Hatirax, July 20.—The steamship Africa, from Liverpool on the tith inst, via Queens- town on the 12:h, arrived at 5.30 p. m. to-day. The Morning Post says Mr. Lindsay expwct- ed to favor the Honse of Commons, on the 13th inst. with a detailed account of his several in- lerviews wiih Napoleon, trom a note book in which he had noted the substance ot each con- versation regarding American affairs when he returned from the imperial closet The Post questions the infallibiliiy of Mr. Lindsay as a reporter, aud is anxious to know in what language the conference was carried on. The English Parliament and journals are all actively engaged in the discussion of American affsirs, resulting from Lee’s invasion. The comments of the leading statesmen and editors are more ludicreus than otherwise at the pres- enttime, but they express their earnest desire for the success of the Sonthern Confeder: Contederate scrip has advanced to three-qaar- ters premium. The Times expects to hear of Davis beingin Washington and dictating terms, and the war bronght to a decisive issue. Th? Fortification bill passed to « second reading in Parliament. The London Times says, in yiew of the possibility of Davis overthrowing Lincoln, and should another Government address us from Washington, it may be difficult, indeed impos- eible, to refuse to acknowledge it. Qn the loth, Mr. Ferguson urged that con- sidering the chanze which had recently taken place im the character of the American war, it would be impolitic to resume the discussion uper Americun aifairs, Palmerston also re- quested that Mr. Roebuck wonld drop further discussion, as it was not desirable to resame it, or bind the Governmen’ to pledge them- selves as to their future action. Mr. Roebuck postponed his an. wer till the Mth, but thought ». better answer would be heard before that day i the House of Lords Earl Russell said that the Japanese had entered deliberately into a treaty, and must be taught through civilized operations to respect strangers, if they did not respect themselyes. ii a war took place it would do good, if Avoided by submission it would do more good. Tke Daily News, referring to the question Ppostporing Roebuck’s motion, attacks Pual- merston who in supporting the postponement manages to convey to the House the impression that he is anxiously expecting news from Washington which affects the action of the British Government The Herald says there is @ great justice in Gregory’s view, and that it would bea misfortune if the yote of the Com- mons should make it appear that the House ‘was hostile to the independence of the South- ern confederation, when the confederate army is at the gates of Washington, Philadelphia and Baltimore. FRANCE. “Le Nord” has reason to believe that Mr- Dayton did not declare that America would cousider the recognition of the confederate States casus belli. Drouyn de l’Huysasked Mr. Dayton whether a fresh offer of mediation would be well received at Washington. Mr. Dayton gave a negative answer. St. Petersburgh letters assert that Gortcha- kc ffs reply to the nctes of the three “Powers ‘Will be very pacific. He will only make some Teserves relative to the time and place of con- ference. MORGAN ROUTED IN OHIO. 1,300 of His Men Captured—Colonel Basil Duke a Prisoner. CINCINNATI, July 20.—On Saturday morning Morgan’s forces were overtaken near Pomeroy by Generals Hobson and Judah, who had termed a junction. sresn Gmdiog, WIMSEIE in close quarters, and learning that the ford at Buffinton Isiand was well guarded, broke up his band into small sqnads in order to escape. One squad, with Fix pieces of artillery, made for the cross- ing at Buffinton. Our guabout drove them back with @ ioss of one hundred killed and drowned. Our cavalry charged and captured a battery, killing a number of the rebels. - Coloneis Wolford and Shakleford succeeded in capturing one lot of five hundred and seven- ty-five, and another of two hundre¢ d sey. enty-live, besides numerons squads, making in 2ll over one thousand prisoners. Our cay- alry is in pursuit of the remainder of his com- mand, which is entirely broken up and seat- tered among the hills. The position of the rebel forces is such that they caunot cress the Ohio nor get mucia far- ther north. Our forces are continually capturing Mor- gan men. Basil Duke was captured near Pomeroy tis morning. ‘fhirteen hundred men have been taken so far. Major Brown, commanding abattalion of the Tenth Kentucky cavalry jarrived here with one hundred and iitty prisoners captured du- ring 4 reconnoissance near Abingtoa, Indtana. z 2 > s- 2 < Crxer 7 p. m.—Morgan h about a thousand men has been turned back.

Just as our gunboats hoye sight the remainder on ihe Ohio shore were at- tacked by our forces and scattered. Our men rieking them up till only about fit. dred were left, who finally succeeded kivg through our lines, and pushed bick in the direction of Buffington, Atnine o'clock this morning they passed through Harrison- ville, in miles northeast of Pomeroy, appa- rently exhausted with fatigne, The Supposed Privateer, PORTLAND, Me., July 2th.—The mayor has received the folowing from Cape Elizabeth: “The steamer Cambridge, Spicer, just ar- Tiyed off this point froma cruise pff the New Jersey cost reports that heavy fogs continued for eight days.

The joint resolution offered by Mr. Shepherd, authorizing the appointment of a committee to revise the charter and report such amendmen's as they may deem advisable to the Board tor action, was called up and adopted, Mr. N. D. Larner, from the improvements committee, reported adversely en the petition of John Purdy, asking the Corporation to take | & pump off his hands, and the committee was | discharged. Also, reported back, without rec- ommendation, the biil authorizing the Mayor to | contract for furnishing cast iron plates and placing them across the gutters. He stated that there was a disagreement among the com- mittee upon the subject. Plates of the size contemplated, three feet square, would cost $ii>0, and those of the proper size, five feet square, would cost at least #20. The Mayor had it in his power to lay wooden, stone or iron crossings, as he saw fit. After some debate the bill was laid over intormally. The bill making an appropriation to pay cer- tain claims was received from the Board of Aldermen, and the name of C. H. Anderson was inserted. [This bill appropriates $29) to pay for the engrossment, framing, &c., of the reso- lution of thanks to Gen. McUlellan.} Mr. Shepherd said he would not oppose the i bill, but he would give an idea of the getting up of the resolutions. First there was a propo- sition to buy a portrait of Gen. McClellan tor the Council chamber, which he opposed. Then the resolutions were passed, and when it was. proposed to pay $100 for their engrosament, &c., the sum was hooted at as extrayagant, and now it had risen to $300. Mr. M. Larner said that he weuld not have voted for such asum in the first instance, but the work had been done and the money must be paid, and he would vote for the bill on the ground of justice. As fora useless expendi- ture, he (the speaker) thought the gentieman from the Third Ward (Mr. Shepherd) shoulda notsay anything on thatscore. The improve- ments to the Council chamber, done under ihe direction of Mr. Shepherd, show for them- selves, one of the rooms being unfinished. the upholsterer not haying enough of the POpor to timink ity aethe paper could not be matched, he supposed that the paper-hanger would scon have nother jobto paper it all Then there was the Union mass meeting at the Capitol, when $300 was spent by th» committee for refreshments, $300 more for hack hire, &c. For that meeting $1,500 had been speut. He was as good a Union man as any ene, but he would not haye taken the money of the Corporation to get up the meeting. Way wae not the money raised by private subscrip- ion? Mr. Shepherd stated that he had no hand in the doings of the committee, but he was proud to say that he had something to do with the improving of the Chamber, which was not now as i was formerly, a disgrace to the city. He too had been in favor of raising the money for the expenses of the meeting by subscription, but that plan had met with opposition by some of Mr. Larner’s friends, Mr. Larner.— Who o! my friends, sir, do yor mean, sir. 1 am not to be sulted here by any one. The chair called Mr. L. to order. Mr. Shepherd disclaimed any purpose to in sult any one, and certainiy had too much re- spect for the age of the gentlemén tointend any- thing disrespeciful towards him. Mr. Larner said he did not wish to be shielded by his age. The chair called to order. The yeas and nays were then called on the passage of the bill, and it was passed—yeas 17, nays—Follansbee, Knight, and Raub—3. Mr. Larner said he had an apology to make to the Board for the hasty language just used by him, but he had no apology to make to the gentleman from the Third Ward. Mr. Ellis offered a resolution instructing the committee on schools to inquire into the expe- diency of authorizing the Board of Trastees to establish a male and female high school, which WAs adopted. Mr. Raub introduced the following : Resolved, That the Chair be, and he hereby is desired to appoint a special committee of three members, whose duty it shall be to inquire into the facts connected with the present of a gold watch toa member of this Board by certain persons for services, as alleged, rendered by him in procuring the passage of an act through this Board appropriating a sum of money to be paid monthly for their benefit, and that the committee report all the facts to the Board, and also, whether there i; any law of Congress or the Corporation, rendering the reception of any valuable consideration for yotes or official in- fluence in this Board unlawful or improper. Laid on the table. Bir. Cantield rose to reply to the mover of the resolution, but said that, as his friends had desired him to say nothing, he would wait for a more appropriate time. The board then adjourned to Wednesday night to consider the special orders, consisting eee tax, appropriation, and livery stable dills. As the members were leaving the chamber, Mr. Canfield accosted Mr. Raub, telling bim that the intimation in his resolution was a falsehood. Mr. Raub told him not to talk so fist; that he (1t.) had plenty of backers ; that the resoln- tion had been drawn up by one of the first men in the city. Mr. Canfield replied in warm language, but no blows were passed. ag Hien Trvrs on Goosk Lrvet.—Last week the pound-master, Wm.
