To foil his strategy and to demolish his crippled army is the present task of Meade, and one which we believe he will fully accomplish. Should he be success- ful in destroying the remnant of Lee’s army, he will have contributed in an eminent degree to bring the war to a speedy con- clusion.

In reply to the representations made by the British Minister, that this trade was a per- fectly legitimate one, and that there was a widely spread impression that it was the inten- tion of the American government, by captures without cause, by delays ef adjudication, and by the wanton imprisonment of the masters and crews of captured vessels, to put a stop to it altogether, Mr. Seward repudiates al! such do- signs and dispositions on the part of the United States, and states that every seizure that has been made since last autumn has been made under the legal instructions of the Secretary of the Navy, announced in his note to the British Minister of the 8th of August last. It wiil be remembered that Lord Palmerston, in the House of Commons, expressed his satisfaction at the perfectly fair and just character of those instructions. Mr. Seward exposes the object for which the complaints on which Lord Lyons’ note vis’ founded are got up, and very properly adds that, as it cannot be assumed by the United States nor conceded by Great Britain that all the vessels ostensibly trading between a British port and Matamoros are unlawfully engaged, 50 it cannot be claimed by Great Britain nor con- ceded by us that some British vessels may not be fraudulently engaged in that ostensible trade in conveying supplies to the insurgents of the United States. All that the American gov- ernment can do is to refer the trial of every fact and question of law to a court recognized by the law of nations, no one of whose judgments has as yet’ been complained of by the British I had yesterday tho honor to receive your lordship's Geapatchos of the 24h ultimo, containing instructious with respect to the cases of the Peterboif and the Dolphin, eud to Mr, Adama’ loiter granting 4 safe conduct to Ma- Having seat in to Mr. Seward notes drawn up in con- formity with those instructions, went to the State De- partment to speak to him on the subject of the impression which prevails in England that it is the intention of the United States government to put a stop, by vexatious , to tho British trade with Matamoros. 1 toid Mr. seward that I was specially directed by your lordship 40 make the sentiments of ber Majesty’s govera- ment ag to this matter clearly and distinctly understood by him, and that in order to do this,1 would, with bis permission, read to him 4 memorandum which I| had ought with me of tho instructions I had received that morning from your lordship. Mr. Seward ‘having assented, I read to him tho memo. ramdum of which [have tne honor wo enclose acopy. It is founded on your Lordship’s despatch of the 24th ultimo. The first paragraph of the despatch is omitted, and at the boginning of the socond paragraph the words “in Engiand” are substituted for the word ‘here,’ and the words ‘*the recont oases’ for the words ‘all those cases.”’ In all other respects the memorandum is a transcript of the despatch. Mr. Seward asked me to send him a copy of the memo- randum, and said that he wus confident that he should be able'to give satisfactory assurances on all the points mentioned in tt. I promised at once tosend Mr. Seward the copy, and aid thot [should have great pleasure in transmitting to her Majesty’s goverament the assurances which he led me to expect. I deemed it right, however, to observe that I thought that some decided practical steps were necessary to do away with the impresswa which the recent pro- Ceodings of the United States cruizers had produced. Mr. Seward had,I said, before these proceedings took place, communicated to us very eatistactory instructions which he bad conveyed to the Navy Department, but those instructions were apparently eet at aoughs by the naval officers. Mr. Seward repliod that it was impossible to guard against all evils beforohand by general inatructions. Only experience could show whero ee rebe reaby were. Teaid thas the point appeared to me tomako seyrtiaais clcere Gat the effects of the di of the government when they violated neutral rights. It was not likely shat the naval officers would pay much Atlontion to assurances given by the goverumeat to foreign Powers, nor could it be expected that they would even rogard formal tustructions to themscivos if they A special meeting of the Board of Aldermen was called for half-past one o'clock yesterday. It was thought that it had some connection with the formidable movement on the part of the people, who had turned out in large numbers for the pur- pose of resisting the draft. The Board, however, did not organize, for want of a quorum. The Board of Councilmen did not organize last evening, for want of a quorum. The coal dealers of Philadelphia on the 10th instant held a meeting and resolved to sell coal at the prices ruling previous to the suspension of shipments. According to the City Inspector’s report, there were 467 deaths in the city during the past week, an ‘increase of 71 as compared with the mortality of the week previous, and 86 less than occurred during the corresponding week last year. The re- capitulation table gives 3 deaths of diseases of the bones, joints, &c., 91 of the brain and nerves, 2 of the generative organs,"11 of the heart and blood vessels, 108 of the lungs, throat, &c., 6 of old age, 33 of diseases of the skin and eruptive fevers, 9 premature births, 133 ofsdiseases ‘of stomach, bow- els and other digestive organs, 30 of uncertain seat and general fevers, 1 unknown, 8 of diseases of the urinary organs, and 32 from violent causes.

Unquestionably the greatest battle of this war is that which took place at Gettysburg on the three first days of this month. There may be hereafter other battles, some ‘successful and some adverse, and some, it may be, with equal numbers engaged; but this will be regarded in history as the decisive battle of the war, and hold the same relation to the Southern invasion that the battle of Saratoga did to the British invasion in the war of the Revolution. It is greater than that. of Pharsalia, in which Cwsar and Pompey played their respective parts, and which decided the destiny of the Roman republic; greater than that of Mara- thon, in which the Persian invader was smitten by Greece and his prestige forever destroyed; greater than the decisive battle of Blenheim, in which Marlborough effectually humbled the power of France and cut short the dreams of universal conquest indulged in by Louis XIV.; greater than any battle fought by the forces of the French republic at the time of the Revolu- tion; greater than any fought in the civil wars of England; greater than Waterloo, which only lasted a single day, and fixed the fate of Eu- rope. @he troops engaged in the battle of Gettysburg exceeded in numbers the armies that fought in any of these great battles, and the fighting, too, was more desperate. Never have French or English troops shown such tenacity and endurance. Had sucha battle taken place in Europe, one or the other army would have given way, and the result would have been immediately decisive between a British port, and Matamoros are ui few pio it cannot be claimed by Great Britain nor con~ ° byus vast someBritiah v may not nh eedalocs ly engaged im that ostensible trade in conveying supplica to the insurgents of the United States.

The Tribune building was attacked by the people in large numbers during the evening, and considerable damage was done before the police interfered. As night came on, however, everything resumed its ordinary quietness. The excited people dis- persed, and the curious ones retired to their homes to avoid the drenching rain, The full par- ticulars of the occurrence will be found in our catching or cutting off the enemy in their movements for Richmond. As it is, these ex- traordinary July rains, in swelling and in maintaining the Upper Potomac beyond a ford- able stage, from the beginning of Lee’s re- treat to the present day, have been and are doing the service of an irresistible army in his front, compelling him to halt and try the issue of another battle with our victorious army in his rear.

Army of the Potomac, and it was by the expe- rience Meade derived in fighting in McClellan’s campalga that he has become so apt a pupiland won 0 brilliant a victory. Had the military authorities at Washington, after the battle of Antietam, co-operated with McClellan,‘so as to enable him to follow up his advantage, the con- flict would have been rendered decisive, and there would have‘been no more battles to be fought north of the Potomac; none, perhaps, evon in Virginta. If they have done their duty to the country, and rendered Meade the aid he re- quires, a fatal blow will be struck and the rem- nant of the army of Lee will be captured, dia- persed or destroyed, ceasing forever to exist as an organization. General Meade has performed his part of the programme splendidly. Upon the military authorities at Washington devolves the responsibility of crowning the work. Let them put forth at this favorable moment one great, con- centrated and combined effort, and the rebelliog, will be crushed, the wee ended, and the Union restored, after which, triumphant democracy, like the glant Antwus,revived by touching his yy mean no good to Poland; but they are | mdthét earth, will be in a position to vindicate very anxious, to avert calamity from them- |:the Monroe doctrine, and drive from this conti solves.

By making this concession Russia baffles the design of Napoleon te involve ber in ® general European war, while on the other hand she will seriously embarrass all the Powers who have undertaken to meddle with her internal affairs, It is more than probable that the Poles will not agree to the propositions of the Allies. What will the Allies do in that event? Will they assume the ungracious task of coercing them and fighting on the same side with the strong? If they will not, then what avails their mediation as far as the Poles are con- ed? Nothing whatever, and it was never intended to benefit them. It is a mockery, a delusion and asnare, The real design is to arrest the spread of revolution. England and rance could long since have given indepen- dence to Poland by the utterance of a single word; and as for Austria, she retains to this day her share of the partitioned and despoiled Niobe of nations. They are hypocrites all,, F. Kelley waa said to be on the south side of the Potomac yesterday, with a considerable Union force. It is understood that in falling back to the line of the Concocheague river from Antietam, the rebels encountered the forces of General Mulligan, and after several skirmishes in the vicinity of Clear Bpring retired to the eastward. This might ac- count for the reoccupation of Hagerstown by Gene- ral Ewell, tis eated that nearly 3,000 deserters have left General Lee's army, a large portion of whom have Teorossed ihe Potomac at various points above Williamsport, and made their way thence to their homes in the Bouth.
