! NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Tribune 5
dispatch from the Army of the Potomac,
the battle stated that the enemy knew sew
eral days previously the exact time our
army would cross the Rapidan. On learn
4 ing from trustworthy sources the details of
the engagement of the Sd corps, the whole
aspect Of affairs instead of being disastrous
exhibits success on our part in repulsing
several times the ranks of the enemy, with

hundred in killed and wounded.
| SUNDAY, Nov. 29-l0:15, A. M.-The reb-

across the run, and preparations are ac-
lively being made by Gen. Meade for a
grand assault. The I'd corps moved from

A great battle will probably be fought
Tomorrow. Sunday morning breaks with
cloudy sky and cold raw East wind. Our

over Mile Run, our artillery protec them
now The enemy also constructed consid-
cradle line of earthworks, and have seven

stand matters up to 10l o'clock The 5th
corps, which was in reserve yesterday,
moved out to-day to the front and taken
position, while Gen. Warren is swinging

was thought, bring on general engage
ment on Monday. Yesterday morning

papers came in from the front of General |
Meade's headquarters early this morning.
He left the south side of the Rapidan yes
terday morning, and no serious fighting
had occurred up to that hour. 1t was not
believed that Meade would attack Lee be-
fore to-day, and it was considered probable
that no battle would be fought, asthe army
only carried rations fer very brief cam
paign. 1t will have to fight soon, or fall
back for fresh supplies. It is possible that
when Meade has finished the work he has
he will fall back upon Fred
although nothing is known up
on that point. At five O'clock this D. m. the
Government had received nothing from
the Rapidan, and in official circles this fact
is accepted as rather favorable than to the

From New York.

new YORK, Dec. 3.-The falling back of
Meade's army had marked effect upon
stocks to-day, and there was decided i'm
preston that this new move of the Poto-
mac Army puts an entire new aspect upon
the military situation and is interpreted at
the Stock Exchange as a prolongation of
the war. The Western roads were not so
favorable as the Eastern, the greatest rise
being on Erie, which jumped per ct. over
closing rates Of last evening. The Western
was generally equal to 2@3 per cent. I'LL
nois Central was one of the strongest
shares on the list. The earnings of the
Erie road for November was over q million

N2rrERs or MARQuR.-Congress has passed
tho Bill authorizing the President TO issue let
tiers q Sn4rque. By this measure Mr.. Lincoln
will haveNP0wer to cause the ocean to swarm
with our ''miIitia of the seas" in the event of a
foreign war. Let the Powers Of Western Eu-
rope beware, therefore, of driving us to the wall
by any hostile demonstrations ON their part.
England does not yet forget what our privateers
and letters of marque inflicted upon her com
merce in the war Of lsl2-i4. The damage
then done was but bagatelle compared with
what we could now inact
Nor let the European Powers blame tho
United States government for adopting this
prscaution before the adjournment OF Congress.
The American republic is not guided by the
policy Of European Powers 1t is not bound
by the declaration of the Congress of Paris, for
the simple reason that it did not agree to it.
AT the time, Mr.. Marcy, on the part OF the
United States. offered to agree to the PROPOSE
ton to abolish privateering If the European
Powers would agree to abolish all cap
lures on the sea of private property, ex-
cept contraband Of war--thus extending

times exemptng private property from cap
ture on the land. England and France OBJ
jected, particularly England, by whose iafu-
ence the offer was rejected, :
Again. since our civil war began Mr.. Seward
proposed to England and France to adopt the
proposition in the declaration of Paris to abolish
privateering, provided they would agree to treat
it as piracy all over the world, like the African
slave trade. But, though no nation could be
aggrieved by the establishment of this rule, and
although all the minor Powers of Europe had
agreed to the proposition of the Paris Confer
snce-sven those in the interior, who had not
single ship on the sea-yet the Western Powers
refused the overture of the American govern
ment, on the ground that it was then too late.
Neither Power, therefore, will have any right to
complain that our government now falls back on
its rights in its own defence. The bill is not
threat; but it is security that Europe will
keep the peace to u.s. and we may congratu-
late ourselves that the offers of our two Score
taries of State were not accepted by the great
Powers Of Europe.

THE GAYErrEs IN PARIs-It is a remarkable
fact in the history OF the capital Of capitals that
it is never SO gay as just before the occurrence
Of some horrible, bloody revolution. At the
present time the extravagant fetes and traves-
ties masked balls. private theatrlcals and con
certs given by the Empress of the French and
her court are astounding the world by their
unheard Of splendor and expense. While all
this Is going on in Paris, in the provinces the
people are starving. The poor of Paris are
already grumbling at the extravagancies Of the
court; and when thoy begin to find fault they
are near TO striking blows. Who can tell how
soon the gay reveller. in the palaces of Paris
will be fugitives in foreign land How many
OF those beautiful fair heads, now so constantly
deckcd with jewels, may not be placed under
the keen trenchant OF the guillotine by an infu-
rated, bloodthirsty mob! France is only saved
at this very moment from the horrors Of q revo-
luton by the firm will of one man. Let his
grasp upon power be rudely shaken Cd, and woe
would betide the gay jewellers we have re-
ferred to.
Here spirit Of extravaganza seems also lot
loose. We crowd our places of amusement,
we dance and mask with all the rest OF dis
turbed. fevered minds, seeking for change Of
thought, for relief from anxiety Are we dane.
