"A Battle Antieipated.

NEw YoRK, March 3Ist.-The Tribune's
Washington special says, the announce.
meus having been made that the army of
the Potomac had again assumed the offen>
sive, it will rot be i'm improper to state that the
white troops of the army Of the james on
Moudsy and Tuesday, crossed the James
river and joined Grant in his new move
ment. General Grant himself left City
Point for the front on Thursday. General
Sheridan. with his cavalry, led the advance
and has by this time probably cut the Only
remaining line of comm unicaHou with
Richmond, somewhere between Burks-
Vile and DanvilIe. The rebels on SArur-
day and Monday had the bulk of their ar
my massed on their right, either in anuci-
patton of an attack in that direction or
preparatory to an evacuation of Richmond.
The line between here and City Point
has not been working for Eve or siI hours,
and if there has been any fighting it is uu.
known here. Its believed, however, that
q heavy battle took place to day.

Prom the Richmond Examiner, March y.

Henry S. Foose has relieved himself of
his supeIhuous gas since his arrival in Lon
don by 8 publication in the journals of
that city, in which he comes down in a
hurricane Of fnvectiyes upon the Confed-
crate government. He seems to have sHaI.
lowed all the winds of the ocean, and let
them loose in tornado from the British
Isles. After that peEformAce it is TO be
trusted he has suffered a collapse which
will keep him quiet to the end of his days,
We are not at all concerned as to any in-
jury be may do our cause in England The
other Confederates abroad have done Us
very little good, and the last of their nam-
Der causes us very little harm. 1t ismoFe
natural that Confederate abroad should
abuse his country than praise it; for for,
eiguers naturally ask if these people love
their country so shy did they leave it?
Foote, garrulous old man, can do US no
harm, for the simple reason that our cause
never had any chance for good in Bngland;
and If it had, q verbose, highfaluun orstoE
like Foote. would not suit the English
taste, and would do "a more mischief By
advocating our cause than opposingit. Mr..
Foote has hurt himself more than any
one else. We were all aware of his eccen-
tr1cldes, bordering on madness, but most
of Us thought him man of truth, and be-
lieved him when he proclaimed himself an
honest Confederate patriot. He now en-
treats his constituents to lose no time in
returning to the bosom of the Federal
Union. Let Mr.. Foote remain aequestered
for the rest OF his existence.

Withinia short distance of the Boyuton road,

we're hurrying men towards the Southside

great confluence was felt that Sheridan

a Military Convention.

Ezw YoRK, March 3I.-A Herald's
Washington special says:
1t is now understood from the very
highest and most reliable sources OF infor-
nation that Secretary Seward was sent for
by Mr.. Lincoln to come 70 City Point for
consultation, and that arrangements are
actually in progress for a military con7en-
tion between Gems. Grant and Lee, sup
ported on one side by Mr.. Lincoln and Sec
retsry Seward, aud on the other by JEFF.
Davis and r. NJ. T. Hunter.
A grand movement of the army under
Gen, Grant was being made on Wednesday
morning. That this movement will result
in compelling Lee to an early espitulatiou
of his army, is regarded in military circles
as inevitable.
