FROM EUROP A New Feature in the Capture of the Florida—tmpertant Developments Prob- able—Great Speech by Mr. (obden—Man- Hiesto of the Rebel Commissioners. New York, Dec. 11.—By the ULuropean steamer at this port we haye the tollowingsum- mary of interesting news: The political news is unimportant. The Daily News, in an editorial on th+ proposed arming of slaves doubts if it will be done. It is stated that, as the Florida, on her seizure at Bahia, was taken entirely by surpri-e, every- thing on board was secured by hercaptors,and among the papers was much important infor- mation, which,fitis said, may implicate some foreign officfails of high rank in active symp- thy with and in favor of the rebels. r. Cobden addressed a great meeting of his constituents at Rochdale, on the 23d, ult., at great length, his leading theme beingnon-in- terveation in European or American affairs. He adverted to the war in America, and asked why the South, asin other cases of rebellion, had not put forth a list of its grievances. The reason, he thought, was that they had but one, ahd wanted to consolidate, péfpeta- ate, end extend slavery. Instead of stating their grievances, they, simply ask to be let alone. Itis this cry that has secured so much European sympathy for the insurreetion, He regarded the peaceful Presidential elec- tion as one of the most sublime spectacles in the whole history ot the world. He said the people that could do that had given tothe world a spectacle such a5 was never presented before by any other people. They had re- solved, notwithstanding their great sacrifices, thatslavery should be abolished. They reiter- ated their belief with far greater emphasis than before. He said he did not believe he should live to see two independent States on the continent of North America. He considered that thegeo- graphical difficulties in the way of asepara- tion were insuperable. He took leave of the American subject by deprecating the ig- norance which prevailed in Engiand in regard to the geography, resources, &c., of the coun- try, and by declaring thathe would havenoth- ing done to carry out his opinions, but was simply desirous, by his observations, to trim the scales, so as to prevent undue preponder- ance in favor of the other side The London Index publishes a copy of a pote dated November 11, signed by Siidell, Mason, and Mann, addressed to Drouyn de Lhuys, formally presenting to the French Government a manifesto adopted by tue rebel Congress at thelast session. The com mis- sioners invite his attention to this manifesto, the terms of which they briefly recapitulate, and add that since it was issued the war has continued to be waged by the North with even increased ferocity, a more signal disregard of all rules of civil warfare, and a more wanton violation of the obligations of international law. The identical note was presented to all the Cabinets of Europe, Constanstinople excepted, GRANT Some Details of Late Movements—Another uccessiul Re mce — Enemy’s Works Carried Troops Occupy Them—Union Casualties Small. {Correspondence Associated Press.} HeavguarTERS ARMY Potomac, Dec. $— p. m.— Another reconnoissance was myde this morning along the Vaughn road, toward Hatch- er Run, over the same ronte the cavalry went yesterday. The force consisted of detachments from several regiments of cavalry, under Col. Kirwin, of the 13th Pennsylyania, and three brigades otf the Ist division of the 2d corps, un- der Gen. Miles. The videttes of the enemy were driven across the run, when a sharp fire was opened on the advance from a line of breastworks on the up- Posite side. After some skirmishing to discover the en- emy’s strength, a charge was made across the run, and the works carried by assault, but not till the rebels had made good their retreat up the south side. Our men took position in the entrenchments taken, while skirmishers were thrown out on both flanks. Soon after a report came in that the enemy ‘Were moying up and across therun; halfa mile ‘west of the road our troops were on, evincing &n intention to attack the right flank. Gen’! Miles at ence disposed his command to receive them if they should attempt it. He also sent back for reinforcements, which were given him at once; but the enemy did not make their ap- pearance during the afternoon, and itis believed they fell back to astronger position at Arm- strovg’s Mills,a mile and a halt west. The impression is that they had uo large force in the vicinity, otherwise & more stubborn resistance to our advance would have been made, Our loss in the charge was 17 men wounded. Among them was Lieut. Ward, of the 3d Pennsylvania cavalry. If they The joss of the enemy is notknown. had any, they carried them off, for none fell into our hands. Later in the afternoon, reports came that the enemy were moving towards the left in heavy force. Arrangements were made to meetihem, but up to this hour (midnight) they have not appeared. n my dispatch a few cays ago, giving & list of promotions by brevet, l included the name of Gen. Meade as being made brevet Major General. This wasineorrect. He was made full major Kenere! in the reguiar army, to date from August 18, I-Si, to rank next to General Sherman.

[From the Richmond Whig of Friday] The Charleston Mercury of Monday says that Sherman is evidently marching on Sa- Vannah or some point in its neighborhood. On Friday morning, the 2d instant, his maic army broke up its camp at Louisville, Ga, and marched down the Central Railroad, the Ith and 2th army corps, which torm his left wing, being in the advance. Before nightfall the greater portion of the Yankee column had paseed through Millen in the direction of Sa- vannah. We have no laier news ef 1's where- ghouts. The Mercury had not hearg cf the se- vere drubbing administered to the 1itm corps and Kilpatrick's cavalry by Gen. Wheeler, at Thomas, on Sunday last. Petails of this affair will show that the Yankees were badly used up in that fight. Gen. Butler's Advance. {From the Richmond Ihspach, Dee. 9 } We hear nothing more of the crossing of the enemy tothesoath bank of the James river, near Battery Howlett, and, therefore, believe it certain that if any force arrived at that point it was an insignificantone, and not designed toeflect any important result. From all we have been able to gather, we think it likely that a small pafty in barges, engaged in the in- teresting but perilous bur iness of torpedo bunt- ing, took advantage of the fog of Wednesday morning, and came over from Cox’s Landing tothe south bank, and, being seen when the fog had partially cleared away, their number. were very considerably magnified, until the story assumed the sound of proportions with which it reached the city, namely, thats heavy force of the enemy had succeeded in making a landing between Howlett’s and Drewry’s Bluffs. Yesterday passed off quietly on the lines eouth of the city, the report circulated yester- day morning thata general battle was going on all slong the lines being a rumor of that sensational class that were very general and common some months ago, but which have of late been, we are glad to say, not so often beard. Another Raid om the Weldon Railroad. Information reached the city yesterday morning thata force from Grant’s army had struck the Petersburg and Weldon Railroad at Jarratt’s, thirty-two miles south of Petersburg, and were proceeding towards Weldon. Up to the time ot writing, no offictal advices have been received in relation to this expedi- tion. We learn from unofficial sources thata heayy column of theenemy, consisting of in- fantry, artillery and cavalry, left our front at Petersburg on Tuesday night, moving down the Jerusalem Plank Road, and were reported on Wednesdey morning to beat Proctor’s Mill, twenty miles south of Petersburg. Since that time they were not heard from till yesterday morning, when the informatien above men- tioned was received here. This column of the enemy is said to consist mostly of infantry, from which itis inferred to be simply a raid- ing party, similar to the one which visited Stony Creek last week, and that itis not pre- pared for a protracted and extensive expedi- tion. There are, however, those who fear it isa mobilized columr, destined to operate first against Weldon, and then, perhaps, to contin- ue its march and take Wilmington on the way. As at present informed, we are not prepared to express an opinion. We repeat accounts which reach us, and await future deyelop- ments. Later. ‘The latest information from the enemy on the Weldon Railroad, is, that they were still moy- ing towards Weldon, and were provided with such an amount of stores as to induce the be- liet that they were prepared for a long march, or, at all events, along absence. It is useless to speculate upon their plans, which will be fully known ina day ortwo. It is probable that the primary ebject ot the movement ‘was to occupy the road, or so injure it as to prevent our sending any reinforcements to our forces operating against Sherman's army. ' Grant’s Advance. {From Richmond Enquirer of the 9th.} On Tuesday night a heavy force of the en- emy’s infantry, attended by some artillery and cavalry, estimated at 10,000 strong, left the Petersburg front on a raid down the Jeru- salem plank road. They doubtless to strike the Weldon road, by way of the Sussex Court House pike, at Hicksford, and after de- stroying the bridge over the Mehberrin River, at that place, do other damage to the road, and commit other outrages generally. It is to be hoped that they will be brought to grief. Grant’s New Movement. The Petersburg Express of Thursday last, says:—They were reported yesterday morning at Proctor’s, some twenty miles distant, and still in motion. Elated by the success of the raid on Stony Creek, Grant Bas probably start- ed ont a larger and better equipped body of troops, on & similar expedition, further down the Weldon Railroad. That it is @ raiding party, we have little doubt, but its destination is unknown, save proven: at headquciters. This column is said to embrace large forces of infantry, with a quantum suffcit of artillery, and bunt asmall force of cavairy. If such is the case, we cannot think the expedition is destined for any distant point, asto venture far in the interior with infantry, almost alone, would render it exceedingly dangerous and hazardons. The March on Weld [From the Sentinel—Jeff. Davis’ organ.) Heavy columns of the enemy, composed of infantry, cavalry and artillery, left the front at Petersburg on Tuesday night, and moved out on the Jerasalem plank road, and on Wed- nesday morning they were reported at Proc- tor’s, twenty miles from Petersburg, and yes- terday at Jarrett’s, thirty-two miles from Pe- tersburg, on the Weldon road. This move is probably intended as a diversion to draw at- tention from more important demonstrations against Richmond, which it is bélieved Grant contemplates making. The indications are that the ene ays if they can use the canal at Dutch Gap, will make & combined land naval attack on the fortifications protecting the water approaches to Richmond, here is no partof our lines where we are better prepared to meet them, and we feel very confident that the resujt will be favorable to the Confederate cause. We have heard notn- ing further from Pickett’s front. It is sup- Posed the enemy took advantage of the fog to mut for torpedoes, of which they have a ‘wholesome dread, and thas the number of barges and men were greatly exaggerated. Persons trom the front, both north aad south of the James, report that the usual quiet prevaiis along the whole line. The Detch Gap Affair. From the Richmond Examiner, Dec. 9.} The jines of Richmond were unugually quiet On yesierday.. Scarcely & gun was heard, The story of our cotemporaries that the enemy was building a} bridge on this side of Dutch Gap was found to rest on & very slender foanda- tiop.

Lieutenant Colonel Ex. sit to Savannah, arrived 1 Charleston on Saturday afternoon, At ten o'clock on Sunday morning a flag of- truce boat steamed down the harbor, in charge of Lientenant Colonel Hatch, to the Outer bnoy, where he was met by Lieutenant Gol. change Burean, lately on Mulford. The interview of the Oommissioners Jaeted till 5 o'clock. ‘The Courier says arrangements were made for a continued exchange of prisoners off this harbor. Col. Mulford’s fleet, comprising some eight or ten vesse!s, are now lying outside of the harbor preparatory to receiving prisoners. Another flag of trace will go down on Tuesday with a number of Yankeeprisoners. A num- ber of offieers confined in Fort Pulaski will probably be exchanged and retarned to us at tbe same time. Under arrangements made with Col. Muiford there will be no shelling of the city during the stay of the Exchange Gom- missioner, which will probably be from two to three weeks. Col. Hatch bas already turned over to Col. Mulford, at Savannah, 5,509 pris- cnewmiend will exchange about 500 more at this poin Battle at Pecetalige. The Mercury says that passengers who sr- rived Sunday evening reported that a fi:bt wee going on somewhere near Pocotaligo, as they passed 'hatpoint, but no definite details in regard to the progress or result of the re- ported action could be gathered. Message of Governor Extra Billy Smith, @ Virginia. HE THINKS THE CRITICAL TIME HAS COME FOR THE CONFEDERACY—HE FAVORS ARMING THE SLAVES POR THE CONFEDERACY. On Thursday last, Extra Billy Smith, for- merly a member of our Congress, and now Governor of Virginia, sent in his annual m sage to the Virginia Legistature. The docu. Ment is a very long one, Andis printed in all the Richmond papers of Friday last. joy. Smith appears to be arguing through. his message for a wholesale conscription. G These men whom the Legislaiure may exempt from the Contederate service, -Smith prees, sehonid be pntinto the State service, and that Virginia should haye as large a force of “re. serves” as Georgia. For this purpose, hé says, “Trespectfully urge in this dark hour of our tortures that the entire male population ofour State msy be embodied for ‘he purpose of co- operating in our great strugg He teats at lengah upon the question of arm- ing theslaves. Hesays ‘‘all agree that when the question becomes one of liberty and inde- pendence on one hand or subjugation on the otber, that every means ithin our reach should be used to aid in our struggle and to baffle and thwart our enemy. “J say, every man will seree to this. No man would hesitate. Even if the resuit were to emancipate our slaves, there is not a@ man that would not cheerfally put the negro into the army rather than become a slaye bimeself to our bated and vindictive foe. It is then simply @ question of time. Has that time arrived when the issue is fairly beforeus? Is it indeed liberty and independence or subjuga- tion which is presented tous! The man must be blind to current events, to the gigantic pro- portions of this war, and to the proclamations of the enemy, who does not see that the issue ubove referred to is presented now, and I repeat, the only question is, has the time ar- Tived! “Are we able beyond question to wage a suc- cessful war against & power three times our own numbers, with ali Europe trom which to recruit, aud who unhesitatingly put arms in the hands ot ovr own negroes ior our destruce tion! I will not say that under the providence of God we may not be abie to triumph, but I do say that we should not from any mawkieh sensibility refuse any Mrans within onr mach which. will tend to enable us to work out our deliverance.” He then reviews the recent caucus of Sonth- ern Governors, and having stated that slavery is in the last stages of dissolution, he concludes the subject as follows :— “I am aware thata clamor has been raised against the policy of putting negroes into the army,- by good and loyal men, becanse they say the end is not yet, that our army of citizen soldiers is still competent to make good our defense. No one would advocate the policy of thus appropriating our slaves, except as a matter of urgent necessity, but as public opin- ion is widely divided on this subject, does not common prudence require us to fear that those oppoeed to this extreme measure may be mis- taken! Suppose it should so turn out, how deep would be their responsibility to the country, to freedom, and independence every- where. «J know it is the opinion of someof the high. est military authorities that the time has come when we should call our slaves to our assist- ance,and I hold itto be clearly the duty of every citizen, however much he may dount the ‘wisdom and necessity of the policy, to co-ope. rate in strengthening by every mef.ns our ar- mies. I repeat, I kuow this policy is looked to with anxiety by some of the ablest military men of the age, who believe t):at it is of the last importance that it should be adopted without delay. I, therefore, earnestly recommend the Legislature that they should give this subject earnest consideration, and enact such meas- ures as their wisdom may approve.” AMUSEMENTS. FORD'S NEW THEATER.
