While glorious for our people, and of crushing e0ect upon the morale of our nitherto confident aud overweening adversary', aa were the events of the battle ot Manassas, the field was only won by stout ngbtius, and, as before stated, with much loss, as is precisely exhibited in the papers herewith marked aud and being lists of the killed and wounded. The killed ootrigbc numbered SCiH-the wounded 1483, making an aggregate of 1852. actual less of the enemy will never be known it may now only be conjectured. Their abandoned dead, aa they were buried by our people where tney fell, unfortunately, were not enumerated, but many parts of the field were thick with their corpses, as hut lew battle fields have ever been.

The officii! reports of the enemy are studiously silent on this point, but still afford ua data for an approximate estimate. Lett almost in the dark in respect to the losses ol' and Heintzlemun's divisions first, longest and mut hotly engaged we ere informed that Sherman' brigade Tyler's division suffered, in killed, wmiaded and missing, 609 that is, about 18 per cent, of the brigade. A reglmeut of Kraitkliu's brigade Gorman's lost 21 per cent, (iritiin's (battery loss was ao per cent and that of Keyes's brigade, whii lr was so handled by its commander as to be exposed to only occasional volleys from our troops, was at least 1" per cent. To these facts add the repeated references in the reports of the more reticeut commanders, to the murderous" fire to whieh they were habitually exposed the "pistol range" volleys, aud galling m-is-aetry, of which they apeak, as scourging their ranks, and we are warranted in placing the entire loss of the Federalists at over forty five hundred iu killed, wounded and prisoners. To this may be legitimately added, as a casualty of the battle, the thousands ot fugitives from the field who have never rejoined their regiments, and who are as much lost to the enemy's service as if slain or diaabled by wounds.

These may not be included under tbe head of because In every instance of such report we took as mauy firisoners of those brigades or regiments as are reported missing." A list appended exhibits some 1400 ot their wounded and others, who fell in our hands and were sunt to Richmond some were sent to other points, so the number of prisoners, including woauaed who did not die, msy be set down as not less than lb.m. Besides these, a considerable number who oould not be removed from the field, died at several farm houses and field hospitals within ten dsys following the battle. To terra the future historian of this war, I will note the fact that, among the captured Federalists, are officers sad men of srry-seeea regiments of volunteers, besides from some nine different regiments of regular troops, detachments oi which were engaged. From official reports we learn of a regiment of volunteers engaged, six regiments of Miles's division, and the five regiments of Runyon's brigade, from whieh we have neither sound or wounded prisoners. Making all allowances for mistakes, we are warranted In saying that the Federal army consisted of at least fifty-five regiments of volunteers, eight companies of regular Infantry, four of marines, nine of the regular cavalry, and twelve batteries, 119 guns.

These regiments at on time, aa will appear from a published list appended, marked numbered in the aggregate 54,140, and ay erase 964 men each. From an order of the enemy's commander, however, dated July 13, we learn that one hundred men from each regiment were ordered to remain in charge of respective Some allowance must further be made for the sick and details, wulsh would reduce the average to BOO. Adding the regular cavalry, infantry and artillery present, an estimate of their force may be mada. --i A paper appended, marked exhibits. In part, the ordnance and suppliea captured including some twenty-eight field pieces of the best character of arm, with over one hundred rounds of ammunition for each gun, thirty-seven caissons, six forges, four battery wagons, rtxty-four artillery horses, completaly equipped, live hundred thousand of small arms ammunition, fsur thonssnd five hundred sets rounds of accoutrements, over Ave hundred muskets, some nine regimental and garrison flags, with a large number of pistols, knapsacks, swords, canteens, blankets, a large store of axes and entreiudilne tools, wasons.

Added to these results may rightly be noticed here that by this battle an invading army superbly equipped, within twenty miles of their base of operations, has been converted Into one virtually besieged, and excessively occupied for months In the construction of a stupendous series ol fortifications for the protection of its ewn capital. I beg to oall attention to the reporU of the several subordinate commanders for reference to the sigual parte played by individuals of their respective cooi-wiends Contradictory statements found iu these reports should not excite sunrise when we remember bow difficult, If not impossible, it is to reconcile the post inconsiderable affair, much leu the shlttioi thHllins aeanas nf hsttlo S.M Accompanying are maps showing the positions of the armies en the morning of the 21st July, and of three several stages of the battle also, of the line of Bull Aua north of Blackburn's Ford.

These maps, from actual surveys made by Capt. D. B. Harrison, assisted by Mr. John Orant, were drawn by the latter with a tare delicacy worthy of high commendation.

In conclusion it is proper, and doubtless expected ikit tkmuiil this renort mv Miintrtmun I vuvoiv, in made acquainted with acme of the sufficient causes that prevented the advance of our forces and prolonged, vigorous pursuit of the enemy to abd bryoud the Potomac. The War Department has been fully advised long since of all those causes, some of whicb. only are proper to be here communicated. An army which had fought as ours on that day against uncommon odds, nnder a July sun, most of tbe time without water ana without food, except a hastily snatched meal at dawn, was not in condition for the, toil of an eager, effective pursuit of an enemy. Immediately after the battle.

On the following day an unusually heavy and unin-tennitting fall of rain Intervened to obstruct our ad-Vance, with reasonable prospect of fruitful results. Added to this the want of a cavalry force of sufficient nosahers made an efficient pursuit a military impossibility. Tour obedient servant, O. T. BEAUREGARD, General Com'g.

In our Sunday's issue we stated that the French Consul would have a mail to leave here on Friday next.

We ere informed by Count Mejan that he is sorry to say the instructions he has received prevent him from making up a mail for France or Europe. 3P The Acant Coureur, of St. Charles patisb, has our most heartfelt thanks for the compliment he paid us, aud his kind wishes, on the occasion of our entering the twenty-sixth year of our publication. Among the recently arrived visitors iu onr city is Col. Lowe, one of the aids de-cauip of Gov.

Shorter, of Alabama, to which poet he has been appointed as a tribute to bis gallantry on the memorable lat oi July, at Manassas when and where, as a member of the brave 4th Alabama, he saw some of the hottest work of the day, and received a severe and almost fatal wound, just above the left temple, from a Minie ball from the effects of which we are happy to say he has quite recovered. Col. Lowe is a son of onr worthy fellow-citizen Lowe. Ejp We had the pleasure, yesterday morn ing, of shaking by the hand Dr. R.

N. Anderson, Surgeon of tbe Watson Battery, now at Bowling Green, Ky. This gentleman never enjoyed better health, and that of every member of his corps is, says he, in excellent condition. The Doctor came down to New Orleans on military duty, and persons wishing to join the crack company to which he belongs, can eee him te day, till o'clock, on boaid the steamer Alonzo Child, foot of Poy-dras street. Each recruit ia furnished with a uniform and equipment, as soon as ha joins tbe corps, and receives, besides, the usual bounty of $(); and his traveling expenses are paid for by the Government.

As the Watson Battery which distinguished itself at the battle of Belmont is in an active fiel of operations and has none of the drudgery of camp life to perform, and is commanded by gallant and talented officers, we think the Doctor will have no trouble in finding the few recruits he wants. A Lively Little Affair in the Sul'nd. Our old acquaintance, Capt. Myers, of the C. S.

steamer Oregon, being engaged on duty, on Sunday, and not expecting any particular engagement with the enemy, had the pleasure of a little brush in the Sound, near Pass Christian. At Major Winnemore's request, the captain, having performed the duty assigned him, ran down towards Ship Island, when the U. S. steamer propeller New London emerged from the Yankee lieet to drive him away. To draw her into shallow water, and, at a distance from succor, he put the Oregon abent to the westward, and waited off the east end of Pass Christian for the enemy to come within range.

As soon as she did bo, the Oregon opened fire from her rifle gun. During the engagement that ensued one shell took effect near the bow of the New London. The latter replied with some twenty riiie shell. The captain of the Oregon having come out with no expectation of an engagement, had not supplied himself with asniheieat quantity of ammunition to keep up a protracted contest, and Was therefore reluctantly compelled to withdraw, after having kept up the gallant fight for a half hour or more. The enemy evinced not the slightest disposition to continue the engagement, but put about and returned to her anchorage at Ship Island.

The Oregon ran into Pass Christian, remaining there one or two hoars, and then left for this eity, where sue arrived at 5 o'clock yesterday (Monday) morning. The shell of the enemy were handsomely directed, and fell in dangerous proximity to all aboard the Oregon. Oar friend Myers was obliged to squat at the approach of one of them. And, yet, providentially, not one struck the gallant little craft, Lieut. Kainey's practice equaled theirs.

All his shells exploded very near the enemyy Capt. Myers reports that the detachment of the Brookhaven Artillery (Mississippi Volunteers,) worked their guns with the utmost coolness and intrepidity, and his crew exhibited the strictest attention to their duties daring the whole of this lively littleaflair. We are indebted to Major. Gen. Lovell for his permission to publish these facte from the official report of Capt.

Myers. Steamship Jas. L. Day. This steamer, which left New Orleans on the '2r2i ult.

for Ilavana, with a cargo of 590 bales of cotton, arrived at the Pasees on the 23d, and was informed by the pilots that it was impossible to go to sea. After several attempts she retnrned to the Quarantine Station. On Friday night, the 30th, at 11 o'clock, the alarm of fire was given on board the force pumps were put to work, but the fire increased so rapidly that it was found impossible to subdue it. Two of the men escaped from the hatchway badly burned, and one of them (a fireman,) has since died. The remainder bad to be taken out by cutting a hole in tbe after deck.

With one boat of the steamer and the as sistance of a skiff, all hands were saved, but with the loss ot all their effects. The boat broke her chain, and drifted ashore at 2 o'clock A. M. on the 1st, and sank at 4 P. M.

entirely out of sight. The fire was undoubtedly accidental. We obtained this information from Capt Dunn, the master of the ill-fated vessel. Russets and Army Shoes. For sale by JBeeare, Yoieia Droat; 6 street.

DESTlluYlNG UAttBOai The Yankee project of eloitaf toe Vortof Charleston by stone barrioadee waa only in-tejtnitted, not abandoned. On the 25th and 26th nit they resumed tne Work of malignant destrartireiiees by sinking more of tbe loaded hulk fat tne months of Che harbor. Neither tbe dejnonetrations which have been made In Borope'of abhorrence to this barbarons mode carryfeg on war, nor the intimations in Ugh syusTrtsyre which begin to appear that it may be made fbe legal justification for disregarding the blockade, wtiieh is attempted to be sus tained by means not recognized by the law of nations, has prffrailed on the GoreTment at Washington te refrain. It gee en defiantly in iu attempt to destroy, if it can, a capacity ibr productiveness and ooiwtnerc, which the whole worM baa an interest in preserving, and to exercise; as a right of war, a malignant power which all the world has an interest im denying, -end humanity everywhere feels ax intereet to frustrate anti to pnnish. There ie no point of view in which these Amerieaa conflicts can be 'viewed in Europe in which reasons for indulgence can be found for tbis attempt to alter the geography of a continent, and obliterate the harbors which the Beneficence of nature created for the aseB of nations.

Even if there were no point of diepu'ed ecvereittnty, allowed to influence the judg msnt, aLd the port of Charleston aud other threatened ports were conceded in foreign opinion to be within the jurisdiction cf tbe United States, the act of totilly norts of comnreree, for a vindictive pcrpose of punishment, upon the people of a city or of a li Ijl l.ii State, tor poniioat cnences, wouia oe'ne: uy civilized governments to be an act of atrocity not to be paralleled, exVept amonf some remote pagan tribes. The earns rules of sovereign ac tion, which have in Europe called for the com bined interLoeitivn of powerful States, to restrain the ferocity with which civil wars have been carried on. in neighboring countries, aud to assert the paramount claims of civilization to control evu the wars of this age, might be summoned, with even greater caese, to the forcible prevention of deeds of malignant violence whicb, althoogh aimed at au object of domestic hatred, carry desolating ett'ecta into other eoautnes, and atlUtt millions of iu nocent etrangers. Tbe more wanton is the otliecee and the more urgent tbe cause for prompt interference, when there id uo such concession of a do mestic title to the use of unlimited power over vassals, and the conflict between the hostile parties has, in the eyes of other nations, reached tc that point that it is recognized as war and the enemies are belligerents, to both of whom the rights of war attach. It does not need that independence should formally be acknowledged, to give to ports in the pos session of either of the combatants the rights of a belligerent port and to entitle foreigu Governments to insist that the laws which belong to a condition of public war shall be observed.

In the least favorai le aspect in which the Southern ports can be viewed, they are places over which the Government of the United States has ceased, tic facto, to have any jurisdiction whatever. The Federal authorities confeeoed the same when they instituted a blockade aud gave notice thereof to foreign powers, according to the usages of war, and proceeded to punish violation of the same in their admiralty courts, under the rules and decisions of maritime law, iu cases of blockade. These public official and judicial acts are renunciations of the pretence of domestic right of destroying what is their own, and official acknowledg ments of belligerent occupation, to be reduced by means lawful to belligereuU. Whoa, therefore, they assert the right to destroy the usefulness to what they do not posaess, because they cannot recover it, to make it barren forever, because it lias beeMrrested from their hold, the nations interested have, ia addition to the moral right of patting au end to nnnatoral malignities which react upon themselves, the international right of holding to the responsibilities and duties of their own chosen position the Government which has demanded and exercises the privileges and immunities of public war. Kow, nothing is more clearly established as accepted by all modern nations, than the doctrine that blockades of harbors are ouly valid when supported by a naval force sufficient to prevent ingrass and -agrees.

It wvs an ancient opinion if not quite a rule that blockades were only in force against neutral commerce when they were auxiliary to an investment also by land. The interruption of commerce with neutrals in neutral vessels, with the exception of contraband of war, was not permissible except when, by prohibiting access by sea, the capture of a place was to be accelerated by similar inclosnre by land. Bat the modern rale allows a commercial blockade by actual investment with an adequate maritime force bat in the interests of universal commerce it does not permit a change of the mode of investment, and the substitution of stone barricades for the closing np of the natural channels by material obstructions as a substitute for ships. The investment is no longer a "maritime" blockade, and becomes, eo facto, void, and may be treated as abandoned. Commercial nations are not required to surrender their commerce to the caprice of a Government which annoances blockade by sea, and then releases itself from the cost of maintaining it by putting down another class of obstructions which it proposes to make irremovable forever, or only preserves force enough present to prevent the removal by others.

The Pretension is inadmissible on the received grounds of public law aud remains to be another ground for conflict of opinion, and at least, between the Yankee Government and the commercial nations of Europe, and to furnish an.indueement and a justification for those steps against the lawlessness and destructivenees of the North, for which the wishes of Christendom are prepared. M'e RtHL's Concert. On Saturday evening there was a goodly gathering at Odd Fellows' llall, on the occasion of M'me linhl's vocal and instrumental concert M'me R. sang, very artistically, the beautiful aria from "Der Freyschutz," (the prayer and bravura, in the first act,) a delicious morceau by Abt, in German, known in English as The long, Joag, weary day," and the leading part in two well executed choruses from the Bohemian Girl." She also sang several verses of "My Maryland," the new song that is now so popular. The fine mezzo-soprano voice of Miss Panlsackel was also heard in this song, as in several other morceaux, one of which, Melanie," by Concone, was one of the moat successful features of the programme.

Several of M'me RubJ's pupils, besides Messrs. Eaton, Black mar, Grealing and Sie-beck, sang and played upon the piano, and Mons. Declerq, the violinist, gave three solos on -that instrument, of which he is an accomplished professor, adding greatly to the attractiveness of this really most successful concert. We were particularly struck with his masterly execution of the well known fantasia (of Arot, we believe,) upon airs from the Sonnambula," which Mr. D.

rendered in a style that reminded us of Vieux-temps's performance of the same composition. See notice of dwelling house (So. 279 mtoiids street) to be let by Mr. A. YV.

Tbe -news front Europe contains the follow-tag important item "A 'coalition ia abotrt terming between England and France for grmed intervention in American affairs. Tbe allies vehemently object to the stone fleet blockade of Char res-ton, and the blockade -will probably be im-pagned by the European powers with a view to its annihilation." The Herald saye England openly espouses Anglo-French intervention with the view of a pacification of tbe ederals and Confederates.

The English Journals indicate a speedy objection by the Government to tbe blockade. The Herald's Paris vorrespoadent says Napoleon will lead in the matter.

For startling rumors, the Third District is the place. Tbe most interesting of all we could hear yesterday was about tbe death and burial of Gen. Beanregard, the hero of Manassas. We were informed, not without surparise, tbat this gallant officer was killed three weeks ago, and bis remains sent to this State, his native country, to be buried at Terre-aux-Bceufs. Tbis melancholy jceremony took place last fortnight, but as tbe members of the General's family, and picked number of trusty friends, were tbe only persons Invited to attend, the public was kept ignorant of tbis important news.

He ased to beat her unmercifully when she would not give him her hard earned money, aud his general conduc when be was iu his druLkcn sprees was so objectiouabla, that Mary, who always proved to be an honest aod industria ls womsn, esteemed by all ber neighbors, was obliged, rr.ucu agaiustQer feelings, to have him anetd. Sowerschwarta bad his trial, and was sent to the Perish Prison. This deserved punishment ouirut to have been a lesson to him, aud it was hoped he would ccnie out from jail a better uisn. But whit happened yesterday proved juite the reverse and it is probable tiie prisoner, during his short confinement, thought nothing but of projects of revenge. He left prisou oue or two days ago, and repaired to his home yesterday morning at l'l o'clock, witli a brait.

full of rauoor and bad thoughts. As soon as he fhw Ms wile he a'ked herfor money, which, of course, (lie denied him. bad no sooner said no, than li-r husband, taking a kuite from his pocket, stabbed hr-r Id the breast. The blade entered between the sixtli aud seventh ribs, went tbrouph the heart, aud poor Ma' fell dead on the floor, without hardly uttering a gronn.

Extracts from the Police Books. Ou Saturday afternoon, Jobu Tbineuian was daugerousiy stabbed in a row on board the steamer Lafourche. They cent him to the Hospital but the guilty party made good his escape.

Mr. and Mrs. Argus, of the Fourth District, pelted tbe house of Mrs. Catherine Albert, with brickbats, thereby endangering the lives of the lady's children. For this misdemeanor a policeman went to arrest the bellicose couple, and, strange to say, they did not see bini coming, and wers arrested as ordinary mertals.

What, then, does it amount to, to be named Argus, if one ins but two eyes. On Sunday afternoon, in broad daylight, at 1 o'clock, ou tbat great thoroughfare, Canal street, opposite the Customhouse, Peter Kearney stopped Mrs. Catherine F.berley, and robbed ber of all the money she had on her person. The lady went to the First District lockup, made her charge, and the robber was soon arrested, having yet the stolen money in hit possession. Peter Kearney is a bold fellow, we don't deny but he is not much of a trump.

At any rate, they do know that their trouble will amount to nothing.
