One of the Mexican towns in the interior had in fact been already attacked, but the French were repuised with loss. General Dobladohad retired from the ministry, and had returned to his own State, where he continues raising troops for the general de- fence, Our correspondent's letter contains some inte- resting details concerning the destruction of the steamer Mejico by fire.

The last news from Charleston comes by the Falton from Port Royal to the 18th inst. All was quiet when the Fulton left; but the siege goes on aninterruptedly, though without any demonstra- tive action beyond what the spade can accom- plish. Despatches from Cincinnati yesterday say that Eastern Kentucky is pretty clear of the rebels. A tecont expedition sent out in that direction had zeturned with a number of prisoners, horses and arms.

The corner stone of a new building for the Na- tional Academy of Design, on Twenty-third street and Fourth avenue, was laid yesterday afternoon, with appropriate and intcresting ceremonies, a full report of which is given in our columns. At the meeting of the Board of Education, last evening, Mr. Hitchman asked authority for the officers of the Nineteenth ward to expend $1,500 in altering the school house in Forty-second street, which was granted. The Committee on Sites recommended the adoption of a resolution appropriating $23,000 to purchase a site in Twen- ticth street (Sixteenth ward) on which to erect a grammar school. The resolution was adopted. No further business of public interest came up. Max Maretaek has instituted a suit for damages against the proprictors of the Sunday Mercury, for the publication of a false and malicious libel in the last issue of their paper. Judge Barbour has granted an order of arrest against them, holding them to bail in the sum of five thousand dollars each. to the 11th inst.—two days later. The assemblage of a Russian fleet in the harbor of New York is spoken of by a number of the English journals as very unpalatable, and it may be dangerous, to the European Powers opposed to the interests of the American Union. The writers at- tached considerable importance to the fact that Mrs. Lincoin proposed the health of the Czar as a toast on board of one of the Emperor's ships. The Liverpool Courier of October 9 points out the great power which a combined Russo-American fleet would possess on the ocean if the two allied Powers were driven to war against a coalition drought about by the commotions in Poland and the Southern American States. Admiral Milne is warned by the journals to watch where the Russian vessels head for after leaving New York. One of Laird’s rebel iron-rams was formally seized by the officers of the English government on the 9th instant. A late report states that both these vessels were inthe custody of the officials, and there is little doubt but such is the fact. It is confessed that the full reports of the arrival of the Russian fleet in our waters which had reached Eari Russell, quickened his appreciation of the force of the evidence tendered by the representa- tives of the Union against these vessels. It is said that the Bultan of Turkey wished to parchase the rams. A Rouen paper states that the privateer Florida bad been sold at Brest to a French transatlantic ommercial company. The United States steamer Koarsage was still in the port of Brest, and the men of the two vessels fare said to have indulged in many “free fights’ on shore, ‘When the officers passed each other in the streots they maintained a dignified silence.

The balance of the commutation fund now amounts to $27,219 69. Money was in rather better supply yesterday, without chacige in rate. Gold opened at 146, fell quickly to 14355, rallied to 1451{, and closed at 144%, There was but little doing in exchange after the sailing of the Ver- tia. The stock market was quite active throughout the day, and an advance took place in almost everything on the list, closing with a firm appearance, Cotton war lightly dealt in yesterday, prices favored buyers. There was less activity in flour, wheat and corn, which declined materially. The demand for pro- ‘visions was restricted, though the market tended down- ward. Whiskey wes firmer and in good request. The grocery trade exhibited mére animation. Transactions in fab, bay, lime, wool and tobacco were to a faire extent and prices were wellsupported. There was lees activity tn the freight market, which closed heavily. ‘ Mn. Suwwer’s Discovnsr 1x Panis.—Mr, Sam- ner’s discourse “por our international affairs bas been translated and publiehed in Paris. It has produced a great effect upon the minds of the people there, and.causes them to deprecate any action on the part of their government which might cause ® war between the two countries. To add to the popular feeling upon this subject in France was the announcement of the artival iy our barvor of the Bussian Beet. coalition with the rebellion. Kebel Negotiations tm France—Plan of a Holy Alliance Against the United States. ‘The letter from our Lon<on correspondent — which we publish thia mornine—discloses a pro- eramme of European inte sition in behalf of Jeff. Davis and his Southern confederacy 80 very plausible and so perfectly consistent with the game of Louis Napoleon in Mexico, and the policy of England to break up and destroy the power of the United States, that the subject cannot fail to challenge the special attention of the reader. The European confederates in this new scheme of a spoils coalition against us are represented as the Holy Father of Rome—in be- half of the Latin church—Austria, Spain, France and Great Britain. Their projected interven- tion contemplates the recognition of a Southern confederacy, embracing the thirteen slave States represented in the rebel Congress (including Kentucky and Missouri), and the withdrawal of the Union troops from Maryland,"so tbat a free vote may be bad in the State upon the question whether she is to adhere to the rem: nant of tho old Union or to go over to the South- ern confederacy. All this is to be accomplished in behalf of Jeff. Davis by these European allies The programme is magnificent; for it will be seen that it covers not only the confederacy. claimed by the rebellion, but in addition there- to the State of Maryland, which involves the District of Columbia and the capital of the United States, for the destiny of Maryland is inevitably the destiny of Washington. For this magnificent endowment of Davis our correspondent says the rebel States are to expressly pledge themselves against any fili- bustering in Mexico, Cuba or Porto Rico, and are to resist, to the extent of their power, the annexation of any portion of the British possessions to the Northern confederacy, and any attempt on our partto disturb the ar- rangements of this European Mexico or the Gulf. Such are the rough out- lines of this projected plot. In reducing it to a treaty it will probably embrace the ces- sion of Texas and Louisiana and say nothing of California. coalition in to France, also New. Mexico and Arizona, to That there is something in these astounding revelations we can hardly doubt, when simultaneously the programme divulged by our London corres- pondent is substantially promulgated through the Richmond Enquirer as the only admissible basis of a treaty of peace. The leading rebel ambassadors now in Paris or concentrating there are Slidell and Mason, Atexander H. Stephens, the so-called Vice Presi- dent of the so-called Confederate States, and Dr. Gwin, of California, late from Fort Li These desperate political adventurers will promise anything and sacrifice anything, to the extent of balf the area of the slave States, in order to secure a Southern confederacy under a European protective coalition. To enter into this coalition England has the powerful induce- ment of the @estruction of an overshadowlog commercial rival—an object for whieh she has been working to divide us on the slavery ques tion for half a ceutury; France is tempted by the brit of a powerful foothold on this conti- nent; Spain by promiees of the protection of Cuba; Austria by the glittering bauble of tle crown of Mexico, aud the Pope by the spiritual and temporal interests of bis church, Then there sre the great inducements to England and France of monopoly of the trade in Southern cotton and tobacco upon their own terms. Surely such arguments as these may be supposed to have been employed to some purpose by Slidell, Masou, Stephens, Gwin and their numerous Southern co-laborers in London, Paris and Madrid. But the startling revolutionary ideas involved in President Lincoln’s war for the Union sug- gest, in the event of his success, a great and irresistible power on this Gontinent, as the pro- pagandist of popular rights and popular in- stitutions, as dangerous to tke crowned beads of Europe and the divine rights of kings as was the first terrible republic of France. Hence the same common cause among these old monarchies, beginning with England, which arrayed them in a “Holy Alliance” against the French republic and againat the first Napoleon, invite the parties now concerned to a “Holy Alliance” against the United States. That the present Napoleon is ready for the “ Holy Alliance” there con be no doubt; that the other parties indicated, ex- cepting England, have become mere instru- ments in his hands, is equally apparent. Nor do we place any faith in this late virtuous neu- trality of England. We regard it as but a sham and a trick in which to mask her reaj designs. If the only difficulty in the way were a war with the United States, we might perhaps have & hostile Anglo-French fleet off Sandy Hook within sixty days. But, looming up in the background of this Enropean projected alliance, stands the colossal power of Russia, quite as near an alliance with the United States, offensive and defensive, as Louis Napoleon and his colleagues can be to their contemplated And yet, if we would break up this incipient “Holy Alli- auce,” and escape the tremendous coavulsion of a world-wide war, our only course is to strengthen our armies in the rebellious States and by a quick succession, of well directed blows bring down the hydra-headed monster of this rebellion a prostrate carcass in the dust. ‘ In this view the good example of Governor Seymour's response to the President's call for three hundred thousand volunteers we trust will be promptly followed up by each and all the Governors of the loyal States, We have the rebellion upon the bip—another heavy blow or two will finish it; but the favorable season for military operations down South is getting short. We must keep up the fire; we must not allow the enemy time to recuperate or re-organize; for thus, in prolonging the war, we increase the dangers of European intervention and of a war throughout all Christendom and over all the habitable globe. Napoixon Anory at tan Baitisn Govery- Ment.—The greatest annoyance is felt in France at the course pursued by the English govern- ment as regards the Polish and Mexican quee- tions. The semi-official and official organs of the Emperor Napoleon accuse England of a want of goed faith in these matters, and assert that upon the British Cabinet must fall the onus of the non-action of France in favor of the per- secuted Poles. The tone of the French journals betray the great annoyance of the Emperor. APni. ron Jevv. Davis.--The British govern- ment have seized the rebel ram which was ready to sail. o Removal of Generals Hoscerfx:s, Orittendeu and MeCook—The New Cani- pPeign. The removal of three major generals a(ter one defeat necessarily excites considerable comment, and whon one of these generals was the oommander of the army he is thus com- pelled to leave, and was the hero of two mag- nificent victories, and in two years of command bas been beaten but once, it is only natural that this act of the government should astonish the country somewhat, and that every variety of reason should ke given for it. Both the cases of Generals McCook and Crit- tenden are sufficiently well understood by the people. Their capacity is to be looked into, and in the case of General McCook this is" especially necessary. Our readers will remem- ber that at the battle of Stone river this Geno- ral’s command gave way exactly as it did in the recent battle in Goorsta, yet the command, regiment by regiment and brigade by brigade, is made of\the very same material as is that gallant) corps with which General Thomas cay the army. No difference exists, save in and it is fit that the gov- ernment.204 should know exactly what the. ince his retrograde exploits at ickamauga Gene- ral McCook i ecessary to revile the “seribbiers fo ,” as if those wortbies were responsib, his misconduct in the faco of the enemy ‘ad there been no correspond- cbs field it may be considered very cer- tain that tho country would bave known much less of General McCook’s delinquency than it does now, and that is apparently what he most cares for. Undisturbed at the disgrace of his feilure, be seems only to be troubled that the world should know it; for we do not sup- pose that any one can claim that the presence on the field of a whole regiment of reporters would have rendered it any legs likely that be should run away. In the case of General Rosecrans, it is stated from Washington that no fault is imputed to him except that he did not agree with the wise- acres of the War Department. That, however, is an immense fault. He is said to have gone beyond Chattanooga without orders from Wash- ington and in opposition to the wishes of the great strategists there. We had, upon the very best authority, a statement that waa the very opposite of this. General Rosecrans has writ- fen some political letters that be bad better have lett alone, and he has been stupidly silly once. He asked the Roman Catbolic churches of Cincinnati to say masses for the success of bis army. He had better have attended to his artillery. But if that were any cause for his removal Mr. Secretary Stanton onght to be re- moved olso, a8 he, in the sume vein, wanted us to depend for success upon the apirit of the Lord rather than upon an adherence to the true principles of military science. But te reason for General Rogecrans® re- moval was a larger one -than any of these, 9: suet cest any imputation upon the abilities gallant soldier, In the great striggle around Chattanoova the war bas found its is- sue, and the covernment has finally seon that it is necessary to concentrate ils whole available force at that point. Consequently, three’arm'es are to operate as one in that theatre, ard one commander must be supreme. Now, as one of these three armies is to be that of Goueral Grant, it is very evident that the supreme com- mand could not fall to General Rosecrans. Neither could the government require a gene- ral whe has acted in an independent aphere for so many months to resume a subordinate posi- tion, and so General Rosecrans goes into a tem- | porary retirement. Let us all rejoice that he leaves his army in such excellent hands as those of General George Thomas. And now, that the government has decided to concentrate a sufficient force on the great ope- rations in Georgia, and haa put the invincible Grant in command, it has only to continue in the same spirit. Give General Grant all that may be necessary in the way of supplies and equipment, and we sha!] soon see the end of the war. Tus Posrrion or Means ano Lem mw Vim amta.—Though it is reported from the Army of the Potomac that General Lee's force was drawn up in line of battle near Gainesville on Monday last, we do not believe that a battle is at present “imminent” or even probable in that vicinity. We several days ago expressed our conviction that Lee's late advance was made only to cover movements in some other direc- tion—perbaps against Burnside in Tennessee; and we have already seen that as soon as Gene- ral Meade came to a stand still General Lee was gone. And though our cavalry may find Lee in line of battle, it is only a line of battle hastily formed to protect the retreat, and when our infantry comes up it will be found that Lee is again upon the go. Some evidence that General Lee did not intend or expect to fight way be found in what took place at Bristoe Station. That little fight, as a visit to the field by one of our correspondents distlores, was a very severe one to the body of rebels who made it, and who were thrown forward to be slaugh- tered without the power to fight. Nevertheless, though 2 battie near Gaines ville is not in the rebel programme, no one can count entirely upon what may happen when two large armies lie near to one another. Ac cident, any little dispute between pickets, may precipitate a battle that the general would wish to avoid, and thus it is not impossible that we may hear of a battle in Virginia very soon. A New Pamrater is Paris.—Mr. Magne, a member of the French Senate, and a minister without portfolio, has written a pamphlet, which announces that the French will withdraw from Mexico the moment Prince Maximilian is seat- ed on the new throne. The task of France will then have been accomplished, says Mr. Magne. The Vienna journals would go to prove, how- ever, that there is no probability of the accept- ance by the Prince of the dignity offered him. His answer, assert these journals, is tantamount toa refusal, as he well knows that England will not guarantee his throne, and Franee can- not. When the Prince hears of the schemes of Jeff. Davis and Dr. Zacharie, he will be lees likely than ever to accept the Mexican throne. He will keep clear of Napoleon’s muddle. Iumensk Surgnionrry or American Onp- waxcr.—The English journals are greatly exer- eised by the wonderful achievements of our big guns. They acknowledge that we far sur- pass them, and call upon their inventors to en- deavor to compete with us. The Emperor Napoleon is also much worried by our Swamp Angel, and has sent bere parties to report upoa the immense guns announced by us some time since as being constructed. NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1863,—+TRIPLE SHEKT,, a Annival or THE Mexican Movwtnn.—We are happy to announce the arrival d€ Senor Don Matias Romero, Minister Plenipotentiary of the Mexican republic tothe United States. He is accompanied by Messrs. Ygnacio Mariscal, Fer- nando de Ia Cuesta and Francisco C. Masia, members of the legation. Senor Romero is once more charged with the representation of the Juarez government near this republic, and there can be no doubt that he will discharge the responsible duties of his - office with the same ability and fidelity which marked his diplomatic career while previously among us. Not many months ago Senor Romero voluntarily took his léave of the United States government, and returning to Mexico assumed a command under General Diaz for the military defence of bis country. It was generally under- stood that be was to be succeeded in the office of Minister Plenipotentiary by Senor de la Fuente—a Mexican diplomat of conside- rable ability. But in the present state of the Mexican question the constitutional govern- ment seems to ‘have decided on retaining the invaluable services of Senor Romero. His thorough knowledge of the English language— with which Senor de la Fuente is not ac- quainted—and bis acknowledged diplomatic ability and experience, admirably fit him for the important position. ‘There are some rumors afloat of the Intention of the French government of the city of Mexico also to send a representative to Washington. This, however, seens hardly probable, as this will be a duty devolving on the new Emperor, if he ever arrive, If, however, an imperial representative should be credited to the United States, the Washington government would fave a plain duty to perform, which would be to reject bim at once. There can be no middle course. We have declared for the Mexican re- public and the unity of the American conuti- nent. We therefore warmly welcome Senor Romero on his return aa Minister from Mexico Tux Jumciary Nominations anp Tax Tri- sune'’s Linent.—Greeley charged in yester- day's Tribune, that the nomination of Dis- ‘trict Attorney Garvin for a seaton the bench of the Superior Court was decided by a raffle, and that there was foul play in drawing the lots, We believe this charge to bea gross and malicious libel. Mr. Garvin was noui- nated as fairly as any political candidate has ever been. Mr. Garvin, in a letter, demands the Tribune's “authority which can- not be questioned” for this statement, and offers to have au examination of the matter, under oath, before a magistrate, and to resign the nomination if it can be proven that it was obtained by any fowl play. In addition to this Alderman Froment, who, according to the Tri- lune, “was once made the victim of such a trick,” is preparing another letter denouncing the Tvilwne's atatoment as utterly untrue. Evi- dently Gay and Greeley have put their feet Ceep into the mire this time, and we shall be glad to see how ti ey and their anquestionable authority will pet out of it. The case is too plain for any dodging or equivocation. Let the Tribune toe the mark. Tue New Cant. ror Votunrnurs.—The re- cent proctamation of the President of the Unit- ed States, calling for three hundred thousand volunteers, and tre unanimous action of Gover- nor Seymour and all our public authorities, must convince the robels of the South that the determination of the country to restore the Union is fixed and unalterable. The rebels bave been largely depending upon the action of the peace party and the copperheads of the North to make a diversion in their favor; but they must have found out by this time that all these peace agitators are nearly, if not alto- gether, demolished. We are now forming a grand national coalition for the defence of the Union—a coalition like that of the French re- public, when it arose in its might and defied all Europe. Should there be any combinations of France and England, or any other European Powers, against us and in favor of the rebels, they will soon find that, like the French re- public, we will put forth such tremenflous power as will drive them all before us. Tue Trimune anny THE Potice Commisston- gns.—Greeley and Gay, of the Tribune, in- dulged themselves in an attack upon the Police Commissioners yesterday. Ingratitude is a common fautt of the Trine people. They forget to acknowledge the obligations they are under to the Herat for news, although they once admitted that “the Heratn is constantly ahead. We are obliged to copy from it.” Now it appears that they also forget that the police and the Police Commissioners eaved the Tri- lune office from destruction during the recent riots, The fact is, that thq, police of this city have been managed solely for the public in- terest. If the Commissioners bave made mis- takes it has beea from over zealousness in the discharge of their duties. The Ziibune’s accu- sation, that they have prostituted their offices for political purposes, and connived at fraud and corruption at the ballot box, is libellous, false and absurd. Messrs. Acton, Bergen and Kennedy will be benefited rather than injured by this last dying kick of the radical party in this city. ‘ Tur Paris Journats ox Recoowrriox.—The leading journals in Paris have been much af- fected by the course of England on the ques- tion of the recognition of the South. Those who were favorable to Davis now sing small, while those who have been friendly to us are triumphant and assert that now recognition is The rebels in Paris are very delivered at Clinton Hall this evening, by Mr. Edward F.

ADMIRAL AND OvyFicgrs oF me Ri Freer. —' city of Philadelphia, through its representatives in ang cila, hasfappointed a vommittee, consistins of the gentie- men to whom you have just been introduced, to tendor to you the hospitatities of our city. In doing go, permit me to observe that this invitation is not a more formality Weare hore, gentlemen, to express the carnest wish cf our people. Philadeiphia is the second city of this great country. Its people are eminently the representatives of the Union somtiment of the nation. Divided as the country bow is by intestine war, our loyal people atrug- giivg to cragh the efforts o° a maliziant, but formidable faction, who are secking to destroy the government and buid up io ite Rtead a government of their Own, bare! upon slivery—-when the nations of the cath are viewing with intense ipterest the pro- gress of tho struggie, it i: highly gratifying te our people, and I think I may speak not only for Philadel phia, but for all loyal people within the bounds of our country, tewelcome to our shores the representatives of the grca®@@Biriond'y Power of Russia. Other nations with whom in times past our intercourse has been kreater have not merely stood aloof in this hour of our (rial, but have secretly counived with our enemies, and basely acught by treachery to achieve the destruction of vur glorious republic. These game nations, fearing for their own supremacy a few years since, combined to arrest the onward progress of your great empire. Lat us join hands, and uni ot we may defy the arrogant as- ‘sumption of these people to control the destinies of the world. Philadelphia Is well worthy of a visit from you. Its harbor ia a fine one, although not grand, like the one in which your veasela are now riding at anchor. Its pub. lic buildings are chaste nnd beauti‘ul. Its manafnctories exceed those of any city in the world. Its people wilt weicome you with open arms, and be gratified to extend to you euch hospitalities aa ‘they can bestow upon the ropresentatives o! a friendly nation, Aamiral Lisovsk! roturnod thanks in a few choice words for the honor which had been done himself and officers, and remarked that nothiag would give him greater plea- sure than to visit the city of Philadelphia, at as early @ date as possible, He would, howover, first visit Wash- ington in order to day his respects to the President ofthe United States, {fhe could not bring bis ships to the Rational capital be would see: visit that city.

They examined with lively interest the unequalled collection of portralis which rew- dere this gallery the iret of its kind, not only in this country, but the world. The series of war pictures take during the campaigns of MoCleilan, and moro recently at Hilton Head, Charleston and other places were also inepected by them with extreme grate fication. After some time thus spent the Admiral sat for three single portraits, all of which were most sue- cessful. Several groups were then taken of himself aad the six officers who accompanied bim, which wore pro- Bounced to be equally satisfactory. Some of these pice tures are to be rent to St. Petersburg, where photography may be said to be atii! almost in ite infancy, and where they will give a very high iten of our progress in the art. ‘The party lett greatly plexed with their visit aod ox pressed their intention of shortly revisiting the gallery. Mr. Brady has also completed a very fine portrait of the British admiral, Sir Alexander Milne. ‘The Municipal Banquet. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
