Foreign intervention. the report of Mr. Geoffrey, first Secretary of the French Legation; as taken to Paris — views of M. Mercier. The following are extract from a letter, dated Washington; May 22, published in the New York Times: Previous to his departure for Europe, on the 30th ult Mr. Geoffrey First Secretary of Legation, (French) communicated to some of his friends in Washington the result of his observations in Richmond, where he had been in company of Count Mercier. Mr. Geoffrey was of opinion that the rebels may be conquered may suffer defeat upon defeat, but that they will never submit nor be subdued He was particularly struck with the unanimity of feeling there respecting the conduct of the war. He could not find a single man who was not for fighting to the last rather than surrender. The whole population suffers the greatest privations without complaint. Every necessary of life, is heavily taxed — bread, meat, salt, vegetables-- still the people s
of the public press, it was graciously allowed to be telegraphed North as follows: The rebels made a dash at Gen. Banks's line, near Front Royal, this afternoon, and attempted to burn the railroad bridge recently rebuilt by the Federal forces over the Shenandoah. The particulars of this movement have not yet been ascertained. News from the Peninsula — advance of the "grand army." The Fortress Monroe correspondent of the Northern press telegraphs the following under date of May 22. Some of the statements will amuse our readers: The steamer from White House this afternoon brings a number of passengers from the headquarters of General McClellan's army, which were in proximity to Bottom's Bridge, over which a portion of the army has already passed, the second division having crossed the Chickahominy at New Bridge, about seven miles further up, and within eight miles of Richmond.

Later from Corinth The last press dispatch from Corinth was dated May 22d, and contained accounts of heavy skirmishing, with the prospect of an immediate battle. By a dispatch re- at the War Office we have "seven days later," which announces matters as before, skirmishing still going on and no general engagement. This dispatch was dated the 29th, so the rumors in this city about a fight had no foundation in fact. The troops are represented in good condition, and confident of their ability to whip the Yankee army.
From Europe. The steamship City of New York, with European dates to the 22d of May, arrived at Cape Race on the 31st. The following telegraphic summary comes through the medium of the Northern press: The English journals continue to expatiate on the retreat from Yorktown and the fall of Rew Orleans. The Times treats the retreat from Yorktown as a great reverse to the Confederates, and says if Richmond is captured it will be a tremendous victory to the United States. It metaphorically enlarges on the difficulties that must ar in governing the South, when the United States, by continual victories, have brought the Confederates within their power. The Daily News says, although the full of New Orleans, in a military sense, cannot be overrated, it is of far greater importance in its social, commercial and political results, as the possession of the Mississippi opens the way for the industrial energy of freedom. and altogether destroys the political position and ter

up open a mere paper bombardment. Nothing will be left undone to provice for the enemy when he comes. The General commanding advises the people to keep cool — there is no danger. When the enemy lands and endeavors to penetrate into the interior, he will be fought on every inch of ground.

and screamed for aid just as she was about to take the leap into the water. On Sunday last, she and the child Juliette, were found by the police at her residence, No. 382 Avenue A, both in an insensible condition. Mrs. Phillipe was lying upon a bed in one room, and her daughter in a room adjoining. They were immediately conveyed to Bellevue Hospital, and every assistance possible was rendered, but without success; they both died soon after. An empty five-ounce bottle, which had contained laudanum, was found in the possession of the unfortunate woman. The verdict of the jury in the case of Mrs. Phillipe was, "that she came to her death by means of a narcotic poison, administered to herself." In the case of the child, the jury believed that the cause of death was owing to a dose of the same kind of poison, administered by the mother. She is said to have been a very intelligent and respectable woman well known to many people in this city and Brooklyn.--New York Times, May 22.
