WAR INTELLIGENCE. BORD OF SUPERVISORS. A Financial QuESTioN. On the 23d of April the Common Council appropriated 100,000 for equipping the volunteers and affording relief to their families. About four fifths of the money has heen expended for the former purpose.

The Aldermen, by resolution passed a week ago, prohibited the Commission from spending any more money on the equipment of troops; had it not been for this, the money would have been exhausted before this time, as It is, it will be absorbed by disbursements to the needy families of jection, to which the Mayor replied that each member of the committee were from the other, (tho Kepublican) side ofjthe house. The resolution was then amended, substituting for "this committee" a committee to be appointed Jthe chair. Tho Supervisor of the 18th moved that there be a committee of four appointed by tho chair two Democrats and two Republicans. Gen. Crooke (in the chair) said ho would resign his placo before he would be the instrument of the Board in any such proceeding.

Whereas, This Committee have received the meWii choily tidings of the death of Stephen A. Douglas, of Itiinois, therefore, liesolved, That in thus losing him, the Democracy of the Nation have not only parted with one of the most sagacious, and bravest champions of Democratic principles, hut the people of the Union have been deprived of the Bervices, and at a time, too, when they were most needed, of one of the purest, soundest, and mosi patriotic statesmen which our country his ever produced. Iu Stephen A.

Douglas we recognize the typo of the true Democrat one who, springing from tlie ranks of the people, by his own untiring energy and exertion, surmounting all the obstacles which poverty throws iu the path of the youthful aspirant for honor and fame, aided by ihe force of a resotute will, impelled by a pure and lofty patriotism aud the inspiration of a brilliant genius, step by step from honar to honor, rose at last to be tho recognized political leader of nearly a million and a half of his countrymen, who testified their love andestcem for him in giving to him their votes for the highest ollice in the Kepuhllc. We fear tbat in him we have beheld the last of those great Democratic Blatesmen, who for nearly three fourths ot a century have fought the battles of the Constitution and the Union, and a departure from whose teachings and injunctions in the administration of the Government, has wrought the ruin which now threatens the Republic. liesolved, that the Democracy of Kings County sympathise deeply with which the melancholy event has afflicted tlie nation, and unite must sincerely and earnestly in the expressions of condolenco which a mourning people are tendering to the family of the distinguished and deeply lamented deceased.

if necessary, pushed to absolute extermination, to the destruction of cities, tho desolation of provinces, the letting loose of millions of negroes on their properties these words furnish a brief abstract of the resolution at which the people and gov. ernment of the United States appear to havo arrived. Kespective lenity is relegated to Heaven, and government and people alike breathe the language of massacre and destruction. No potentate against whose sway the ancesirul vassals of his house, who followed hisforefa llicrs to the Crusades, have risen in open revolt, can feel more acutely tho outrage to his soverign rights thun the imperious democracy of America, founded on tho declaration thiit all men are free and equal, and that every man has the right to seek his well being and happiness under whatevergovernment he pleases. The term secession" is objected to, though, after all.it is probably the most suitable to describe the action of a Sundcrbund, or a portion of a federation withdrawing itself from the remainder; because "secession," like an absolute equality and correlation of rights which, in their present mood the Northern States are not prepared to concede.

The spirit of George III. seem to have entered into the descendants of his revolted subjects. "Before I will hear." writes George III, in 1779, "of any man's readiness to come into office, 1 will expect to sec it signed under his own hand that he is determined tokeep'the empire entire, and that no troops shall consequently be ithdrawn from America, nor independence ever allowed." "The thought of a dissolution of the Union, peaceably, or by force," writes Mr. Seward to Mr. Dayton, "has never entered into the mind of any statesman hero and it is high time that it be dismissed by statesmen in Europe.

We p. ofess that wo think Hie language of the King ihe more moderate and reasonable of the two, for George III. only refused to admit to his councils any who would noi sign declaration against that independence which he was forced to admit himself three years afier wards, while Mr. Seward not only refuses to admit the possibility of that object for which one half of tho Union is in arms against the other, but issues an inhibition lo all Kuropean statesmen to allow such a thought to cross their minds. This is indeed, a high strain of prerogative, and one to which none of the antiquated despotisms of could for a moment aspire.

But we do think that his own experience might teach Mr. Seward a little more charity and toleration for the doubts and difficulties of Kuropean statesmen. Let him remember his own uncertainties till within the last two or three weeks, nor let him altogether forget that, if we have not Hie same confidence that he has, neither have we the advantage of the same unerring Jlenlor to guide us. The voice of the Anicridan people is, after all, online voice of a local divinity, whose oracles do not pass current on this side of the Atlantic. Mr.

Seward may believe and tremble, we are not disposed either to do tile one or the other. This is the message which, through Mr. Dayton, the American Secietary of State sends to the government of France a message, if not of defiance, certainly one which sounds very like an insult." What good purpose can be served by reproaching France with a long aud tragical history of her revolution at the moment wheu America is about to plunge into a civil war without one of the excuses which lend so thrilling an interest to tho catasthrophes of Lyons, Toulon and Ia Vendee There is no Dulic of Uruuswick ou the frontier, there is no Ooblomz, there is no Pretender to the Crown none of those things which make men cruel by appealing to their tears, At any rate, we have undergone no violent eh nge since the Declaration of Independence, and have, therefore, ou Mr. Seward's principle, a. right to give an opinion on the subject on which he pronounces so dogmatically.

The opinion which we incline to though, we confess, with the very greatest regret is that, whatever be the result of the civil war uow pending, the result least likely to occur is die one so confidently predicted by "Mr. Seward. From Ihe London Times, May 24. When the Chesapeake came out to engage the Shan, non, with the words "Free Trade and Sailors' Iligtits inscribed upon a broad flag, the American idea of free trade was that enemies' goods should be safe in neutral bottoms; and die American idea of sailors' rights was that a sailor might offer his fighting services to the country that would pay him best. To take our own men out of American trading ships was an exercise of right which America resented by a war; to treat as deserters Englishmen found in arms on board American ships of war was a measure which America threatened to revenge by reprisals upon English prisoners.

During tho war which raged betweeu 1S12 and 1S15 the great object of the Americans seemed to be to light their battles by means of English deserters, ami to obtain for these unnatural mercenaries ihe privileges of ordinary ''Olligereuts. This was carrying the use of mercenary forces to the extre me extent of which it was capable. When we manned our ships with the sweepings of our streets and the offscourings of our jails, when the prossgaug swept away landsmen aud seamen alike, and when all were equally moulded to their new duties by the constant application of the lash, it was not to be wondered at that the sense of wrong or the consciousness of crime made runaways and traitors. America picked them up eagerly, and the three rotten frigates and four miserable brigs which England, in her eoniempt, thought to be a sufficient detachment out of her thousand pennants to cono with the American navy of those days fell victims to English sailors whom we ourselves had trained. The Peers who took part in the recent debate upon privateering seem to have taken it for granted that British subjects will lor the chief equipage of American privateers; but if we refer to the last prcco eut which is in nay way applicable to tiie affairs of to day, it is with no desire to make it an example, or to lmoteit as ajustillea tion for anything winch may hereafter take place on our side.

We must expect, however, that if America succeeded in buying over some of our sailors to fight for her against our own country, the two American factions now at will be slow to bid against each other for the services of Englishmen to fight as mercenaries against each other. The auction has already commenced. The navy of the North, such as ii is, has not a great number of men aboard whose nativity would ever entitle them to aspire to be President of the Northern fraction of tho groat republic. If we could go on board the Minnesota" herself, and pass her crew in review, we should flud many men among them who hailed from English villages. The government at Washington would, we apprehend, be verv indignant at any proposal to go ou board American ship's of war and pick out each its own subjects and to carry them home and punish them on its Foreign Eulismeat laws; nor would ihe government of Montgomery be tolerant of any claim on our pari to stop its cruisers and insist upon being satisfied that every sailor was a man who owed no ullegiance lo Queen Victoria.

Our chief difficulty therefore, in this matter, will be lo preserve oar neutrality in spile of the belligerents. (From the Loudon Post, May i2.) Mr. Seward, in a despatch which recently appeared in tbe American papers, lias announced, with equal clearness and emphasis, the determination of President Lincoln not oijly to treat the lederal Union as a still existing compact, but to enforce the authority of the central government even at the risk and cost of an angry and ion" protracted civil war. Facts are stubborn things, and when we learn by the last advices that nine States havo actually seceded, certainly someUiing more is requisite to prove the indissolubility of the Ifmiion than the brave words of Mr. Seward.

Tho document to which we allude is a dispatch addressed by Ihe American Secretary of State to the American Minister Paris. Kecognition of the Southern Confederacy by the great Powers of Uurope would give an amount of moral support to the cause of separation greater thun the effects of the most brilliant militury successes. For the purpose of avoiding any danger of this kind the American Minister at Paris spoke to M. Thouvenol on the subject, who, in reply, staled that no application line been made by the Confederate States for tho recognition of their independence, and that the Government of the United Stales might rest assured that no hasty or precipitate action ou the subject would be taken by the Emperor. But M.

Tbouvenel most properly added that "the practice and usage of the present century hud fully established tho right of de facto governments to recognition when a proper case wus made oul for the decision offoreign Powers." If we refer to the eases of Greece and Turkey, aud Holland and Belgium, we llnd that both these apply lb nations which has been united in a compact more close thau any federated compact. The recognition of the thirteen North American colonies by France, and the recognition of Mexico and the South American provinces formerly This body met yesterday afternoon. Gen. Crooke oc cupled tbo chair, and a quorum of members were present" The minutes of the last moeting wore read and approved! INCliKABE'or SALARY ABKEU FOR. A communication was received from Martin Schoon maker, assistant Commissioner of Jurors, asking that his salary be increased from $500 to $1000 per annum.

Mr. Schoonmaker sent in a formidable list of tho amount of labor ho performs, together with an account of tho salaries paid other clerkB in various offices in this county The reading of Mr. Schoonmakcr'sstatement was cut short on motion of Mr. Gridley, and the matter was referred to the Com. on Salaries.

A report was presented from the Excise Commissioners from which it appeared that tho numberof licenses granted last year was47i at $30 each, making in the aggregaie $14,189, which has been paid over to the countytreasurer. The amount received from this sourco in 1S59 was 2,700. The report was accepted and placed on file. TLAN KOlt THE COUKT HOUSE.

A report was made that a room at an annual rent of $100 had been hired for the clerk of tho Board in Lowe's building over the Sheriff's office. It was also reported that an account will be opened by tho clerk with tho several county officers, so that tho amount of stationery used in die sevejal offices can be ascertained. The action iu relation to hiring the room was AN ACCOUNT WITH THE LATE snEltlFF. A communication was received from Mr. Geo.

Itemseu, late Sheriff. He says that in February last ho sent in a bill to the Board for in March it was audited for i)3, leaving a balance of $1307 70. This balance he understands, was kept under a resolution passed by the Board in August, lowering the price of hoard of prisoners in the county jail from fiO to cents. He says his eontructB for supplies were predicated on the price paid when he went into office; and he further says he has received no ollleial notice of such action, or lie would have at the time called the attention of tho Board to the matter, and he now asks the balance. Mr.

Kirby moved that tho communication lie referred to the Law Com. Sup. Studwell asked if the question was a legal one. By a vote of 15 to 7 the resolution referred to had heen passed by the Board, and ho never doubted the Board tias tlie right lo do so. He moved the communication be laid on the table.

Lost, 13 lo 11. Mayor Kalbfleisch favored a reference to the Law Committee. There was a legal question in the matter: if the Sheriff was not notified he would hardly be bound by the contract. Suppose the Board reduced the price to 5 cents; if the Sheriff was not notified it might be ruinous to iiinmt' notified he could resign his office if he desired it. The subject, after some conversation as to the manner in which the Sheriff received his payment of tlie bill and and if he gave a receipt in full, was referred to the Law Com.

On bill of ex Sheriff, Mr. Studwell reported in favor of paying $4S0. This is a bill for conveying prisoners to JKnndalPs Island; the Sheriff charged $5 for ea'ch prisoner conveyed. By law he is allowed 35 cents per mile and Mr. Studwell by tho most liberal allowauou could not make the distance more than twelve miles, and so he cut down the bill.

Mayor Kalbfleisch said it was more than 12 miles by tho Grand street route, Ihe way travelled. Sup. Studwell said there was now a steamboat from foot of Peek Slip. The report of the committee was adopted. On another bill of the ex Sheriff for 80, Mr.

Studwell submitted the following written report The committee on accounts to whom was referred the bill of George Kemsen, late Sheriff, for making returns to the Secretary of State of criminal convictions and Courts of Special Sessions and in Courts of Records in tlie city of Brookl)n and county of Kings, from January 1, 1S5S, to Pec. 81, 1SG0, as per chapter laws 1849, report hut the5' have given the same due consideration with the following result: That instead of there being 36,300 convictions returned as charged in bill there can be but 30,540 found in thai office, bul the clerk of Mr. ltemsen assures your commitlee that they havo all been mailed and he has in his possession duplicates of same. Tlie law in reference to this matter reads as follows: "The Sheriff within ten days after the adjournment of any of the criminal Courls of Records the Sheriff of the county iu which such Couri is held must report by mail to the Secretary of State the name, occupation, age, for their services in the premises they will bfc allowed a reasonable sum by the Board of Supervisors as a comity charge. In investigating your committee found instead of sending these reports within ten days after the adjournment of any Court they have beeu sent in bulk at the end of tlie year.

Instead of sending names, of all convictions, the State Department has adopted the form herewith inserted which is much less trouble than in former mode of doing it. The question now is, shall the Board allow for as charged, or allow 30,546 as per information received at Iho office of Secretary of State. After that question is settled what is reasonable compensation tor the labor performed. If allowed 30, 04 convictions at S5c. the am't.

Signed by Messrs. Studwell and Schenck. On motion of Mayor Kalbfleisch, the matter was referred back to the Committee on Accounts to give the Board lime to inquire into the matter. All FOR THE FAMILIES OF THE VOLUNTEERS.

Sup. Talbot, from the Committee appointed to deviso means for raising and suggesting a plan for disbursing no for the relief of tne families of the volunteers, made the following report: Brooklyn, June 5. 1S61. To the Board of Supervisor of Kings Co: The Committee of the Board to whom was referred the matter of the appropriation for assistance to the families of soldiers in service of the United Slates, re specttully report That by law ihe general siiperintondance aud caro of all charitable relief in this County seems vested in the Superintendents of the Poor. And although in this na tioniil emergency the present occasion seems an exceptional one aud different from the ordinary cases which arise in this county.

Yet to avoid any legal question upon the matter, your committee recommend the adoption of the following resolutions: liesolved, That Hie County Treasurer is directed to transfer from the contingent fund the sum of $50,000, to the credit of ihe Superintendents of the Poor of this County. liesolved, That Ihe above mentioned sutn of so transferred lo the Superintendents of the Poor, shall be disbursed and applied for the purpose of relieving tlie families of persons in the military service if the United Stales from Hits county, and that tho same be cxpeu lU under the direction of this Committee, the County Treasurer and one member of the Hoard of Superintendents of the Poor of ibis county (the said last unutioned Superintendent to be chosen by the said Board of Super per'uitendento). The plan of distribution to be similar to ihe one now in operation In the city of Brooklyn, aud It is further liesolved. That no portion of said fund shall bo used until the fund of the city of Brooklyn for such purpose shall have been exhausted. Ciias.

C. Tai.iiot, John Stuihvei.i., John L. Committee. Tho Mayor was averse to have tlie money como through the hands of the Superintendents of the poor. If the families ot tho volunteers are paupers they can got means there without these resolutions; but they are noi, and lie desired that the money should not come through this channel.

Sup. Studwell said the Superintendent's name were used to bring the matter within the strict letter of the law, so that capitalists would advance the money without hesitation. The money would be disbursed through the count treasurer, and by whatever committee this Board' appoints. The Mayor said the city had raised $100,000 without a shallow of legality, ami was it pretemled this county cau noi raise without resorting to this manner, which I hose who are to get relief could not understand. Ho ould like to see the man who would daro in this Board, or in the Board of Aldermen, to question the legality of the action raising money under such circumsiances.

Il not being very clear but tbut this was the only way of raising llie money, the report in this respect was acquiesced in. The Mayor remarked in tho singularity of tho report, making Iho committee that mado me report tho parlies to disburse the money. One of tho republican members asked his Honor his ob THE PHALANX PREPARING FOR. CAMP. The Phalanx were to have taken up the lineof march at 9 o'clock this morning, for one of he Islands above Astoria.

The Island is next to tiat known as Riker's Island, where another reglnvnt is now encamped. The tents were ordered 'vjs in consequence of the disagreeable 6tate of the weather this morning, the reginnnt will not move until to morrow. The withdraval of the Massachusetts companies has left themde. llcient in the number of men required, but we are informed that three companies from lew Jersey will take their place to day or to moriw, so that tbe Regiment will have the number of men required to be mustered into the servce. The uniforms, we understand, are now inproass of manufacture, and the arms will be forthcoming as soon as the necessary formality can be gme through with.

THE TENTH 1SEGISIENT NATIONAL ZOUAVES. This regiment which hus heen stationed at Study Hook for three or four weeks arrived in the city yesterday for the purpose of embarking ou board the steamer State of Georgia. The men had been away from home so long a time that the commanding officer, although intending to j. to sea in the evening, concluded to give his men an opportunity to see theirfriends before startmg. Those who desired a few hours liberty were provided with furloughs to return this morning.

Dating the stay of the regiment at Sandy Hook they were thoroughly drilled in Hardee's tactic and now are as efficient a body of men as can be found anywhere. It was reported in the papers that the men wore half starved their food was tsiot. ed, We took a good look at them we are personally acquainted wittt many, aud never did we see so great a change for the better as proved by their appearance. Their faces are sunburnt, and reflect the most perfect bodily health. They ook fat and hearty as if able to go through any hardship.

About one hundred belong to Brooklyn. They could be seen everywhere about the streets last evening aud this morniug. They are dressed in dark blue uniforms, Zouave pattern, with a red fez for dress parades and a erey French cap for fatigue. Sergeant Field of Company I was a compositor in the Eagle office. He became patriotic, threw down his slick and rule, (as others in the office did before him) and joined the Zouaves.

He was a thin, sickly looking man when he left here about six weeks since. He is now in as good condition as a well trained pugilist. The change in his physical appearance is so great that his friends could hardly identify him. This and other evidences convince us that the living of the, soldiers is conducive to their general health, whatever the nature of the complaints in regard to bad victuals may be. To day.

the Znu aves are to muster on board the steamer and set sail for Fortress Monroe. They are under command of Col. McChesney, and a hardier, healthier set of men never shouldered a mu3ket. THE ENGINEER CORPS OP THE lfTH REGIMENT. Camp Wool, June 4, 1861.

There has been a Connecticut regiment encamped a short distance from ours since we have been here, but they had orders to murcli about one o'clock yesterday morning, and I happened to be aw ke and heard them go off their hand playing national airs, the boys shouting and seeming in great glee at the pleasure of marching somewhere. Their destination is a secret, but it is supposed they will march into Virginia.

We expect to march shortly, as we have orders to keep everything right for marching the moment the alarm is sounded, which is "three guns and the bells ringing in the city." Don't I wish we could hear the alarm to night and were to march to the seat of war and have it out.

Yesterday there were a number of volunteers for detail guard, thinking they would get clear as we did, hut they were mistaken, as the officer of the dav saw til to put them on guard all last night too. Last evening Company (Bucher's) turned out and serenaded the Colonel before his tent he came out and rcintcsted them to sing the 'Shining which they did not do in a very approved manner. To night we are going lo serenade our company olllcers, ami you can just bet all your small change we will do it up brown. We have some very good singers in our company, and they know a song or two. "Potatoes for No.

12, hurry up!" Do you know what that means? 1 will explain: Our noncommissioned ulliccrsget Hie rations for the company. There arc 12 tents altogether, on each side of Baldwin avenue, and men in a lent each teut elects a Captain, (ours is Henry The noncommisaioners, when ihey deliver the rations, do it in messes. Our number is 12, and potatoes for No. 12 means our captain of the mess, and a substitute must come up and get his allowance of them. Our captain of the mess is lord of all, and we are just as much bound to do as he says as we are to obey our real officers.

II. W. appoints two of the mess to cook, two to bring water, two to clean tbe tent, and two to wash the dishes. Last week W. and I had to keep the tent clean, air the straw, make the beds, take in the muskets every night, and do all the litile chores in the tent.

This week we bring water from the spring, which is half a mile from our teut. We go for water 6u un average about 4 times a day; we need not go so often, but His bo awful hot here lliut the water gets warm before we get hack. Fresh out of the spring, it Is delightful. Our cooking utensils don't amount to much; the only thing we have lo cook widi is a sheet iron pot; in it we make our coffee, roast, boil, fryer broil our meat, and boil our potatoes, beans, rice, We had a Irving ian which we found, but il broke: as soon as we can we will buy in the city coffee mill, coffee pot and fning pan. With these useful articles we can manage very well.

By "ml by the apples ami pears and other fruit will be ripe around here, and then 1 expect we will live like "fighting cocks." I was talking lo our caption hist night, and asked him if he thought that there was a chance or probability of us spending our 1th of Inly down liere lie nswered, decidedly, No! that wo would lie home before then, if we ever returned at all, and then he smiled anil turned to go away, and just as he sieppul oil' in mill, "1 am afraid that many of us will never sec another 4tli ol. I uly;" sol should infer by his language awl me wuv they are lilting us out in such complete order, the drill praciiee we havo had lately and the inspections we undergo, thai we may expect either a hard battle or pence before this month is over.

cannot undertake to return rejected communications THURSDAY EVESJSO, JUSE 0. Americans Abroad. There are a number of Americans in Europe at the present time charged with the most important and delicate duties, and upon the success they may achieve will depend consequences of overwhelming importance to the country. We regret to say that in the selection ofmeuto represent the country at the Courts of Europe the administration has paid more attention to partisan clamor than to the personal fitness of the appointees. The appointment of Mr.

Ctrl Sehurz to the Court of Madrid, at a time wheu very delicate and important questions are maturing between America and Spain, was an act which cannot tail to result in injury to the interests and mortification to the just pride of this country. A radical red republican and revolutionist in politics, a coarse inlidel in matters of theological opinion, his presence as our accredited representative would create an instinctive repugnance at any European capitol to which he might he delegated. Foreign governments may well ask if America is so poor in the elements of siatcsmaiisldp and diplomacy as to be unable to liuil a citizen identified with the instiuets and feelings of the country, that we must delegate a mercenary adventurer, whose sole public service Las been the delivery of a series of ultra partisan stump speeches lor pay in cash and the prospect of an cilice in the future. The very fact of his seeking this foreign appointment, by which he can gratify his native partisanships, and go back panoplied with American invulnerability to Europe which he left but recently as a fugitive, jjrores that he holds his American citizenship secondary to his feelings and antecedents as a foreigner. How he will be received, if received at all, cannot at present be known.

We must wait and see and we shall be agreeably surprised if he does not involve the country vuose rulers allowed him to misrepresent it, in serious dillicull ties unless he is repudiated and disowned. His appointment was resisted by many Kepublican politicians and journals, hut the Tribune demanded it and the Tribune must be obeyed, like the French monarch that organ may well say "I am tbe state." We learn that Mr. Burlingamc has been rejected by Austria, the reason given being his action in Congress on the Sardinian question but the man was not a proper representative in any sense of the word. His brawling and noisy egotism might inspire popularity among a local constituency, but offers no guarantee for the possession of the cool and cautious temper, and astute intellect necessary in a diplomatist. Another of the newly selected foreign representatives has been acquiring a notoriety not very creditable to his own judgment, nor likely to be of much advantage to the cause of his indiscreet championship.

Mr. Clay, the Minister to Russiai has addressed a letter to the London Times, setting forth the merits of our civil war, and showing why England should and must side with the Isorth. The argument is shallow and sophistical; hut its impropriety is its moBt glaring delect. He threatens England with what the North will inflict some generations hereafter, in case of her failure to do as he directs now. A threat by a foreigner to the people of any nation is not the best way to wia tUeir sympathy, particularly an impotent threat of what may happen hereafter.

Of course it could not Jail to suggest very obvious com. metis, and has been treated accordingly by the journal to which it was addressed and other Eug lish newspapers. 'We can imagine what effect it would be most likely to create by supposing that an English minister to Russia, provided his pathway through these States, had issued a similar epistle to the government and people of this country in regard to what, course they ought to pui sue in case England was engaged in suppressing some colonial revolt. But there is another impropriety in the act of writing aud publishing tbe letter, in the fact that it encroached on the prerogatives of Mr. Adams, our representatives to the English Court, who may be considered competent to present the subject with as much plausibility and force of logic as Mr.

Clay and unless he can bring infinitely higher powers of persuasion to bear, the cause of the North will not gain much by the arguments of its official representatives. Mr. Adams at least is regarded as a man capable of effectively discharging the duties of the mission entrusted to him. and certainly there is nothing in Mr. Clay's manifesto that tends to justify his usurpation of the functions ol Mr.

Adams, if indeed an undignified newspaper controversy would not be a grave and reprehensible indiscretion, even if invoked by the minister to the country to whose inhabitants it was addressed. Zeal without knowledge is a questionable commodity, and Mr. Clay has afforded the latest and most conspicuous illustration of the fact. The courage or cowardice of Prince Napoleon is becoming one of the questions of the day. When a distinguished Frenchman has nothing more pressing to do, and when no other way of keeping before the public for the moment presents itself, it is becoming the fashion to win a nine days' notoriety by challenging the Prince.

The sport appears to be of the safest, as certainly the fnn is of the mildeBt. The Prince won't n'gnti and if he would the Emperor wouldn't let him. The courage of the Prince is being tested just now, however, by one who is determined to light no other than the Prince's and the Emperor's cousin, the Prince Murat. He has challenged the Prince Jerome by way of illustrating that unbroken union between the Nepoleons upon which bis antagonist so eloqueutly descanted in his great speech. The Emperor, of course, forbade the Priuce to fight; but fierce Mura declined to recognise his authority in such a matter, aud insisted on meeting tbe Prince with what result ig not yet known, but it would probably be as insignificant as tbe cause of the quarrel.

Prince Murat was grand master of lite Freemasons of France but he lately lost his post through some acts of great oppressiveness, dictated by political feeling and a new election became necessary. It was im mediately resolved thatPrince Napoleon should he the master in succession to bis cousin, aud the Opinion Xationalc, his own paper, commented on the event with much plainness of speech, and little regard for the feelings of Prince Lucien. In particular, the article charged him with having created other divisions in by gone days between Freemasons. It was upon this that the challenge ensued. The second challenge, delivered after the Emperor had prohibited the fight, is said to be of the mo6t taunting nature INCIIEASE OF THE SnERIFP's Fees.

The Sheilil's claim lor increased fees was not pressed in the Hoard of Supervisors yesterday his friends were, doubtless, deterred by that wholesome regard lor public opinion, which it will not be safe to disregard in these hard times, in behalf of any greedy official. If the tax payers will look over the proceedings of the Board, reported cNevvherc they may form an idea of the snug berth the Sheriff holds, and the claims the person tbat cilice has lur additional emoluments just this juncture. Mr. Campbell's ill timed imp tunity has been looked upon with disgust by lib own patty, and in the lltli AVarol theloal Repub lican organization, we have been told, instructed their representative in the to give tbe scheme no countenance. the volunteers, before the end of another week.

If we understand it rightly, the requisition made on the Commission on the 21st of May by the 13th and 2Sth regiments has not yet been filed; if the necessities of these regiments are provided for under that requisition, it will involve an outlay, taking past experience as a guide, of some ten or fifteen thousand dollars for which there is no provision. The Board of Supervisors yesterday settled on their plan for raising 850,000, to be devoted exclusively to the support of the families of the volunteers. The outlay for this purpose averages $800 per day, and will of course increase daily as the little surplus left behind by many, vanishes. It is safe to calculate that the expenditure of the city for this purpose will reach $1000 daily. The money appropriated by the Supervisors will not be distributed until the Common Council fund is exhausted.

Should our unfortunate internal strife continue, and Brooklyn be represented as fully as she is uow at the seat of war, an at the rate of half a million per annum will be demanded for equipping the volunteers and supporting their families. While our city is happily free from the dread presence of actual war, the tax collector will bring one of its evils home to every man's door. Though our war expenses will he one fourth our entire expenditure for all other purposes, if our sacrifices bring us days of hopeand promise like the pst, never will a burthen be more cheerfully borne. No P.utTY. The Board of Supervisors met yes.

tcrday. The plan for raising 50,000 for the relief of the families of the volunteers was perfected, and a committee, consisting of Messrs. Kirby, Murray and Talmadge, appointed to look after the disbursement of the fund. In the appointment of the committee, there was a slight indication that even in these 'no party people cannot entirely forget that there has been such a thing as parly contests. With a modesty that would not be discreditable to New York Aldermen, the committee appointed to report how the money should be raised, constituted themselves disbursing agents.

By a singular coincidence, the committee were all of one party. The Republicans, their enemies say, are not particularly anxious to win the bubble reputation at the cannon's mouth, but their noble devotion in offering to look after the affairs pertaining to the commissariat has not heen appreciated. We regret to say, the modest proposal above alluded to was not looked upon with favor by the Democratic members of the Board. The Mavor (who is an ex officio member) had the temerity to suggest that the three gentlemen on the Republican side were too self sacrificing, and that it would he only doing the fair thing to give Democrats a chance at home as well as in the battle field. Thereupon a Republican member mag nanimously moved that there be a committee of four appointed of whom two should be Republicans, and two Democrats.

The chairman of the Board (Gen. Crooke) with a countenance as severe as that of Ed. Forrest in Coriolanus, declared that he would be a party to no such ar. rangement he said in fact that he would sooner secede from his position than countenance any such party division. It was finally agreed that a committee of three be appointed, and Gen.

Crooke on the no party plan nominated two Republicans and one Democrat, which is about as square an arrangement as it was possible to make under the circumstances. The Latest Wab News. There have arrived at Washington two men from Virginia, who most positively declare that Beauregard reached Atanas sns Junction on and that he has undoubtedly assumed the command of the troops there. These are said, upon the same authority, to number 20,000, incluoing those at the Junction at Ceuterville, Fairfax Station, at Fairfax Court House. It is further suaed that, on Sunday last, a rebel messenger visited tbe Meetiug House at Lecsburg, during divine service, and ordered all there assembled to be at Harper's Ferry on Monday morning, with their wagons aud teams to aid in removing the material of the troops and on Monday it was supposed that part of the force had moved from Harper's Ferry to a point opposite Wiliiamsport.

Scouts who have been examinidg Harper's Ferry and its vicinity say that ou the Maryland Heights overlooking the Ferry there are fewer troops than were tliere a week ago, and that there are only two guns in a battery. They moreover say that this battery can be easily carried by an assault. The impression prevails in that vicinity that the rebels are preparing to leave their position. A forward movement of the Federal troops horn Chambersburg was to be made last right or to day, headed by Col. Thomas' Brigade.

Hagerstowu and Greencaslle are points spoken of as likely to be U3ed for temporary encampments. The men are all impatient to advance. The word from Alexandria is that preparations are rapidly and secretly making for a movement of importance on some point, probably Fairfax, and an advance is expected withia 30 hours. Two companies of the 71st New York Regiment, have pioceeded on the steamers Auacosta and Mount Vernon to Fortress Monroe, with orders to report to Gen. Butler.

Great enthusiasm marked tbe expedition, and those fortunate enough to be detailed for the work were objects of envy to their, comrades. This regiment has been publicly complimented for its recent services. The latest news from Washington makes it appear more probable that Beauregard is really at Manassas Junction, and that he proposes to evacuate Harper's Ferry and endeavor to concentrate his forces in such a way as to protect Richmond in the best manner possible. It is thought that some of the Pennsylvania troops at firit intended for Harper's Ferry are to be marched to Washington, where a still larger force is considered desirable. The Last Illness of Judge Douglas.

Judge Douglas returned to his home in the city of Chicago on the 1st day of May. He was somewhat Indisposed at the time, with the incipient stages of inflammatory rheumatism, and called in medical assistance the next day. His primary attack rapidly assumed a typhoid character, and continued from the first very unyielding. After some ten or twelve days, his attack was complicated by an ulcerated sore throat, which soon ielded. Torpor of the liver aud constipation of the bowels ensued, soon followed by a jaundiced condition, accompanied by prisoning of the blood, which prostrated his nervous system still more.

Constant wandering and delirium accompanied his attack from its inception till he died. On Sunday, at 11 P. a slight change for the worse was manifest, and hope left all hearts his physicians, without relaxing their efforts, it was now apparent, conld do no more. His respiration became oppressed, and continued to fail almost imperceptibly till 3 A. M.

on Monday, when his decline became more rapid. His utterances, thouah broken, gave evidence that he was conscious of his approaching dissolution. At 5:30 immediate termination seemed imminent, but he continued to respire feebly till 9:11, wheu he drew hie last breath without a sigh or struggle, calmly and peacefully as an infant.
