The Etna from Liverpool l7th Queens

The Presidents Message had been reoeiV.
ed, and was eagerly canvassed, bat had no
effect. No fault was exhibited in the
emancipation scheme.
The Times says that bis message is less a
threat of determination, than q bid for
peace. In another article it says thas The
emancipation scheme is labored substi-
tute for his September ediot, and the dream
of a very weak mind.
The Herald finds the message made up of
platitudes. sbsurdities and Inconsistencies.
The News says that hncoln's emaDcipa-
ton scheme does his humanity credit, but
it has no faith in it.

The Governors Message 6ongratulstes
the Legislature and State upon the fact, that
at last loyal Gene tral Assembly has been
convened, and reviews the condition OF the
State, from the outbreak Of the rebellion,
and says the number Of volunteers from
Missouri, after the casualties Of war, ig
$4,000, including State Militia. He ear
nessly recommends the adoption Of meas
ures for the restoration Of State credit aud
the reduction OF the State debt, consistent
with the good faith towards the holders Of
State Bonds. 0n the subject Of ernancipa-
ton, the Governor says he has long been
convinced that the material interests Of
Missouri would be advanced by the substi-
tuition of free, for slave labor. He recon-
mends law BY which children Of slaves,
born after the passage, shall be free, bat
remain under the care of their owners until
they arrive at certain age. In discussing
this question, the Governor says the Legis-
lsture cannot, ConstitutionaIly, adopt
scheme BY which the owners of slaves can
be divided into different classes, and the
slaves of one class emapclpated with COM
pensation, and those Of ths other class
without.

The Washington Star has. the following
in regard TO the late rebel raid:
AIS O'Clock on Saturday, the spsmy's
cavalry force, with battery, suddenly ap.
peared in front Of Dumfries. They at.
tackled our troops, who had three killed. bu,
were finally driven Of. Information to
this effect having reached headquarters,
troops were pot in motion to eut Of their
retreat, if possible. After being worsted
at DumfFies, the rebels marched directly
for the 0ccOquaD, where they had an en-
gagement with our forces stationed there
to the uumber of 500. Our forces main.
tanned their ground. They next proceeded
up Bull Run, crossing at Wolf Run, thence
to BuIke's Station and Annandale, where
they eneaDped fer the night. At daybreak
on Sunday morning they we're agein in mo-
ton. This time our t oops at Fairfax did
their best to head them off in that direc-
ton, bat they being infantry, they were
unable to dSso. The rebels were last seen
in the vicinity of Lewisbure, where their
number vas estimated at 1000, With four
pieces Of artillery. They were under whip
and spur, ev'dsbsly bent On escaping in the
direction Of Lsesburg. Il seems that all
they got for their trouble vas Is supply
wagons.

The Times, Washington special says
Official information from Mexico reports
the condition of the French army as most
critical. A great number are being threat
ened with sickness for want of wholesome
food. Agents have been sent to this coun
try for supplies of various kinds, and en-
powered to make large contracts for future
use. These facts having reaohed the Mexi.
can Minister here, be has entered a solemn
protest against such supplies being allowed
10 60 forward. Secretary Ssward, how
ever, declines to interfere. Compliant is
made that he even extends to the French
privileges denied t. the Mrxicans. What
ever cause may exist for this, it is certain
that much III feeling has been engendered
in the Mexican Embassy.
The Presidents declarations impress upon
us the fact that he will fully sustain bis at
frmnuons made in his proclamation Of
emancipation.
The HeraId's dispatch says that all our
sick and wounded are being brought from
Falmouth, and that the request for trans
portation is 80 grent that the outside sup
plies cannot be forwarded to the army
Oar troops have already made many wooden
tents and huts, for shelter.
An arrival from Fredericksburg, to day,
oror,s ,bat the rebel soldiers treated the
property of citizens quite as bad az the
Yankees did, and also says that the rebel
leaders are cons antly promising their men
to lead them through Maryland, and 60 into
winter quarters in Philadelphia. From
Richmond. which place our informant left
short time since, We learn that the scarcity
of shoes, and other necessary wearing ap'
narel. is absolutely Incredible.
