A belief that euch a war was about to begin ‘was very generally held here, even before it was given consistency by the English organ of Lord Palmerston, which states in a remarkable article that the Holy Al- Hance bas been reformed for the purpose of combatting liberal principles, avd that France and Fpgieod must renew tueir alliance.

The fact that the Archduke Maximiliau was delayed in «Pelgium’s capital where he was lett py bis royal fathor-in-law, who has gone to England, has been con- widorod another evidence that there bas been a hitch somewhere in the amicable rolations between the two br ph who preserved the general poace of Europe at ranca, ‘ Af there were to be a revewal of the Holly Alliance, of course the nephew of the first Napoleon could not weil continue to aid the ambitious projects of the House of aps! by creating © new imperial throne for one of The Monit-ur of thie morning, however, states that the Archduke, who has been retained at Brussels by indisposition, has not renousced the idea of going to Mexico, as been stated. Of course it ‘was necessary for the official organ of the French gov ernment to make some such statement. It Is not ready for the whole matter yet to be sprang upon Europe, and it is now sai in official circles shat the Archduke will reach Paris to morrow; but a good many shrewd people, who bad no idea ton days wince be tag was any doubt about it, are now firmly con- ‘and only equaited by us death continues to about vin Archduke Maxicoilian will never vault Tato the Goat of the Tuurbides. .

For adayortwe the lovers of peace have beet in- abiting a fool’s paradise, The indefatigable exertions of the British Cabinet had at taat succeeded; the confe renees proposed by England bad been accepted en prin- cipe by Austria and Prossta; and as both France and Rus- ‘sia expreased their anxiety for the peaceful settlement of @ question which bas suddenty assumed such formidable dimensions, it did not seem likely that a project approved Of by all the great Powers would be rejected by little Denmark. To be sure, the Germanic Confederatiog con: tipned refractory, and the party favorable to the preten- sions of the Duke of Augustenberg are still in the majority; but if the two leading Powers of Germany were determinod to negotiate, the protests of the minor “tates, though forming the numerical majority in the Diet, would baidiy be worth the paper they were written on. There seemed consequently uo serious ob. stacle to the proposed diplomatic meeting, or (0 its indis- pensable preliminary—an armistice; and when the sub- ject of dispute was once turned from the field of battle to the board of green cloth, the excitement of the bei. liperents would gradually cool down under the goporific influence of notes and protocols, and all fears of an imme- diate catastrophe would be dispelled.

Hxangcanrens, ARMY OF THE PoToMA0, March 19, 1864. ‘To one who had not the ability to see into the complica- ‘tions of this great war machine there would seem to be going 0D & gigantic work of rejuvenation. Change, change, change, appears to be the order of the day; everything is changed or changing except the pure, patriotic sentiment of our troops and the untyersal clamor for action, We bave nothing but ebapge im every department, and it would take ap immense amount of divination to discover sufli- cient landmarks about our present organization by which to identify the old, tried, veteran Army of the Potomac, We are shorn down from our once magnificent proportions toa wreck of our former solf, Where once we embraced tho First, Second, Third, Fitth, Sixth, Niotb, Eleventh and Twelfth corps—« ich an army of itself—we now have as the sum and substance of it all but the Second, Thirdana Sixth, the rest having gone to the tomb of the Capulets, and been buried so deep in that receptacie of dofunct beme, ity that ap extra day of resurrection, with an array of Gubriels, would be unequal to the task of again bring- tog them Ww even spasmodic iifo. ‘We hare 'o times pasi, too, killed off a large number of our ableet officers ether than those who have fellon by the ‘“sbot apd shell and eabre atroke’’ of the rebels, and sup- plied their places wilh new men; Dut atill we are the “army of the Yotomac,” and wo are as proud of this fact @ was tbe Irisbman of the knife bis grandfather left, which, though it bad bad six new blades and a half dozen, bandies, Pat declared it the eame *‘ould”’ heirloom, But I Ftarted out to write of recont changes; and, though the maticr will pot be now to your readers, it may bo interesting to know what feeling pervades the army concerning them, First, then, the cbango in tbe command of this department, which will insugurate the epring campaign. Whon I say that the soldiers hail with Joy tbe now commander, 1 must not be understood as im- piying that thoy have to-aay lesa confidence in General Moade than they bad on tho eve of tue Fourth of Suly, 1863, alter bis superior military genius bad taken them successfully through three days of the most severe fight- tog Of the war or oge. But (ho troops kuow that General Meade hae bis enemies ip the army and out of it, in Con- gress and out of it, with the preas aud e!sowhero, and they think that the advent of @ bero like Genoral Grant, coming fresh from the victorious flelds of the Southwest, coming with the plaudits ag@ buzzas of his victorious le gions, coming possessed of the bighost confidence of a trusting public, wit cpersto greatly to their advantage fm the coming campaign. But General Meade will not leave the army be has go 1 :ng and so ably commanded; ut be will remain to aid and advise the new commander, upsil, when General Grant shail find it necessary to take the active field in another quarter, ho will bo reinstated Jp bis former position. The consolidating of the flve corps {nto one will neces- sarily involve still further changes,which will be mourned over by the velorans with a heartfelt sorrow. ‘It will not be expected that a general who has long commanded @ corps will go back te the command of a division. Hence Newton and French must be temporarily shelved or be transforred to some other department. The First corps will part with General Newton almost as reluo- tantly as they will with their designating badges and corps colors, and will be long in getting reconciled to the Joes of either. Gonoral French bas reviewed his corps for the last time, and the mon are wondering if Warren will ead and leave them better than he. They had jnst got reconciled to the loss of Sickles, and were getting their soldierly affection ‘ast transferred to Fronch, when this change came upon them. But! know thoy will learn to tove Warren ag well as either. It is impossible that they should not; for a soldier worships a brave superior; avd a braver or better or kinder corps commander does not exist in tbe Army of the Potomac.

OUR SWEDISH VISITOR. Visit to His Swedish Majesty’s Corvette Gefle—Sketch of the Swedish Navy, céec. It is many months since our barbor bag bean graced with the flag and pennant of Sweden floating from the mastheads of ono of her war vessels, ‘The representative Of the Swedish navy. now in our waters is the auxiliary steam corvette Gefle, Captain Adelborg, which arrived a few days since fom her station in the West Indice, Yesterday our reporter paid hera visit, at her anehor- age in the North river, off the Battery, Sho isa very neat looking vessel, some two hundred feet in levgth and thirty-three fect boam, bark-riggod, and fitted with an auxiliary screw engine of about threo hundred horse power, carrying a battery of six thirty-pounders io broadside and two sixty-pounders on pivot, furward and aft, AB a specimen Of naval peatnors and good seamanship the Geffe stands at the head of the list of foreign naval vessels that have visited this port for mavy years. Our reporter visited every part of the ship and found it scru- Pulously clean, well ventilated and in the most perfect order. The crew, consisting of about one hundred and sixty persons, are the finest body of men that have been ‘seen it these waters for along time, In fact, they area aplendid crow, and one that any offloer might ba proud of—quiet, sober, moral and well disciplined. The officers are a noble set of gentlemen—courteous, affable, and speak the English language fluently, and aro well posted ‘as to our war matters, taking great interest in the pro- gress of our navy. ‘The following is a list of the officers of the steam cor- Caplain Lieutenant—Count C.

The Swedish navy is uot as largo as many might sup- pose, but Sweden has been oj the opinion that it was better to wait development in other navies before she began to build up a permanent naval force, consequently abe does not stand very far up ia the numercial list of navies, From accounts received some time since she had three screw line of-batile ships, five sailing liners, and one or two building. She has three screw frigates, ilve eailing frigates, four steam corvettes, lve sailing corvettes, ono gun brig, soven schooners, eight screw guaboats, thirteen sailing echooners, one bundred and uinety-eight row gunboats, eight mortar boats, five steam teaders, twenty- five emall sailing vessels and twenty one transports, Since our last report some of these sailing vessols have been modernized by baying auxiliary screws put in them. Sweden is now turning @ portign of her attention to the construction of some j1on-clad vessels, of the Menitor pattern, intended entirely for harbor and river defenco; ip fact, they are intended to take the place of the row gunboats; and to learn something in relation to the work- ing of these vessels, they have sent out one of their oill- cers—Count Rosen—to inquire into the details of working them. Eventually the Swedish navy promises to become one of the navies of Europe, both in numbors and real value. ‘The Geile is now awaiting orders, and will probably re- ‘main here until the first of next month, when she may probably sail for hor home. Our citizens should not fail to show to her oflicors their good feelings to the flag of a country who deeply sympatbizes with us in our domestic troubles, vette Geflo:— Captain—Y. Adelborg. Why General Sherman Did Not Gct to Seima. SMITH’S CAVALRY EXPEDITION—ACOOUNT OF FOR- RBST'S EXYLOITS {From the Richmond Despatch, March 9.] The recent victory of Gen Forrest in Northern Mia- sissippi, by which the grand plan of the Yankees in the ‘West was so effectually defoate’, was one of the most re- markable achievemonts of thie war, We have conversed with gentlemen recently from that soction, whose ac. counte ail concur iu the mata fact hat almost marvel. lous exploit. The enemy's reports fully confirm these accounts, but they do not state the exact force by which these results were accomplished. Owing to the exbaus- tion of bis horses, the want of arms and munitions and other causes, Forrest could ari of only twonty- four bupdred moa to confront Smith and Griereen's column of seven thousand of the best equipped cavalry the Yaukees Lave ever put ia the field. Forrest's meu, too, were mostly new and untried, especinliy in the ca- valry service le bad receutiy recruited them in Wost Yenvessee, It seemed the extreme of rashaess and rock- Jessuess to attempt with such @ foree toarrest the march: of a column of seven thousand splendidiv mountod and equipped men, led by experienced officers, whose march thes far had been uninterrupted, who were busyant and confident, and were charged with such an important mis- , sion. Tie junction of this car force with Sherman at | Meridian wes the key of the he scheme of the Yankee plan for the occupation and subjugation of the Southiwvat. T/ successful, Sherman would have Leen in a comdiion to advance uj on Demopolis and Selma, or Mobile; and these inpar ant points, as well as the rich countries adjacent, would have been at the mercy of theetmy. They could only have teen driven back at the enormous risk of weakens ing Johuston’s army, $0 as f0 open Northern Georgia and Rome and Atiazta to Grani’sarmy. General Poik, with his scant infantry force, quickly perceived the momentous issue which depended upon ‘the resnit of the cavairy movement from Memphis, and after securing bis smail army on the east side of the Tombigbee, and removing alt bis suppties and munitions and returning to Mobite the troops be bad borrowed trom General Maury, sent imperative orders to Lee and Forrest to unite their forces, and at every cost to crush and drive back Smith and Griersou’s cavalry. Lee did not recive these orders iu time to reach For. rest with his force, which was already greatly exhausted by the continual skirmishing with Sherman's column. Forrest was therefore leit alone with bis two thousand ur hundred mea to perform this immense undertaking. ‘onfronting the enemy on the broud prairies car West Point, on the Tibbee river, be prepared for action. The enemy formed in a long and most imposing ling, ontfank- ing Forrest, aud threatening the instant demolition of his small and imporiectly organized force, The charge was given, aud the Yankees advanced with great boldness and an air of certein victory. Great was their surprise when, ag they aj Forrest’s line, theyobrer ved Aus men siap from their horses, and, converting themselves into infantry, cach man taking the most favorable position, availing them- seb 08 of every advantage the id afforded, and awailing with the ulmost coolness the impetuau. charye of the Yankee chivatry. Om came the bm ge mounted dra- goons, ander these far-famed, Yavkee chicts, Smith’ and Griersoa, with such flerce displays of valor and determination as argued badly for Forrest's infantry scouts, ttered through tho Dushos and over tue prairie in rat! an irregular and un- military style, But there valorous horsemen did not advance far before the bails of two (housand riflemen began to rattte through their ranks with fearfd effect, Scores of men and horses feil at the frat Gre, and their onward moy it was checked, and before they could recover aud reform the volley was repeated—again and again—unti! dismay and terror began to prevail in their ranks, aud they soon broke fato confusion and fled. Forrest then mounted his men and began bis pur- suit, which he kept up with great vigor for near!; twenty miles, the enemy leaving bebind many of his wouvdet and exhausted men, all bis dead, his prisoners, five pieces of tiller» burning his tu joose his mul laving discov. ‘ ‘orrest, several attempts were made by Smith and Griergon to rally their mea and resume tho offensive, Their efforts were succos- ful on the bills just beyond Okaior when the last grand charge was made by them. [t' was mot in tho same way as their previous attempts, but even with more vigor and determination by Forrest's men, who bad in a few hours become veterans, Several crushing volleys from tooir rifles quickly rested the impetuous valor of the Yankees, aud seut them to the rear in the wildest coniusion and dismay, By this time Forrest had exhausted bis ammunition and the strength of his horses, He could aot follow up the evemy. ertuoately, however, Genoral Gholaon arrived with gome [resh state troops, new levies bastily gathered, and look the place of Forrest's men, following up tho Yankees for eat distance, barassing them, capturing aud ktll- ing and wounding many and picklag up arms, wagons, horses and a groat variety of other valnable property thrown y the enemy ta his wild flight. Theenemy never halted for a moment in his retreat, and when fast heard from the remoant of this spleudid force was hast- ening (ast to Merpbis to far different plight from that in which they bad #0 rocently More from their fortifica. tions.
