WASHINGTON. Nav /

Washington, May |.
The National Republican of this after
noon, publishes some official dispatches
from Gen. Banks, dated near st. Martins
vile, April 18th, from which it appears
that when he left Baton Rouge, three reg
iments of colored troops remained for its
defence.
The results among others, of General
Banks expeditions are, accomplishing a
march of over 800 miles, beating the enc
my in three battles, two on land and one
on Grand Lake, dispensing the rebel
army, utterly destroying the rebel navy,
capturing the foundries of the enemy at
Franklin and New Iberia, and demolish-
ing the salt works ten miles southwest
of the latter place, capturing the camp
equipage of the enemy, also several guns,
and between 1000 and 1000 prisoners,
and so deranging the plans of the rebels
that they cannot for some months, if ever,
reorganize his land or naval forces in that
part of Louisiana.
Other successes Of Gen. Banks, already
known to the public, are mentioned.
Our loss in the two land battles was
about GOO or 700.
Nothing could exceed the conduct of the
officers and privates in Banks command.
The dispatches say we have not only
destroyed the army and navy of the enc
my and captured his materials for reor-
ganization of his forces but we have in
our possession his ablest officers of the sea
and land.

The Tribune is out with an extra this
morning which says: " Our news by mail
from the Rappahannock is up to Sunday
morning. At that time our left wing was
in possession of Fredericksburg, and the
first line of redoubts on the hill behind it.
and was feeling Its way to the second line.
The river was crossed, and the redoubts
carried with great ease and with very
slight loss of life.
The rebels had marched away in the
direction of Charlottesville, ten miles
above Fredericksburg, to attack our right
wing there posted, leaving at first only
10000 men, and subsequently, not more
than 5000 to 200 in their works, as was
ascertained by reconnaissance from loves
balloon.
A great portion of our Falmouth bate
ries were engaged on Sunday, from the
rebel batteries firing across the river and
city.
The firing both of musketry and can
nonading on the right, in the direction of
Charlottesville, was very heavy. The en-
envy had been forced to fight on ground of
General Hookers choosing, as he promised
his soldiers in the general order published
this morning should be the case.
1t was believed in both wings that Gen.
Stoneman's expedition to cut the railroads
between the rebels and Richmond had
proved successful, thus cutting off the on
ly path of retreat.
So confident was Gen. Hooker at Fal-
mouth of success, that in conformity with
his orders force had already commenced
to rebuild bridge over the Rappahannock
The troops are in the finest spirits and
everything looks propitious.

capture of the Plaza and Cathedral, but
the city was still commanded by Forts

One third of Puebla is claimed by the
French to be in their possession, as the re-
suit of thirteen days fighting.

and her recognized organs has made
clear that she did not wish to stop U
sailing of these pirates, but only TO excE
her failure to do it, and SO allow the wros
to be committed while evading the respg

perhdy of the British government, Wild

their rear assailed twice, and suffering Sc
