ri R1cnMoND October sl.--The London Army
and ENooy Gazette of October IL says that it
is believed that Lord Lyons, who is expected
to return to Washington in the course of this
month, will be placed ina position to define
the course and views of her Majesty'sl Govern
ment, without any uncertainties or doubt, in
view of the various phases which the contest
inAmerica may assume, and that the Ministry
wiilhave arrived at positive conclusions, and
will have determined theirpolicy, in reference
to the affairs. of the United States before his
Lordship returns to his post. The views of
Russia are, it is believed, assimilated to those
which the. march of events and the incxorable
logic Of accomplished facts place broadly and
clearly before the government of the Queen
and that Of, his Imperial Majesty. yt agrs.

LONDON, April 8.-The Sumter was still
| at Gibralter and the Tuscarora at Algers.-
On the Sd the sloop of war Kersage, after
a two days visit to Gibralter left for the
West.
In Parliament D'Israeli made an attack
on Sladstone's financial policy and
budget. The letter spoke strongly in
| defense. 4 general debate ensued in
course of which Bentinck attributed the
distress of the country to its incompetent
and inhuman policy in refusing to recog-
nize the Confederate States.
The question of shielded ships and floating
batteries, continue to occupy the attention
of the government. The shipwrights have
all been transferred from wooden to iron
vessels in course of construction.
A proposition was before the Common
Council of London to confer the freedom of
the city in gold box on Mr.. Peabody for
hismuni6cence.
The crops of England and France are re-
ported as most favorable. French manu-
featuring accounts also show more ANNA
ton.
Latest rumors assert that Gen. Guyon
will not be recalled from Rome.
The Paris bourse was fiat at 69E 9Oc.
The Italian Ministry had ordered an in
crease in iron-plated ships. The question
of brigandage and the removal of the Ex-
King of Naples from Rome was debated in
the Italian Chambers.
Ratazzi said the Italian government per-
sisted in pointing out that the presence of
Francis II at Rome is the source of disor-
ders, and he believes Napoleon also shares.
the conviction, and percieves the necessity
for providing against its continuance, but
difficulties cannot all be banshed at
single blow.
The Spanish govern meut had again re-
liberated its firm deter mination to abstain
from any demonstration prejudicial to the
independence of Mexico.
The Danish Rigzidad voted an extraordi-
nary credit of 100000 (Rix dollars) for
iron-plated vessels
The government has contracted for an
iron cupola ship under Capt. Coles inven-
ton, to be ready for sea June 1st 1862.
Experiments with a gun of large size
showed that the hitherto considered most
invulnerable iron sides were, so to speak,
almost as easily penetrable by a shot as
wooden vessels.

ST. LoUIL, April 22.-From a gentleman
who left Memphis few days after the bat
tie at Pittsburg, we learn that the rebels
put in both days of the battle together still
claiming a victory. Their claim rests on
the superstition that more were killed and
wounded and taken prisoners on the federal
side than on their own. Our informant
says that Prentiss made a speech to his
troops in Memphis in which he endeaTored
to nullify their complaints in relation to
their treatment, food, &c. He told them
that they would soon be exchanged and raj
lied them generally to keep up good spirits.
Prentiss was in excellent temper. He
owned up to a defeat on Sunday, but said
the rebels were badly whipped on Monday.
The prisoners were being sent to Rich
mond. Our informant was in Huntsville
when Mitchell reached there with his divi-
sion. The seizure of that place was COM
plete surprise and the occupation of the rail-
road between Decatur and Stephenson was
regarded as the hardest blow the rebels had
yet received.
The rebels were preparing to make
desperate stand at Corinth. Fresh troops
were constantly arriving at Memphis
When he left, business at Memphis was al
most entirely stagnanted and people gener-
ally seemed to believe that they are on the
eve of events, which will speedily decide
the war.
The Rev. DR.. McAnally, editor of the
st. Louis Christian Advocate has been ar
rested and placed in military prison and
his paper suppressed for publishing treason
able matter. This arrest caused no sur
prise, as the course of McAnalley's paper
for some time past has been very obnoxious
to the officers of the government.

WASHINGTON, April 2l.-A message
reached the Senate from the President to-
day, touching the arrest of Ex-Secretary
Cameron at the instance Of Pierce Butler.
The President avows Buffers arrest to be
his act and by his authority. He says it
was justified by State necessity.
The nomination of Col. futile of the I'd
Iowa as a Brigsdier- General has been de-
termined upon.
Gen. Rosencrans is in command of a
corps. He will soon be heard from.
The following telegraph gives the rebel
account of skirmish in North Carolina, of
which we have no news:
GoLDsBoRoGH, April 15.-On Monday
last below Pollockville, near Remission, a
skirmish took place between a detachment
of the I'd North Carolina cavalry regi-
ment and the enemies pickets. Lieut.. Col.
Robinson, who commanded, is probably a
prisoner. Capt. Turner was hurt by fall
from his horse. Two privates were serious
ly injured and five wounded with shots.

that a surveying party of zoo of the 9Th
Michigan landed at Wilmington Island be-
fore Savannah, were surprised by about 800
rebels, who poured on them an effective
fire, killing and wounding several. The
federals returned the FIRE and went gal
lantly into the fight. The rebels, after
short stand, retreated in order. An Adju-
tant of the 9th Maine was killed, with IL
or l3 others, and % or 80 wounded. The
rebel loss is unknown. Fort Pulaski is so
much injured as to be wholly unfit for a

Burnside at Elizabeth City. 1t is stated
that the federal troops, 5000 strong, at

Huntsville, Alabama, correspondent says
that Beauregard's dispatch to Gen. Cooper,
calling FOR reinforcements, was found n the
telegraph Office, having passed over the
wires before Mitchell's division reached
Huntsville. About One-third of the re-
Inducements called for had already passed
down to Corinth. The remainder are COL
lected at Chattanooga and other points on
the Tennessee river, being unable to move
forward on account of the obstruction placed
il their way by Gen. Mitchell. Beaure-
CARDS dispatch was partially written in
cipher but was easily translated by Gen.
Mitchell.
The rolling stock captured by Mitchell
has been sent to Nashville.
