UNION DEFENCE MEETING At Bryan Hall, *5 SiIUEPAT AUGUST U, AT 7-12 P. & Tbc Union Defence Committee, mindful of present condition of the conntry and. of the necessity which exists for prompt and de cisive action on the part of the Government in the suppression of the rebellion against the laws and Constitution, deem it their duty to call a meeting of the loyal citizens of Chica go, to aid the Government so far as it is in their power to do, by providing for the organ ization snd complete equipment of military companies among our citizens, raising and promoting the martial ardor of our people, -and providing means to assist the families of volunteers entering the service until they re ceive pay from the Government. Let every citizen rally to the call, forgetful of obsolete party organisations and issues, and remembering only that the guns which were fired upon Fort Sumter dissolved all such organizations and resolved the loyal peo ple of the Nation into one body for the defence gad perpetuation of the Union and the Con stitution. No other party now exists except that of traitors and their abetters. Gkobge Masibbbb, E. M. Hough, Eltpralet Wood, Of Unior- Defence Committee, TBE WAB nZETING-HS. CASt kKOS. # The War Meeting to-night, called by the Union Defence Committee, will unques tionably be fully attended. We hear notb- ing of the intentions of those at whose re quest the people will assemble, nor do we know anything of the programme. From the temper of the people, and the loud complaints that axe everywhere heard of the mismanagement and inefficiency of the War Department, we take it for granted that the occasion will not be allowed to pass without testing the feeling of the peo ple of this city by the introduction of a resolution asking the President to confide the military affaire of the country to new bands. It is not eurs to advise, but wc would suggest that if such a resolution is submitted, all charges of dishonesty and incompetency should be excluded and that the true grounds of the public impatience with Mr. Cameron should be stated—want of confidence. Of course the reasons for that won’t lie behind its expression; but they are so multiform in the minds of dif ferent men that they could not be all set forth in a single resolution; and then it is due to the man that he should not be condemned upon specific charges without an opportunity to be heard in his own de fence. It is sufficient to know, what in the West is emphatically true, that he does not satisfy public expectation, and that as long as lie remains at the head of the mili tary administration, the enlistment of men is greatly impeded, and the faith of the people in a speedy conclusion of hostili ties is shaken—two reasons that time will hardly overcome, and that are ample to justify his withdrawal from his place, Horn Owo* Lovejoy, and Ho*. £. 5. Washbume, both of whom were at the battle of Bull Run, were in town yester day, and from them we get additional fads in relation to the absurdity of Mr. Bussell’s account of the retreat. Mr. Waehburnc arrived at Fairfax Court Bouse direct from Centreville, three hours after Hr. Bussell passed, and even then but few soldiers had made their appearance there, and they were stragglers who in some way had avoided the Kew Jersey regiment that tnmed the broken columns back. Mr. Lovcjcy arrived in Washington about 4 c’clcck on Monday morning, bringing in some wounded soldiers *n au ambulance; and he reports that at that hour not two hundred men out of all the regiments that Mr. Bussell imagined he heard in his rear had arrived. He further says that though with Hunter’s column, and on the ground when the retreat towards Centre ville commenced, he did not see a soldier of our side run—not one. He had given up his horse to an aid of Gen. Tyler, and returned to Centreville on foot, and in the midst of hundreds of men who had got l separated from their regiments; but though unable to rally and form for want of offi cers, the soldiers came off at a moderate pace, all the while pre pared to do their best for defence if pur sued, as they were not Tet Mr. Bussell* eleven miles from Centreville, at 7.15, heard these men, in his rear, and the “ roar of the flight” was so great that it over powered or made uncertain to his ears the roar of the guns. Mr. Russeirg sense of bearing is as remarkable as Ins power of description. BUOLICAN AFFAIRS. A letter to the New York Times from, the City of Mexico, gives some very im portant news. It announces that England, France, and Spain hare simultaneously closed their relations with the Mexican Government, and withdrawn their Minis ters, on the ground that the Government 1 has, in Its financial extremity, suspended for two years payment of the interest on ■ its public debt. American extremity fur nishes European opportunity for interfer ence in Mexico, in defiance of the Monroe •doctrine. The object of these Powers, it is believed, is to establish a Protectorate of that unhappy country without asking -permission of the United States. Taking advantage of the domestic txoublesin the Great Republic, England, France and Spun grasp Mexico by the throat and do- 1 tnand payment of their claims—fair and fraudulent—under the penalty of seizing her ports and perhaps taking possession of thecountry. It is in vain that the Consti tutional Government represent that the country ha? just emerged from a civil war, which has prostrated its industry, deple ted the treasury, and dried up the resour ces of revet ue. It is in vain that that Gov ernment begged for time to establish order nnd put the wheels of industry, trade and commerce in motion, and obtain wherewith to liquidate their debts. The answer is, * your money or your life,* in genuine highwayman style. If these reports shall prove true, we will shortly have another serious complication on our hands. These powers will not be allowed to carry things with a high hand without resistance. „One of these days Uncle Sam will have his family troubles settled and then the Euro pean usurpations on this Continent will come up for adjustment. It will be recollected that ‘John C. during the extra session of Con* gc«ss t presented a peace petition purporting to come -from Niagara Falls, and fully signed. It is now stctrtained that the petition was got up privately, and that not a man or boy of Falla can be found who ajguedik It*™ 80 more loyal place in the country than Magan Falla. VOLUME XIV.

The uniforms of the 7th hav3 been delivered; those for the Sth are nearly ready. One thing about them which awakens local pride is the fact that they are a thoroughly home produc tion, and are well made at prices that would be an envy to some other States.

In its issue of yesterday It pours out half a column of small beer wrath, charging us with falsely and maliciously assailing the State officers. Upon investigation we find the obnoxious para graph to be the following leaded which appeared in our columns some days ago : Mubtsrkd Ott.—The Chicago Dragoons. Capt. C. W.

Now everybody can see that the State offi cers are not assailed in this paragraph; but in order to make out a case, the little Pod asserts that the Dragoons were never technically in the service of the United States, but in the service of the State of Illinois, and hence we assailed somebody at Springfield.

Tribune.] loitiSVllb, Aug. 18.165U Foiled and driven back in all their attempts to place Kentucky in the hands of undisguised traitors and pirates, the £. G. C. have deter mined, by Jesuitical strategy, to place her, if possibly4n sympathetic league with white-liv ered treason in the North, which has for its organs such calendars of falsehood and mis representation as The X. T. Day Book, The X. rf Xeiosy and The Cincinnati Inquirer. They desire to establish treason in sheep’s clothing, with a ffiy-llver, a white dag, and the assas sin’s knile concealed in its sheath. A call for a “ Peace-meeting” has been in the city paper* for several days. In The Cour* itr it was displayed thus: PEACE KEEPING. The people of Louisville, without reference to past party distinction, who are in favor of having PEACE, are requested to meet in the East Boom of .the Court House, on Saturday night, the ITthinstant, as a PEACE PARTY. The time has come to know who are for Peace and who for War 2 Ball; as Christian and rational men, as fearless leaders in THE GREAT PEACE MOVEMENT, to save your country from the farther horrors of CIVIL WAR, not regarding the threats or caj clings of those BLOODY SPIRITS whose purpose is War only, at home and abroad. RALLY FOE PEACE I The Union men of Louisville combine the shrewdness of serpents with the hanulesenes* of doves. So they repaired last night In great numbers to the rendezvous of peace, taking with them two or three neat litue specimens of the Stripes and Start on silk. The seces sionists, with their white flag and black pur pose, seceded to Concert Hail, and Were su perceded in the Court House by those who de sire the only peace which can endure. After speeches had been heard in the Court House to the number of four, the choir of peace sang the Star Spangled Banner in admirable style, and the spacious hall rang with the shouts of resolute freemen, and the joyful clapping ot bands. One of the speakers remarked, aptly, that those wha were cooing “ Peace 1” under a white flag in public, were wont to clasp their hands and sing paeans to to “ the glo rious victory of the South at Bull Bun.” They would like to get the Union men aside in the gate, to speak with them quietly, and there smite them under the fifth rib. When the al lies of Jeff. Davis hod retired to Concert Hall, a large portion of their crowd was composed cf rebels from Tennessee and States further South, who would like to have the Federal snn held by peace-sbriekers, while they strike Liberty to the heart. [The resolutions passed by the meeting have already appeared in our telegraphic columns.] I learn from trustworthy sources that the Ecru T. A. R. Kelson has been released by the pirates at Richmond. They fear his farther maltreatment might create an earthquake in Tennessee. Tou may rest assured that no feeling of tenderness toward a good man, no regara for the rights of humanity, no decent respect for the opinions ot mankind, no pity for the patriot's family, influenced their action. They trembled for the scalp of their invading freebooter, Zollicoffcr. Parson Bro widow ti TVAjphas not yet been suppressed, as was re ported. The cowardice of treason, however, is sit that prevents its suppression. Just so soon as Zollicoffer feels strong enoagh to af ford it, nc feeling of delicacy will restrain him from crushing out the gallant Brownlow; The traitor State Guard here have concealed a considerable lot of State arms in cellars of Secessionists, and it is believed they intend to convey them 10 the Tennessee rebels. It is not my impression, however, that the Union men will peaceably suffer the outrage to be perpetrated; and if they will but sufficiently show their bristles, the conspirator Magoffin will interfere to prevent a secession faux pas. The Governor loves the rebels too dearly to see them suffer open disgrace. One box of the muskets was stopped by an inspector at the Nashville depot, and is now la possession of the United States Government. The Inaubordlnste Troops. Special Dispatch, to the N. T. Tribune.

Another alleged Brit ish vessel, the Herald, also sent here, dis • closes another swindle of the same kind. Lord Lyons demanded her release, which was made out and sent here, bat in the interval the vessel arrived and went into the hands of onr authorities. Lord Lyons remonstrated with Mr. Seward, who again ordered her de livered to her British owners. But before the order reached here, onr authorities discovered that her owners were Americans, and that when captured she was actually under orders to run the blockade of Charleston. On learn ing these facte, Mr, Seward withdrew the or der to release, and directed tha vessel to be held subject to the decision of our Prize Court. Two fugitive cheltles from Virginia went through here last week. They say all the ne groes now want is for our Government to arm them. Let such a fact be once'generally known—the willingness of the Commanding General to receive, arm and drill them—and he can have, almost immediately, more meu than Davis has or can ever muster. They are longing to be permitted to fight for freedom. They wily understand the nature of the con test going on.

IMPOST AW r FBOM MEXICO, Suspension of Diplomatic Relations by France and England— Interior Designs of the English cndFrench Governments —A Scheme qf Wrong end Plunder—Friendliness cf Mexico Uncords the United States. [Correspondence of the If. T. Times.] Crrr or Msxico, July 89,1801. The news ot the suspension qf relation* with this Government by the English and French Min isten. which goes by this mail, will inform you of the giavxty_of the events which are occur ing here, and which merit the Immediate at ■ tention of the American people, unless wesre willing to see Mexico placed under the pro tectorate of England and France, and perhaps *ade a colony of the former Power. This event is brought about by two causes; first, the opposition of the French Minister, and, under Ms Influence, of the British Min ister, to the cause of constitutional Govern ment in this country; and, secoud, the be lief entertained by the English and French Governments, or that was entertained, that the American Union was permanently dissolved ami consequently its power gone, and the etiU more confident be lief entertained that such was the case by these Ministers personally, which has led them, to think that any step calculated to bring about an opportunity for European in tervention here would be not only seconded but warmly approved by their respective Gov ernments, as was the action to the Santo Do* tningo affair by that of Spain. Ai galigny, the French Minister, is a par ticular friend and admirer of Mr. Benjamia, of Louisiana, and lean open.partisan of the South. Sir Charles Wyke has sympathies much the same way, and la greatly under the influence of Saligny. The immediate pretext of this rupture of re lations and threatened resort to force against this country by England and France, la the passage of a law by the Congress now in ses iion here, suspending all payments on account ol the debts of the Government for two years, in order that it may have the means to finish the reaction, restore the country to order and security, and reorganize the finances of the country os a sound basis, lowering the tariff and introducing other reforms for which a few months’ breathing spell and the command of some resources is necessary. ■While the assignment of upwards ot 65 per cent of its revenue was made to the payment of interest, etc., on its foreign debt (and wh ch assignment Las been faithfully paid over du ring ail the revolution), it was impossible to sustain the Government and make these re forms. What makes it mere evident that there is some ulterior design in this hasty and violent rupture on the part of France and England, is the fact that both of these Ministers here hare admitted the necessity for this suspension, for a time, of payments, and b/foreit was passed, only objeced to the proposed manner of it; that Is, that it was done by Congress without driving a previous bargain with them about it. But the moment it is done, they hasten to put on it the gravest character; talk of the viola litioc O! solemn international compacts, and threaten that :f Congress does rot turn upon Its own acts and repeal them at foreign de mand, they will break off relations and coun sel their Governments to seize the ports of the country. It is demonstraiedbeyond any further ques tion that the will of the people of this conn tiy is lor a constitutional Government. ' Nar polecm’s doctrine of satisfied nationalities lorces us then to admit that a const&v&ondl Government must be sustained, if any , iutais country. Neither the English nor the French Minister want such a Government hero. 'Does not England and France think, in the sup posed weakness of the United States, of Bet ting up a Government in this country. It would terribly circumscribe the extension and future power of the United States, whether . united, or of either part, if separated. These are crave inquiries. They should be laid be fore the American people, and our Government should not act without the people having in formation of what is going on. The interior affairs ofthe country improve but slowly. Every intuence of the clergy, the moderados, the ambitious and the disaf fected is put forth to embarrass and to weaken the Constitutional Government; and the wonder Is not that it accomplishes so little, but that it keeps on at aVL The principle ol “no more revolutions” ha«, however, gamed great andlastlng hold of the minds of the people in the respective States ; but in this hot bed (this city) of clergy and corrupt foreign influences, it is almost impos sible for any just or- well-intentioned govern ment to stand. Besides it has no resources. The commerce of the conntey has become afcscet -ruluod -fj/ the long civil war, and has ceased to afford its usual revenue to the Government. There is not strength enough on the part of the Gov ernment to impose direct taxation; and the property ol the clergy, which was national ized, has entirely disappeared. This latter is not strange when we consider that the chief - ideas of the authors of this naturalization was pimply to destroy the power of the Church, even if the property was given away; and as the laws provided for its sale by the payment of 60 per cent, in bonds of the interior of foreign debt, (necessarily the former were re ceived, and not the latter, as the one were at 7 and the other at 20,) anddOper cent, in for ty to eighty monthly payments, the Govern ment only received what it could realize by the discount of these forty to eighty mouths’ notes, which being worth, in the prevailing uncertainty of affairs, only 15 to 25 per cent, on the dollar, it is easy to see that the actual smouEt realized by the Goyenunrnt been very email, end bow that resources exhausted. Mexico can look for aid or protection only to the United States; and if Eogland and France are going to take advan tage of our supposed weakness to get a foothold here, we must prevent it The feeling here, on the part of the Constitutional parly towards the Forth and Mr. Corwin ia excel lent, "With that party and Government we am do anything wc please; with any other parly it will be difficult; with the Church party it would be impossible to treat Gov.

That monster in human shape put him to every possible in dignity—After detaining him in adungeon for two days he handed him over to his soldiers, who kicked h m, togged him, spit in his face, shot him repeatedly until he was half killed, and then hung him up to die by lingering ag onies. The same day that Don 'Melchoir was cap tured, the clerical troops under General Gal vev, seized another liberal, Senor Scbiafino, but instead of killing him demanded from his friends SBO,OOO and thus hundred rifles for bis redemption. Just before the date of our intelligence this ransom bad bean paid, and Scbiafino freed by the priestly brigands. When the news of these outrages reached Ihecifyof Mexico, the whole public was sroused to frenzy. The printing office of one cf the clerical newspapers was- mobbed and destroyed, and the people went en masse to President Juarez, clamoring for an immediate attack upon the clericals. Generals De Golado, Ortega, Arteaga and Valle were Immediately sent in pursuit of Marquez and Galvez, the leaders of the clerical forces. While the for mer was reconnoitring with a small party near the Leanos de Salazar, his party was entirety cut to pieces by Galvez, ana De Gollado killed. General Valle followed in the same road, sad after the utter demolition ot Me force was I likewise slain. Ortega and Arteaga were still hotly pressing Marquez, who, with four thousand men, had retiredbn San Cristobal The city of Mexico had been put under mar tial law, General Parrodi being first comman der of the city, Uruaga second, and Jana Jose Bay, Governor.

This power rests with the War and Treasury Departments alone, and eo lon* as these departments forbear to exer cise it, correspondence between the insurgents of the South and their friends and abettors in the North may be lawfully continued. His power over the matter extends only to the protection of the revenues of the Department from fraud by conveyance of this circuitous correspondence over the post routes of the United States, partly in the mails and partly by private expresses, unlawfully. This, the Postmaster General believes, has been effectu ally done in the manner set forth in his letter on the subject to General McClellan, pub lished a few weeks ago. He concludes by saying: “ You have doubtless perceived that the President, in pursuance of an act of Congress passed at its recent session, has, by proclama tion of the 10th inst,, declared that all com marcial intercourse between the insurgent States, or the people thereof mid the loyal States, is unlawful. It is presumed that in structions will be issued by the Treasury De partment for the enforcement of this declara tion, and that the abuse of which you com plain wiff be efficiently suppressed.” Hie French Freu on the Ball Baa Fefeatt The correspondent ol the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser says: The disastrous defeat of the Union army at Manassas has served to increase the apparent hostility to the North. The PatrU , tiii lately a ministerial journal, now proclaims that the North has shown itself incapable of struggling against the South, and recommends the French Government to recognize the new conlederacy and thus put an end to the ua natural strife. Journal' des Debate, the most respectable of French papers, which, a week ago published a long article in favor of the North, and which generally defended the cause of the Union, published on Saturday last a long and ably written archie in favor of the South and in favor of an early recogni tion. The most serious feature of this last article is, that whereas M. Wiesse generally signed former articles, this one was signed by the secretary of the editors, (which is a mere cover to protect the reil writer,) and hears the impress of having been written by the political economist of the paper, M- Michel Chevatiier. >r. Chevaliier is a Senator of the Empire, and the leading economist of the country; he has traveled in America, takes an active interest in American affairs, and has the reputation among his countrymen of possessing a thor ough knowledge of the American people and their institutions. His influence, therefore, upon the French Government is perhaps greater than that of aay other man, and, if the conjecture in- re gard to the authorship ot the article in the Debate be not ill founded, the circumstance possesses a certain degree of gravity. As late as three weeks ago, M. ChevaUier still.ex pressed himself to Americans strongly in favor of the Union, coupling his expressions, however, with a reserve against the protec tionist policy of the North, for like his friend mid co operator, Hr. Cobden, is an un compromising free-trader. Facta Not Complimentary.
