Considerable activity prevailed yesterday in all the departments at Washington, which was looked upon as preliminary to 2 general forward move- ment of our armies. The advance of the rebels into Pennsylvania, and the consequent surrender of Chambersburg, is looked upon in the capital only as a movement to eover the retreat of the mase of Gen. Lee’s army to Richmond. Despatches from Williamsport and Harrisburg yesterday state that the rebels were also crossing the Potomac at Dam No.6, near Clear Spring, and entering Pennsyi- vania by Bluir’s Valley. It may possibly be, how- ever, the same party (Stuart's cavalry) which is referred to, the crossing being located at two different points. We have despatches from Chambersburg up to elever o'clock last night. All wa& quict there at that time. The rebeis had advanced towards Get- tysburg, and were supposed to be bound for Frede- rick. While on their route to Gettysburg the farmers in that vicinity made a stand and captared one of their advance guard.

After disposing of some preliminary matter, the rebellion resolution was taken up. Drs. Howe and Mchan sustained the debate. No vote has yet been taken, The Convention ad!ourn- ed till Monday. It is understood that « similar debate sadly affects the dignity of the upper House of Bishops, whose deliberations are held within closed doors. , Tho Board of Supervisors met yesterday at ten o'clock, Supervisor Breeze in the chair, for the purpose of selecting inspectors and registrars of election. Supervisor Purdy moved that where there wore two republican inspectors and one de- mocrat appointed, the democrat have the selec- tion of the clerk; and that where two democrats and one republican were appointed as inspectors, the republican have the same privilege. This was agreed to, and the board proceeded with the busi- ness before them. Having reached the Highicenth ward, an adjournment was had until to-morrow, at eleven o'clock.

We publish to-day a higily interesting and important correspondence of Napoleon, Thou- venel, his Minister for Foreign Affairs, and his Ambassador to Rome, the Marquis de Lavalette, TLe subject is the Roman question, which, like the Gordian’ knot, never can ve solved but by the sword. If is plain that the Pope does not intend to yield an inch, and never will yield but upon the application of physical force. It is equally plainthat Napoleon does not wish bim to yield, nor desire the question to be set- led, but kept open, that it may be a continual running sore to weaken Italy and prevent that unity and consolidation of power which would render her a dangerous rival fo France. He will not solve it himseif, as he easily couid, nor will he permit! the Italian people to solve it, as they soon would. His object isio keep Italy like a house divided against itself. Napoleon’s position is entirely illogical; bat he regards the importance of maintaining it as paramount to the maintenance of consistency. He proposes to reconcile things that are incom- patible—to give liberty to the subj. Pope, and at the same time to preserve the temporal sovereignty and independence of the Pontiff, and to guarantee to him the territory he now actually holds if he will relinquish all claim upon that which he has ost. The Pope's eovereignty is as a te as that of Napoleon himself. How, then, ean the sub- his Holiness be tree? And why docs Napoleon desire for the Pope's subjects a free. doz which he will not give his own? All tiat Napoleon cou!d legitimately do for the subjects of the Pope is to let nt choose their own des- tiny, and tg decide without constraint whether they will have the Pope or Yictor Emanuel to reign over them. Napoleon is Emperor by the vote of the French people. To be consistent with hie own antecedents and the traditions of the Napoleon dynasty, he ought to let the sub. jeets of the Pope cetermine who is to be their sovereign in future. If he would only with- ie troops trom Italy. where he contianes to keep them, contrary to the law of nations, the Roman qneation would very speedily settle iiself, But he will do no auch thing. ‘To settle it. or allow it to be settled, might be dangerous to his snpremacy in Western Burope. He de- ires to hold in -check the young kingdom hose hereditary warlike character and the recent development of its martial epirit, toge- ther with the ardent desire for unity from the Alps to the Adriatic, have caused him great m.

The population of ¢ Italian kingdom is equal to the white popula- tion of the American republic, North and South, The race has lost none of its wonderful energy and vitality. From its central geographical situation aud its peninsular position—indeed, almost insular, considering that the Alps on the west and north present as great a@ barrier to in- vasion as the sea—and from its maritime capa- i ocluding the two magnificent islands y aud Sardinia, it is calculated to rival, © excel, both France and Great Britain as a great military and commercial nation. In- deed, there was 4 time when Venice, one of Italy's e:nallest States, ruled the waves aad the empire of commerce. Venice does not yet be- long to the kingdom of Ttaly; ii is still in pos- session of Anstria, Napoleon having designediy left the conquest imperfect, in order to prevent the completion of Italian unity, But he lnows well that, unless he interferes to prevent it, Rome and Venetia must ere long be added to the dominions of Victor Emanuel. Ali Europe, with the exception of Austria and France, would rejoice at this result. But Napoleon, with his farseeing sagacity, is determined to cripple the growth and development of young Italy.

But we do not see why there should be any surprise whatever in regard to this affair. The good ford over the Potomac at: Hancock was left unguard- ed, the country between that point and Cham. bersburg was left open and unobstructed, the coast was clear, and Stuart dashed in. He wanted horges and blankets, and medicines. and shoes, &¢.; and he has doubtless carried off quite a desirable lot of these valuable articles, Governor Curtin, while the hungry and ragged rebel army of Gen. Lee remained near the northern end of the valley of the Shonandoch, should have kept at least ten thousand of his home guards at Chambersburg. Now that his horses have been stolen he will probably lock the stable door. It is the old story. We sug- gest, however, that the shoriest way to put an , end to these horse steating forays of General Stuart is to muster Governor Curtin’s seventy. five thousand men, and move them down to a combiued advance with Gen. McClellan upon the rebel army near Winchester. Why not use the means, when we have them, for a decisive settlement with these rebels? Religious Intelligence, CITY CHURCHES TO-DAY.

Tho woman Curran, itis alleged, was at that timo living with Win- throp as bis mistross. 4 Ann Davis As tho Oirst witness called. She had lived in the same house with the prisoner and the deceased for two weeks preceding the death of the woman. She teaif- ted that during the three days previvus to the woman Curran being removed trom tho house by her friends she had been very sick, aud the woman Flonora Morrissey om many vecasions gave the deceased ss much as three or four es of the mixture in the course of an hour; she did not see the man Winthrop give ner any «tiquor, al- though he brought it in and mixed it; the liquor was carefully locked, and tne only parties having access to it were the prisoners; the woman Morrissey hid on several occasions to ask Winthrop for the key win she wishediio give Catharine Curran some of the liquor. Cross-examined—James Winthrop’s was a lodging an@ liquor store; did not notice wuether Honora served cus- tomers (rom the same bottle out of which she gave the deceased some liquor; the deceased had the horrors several times, end oiten asked Honora to give hor some fiquor. Mary Aun Daley, a sister of the deceased, was them called to tho stand; hud been acquainted with the pris- ouer about threv months before her sister's death; he lived in Wator strect, almost opposite Winthrop’s house; Winthrop came over constantly to try and persuade her atster to yo und live with him as landiady or mistress; when her sister went to live with him Honora loft and atayed away about month, and then returned to live with him; she had seen the prisouer Winthrop pull ber sister into Lis house by the bair of her head on the Sun- day previous to her death; ste had been called in when her sister was taken ill, aud went over to sce her; found peechless on ‘tne bed, her lips being very much parched; she cailed a doctor in to see her sister, and then removed her irom Winthrop’s to ber owa house.

Catharine Connor, being cailed, said she lived with the last witness, and nad known her deceased sister for twe years, and lived with tho prisonor Winthrop one week; had never seou Wiathrop abuse the deceased, Dut heard Honora 6ay she would bo revenged, as she was ty before Catharino Curran went to live with Winthrop; the deceased aud Winthrop occapied the same dur- ing the time witness lived there.

Dr. Lvuter, who made the post mortem examination, testified buat he had taken out the contents of the de- ceased’s stomach and given them a cherist for ana- lysis: from tue appearance of the stomach he judged that decersed was & woman of very intemperate habits. Ellen Collics testilied that the decoased’s habits wore rather inte:nperate; had seen Winthrop drag the doceused toto his basement by tue hair of head about five O’clock on the Sunday afternson previous to her death, Augustus Wolfot was next put on the stand—Was cbewiist by protession; had received a stomach fcom De.
