SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.
Steamers st. Louis and Moses Taylor have
arrived from Panama bringing dates from the
City OF Mexico, via Acapulco, up to Oct. 81.
The French were preparing for an expedition
towards Queretero.
Gen. Forey left Mexico for Vera Cruz Oct.
4th, having turned over his command to Gen.
Basscain, who appears to be much more popu-
lar.
An agent OF the rebels arrived at Mexico on
the 9th of Oct, via Brownsville, with instruc-
tons, it was supposed, to make treaty with
the regency of Mexico.
1t was reported that Juarez had recognized
the liberal army and was marching towards
Queretero to meet the French, and conflict
was expected shortly.
Minister Corwn so far, had taken no active
part in the Mexican troubles.

Portland Young Mems Christian Association
was held last evening. The hall was well
filled, and the exercises exceedingly interest

charming manner and speeches were made by

supper was in waiting below, to which ample
justice was done, and all returned to their

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.
The Richmond papers Of the 9th contain
the following:
Jeh. Davis arrived at Wilmington, n c., on
the 9TH and was welcomed by a speech at the
depot In reply he dwelt upon the Importance
OF the harbor of Wilmington, the only one
still open for trade, and said he would do all
that could be done for its defence. He exhort-
ed all to do their duty. and predicted future
OF indie endence, liberty and prosperity.
The Wing says the reported movement of a
very large portion of Meade's army down
the Rappahanuock turns out to be correct and
reliable. We have direct information that
the Yankees appeared in force opposite Fred
ericksburg on Wednesday afternoon about four
o'clock. A dispatch from the same source
received last night. states that they had disap-
peared from Stafford, but in what direction
was not known.

% We are gratiled to notice among the
appointments OF recruiting officers the name
OF Alexander Bell. Mr.. Bell went out in the
LIST Maine regiment, and subsequently proved
himself valuable man in recruiting for other
regiments. He will have one of the offices
that.are in process of erection in front of the
Post Office, and Capt. George II. Caldwell,
also of the LIST Maine, will be associated with
him.

NEW YORK. Nov. 8.
The Washington correspondent of the Com
mercial says, whether the enemy will give
battle on the south bank of the river must be
decided either to-day or Tomorrow. If so, it
will no doubt be an extensive engagement.
Everything is propitious. The army is in
good spirits at the resumption of an active
campaign, while the weather is all that could
be desired. 1t would hardly be proper to state
the destination of the army, for it may be
doubted il the rebels2yet divine it. Some say
we are going over the old route via Culpepper
again, while others point to a transfer of the
situation to point much nearer Richmond.
Gen. Meade alone knows the place of the new
campaign. Enough is know to warrant the
remark that the campaign just opening is full
of brilliant CONCENTRATIONS that must lead to
grand results.
