ArriyaI OF fl,e Europa.

HALIFAX, July 19.-The steamer Europa
from Liverpool July 9th, and Queenstown
on the 10th, arrived here this evening. Hel
advices are two days later. The debates IN
the British Parliament had resulted i'm a ma
Jority of slxty-eight for the Government in
the mouse OF Commons, and in majority OF
nine against the Government in the House OF
Lords. The Dano-German news is impor-
tant. ' 3D.
LIVERPOOL, July 9-The steamer Yeddo,
built at Bordeaux, it was supposed for the
Confederates, has been sold to Prussia, and
is now fitting for service at Brimer Haven.
The Great Eastern left here to-day for
London. to take on the Atlantic cable.
The London journals are filed with the
proceedings of Parliament in the great
party contest, to the exclusion of nearly
everything else. The Times publishes
nearly forty-two columns of last nights
proceedings. The result is generally re-
garded as satisfactory Endorsement of the
ministerial policy, but no triumph.
The Confederate loan, under the Persia's 8
news, advanced to 69@7O.
LONDON, June 10.-The Danish Minister
has resigned.
Nothing was seen of the Florida or any
other rebel cruiser. There is considerable
mystery about the steamer Yeddo, which
left Bordeaux on the 22d of June, nominally
for Amsterdam. Her arrival at the latter
port is not reported, ard nothing certain is
known of her whereabouts. The Opinion
Ndttondle asserts that she will soon reappear
fully armed and manned, with the Confed-
crate flag flying. 1t is stated Semmes Is too
i'll to take command of her.

Still i'm Pursuit of the Enemy.
ITrihnnotr G.,aasal


WASHINGTON, July 1S.-At seven o'clock
last evening our forces were seven miles be-
yond Leesburg, in pursuit of the rebels,
who were making rapid time up the Shen-
andOah valley toward Staunton. A num-
Der OF stragglers were captured by our cav
airy and sent to the rear. 1t is believed
Gen. Evans, who was severely wounded in
the recent fight before Washington, was
lying very low in the vicinity of Leesburg
concealed by sympathizers. Heavy firing
was heard yesterday at Great Falls in the
direction of Edwards Ferry, supposed to
have been collision between our advance
and the rebel rear.
On Saturday the enemy's pickets were
posted along Grove Creek, about twenty
two miles above Chain bridge, twenty five
miles from Washington, and about half way
from Drainsville and Leesburg. The rebels
were in strong force.
Rebel cavalry scouts in considerable
bers came into Sangley last night three
miles beyond chain bridge, found our pick
cts and cleared out with their knowledge
quickened by musket balls
A Provisional Brigade, organized for the
defense Of Washington, and composed of the
slightly wounded men from various hospi-
tails, has been disbanded. Most of the men
were to-day sent to their regiments in the
field.
The rebel loss in killed, wounded and
prisoners, in their demonstration on WASH
ington, will be over 1000. The prisoners
represent sixty-three different regiments,
and bolong to five differont divisions

From Memphis and Below.

MEMPHIS, July 17.-Vicksburg advices of
the 18th report all quiet The expedition
under Gen. Slocum, reinforced by cavalry
sent by Gen. Washburn, was marching
again for the interior of Mississippi.
The latest accounts from Gen. Smith place
him near Pontotoc.
On the 10th Forrest issued a call for all
citizens between the ages of Is and 65 to
rally to his support, and old men and boys
to come to take care of his horses while his
men engaged the enemy.
The report published in Northern papers
that Forrest had communicated his inten-
tiOn of retaliation on our officers for any
citizens who might be injured under WASH
burns recent railroad order, is false. The
result proves conclusively the wisdom of
Gen. Washburns order. Nearly every train
on the railroad for ten days previous to the
issue of this order was fired upon by BUSH
whackers, and citizens and soldiers killed
and wounded, while not gun has been fir
ed since the publication of the order. The
report that the circulation of the Chicago
Times has been suppressed on the road is
also false. Washburn considers that paper
a valuable auxiliary, as it enables him to
spot traitors, and no obstruction is placed
in the way ofits circulation within the lin
its of this command. Reports of affairs in
Memphis made up by Cairo reporters are
nearly all sensational, and should not be re-
lied upon until corroborated.
And it may be added that few reports
from Memphis under WAsHBURN's admin
istration of the telegraph are worth credit

News from Rebel Sources -. The
Rebels Smelling General Fosters
Headquarters.
NEW YORK, July 10. = The Richmond
Whig Of the 18th has this dispatch:
HEADQUARTERS, July 4-A brigade of
Federal cavalry crossed the river last night
opposite Newran, but were driven back by
Brigader General Armstrong. All quiet
elsewhere.
[Signed. JAMES f. JOHNSON,
General.
The same paper says Sheridan, with two
brigades, was moving towards Portsmouth.
Some think they are getting towards North
Carolina-Others that they are bound for
Maryland, embarking at Portsmouth.
Richmond papers of the 10th are exceed
ingly jubilant, and announce the capture of
Baltimore, Washington and New Orleans.
The Herald's James river correspondence
Of the 10Th, midnight, says the rebels she'll
ed General Fosters headquarters at Steep
Bottom that day for upwards of an hour,
and their range was SO accurate that they
had to be changed several times. Shells
went through the Generals tent. No lives
were lost They also opened on the gum
boats and pontoon bridge. The Mendoza
received shot in the bu1warks, killing two
men and wounding four others. The Mem
dota opened on the enemy and soon silenced
their battery. Grant visited Foster to-day.
The enemy were shelling the place when
the interview took place. t

ST.. LOUIS, July 19.-The Union publish
es an extract from private letter, dated at
New Orleans on the 7th, which says: LAST
night staff officer told me that fifteen
thousand men would start from this city
and below on the ocean steamers to-day.
They take fifteen days rations and ammti-
milton. Sharp accompanies the expedition.
Also, there is now large number of addi-
tional gunboats in Lake Ponchartrain, and
nine more vessels have been added to the
fleet off Mobile. Some think this expedi-
ton is for the capture of Mobile, so as to
command the Alabama river, and establish
a base of supplies for Sherman at Selma,
while others believe the troops are destined
for Fortress Monroe"
This force may be designed to cooperate
with Gen. Slocum's expedition from Vicks-
burg, which has recently been reinforced,
and Is again marching into the interior of
Mississippi.
Rebel accounts of Slocum's expedition to
Jackson, Miss, claim that the Federal col
umn under Gen. Elliott were attacked at
the junction of the Port Hudson and Rod
ney roads on the 9Th and rJpulsed with

This doubtless refers to the expedition con-
sisting of the Marine brigade and two reg
lments of negroes, which marched from
Rodney on the 4th, and were attacked by
five brigades of rebel cavalry and infantry,

were driven off. Our troops returned to
their boats. Our loss was about one hun
dred and fifty killed, wounded and missing.

New York July ia despatch from
Thompson, of Miss, Beverly Tucker and
George N. Sanders are at that place to de-
wise basis for the action of the Chicago
Convention, which they say will end the
war and secure the triumph of the Demo-
cratic party. Though not claiming to speak
for the seeded States as yet, they hold out
strong hopes of getting their assent. The
propositions are believed to be as follows:
First the return of the seeded States to
the Union; Second, assumption of the Con-
federate debts; Third, recognition of the
freedom of slaves actually emancipated in
the progress Of the war, and the status quo
ante 6ellttn as to all others. 1eu foiS>
