creased, AID it is hoped TO intimidatc the
Cabinet of the Tuilieries and influence it's
decisions 30 far as to decide in favor of aban-
doning Macmillan. II is certain that nego.
tiations more or less direct have been held
between Mr.. Bigelow, whose intimate rela-
tons with the Opinion Nationaie are well
known, and other journals of the same
shade, and the principal members Of the OPP
position. The nomination OF Gen. Logan is
an attempt at intimidation and is intended
TO aid the French opposition party.

A ludcrous mistake was made to-day by
the Imperialists Some barges of wood for
Gen Clark, commanding at Brazos, broke
loose above Matamoras and flOated past that
place. Two gunboats assisted by land bat

her rudder. 1t appears the lmpcrialsts

down to damage the fleet at the mouth OF
the Rio Grande, and blockade the river.

WASHINGTON, Nov "a
Commander Murray OF the United States
steamer Rhode Island, reports this morning
the arrival of the rebel ram Stoncwal al
Washington Navy Yard. The only incident
of the voyage which he has to report is the
sinking of coal schooner which ran across
the bow Of the ram off Smiths Point in
'Chcsapeak bay the night being dark it may
have been accidental, but to all appearances
the schooner from some means purpOscly
encountered her fate There was an una
voidable delay in bringing the Stoncwall
away from Havana, owing To the d,rangc-
EIcnt Of her machinery and the keeping oi
holiday by the spanish officials, who Xtcnd
ed to cur officers many courtcsics and uneX
pected civiliics. The total amount paid t.
the Cuban authorities tor the custody of tn,
rams ordnance stores and provisions was
$1soGj.
The Farragut naval court martial, who
are engaged III trying Commodore Craven
for failing "a attack the Stoncwall in the
harbor of Fcrrou, will, to morrow, embark
ON this ram for the purpose of testing her
sailing qualities.
