FROM EUROPE.

A New Feature in the Capture of the
FIorida-fmportant Developments Prob
abie-Great Speech by Mr.. Cobden-Man-
ifesto of the Rebel Commissioners.
NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-By the European
steamer at this port we have the folio wing sum
mary OF interesting news:
The political news is unimportant. The
Daily News, in an editorial on the proposed
arming of slaves doubts If II will be done. It
is stated that, the Florida. on her seizure at
Bahia, was taken entirely by surprise, every
thing on board was secured by her captors, and
among the papers was much important infor-
mation, which,tt is said, may implicats some
foreign officials OF high rank in active synpa-
thy with and in favor OF the rebels.
Mr.. Golden addressed great meeting OF his
constituents at RochGale, on the 23d, ult., at
great length, his leading theme being non in
He adverted to the war in America, and asked
why the South, as in other cases of rebellion,
had not put forth list Of Its grievances.
The reason, he thought, was that they had
but one, aid wanted to consolidate, perpetu-
ate, and extend slavery. Instead Of stating
their grievances. they. simply ask to be let
alone. It Is this cry that has secured SO much
European sympathy for the insurreetion.
l He regarded the peaceful Presidential elec-
ton as one of the most sublime spectacles In
the whole history OF the world. He said the
people that could do that had given to the
world a spectacle such as was yer pres ented
before by any other people. They had re-
that slavery should be abolished. They reiter-
ated their belief with far greater emphasis than
before.
He said he did not believe he should live to
see two independent States on the continent of
North America. He considered that the geo.
graphical difficulties in the way OF separa-
ton were insuperable. He took leave or the
American subject by deprecating the ig
norance which prevailed in England in regard
to the geography, resources, &c, of the coun-
try. and by declaring that he would have moth
ing done TO carry out his opinions, but was
simply desirous, by his observations, to trim
the scales, SO as to prevent undue preponder-
ance in favor Of the other side.
The London Index publishes a copy OF
note dated November IL, signed by Siidell,
Mason, and Mann, addressed to Drouyn de
Ihuys, formally presenting to the French
Government manifesto adopted by the rebel
Congress at the last session. The com mis-
sioners invite his attention to this manifesto,
the terms Of which they briefly recapitnlate,
and add that since it was issued the war has
continued to be waged by the North with even
increased fer0city, more signal disregard OF
all rules Of civil warfare, and more wanton
violation Of the obligations OF international
law.
The Identical note was presented to all the
Cabinets Of Europe, Constanstinople excepted

Some Details of Late Moveme ents-Another
Successful Reconnaissance - Enemy's
Works Carried - Our Troops Occupy
Them-Unton Casualties Small.
Correspondence Associated Press.]
HEADQUARTERS ARMY POTOMAC, Dec. o.
p. m.-Another reconnaissance was mBde this
morning along the Vaughn road, toward Hatch
er Run, over the same route the cavalry went
yesterday. The force consisted of detachments
from several regiments OF eavairy' unasr , Uol
brigades OF the LIST division OF the I'd corps, un-
der Gen. Miles.
The videttes OF the enemy were driven across
the run, when a sharp fire was opened on the
advance from line OF breastworks on the op-
posite side.
After some skirmishing to discover the en-.
emy's strength, charge was made across the
run, and the works carried by assault, but not
till the rebels had made good their retreat up
the south side.
Our men took position In the entrenchments
taken, while skirmishers were thrown out on
both TANKS.
Soon after a report came in that the enemy
were moving up and across the run; half q mile
west OF the road our troops were on, eyincing
an intention to attack the right flank. Gen'l
Miles at once disposed his command to receive
them if they should attemp1 1t. He also sent
back for reinforcements, which were given him
at once; but the enemy did not make their ap-
pearance during the afternoon, and it is believed
they fell back to a stronger position at Arm.
stropg's Mills, mile and q halt west. The
impression is that they had no large force in the
vicinity, otherwise a more stubborn resistance
to our advance would have been made. Our
loss in the charge was IL men wounded. Among
them was Lieut.. Ward, OF the Sd Pennsylvania
cavalry.
The loss OF the enemyis not known. II they
had any, they carried them on, for none fell
into our hands.
Later in the afternoon reports came that the
enemy were moving towards the left in heavy
force. Arrangements were made to meet tn m,
but up to this hour tmidpight) they have not
appeared.
In my dispatch a few Gays ago, giving a list
of promotions by brevet, included the name
OF Gen. Meade as heing made brevet Major
General. This was incorrect He was made
full major general in the regular army, TO date
from August Is, 1851. to rank next 70 General
Sherman. This promotion was conferred at
