d. In the campaign of 1805, General Mack marched into Bavaria with an army of 80,000 men, and made his headquarters at Ulm. The Emperor Napoleon induced him to believe that he intended to invade Germany by the route which runs through the Black Forrest and passes through that town. He made preparations to repel an attack in front, but, like Pope, he left his rear to take care of itself leaving five or six detachments of several thousand men each, at different points between himself and Vienna. Napoleon crossed the Rhine at five different points, at each of which there was a road leading to Mack's rear, and averring Ulm altogether.--Each of his corps fell upon one of Mack's detachments, and after these had all been rolled they concentrated in his rear, and forced him to surrender. This has always been looked upon as one of the boldest, and at the same time, ablest military operations of modern times. In the Prussian campaign of 1806 the Duke of Brunswick moved towards the f
arates existence of the Confederate States is a fact as weighs a necessity; the impossibility of reducing them is demonstrated. Can Europe wait any longer before recognizing them? Will she require that they shall have taken Washington? That will be asking of them what was not asked of the Greeks, the Belgians, or the Italians sufficed for the recognition of the independence of these peoples that they were masters of Athens, and Milen.

[From the London Times, Sept. 16.] The people of the Confederate States have made themselves famous. If the renown of brilliant courage, stern devotion to a cause, and military achievements almost without a parallel, can compensate men for the toil and privations of the hour, then the countrymen of Lee and Jackson may be consoled amid their suffe
Later from Europe. The stoneship City of Washington, from Liverpool on the 25th ult., has arrived at New York. --The American Consul at Vienna wrote to Garibaldi, asking him, as he had failed in his patriotic efforts in Italy, if he would offer his valiant in the American struggle for liberty and unity, and promising him as enthusiastic reception. Garthaldi, under date of Sept. 14th, replied: "I am a prisoner, and dangerously wounded. It is consequently impossible for me to dis my wounds are healed, I shall take the first favorable opportunity to satisfy my desire to active the great American Republic, of which I am a citizen, and which is now fighting for universal liberty."

The Pope. --A letter from Roma, published by the Wanderer, of Vienna, contains the following statement: The Pope's health is not very satisfactory. His own position and that of Italy weighs on his mind. His Holiness lately remarked to an ecclesiastical dignitary: "The hand of Providence has already written for me the Mone, Mone, Tekel, Upharsin.--My days are numbered; my acts are weighed in the balance of Divine Justice, and I hope they will not be found too far wanting; my empire is falling into regular hands. Will it be for long? who knows?" The Pope almost every day received from foreign

rlands," as they were called, ten in number, and constituting what is now called Belgium, were transferred a second time to the Crown of Germany by the treaty of Utrecht, in 1714. They were among the first conquests made by the French Republicans, in the beginning of the Revolution. They were afterwards annexed to France by Napoleon. But the Allies, by the treaty of Paris in 1814, united them to Holland, and made the Prince of Orange sovereign over both them and Holland. By the treaty of Vienna, in 1815, the low countries were clubbed together, christened the "Kingdom of the Netherlands." and made to receive a "King of the Netherlands," in the person of the aforesaid Prince of range. That the ten Catholic Provinces were not restored to Austria, (the Emperor of Germany took the title of Emperor of Austria in 1805) was scisly owing to the repugnance of Francis II., who said that they had been a source of vast expense and trouble to his predecessors, and had produced them nothing, and
reasure there. News of War Movements. There was a fight at Dumfries on Saturday last, between Gen. Stuart and three regiments and a section of artillery on the part of the enemy. At this point the Herald says Stuart was worsted, though it also says he captured one gun, but was compelled to leave it. Stuart also had a brush with Col. Candy, at Occoquan, in which the Yankees sustained considerable loss. Stuart next made his way to Annandale, by way of Bull Run and Wolf Run; thence to Vienna, which place he passed through at midnight. The Herald says all he got was some sutlers' wagons and some ambulances. The Herald reports that Fort Hudson has been captured. The retreat of Gen. Hatch across the Tallahatchie is confirmed. Gen. Morgan made a successful raid to Elizabethtown, Ky., on the 27th, and drove the troops from their stockade defences, capturing six hundred prisoners, and so destroyed the Nashville and Louisville Railroad, the Herald says, as to suspend com
he Herald says, by "latest advices from Europe the insurrection in Poland has assumed most formidable proportions. The most important fact announced is that Russia and Prussia have made an engagement whereby the latter power allows Russian troops to pass over her territories — a fact which foreshadows that Prussia will cooperate with the Czar to put down a rebellion which bids fair to deprive her of her share of Poland proper. It is added that the Cabinets of St. James, the Tuilleries, and Vienna, have taken umbrage at the understanding which seems to exist upon this subject between Russia and Prussia, and that Napoleon is already concocting a dispatch to the Prussian government showing how great is his regret that Prussia should depart from the principle of non intervention. It is evident all Europe will feel the influence of this great and sustained revolutionary movement in Poland, and that Napoleon will find scope for his energies quite near at home. This will leave us to deal

Poland. At Londek the Russians had to retreat on the 16th, after an important engagement with the Poles. Russell has addressed a circular to the British Minister at all the European capitals, whose object is to induce the foreign Cabinets to support his dispatch to Lord Maple at St. Petersburg, dated March 4th. It is believed the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin will object, Spain has not yet acceded. Nothing is said of other Gallants. The Provisional Government of Poland will publish a paper at the headquarters of the army in the national language, and also in French, to give true accounts of military operations.

If this is the liberty we are to enjoy — if this is the manner in which American citizens are to be treated, we have worse despotism than ever was seen in Vienna. If this is the Government we have to support and protect, then I say G — d d — n such a Government! It is a well known fact that I am the only Union man in the city who had the daring, during the rebel term here, to stand up and speak his sentiments."
