Nxw York, May 4.—By the steamship Etna, we bave the following: The steamer Great Eastern had been re; and floated off the “gridiron.” Hier day of sail- ing had not been fixed yet. The gunboat Alexandra, seized at Liverpool on euepicion of being designed for the rebele, was exchequered on the 2th. The owners and builders were expected to be brought before the magistrates ina few days, charged with deaign- ing to infringe the foreign enlistment act. There was a rumor, hewever, that the govern- ment Would give up the steamer for lack of safficient evidence. it is reported that the government will pre- yent further shipments from Ireland of organ- ized gungs of men, ostensibly for railroad pur- pores, but believed to be for the Northern® armies. The ceizure of English vessels for Mexico, and the action of Mr. Adams in granting a cer- tificate to exempt one of themattracts much at- tention. The government agent had declined to senda mail agent by the steamers for Matamoras, and recommended them not to curry the mails. The Times denounces this as pusillanimous and truckling to the designs of the Federal cruisers and it calls aloud fora stand to be made agaiust further encroachments on the rights of neu# trals. Enquiries had been made in Parliament as to the course the government intended to pureue, but Lord Palmerston postponed auswering the question. The Morning Postsays that Mr. Adams com- mitted a fatal mistake in granting a certificate of exemption. It forbears to speak of his ex- traordinary assumption in strong terms, feeling confidint that the Washington government will busten to disavow the act. Mr. Layard said in the House of Commons that the matter was long considered by the government, but no communication had yet been mude to the American government. The Times announces the seizure of the Dol- phin 4s a worse case than thatof the Peterhoff. und says that America relies on the extreme relwctance of England to engage in hostilities. It is reported that the Emperor Napoleon is greatly offended at the facilities given by Mr. Adams for the conveyance of arms to the Mexicans. The Paris correspondent of the Times says it is thought that the ume is not far distant when France and England will have to assume another attitude towards America. Earl De Grey is now the English Secretary of War, and Marquis Hartington under secre- tary. Increating apprehensions are felt in Paris on the Polish question, and it is believed that if the reply from Russia to the notes of the three powers are unfavorabie, Napoleon will not hesitate to draw the sword.

Lexvon, April 23.—The News says itis sus- pected that the government at Washington has given secret orders to its offieers, and thinks that the instance of Mr. Adams giving a permit to one vessel supports that suspicion. It says that the aid given by British merchants to tha rebels by furnishing supplies furnishes no good ground for excluding British vessels from com- merce, and if such an attempt be made by Ad. | miral Wilkes, the British government will put | it down.

Priceo—THRER GENTS, ii THE GREAT BATTLES ON THE RAPPAHANNOCK, “> CONNECTED NARRATIVE OF EVENTS ON FRIDAY, SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY. —————— INTERESTING DETAILS, ——.__— From the correspondence of the New York Tires, Tribune, and Herald, we make up the following interesting details of the first three days’ fighting across the Rappahannock: Events of Friday. Abont noon, the Fifth and Tweinh eoRps, Gens. Meade’s and Slocum’s, advanced [from banger ane) by separate roads towards the city of Fredericksburg. Gen. Slocum’s corpse moved to tne right, und Meade's to the left; the second division of this latter corps, under Gen. Sykes, ieading the advance. In about an hour's time heavy firing announced that they, had inet the enemy. This continued for upwards of three quarters of an hour, gradually extending to our right wing, when orders were sent by Gen. Hooker from his headquarters at Chancellorsyille, for the two columns to fall slowly. back. This command was carried out in the most systematic and regulur manner. The cause for this movement was the fact that General Hooker had received information from his headquarters that the enemy had thrown the greater part of his force over on this side of the fortifications, and had also re- moved many of the guns in the lower batteries, and placed them in position at the upper end ofthe town—thus iudicatiog an intention of making an attack on us. He, therefore, sus- penaed this preliminary attack at ence, which fad been arranged as a prelude to important operations elsewhere, and rightly surmésed that if the enemy did really mean to attack us Bey, would follow up our retirement. At2 P. M. he remarked: “I think I can make them come out and fight me on my own ground.” In two hours the assertion was proven. The enemy mistook our voluntary retirement fora check and followed us rapidly as we fell back. After the return of the two columns every- thing remained quiet, until about four o'clock, when the rebels attacked us in force on our right, a mile or so from Chancellorsville ap- pearing in line of battle in au open field, front- ing @dense wood. Our pickets retired before them slowly, and our artillery opened a vigor- ous fire of shell, which induced them to fall back. Gen. Geary, of the second Division of Slocum’s command, at this point stoutly maintained his position by an eitective use of artillery. With remarkable rapidity, they commenced shelling our whole line. extending back to our rear, where General Howard was stationed with the 1ith Corps. The Gener: ‘was making preparations for the fight. Riile pie were quickly dug inthe fleids back of eadquarters, about 3) yards from the road, and heavy lines of skirmishers lay upon their faces waiting theattack. The artillery practice grew more lively each moment, and was continued till night, when it ceased, with a prospect, however, of a renewal next morning. Our total losses are not yetknown. Wehad | about one hundred killed and wounded in Gen. Sykes’ fight. Capt. Marsh, of the (7th regulars, was killed; Capt. Overton, of G-n. Sykes’ staff, was wounded—not dangeronsly; Lieut. Wells, 14th regulars, wounded; Lieut, Col. Walker, Assistant Adjutant General to Gen. Couch, was wounded by a piece of shell in the arm—not seriously; Lieut. Col.

Light boats are now moving. up the Yazoo. A train of transports had reached Hazlehurst, and it was evident that the enemy intended moving on Natchez. Gen. Banks had taken Alexandria, La, It was saic to be impossible for him to get into Moon Lake until the river rises. Adespaich from Jackson, dated at 9 o’clock on the 29th, says that * the communication with Grand Gulf has been re-established. After six hours fighting, the gunboats withdrew. About ‘vv shot were fired, temporarily disabling one gun. Our (rebel) loss was 3 killed and 22 wounded. Colonel Wade, of theartillery, was killed. Two gunboats were apparently dis- abled, but the damage is unknown. They lie three miles below on the Louisiana shore. The enemy (Federals) engaged a large body of troops at Hard Times, five miles above Grand Gulf. Six gunboats, with two trans- ports, passed Grand Gulf on the 20th. The nemy were od the Louisiana shore, below Mobile, on the 30th, Official information says that the sloop of war Puebla was destroyed by fire on the 29th, off Pensacola, ard is a total loss.” Expedition for Operations in Texas. Sr. Louis, Mo., May 4.—The Kaneas corres- pondent of the Democrat says: “The expedi- lion fitted out at Fort Scott for Texas, known as Gen. Blunt’s army, is composed of the Kan- sus and Nebraska volunteers, one regiment from Colorado, and 5,006 Indians. Every effort is being made tostart the expedition by the 10th of May. The negro regiment had already eom- pleted the fortifications at Fort Scott.” The Springfield, Mo., correspondent of the Democrat says that the force at Fayetteville, Ark., consisting of the Ist Arkansas Cavalry and the Ist Arkansas Infantry, has been or dered to Springfield. Vessel Burnt by a Privateer. 5 Nzw York, May 4.—The whale bark Jared Coffin reports that on the night of March 27, in jat. 2 deg. 27 min., long. 25 deg. 10 min., saw a ship on fire, and passed within two miles of her, when a heavy rain setting in lost sight of her. Next morning spoke the British brig Hed- ley Vicars, who reported that a’ two e’clock p. m. she saw two vessels near together. At four o’clock they separated, and at sundown saw one on fire, but owing to the bad weather could not ascertain whether she was a ship or bark. The vessel evidently was burnt by a Cenfed- erate privateer. Less of the Steamer Mero. New York, May 4.—The steamer Moro, hence on the Ist inst. for Hayana, was burned at sea, and her crew have arrived here. The Moro was burned off Absecom on the morning of the 3dinst, ®hesailed on the 2d for Havana, where she was to be delivered to parties who had urchased her.

While these operations were in progress on the right (that is above Fredericksburg), the position below the town was not uninterest- ing. The two lines of battle which the enemy showed on Thursday night, were no longer visible, the troops doubtless haying been with- drawn to fight our forces in therear. Their skirmish line also looked as if it had been thinned out, and to all appearances, the rebels had “raked and scraped” together all their forces to meet the rear attack. Our own troops are stretched out in two line#of battle on this side of the river. Atintervals the rebels were cheering vociferously, and rebel camp fires simultaneously appeared along their-.line. Their forces could be seen all the forenoon passing along the road on the brow of the crest to the right, supposed tobe Jackson’s corps. Artillery, to the number of 40 or 50 pieces, ac- companied them, being distinctly sgen and counted. Gre Fitzhue, who resided in an elegant mansion on this side of the river, was killed day before yesterday, and his remains sent over. He was in the rifle pits when our forces charged up the opposite bank ot the river. Events of Saturday. Early on Saturday morning the enemy com- menced shelling our troops about two miles below Fredericksburg. A heey fire was aiso directed on our lower bridge, with the expecta- tion, doubtless, of destroying it. Our guns on the left returned the fire vigorously. Among the batteries participating were Uapt. Ricket’s First Pennsylvania, Capt. Thompson’s Inde- pendent battery, Capt. Edgell’s First New ampshire, planted together on a small eleva- tion. The fire temporarily slackened on both sides, at about nine o’clock. Events of Sunday. On Sunday morning, we are informed, our left wing was in possession of Fredericksburg and of the first line of redoubts on the hill de- hind it,and was feeling its way to the second line. The redoubts were carried with great ease and with a very slight loss of life The Rebels had marched away in the direction of Chan- cellorsville (ten miles above Fredericksburg) to attack our right wing there posted, leaving at first only 16,000 men, and sul uently not more than 5,000 to 7,000 in their works, as was: ascertained by reconnoissance trom Lowe’s balloon. A great portion of our Falmouth batteries ‘were engaged on Sunday with the rebel bat- teries. Firing, both of musketry and cannona- ding, on the right, in the direction of Chancel- lorsville, was very heavy. The enemy had been forced to fight on ground of Gen. Hooker's choosing, as he promised his soldiers in the general order, published this morning, should be the case. It was believed in both wings that Gen. Stoneman’s expedition to cut the railroads between the rebels and Richmond had proved successful, thus cutting off the only p: of re- treat. So confident was Gen. Hooker at Fal- mouth of success in conformity with his orders a force had already commenced to rebuild a bridge over the Rappahannock. The troops are in the finest spirits, and everything looks propitious. Withdrawal: of Wadsworth’s Divison— Mysterious Fires Behind Fredericksbur, —Occupation of the Town by Fede: Troops.
