Elkâ€"The steam- ship " Arabia,” from Liverpool on the 15th, and Queenstown on the 16th, paswd this point at six o’clock this morning. and ‘Was boarded by tile news yacht of the New York ASsociated Press. The steamship “Bavaria,” frotn New York, arrived out on the 14th. The English government has dissented from the French proposal for mediation. The London Gazette publishes Eearl Russell’s official reply, dated Nov. 13.-â€" 1t recapitulatcs the circular of Drouyn de L’Huys, propOsing mediation. It recog- nizes the humane views and benevolent in- (cations of the Emperor, and observes that the concurrence of Russia would be expressly desirable, but that up to the pre~ sent time the Russian Government had not agreed to actively co-Operate, although it may support the endeavours of England and France. The question for, considera- tion was not attainable at the present time. Earl Russel then communicates the de- cision of Her Majesty’s Government as follows:â€"â€" r After weighing all information received from America, the Government is led tO conclude that there is no ground at the . present moment to hope that the Federal Government would accept the prOpOSItions luggested, and a refusal from Washing too at the present time would prevent any speedy renewal of the offices of the Go- Vernment. Therefore he thinks it better to watch carefully the progress of opinion in America, and if there appears reason to hope it may be found to have undergone , or may undergo any change, this Govern- ment may then avail themselves of such chance to offer their friendly counsel With a greater prOSpect than now exists of its being accepted by the two contending parties. Her Majesty’s Government will com- municate to the French Government any intelligence they may receive from Wash- ington or Richmond bearing on this im- portant subject. I V 0 . The London szes, editorially, ob- serves of Earl Russell’s despateh. that his arguments have been anticipated by the public, and that this is the beat proof of their soundness. LATEST VIA QUEENSTOVVN. The “Australian” arrived at Queens town this afternoon. Earl Russell’s despatch produced no effect commert-ially. The Australian's news of the election was received after business hours. 1‘" RANCE. The Zidomteur says the answer ofEno- land and Russia is an adjournment of the American question of mediation. It adds. if our inforinatioii is correct, tne hesitation Of England and Russia has nearly reached its limit. The recent elections testify the pro gress of peace Opinions, which appear likely to command a majority in the next Con ,_ gress. ' CALCUTTA, Oct.

General Arnold is suffering under a paralytic stroke. Military Governor Shepley has issued a proclamation, calling upon the loyal elcc~ tors of the 3st and 2nd CongresSional dis- lricts of Louisiana to choose representa. lives to Congress, and appointing the 30th of‘Deceinheras the day for holding the election. “ ‘ I One hundred and twenty v four men of the 8th Vermont Regiment captured on the 4th of September by the rebels. were returned to New Orleans on the 13th of September. Seven of their comrades had been shothy the rebels for having enlisted in New Orleans. Three hundred and three former Confederates who had also enlisted in the 81h Regiment, also Sear- gcant Mills and private Spear, both of ioyalton, Vermont, were detained at ,Vicksburg, and :four died during their cap- tivity. Gen. Butler had seized and closed the Bank, of New Orleans, for sending $405,- 000 in specie wtthin 60 days io'the rebel 'GOvernment. The Specie had been pre- viously reported to General Butler as being sent' way, which was not the. fact. A cavalry reconrioissance front General Weltzel‘s force, captured two cannons within, four miles of Baton Rouge.

A despatch from Summer’s Headquar- ters, 23rd instant, states that 15 desei'ters from the rebels say Longstreet’s division has arrived at Fredericksburg, and Hill’s corps is expected hourly. The talk in the rebel camp is to the effect that Lee intends to dispute the Federal crossing of the Rapahaiiiioek with his entire force. MiLWAUKEE, Nov. 25.â€"-Gen.

Kelly yesterday. sent Oitt scouts from New Creek, who captured a rebel“ cavalry picket Of 12 men, with horses and accoutrements, within four miles of Winchester. The prisoners say that Jackson had started with his whole force for Richmond by way ofFront Royal, leaving only a regiment of cavalry at Winchester, instructed to follow in a few days. The probability is that our forces will occupy Winchester in a few days, when the work of reconstructing the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will com- mence and be completed in 12 days. ‘ (Special to the Herald.) HARPER’S Fiziinv, V..., 24ih.â€"â€"News Of interest has reached me from the head quarters of Stonewall Jackson as late as Saturday last. Jackson then had his headquarters at Berryvrlle, and was there in person; his force was 30 000, and the number of his guns 60. ' On Friday even- ing Jackson received the following tele. gram from Jeff. Davis:â€" “' it you do not leave the valley at once and come to help us to defend Richmond, it will not be worth your while to come to its defence at. all.” Jackson‘s reply is not knowo, but his forces Were not in motion on Saturday.â€" T‘lie inference is that he replied iii the ne. gative. This was the fourth despaich jackson received from Davis calling on him to come to the defence Of Richmond. THE coNrcncaA'rcs IN KENTUCKY. Regarding" tlie'amount of supplies taken from Kentucky by 9 Gen. Brugg’s army, the Lexington Observer says :â€" “ We were here in Lexington and saw something. of the. removal Of Government stores, and Wit‘nessed the plunderings‘ of the rebel armies of our dry goods stores“,- groceries, etc). ;Upon the. resumption of the publicatiOngof. our paper, we stated that. an immense amount of Government stores, amounting, perhaps, to 1 000,000, beSides arms sufficient to arm eighteen or twenty thousand men, were taken Off, and we statedpi'ecisely the truth, and there are hundreds here who will hear us out in that statement. There is no justifica- tion nor anything to be made by dodging or disguising the facts in the case, and we shall not do so. We are not inclined to, think the Richmond Exammer far wrong when it publishes that i the waggon train of supplies brought outof Kentucky .by Gen. Kirby. Smith Was forty miles long, and brought a million yards of jeans, with a large amount Of clothing, boots and shoes, and 200 wagon-loads of bacon, 6,000 barrels pork, 1,500 mules and horses, 8,000‘beeves, and a large lot of From the city of Frankfort it is stated that 74,900 yards'of jeans were taken from the eSt‘ablishment of‘ Mr. Wat- ‘ son. : From one concern in" this city they took $106,000 worthof jeans and linseys, from another 10.000 worth, another $9,- 000, another $10,000, another $5,000.

A short time ago it was currently reported, that the Hon. ',_D_avid Reesor, by virtue of his relationship to the Commissioner of Crown Lands. was about to make a grand speculation in. Indian lands, in the Manitoulin Islands. These islands are situated in the northern part of Lake neuron, and thesoilis said to be remarkably rich, and Well adapt- ed for farming purposes. "l‘he pre- ciseconditionsjoffine“ arrangement .were notdefiniiely stated. But the Hon; gentleman, it appears, visited the place, examined the land, and everything was in a fair way of being satisfactorily settled, when alas, some unforeseen circornsiances The. Markham Economist is highly indignant that any. one. should have the audacity to refer to t'thic .mah v let‘s, or interfere with the speeula- q tions of its proprietor. Theyintenz tion,’ boniever, to do all that is charged agaist him in reference to these lands is not denied. On the contrary, his paper voluntarily makes the admission, that he \ias quite'willing and desirous to pur- chase the Manitoulin lands, at far below their real value if he had only the opportunity; and it is quite evident, front the language used, that the Crown Land Commissioner was fully satisfied to permit him to do so. lt may therefore be reason- ably inferred, that the Obstacles which have. been thrown in the way, have arisen from causes be- yond the control of either of these gentlemen. What these obstacles are we do not pretend to say.â€" Whether they have arisen from the disapproval of the other ministers, or from a fear of public indignation, Will probably never be disclosed. Bit we shall let Mr. Reesor speak for himself. 'l‘lie‘following appears in his last week’s Economist, under the heading of " lmpudencc” :~â€"- “ A corruptiomst journal inti- mates ihat Mr. Reesor has pur- chased the Manitoulin Island, at far below its real value. This might be true- but for tile following re' - sonszeâ€" - _ 1st. “The Manitoulin Island is not yet-in the mvarket’for sale. '2nd “ The lands will be sold sub- ject to actual settlement. 3rd. “ The Manitoulins are esiiv mated to embrace about one million of acres, rather more land. we ima- gine, than Mr. Reesor' Would be able 'to settle.” Here it is freely acknowledged, that. the charge “might be true," but for the three reasons stated.â€" Thai is to say ; if these lands were in the market, not subject to actual settlement; and if they were not quite so extensive, then it “might be true” that Mr. {eesor would have boughtthem all up at far below iliei value. Of course he must have full confidence that his Oblig lug relative would be quite willing to approve of such a transaction, or he could not be so positive. This is certainly the plain interpretation of the remarks we have quoted.â€" They were very approp; lately styled “impudence,” and fairly entitles the Economist to the appelation ‘- corruptionisi." which it - so freely “>04”.
