FROM WASHINGTON

On Sunday last meeting Of tho conscrya
tive members Of the United States Congress
was held in Washington City. Mr.. Crittcn.
den presided, and thirty.fye members were
present and signed the resolutions, which
were adopted, in substance al follows:
l. That the Federal Constitution should
be maintained in tact.
2. That the relations Of the States 10 the
Federal Government arc undisturbed by the
war.
3. That The several States shall be rcycst.
cd with all their rights and privileges under
the Constitution.
4. That the doctrine Of State necessity is
arbitrary and tyrannical, and snbversiyc Of
all Constitutional Government.
s. That no man should have his property
eon6scated except by trial and conviction in
court Of law, with all the rights and priyi.

8. That The acts u conliscation passed and

dacity to say that the English Government
will consider what is the proper course for
1t TO adopt with regard to the proclamation
of Gen. Butler at New Orleans, just as If
that were any business of Lord Palmerston
or of the British Government. Earl Russell
hopes that our Government, for its own sake,
will repudiate the act of General Butler.
This looks somewhat in the nature OF a
threat, as much as to say: "You had better
of your own accord rebuke Gen. Butler, or
we will take you in hand, as we did IN the
case Of the Trent" Is England to become
censor general of the manners OF all nations
in peace and war, and to punish them it
they do not square with her ideas OF propri-
ETY.? Such impudenee and presumption can
find no precedent save in the folly Of the Bril-
fish monarch who stood on the sea shore and
ordered the waves to recede but they flowed
on in their majesty, and poor Canute was
soon compelled to escape from their pow
er.
But let England rest assured, that by any
European coalition she can form she will be
as unsuccessful in her designs against the in
dependence the union and integrity of the
American Republic, as were all her coali-
tions for the dismemberment and destruction
of the Republic of France. AT that time
France had no naval force with which she
could cope with her rival. Yet she held her
own. But the navy of the Republic Of the
United States is more than a match for that
of Britannia, which so long ruled the waves ;
and whereas France was surrounded in close
contiguity by England and her allies, the
field Of operations IN America would be sep
arated from the foe by vast ocean 5000
miles wide. How much less, therefore, is
her chance of success against Republic
mightier than France, and that has remain
ed unconquered ever since she had an exis.
tence.
Let British stateman, therefore, beware o.
what they do. The cup Of their iniquity !:

out Of two wars with the United States; out
of third, perhaps, they would never come

perhaps Ireland, taking advantage Of her ty
rants difficulty, would at last work out ;

island alone in its glory.

EARL VAN dorm,
Major General Commanding,

The armies below Richmond. so far as is
known, maintain the positions and status
heretofore reported. As matter OF conjec.
ture only. we incline to the opinion that the
game is for the present played out. The
position now held By the enemy gives him
the benefit Of his gunboats, ID both the James
and the Chickahominy, and is in other re.
spects one that interpOses unusual Difficult.
ties and peris in the way Of attack. And,
as il is not to be expected that Mcclellan
will be ready soon for offensive operations,
we are prepared for an interval Of non action.

great and signal victory in the late bloody
battles on the Chickahominy. is an undenia
'tbmprete aRu detIsiye one we regret to say
is not to be so claimed. We have acquired
glory in abundance. We have taken thou
sands Of prIsoners-captured many heavy
and splendid guns, very large quantity 0f
small arms, ammunition, stores, horses,
mules. wagons, ambulances, tents, great
coats, &c. We have compelled the enemy
to destroy immense piles Of his provisions

which had cost him so much labor and trea-
sure TO construcl, and to make hurried re-
treat to new position twenty miles further
from Richmond than that which lie % care

We count among our prisoners one Major
General and four Brigadiers, besides crowd
of Colonies, Majors, Captains, Lieutenants
and other commissioned officers. All this
constitutes, according TO The established mil
itary rules Tor estimating results in such
case, brilliant victory. Napoleon himself
would have proclaimed il as such If lie had
obtained il. But the grandest result Or All
is the deliyerance Of our Capital from he
danger which SO long and SO fercely threat
ened it. Richmond is now safe, and will be

to transfer his forces from one side Of the
