arsenal. [Correspondence of the Associated Press.] Fortress Monroe, Nov. 18.--The steamer Rhode Island has returned from Key West and Tortugas. She brings no news, and having comp up by the Gulf stream, saw nothing of the fleet at Port Royal. The steamer S. R. Spaulding is expected here from Hatteras Inlet to-morrow. Three small gun-boats have to-day arrived here en route for Hatteras Inlet. The Port Royal expedition--its effects on Commercial Affairs at the North. "Ion," the well known special Washington correspondent of the Sun, under date of the 14th, says: The success of the naval expedition and the probability of the speedy opening of two or more cotton ports on the Southern coast, has had an electrical effect upon financial and political affairs at the North. Confidence in government securities and in future business operations has been greatly increased. The Government will be thus enabled to obtain loans for the support of the war, and a fresh

The dead bodies of Seymour and Taylor were found stripped of their clothing and their skulls mashed in as if done by the butt of a carbine. No other wounds were visible, and it is, therefore, supposed the men were beaten to death. A woman living in the vicinity stated that the rebels carried away three of their own dead, together with six wounded. From her description of the uniform, two of the latter belonged to the Brooklyn company. The arrest of Messrs. Mason and Slidell. "Ion," the special Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, dated Nov. 19th, says: The arrest of the Confederate envoys on board a British packet will serve as a test of the disposition of the British Government towards the Federal Government in the present contest. They can, if they please, make it a pretext for a quarrel, if their policy render a rupture desirable. The British journals show that the public mind is deeply agitated by the distress which threatens, if it has not actual

A case (not) parallel. --Ion, the correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, brings up the case of Henry Laurens, of South Carolina, who was captured in 1779 by a British frigate, while proceeding to Holland on a mission from the Congress. The cases are not parallel. Laurens was captured in an American ship, the ship itself being therefore an enemy's ship, and persons on board of it standing in exactly the same relation to the Government of the captors, that they would have stood had they been taken on land in an enemy's country. Nobody denies that Wilke would have been justifiable in taking Messrs Mason and Slidell, had he found them of board a Confederate vessel. It is said that the dispatches, papers, and drafts of our Commissioners were put in the British mail-bag before the capture, and have thus gone safe to Europe. Mr. Laurens was less fortunate.--He had prepared his papers with lead in such a manner that he thought they would sink when thrown into the sea. Unfortunately th

Important advices from England — her Relations with the United States, Etc. "Ion," of the 22d inst., has correspondence from Washington in the Sun, from which we make the following extract: Advices were received from London by the last packet from the leading American bankers, Mr. George Peabody and Mr. Bates, stating thd that Brig. Gen. Sumner is about to be placed by Major-Gen. McClellan in command of an important division of the army of the Potomac. The coming session of Congress — Efficiency of the army of the Potomac--Opening trade with the South.

The position of Utah --Brigham Young's Prophesy.--"Ion," the special Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, Nov. 29, says: Utah has substantially declared her independence as a State, and has taken the position of strict neutrality between the South and the North in the present contest. But it appears that the delegate from that Territory will resume his seat in the Federal House of Representatives at the coming session. A statement from him as to the peculiar attitude and policy of Utah will necessarily be elicited. Meanwhile, however, I learn that Brigham Young, as autocrat of the Mormons, has more thoroughly than ever obtained the confidence of his people by the fulfillment of his remarkable and often-repeated prophecy of the dissolution of the Union. Not a single United States soldier now remains in Utah, and the travel across the plains is much diminished. There is no trouble whatever between the Mormons and the citizens of the States.

It is stated that one gentleman has signified his intention of subscribing $40,000 for this purpose. Federal operations on a Grand Scale--Confederate prisoners. "Ion," the special correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, says: It is certain that military operational in a great scale have been actively commenced in the West, and that the heavy columns of Buell and Halleck are to be precipitated upon the Confederate forces wherever found in strong positions. Important strategic points will be taken and no doubt held by the overwhelming armies of the Federal forces. The future conduct of the war will be determined by events that are to occur on the coast

ld not give his consent to any of the bills presented by the committee. He very much doubted the power to pass confiscation or emancipation bills. --But he thought something ought to be done to protect the loyal men. Mr. Blair, of Mo., did not know whether or not be should vote for this present measure, but he believed that Congress had the power to pass confiscation bills, and it was the duty of Congress to do it. Pending the Consideration of the subject the House adjourned. "Ion," of the Baltimore Sun, writes from Washington (May 28) as follows: The prospect is that the Milict confiscation and emancipation project will be pressed through the House next week. The former project will, perhaps, receive the support of the border slave State members of the House, as well as of the free State members. The latter project will unite the votes of the Northern States in the House. The scheme is admirably framed. The Senate, it is supposed, will concur with the House

stant have been received. Gen. McClellan has been removed, and Burnside is in command of the Army of the Potomac. The reasons for this are, McClellan's refusal to advance and the Harper's Ferry commission having censured him in their official report. The Scotia has arrived, with Lord Lyons and Simon Cameron among the passengers. No Cabinet council was held in England, as summoned, on the 23d of October. It was postponed indefinitely on the morning of the 23d. The London Times says that Sir G. C. Lewis expressed the opinion of the English Government. The communication of the French Minister related to matters at New Orleans, and was not likely to lead to any complications.

He says that the Confederates are getting a feet ready in English ports to attack New York.

one that there is a division in the Cabinet, Sir G. C. Lewis representing one party, and Hon. Mr. Gladstone the other. But the Times thinks the true solution is, that Sir G. C. Lewis expresses the opinion of the whole Cabinet, and whilst England regrets the shedding of blood, she does not mean to interfere. This opinion is confirmed by the Naval and Shipping Gazette, of Liverpool. Lord Lyons, though returning uninstructed, is fully advised as to the views of the British Cabinet. "Ion," of the Baltimore Sun, says that Lord Lyons will visit Richmond within ten days after his arrival at Washington. The English papers seem to be exercised at the blockade established by Com. Wilkes over the Bermuda ports, and Admiral Milne is instructed to increase his fleet at that station. They seem to look upon it as the more offensive, because it is under Wilkes. They have not forgotten the Trent affair. A dispatch from Washington, of the 10th, says there is no apprehension of a
