be lost sight of to such a point that it may be said that , Plenipotentiaries must have lost their memory on the voyage. What were Spain, England and France about to undertake in Three memorable documents inform us. The writer here quotes the words of the Queen of Spain to the Cortes on the 13th of November the language of the Emperor of the France, on the 27th of January, in his address to the Senate and the Legislative body; and the Royal speech to the English Parliament, on the 5th of February, at the opening of the session — all of which spoke of the absolute necessity of interfering in the affairs of Mexico. We see, was the necessity of an expedition ever made clearly demonstrated? Was the aim of an expedition ever more clearly defused? Why, then, is there now no longer an record between the three Powers? What has taken place since the troops of France, Spain and England landed in Mexico? Have terror and anarchy to reign in that unfortunate country? Far from that,

lt was highly fortunate. The Brooklyn had a long passage. Although she left Fortress Monroe on the 24th of January, she did not arrive at Pensacola until the 5th of February. In the meantime Fort Pickens, with Lieutenant Slemmer (whose conduct deserves high commendation,) and his brave little band were placed, by virtue of this nt containing the reasons for this worrying delay were communicated to Congress in a special message of the 8th of February, to which I refer the reader. On the 5th of February, the Secretary of War, under the instructions of the President, gave a peremptory refusal to this demand in an able and comprehensive letter, reviewing thelonging to the Coast Survey, but he was kept back by the truce." A strange inconsistency. The truce had expired with Mr. Holt's letter to Col. Hayne on the 5th of February, and Gen. Scott in his statement says:-- "It would have been easy to reinforce this fort down to about the 12th of February." Why, then, did not the

Advices from Europe. A letter from Cork, Ireland, of the 5th February, speaking of the destitution existing in that city, says. "To understand the extreme distress and condition of the poor, down-stricken mechanic or householding class, it is necessary to go into the back lanes and alleys of the city, and into the dark and gloomy garrets, where scenes sufficient to awaken the coldest feelings of humanity may present themselves to the view. The question now is, can anything be done to relieve this pressing claim of our fellow-creature.? The Dublin Freeman's Journal reporting a visit to the homes of the working classes in the city, says: The prevailing sickness is the low fever that is always to be found in close attendance on extreme poverty. The sickness is terribly aggravated by the want of beds and covering; and, if we had any doubt as to the incapacity of the charitable societies to grapple with the present desolation, our experience of yesterday would have removed it.

under the command of General Jenkins, the Confederate officer commanding at Petersburg, he has no right to employ them, and has not attempted to employ them, and does not claim the right to employ them in any other service than that for which they were called out by the State authorities. It follows from the views which have been presented that the militia to which the petitioner belongs have not been "turned over to the service of the Confederate States," in the sense of the Act of February 5. The troops called out by the proclamation of January 10, were to be turned over to the Confederate States by being mustered into their service, and thereby passing under the exclusive control of the Confederate authorities, losing the character of State militia, and becoming, for the term of their enlistment, a part of the Confederate army, for as was said by the Supreme Court in Houston vs. Moore, after a detachment of militia have been called forth and have entered into the service of t

The advance on Mobile. --The Mobile Advertiser has the following telegrams about the advance of the enemy towards that city: Jackson, Feb. 5.--Official information to half-past 4 o'clock last evening has been received here from Gen.

es from communication with the European world. The South has gradually lost port after port, and though cargoes will continue to be landed in obscure places along those hundreds of miles of coast, yet the blockade will be as effective as it is in the nature of such an operation to be. It will be seen then how far the South is capable of doing without that with which England has hitherto furnished it. Important discussion of American Affairs in the Paris Press. [From the Paris Nord, February 5.] Yesterday (the 4th) there was a meeting of the Privy Council in Paris. We are informed that the affairs of America, and the connection they may have with the Mexican empire, formed the principal object of the meeting. France is not without some uneasiness as to the attitude the United States may assume towards the new empire when the conclusion of the civil war has placed at the disposal of the republic a large and tried army, with numerous and skillful officers, and a four years s

els girded themselves for a final effort to dislodge us. Their bugles sounded the charge, out rushed the masses of grey, and on they came with their old yell. The Second warmed instantly to the work. It gave yell for yell, volley for volley, but stubbornly refused to give an inch of ground. Mott and Miles, Nugent, De Trobriand, McAllister, Scott, and hosts of others, shone conspicuous in the battle, for such it had become, a fair open-field fight.--The contest raged for three hours, and ended by the withdrawal of Hill to the cover of his works. Miscellaneous. The guerrillas under the command of the rebel Major White, who have been operating so industriously of late in Fairfax county, have gone up the Shenandoah Valley to a new field of operations. Advices from Arizona to February 5th announce that the expedition under Lieutenant Barr had attacked a camp of hostile Indians and killed nineteen warriors. The Apaches continue to steal and kill horses, mules and cattle.
