Nr. Fiake, Of lie firm Of Jor,'4 20, Marsh,
& Co., then presented him with cssket Of
shell iula;! with mother Of pearl, and fin
ished with gold, containing list of the
subscribers to the sword, and also the
names Of the firms who closed their stores
on the day of the public reception to Gen.
erai Mcclellan. Upon the top Of the cas-
ke,, inscribed in pearl, were the words:
TO Major General Mcclellan, from his
Boston friends, Feb, 1868"
Tie sword is probably the finest that
has ever before been made In the country.
The handle represents mass Of laurel
leaves, girt round with three rows Of fine
pearls. The guard is in the shape Of
shell, richly chased and raised. From tho
guard bunch Of laurel starts, which il
set with pearls and unites it TO the top
The latter is surnoun,ed by large dis-
mond of frs water weighing three carats,
and valued at $500. The scabhard is very
| IN assive, and has three richly chased tips.
The upper one represents two recording
angels with the scroll of fame The cen
ter has cherbus with wreath Of flowers,
American shield, munitions OF war, DC,
&c. The lower tip represents the God
dess Of Liberty. All these mountings
are in high relief, richly chased, and are
very artistic. The blade is very fine, and
is etched with gold. 1t is Of SO nice
temper that it can be sprung from point
to hilt. Accompanying the sword is an
elegant major generals sash and 3 rich
embroidered belt. II was made by Messrs.
Palmers and Bachelors, 1862 Washing
ton street, from design submitted BY
them to the committee, and does them
great credit. The general has consented
to have it exhibited for e few DAYS. and it
may now be seen at their store. The
sword bears the following inscription:
TO MAJ.-GEN. GEO. B. MCCLELLAN.

that Poland should receive an administration

presentation endowed with sufficient powers to

The Austrian project is said to bavc been
adopted by the cabinets of London and Paris,
with the reserve of few additions and modi'
fcations. The three courts were to request
the cabinet of st. Petersburg to make known
its intentions at an early date. The most i'm
portant point in these new diplomatic notes is
that tho three Powers speak significantly of the
necessity to secure as soon as possible the Co.'S
saton of this bloody struggle. This news Is
looked upon in Europe a. highly favorable to
the hopes of the Poles.

A large portion Of our paper TINS morning ia
given up to matters concerning the In7asion Of
Pennsylvania. There is really very little news
that can be depended upon, but world Of
rumors and surmises. IS near as we c,n
exaggerated; the Rebels do no. appear 10
have gone beyond Chambersburg, and
there is absolutely nothing about their
doiDgs there, or about the other two powerful
columns that were Oh Monday sad to be push
ing toward Mercersburg and Gettysburg.
There was a story OF the taking Of Carlisle,
but the latest dispatches show it to be erro-
neous. Indeed, upon review Of the field,
it is difficult to say with certainty what
damage the Rebels lave done, or what
places they have taken; at any rate, We
get not even iI,mor of the widespread de-
ya,tation by fire and sword that soeIned "a
imminent according TO the reports Of Monday.
Should the enemy delay their expected raid
upon Harrisburg another day, the city will
probably be in q good state of defense,
There 10 comnendsble alacrity in New-York
City and State in pushing forward men, and
a dozen or more OF regiments are nearly
ready-some will go to-day from this city.
As to uoOker'a movements, We can only ray
that lie is well placed between Lee aud Wash
ington, and ready to attack or defend as the
case may bc. Lees main force is supposed
TO be on the westerly aide of Bull Run
Mountains, somewhere about White Plains,
or Front Royal. II is thought at Washington
that the Rebel force in Pennsylvania is much
.maller than the dispatches represent. The
scare of Monday is considerably modified.

The effect M this electoral contest upon the
political affairs Of France can hardly fail to be
considerable. II has always been assumed that
no other capital OF the world exercises 40 con-
trolling an influence over the public opinion
of the empire as Poris. If it is still true that
Paris IL France, the defeat of the Government
will produce in the provinces grave conse
quences for the future. Moreover, the discus
sions in the Legislative Body are likely to pro-
duce an effect which it will be difficult for the
Government TO couDteract, unless 1t lnvenfs
new schemes for sitting liberty. In the late
