Important Foreign News.

Now York, JAN 6-The Tribune says
editorially that a letter from q well in
formed source at Paris, received by the
Asia, states that few days before the let
ter was written, tie Minister Of Foreign
Affairs, Drouyn de L'Huys, visited the
Emperor and advised him that n modifi-
cation of the policy of the Empire was
required by tue public voice; that he was
so far committed to the present policy that
he could not change, and he therefore ten
dered his resignation, recommending La
yedette as his successor. That the mod
ihcaiions needed were in the first place
greater liberty IN regard to Italy. Second
ly, the withdrawal OF the French army
from Mexico and treaty with that power,
and thirdly, the joining in note to be
signed also by England and Russia, to the
Confederate authorities, taking the ground
that as the rebellion had now continued
nearly two years without success, that the
interests of humanity and civilization re-
CURED them to lay down their arms.
The writer adds, that after opposing
these propositions, the Emperor upon fur
Their consideration, took more favorable
view of the policy indicated.

On the 30th ult. our special Cincinnati

Grangers army was to leave on the Goth,
their destination being contraband, but
! tn at important results were looked for
Thas Expedition consisted of three col
umns, composing o large force They
STATED over the mountains through Cum
berland Gap, to make raid on Knoxville,
and destroy important bridges and tres.
ties
A private nots from a spondent
with that exhibition stated that they were
at London, Ky, on the 25sh, en- route fer
Cumberland Gap and Knoxville. The
map we give will show the route taken by
this force whose brilliant achievement is
are spoken of in our Washington dis
patches. This news Is fully con firmed by
news from rebel sources
| The Lynchburg Republican Of Thurs
| day, January |, states that body of s.
900 Union cavalry, composed of one Pen
sylvania regiment, and others unknown,
! had destroyed nine miles OF the East Ten
nessee and Virginia railroad, burning the
important bridges over the Holston and
| Watauga Rivers, and capturing go rebel
cavalry who were guarding the former
The Repu6lic says it will take several
weeks to repare the damages, at a time
when the road is taxed to its utmost ca
pacity. 1t characterizes the Yankee raid
of nearly 100 miles as ono of unexpected
daring and audacity.

with you or apart, ever cherish it as the
