Richmond, Ded.4.-There has been aslight
movement among tho Federals in tins di
rection of Port Royal.
It is not improbable that Burnside may
attempt to cross the Rappahannock at
this point with the aid of a portion of a
brigade, under cover of their gunboats.
Partios smto that a party of Yankco
cavalry, numbering forty-five men, were

Views of the English Press on the Proposed
Mediation
Richmond, Doc. 6.
- Tho London Timos says we cannot look
upon the proposals of the Emperor ofFrance
as wholly useless, inasmuch as it called
foith such clear opinions from tho two lead
ing nations of Europe, and gives also
reason to bolieve that Russia, which tho
Republicans affect so much to admire, is
equally opposed to the policy at Washing
ton.
Thc Morning Herald says, of all politi
cal crimes since history began, this which
has just been committed by the English
Government, is one of the most .foolish and
unpardonable for cold-blooded cruelty and
pusillanimous betrayal of duty. Lord Rus
sell and colleagues are hardly to be match
ed among statesmen, living or dead; if rivals
of guilt are to be found they must be sought
among the Generals and Ministers of Lin
coln, and the agitators and self-styled
preachers of tho Gospel, who hound them
on to deeds of wickedness unpardonable in
the history of civilized warfare.
The Daily News show’s that the propo
sal of Frauce would benefit tho South, and
ignore tho North.
Distress In England.
Richmond, Deo. 2.—The London Times
has an editorial showing that the distress
in Engjand is growing to an alarming ex
tent. The general relief committee in
their roporlfor the last week in October,
say the number of persons in receipt of
parochial rolief in 24 unions of the dis
trict had risen to .208,7*23, an addition of
45,224 during the month of October. 182,-
401 operatives have baen thrown out of
employment in one district.
The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Times pays a deserved compliment
to tho Confederate commander in Virginia,
and tells something of the diffichlties to be
encountered by McClellan’s successor. Ho
says:
; There is another idea of which tho pub
lic mind ought to be disabused as soon as
possible. Great pai sa have been taken to
produce the impression -that all that was
necessary in order to bring on a general
^Sogomontr-was for oor- army to march
towards the rebels. Never was. there a
greater mistake. In, is idle to deny that
the events of the last four months have de
monstrated that General Lee is a master
of the art of war. One of the principled
upon which that is founded consists in-
avoiding battle whenever it is desirable to
do so. It has been desirable for the rebels!
to do so ever since the battle of Antietam.
They desire to draw our army as far from
Washington as possible, and as near to
their line of deienses on the Rappahannock
as they can. It is in General Lee’s power
to decide when and where he will fight,
and no General on our side, even if he had
advanced against him a month ago, could
have forced him to fight except at his
(Lee’s) own time, and on ground of his
own choosing. It will be so now. The
battle, if one takes place, will be fought
just where Gen. Lee wishes it to be, and
not until he is ready. This is a fact for
which no one is or can be to btame. When
we make war in an enemy’s country, wo
have to accept all tho conditions of war.
And it is ono of those conditions, and an
imperative one, that an army occupying
the position held by General Leo cannot
be forced to fight until thej’ wish to do so,
or until they have retired to their base.
A FeDEB.VD VlBW OF THE SITUATION OF
the South.—A letter vn the New York Her
ald, from Washington, gives that paper the
views ot a Federal officer of affairs at the
South. The writer says that the fortifica-
tious at Drury’s Bluff—which arc mounted
with the heaviest guns of English make—
have been connected by smaller forts and
rifle pits with tho works around Rich
mond, and that the authorities and people
of that city now feci secure; for, according
to their notion, tlie city cannot be taken
without a complete investment of all sides
army of threo or four hundred thousand
men. He says the Merrimac has beeo fit
ted out with English machinery and nine
guns, including a 250 pounder. The num
ber of troops around Richmond is estimat
ed at 16,000. He adds : .
The Southern people manifest satisfac
tion at the present condition of affairs,and
appear to be in no alarm about the future
—so say those who have lately been with
them. They are awnre of tlie disadvanta
ges they fight against, yet tho events of the
war have inspired them with confidence in
Jeff Davis and their Generals, and they
will succeed.

LATE NEWS FROM TUB NOTH AND EUROPE.
Richmond, D^jc. 7.—Northern dates to
Dec. 4th h ive been received by the Rich
mond Associated Press. They say that
thc Confederates are puzzled as to Burn
side’s plan of campaign f that the fact that
the Federal army has. remained quiet near
Fredrieksburg for a vyeek, is taken by Gon.
Lee as an indication that he is not to move
on from that point.
Washington correspondents of Northern
papers doubt tho report that Burnside has
been superceded ; and also predict warm
.work at Fredrieksburg before many days.
The proceedings of the Yankee Congress
are unimportant.
The steamer Chinn has arrived at New

There is an increasieg distress in the

The elections in America aro the thems

The London Herald says that tho rela

It is rumored that France has sent an
other note to England in response to Rus
sell’s reply to the previous note of France
proposing intervention in American af
fairs.
The London Saturday Review, thinks
that Napoleon has movements afoot which
do not appear on the surface of his medi

which they selected for thomsolvos virtual

armistice implies an opinion which may
shortly bo altered into language more in

There wus a slight, advance in cotton at

proposition, not only mediation, bat inter

Cobden that it would bo cheaper to keop all
