at Nashville on Thursday with heavy rein
forcements and assumed command.

guerrillas, who were cheered and treated with
great consideration by many of the inhabi-

CAPE RACE, July 19.-The steamship North
American from Liverpool July 10th via
Queenstown the 18th, passed this morning, on
her way to Quebec. The dates are one day
later. The news of the series of battles
fought before Richmond excited the greatest
attention, and it was thought that it would re-
suit in prolonging the war. A correspondent
of the London Times writing from the Pa
munkey says that the courage of the federal
volunteers is above all praises, and that their
hardships are mainly attributable to the ignor-
ance and drunkenness of their officers.
The Times opposes the Manchester de-
mand for interference in the American war.
A meeting at Stockport adopted a petition to
parliament not to hesitate acknowledging the
independence of the southern confederacy, so
as to obtain supply of cotton.
The London Daily News treats the result
of the fighting as a serious reverse to the fed
erals, and as likely to lengthen out rather
than shorten the war. The London Times says
the strategical movements of Gen. Mcclellan
are purely unintelligible, and adds that recent
events must infuse new energy into the con-
federate arms, and may produce results cal
culated to lead to a cessation of hostilities,
and eventually to the termination of the war.
The Prince of Wales is about to visit Rus
STA in the royal yacht. The French admiral,
Grariere, had gone to Cherboug to embark
for American waters. The viceroy of Egypt
has promised the Manchesterians an in
creased supply of cotton next year.
The sales of cotton in the Liverpool market
for the week added up 6, 700 bales Surats
had declined 3-4 and American descriptions
1-2 penny per pound The market closed
flat; consols 80 IA to 80 3-S for money.
The viceroy of Egypt, in speech at Man
chester, said, in regard to cotton, that next
year he felt confident in promising from
Egypt, if not double the amount of the last
crop, at least an increase of one half.

New YORK, July 20.-The steamer Roam
oke, from New Orleans the 18th, arrived last
night. Reverdy johnson had arrived. Two
young New Orleans ladies had presented the
18th Connecticut regiment with a beautiful
United States flag. The arrival there of 5000
barrels of flour by the Roanoke induced Gen.
Butler to order the price of flour to be reduced
to $24. 1t had reached $39 or $40.
George Boupil having been recognized as
British vice consul by lord Lyons and apollo
gized to Gen Butler for offensive expression
in his letter of the 18th of June, has been ac-
knowiedged by Gen Butler as representative
of Great Britain.
Arms, clothing, &C., for five regiments of
Louisanians reached New Orleans per the
Fulton, and the organization has commenced
with prospect of success. Capt. Magus
company of cavalry had broken up the rebel
camp at Anita Bridge, killed and wounded
several, and brought eight prisoners and lot
of horses, arms, stores, &C., to Baton Rouge.
The British brig Richard O'Brien, from
Kingston, with contraband stores, was burned
by boats crews from the Rhode Island, in
Galveston harbor, on the 4th. The boats
crews further celebrated the 4th by planting
the stars and stripes on Texas soil.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY PoToMAc, July 49,
"A flag of truce went up yesterday from
Turkey Island Creek, having on board Gen.
Dix, who went to meet Gen. Hill for the pur-
pose of making permanent arrangement for
an exchange of prisoners. The interview was
highly satisfactory, but no conclusion being
arrived at, the flag of truce will return to-day,
when Gen. Lee will be present.
Richmond papers of to-day contain ac-
counts of the death of Gen. Twiggs at Angus
ia, July 10Th.
An Engishman, who represented himself as
son of the Duke of Somerset, was found at
headquarters, a few days since, under suspi-
cious circumstances. He stated that he was
with the rebel Gen. Pryor during the recent
battle of seven days. He has been sent north.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-The overland mail
service has been suspended, in consequence
OF removing the stock, &C., preliminary to
changing the route, which will strike off at
Julesburg, and follow the Cherokee trail
through Bridgers Pass, to Salt Lake, and
thence to the Pacific. This arrangement will
save lao miles of travel, and protect the

graphic line will, it is said, necessarily be
changed to the new mail line. After the last
sea mail to California, namely, on the 2lst
inst, the overland service will be resumed.
James S. Hallowell has been appointed dis
bursting officer of the post office department
