From western yIrgI8ia-TheF Federal
Campaign Ended.


The Cincinnati Enquirer of Saturday con-
tains the following information respecting
the Federal force in Western Virginia,
brought to that city by passenger On the
Mayv Cook from the Kanawha:
During the past two weeks there have been
continuous rains, and the roads are almost
impossible.
The campaign in Western Virginia is VIZ
tually ended. and preparations are on loot TO
withdraw a portion of our forces there. and
send them into Kentucky leaving only suffi-
cient force to prevent the rebels from approach
ing north of Gauley River or west OF Cheat
Mountain The probabilities are, however,
that the Seceshers have no desire to come
through country they already had lad
waste and left barren. a..
Mr. Quinn was at Sewell's Mountain when
a battle between our forces and the rebels
was so imminent. The enemy were entrenchs
ed on a mountain four miles and hall nom
our army, and their camp fires were plainly
visible. The enemy's pickets fired upon the
Federal pickets. but no damage done. On
Sunday evening General Rosecrans fell back
on Gimp Lookout, aud then to Mountain
Gave. We will not be surprised to hear OF
Rosecrans in Kentucky within ten days. The
enemy have already gone in the direction oil

WASHINGTON, Oct 19.-Lord Lyons several
days ago, addressed letter to the secretary of
state, in which lie said her maiesty's govern.
ment were much concerned 10 find two British
subjects Messrs. Patrick and Rahnnie, had
been subjected to arbitrary arrest and although
they had been released, it could not but regard
the matter rs one requiring very serious con.
silerat0n Lyons, under instructions, there
fore, felt bound to demonstrate against such
irregular proceedings, as he designated them,
and TO say the authority OF congress was nee,
essary in order to justify the arbitrary arrest
and Imprisonment OF British subjects.
Secretary Seward, in the course of his re-
ply, after detailing the facts in regard to the
TWO arrests, says: "The proceedings of which
the British government complain, were taken
upon information conveyed to the president
by the legal police authorities Of the country
aud were not inslituted until after he had sus
pended the writ Of freedom in just the extent
that in view of points Of the state he deemed
il necessary Tor The exercise Of that discretion
He as well rs his advisers, among whom are
the secretaries of war and state, Is responsible
by law before the highest judicial tribunal of
the republic, and amenabe also to the judg
ment OF his countrymen and the enlightened
portion of the civilized world"
In conclusion, Mr. Seward remarks that the
safety OF the people has become in the present
emergency supreme law and so long as the dan
ger shall exist all classes OF society equally
the denizen and the citizen, should cheeriuliy
acquiesce in the measures tie law prescribes.
"This government does not question the learn
ing of the legal advisers OF the British crown
on the justice OF the Difference which her ma
iesty says to them Nevertheless the British
government will hardly expect the president
will accept their explanations OF the constitu-
ton of the United States, especial" when the
constitution expounded would leave upon him
the sole executive responsibility Of suppress
ing the existing Instruction, while it would
transfer to congress the most material and in
dspeusbe power 10 be employed for that pur.
pose Moreover these explanations find no
real support in the letter ITSELF much less in
the spirit of the constitution itself He must
be allowed, therefore, to prefer and be govern
ed by the view Of our organic natural law,
which, while it enable him to execute his
great trust with complete success, receives the
sanction of the highest authorities of our own
country, and is sustained by the general con
sent OF the people for whom alone that consti-
tuition was established. avail myself Of this
opportunity to off your lordship renewed
assurance of my very high consideration"

LATEST FROM WASHIEGEON.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-Yesterday General
Heintzelman made reconnaissance, in force,
toward 0ccoquan river. Rebel pickels were
encountered al Pohck Church, who retreated
and gave an alarm. The beat OF the long roll
in the rebel camps. across Acotink Creek, was
distinctly heard From information Obtained
it appears that there is no force of the enemy
between the telegraph road and the river above
Occoquan, and only few rebel troops at the
latter place
There was a reconnaissance by Col. Sweetser
of Gen McClellan's staff, today, for some dis
lance beyond Vienna Nothing was seen of
the rebels
A conlraband who has arrived at General
Stones camp, reports that there are three reg
iments at Leesbutg, packed up and ready to
retreat, on Goose Greek, and if attacked there
to retreat TO Manassas.
Those who are effected with weak nerves
will probably be relieved by the fact which
was ascerlained.ar the state department that
advices received by the mails Of the steamer
Arabia are more than usually satisfactory, but
there is great activity in schemes for violating
the blockade and introducing contraband
goods Lord Lyons has addressed a brist
circular to her majesty's consuls in
southern states enclosing the tollowil 6
as embodied in an official note OF the
secretary OF state, VIZ = ne law ul OlO;K-
ade, which does not permit vessel III block
AIDED port to take ON board Cargo, after the
announcement of blockade, will be expected
to be strictly observed by all vessels b0ckaded
by the naval forces of the United States.
Lord Lyons instructs those consuls to take
this law for their guidance
This morning heavy detachment from
Gen. Smiths division, with portions of Motifs
and Ayres' batteries, and companies OF the
fifth regiment OF regular cavalry, and Colonel
Friedman's Philadelphia cavalry, advanced
toward Fairfax Court House on recon
nosance They went as far as Flint Hill,
which is two mites and half this side Of that
village. aud overlooks it. They saw there the
Dickets of the enemy, in such large force as TO
impress them with belief that the reserve
of the rebel army was not lar from that point.
The expedition was accompanied by Generals
Mcclellan, Porter, Smith, and Hancock. 1t
probably returned about nighttall. A private
of the fifth cavalry regiment, named Byron
Barton. was shot by rebel picket.
The latest accounts represent Gen. Mccall
at Drainesville.
1t is represented by several officers OF the
customs that permits have been given by I'M
authorized persons in northern cities, iaclud-
inp municipal officers for the transportation of
goods destined tor localities in or contiguous to

mis- in such cases is solely vested in the pres
