Presidents Message.

WAsHINGTON, Nov. 28.-The annual re.
port of the heads of departments are near
ly completed with the exception of that of
the Treasury which is delayed in part by
continued preparations of estimate of the
War Department and other data in that
connection, involving an extraordinary
want of labor.
The Presidents message will probably
be transmitted to Congress on the first day
of the session. No copies will be sent out
graphed to the press as soon as its reading
shall be commenced. The object of this
course is understood to be the prevention
of a premature disclosure of its contents,
and to enable the President to aVain him
self of the latest official intelligence.
Members of Congress Vre arriving by
every trnin, aud have already become nu-
meruus.

pefense Of Gen. mcdowell.

WAsHISGToS, Nov. 26.-The Court of
Inquiry in the case of Gen. Mcdowell re-
assembled to-day, when he having been
called upon read a paper submitting plan
of investigation iu the course of which he
says that details of the disaster of the first
battle Of Bull Run, having been investiga-
ted by joint committee of Congress, and
he having since been appointed by the
President and confirmed by the Senate as
Major General. He has not thought II me-
cessary to ask the court to take up that
campaign, but only to investigate his con-
duct since he was Thus commissioned. The
question which stands forth prominently in
this case aud which may be assumed as the
charge to which all other points can be re
garded as speculations in that Of treason
knowing Of no specific act, none having
been charged, he has the difieult task OF
proving a negative by direct proof. This
is impossible aud The only way he knows
of doing SO is by such evidence as shall
cause innocence TO be inferred.
1t was With this view be wrote to the
President asking an investigation on such
points as would if the result should prove
favorable leave do doubt to his predjudi-
ces.
In addition TO this question of his gen.
eral coDduCt as an executive and admiuis-
tratiYe officer, be asks enquiry 70 be made
in those points which be supposes NAV
have had weight in the minds Of Others
and direct bearing on the main question,

THE AMERICAN QUESTION IN EzGLAxD-RUs
STA ON INTERVENTION.

STA ON IsTERvESTIoS.
HALIFAX, Nov. 26.-Ths steamer Africa
has arrived. The following is the latest
intelligence received from London, via
Queenstown:
LONDON, Nov. Is, evening.-The morn
ing Herald bitterly denOunces the uon-in-
tervention,policy Ofthe British government,
and says the language of Lord RusselpS
dispatch mocks the hopes and insults the
misery of half million of starving Eng
fish iaboring men. The Herald then
charges the British Cabinet with abject
patience and dastardly submission in order
retain the parliamentary support of Bright
and the Colder party.
The London Nflps thinks that Lord Rus
sells answer is the best that could have
6sen made without entering unnecessarily
into the discussion of the merits of the
case, and reioices at having escaped from
entangling diplomatic relations with
France.
The Journal of St Petersburg contains
the reply of Prince G0rtscbakoF to the
note of DR.. Hays which in substance is as
follows:
After recalling tho constant efforts of
Russia in favor of conciliatiOn. Prince
Gorchakof says that it is requisite above
all things to avoid the appearance of any
pressure whatever capable of chilling the
public opinion in America or of exercising
the susceptibility of that nation. I'VE be-
lieve that combined measure of the three
Great Powers, however couciliatory if, pre-
sented in an official or oficious character
would be the cause of arriving at result
opposed to pacification. However if France
should persist in her intention of media
ton and England should acquiesce in her
course, instructions shall be sent to Baron
Stoeckle at Washington TO lend to both
his colleagues there the French and Eng
lish ministers if not official aid at least a
moral support"

wAsHrSGroN, Nov. 25.-AdVices from the

rebels, instead Of evacuatiug Frederieks-

Instead OF their garrison, contemptibly

been reinforced by the divisions under
Lougstreet and D. II. Hill, variously esti-
mated at from $4,000 to 5000 men, and
formidable batteries have been planted for
their protection. Without some brilliant
stroke of strategy on our part, severe en-
