Encoln's message was read in the abolition

seven columns of the Times, and is sorry docu-

of peace, we can but press on, trusting that all
will be we'll. He calls bis famous proclamation

advance because the Pontoon bridges did not ar
rive in tune. Burnside intended arresting the
party responsible for the delay. 1t was rumored
that Gen. Megs had been removed, and Gen.
Woodbury. arrested for causing this delay.

DRouYN De L'HUYs.
EARL RUSSELL'S REPLY.
FoREIGN OFFICE Nov. !

FOREIGN OFFICE, Nov. Is, 1862.
My LoRD-The Count De Flahaut came to the
Foreign office by appointment, on Monday the 9th
inst, and read to ME despatch from NJ. Drouvn
de L'Huys, relating to the civil war in North
America. In this despatch the Ministe, for For
egn Affairs states that the Emperor has followed
with painful interest the struggle which has now
been going for more than year on the Ameri-
can continent. He does justice to the energy and
perseverance which have been displayed on both
sides; but he observes that these pibofs of their
courage have been given at the expense of innu-
merabe calamities and immense bloodshed. To
these accomplishments of the civil conflict is to be
added the apprehension of servile war; which would
be the climax Of SO many rreparable misfortunes.
If these calamties affected America only these suf
ferings OF friendly nation would enough to excite
the anxiety and sympathy of the Emperor; but
Europe has also suffered in one of the principal
branches of her industry, aud her artizans have
been subjected to most cruel trials. France and
the maratime powers have, during the struggle,
maintained the strictest neutrality; but the senti-
ments by which they are animated far from i'm
posing them anything like indifference, seem,
on the contrary, to require that they SHOULD assist
the two beigerent parties in endeavor to escape
from position which appears to have no issue.
The latest accounts do not show any prospect of q
speedy termination of the war.
These circumstances, taken together would seem
to favor the adoption of measures which MIGHT
bring about truce. The Emperor of the French.

REPLY OF RUSSIA.
ST.. PErERsBURGH, Nov. is, Is

ST. PETERsBURGH, Nov. Is, 1862.
The Journal of St. Petersburgh contains the
reply Of Prince Gortschakof to the note of Drouyn
de lHuys, which is in substance as follows:
CATER recalling the constant efforts of Russia
in favor Of Cancellation, Prince Gortschakof says
that 1t is requisite, above all things, to avoid the
appearance OF any pressure whatever capable of
chilling public opinion in America, or of exercis-
ing the susceptibility of that nation. We believe
that combined measure of the three great Pow
ers, however conciatory, if presented in an off,
cial or otheious character, would be the of
arriving at a result opposed to paciGcation. If,
however, France shouo persist in her intention
of mediation, and England should aequiesce in her
course instructions shall be sent to Baron Stoeckl,
at Washington, to lend to both his colleagues
there the French and English Ministers,) if not
official aid, at least moral support"
OPINIONS OF THE ENGLISH PREss.-The
London Morning Herald bitterly denounces the
non-intervention policy of the British govern
ment, and says that the language of Lord John
RussePs despatch ''mocks the hopes and insults
the misery of half million starving English Ia
boring men," The Herald then charges the Cab
met with "abject patience and dastardly submis-
sion in order to retain the Parliamentary support
of the Bright and Golden party"
4 lie l1ohdon Dally news th1nks That LOrd nus
sells answer is the best that could have been
made, without entering unnecessarily upon a dis
cussion of the merits Of the case, and rejoees at
having escaped from entangipg diplomatic asso-
Citations with France.
WHAT A PARIS CORRESPONDENT sAYs.-The
Paris correspondent Of the New York Herald, un-
der date of 1st inst, says:
Intervention is a word now in every ones mouth
on this side the channel The Emperor makes
no secret of his wishes, and said to a general
officer of my acquaintance, only just before he Sci
out for Compeigne, that the time was come when
if the civil zed world had any respect for itself
it must interfere. Indeed, l feel perfectly Ger
tain that overture, if it has not already been
made, will be made to President Lincoln.
| The pressure upon the industrial communities
is such that the Emperor is obliged to choose be-
tween internal commotion and external irritation
and in such choice his dynastic exigencies leave
him a narrow margin.

IA Referring to the fact that druggists in Mem
phis and N. Orleans have been imprisoned and their
property confscated, for sending medicines into
our lines, the Richmond Religious Herald appro-
priately remarks:
"Our enemies prohibited the introduction Of
medicines into the South. Since the Federal &C.
cupation of Memphis and New Orleans drug
gsts in those cities have been subjected to the
confscation of their property and to imprisonment
as feons for the sale of medicines that passed
within our lines. This is an unmanly warfare
against the lives of combatants and non com-
batan is alike-an inhuman effort to make disease
fatal not only to our men in arms, but also to
decripid age, and womanhood and infancy. How
unsightly will it appear on the page of history,
side by side with the magnanmous act of Saladln
the Great! When his mortal foe-the only foe
he ever feared-Rchard the First, fell danger
ousy i'll, during crusade in the Holy Land, this
Sarscen chief sent him the fruit and the SHOW,
without which his disease could not be cured, aad
saved his life! All, we against worse than
Saracen enemy, who plumes himself upon his
eminent Christian principle, but trampes under
foot every dictate of justice and humanity. Shall
we, in any emergency, consent to the iron
yoke which has been forged for US? If he de-
votes US to death means Of subjugation, must
not the subjugaton be worse than deathY'

IMPORTANT PROPOSITION IN THE GEORGIA
LEGIsLATURE.--The Committee of Finance of the
Georgia Legislature, to whom was referred that
portion OF Governor Browns message relating to
the furnishing of clothing for the troops of that
State, Impressed with the importance Of the SUBJ
Ject, have submitted series of resolutions, the
adoption Of which they earnestly recommend
These resolutions au horize the Governor if salts
factory arrangements cannot be made with bhe
propretors otherwise to seize all the factore. and
tanDeries, and manufactured articles in the State
and to appropriate their whole products until a
good pair of shoes and good suit Of clothes are
furnished to every Georgia soldier in service who
needs such assistance; with the provision, however
that he interferes with bona tide contract or
contracts which have been made with the Con-
federate Government or its authorized agents for
any article required for the comfort Of the soldier.
The resolutions also fix scale of prices to be
observed by the Governor for the following arti-
cles, viz
For leather per pound one dollar; for shoes
(such suitable for soldiers) per pair, three
dollars; for each block or bunch of cotton yarn,
Is lbs y two and half dollars; for cotton ozna-
burgs, per yard, twenty FIVE cents; for woollen
jeans two dollars per yard for cotton shifting,
yard wide, twenty cents, and in the same proper
ton for shifting of other widths; for Georgia
cassimeres per yard, two and half dollars; or
such other prices as will afford reasonable profit
upon the prime cost of said articles.
The resolutions further authorize the Governor,
if necessary, to extend the limits of these resou-
tons for and during the year 1868, so as to insure
clothing and shoes for necessitous Georgia troops
for said year.
