Gently visited by British, French, Spanish Por.
tnguese and Brazilian war vessels; but never
have we had, in time of peace, 50 large
squadron of foreign men-ofwar in our harbor
as we shall have when all these Russian vessels
rendezvous here, and perhaps never did our
people feel so warm friendship for such vsi-
taDts as they now feel for the naval representa-.
tives OF the Emperor of Russia.
This unusual gathering of Russian vessels in
our waters will doubtless be regarded in Europe
as an incident having more or less political
Significance, particularly when coupled with
our not very friendly relations with England
and France, and with the rumors OF an alliance
between Russia and the United States II may
possibly be capable of such an Interpretation,
or, on the contrary, il may be nothing more than
such an experimental trip as the English Chan.
mel squadron sometimes INDUCES in. What
ever be its significance, whether of war OF
peace, our citizens will have no words for our
Russian visitors but those Of friendly welcome.
How Nor TO DO Ir.-By our late European
news we receive intelligence that the rebel
steamer Florida has been "provisionally
seized" in q French port, at the suit of French
shipowner, who claims very heavy damages.
because the Florida had stopped one of his YES.
sells at sea. The great and slippery Slidell had
hurried away from the pleasures Of Paris to
arrange this important matter, and public in.
terest was in its usual exquisite attitude-ou
tiptoe. All this looks very nice in she papers,
and if Brother Jonathan is not delighted and
does not turn two or three double summersauita
to think that the French courts have got hold
of one Of the pirates, what brute he must be.
But then 1t is said very positively that the
decision Of the courts will be in favor Of the
Florida Even in the present montha French
tribunal has decided that one of tho rebel
vessels is not pirate. They are all alike, and,
If national vessels, they cannot be subject to
such suits as the above. So what becomes OF
the great case of the French shipowner rersus
the Florida? Only that the Florida is detained
for seven or eight days, until a decision is bad.
And what harm does the detention do the
Florida AS for the barn, it Is difficult to see
it. French neutrality would only permit the
Florida to remain one day in French port.
Now, If ship is in dock for repairs, and has
TO be repaired much and reltted generally, and
victualled and got ready for voyage in all
the various ways, twenty-four hours is but
very short time. Moreover, If she wants to
send part of her crew and some officers to Eng
land to take charge of recently purchased rams,
.Ec and to ship some hardy fellows in place OF
these detachments, then twenty -four hours is
especially short time. So to the one day that
neutrality gives the courts add good halt
dozen or more by the nice little arrangement
described above. The Florida has plenty OF
time, and all goes well. This is another of the

exceed i've thousand men. This Is a most
extraordinary disproportion of generals to the
rank and file. There is not such another case
on record How are we to account for IT.
Only In this way: that the private soldiers Of
the rebellion have lost all confidence in their
sinking cause; that they have discovered the
cheat. and are sick and tired OF sacrificing their
lives Tor nothing; that, consequently, their
officers, including their generals, found it ne
cessary in these late engagements to 90 first, in
order to bring their men up to the work. This
is the secret OF Bragg's unparalleled loss Of
generals
Failing to renew his assaults after the con-
centration Of the Union army-making no effort
to dslodge or to provoke II to battle on Tues
day or Wednesday-we cannot believe that he
is In condition to risk the experiment, or that
Rosecrans is in danger Of another assault We
expect that our next intelligence concerning
Bragg will be that he has withdrawn from the
field to defensive position, in anticipation of
an attack from the reinforced and reinv;gorated
army Of lis stubborn and determined adyer
sary.
Resting upon the assurance from the govern
ment that every possible contingency in regard
to the army has been amply provided for. and
that its irrepressible commander, with the
coming in of Burnside's column from the
north, and other detachments from the west
ward, Is by this time strong enough to reas-
sumo the offensive, we turn to the inquiry:
What about the Army of the Potomac. The
troops called off to New York have returned,
and VIC are glad to hear that the army is
in motion. The returns of the late battles
show that Longstreet's corps, or considerable
portion of it, and D. II. Hills corps, of Lees
army, are in Georgia. This latter corps was
left behind to guard his communications with
Richmond when Lee advanced to Pennsylvania
last June; but Longstreet's constituted nearly
half his army. Let General Meade, then adj
vance. The opportunity and the season invite
him forward Ten days delay may result in
bringing back ten thousand men from the army
Of Bragg, and twenty days may strengthen
Lee to the extent of thirty thousand men,
Now, therefore, is the time for decisive on
ward movement by the Army Of the Potomac.
Now we may freely cry Coward to Rich
mond"

DETENTION or REBEl. RAMS AND THE FEELING
AT WAsHINGToN.-It is announced In our Wash

this fact has produced a kindly feeling to-
wards Great Britain on the part Of our govern

The British government, ever since the com.
mencement OF the war, or as long as there was
any doubt about the issue On this continent,
have sympathized with the South They have
clandesiinely sent the rebels all the supplies
and munitions of war within their power. En-
field rifles, Blakeley guns and other improved
implements Of warfare have been forwarded
without number. Fioridas, Alabamas and
other piratical craft have been let loose to de-
stroy our commerce. All this was continued

We have now shown to the world that our

rebels, and proven by the effect OF our guns on
the walls of Fort Sumter that we have the most
powerful ordnance in the world, and have reach
cd that perfection that even England IL unpre-
pared to compete with us. And now England

Having done u. all the mischief within her
power, she now takes the back track, and de-

friendship, we are informed that IL has pro.
