THB OPPOSITION TO THE ADMINISTRATION GAINING STRENGTH—THE HOWSE AND SECRETARY GUTHRIE —LAMENTATION OF THE UNION, BIO. (FACIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THR NEW YORK HERALD. ‘Wasnincron, Deo. 15—9 P. M. Tho Senate resolution making the office of Assistant Seeretary of the Treasury a Presidential appointment gave rise toa spicy debate im the House to-day. Mr. Hibbard, of New Hampshire, is duly installed as the administration leader; and although he opened the session with great success he already finds members getting refractory. The administration party desire to. have the resolution made prospective in its character; but the true friends of the President cannot think of thus indirectly reflecting upon him, NThey cannot consent to have it go to the world that Gen. Pierce is not fit to be entrusted at once with the appointing of even an assistant ‘secretary. It is a fight of the Guthrie-Maroy portion of the Cabinet against the President, and we predict the success of the latter, hy the passage of the resolution in the shape it was reported from the Senate. The question is now fairly before the House, and the friends of the Cabinet declare the passage of the resolution will be tantamount to a vote of censure: From all the appearances here, as well as the unreserved conversations of Senators and members, it is evident that the opposition to the administration is daily growing more formidable. The Union continues to rave and threa- tenSemators who: had the independence to vote against ft.

For want of organization, the Cabinet fuglemsn, Mr, Hibbard, spiurg ® march upon them at the opening of ‘the session; but the battle was only deferred, not pre- vented.

Mr. Camroett, (F 8. whig) of Ohio, asked Me.

Mr. Ricuanpson did not see the applicability of the question. ‘Mr. Tay1og, (whig) of Ohio, like other gentlemen who participated in the debate, eloquently spoke in favor of the purchase.

They, however, did not meet their friends, as expected, and their situation may be imagined as well as described, Two hun¢ret and seventeen, men, women, and children, thus left to go about the atrects, not knowing where to eat. sleep, or rtore away their clothing, &s.

Divisions of the English and French fleets have em- tered the Black Sea. Turkey has a large squadron there; and operations om the water, as well as on land, promise to be on the most extensive scale. Meanwhile, we are te soe what the treaty betweem England and France, made on the 18th ult., wilhaccomplish. Along the Danube, military operations on an extensive scale were prevented by unfavorable weather; bat com” tinual skirmishing was going on between tho eutpests of the two armies. Im Asia the success of the Turks was um interrupted.

THE WAR IN THE EAST, Our Lendon Despatch. AUTHENTIC AND IMPORTANT INTELLIGENOE—~TER ULTIMATUM OF ENGLAND AND FRANCE, ETO. Lownon, Friday, Des. 2, 1863, The last attempt of Austria to effect « reconciliation between Rassia and Turkey has failed. On the léth Nev, the Council of Ministers of the Sultan unanimously re- jepted the new note prepared by England and France, bat which was concocted at Vienna, Austria’s neutralised position induces her to renew her endeavors to procure @ Peace, £0 as to pravert a European war, from which she would be sure to suffer. A Congress is now spoken of, af which all the Powers, including Tarkey and Russia, are te be represented. If we cast an eye, however, from the dusky bureaus of ciplomacy to the battle field of actual life along the shores of the Danube—if we examine for a moment tha exited feclines of an outraged people clothed with a first success and moreover listen to the voice of the peopie in the streets of Constantinople, the Prospect of a solution of the war by = Europea Oxngress becomes thin ass veil of mist, It is true that, owing to a cessation of hostilities on a large scale—ia conrequence of the rains and the state of the marshy grounds on either side, but more especially on the Walla- chian or left side of the Danube—the moment may be re garded as favorable for negitiation Itis, however, em- ployed by both belligerent Powers in making every pre. paration for attack and defence for the first opportune moment. The Sultan has publicly announced his intem- tion to proceed to the reat of war in the spring—reinforee- ments are swarming to the camp, and a host of armed Russians is assembling. Thave just been informed that England and France hawe tent a joint ultimatum to Russia, stating that if not accepted the combined fleets will commence operations in the Black Sem, We have received very authentic information from the Danube. Ihave at this moment letters on my table fremm men on the spot whose statements cannot be questioned, First, then, the withdrawal of the Turks to Schumla, as stated, is not true. From strategical reasons the Turks recrossed at Oltenitza; but they are very strongly em- trenched at Kalefat—24,000 strong. Kalefat is just im front of Widdia—s strong fortress, the key to Little Wallachia. Ismail Pagha commands there. His ava garde of 1,200 horse is advanced a league beyond, om the high road to Krajowsa. The Russian General, Fischbach, ia posted with his division on the road betwecm} Krajowa and Kalefat, so that « battle of outposts mag take place atany moment, weather permitting. Skis” mishes do take place daily all along the line from Wid- din toIbroilow. The Turks have also possession of mang of the itlands inthe Danube, They have. three streng batteries on the island opposite the mouth of the river Argisch, near Oltenitza. They have anothér battery close to the Danube near Rutschuk; one of the guns there is of great calibre, and sends balls into and yond the town of Giurgeva. It is said that Prince Gor: achikoff lost @ son at the battle of Oltenites, All the troops in Poland have been ordersd to march. Prines Paskiewitsch will take the commsnd-in-chief of,the Ras sian army in the spring. These regiments will be replaced by others from the North. The Russians are very um- popular at Bucharest and throughout the Denubiam Principalities. Gortachikoff bas issued orders to flog ang person speaking ill of the Russian army of oecupation, Some ladies having ventured to censure the acts of the troops at a ball, the gallant Prince hinted that seme ladies of very high rank had been knouted im Poland fer a similar offenee, and recommended them to be quiet, Against their wili he is incorporating the whole of the Wall- lachian militia, by detachments, into the Russian army, and compels them thus to fight against their lawfell | sovereign. An addition to the existing complications has arisen ia Servia, A glance at the map will show you that Servia might prove a great annoyance to Turkey if it declared for Russia. [t is placed between Bosnia and Bulgaria. ‘The Sultan has called upon Prince Alexander of Servia, to give up the neutral position he has hitherte maintaia- ed, and to declare himself for one party or the other, Russia’s agents are at work in Servia. The Prince refased to declare’ himself, and, moreover, declined permission toa Tarkish body of troops to pass through his territe- ries, The Tarkish Governor of Brlerate, Inset Pacha ordered the Servian gover:nment to notify the Russiag consul to withdraw from the city, or the alternative eg beholding the Rusrian fiag shot down and their towm bombarded. The Raseian consul at first stoutly refused to go, but,was finally induced to haul down his flag, and hoisted it beyond the range of the guns of the fortress, Iszet Pacha was not satisfied with this; he intimated that, as the Russian consul was tampering with the Servian government, if he did not leave the Sorviag territory by the 18th November he should regard Servig ‘as & bottile territory, and commence hostilities. There sult was that on the day mentioned the Russian Osegg General packed up his traps and crossed to the Aw fortress of Semlin, orly separated from Belgrade by Danube, where he can have the satisfaction of lookta his irate friend Izset,through telescope, The Ra Crar is, they say, fariqus at this treatment of hia ‘ropes sentatives. Notwithstanding the refusal of the Serviaa goveram to allow Turkish troops to pass through the Secvian
