Ilia army wa* ifrawn u|> in a wild me rirjlH reeling on Luke Moanitz, and the lift six in ilea distant on a lull, lm h | v.is coveil'd with a tHlry. Two little aiream, fl rwed [list the army in'o the liite, bordered with marahrs to protect it, while on a high slope was pitched the Kin [•eroe'a tent, OTerlooVing the whole scene. Opposite the French army was a waving line of heights, the hiytiesi of which. Mount Pralzen, a lewr nnlca distant, | formed the centre of the lied forces, numbering niua tr til >usand men, corn til mdej ty the Emperors of i,us sia and Austria in person.

Slid slcnly the soldiers se z>d tlie bundles us straw that had b en supplied them for their beds, and lighting them at one end lifted them on poles over their In-ada, making | am illumination as sudden as it was unexpected.

The cry was caught by the next and the next battalion as he advanced, and prolonged bv those he hsj left, till the shout ol that immence ost filled ail ti e val.ey, and like the roar ol the sea over the heights, miles away—falling, with Bn ominous sound, on the camp of the enemy. It was a scene that baffles drscrijaion. Those myriad torch es, blazing and sw iri ii g to and fro in the da kness —a bloat] inass of flitne losing Us* if m the disiauce—and the shout oi that army, lolling in such deafuing accents after Napol-on. f irinej together a far more impusing irr inouy than bis coronation in the Capita), ivsjt morning at four o'clock, Napoleon waa on horseback beside his tent. The moon had just gone and n—the stars ahone pate and tiemulou* in the eky. and all was eib nt and tranquil around him. Not a sound broke from the immense bos’ tints umbered be -1 iw. over which the motionless fog lay like a white covering—or it might be a shroud ill anliripalinn of the thousands that ere n.gH would there lie stark and slilT m their laat sleep. Hut annJ this deep hush his quick ear caught a low continuous sound beyond the heights of Fratzen, frke the heavy tread of marching c dumm and rumbling of artdicrv carriages over tie ground. The deep murm-r passed s'prd.ly from tight to the left, showing that the the aides were gathering t lerr forces sgatnvt hia right wing. At length the sun r -se slowly above the horn n, tinging with gold the heights of Piaigeci, on which w e e seen moving dense roa -ee of infantry and pour, tl is gl triotu light over the sea of mist that ,(*[ tin the valleys below.

Bernsdoite. and Boult, who bad stood around him, parted like light rung from hia sadc, and swept in a headlong gall .p to their respective corps, Napoleon rode towards the cen're. and as he passed through the troops, said ‘Sol- Tiers! iho enemy has imprudently exposed himself to your stroke*, finish the e impugn with a chip of', thunder! ’ Vice /’ Eoiptrtur answered him in one ! long, protracted about. In the mean time, 8. olt emerged; with bis strong battalions, ftom the covering mist, and clothed in the ucta sunlight, ascended, with an mtiepid step, the slope of Pullen. It was a magtiifxcnn sight, and Napoleon watched with intense anxiety the advance of mat .plan, did array.

In a run uient the while frozen surface was covered with dark m saea of infantry, amt.l which were seen the ca. dully advancing squadrons of cavalry. Pressed by lh.- enor mous weight, iht ice could scarcr ly sustain the multi lude, when Boult suddenly ordered his cannon lo play upon it.

My satisfaction is extreme to observe the enthusiasm with which preparations are made to celebrate the two great blessings which have fallen upou this nation her independence and hei liberty —and I am t*n*tra ted with the deepest gratitude to find that my arrival at the capitol will be made to contribute to the solem nities of so great an occasion. In furthenince of this object, ! r'isll make iny entree in that city to-moirow at mid-day, and desire, in contributing my shar# to the national jubilee, to observe such a course as may beat accord with roy duties lo my country beloved of my heart—and with the respect due to the sovereign will of the people. I have been called by the voice of my fellow citizen* j to exercise the office of commander-in-chief of the : Army of the Republic. I was far from my native land ’ when intelligence of this renewed confidence, and of | these new obligations imposed upon me by my coun | try, was brought to me. and I saw that the imminent dangers which surrounded her on all sides formed the i chief motive for culling me to the head of the Army.

Ilence 1 hwe come without hesitation or delay to place myself hi subjection to her will, and, desirous to he perfectly understood, upon reaching my native soil, ! gave a full and public expression of my sentiments and principles. The reception which they met convinced me that f had not deceived myself, and I am now the more confirmed in them, not from hav ing given them more consideration, but because they have found a general echo in the beasts of all my fel low citcena.

S. steamer Telegraph, Oapt. Aulil, arrived yesterday from I’oit I.avacra via Galveston, having left the former place on the the ‘Jth and the latter on the 13iti inst. She had a rough passage all the wav. Up to the sailing of the Telegraph from Galveston, C o'clock P. M„ the Galveston had not arrived there. By this arrival we have a few itema from the divis ion of our army under Gen. Wool. We copy from the Victoria (Texas) Advocate. That paper, of the Ist inst,, says that Gen. Woni sent his advance, con sisting of 1 ftOO men. on the 26th alt., towards Chihu ahua. intending to follow in the course of a few days with the remainder of his division. The editor of the Advocate says: “We have seen a member of the Tennessee Mounted Kegimenl which he left at Lagrange a fiw days ago. He repotts that the regiment will tie fcete in a day or two. Quite a number of them were on the sick list. We have not learned their destination . but presume they will, will! the Keii'uckians, go hence lo Cxniargu lo join Gen. Tavlor.” The Kentucky Cavalry had removed their camp to Port Lavacca, the convenience of procU'ing forage be ing better there than on the bay where they at first en‘ camped. The whole regiment had orders to move to Camargo, and Would take up the line of march in eight or ten dxys. Those on the sick list were lapidly improving. Capt. Blake, 2d Regiment Dragoons, was in Victo ria on the 30lli ult., in company with Gen. Samuel Mitchell, escorting a specie tram to San Antonio; which funds were thought lo he for the payment of the Arkansas troops. Since the above was in type we learn that General Wool moved from San Antonio de Bexar on Tueadav, the 29th ult., at the head of 3,500 men, for Presidio de Rio Grande. His advance guard left three days previously, the26lh ult. Capts. Dickey and Doane, and Lieuts. Reed and Kellogg, of the Army, attached lo Gen. Wool’s di'is | ion, came pa-sen-’ers on the Telrgraph. She also i brought over forty five sick discharged volunteers. Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce. WaSHINIITOJI, OcTOBK* 10. According ton recent official estimate, the charge on j the Trtsury for the Army movemrntifor ‘.he nexteight werls will be ten millions. As there are now proba bly two or three millions left in the Treasury, Mr. Walker msy be able to get along till Congress assent- , hies with a loan of eight millions. The Government must and wilt abandon the Sub -1 treasury scheme. Early in the next seasion ntojifira liona of that system will be proposed. The specie clause will he further postponed, and the banka and bank notes, ami hank checks will be again resorted to by the Government. Some disbursing officers here received lately from the Treasury drafts on New York ; but they could do nothing with them. Thev were to mile payments in different places, and in both small and large sums, nnd found themselves, in fact, unable to make the payment*. One of them went lo New York with h s drsft, and obtained the amount in New York banknotes; but when he arrived here he found that they would not answer the purpose. In fact, no ayatem hut the old one would answer, and that was to depoaile Ilia bank notes, and make payments by checks.
