4 NAPOLEON'S NEW SCHEME. Ouv Washington Correspondence, Wanuunctox, Nov. 6, 1863, vis Napoleon to Merien—Oficial the Arming of a Fleet of Lhir- he Gulf of Mexico—Comments Extaoidinwy Order—Bazaine to Move clober—Dea'h of Basaine’s Wife—French nions of Juawer, dc. sae eived through a semi-official source states that the intoution of the Emperor of the French is to use a! tho means at bis disposal for the prompt and deflaitive cation of Mexico, To that effect he bas beeu recently several vesse's, loaded with troops, guns aud of war, fu that direction, bis object being the ocoupying, fortifying and arming the harbors op the Atlaa- ec aad Pacide coasts, and of reinforcing the military garrisons of some inland cities, destined to act as central depots for all expeditions against the guerillas who are infesting the country. Other information, more tmportant still, would seem to indicate that Louis Napoleon does not intend to limit hus policy upon this continent simply to a demongtration against Mexico, but that bis intentions are to watch this whole continent, and that it is with that view he is armiog a powerful fleet, which is to meet at a stated tims, not yet known, in the Gulf of Mexico, The communications received on that subject are,lam in- formed, of the most preoise and positive character. It is stated (bat official advices have beem transmitted to Cherbourg for the arming and equipment of thirteen ves- sels-of-war, destined to form a squadron of evolution in the Gulf of Mexico, and to remain there as long as circumstanees may demand, The government itseif does oot seem to make a secret of this pro- ject, for I find in the Vigte de Cherbourg a qninisterial despatch directing the military autho- ritiea to prepare and fit out thirteen vessels, which Will be directed successively upon Mexico. It is gaid also that this fleet will) be joined by some of the iron-clads which, under Admiral Renaud, are making a trial trip from Brest to the Teneriffe Islauds. ‘The presence of such a strong naval force on the coast 0! America 1s attributed to various motives. Some peo plo think that, tired and annoyed at Prince Maxtmiiian’s objectic aj tivated, perhaps, by the advances mado to him by certain Mexican leaders, and by the organiza. tion o; a strong French party in Mexico—Louis Napoleon has deci 'ed to drop the Austrian candidate and to govern himself ihatcountry by means of a governor, #s he does Algeria. Others believe, on the contrary, that bis resolu- tion of seading a fleet to the New World refers merely to tho presence of the Russian squadron in our waters, and to the fears he bas that tt might prey upon French com. merce in case of a war with Russa, But should he annex Mexico to France, as has already been intimated by a London paper, itis obvi us that the assistance of a atrong naval force would be indispensable to him, both as a means of blockading the Mexican ports and of prepar- ing himself for the eventuality of a war with England or with the United States. Orders have been sent to General Bazaine to commence military operations on the 16th of Octover, and to carry thom on with all possible activity and vigor. The parti- sans of the French party in Mexic> have writton to Paris that Juarez was abandoned by all his former partners; ‘that Doblado and Comonfort could ensily be bought up; that, in fact, there was no real opposition party in Moxi- 0, and that all the obstacles to overcome were those of- tered by independent bands of brigands, who, under the ‘namo of guerilias, wore pillaging the country, killing its inhabitants and committing the most outrageous crimes. General Bazaine’s wite died near Paris on the eve of ‘hor departure for Mexico, Parisian gonsip says that she ‘was formorly Jewish girl, of great beauty, but ag hoe oad ag beautiful, living in one of the poorest wards Algiers, when she was mot by General Bazaine, then an officer ta the Zouaves 4’ Afrique. Struck by her beauty and by the air of candor and inmocence spread upon het countenance, Bazaine fell in love with her: but, as i ‘was too illiterate to become the wife of s French officer, ‘he provided her with teachers. At tho end of two years the uneducated girl had made such progress in literature and all the arts becoming to a woman that all the objec: ‘tions to an alliance were removed, and Bazaine married Ror, He the» took his wife to Paris, where she goon be came ove of the ornaments of fashionable society, Her death has teft doep regret in the bearts of all those who havo known her, and cannot failto affect profoundly the Commander-in-Chief of the Frenoh army, by whom she ‘was tenderly beloved.

By tho arrival here on Sunduy of the steamship Consti- Tution, via Mauzanillo,we are in recelpt of papers and private advices from the city of Mexico, dated August ‘5, also from Guadalajara to September 22, and from Sun Luis Potosi to August 30. The news is interesting. The activity of the guerillas had become harassing to the forces in the city of Mexico, the ver having at the it time control of the roads leading from Vera Cruz to the capital, General Cuillar, who is in comm! ‘& considerable Acatzingo on the " forces al ‘13th of August, and defeated them, capturing a large train of material of war. He had also previously taken Teontinacon, Chalcbicomula and Quecholac, in all of which p:aces garrisons had been left for the purpose of protecting road, took from these towns a con- widorable amount of stores and mupitions of war. His successes, as well as the success of General Ne. grote in totally defeating the ‘‘traitor”’ forces under Gen- eral Marquez, had inspired the Mexicans with much spirit. Movements of considerable importance were about 74 made to concentrate their forces. General N te, wit th ve ers, bad moved towards the city of San Juan de los Liamos, a short distance from tho city of Mexico, intending to ‘make that city his base of opera. sions, with the ‘Of keeping control of the valley of forthe purpeos of chsching Negrete mosementh, bet he for ose jegrete movements, e had i ably teen successful in whipping them,as at Na- polucan and Zampange. ‘upon asa reign of terror. bippin erected at the barracks, and for the most triv! thnces persons were daily brought up and fogged.

The popular fooling againat whipping becoming very great, the prac- tise was stopped for about ten days, but was then re establinbed. The newspapers La Este/ette and the Pajaro Verde tod the way, by stating that the government would bo compelied to re-establish the whipping stall and punish all persons whose acts were in opposition to the present imperial administration, avd that this was the only true method of bringing such a degraded race to their senses. Thereupon the whipping post became once more an in eiution ‘The government in San I.ns Potosi has made a number of important changes in the Cabinet, which have given much satisfaction—the President having called to his councils the most able as well as active patriots of his country, viz :—Don Manuel Doblado as Minister of Foreign AMairs (Doblada has since resigned); Lerdo de T Minister of Finance; Hosea Lopes Urraga—tl general in the Mexican army—Miuister of War; and Gen- oral Don Perfirio Dias, General-in Chief ot the Mexican forces, in place of General Ortega, who is now in Zacate- cas, organizing troops for the government.

Theatrical. THE SCARCITY OF GOOD STOOK ACTORS. Mr. J, W. Wallack, Jr., Mr. EL. Davenport, Mrs. Da- venport and Mrs, Farren—the ‘Dramatic Alliance’’— will appear at Tweddle Hall, Albany, next woek, and at Brooklyn the week afterwards, On Wednesday and Sa- turday next Vestvali, who has made a great hit in Phila- delphia, will play Gamea at the Brooklyn Academy, supported by the entire company of Niblo’s Garden, who can be spared, because Mr. Grau gives opera at Niblo’s on those evenings. Johanna Claussen, Mr. Harry Palmer's latest importation, will make her debut at the Now Chest- nat, Poiladelphia, on the 24th inst, ,in ‘ The Little Sentgy nel” and “ Swiss Swains,”’ and will sing ‘ The Captain’ ‘and otber songs in which she caused a furor in London, ‘These announcements of star performances remind us, by contrast, of the increasing scarcity of good stock actors at our leading theatres. Niblo’s and Wallack’s are the only Broadway establishments which can even claim to bave a first class stock company. Mre. Wood is going to produce H. J. Byron’s admirable burlesque of «Tho Duke's Motto”’ on Monday, and she acknowledges in'ad- vance the weakness of the cast. The Florences, at the Winter Garden, will bring out a new Irish drama on the same evening , and their bope is to cover up the deficien- cies of the minor actors by laying great stress upon the scenic effects. Yet Mrs, Wood and Manager Jackson pro- fess their willingness to employ any number of good actors, if they can only get them. That ie precisely the diftculty. There are no good stock actors in the market, The supply is not equal tothe demand. Stars are most plentiful; but stock actors are exceedingly scarce. We can trace the causes of this scarcity to two facts; first, the prevalence of the star mania, and, second, the illiberality of most managers, Perhaps, indeod, the Iat- ter of these two causes includes the former. Mes<rs, Wallack and Wheatley always bave acceptab'e stock cm panies, simply because they are always willing to pay for them. They give good salaries to good actors, and do not adopt the penny wise and pound foolish policy of sending their actors adrift whenever they do not happen to need them for a week or two. Now, during tho run of “‘Rosedale,’’ about one-half of Mr. Wallack’s actors are receiving full pay for doing nothing; but they are ready for any emergency, and are rebearsing the new three act play which is to follow “Rosedale,” Mr, Wheatley is also paying actors whom he does not need at present, but whom he expects to need by and by. This is the way to manage all large establishments. If tne majority of managers were equally liberal, they could easily keep up their stock. But, on the other nand, it is an understood thing in the profeasion that managers are re- solved to shave exceedingly close, and that they will pay stock actors as little as posstble, and will break up a Season or resort to some other expedient to get rid of their surplus stock actors whenever a successfal piece or a lucky star seems likely to ran a month or so. For this reason the firat ambition of an actor with brains is to “get out of the stock.” For the same reason every de- butant endeavors to make himself a star at once, and never thinks of joining a regular company in order to study and work his way up. Miss Henriques is almost the ‘only debutant we remember, of Inte years, who turned her back upon the star system, and entered the regular company of an established theatre. Miss or Mrs. Jen- nings, & young widow, who will ‘shortly make her debut at Wallack’s, intends to pursue the same sensible course, But these are exceptions which only prove the general rule. That rule is: become a star and take the chances. The consequence of al! this is a direct injary to the public, to say nothing of the theatrical profession. We have a superabundance of stars. Some are excellent, like Wallack, Davenport, ‘Vestvali and Claussen; but the majority are stupid pre- tenders, who are hardly fit for utility actors in a leading theatre, and whose only titles to popularity are puffing and large type on the playbilis. The names of at least twenty star actors now occur to us whom we should like to advise to join a regular company and learn something. If we gave such advice, however, the reply would be:— “We make one hundred dollars a night by starring, and would only receive tem in the stock.” This reply is unanswerable; but it indicates a state of affairs which ought to be corrected forth- with. Why should an actor who ts worth one hundred dollars a night asa star be offered only ten dollars a week as ® stock actor? Or, on the other band, why should an actor who ts only worth ten dollars a week to a regular theatre be permitted to star it at one hundred dollars a night? The managers must be at fault. The public must also beat fault. Let the former buy up all the moderately good stars, and we will try to induce the latter to hiss off all the bad ones. This will leave us that theatrical Utopia—a few great leading actora and plenty of fine stock companies. If something of this sort be not done soon, the drama in New York will hardly be worth mentioning. THE NAVY.

This vessel is ‘the first of four slater propellers launched, and con- siderable anxiety was therefore manifested in the result. It is gratifying to know that everything worked satisfactorily. The vessel is of iron, two bun- dred and twonty foot long, Mfty.six feet wide and Seven feet deep, She has two fore and aft bulk- heads, (and fix thwart ship bulkheads—all water- tight.} She has two turrets, one Ericsson and the other Eade’s patent; the latter being of peculiar con- struction. A model of this curious turret was exbib- ited to the Russian officers recently at the Metropolitan Hotel in this city, There can be no impropriety in say- ing that this turret differs from Eriesson’s, among other | things, in having & portion of the shell extended down to, | and the whole weight of the terrot resting on ephores at the bottom of the vessel, The guns are placed on a huge platform, loaded {n the hold and raised into the turret by steam power, They are also run out by steam, the recoil in received on steam cylinders, and the whole apparatus, guns and all, are operated by one man (an engineer), no other person Being needed @ the terret.

During tho past month many important events have transpired in Natchez, and, as they have not as yet been mado public, your correspundent determined to take a trip to that post and endemyor, if posalblo, to get a fow ftoma, 1 took passage om the magnificom steamer At- lantio, which ia renderod femous by hor speed, superior accommodations and the polite an4 obliging attontions of McDougal and Ford, her captain and clerk, Unusual for thie fine boat, ber passenger list was by no means full. This fault was, however, remedied by the dignified presence of a live brigadier general Our trip, like other things, was “short and sweet,’ ‘apd nothing occurred to disturb the monotony of the pas- Gage. Not even aguerilta showed timsolf throughout the whole route. ‘The long contested questioa—‘‘the opening Of the Missiasippi river’’—is now virtually decided, and all are forced to admit that the Father of Waters ia again free. The guerilla oven, ashamed of his mode of warfare, haa withdrawn from the banks of tho Mississippi, and ‘his mighty river rolis undisturbed to the sea. I had al- most despaired of obtaining an item when we arrived at Natches. Since my last from.this point several important changes bave taken place. * Brigadier General Ranzom bad left for Vicksburg, and the post is commanded by Brigadier Genoral Graham, while the district extending from Grand Gulf to Red -rivor is under the control of I:rigadier Genp- “ral Crocker. As I ietimated would be the case, the ‘Dogroes have been made into soldiors, and only about two regiments have been obtained from the multitude that aro in the “ pens.’ The nogroes aro all will: clothed by Uncle Sam, but none will make an effort to remunerate bim for bi: is The noexro soldiers bave very little to do but to rub their guas and keov clean, and I must admit that they make a fine appearance. The mortality among them was at one time fearful, but bas moderated a great deal, and thoy are comparatively healthy. ‘The fortifications of Natchez aro admirable and of the moat durable character. They are only on the right flank, and nearly completed. The contrabands are kept con tantly at work upon them, When completed theywill be ten or twolve fect in hoight. ‘The gans, which are yet to be mounted, will rake the country im every direction, and it will be almost impossible to take theae formidable works by storm. The sentiments of the people have ondergone a great change, and the otty of Natohez ia as lores Sale clay ag either Memphis or Now Orleans. he majority the wealthiest portion of the citizens are tho most uncompromising Unie mon, and have Riven the most positive proo’s of their loyalty and devo, tion to the Union. Among the: most prominent and tnflu- ential Union men in this city are found the following.— Judgo Winchester heads this list, There is vo doubt about bis lovalty, as the rebels wero going to hang him at ‘One time on account of bis*entiments. Then we nave L. R. Marshall, who, three years ago, liad's yearly income of one bundred and eighty 4 dollars; the best ef his wealth was in “niggers aud mules.” devoted are found A. Merrit! and Dr. Duncan, both very woalthy men. Mr. Merrill is the iovontor of ihe caiebrated ‘Merrill’s cotton tie: Mesers. McMurran, Hallow Nutt and Mioor, three heavy planters and steunch Union men, are next, Mr. Nutthas Jost, since the occupation of Natchez by our forces, one million five hundred thousand dollars. The loss of a!! tims wealth does not, however, throw a damper upon his sentiments. Last, but not least, comes the Rey. Mr. Watkins, a very eloquent minister, and as devoted afriend to the Union as can be found. ‘These aro the most influential men in the county (Adams) and they are all worth from-one to two millions. These men do not come forward for the pur- pose of receiving fat government offices—for thero are none to be had at present—but from the love of that great ‘and glorious Union. If any of themdid ever waver in their allegiance it is long sings over. The maiority of the la- dies, I am sorry to sy, have not changed much in their sentiments, and still stick to their * beloved confederacy " ‘Those “‘hapdsume Yankees" will find the vay to their hearts, and the ladies cunnot help bestowing a smile upon them occasionally. ig Tam corrow ‘bas at length begun to come in; thousands of bales have reached this city. Ofcourse the cotton speculators are numerous, and many of them are-making rapid fortunes. By a recent order issued by Gencral Crocker, the traffick- tng in cotton was forbidden; but the pienters and others who havo held cotton in their possession for some time aro allowed to ship and dispose of it in New Or- leans or New York, providing they are sound, The steamer Empress, which lett Natchez xbout ten days since, with load of cotton estimated at ‘bei ween two and three thousand bales, bas arrived, and is: taking in another load of the staple.
