Specials to New York Papers.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2O.-Specials are de-
void Of anything OF interest this evening.
The 11i6une's special states that the gov
eminent is about sending out to Europe as
a special agent, Prof. Ruggles,. of New
York, for the purpose of making the people
abroad familiar with the country west OF
the Mississippi, its extent and vast resour-
ces. To this end the General Land Office
has furnished specimens of minerals, ores.
maps and statistics. 1t is believed that
the mission will prove of great benefit to
the developments of the great West.
S. C. Bledsoe, of Richmond, and Thos. j.
Thompson, of this city, arrived in town to-
day, having been captured at Matthias
Point with a rebel mail of about one hun
dred letters. Many were addressed to par
ties in Washington.
The Herald has the following account
furnished by Capt. Luce, of the bark Sun
set, which was captured and burned by
the rebel privateer steamer Florida to the

oners were brought down; most of them
were captured by Imboden's command.
A gentleman from above, who came
down yesterday, says the finest spirit pre-
walls in the army, all expressing their un-
limited confidence in their noble chief.
Lee is in excellent health and fine spirits
The Examiner says, in regard to Lees
army: army movements are at perfect
stand still, on both sides the intense heat
forcing quiet. Fighting was at such dis.
count, that even the cavalry was eniovinp
a season of repose. However, this apathy
is liable to be broken any day, and hostile
cannon again awaken Rappahannock hills
ORANGE COURT House, Aug. ia gen
tleman who has just arrived from Staun,
ton, reports that some 20 odd raiders wer.
brought there yesterday, captured within
Is miles of that place.
Neither of the Richmond papers of Sat
urday refer to the execution of Captain,
Sawyer and Flynn, which was to have Ia
ken place on Friday, the 14th. And it il
probable their execution has been quietl,
postponed. There is not much danger o
its being carried out SO long as Gen. w. II
Lee and Capt. Winder are held as hosta
ges for them.

E0reign News.

CAPE RACE, Aug. 1.-THE steamship
Sidon. from Liverpool Tuesday, 18th, via
Queenstown 18th, passed Cape Race this
afternoon, The Polish question remained
in Statu quo.
The latest news, via Queenstown states
that it is generally asserted that Maxlmll-
ian will accept the Mexican crown.
The Times says the rumor was current
at Chahatm that in consequence of manac-
ing news from America, thegovernment in
tends sending additional troops to British
North America.
The Times says it should not be surprised
if something arose out of the alleged pro-
posal from jeff. Davis to Napoleon for an
offensive and defensive alliance between
Mexico, under French protection and the
Confederate States, which would be quite
consistent with the late French policy
The world might look with favor on such
a contingency, but absolute neutrality,
would be Englands policy.
The Times looks upon the election OF the
Arch Duke Macmillan in Mexico as inn
portant, and says it will have tendency
to union between France and Austria,
and to division between France and Am
erica. Northerners must be lneensed
against Napoleon, and the Federais can
hardly fail to come in collision with the
Emperor.
The Daily News is bitter on the French
policy in Mexico, and does not believe that
the Arch Duke will accept the throne.
The La Pdtrid asserts that the Arch Duke
made his acceptance dependent on the con-
sent of the Emperor of Austria.
The LdkFramce says if he accepts, France
and England will recognize him immedi-
ately, and the other powers will follow.
