Additional Particulars of the Bombard-
ment OF Fort Moultrie

New YORK, September 1--we have re-
ceived some additional particulars by the
Arrange, of Fort Moultrie by General Gill
more and Admiral Dahlsreeu. The firing
had continued all day Tuesday, the 9th inst,
and up to.six O'Clock on, Wednesday, the
9Th, with great fury, and the injuries to
Fort III oultrie were of character to indi-
cate that the reduction of the fortress would
be effected with comparative ease. The
bonn bardment, which began on Tuesday at
daylight, was kept up during the day.
Though the facts are not positively known.
there is no doubt in the minds of persons
who witnessed the explosion of the maya
zine, that even if it were not the main one
OF the fort, the havoc inside was such as to
m aterially lessen its capacity for resistance.
The firing ceased on Tuesday night, except
from the rebel bait cries.
On Wednesday morning the fight was re-
sumed. Two or three of General Gilmors's
batteries, which were in range of Fort
Moultrie, assisted in the cannonading. but
only part of the Monitor feet renewed the
conflict. The Ironsides, which has per-
formed great service throughout, steamed
toward Moultrie, and was firing rapidly
when the Arsgo left. The Injuries to the
walls OF the fort were important. Obser-
vatioEs were made lsto in the afternoon of
w W passengers Or the ATagO,
who were on Morris Island, snd it could be
seen through the hazy atmosphere that the
parapet walls were broken. and two of the
guns had been diSmounted. This fort, it
was fully proven, would bear only a small
amount of canDoDadiDg compared with
Sumter. The reduction will imme diateiy
follow the planting of batteries at Cum
miDgs Point, a work which will seen be- &C
complished.
The firing from all the rebel forts and
batteries, which were in range of Morris Is
land, upon our forces there, and which be-
gan on the morning after the evacuation by
Beauregard's troops, has been severe and
continuous. Our forces do not occupy 10
force the captured reqel Notifications. 1t is

lutte use to General Gilmore in his after
operations. He can use the ground, which
he is already doing in spite of the fire. and.
when the new batteries in progress are COM
pleted, scarcely position in the harbor but
will be commanded by his guns.
While Charleston will be within easy
Smelling distance, the imw edate fall OF the
city is not, however, expected.
A novel mode of removing distractions
has been adopted by Gen. Gilmore name ely,
the employment of rebel prisoners in this
duty. 1t is justly supposed that the rebels
know quite as WELL if not better, how to
handle their own Internal machines than do
the Union men, and their risks may possibly
be less. Our soldiers and sailors are en-
Enthusiastically in favor of the new arrange
ment.

WAsH1NeToN, Setember II, 1853.

WASHINGTON, Setember IL, 1853.
News has been received here that the
special m essenger sent by JEFF Davis, on
the return of Mr. Stephens unsuccessful
mission, bad arrived at Paris, ond had de-
livered his popers to Mr.. Slideil. It is al
so said that on tine reception OF his new in :
structions. this gentleman had private in
terview of one hours duration with the
Emperor Of France, whom he left with the
assurance of having made a great impress
sion upon his mind, and of having vastly
contributed to tho progress of the Confed-
crate cause.
The day following that interview the
semi-cfficial papers, such as La France. La
Patrie, announced that the President of the
Southern ConfedeTacy had made the propo-
sition to the French Government of Of
fensive and defensive alliance. But what
is still more significant is that the same pa
pers did not say whether it bad been accept
ed or rejected. coutent:ng Themselves with
sim ply registering the news, leaving the
public to adopt such conclusions as they
pleased.
A svmtom no less eloquent of the dis
position of the Emperor OF France on that
subject is that since then the Polish ques-
ton which was foremost in the pre-occupa-
ton of the Empire has gradually and quiz
civ Ueeb uToHptuI VI Idtuel OCOu tCn PO'-
iy forgotten, and the American question:
which was only second in importance, has,
all of a sudden. laken large proportions,
and is now occupying the FIST rank.
I do not know whether this is due to- the
m euaces Of the Northern press against
France, or to th fear that, overcome by the
clamor of popular passion. the Federal
Government should make some unpalata-
circumstances TO France concerning the oc-
cupatiop of Mexico; but it is obvious that
the i'm peral Government has given up the
idea of European war, and is now hus-
banding its force for some unseen purpose OF
a more pressing nature, and more grave In

Other circumstances are Indicative OF the
attention the French Government pays to
this country, the aggressive attitude OF
which it seems decided to check whenever
an opportunity is found to do so. For in

MEXICO.

Startling rumors have been received in New
Orleans, via Matalnoras, from the seat Of war
in Mexico. A Mexican paper of Matamoras,
of April 6, states, on the ground of letters
from San Luis Potosi and Monterey, that the
French suffered total defeat on March 81,
and lost 90 pieces of artillery and 5000 men,
that they were unable to continue their opera
TONS and that the Mexican Generals had dis
patched 1000 men to occupy Orizaba. The
same paper also publishes an official report
of Gen. Ortega tho commander Of the troops
at Puebla. officially announcing q repUlse Of

THE SEIZURE OF REBEL SHIPS
IN ENGLAND.

A change in the attitude of the Government
and the privileged classes Of England toward tho
United States seems impending. Their con-
duct is becoming, perhaps not more friendly
yet less defiant; and what an appeal to their
sense Of justice was unable to obtain, they
seem now disposed to grant, with some reluo-
lance, it is true, to commercial considerations
The turning of the tide began with the late
memorable debate in the House Of Commons
on the fitting out of Rebel vessels In England
The result shows that the speeches OF Mr'
Forster and Mr.. Bright, and the comments on
the subject by Liberal papers, like The Dsas
Ne,cs and Star, have had their due influence. Inc

would be exposed if, in the next war In WHICH

snNYING Tie PRORLErI.

A correspondent in the Southwest gives a
sad SUMMARY Of bis observations among the
haf-emancipated slaves Of that region, whose
! first experiences of freedom are made up OF
abuse, cruelty, idleness, restitution, exposure,
disease and death. If they stop to work
where their chains fell On they arc liable TO
be seized and thrust back into Slavery; if
they run, they encounter the inhuman Slave
Laws Of Kentucky, or the not less atrocious
Black Laws Of Illinois and Indiana. Even if
they cOntriye to dodge these, their lot is q
hard one. If they do Mt take at once TO work.
they inevitably suffer, and every one says they
might better have remained slaves; while if
they do accept the rugged, Iepulsiye, ill.paid
toll, which is the best they can get, they are
assailed, beaten, perhaps manned or killed, as
supplanting or underwriting some one else.
Our correspondent concludes: 81 must con-
fess that this question Of Slavery is d nut that
is too bard for me to crack, and | give it up
in despair"
But, friend, God does not require YOU to
crack nuts, but, TO the extent Of your power,
to uphold and advance His justice. Whoever
has dared to breathe the aspiration, "Tby
kingdom come" has expressed a desire that
all wrong shall be righted, all evil extirpated,
all oppression oyerthrown, and has virtually
pledged bis own best exertions to this end.
When you have asked yourself the question,
Is ii just that one man should own anothers
innocent wife and children, with power to
scOurge, abuse aud sell them severaly to the
highest bidder 2" and answered it as every I'M
corrupted soul must, you have settled all the
problem respecting Slavery that much concerns
you. This decided correctly, there will from
day to day arise thousand incidental ques
tions-questions of time and place, degree aud
circumstance-wbereOn the wise and good may
diGer-but these need not be taken to heart.
Faith and patience will dispose of them.
The main Slavery question is solving itself.
The more sagacious and far-seeing shareholders
had sure premonition Of this. Throughout
all the agitations preceding the outbreak OF the
Rebellion, the more extensive and wealthy
among them steadily resisted Disunion as i'll
voying the overthrow of Slavery. Gov. Aiken,
the largest stakeholder in South Carolina, slipped
away to Europe, if We mistake not very early
in Gl, and there remains. At all events, he
has never had word Of cheer for the Rebel
lion. Gov. Hammond, another South Carolina
patriarch, rich, shrewd, and q most intense
deyotee of % the institution," has been omin-
ously silent ever since Lincoln's election. The
negro.traders. the blacklegs, the oVerseers, and
all the parasites OF Slavery, were original aud
