English Views of American Affairs.

The fighting before Richmond is treated
as severe reverse for II o Unionists by tho
whole English press, and Gen. Mcclellan 8
position is regarded as precarious.
Lord Palmerston had stated that the
British troops would not be withdrawn from
Canada
The London Herald treats the affair be-
fore Richmond as decisive defeat of Gen.
Mcclellan, and says that the Confederate
capital is safe. 1t does not believe, how
ever, that tho campaign in Virginia is end
cd, but supposes that it will go or unit
Europe stays tho uplifted swords, and in tb,
namo ofhumanity enforces peace.
| The Lcndon Morning Post argues tina
practically the scheme against Richmond
has terminated. 1t then proceeds TO poin
out the dangerous position of McClellani
army.
The London Globe hopes that the gigan
tic difficulties which arc being developed il
tho progress of the.war, may have an etfec
on both sides, and that more reasonable
views may superoode the plan of miitar,
conquests.
The Times urges that the fighting befor,
Richmond must have been of the highes
importance. McClelan's position canno
bu. bo precarious. and the Confedorates are
strong enough to hold their position in vir
gina for time, that may be indefinitely
prolonged. Evidently the Federals will
have again to begin the siege of Richmond
with much worse chance than at first.
The new American tariff continues to ex.
cite strong hostile comment. Tho Times
bitterly denounces the spirit which regards
the tariff with satisfaction, because of its In
furious effect upon England in particular
and Europe in general
| In tho Lords on the | lth, Lord Brougham
| called attention to the slave trade, and
urged that tho Northern States were not
entitled to the credit assumed to themselves
for tho measures recently taken for the
suppression of the trade. The bill for tho
carrying out of the treaty finally passed the
Commons.

tional Intellgencer of tho 18th says:
It is with much qualification that we hear
of the arrival in Hampton Roads of another
body of effective troops, being tho division
of Con. Stevens, from South Carolina, and
intended, doubtless. to reinforce tho army
operating against Richmond. This division,
which, after its long service in South Caro-
lima, cannot be presumed to be very strong
In numbers arrived in Hampton Roads on
Tuesday last, on board the steamers Van
derbilt, Mississippi and Ben. Deford. 1t is
said to consist, in part. of the Seventy ninth
New York, Fiftieth Pennsylvania, Eighth
Michigan, Ninety-seventh Pennsylvania,
Twenty eighth Massachusetts,, Seventh Con-
nectcut, and of two batteries of artillery.
All the sick and disabled men of the COM
mand were left behind.

HEApoR's ARMY or TIE PorONAo

aEADQkS Army OF THE tOTOMAC,f
Camp at Harrison's Landing, July 4, 1885,
Soldiers of the Army of tho Potomac:
Your achievements Of the last few days have
illustrated the valor and endurance Of the Amer.
lean soldier. Attacked by superior forces and
without hope of reinforcements, you have sue
ceeded in changing your base of operations BY
a flank movement, always regarded az the most
hazardous of military expedients. You have
saved all your material, all your trains, and all
your guns, except few lost in battle, taking in
return guns and colors from the enemy. Upon
yosr march you have been assailed day after day
with desperate fury by men of the same race and
nation, skillfully massed and led.
Under every disadvantage of numbers, and
necessarily OF position also, you have, in every
conflict, beaten back your foes with enormous
slaughter. Your conduct ranks you among the
celebrated armies of history. No one will now
question that each of you may always, with pride,
say, 81 belong to the Army of the Potomac. -
You have reached the new base complete in Or
ganizstion and unimpaired in spirit.
The enemy may at any time attack you. We
are prepared to meet them. 1 have personally
established your lines.
Let them come, and We will convert their re-.
pulse into a final defeat.
Your government is Strengthening you with
the resources Of a great people,
On this, our national birthday, we declare to
our foes, who are rebels against the best inter-
ests Of mankind, that this army shall enter the
capital of the so called Confederacy; that our
national constitution shall prevail; and that the
Uuion, which can alone insure internal peace
and external security to each State, must and
shall be preserved, cost what it may in time,

From Memphis and Vicksburg,

The steamer Sunshine and W. Fl. Brown from
Vicksburg, yesterday, bring meagre intelligence
as follows:
Bombar dment by the batteries continues slow
ly. Com. Porter had some twenty mortars in
position below the town, and Com. Davis six
above. The batteries replied slowly to the fire
of the mortars. The water will probably be let
into the canal on Sunday.
The town is abandoned by the inhabitants, and
occupied by a garrison of $4,000 confederate
troops under Van Dorm.
The Mississippian of the I'd has an account of
its editor who visited Vicksburg after the en-
gagement of Sunday last. He thinks the FEEDER
ais we're fred on by salute of the Rebels in
honor OF the reported victory at Richmend, Just
received. Some of the thirteen guns were fred
shotted. The Federals Immediately opened tu-
riously open the city, keeping up lombard
ment until twelve o'clock at night. The shells
struck principally in the vicinity of the Catholic
church. The effect OF the shells was terrific
The editor Of the Missssppian had just entered
the city, when the shells coming uucomforably
near he was advised to retreat, and accordingly
retreated. The next morning, Monday, he en-.
tered the city again. All was quiet except the
hustle of moving furniture and things
of value. He rode through the city to observe
the effect of the bombardment, and was i'm
pressed with the comparative slight damage
DONE Probably 500 shots were counted. In
some instances the shell passed through row
of houses, leaving hole scarcely larger than
itself to pass through, and on reaching the bill,
there exploded.
One fifteen inch shell from q mortar entered
the bluffs to depth of five to ten feet No
fires originated from the explosion of the shells.
The enemy are evidently not DESTROYS of burn.
ing the town, or they would have used incen-
diary shell.
On Monday at 9 P. n, the Federals re.opened
with their mortars, and kept up a constant fire
till Tuesday evening at o'clock. On Wednes-
day morning all was quiet. The rebels report
one of Com. Farragut's boats sunk and Others
badly cut up. 1t is not SO, however.
: Arkansas news, from the Little Rock Gazette
Of the 2Sth ult., says the Federals have evacua.
ted Indian Bay, st. Charles, and the whole Of
the lower White River, and gone in the drec-
ton of Memphis. Gen. Curtis left Bstssvlle,
crossed Black River, and is supposed to DO
marching towards Caiche bridge, with view OF
getting to Crovley's Ridge and reaching the
Mississippi.

rHE LACK OF SUPPLIES.
It must be remembered by the public that
nearly the entire army has been under arms
since Wednesday of last week, now seven days
On Thursday and Friday the men put three days
rations in their haversacks; but as is always
the case soldiers eat up three days in one; nine
tenths of them have not had an issue of COM
missary stores since until to-day; and therefore
most of them have been for three days, without
anything but hard crackers, and many of them
had not even that. I myself had been able to
hours Water, too, has been scarce, and this
has weakened the men in a vast degree. Need
say, then, that when the troops arrived at the
river Yesterday, and nav not friendly trans
port there, their hearts almost sank at the pros
pect. Exhausted, weary, and famished, they
could not be expected to fight. Yet their spi-
rits-brave and noble men-neyer failed them.
