The feverish egitation for a war with the United States, which disaffected Great Britain lately, had completely subsided. It was announced in the underwriters’ rooms in Liverpoo] that the cargoes of the American ships Nora, Louisa Hatch and Charles Hill, which were destroyed by the Alabama, were owned by and consigned to English subjects. Loud calls were made on the Cabinet of England, urging instant action in the matter. Rebel agents in Paris had proposed a scheme of a second cotton loan for the Confederates, to the extent of five millions of pounds sterling; but the Messrs. Rothschild refused to negotiate it.

Some days since we published a map of the newly discovered regions. We will produce in the W .Y Heratp—to appear on Satur- day—tbis map, improved by data received by the last steamer, the Persia; also additional details, which will appear with the interesting accounts we have already published of this great discovery. THE SITUATION. Up to noon yesterday no advices touching any late movements of the army before Vicksburg had All stories of ‘sand repulses of Grant’s army are totally ited. it is stated in despatches from Cincinnati yester- day, by way of Cairo, that the base of our lines extends from right to left on the Mississippi, from Yazoo to the lower part of Vicksburg, over six miles in the rear of the rebels and east of the city. We hold undisputed possession of every- thing between the Black river bridge and sixty feet of hills in the rear of the rebel army. At the s General Frank Blair's division had started for the Big Black river bridge. His desti- nation was unknown. Admiral Porter sends an official report to the Secretary of the Navy of the proceedings of the gunboats at Vicksburg, acting in co-operation with General Grant's army, Admiral Porter also sens a despatch relative to the loss of the gun- boat Cincinnati. She endured a tremendous fire from the rebel batteries, and went down in shoal water with her flag still flying. The progress of our forces around Port Hudson is very favorable. The siege goes on well, with every prospect of success. Our correspondence by the steamer Cromwell, from New Orleans, gives a very fuM account of the movements there up to the 27th. The New Orleans journals of the 2sth, however, furnish the latest news from that poi been received by the government. tii ~ It ‘ < Sas omttatly x2ajan Washingtor was officially ROY <e f g' . yesterday that the rebel privateer coma was off Cam- peachy on the 12th ult. ¢” G excitement exists in Chicago in conse- que press the 7 ios of that city.

The candidates in opposition to the government of the Emperor were numerous, firm in attitude and highly popular. The list includes the names of MM. Thiers, Odillon Barrot and Ernest Baroche. M. de Persigny had addressed a letter to the Prefect of the Seine, in which he de- nounces M. Thiers to the electors, as being ‘“‘con- nected with the enemies of the Emperor.” The Polish révolution was again extending. The accounts lately received of an insurrection in Volhynia, Podolia and that part of the Ukraine watered by the Dnieper are confirmed. The insur- gents had fortified themsélves in the town of Lubar, which they had rendered inaccessible by cansing the overflow of the river Sloutch. They were commanded by M. Dunin, an officer of great merit. The authorities in Poland are forming bands of peasants in the Western provinces of Russia ‘for the protection of per- sons and for keeping open the communica- tions.” This is thought to mean that the Russian government is endeavoring to rouse the peasants of the old Polish provinces against their landlords, and if its efforts are successful we may hear of mas- sacres all over the land. Battles had been fought and victories gained on both sides. The insurgent corps under Wymouski, Zapolowicz and Cziriwen- ski have been completely defeated.

The Corporation offers to sell the right to con- atruct a passenger and freight railway along the levee front of the city, and also through two of the principal streets, connecting the Mississippi river with the basin or harbors of Lake Pont- chartrain. This is a fine chance for Law, Van- derbilt and the other aspirants for the control of a railroad through our Broadway. They can now buy the right to build a paying road in New Orleans without having to disburse a cent to lobby agents. All they have to do is to call upon Col. Thorpe, City Surveyor of New Or- leans, at the Metropolitan Hotel, to-day, and settle the matter at once. We hope that the Corporation of this city and the Legislature of this State will take a hint from the New Orleans authorities wher they have ‘another railway privilege to dispose of, and advertise it for sale, either ata fair price or to the highest bidder, instead of giving it away for nothing to those who pay the largest fees to lobbyists. Spapes Trumrs.—The various reports from Vicksburg agree that General Grant has deter- mined to resort to the spade and regular ap- roaches, after having in vain hurled his brave troops against the onemy’s works. Hooker found the spade @xceedingly useful in bis re- treat from Chancellorsville, in proyenting that t from b & complete disaster. wie oe sea and Hooker ridiculed General McClellan for using the wud at York- town, though it had the effect of causing its evacuation without loss of life. When so brave a general as Hooker, leading “‘the best army on the planet,” finds the spade necessary, and when Grant, a braver and far better general, is compelled to fall back upon it, the superiority of McClellan’s judgment in war is thus duly acknowledged@and the miserable character of the petty warfare against him fully exposed.
