SUSPENSION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS AT NEW ORLEANS.
The banks Of New Orleans suspended specie
payments at the request of the Governor Of
Louisiana, who issued a proclamation on the
subject, stating that the step was necessary to
maintain the credit of the $lOO, 100000 Of
Treasury notes issued by the Confederate Gov.

NEW YORK HERALD TUESDAY NOVEMBER 49, ss-TR1PLE SHEET

were expected at Ro'la yesterday, where General
Wyman had already arrived.
We give to-day the official reports of the battle
of Belmont by Generals Grant and McClernand.
From Fortress Monroe we receive intelligence Of
contemplated expedition down the James river
by the rebel General Magruder, in which two or
three fire boats are to be used. Our naval force
at Newport News has been strengthened to meet
the rebel attack. In our news from the South we
find reference to Magruder's expedition from the
Richmond Dispatch, calling for additional supplies
of beef cattle for Magruder's forces.
1t appears that another attack by the rebels on
Wilson'S Zouaves, at Santa Rosa Island, was medi-
tated, but defeated.
Mr.. Savage, United States Vice Consul at Ha-
vana, who had been to Key West on business and
returned on the 10th inst reported that 500 rebel
troops were discovered by the Union patrols some
twenty miles from the fort on Santa Rosa Island.
The patrol Immediately informed the commander
of the fleet, who sent a force and shelcd them OF
the Island, Win great loss III Is suPPoseu tuc W
ject was to get together 900 or more rebels,
and, with o forced march to Colonel Wilson's
camp make another night attack upon them. The
greatest vigilance is exercised by the commander
of the Zouaves.
An important expedition under General Butler,
destined for some Southern port, is under way at
Boston. The new and splendid transport Constitu-
ton arrived there yesterday, and It is said that
from Massachusetts,, Connecticut and Maine, are
to be embarked on board of her. The precise des
tination of this expedition is, Of course, not an
nounced, but that it will make its mark on Southern
soil cannot be doubted.

In another column will be found highly in
teresting intelligence from Havana, to the effect
that the Confederate war steamer Nashville,
which ran the blockade of Charleston, had
on board seventy rebel naval officers. The
last we heard of the Nashville was that
she was at Bermuda on the LIST of November.
Our readers will recollect that the Charleston
Mercury, in giving an account of the sailing of
the Theodore from the same harbor, with the
rebel Commissioners-Mason and Slidell-on
board, stated that they were accompanied by
Captain Coxetter, formerly of the JEFF. Davis
and "other gentlemen whom it would be best
Tor the present not to name" Now there can
be little doubt that these others were rebel naval
officers, and that the whole Of them are on their
way to Europe to take command of privateer
steamers which were to be purchased for them
by Mason and Slidell, had these functionaries
not been intercepted by the daring enterprise
of Commodore Wilkes
By reference to our account on another page
Of the naval officers in the rebel service, it will
be seen that there are some eighty Of them and
inasmuch Is it is extremely difficult, If not i'm
possible, to fit out any more privateers on this
side of the Atlantic, it is but reasonable to pre-
sumo that they are Fastening to the other side.
Already the steamers Nashville, Fingl and
Bermuda, said to be iron-clad, are at sea in the
rebel service, together with the Sumter, still
'uncaptured, and it 10 expected that these will
be reinforced from Europe, " well as from the
Southern ports, by steamers waiting for an Oh

The FEDERAL LOAN-FAvORABI.E DISPOSITION
OF EUROPEAN CApITALIsrs.-Else will be
found an interesting letter from one of our
Paris correspondents, which gives cheering
view of the improved feeling entertained to-
wards us by the leading European capitalists.
They, and not the journalists are, after all, the
real masters and controllers of the policy Of
the European governments Holding the purse
strings, without the loosening of which the lat
ter cannot go to war, we may balance their
favorable feeling in our regard against The bel
licose vaporings of the English tory journals
trusting to time to bring the latter to reason.
Much Of the friendly disposition thus evinced
towards us is. it will be seen, due to MIR. Bel
mont who has been detained in Europe for tho
last four or five months by the sickness of his
wife, and who has not ceased during that time
to enlighten foreign capitalists on the true con-
dition of affairs here. Coming from party oc-
cupying so high financial position in this coun-
try as well as in connection with the Roths-
childs, his views have naturally carried with
them great weight, and have been mainly in
strumental in producing this gratifying result.
He has been enabled to speak with the more
authority in reference to the policy of our
government from the fact that, previous to his
departure from here, he had repeated confer
ences on the subject with the leading members
of the administration. Our correspondent says
that the unfavorable impression produced by
the Bull run and Lexington reverses has, ow-
ing to Mr.. Belmont's efforts so far, been dissi.
pated that it requires but one or two great
federal victories to enable us to place as much
of the federal loan at the other side as we re-
quire The news of the capture Of Beaufort,
and of the rising of the Unionists of East Ten
nessee, will fulfil that condition. If the bank.
here choose to send into the English and French
markets portion of the new fifty million loan
for which they have just contracted, we have
no doubt that it will be instantly absorbed.
Their doing SO would be sound policy, mas
much as it would insure the retention here of Q
large amount Of foreign specie that might other.
