We nave me important advices from the lines of the Potomac, which, though not offi cial, have reached here tinker circumstances which leave bnt Utile doubt of the correct nest of the unwelcome intelligence. On Friday istt a portion of our Potomac army were repulsed by a force of the enemy, said to be five times our superior. At four o'clock in the morning General Stutrt. with a hundred and fifty cavalry, the Jeff. Davit Artillery, the first Kentucky Regiment, the Tenth Alabama, the Eleventh Virginia and the Sitth South Carolina Regiments, being a riortion of General Longatreet's Division, rlt the camp at Centrcville, to attempt the capture fa Federal foraging psrty atDrane tille, s'uteen miles from Centrcville. As they approsched the place they fand the Tankers flltren thousand strong, when Gen. Stutrt with his force, leas thaw three thou sand, attacked them. The fight lasted the J;reater portion of the day, when the Con ederatct were forced to retire after a severe conflict. Our ls is said to have been about thirty killed and as many wounded. Thi AVtt Yotl Herald on tht Lalt JlJvieu from Europe. Wo enov the fwllowintr from the New York Herald's (Dec. 16)" Situation" article, tearing upon the late important intelligence recie.l Ir-m fcurnpM England was agitated to an intense pitch of eiciteraeni by the supposed inot perpe trated on her flat br the arrest of Matnn and flidcll on board-the mail' steamer Trent. The anti-American section of the London press had lathed the people in a perfect storm of race, and a Cabinet Council, held with their aoiee and clamor ringing m the etrs of the Ministers, had almost agreed oa making the ease a cause of wr with our government. Aa first retail, the Europe was detained at &Mftatojva be order of the govern mtot to Jdiait., aid mi QatsVf atese npr ei board, vHK dispatches for Lord Lreni, in which, it is sid, the Ambassador is instruct ed to demand from President Lincoln, in a firm and determined manner, the restoration of Mason and Seidell to the traveling status and position which the enjojed before Cap tain Wilkes took them on hand, as well as a disavowal of and government apology for the act of thst officer from the Sao Jacinto towards the Trent . Should war be undertaken bj England she is recommended by a London paper to, first, faise the Union blockade of the Southern ports ) secondly; blockade our Northern ports, and thirdly ' lit conjunction with France, to acknowledge the independence of me sou in. ... Great alarm prevaded in the Stock Ex change in London. The English funds had fallen, consols were fluctuating and lower, Fmerican securities flat and tending dowu ward, and Canadian storks much depreciated in value. The agitation had also affected the Fans Bourse adversely. Norfolk, Vs., Dec. 18. Queen Victoria held a privv council at Windsor Castle on the 30th ult. All the mtniKters were present. The council unan imously decided that the act of the San Ja cinto was a clear violation of the law of Na tions, and that reparation must be demanded for the intuit offered to the British hag. I he Minister's met previously at Palmeraton's in London, and folly discussed the question, and dispatches weie sent to Southampton the same' evening. . - The London Tunes says that Lord Lyons' instructions are couched in the firmest Ian Suage, and presumes that the Federals will isregard them, and that England must pre pare for war. The British prett wit! support the Cabi net unanimously. The Poat says that the act is a flagrant violation of the law of nations, and a direct and intentional insult to Grrat Britain; and adds, that the Federal plicr hat been reck lets, bat it disbelieves that the United Mates it ready for a war with England. The British fleet in American waters con sists of one thousand guns, and can sweep all the San Jacintos from the seas, blockade the Northern ports, and close the war now rag-J ing. The Post says that immense shipments of cannonnuesand troops have been made to lanada. The Pott ttyt that the demand of Lord Lvons is ploin, and brief, and if not com plied with, diplomatic relations will imme diately be suspended. Gen. Scott declared in rant trial the seizure was a deliberate determination to inflame the British people. Naval volunteers are offering to protect the honor of the British flag. The Post says that a British ship is Brit ish soil, and all persons en board must be protected as if on land. - The London Times cii artiWt says that Great Britain will commence with breaking the blockade of the Southern ports, set in dustry free, and rrlieve the Cotton famine. Also, open trade with the Confederate Staiet, who desire no better customers. The Timet says that there it no cause for alarm. Great Britain was never more ready for war. The Nashville Gazette hat been reliably informed thtt 88 Federal soldiers entered (Jen. Zollicofier's lines a few days since un der a flag of truce, and stated that alter read ing Lincoln's Message they couiu no longer bear anna agsinst the South, and were now ready to fight the abolition tyrants. Louisville papers t the 12th intt. have been received. They state that all rrgiinema in Indiana which have a minimum nember of men have been ordered to Kentucky. This ill throw some nine or ten thousand troops into Kentucky during this and the cining week. Gen. Rogencran was eipected to arrive at an early day at Cincinnati, from Western Virginia.

By these dispatches he ia instructed to demand, pe remptorially, the : immediate restoration of the persons of Mason aud Slidell, Southern en voys, and a. call lor an apology. The in structions are explicit, and have re ceived 'the u nan im.oij concurrence' f the Queen's council.; ' ' . i ; 'fhe London TiUn comments on the affair, and predicts that Anree". results will im medi ately follow, viz f 1st. The destruction of the blockade of the Southern ports. ,7 2d. The complete and effectual blockade ot the Northern ports, and Thirdly, the recognition of the Confede rate States by France aud England. The Paris Patrie says that France will side with England and take a decided atti tude, j . ,:. Napoleon has tendered his services as mediator. . ,, . The greatest excitement prevails through out Great Britain and on the continent, . A heavy body of English troops have been ordered to embark at voce fur Canada.

A detach ment ol Colonel Martin's mounted regiment ambuscaded white going into Beaufort. Lieutenant Barnwell wounded in the arm. Norfolk, Dee. 12 The Day Book has a N. V. Herald of yesterday, received by way ol Fortress Monroe, under a flag fo truce. Sales of cotton middling uplandswere made Tuesday at Hi cents per lb. Owing to a panic i Wall street, caused by the Secretary of the Treasury, in his re port,' calling for an additional sii hundred million, stid estimating thit it will lake one thousand millions, thoald the war last till 1863, etchange went np to 91, and stocks look a slide still further down the hdl. . The Herald, however, insists that this re sult was brought about mainly by a rumor that Gen. McClellati had handed in his re signation because the Administration would not abandon the abolition Mature of the war. The Confiscation Bill. -A correspondent writes or the confiscation bill introduced by Senator Trumbull: ' It will provide for the absolute forfeiture of all property ot Confederates who are be yond the reach of judicial process that sit uated in the rebellious districts to be forfeit ed through the military power; and that found in districts wherein juJici! .uth - ities are not overborne Uiruuiti the courts; ! the proceeds of the property forfeited, alter the payment of the jjt claims of the l"jal creditors, to be kept as a fund for the reim bursement of loyal citiiens despoiled of their property by the rebellion, and the balance to be appropriated towards paying the ex penses of its suppression. Confederates are also to forfeit their clains to slaves, who are : to be made free, and, the President is to! make provision fur the colonization of such at are willing to go, in some tropical coun try, where they can have the protection of the government as freemen. Tins or some other policy will probably be adopted, and the subject will undoubtedly furnish the theme ol much of the debate of the session. Hok. John Bell. The Richjnond Exsmi ner expresses surprUe tht the lion. J.ihn Bell has not been assigned to some high place in the government where his experi ence and abilities would b of treat use. Mr. Bell does not belong to the-office seeking horde. If the country wants his services, it mutt seek them. We do not believe he wants any office, and are not ure he would accept any; but there is no d-mbt that he is one of the first statesmen of the age. He would honor any office, ft"t.the nfhYe him. Scram blers fr officea are the very men who ought not to I) eve them. That's so. Selma Reporter. The Cathedral of S.inl Fenbar, in Charles ton, lately destroyed by fire, cost about II 50, 000.
