The prize steamer Labrian, (British,) captured by the U. S. sloop-of-war Portsmouth, near the Rio Grande, has arrived at New York, in charge of her captors. It is more than likely that this affair will lead to fresh complications with Great Britain. Mr. Edwin De Leon, for some years past the Consul General to Egypt, passed through Lynchburg on Monday, with dispatches from Europe for our Government. Parson Brownlow is very ill at his home in Knoxville, Tenn., and not expected to recover. A petition has been very numerously signed in Petersburg, praying the President to proclaim martial law in that city.
