One of them claims victories for the rebels on Saturday and Sunday last, when they really «flected nothing, (as we know well froni a dozen different Union sources,) though losing enor. mously in killed and wounded, as the Rich- mond papers admit. This rebel dispatch says that on Saturday Lee drove Hooker out of the Little Wildegness back to Chancellorsville, and on Sunday drove im from Chancellorsyille to a position in that | immediate vicinity. As the Union accounts o! Saturday’s engagement, in other columns of | to-day's Star, explain, the falling back was on | the part of Sigel’s late (now Howard's) corps, which behaved so disgracetully and was only saved from annihilation by the gallantry of | Hooker's original division, under Berry, which checked the enemy's pursuit and drove bim ; back in turn with great lose, , So far as Sunday's change of position is con- | cerned, it was simply @ concentration of Hook. er's force in a far better position than immedi- ately at Chancellorsville, though very near it. It was effected with small loss to us when compared with the loss sustained by the rebels | iu assailing us during the movement. On Monday afternoon, the rebels aitacked | our left—Howard’s corps—and after a despe- rele engagement, were completely repulsed With great loss. Yesterday forenoon they again advanced against us at the same point, but were able to stand the contest but for fifteen minutes; when they again fell back, repulsed ‘with heavy loss. Stoneman’s expedition proved a great succese, H indeed, The Richmond papersof the sth (yes- terday) sly that his forces played sad hayoe with @ieir railroadat Hanover Junction and | other points; destroying locomotives anda large mount of other valuable property, and all the railroad brides to within five miles of Rich- mond. Gen. Sedgwick having duly executed his | teint below Fredericksburg, has recrossed the | river with his force, and we presume is now } doubtless carrying out some other portion of | Gee. Hooker's plans. In the Richmond papers mentioned above is 4 dispatch from Gen. Lee to Jeff. Davis, say- ing that (the retel) General Paxton is killed, Stomewsll Ja keon severely wounded, and Gens. Heth and A. P. Hill aleo badly wound- ed. Another rebel dispatch states that the rebel joss im killed and wounded kas been very heavy. We may add that it is understood here that | the position which General Hooker has occu | pied since moving a short distance from Ohan- ecllorsville on Sunday last, is impregnable. He and bis whole army were yesterday | moruing :» the best spirits, and the sentiment | of enure confidence in the final result of his | admirable strategy and tactics was universal there. | OFFICERS KILLED The followin- is a partial list of officers re- ported as killed during the battles at Chancel. lor ville :—Maj.

Stoneman’s force was divided into three columns, one of which, that moving in the di_ rection of the Richmond and Fredericksburg railroad, he commanded in person, though the havoc worked from Hanover Junction down to within five miles of Richmond, was made by a, subdivision under the command of Col, Dayis. One of the three columns, commanded by Brigadier General Averill, after crossing the Rappahannock at Kelly's Ford, pushed on to Brandy Station, where it met the enemy's pick- etg and drove them back in a short skirmish. It tken pushed on direct to Culpeper Court House, where Generals Fitzhugh and William Henry Lee were found with a rebel force of perhaps 500 cavalry, which fled precipitately back across Cedar Mountain. At Culpeper Court House General Averill captured a lot of rebel government flour, and then pushed on after the retreating Lees, fol- lowing them to Rapid Ann Station, where they burned the railroad bridge, over which they retreated after a smart fight, in which they lost Col. ‘Rosser, (late of the U. S. Army,) who commanded one of their brigades. Our lors there was inconsiderable, and they lost several killed besides Col. Rosser, and also 31 prisoners, whom General Averill brought back with him. The object of Averill’s expedition seems to have been to destroy this (Rapidan) bridge, which the enemy in their panic did for him. After proceeding as far as Orange Uourt House, he returned with his force to the main army, joining it at Chancellorsville on Sunday last. Another column of Stoneman’s force, under command of Gen, Buford, which left the Rap- pahannock at the same time, pushed on di- rectly towards Gordonsville, and positive in- formation has just been received announcing its success in cutting the Central railroad be- tween Gordonsville and Richmond, and also between Gordonsville and Charlottesyille; thus (with the achievements of the column in de- stroying the railroad between Fredericksburg and Richmond) completely stopping rail com- munication in any direction out from Lee’s main army, and breaking up for the time being theememy’s facilities for forwarding supplies or reinforcements to it from any direction. According 1" the Richmond papers of yester- day, Longstreet, in person, joined Lee some days ago. but was accompanied by none of the troops with which he had been operating be- fore Suffolk. We regret to have to say that Briadier Gen. A. W. Whipple, who was wounded in the re- cent engagement in which Gen. Berry was killed, died yesterday at 2 p.m. By way of illustrating the wildness of the rebel newspapers concerning the recent eyents, ‘we may mention that they claimed yesterday that Lee had actually driven Hooker's army across the Rappahannock on Sunday! ‘The latest information from the field states that the aggregate rebel loss in the four day's fighting has been far larger than ours—which is natural enough, us they were necessarily in every case the attacking party, and followed their old practice of massing their troops very heavily against the points they selected to as- sail; thus presenting numerous opportunities for our artillery 0 mow them down in great numbers. The Richmond papers ot yesterday claim that Lee took in the engagement of Saturday 5,000 of the Eleventh Army Corpsas prisoners. ‘This is the corps that behaved so badly on Sat- urday, but the number of prisoners taken from it is nothing like this number. It is but fair tothe Eleventh Corpe to say that they retrieved their reputation measurably by good conduct en Monday and yesterday, showing that their bad behavior previously was from ene of those panics that will some- times overtake the best troops. STILL THEY COMB. The stéamer John Brooks arrived this fore- noon with 450 rebel prisoners, taken in the late engagements, most of them in the fight ot Satur- day. Among them are about fifty officers, sev- eral of them being colonels. They mostly be- long to North Carolina and Alabama regiments. Aboutone o’clock a detachment of the Penn- sylvania Reserves took them in charge, and marched them to the Soldiers’ Rest. There are a few wounded among them, who were taken in ambulances tothe barracks. Many of them were taken by Gen. Sickles in his bril- liant dash upon the rebel lines, and the rede; prisoners speak of his bravery in unmeasured terms. BACK AGAIN, Among the rebel prisoners brought up yes- terday is a son of ex-Senator A.G, Brown, of Mississippi, and a few others who are well- known about Washington. Capt. E. B. Rob- inson, well-known here as “Bull Robinson,’ who took an active part inthe National Vol- unteer Association about the time of the in- coming of this administration is reported among the number.

MOST IMPORTANT FOREIGN NEWS. stems b dblien GREAT DEBATE AND EXCITEMENT IN THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT ON AMERMCAN AFFAIRS. MR FAVOR OF PUTTING DOWN THE “ UP- START INSCLENCE” OF THE UNITED STATES, area OTHER SPEAKERS COUNSEL MODERATION, BSR SS New York, May 6.—The steamship Austra- lasian has arrived, with dates to April 25th. Important debates have occured in both houses of the English parliament, concerning the seizure of British ships in neutral water, and the protection granted by Minister Adams to Mexican traders. Many speakers urged that such proceedings cannot be tolerated. Mr. Roebuck deciared himself for war to put down “this upstart in- solence.” The ministers and some of the sap- porters counselled moderation and deprecated the violence of some of the speakers. Lord Palmerston said the matter was being considered, but Russell said that the seizure of the Dolphin and the conduct of Mr. Adams would be represented to the Washington Goy- ernment for redrees. Many of the English journals argue that the American Government should Jearn a lesson from the irritation evinced, unless it desires to increase the ill feeling. The Glove regards affairs as critical, andsays the reciprocal irritation argues badly for ami- cable relations. In the House of Lords, on the 24th ult., Lord Redesdall called attention te the interference with mails on ships seized by the Federals. Derby said that nothing was more monstrous than the claim of Americans to deal with such mails, and he was astonished thatthe Govern. ment acquiesced. Russell said that the practice was in a great degree sanctioned by Stowell; but the instrne- tions had been modifled. He would obtain the opinion of the law efficers of the crown, and lay it on the table. In the House of Commons on the 24th ult., the Solicitor General, in reply to an inquiry by Lord Charchill, said that British merchant- men had not been authorized to resist capture by the Federal cruisers. They would, by so doing, be subject to condemnation, Mr. Horstall called attention to > seizure of the gunboat Alexandra at Liv:ipuol. He asserted that there was nothing to justify it, and denied that she was intended for the Con- federates. He showed the benefits the Federals were deriving from free shipment of warlike stores andevyen recruits, and urges the Gov- | ernment to impartially administer the foreign enlistment act. . The Attorney General justified the seizure of the Alexandra, and said the case would take its legal course. He pronounced Mr. Horsfali’s charges as most unfair. The merits of the Alexandra tase were generally debated. Mr. Cobden asserted that America had always acted up to the principles of the foreign enlist- ment act towards England, and he demanded that England should act in a like spirit towards America. He denounced the case of the Ala- bama, and said she should be eeizea, as the only method of ending such practices. Sir Fitzroy Kelly asked if the Government was taking steps to protect the postal service of Mexico. Palmerston said England’s commercial in- terest with Mexico had the best security in the belief that the United States Government would not make seizures without due causes, and there was reason to believe that the United States prize courts would not act unjustly. The British Consul weuld receive and open suspected mails, and would in honor deliver up any correspondence centrary to good faith. The subject was hereupon dropped. The Daily News regards the interest in Mr. Horsfall’s motion as painfully significant.. The British Squadron in the Pacific is to be strengthened. The steamer Sea Queen left Falmouth for Matamoras without mails or any definite Promise of protection. FROM ASPINWALL.
