WAsHISGToE, Sept. 22.-From the de-
velopements made to-day l am satisfied the
statements forwarded last night purporting
to come from a man just from Manassas
concerning the strength and condition of
the rebels was garbled, coming through a
third party. To-day | have seen him and
his statement is very clear and is confirmed
by numerous other statements made by
other reliable parties. His position of late
at Richmond, Manassas. Winchester, Harp
er's Ferry, Munson's Hill and Fairfax, at
different periods, and his extensive,acquaint-
ance with many things, have enabled him to
Judge well of the condition and movements
of the rebels. He says the number of
troops from Richmond to the Potomac at
Leesburg in one direction and Acquia Greek
and Matthias Point in another, may safely
be put down at It's, 900. $4,000 of them
were at Richmond three days ago. Another
80, 600 at Manassas, the remaining $4,000
are scattered along from that point to Mum

THE SECREF4RY or STA TIE ON
RTLSSEL

WARRINGTON, Sept. 21.-The Secretary
of State in reply to memorials, asking the
attention of the Government to what they
call reasonable matter, in Russels letter of
August 10th to the London Times, says it
has been the habit of this gentleman to
take no notice of representations however
obnoxious by the press of foreign nations.
This government has only recognized as
worthy of observation the language and &C
tions of the executive organs of foreign
States, and says the publication complained
of had not arrested the attention of himself
or any member of the Administrations !;
that these representations stand upon the
Individual authority of the person making
them. The government OF the United
States does not depend upon the good will
or favor of foreign nations, but upon the
Just support of the American people, and
that it seems to him that censure ought to
fall upon those papers which reproduce these
articles in this country, rather than the
foreigner who wrote the articles for remote
publication, and finally that interference
with the press Bven inspiring exciting insur-
rection can only be justified on grounds of
public danger
The Secretary of State has issued circu-
lar in order to prevent seizures OF property
belonging to citizens Of insurrectionary
s tates not warranted by acts of Congress
relating to that subject, and directs special
attention of the United States Marshals to
the provisions of these acts.
