more AbOut the RaidIs.

BALTIMORE, June 23.-The following is
taken from the american of this morning !:
A gentleman who left Gettysburg at Z
o'clock yesterday morning, informs us
there is no truth in the telegraphic report
from Harrisburgh of q rebel advance on
that place. The'nearest approach of rebel
cavalry to Gettysburg was the arrival of a
small body of scouts at Monterey, 10 miles
distant, where they stole few horses and
beat rapid retreat, evidently fearful of
capture.
The only force that has crossed the Md.
line beyond Green Castle, has been small
bodies of cavalry scouts after horses and
cattle, of which they have received small
supply.

About O'clock body of cavalry reached

stables for horses, seizing all marked U. 8.

them at $4,000.

The Intercepted Rebel Dispatches.
Movements of French Consuls to Induce
Texas to Secede from the Oonfederacy.
Mr.. Mason dissatisfied with his Retention
in London.

BALTIMORE, Jan. II.
The Washington National Intellieencer of
this morning has been received here. The
lntelllgencer publishes eight columns of inter-
cepted rebel dispatches, being letters of in
structions to Mason and Slidell, and other reb-
ell agents in Europe.
The first is letter from Secretary Benia-
min, dated in September last, exaggerating all
the rebel victories, and summing up the Fed
eral losses in all the battles up to that time at
$4,000 men.
The most important portion of the CORES
pondence relates to movement on the part
OF the French Consuls at Galveston and Rich
mond, supposed to have originated in Paris, to
induce Texas to secede from the Southern
Coniederacy, and establish an independent
government. The result of this discovery
was an order to Magruder to send the Consul
at Galveston to Mexico as soon as possible,
and the Richmond Consul to leave forthwith
The order with regard to the latter, however,
was rescinded.
1t further appears that the reception award
ed by Earl Russell to Mr.. Commissioner Mason
at London, is not such as COMFORTS with the
latters sense Of propriety, or with the expec-
tations of the Confederate authorities at Rich
mond. Mr.. Mason, however, is complimented

at his post, notwithstanding the annoyances
