Italy, France and Spain anxiously awaitmne deter mined word from America to cast off their de tested chains. The General spoke with remark able earnestness. ’’ •< v i A Herald special dat«d Paris 5tb, says fresh papers of correspondence of the Imperial fami ly have been found at the Tuilleries which prove conclusively the existence of an organization in the whole country, by the Government, even to watching of public functionaries who denounced each other.

Washington, October 14.—It is generally be lieved that the government holds the Arlington estate by the confiscation act, which if true, the property would now revert to the widow of General Lee. The property was left by Mr. Oustis to Mrs. Lee, his daughter, as a life in terest, and at her death to Custis and Fitzhugh Lee—grand sons. The taxeB being unpaid dur ing the war, it became the property of the United States by purchase, and is now held by tax title. Efforts have been made to redeem it, but without avaiL The beat part of the estate is now covered by the National Oemetry. A very large and impressive meeting of the citizens was hold to-night at Metzeralt Hall, to pay respect to the memory of General Lee. The meeting was presided over by W. W. Cor coran, with a number of Vice Presidents and Secretaries. A series of resolutions were adopt ed unanimously, expressive of tho sentiments of the community, after which addresses were delivered by James M. Carlisle, Esq., Bichard T. Merrick, Esq., and Col. W. E. Philips. Lexington, October 14.—Everything about Lexington indicates it a house of mourning. To-day all the business houses are closed, and a deep gloom pervades the whole community. Memorial services were held yesterday and this morning in tho college, and were largely at tended. The remains were conveyed from his residence to the College Chapel, the following lie-ins the order of procession : An Escort of Honor, consisting of officers and soldiers of the late Confederate army, chaplain and other clergy, pall-bearers with body, old gray war-horse that carried Gen. Lee through all his campaigns in the late war, trustees and faoulty of Washington College, students, visitors and faculty, officers and ca dets, masons and odd fellows, citizens. Tho pall-bearers were Judge Anderson, David E. Moore, senior trustee Washington College, Ex- Governor John Letcher; Com. 1L F. Maury, of Virginia Military Institute; GoL W. Preston Johnston and Hon. Bandolph Tucker, Profes sors Washington College; Wm. L. Prather and Edward P. Clark, students Washington College; Capts. J. A. Bauds and J. H. Moore, soldiers O. 8. A.: Wm. G. White and Jos. G. Little, citizens of Lexington. The remains will lay in state in the College Chapel until interment to-morrow at twelve o’clock, si., and are there visited by thousands of grief stricken people, white and colored, old and young. The ladies of Lexington claimed it as their privilege to drape in mourning with their own hands, the College Chapel, which General Lee built, and beneath which he is to be buried, and the Episoopal Churob, of which he was a devout member. Meetings have been held by the faculty of the College and Military Institute, by the students of the College and sev eral literary societies; also officers andsoldiersof the late Confederate army, resident at Lexing ton, and the citizens of Lexington en mats, and touching resolutions were adopted to give ex pression of their universal sense of sorrow. The faculty of Washington College, after na appropriate preamble, adopted the following resolutions: Resolved, Thatinthemidstoftbedeepcalamity whioh has befallen us in the death of our be loved President, we, the faculty of Washington College, experience a profound pleasure and pride in recognizing the fact that the fame of General Lee, while it belongs to the whole country is, in an especial sense, an heritage of Washington College, and that it ia our duty, as it is onr privilege, to provide here suitable memo rials, whereby this precious possession shall be acknowledged and hie name publicly held in grateful remembrance by this College for ali future time. Resolved, That a committee be appointed to confer with a like committee from the board of visitors, and report measures and plans for the erection of a suitable monument to General Lee in the rpom in which his remains are to be interred; and further, to consider and reoom- mend such other monuments or memorials as may be deemed appropriate in the college, Resolved, That the said committees be re quested, jointly, to make arrangements for the delivery of a eulogy on Ihe life and character of General Lee, in the college chapel, on the 19th day of January, 1871, being the date of the an niversary of his birth-day; aud we also express a wish that this anniversary, like the birth-day of Washington, shall be hereafter always cele brated in the Washington College. Resolved, That these committees be requested to confer and report to their respective bodies, on the subject of so amending the present char ter of Washington College that the name of this institution may hereafter express in fit conjunc tion, the immortal name3 of Washington and Lee, whose lives were so similar in their perfect renown, and with both of whom equally, by good fortune, it is entitled to be associated in its future history. General Leo remarked two years ago to Gen eral Pendleton that he did not expect to live longer than two years more. The evening he was taken sick ho was unusually bright and cheorful. The remote reason of General Lee’s death was the long continuance of depressing moral causes commencing with tho weighty res ponsibiUty and anxieties during the last year of the war, and the effect which tho overthrow of the cause he loved, and the condition of the South since, has had upon him. He bore all with calm exterior and devoted himself to the duty of the hour, but tho fibres of his ereat heart were at last broken. The proximate cause of his death was mental and physical fatigue, inducing venous congestion of the brain and whioh grad ually caused cerebral exhaustion and death. San Francisco, October 14.—The Continent al, from Mazatlan, with a full caTgo, a full com plement of passengers and a large mail, encoun tered a severe gale on tho 28th of September, in the Golf, and sprung a leak.

Brown, Democratic candidate for Governor, and Colonel J. Burch Cook.

Wilmington, October 14—The steamship Washington, which cleared port to-day, took fire nine miles below the city, and was run ashore on tho point of a big island.
