Important RumOr---War with
France.

New YORK, Feb. 2.-The Worlds special
from Washington LIST says: 1t is rumored
in high official circles that we are upon
the eve of war with France. Mr.. Seward
is said to have pursued a course toward the
French Government concerning the Flori-
da, Rappahannock, and rams known to be
building in France for the rebels, as to elic-
1t a reply from the French Foreign Minis
ter, in accordance with which the United
States must either abandon its pretensions
or to go to war to maintain them. Mr.. Ev-
erals was, it is stated, instructed to demand
of France the surrender of the belliger-
ents rights accored to rebels and it is GER
tain there is some serious difficulty
with the French Cabinet which alarms all
but Mr.. Seward. He, in view of the almost
certainty of war in Europe, takes the high
est possible ground toward France. [This
may be taken for what it is worth.-RE-
PoRTER.]

Headquarters ARMY OF NORTHERN Va,

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF NORTHERN Wat
January 22.
General Orders No. Z.
The Commanding General considers it
due to the army to state that the temporary
reduction of rations has been caused by
circumstances beyond the control of those
charged with its support. Its welfare and
comfort are objects Of his constant and
earnest solicitude, and no effort has been
spared to provide for its wants. 1t is hoped
exertions now being made will render the
necessity but of short duration, but the his
tory of the army has shown that the coun-
try can require no sacrifice too great for its
patriotic devotion. ln.t
Soldiers, you tread with no unequal sters
the road by which your fathers marched
through suffering, privation and blood to
independence. Continue to emulate in the
future as you have in the past their valor
in arms. their patient endurance of hard
ships, their high resolve to be free, which no
trial could shake, no bribe seduce, no dan
ger appal; and be assured that the Just God
who crowned their efforts with success will
in his own good time send down his bless
ings upon you. INNS

begun to lcve him, but she was more NOR
tilted than grived. Her golden dreams had
all vanished, aud she thought herself the
most ill-used of mortals. Above all what
would Alf say when he ascertaiued the
state of affairs, as be certainly would; for
she had not been able to keep a secret from
him for years, he wonld tease it from her
despite her resolutions to the contrary.

how grave. and sorrowful Fanny, was, al
though she took great pains to conceal it,
he forebore teazing her for a while. But
when at last by few adroit questions, b g
drew the whole matter from her; his m irth
was ~unbounded. After torn enting her to

little sport atFanny's expense, persocated
the Doctor in his various visits. For that
purpose he spent his time iu an adjoining
town so that he could easily come and see
her evenings. He was really sorry that he
had carried the joke So far, but it had
been capital fun. He begged a thousand
pardons, and then concluded by offering to
