SPECIAL TO POST.

WAsH1NGToN, Nov. 2O.-The grand review
of our troops held to-day at Balls Gross
Roads, has attracted an immense crowd of
spectators, and Washington is almost de-
populated. Fifty thousand men are under
review by Gen. Mcclellan, and their ex-
cellent condition ELECTS the warmest praise.
The soldiers are ready for any service that
may be required, and tee reception they
gave the General shows they have full faith
in him as a leader -e
ss Thirteen men OF the i4th Brooklyn, New
I ork, who we're engaged IN the picket
fight on Monday, are still missing 1t is
feared they have fallen into the hands of
the enemy. The rebels continue their COR
respondence with their friends in Washing
ton, and their mail carriers IN Virginia still
defy che Government, carrying messages TO
and from Richmond without detention9 38
A ridiculous report is in circulation here
to The effect that the administration has
given assurances to the British government
that British vessels shall have access TO the
cotton ports before the expiration, Of the
winner.

WAsEINGToN, Nov. ia sGrous effort
Is being made here by prominent Kentucki-
ians te procure an exchange Of the Hon.
Charles S. Morehead, of Kentucky, now con-
fined at Fort Warren, for Chas. Anderson
of Texas, a brother Of Brigadier General
Robert Anderson, who was seized and i'm
prisoned by the rebels for his adherence TO
the Union. 81
Within the last few days immense trains
of loaded army wagons, ambuiances and ar
tillery wagons have been going to Virginia.
Z Without waiting to ascertain how far the
act of Capt. Wilkes is justified by the ac-
knowledged and established principles of
international law, some of the ministers
from foreign parts have allowed themselge
to be betrayed into expressions exhibiting
infinitely more passion and prejudice than
Judgment and diplomatic intelligence.
The representative of one power openly
declared that if Mason and Slidell had been
taken from Spanish ship, he would imme-
diately have demanded his passports. Lord
Lyons is said to have assumed q menacng
tone, and to have declared that the prison
ers must be given NJ, or ample reparation
made for offense offered to the dignity OF
the British crown. Nothing of this kind
has ever been officially animated. But IN
ordinary intercourse these expressions OF
disapprobstion and hostility have been IN
guardedly made

TRIBUNE's DISPATCH.

WASHINGTON, Nov. I9.-Lord Lyons has
not behaved like a diplomatist since the
news of the capture of Messrs. Mason and
SlideIl He is silent in his official capac-
ity. Unoficially, he is almost impertinent
in his conversation. He assumes that there
can De no question between his government
and ours, that the United States must yield
the point in controversy, and will disavow
the act Of Capt. Wilkes, and must return
Mason and Slidell 70 the bosom of the only
power which seems heartily to desire the
acknowledgement of this Republic.
Edward Everett, Edward NJ. Stanton and
Reverdy Johnson have expressed the opin-
ion that our right to take and keep Mason
and Slidell is unquestionable.
The rebel pickets have advanced mile
or two since Sunday. fzaf-
Gen. Porter reports a considerable force
two miles from Vienna, whose purpose, ac-
cording to the rumors which reach him, is
to sweep off ali the forage beyond Falls
Church.
Gen. Cullom, lately OF Gen. SCOTS staff,
is chief Of Gen. Halleck's staff and chief OF
Engineers. He leaves for st. Louis on
Thursday. i1
To-day an engine aud cars ran ont on the
