The Washington Star says
There nothing known to justify the current story

There is probability in tho account saying that

while he also tarres at Winchester with 1000 men,
such being the tenor the accounts coming TO
Washington since our last issue.
In truth, up 70 two O'Clock this afternoon we have
been able learn nothing usying the change OF impres
sion we lately published that Lees main object in coming
north was attack Washington If he can induce Hooker
to scatter his army, aud that he is now trying to
accomplish that object, while at the same time
supplying his forces from Maryland and Pennsylvania

A New PHASE OF THE GREEK QuEsrIoN-The
Marquis de Mortemart member Of the French
Chambers, well known as warm advocate of
the Emperor's policy, has made q proposal to
the Corps Legislatif which may greatly change
the aspect Of the Greek question M. de Nor
temart proposes that France should demand
from Greece instant repayment of the sums she
owe. to France, and that in case of non-com-
pliance, which the Marquis anticipates, Napo-
leon should exact from the Greeks territorial
guarantee. The honesty Of this proposal. TO
say nothing Of its generous character, needs
no comment. We deem 1t on q par with the
actions Of France in Mexico, and should not be
surprised TO see Napoleon acting upon the sug-
gestion, az Greece is now In trouble and, also,
as most likely II cmanated from him originally.
England will be the obstacle in the accom-.
plishment Of this pleasant little scheme. and
as she gave up the throne Of Greece TO avoid

SPECTATORS IN THE GLORY OK SHAME or
THEIR CoUNrRY.-The Wall street gamblers
speculate not in gold, but in the glory and
shame OF their country. The gold quotations
are only indications of these hidden specua-
tions-the barometers Of Wall street patriot
ism. The gold gamblers assure themselves
and each other that we are going to have victo-
ries, and gold goes down. The next day ru-
mors of defeat and disaster are rife on the street.
having been set afoat to "bull the market,
and gold goes up. If every broker in Wall
street were hopeful, earnest patriot, there
would be no premium on gold, because no one
would dread and predict the ruin Of the nation.
These Wall street spectators remind US of
party Of heartless, avaricious fellows sitting at
the bedside of their sick father and laying heavy
wagers with each other in regard to how long
the old man will live, how many more bresths
he will draw, how many times more his pulse
will beat, and whether this, that or the other
medicine will do him any good, by way Of
amusing themselves while they wait for the
death, the will and the property When old
Uncle Sam recovers-as he must, by and by
how these Wall street gamblers will suffer, no
matter which Of them wins or loses at their
present little game.

TIE DEBATE IN THE FRENCH CHAMBERS ABOUT
THE MEXICAN ExPEDrrIoN.--M. Jules Favre and
his eight opposition compeers bid fair to give
the Emperor Napoleon great trouble during the
present legislative session in France Mexico
is their great gun, and they have already fred
one shot from It with immense effect. They
have moved that the soldiers of France be sent
on no such dangerous foreign expedition, and
assert that the whole affair is to the last degree
Unpopular in France. Now this is strictly true,
as both the army and the people look with dis
trust upon the Mexican war. which brings no
credit to the arms Of France, but which, by dis
ease alone, frightfully swells the list OF deaths.
Here NJ Favrs and his adherents, the copper
heads Of France, have the Emperor Napoleon
at great disadvantage to his cause and they
will ring the changes upon the subject, as they
are well aware that their speeches, which must
be reported in full, will immensely agitate the
people and lessen the power and influence Of
the Emperor. These debates may have a
serious effect upon the external policy OF
Napoleon. We shall await their results with
| great interest
