THE SATUATION. trem ail the rumors which reach us to-day it Would sevm that the position of General Grant is Not «nite as secure as his recent occupation of the capital of Mi-sis-ippi, after a succession of victo- tics at Raymond, Mississippi Springs, and Jackson itse'f, might lead us to suppose it was. There ap- peurs to be an evident intention on the part of the encmy to withdraw their forces—as far as it can be done with safety—from various points, and to concentrate them on Jackson and Vicksburg. Thus we learn that the rebels at Shelbyville have been sent off either tv support Pemberton at the latter place, or tv retake Jschson. A rumor prevailed in Mur- freeshoro that Gen. Bragg was quietly withdraw- ing his men from the front and sending them to Jacl'son. Then comes the news from Cincinnati yesterdvy evening that Gen. Grant had evacuated Jackson after destroying the State House and the rel Lstores. StorieSof the abandonment of that city by Gen, Giant also comes from other sources, but nothing definite is stated as to the time, the manner, or the cause of that movement. The rebel journals exult over the suspicion that Grant is caughtinatrap. The Mobile Register insinuates that the victorious advances of the Union army in the Sonthwest have received a permanent check. It threatens Grant with the advance of Joe John- ston, and predicts that the flag of the confederacy may cre long float again over New Orleans. The Chattanooga Rebel speculates upon the failure of Gen. Burnside’s plans in East Tennessee, and thinks that the mountains will prove an insuperable barrier to his advance. A Knoxville journal says that ten Union regiments heve advanced on Cumberland Gap; but it does not say from what point. The whole tone of the rebel press shows that they are anticipating the defeat of General Grant and the guccess of General Bragg’s plans to induce General” Rosecrans to advance from his secure position at Murfreesboro. From points farther West, in Arkansas, we have intelligence of several successful reconnoissances by our troops, the destruction of rebel stores and the capture of several prisoners. General Hooker's army remains in the old situa- tion on the Rappahannock. No moves nor rumors of moves. The full returns of the killed, wounded and miss- ing of the Third arnf¥ corps (General Sickles’) in the battle of Chancellorsville have been forwarded tous; but, owing to our limited space and the fact that we have already published the names in various forms and at different times, compels us now to omit the publication of the complete re- port. We shall, however, keep it on file for refe- rence. The promptness with which this volumi- nous report, arranged, asit is, in regiments, bri- gades and divisions, has been made up, reflects great credit on the capacity and skill of Licute- nant Colonel 0. H. Hart, the Assistant Adjutant | General of the Third corps. If such capacity were promptly shown by every Adjutant General throughout the United States, the fate of every | soldier in the army who has fallen would easily be ascertained, not only within a few days of his | os ee TRAD 5 ft NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, MAY 21, | @lemen who now infest the country might be foil- ed in their attempts to interfere with the legiti- mate business of the trade.

The consequence, therefore, is that the whole thing has resulted in a flasco. The Commissioners of Emigration passed a re- } | solution yesterday endorsing the investment of | $20,000 more of the Commutation Fund in five-twenties. The standing committees of the Board were re-elected for another year, The re turos of the emigration for the week show that | 6,242 landed last week, making 38,720 since Janua- ry 1, against 14,231 to the corresponding period last year. *On Monday last 3,500 emigrants arriy- ed here, which was the largest number ever land- ed in one day since Castle Garden depot was insti- tuted.

The favors we owe we should then right France would find our naval assistance a matter of moment, as would Eng- land, no doubt. We can nover forget or for- give the course pursued by the government of her Britannic Majesty against us, The open en- couragement given to our rebellious sub- jects, the seers and jeers of England’s peers and lords, ani of her press, rankle in our hearts, und will continue to smart and wound until the score is wiped away. We are not astonished to find the rotien aristocracies of Eng- land and o! Europe siding against us. We felt assured they would; but we also feel assured treatment of the insane. To-day. they will visit the Asylum for the Insane on Blackwell's Island, and also the private establishment of a similar character at Flushing, Long Island. 4 rs At the meeting of the Board of Education last evening the subject of appropriating $37,139 for the erection of a new schoolhouse in the Seventh ward was referred. After this the routine busi- ness of the Board proceeded, and was continued till they adjourned. Emil Gerralino, an Italian wine dealer, of No. 17 North William street; was taken into custody yesterday, by Captain Jourdan and officer Golden, of the Sixth precinct, on charge of passing coun- terfeit “fives” on the Bank of America upon se- veral of his customers. The accused was held for examination by Justice Dodge. General Burnside has modified Order No. 66, and has concluded to allow all persons of known loy- alty, notwithstanding their close relationship to rebels in arms aguinst the country, to remain un- molested on this side of the lines. Since the capture of the capital of Mississippi, we are a little curious to learn what has become of the wandering Memphis-Granada-Jackson Ap- 1. a aiaraay was a day of panic in the stock market. The active railway shares fe!l 6 a i2 per cent, and the indica- tions at the close were that the decline was not over yet. G vernments were steady. Gold was dull at last quota- tions. Exchange was inactive at 163% a164. M@hey was. in very active demand at seven per cent. Cotton continued very dull yesterday, with middlings as low as bic. a S5c, There was more inc y for bread- stuffs and provisions, the former at generally higher prices and the latter at partially reduced rates. ‘Lhe main busi- ness in groceries was travsacted in gugars, which were steady, Whiskey fell to 43‘,¢, a d4c., with a moderate demand. Free sales of currants, tallow, hiay and petro- le:m were effected, while iu hides, metals, seeds and naval stores transactions were quite limited, The demand for fiz and bemfock sole leather was fair, The freight mar- ket was heavy, with much restricted engagements. The auction sale of domestic cottons, though attended by a large crowd of buyers, was comparatively spiritless, and such lote as were sold changed hands at decidedly easier prices, The New Complications in Europe. The replies made by the Russian govern- ment through its Minister of Foreign Affairs, Prince Gortchakoff, to France and Eng- land, published exclusively in this jour- nal, are certainly the most important poli- tical documents which have appeared since the days of Napoleon the Great. The tone of these replies proves that the Emperor of the French is recognized by the great Powers as the main head and spring of all the revolutionary movements which are now agi- tating Europe. He is denounced as such by Prince Gortchakoff, who seems to demand from England aid in putting down this revolu- tionary spirit. In fact, it may fairly be said that a great and wonderful change has been ef- fected in Europe lately through the influonce of Russia. She has won Austria over to her views upon the Polish question, and has caused her to break away from France at a moment when Napoleon the Third deemed her an ally. Rus- sia has certainly made an offensive and defen- sive alliance with Prussia, and now she is making every effort to convince England that the only hope for peace in Europe consists in defeating the schemes and machinations of that revolutionary party which bas chozen Poland as the field of its present labors, but which cer- tainly intends the oyerthrow of all the existing Powers in Europe in their turn, save, of course, that of France, where, as Prince Gort- chakoff plainly hints, sits enthroned the arch agitator, the head of the revolutionary party. Ruasia will no doubt succced in making a coalition against Napoleon IIL; in fact, she has already made one, England will not aid him materially against Rusia and Prassia any more | than she would lend him an armed force in Mexico. Austria will not aid Napoleon, be- cause it is her interest to keep her hold upon that share of Poland which she grasped at the | fall, but also at the end of centuries. | The cavalry of General Milroy bad a skirmish with the rebels on Tuesday six miles from Win- chester, Va., in which they killed six and took seven prisoners, Our troops continued to pur- gue the enemy at last accounts. The expedition sent out out from Suffolk under Colonel Foster is reported to have entirely suc- | cceded in its mission, The damages on the Sea- brook and Roanoke Railroad have been repaired. Much fear for the safety of Richmond appears ‘to be entertained by some of the journals of that city. They admit that its capture would be a ter- rible blow to the rebel cause, and they urge that a Strong defensive force should be called out of its eesidents, from sixteen to sixty, to protect it from @uch dangers as imperiled the city during Stone- man’s raid. Mr. Vallandigham was put on board a ganboat @f the lovee in Cincinnati, on Tuesday evening, to be conveyed to Fort Warren.

A deoply interesting cetemony was performed yesterday afternoon in the churchyard of Trinity Dharch, on the occasion of the restoration of the tomb-tone and inscription over the remains of William Bradford, the father of printing in this ountry, who printed the first Bible and Book of mmon Prayer, eabliched the first newspaper in the city the New York Garetfe—and who was Vaterrod thers in 1762 ! Tt was announced thata convocation of batehers see different Sections of the country was to have hold Mm this city yesterday, for the Purpose ‘of adopting @ uniforth system in purchasing live Mook, whereby the army of speculators and mid. period when that ill-fated country was divided between herself, Russia and Prussia. Napoleon has one recourse against Austria: he can lend armed aid to Italy; but at any moment Austria can check this move of his by gracefully ceding Venetia to the Italians, thereby ridding herself \ ofa great expense and depriving Napoleon of a means of enforcing from Italy any armies to join him in his campaigns against the Czar, should he dare undertake any. Such a step on | the part of Austria would vastly embarrass Napoleon, who would thus lose all hold upon Victor Emanuel, and would no doubt find him- self forced to evacuate Rome. He could not, | when Austria had ceded Venetia, continue his hold apon the capltal of Italy. It may fairly be said that at the present moment the posi- | tion of the Emperor Napoleon is a most preca- tious one; for, added to the menacing propor- tions assumed by the complications of the Polish question, must be taken into consideration the | failure of the Mexican expedition and the grow- | jng power of the opposition in France. There is one course left open to Napoleon | IIL which would rid him of his most | enemy, and allow him all latitude for the fur- therance of those revolutionary schemes which are to chaage the whole aspect of Europe. Let him use bis best efforts to produce a cessa- | tion of the war in this country. Let him per- suade the Southerners that they have no hope of a European recognition; that their onty chance for future prosperity is a reconstruction of the Union, to which they must sooner o later submit, as the people of the North will never cease the war unt!! that object is attained Let him use his influence, we repeat, to accom- plish « cessation of the war, and then the Un'ted States would rid him of bis present Mexican imbroglio. We could pay all his de- mands against that country that were fair and just, and silow him to retire from this con- tineat with no loss of prestige and power. that sooner or later the tables will be turned, and then we shall have our fling.at these time- honored governments which bave #0 bespat- } texed with their foul and malicious abuse the ‘aa. yet young and fresher institutions of this | country. Were Napoleon the wise man he is accounted he would ata glance seo the great benefits to accrue to him by a peace in this coun- try, and be would at once cause the rebels to understand that from him they need expect no aid. Alliod to this country, Napoleon need no longer fear England. He could then prose- cute his plans in Europe. We would see to it that England kept quiet. We should not tolerate her interference in the affairs of other nations; we should expose hor deocit to the world, and prove that, whereas she is ever prat- ing about the welfare of nations, she is the real enemy'of progress and civilization, which she is ever retarding by her schemes and machina- tions. Her own‘advancement, and the constant injury of all other nations, is the creed of that country which the French have so aptly named “Perfide Albion.” ; Governor Seymour's Recent Lerrer.—The letter of Governor Seyinour to the Albany in- dignation meeting on the arrest of Vallandig- ham, of Ohio, shows that he bas not yet been able to rise above the partisan and take a statesmanlike view of public questions. The position that Mr. Seymour now holds; “as the Governor of this the most important State of the Union, is not that of a partisan who sees only his party, and bases his public acts on the welfare of that party, in times like the present especially. The vole for the Governor of the State of New York to perform is that of a states- man, aman placing himeelf above the politi- cian, viewing and considering all public ques- tions in referenge to the welfare of the country, and then acting boldly and fearlessly. The principle laid down in his letter is the correct and truv doctrine; but, unfortanately, his mode of handling the question has left him so open to criticism that such republican journals as the Post wnd Tribune, that denounce the viola- tion of that doctrine, very justly criticise the letter of Seymour as a partisan affair. The Governor has higher and greater duties to per- form than those of a politician. Now is the time for him to prove whether he is a statesman or not. These are the days that show the metal that our public men are made of. Wax or Tue Petricoats.—We understand that Miss Ann (not Dan.) Dickinson is about to be confronted in the political arena by an oppo- nent of her own sex. Thut patriotic little lady, Teresa Esmonde, who was so instrumental in stirring up the military ardor of our Irish fel- low citizens at the commencement of the rebel- lion, indignant at her rampant abolitionism and abuse of McClellan, proposes to meet her in a public discussion and to iay her out flat. The scene will be a tremendously exciting one. The combative qualities of the fair Ann are sufficiently attested. The little Irish woman has, on the other hand, a glib tongue, plenty of spunk and a long following. Hore is a good chance for backers. Let all the smart young fellows go in. Condition of the National Finances. Wasuixetow, May 20, 1863. The Washix«gton Rep@blican to-day announces, evl- dently by acthority, that up to this time the subscrip- tions to the five-twenty lous oxceed one hundred million of dollars. This fact will for the present avoid tho neces- sity for any new loan. The Sccretary of the Treasury ts willing to receive sub- soriptions to this loan from foreigners upon the same terms as from citizens of the United States. He has no idea at present of seeking any other pecuniary aid abroad. It (8 not true that Mr. Walk: er, or any other person, has been authorized to negotiate a loan for the goverument abroad, The re- eources of tbe government are amply sufficient for all ite purposes. About one millionand a half of dollars are realized weekly from the interna! revenue, and our finan- cial affairs were nover in a more healthy condition, ‘There are now no claims agaiust the government, which have been adjusted and properly certiGed, that are un- paid, All such claims are promptly liquidated as goon as they reach the Treasury Dopartment.

William Bradford was of tho veriry of Trinity chureh from 1703 to 1710, and om that account ha@ some claim on tha venerable institution. Ho waa the first who, im the American oolonies, printed. and published the Bible and the Book of Common Prayer; and that fact gavo bim a double claim on the charch and on the American poople, There- tore it was that the pious act of restoring his tombstone was rozlved:upon by the vestry of Trinity church, This ceremony was. porforined yesterday afternoon, im the presence of several: hundred persous, comprising: many of the mombers, agd the secretary of the Now Fort Historical Society; also several gontiemen from Philadel- pia, who were apocialiy in attendance, . It opened with tho colebraticn of ovening service at the church, in whiek the rector and all the assistant clergymon took part.
