The h1ATAMoRAs AFFAIR.
Washington correspondent Of the
World writes:
We have good authority for sayin e
that Gen. Grant has not, up to this
hour, received word touching the
reported entrance of Gen. Sedgwick
into Matamoras and the military ope--
rations around that city. Gen. Grant
received letter from Gen. Sheridan,
dated November 20, five days after
the reported entry into Matamoras,
in which he says he had ordered Gen.
Sedgwick not to make his proposed
movement, as the same was entirely
.disapproved of. If the movement
was made into Matamoras as report
ed, we feel authorized to say that
Gen. Sedgwick has been placed under
arrest, and will be punished Gen.
Sheridan, it is believed, reached
Brownsville on Tuesday last Such
was his expectation, as stated in his
letter to Gen. Grant. It is believed
here that if Gen. Sedgwick entered
Matamoras as reported, he has been
over-reached by the merchants of
that place, who are at heart Impe-
rialists, and who have lately been
entertaining him with sumptuous
dinners.

The COTTON TAXA despatch O.
the 9th from New York saws:

the 9th from New York..says:
At the regular meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce this after
noon, memorial was read praying
Congress to abolish the export duty
on cotton. Figures were given to
show the relative production of cot
ton here and in Europe, and that not
only the control Of the European
market is impracticable, but that
American cotton is likely become
more and more insihnifcant in that
market unless the expectation Of the
staple is perfectly free OF dl.ty. 1t
was thought the revenue from the
tax might reach $40, 900, 900 annually.

If the present Congress persists in
the course which it seems to have set
out upon, no one can tell to what
dire evils it will lead. Lord Erskine,
in the British House of Commons,
once described o crew animated by
similar motives. He said:
"There are wretches. also. without
virtue, labor, or hazard, who are
growing rich rs their country is
Impoverished. They rejoice when
obstinacy, ambition, or folly adds
another year to slaughter and devasta-
ton, and laugh from behind their
desks at bravery and science, while
they are adding figure and cypher to
cypher, hoping for new contract
from new armament, and computing
the profits of a siege or tempest -

MEss.is. EDITORS: desire to call atten-
ton to the adjourned meeting OF the citi-
zens, which will take place to-day, for the
purpose of taking into consideration the
propriety Of issuing city bills for the pur-
pose of redeeming the present issue, and
for other purposes. This is a matter which
affects the vital interests of the CITY. and it
is to be hoped that there will be full
meeting. II is not my object to discuss
the matter here, but l am satisfied that
facts will be exhibited to the citizens
which it will be their interest to know, and
which will affect the future interest OF the
city. TAXPAYER

TIE PopE.-Tle religious journals
of Paris insist strongl.y that the Pope
cannot possibly, with any regard for
his safety, remain at Rome after the
departure of the French troops.
Should His Holiness not resolve to
take his departure of his own free
will, circumstances, they assert, will
speedily after lead to his expulsion.
In consequence, those journals not
only urge the Holy Father to depart,
but affect to look on that course as
decided on. Then comes the ques-
ton, "Where will the Head of the
Church go?" And on that point
there is the greatest diversity of
opinion.
