THE WARM MISSISSIPPI.

Psmberton RrtreatimsvCampa, Proba-
bly, Ended-HOvey'. Movements on
Grenada.
CAIRO. Dec 16.-Reports from Gen Grants
army indicate that our forces are brought to a
stand by the muddiness of the roads about ten
miles beyond Grenada.
1tis evident from the tenor Of governmental
dispatches that Gen. Pemberton, being wholly
unable 10 cope with Grant in battle, has
marched in retreat towards Alabama, with a
view of forming junction with the rebel
fore IS in Tennessee. Gen. Grant cannot now
follow him i'll that direction. In this case
Rosrcrans should be- reinforced.
Gen. Hovay's movement upon Grenada was
splendidly executed. but unfortunately the
enemy had retrcatrd to the northeast, and
Hoyry could not cut off his retreat 1t is
rnmored here that the Missssippiis is almost
clear of rel els in force and that Vic&sburg can
be easily taken.
The rebels are acting as if, uncertain of any
success, they would leave the South west to its
inevitable fate, and consolidate their forces for
future operations in the Gulf or cotton States
The campaign so brilliantly begun by Gen.
Grant has failed of giving great results IT
present. II Rosecrans is successful, however,
all Will be we'll.

France abandoned the Idea OF Inter-

WASHINGTON, Dec 12-Official infor-
nation just communicated, warrants the
assertion that the French Government
has no idea of prosecuting any further
their propositions for an armistice or
mediation. No propositions of any kind,
in any form, from any insurrectionary
quarter, have been received by the Presi-
dent or any of his cabinet
No discrimination in regard to the
Press was made or known at the State
Department in regard to the foreign cor
respondence. A remedy will doubtless
be applied to prevent further complaints.
The Navy Department has received a
letter from Lieut.. Commander English,
dated "Coast of Florida" stating that
the boats belonging to his vessel had
captured in Marion river the English
schooners Argus and Ellen, and sent
them to Key West for adjudication.
Much has recently been said about
the invention of First Assistant Engin-
eer Whitaker, for firing guns under wa
ter. A dozen persons have brought sim
liar plans to the attention of the Navy
