le, and Sussex, stealing all the horses and negroes which could be found in his way, and again enter Grant's lines by way of Stony creek; and if this point proved impracticable, to come out where he entered, at Reams's Station.--Kantz was to proceed to Danville, from thence to Greensboro', then on to Raleigh, and thence along the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad to Weldon. At the latter place, the bridge was to be burned, and Kantz was then to make for the Black water, and come around through Southampton, Surry, Sussex, and Prince George to Grant's headquarters. This officer states that the combined forces numbered all of eight thousand; that they were splendidly armed and equipped; well mounted; had picked men, and that, in all respects, it was intended to have been the grandest raid of the war, far eclipsing all similar expeditions, either East or West not excepting Grierson's great tramp through Mississippi, and Sheridan's contemplated march to Gordonsville, Charlottesville, Lynchburg

rom Paris, and who is acting in place of Capt. Semmes. We were yesterday paid off by M. Bonafile and Surgeon Galt. Most of the men belong to the original crew. There has never been any regular payment before, and on an average from a hundred and fifty to two hundred dollars apiece were due them. They have had liberty two or three times since the Alabama first went out and on these occasions have received a little liberty money. Captain Semmes's official report to Mr. Mason. Southampton, June 21, 1864. Sir: I have the honor to inform you that in accordance with my intention, as previously announced to you, I steamed out of the harbor of Cherbourg between nine and ten o'clock on the morning of the 19th of June for the purpose of engaging the enemy's steamer Kearsarge, which had been lying off and on the port for several days previously.

The reports of General Grant's operations on the north side of the James river, when pushing to the Weldon railroad; of Sheridan's action with Longstreet at Front Royal; and of Farragut's victory at Fort Morgan, had been received in England, and produced an impression decidedly favorable to the Union cause.

g relative to the capture of the steamer Florida: The Confederate authorities in London have received a telegraphic dispatch, dated Lisbon, from Captain Morris, commander of the Florida, stating that she was captured on the by the Federal steamer Wachusett in the harbor of Bahia, Brazil. At the time of the capture, the Florida was lying under the guns of the Brazilian forts and the Brazilian fleet, and Captain Morris was on shore. He is now on board the steamer Magdalena, bound for Southampton. The London Herald editorially denounces the capture of the Florida in the most indignant terms.

It is not a question that England can touch even with the longest possible diplomatic pole. The steamer Sacramento left Southampton on the 2d instant. Spain has sent an ultimatum to Peru, by Senor Pareja, that if full satisfaction is not given, the Spanish squadron is at once to seize the Republic and destroy the fleet.
