In one Of the dispatches of Mr.. Motley, our
Minister at the Court Of Vienna, is the follow

principal journal Of the Austrian Empire rela.
tive to the qualities displayed by Gen. McClel-
Ian In oiiecting his retreat from the Chicka.
hominy Swamps to the James river after the
unfortunate repulse Of his right wing. Mr..
Motley, in his dispatch to Mr. Seward, says:

Journal of this empire, In which the Of our

Mr.. HALE said the committee had stricken out
the name OF J. l.. LardneT-not from nything de-
