From New York.

New York, Aug. 9.-The Times says
Prince Napoleon and suite returned from
Manassas late this evening. Beauregard and
Johnston both received him, and invited him
to go to Richmond and see the President
He says the Notifications at Manassas are
formidable, and our guns, particularly Sber-
mans battery, form an important part of the
defences. Beauregard informed the Prince
that he captured 81 guns.
1t is authenticated that the man, Smith,
captured in New York, is a member of the
Confederate Congress, and will be held as a
hostage for Ely.
The World says a six gun ice boat and the
George Page fought at the mouth of Aqua
Creek. The Page went up the Creek.

Potomac unobstructed.
On Wednesday night five boats filled with
armed men crossed from Maryland to White
house Point, where the Confederates are
planting batteries.
The Tribune says gangs OF men are at
work establishing telegraph lines from head
quarters to all the camps.
The Herald says that there is reliable in
telligence that the Confederates are concen-
trating large bodies at every ford of the PO-
tomac from Point of Rock to Alexandria. 1t
is difficult to tell whether these movements
are preliminary to an ateack, or to guard
against another Federal advance. The opin-
ion of experienced officers is that they are
purely defensive. McClellan's preparations
are equally available for otfense or attack
His arrangement will enable him to repel all
attack at any point along his whole line, or
to move forward his whole column simulta-
neously upon any given point.
