From St. Louis.

A gentleman who arrived in Memphis
yesterday, says the Appeal of the 24th,
Just from st, Louis, represent the excite
ment throughout the Northwest Ms very
intense since tho reception of the late
news touching the warlike attitude OF
Great Britain. The Sccessionists Of that
city are greatly encouraged by it, and be.
lieve the day of their deliverance near,
Gen. Halleck has levied tax Of ten
thousand dollars upon all resident OF St.
Louis, who sympathize with the "rebols,"
for the purpose disappearing the Union"
refugees, who are driven there by the
indignation Of the loyalists Of middle
and Northern Missouri. A large por.
ton of this levy WINS upon the property
OF Bishop Kendrick, of well-known loyal
sentiments. The consequence of this
move has been that the disailection OF
the Irish element, already great, has
been increased almost to state OF in
subordnation.
Our informant says that II Gen. Price
should approach within twenty miles of
St. Louis, the rush of citizens to his
standard at this time would DO enthnsi
astic and overwhelming.

Canada War Movements.

The Montreal Advertiserstat eS that the
commander Of the forces has proceeded
west to take the necessary steps for piac-
ing that portion Of the province in a state
OF defense. 1t has been resolved to call
ont the provincial militia for drill during
the winter, and steps have been taken to
erect some Notifications at weak points,
Tor which purpose the sappers and miners
at Halifax have been ordered to Montreal.
Tho government steamers will not winter
at Quebec, but proceed to the lakes, so
that they can be employed, in case of an
emergency, before the opening Of the riv-

French Views of tho Imbroglio,

The Paris correspondent Of the New
York Times says there is n universal foel-
ing in France against the United Statcs.--
In case of war between the North and
England, France will inevitably join the
South. 10 PaGio says that the act of
Com. Wilkes was gross outrage, which,
Il approved by the Federal government,
will show that they are insane; that
France will join England in recognizing
the Southern Ccnicdoiacy, ohastisng tho
North, and re-establishing trade with the
South. The Press takes sides with the
South. The Dcbats says Wilkes act was
useless and impolitic.-

General SCOTS Return.

The telegraph announced yesterday the
return Of Gen. Scott from Europe, having
sailed directly from a French port to New
York. Ii was understood when he re-
signed his position at the head Of the
Federal Army, hat he would proceed to
Europe and spend year or two, in Eng.
land, France and Italy. He was supposed
to be on his way to the last when at Paris.
His sudden and unexpected return has
given rise to numerous s~aculations as TO
the cause which produce :. II is said
that he brings important patches from
France relative to the fee, . OF the En-
pcror on the subject OF tn, English and
Federal imbroglio; and some 60 so far as
to assert that he brings assurances of the
Emperor's cordial sympathies with the
United States and his readiness to espouse
their Quarrel in the event of a rupture
with England. We don't believe word
of this; though the return Of Gen. Scott
would indicate that he had struck n breeze
Of some character in Paris, which caused
him to reverse tho order Of his going

Disappointment.

The New York Times says "ihorc has
been considerable disappointment felt
that the landing of Yankee troops on the
coast of North and South Carolina, has
not produced the diversion of the Con
iederate troops before Washington which
was anticipated. The expected rush
horneward Of the Carolina Coniederatcs to
defend tbcir own States, has not taken
place, and, consequently, Mcclellan has
a, strong an enemy t front now to fight

twenty Thousand men at llatteras and

From Missouri.

The st. Louis Republican Of the oath
has information Of the North Missouri
Railroad between Warrenton and Hud-
son. II is stated that at shor. distances
all the way, the track is torn up, the ties
burned, rails broken or bent so as to be
useless. Wellsburg station was burnt with
all its contents. The large bridge over
Davis Fork Of Salt River, west of Mexico,
and the bridge crossing Cuivre River
were burnt, and all the culverts either
burnt or torn down. Cars of all kinds de.
stroyed--even the hand cars OF the track
men. Referring to the casualties, the
SAME paper says: who were engaged in
this work of wholesale destruction is not
known but It is stated that the inbabi-
tants along the road say that no repairs
can be made except where the road is
guarded by Federal troops" 1t is also
stated that the Army Argus, printed in
Gen. Prices camp, was in circulation
which said: "Tbe day Of retribution is at

aSy. The arrest of Mason and Sl,dell

16s. The arrest Of Mason and Slidell
has precipitated the North into a very
delicate, not to say precarious, condition.
The mouth.pieces of the Washington dcs-
potism can find no act OF the English
Government to justify their own wrong,
except the arrest oil Henry Laurens, dur
ing the Revolution of '76. The cases are
wholly dissimilar. Mr.. Laurens was not
sailing on neutral vessel from one neu.
trail port 10 another. He was on his way
from Charleston, South Carolina TO Hol-
land. and having been previously the
President of the Continental Congress,
was arrested and confined in the Tower at
London, with view, on the part Of the
enemy, Of obtaining valuable information
concerning the movements, operations
and resources Of the "rebels." His com.
mitment specified that ii was on a "suspi.
cion of treason" There Is no analogy
between the cases, in point Of fact, and
very little in the matter Of general sur
roundings.

the great FIRE ''There is no doubt what
ever that the fire was purely the result Of
accident. II probably originated from the
sparks OF campfire WHICH VIZ liz TO the
windward Of the large sash factory where
the flames first burst forth. A furious
gale had just arisen. and in less than an
hour the lower portion of the ci,s was
afre in dozen places. The wind whirled
about great chunks Of turning wood for 4
distance OF many blocks from the blaming
tenements, and the vast multitude OF
these red fakes, lighting up the air. gave
to the scene the aspect Of a fiery snow
storm. The conhagratson attained its full
width among the dry and ancient finder

From that neighborirood it swept rapidly
and resistlessly forward, spreading Meth.
or to the left nor to the right, but borne
by the wind in straight line. diagonally
through the city. until il had cleared its
road Of ruin from the Cooper to the Ash.
ley river. 1t is somewhat singular to mark
the clesrness with which the broad line
pursued by the fire Is defined. Indeed,
so furious and unchanging was the gale
