Napoleon will give him ail the aid he desires. He will go out as director-general in charge of a very peculiar kind of colonisation." In July Mr. Seward enclosed the intercepted cor respondence to Mr. Bigelow, and requested him to present it to M. Drouyn de Lhuys, and to inform him that any favour shown by Maxi milian or the French government to the Gwynn, or any other Confederate colonization agents, would tend to increase in America the popular impatience at French intervention, because it would be regarded as imparting dangers to, or. at least, as a menace, ' against the Unite & States. If these statements are to be believed, Mr. Seward as sumes, with the President's sanction, that the Emperor Napoleon has deserted his position of neutrality. On the 14th December last Mr. Seward writes to Mr. Bigelow :—" Your despatch of Nov. 24 seems to discourage on our part expectations of an early withdrawal of the French from Mexico. It must be remembered, however, that the opinions on. that subject which you received from M. Drouyn de Lhuys were expressed not only without the Emperor's positive sanction, but also in the absence of any knowledge on the part of the French government of the definite conclusions of the President on the subject discussed. It is desirable to leave no part of those opinions open to mis apprehension. It is signally desirable that we shall be authorised to infer that such expositions of imperial views as are given to us in the name of the French government are made with the Emperor's approval." The New York Herald states that President Johnson has positively determined to reconstruct his cabinet, retaining two of its present members. It is rumoured that Mr. Stanton will supersede Mr. Adams in London. Mr. Sumner has stated in the Senate that Mr. Seward will be absent for three weeks. Twenty-two regiments have been mustered out in Texas. Preesident Johnson has sent to the Senate the reports of Mr. Stanton and the Attorney-General upon Mr. Davis's trial. Mr. Stanton states that Mr. Davis was captured, and is still held by the military power. He now awaits the demand of the proper government authorities for his trial, upon the charges of treason, inciting to the assassination of President Lincoln, and murdering Federal soldiers, The government decided to try Mr. Davis first fs treason, but this is delayed in consequence of Mr. Chase, the Chief Justice, refusing to hold a court under present circumstances in the judicial district of Virginia. The Attorney-General supports the postponement of the trial of Mr. Davis and other rebels until civil authority is completely restored in the districts where the offences were committed. The government has informed the house that the executive bad no official data on the subject of the alleged kidnapping of Madame Iturbide's child by Maximilian. In the Senate the military committee has re ported a bill, fixing the future strength of the Federal army at seven regiments of artillery, ten of cavalry, and sixty of infantry.

The schooner Tamar Queen, 103 tone register, from the Azores, arrived at Plymouth yesterday morning, under charge of Mr. Thomas Pickard, who was melted only by Samuel Brown, A. 8., and the cabin boy. This vessel has been engaged loading fruit at the Island of St. George's, and had part of her cargo on board. On the 2nd inst. they had to slip their moorings in consequence of heavy weather. At that time the crew consisted of Mr. Trembills. the master, Thomas Pickard, mete, William Hart, and Samuel Brown, able seames. and • cabin boy about 15. One of the crew, who left England in her, was ashore sick, in the hospital, at Pavel, and the British Consul at St. Georges sent on board in his place • Portuguese sea men, or boatman, about 35 years of age, who had been assisting in loading the vessel. This man was discontented from the first. lie took no muds regularly, sad would not go below to sleep. He wished to be sent ashore while they were working about between the Islands, but that was impossible. For the fiat three days the wind was tolerably light, from south and south-west. On the sth of January, at 1 p.m., it came on to blow very fresh. The master was on the starboard side forward, easing off the fore staysail sheet. Hart was near him easing off the jib-sheet. Pickard was on the port side forward hauling aft the jib-sheet as the vessel was coming round, and Brown was with him. Suddenly the sound of blows was heard on the starboard side, and Hart cried out, " My God, what is up now? Presently the Portuguese mine round the foremast to the port th e idog up the cook's axe, which was bloody, and hit mate in the left temple. Pickard immediately seized • handspike, and struck the right arm of the Portuguese, who continued his menaces with the axe, when Pickard hit him again with the hand spike, and providentially knocked the axe overboard. He then seized the miscreant by the throat, and called for assistance. The cabin boy came with the boat's til ler, and using it effectively on the bead of the Portuguese, compelled him to discontinue further resistance. Brown, not being able to find • weapon of defence, had taken to the schooner's main rigging on the starboard side ; he now came down, and helped to lash the Portuguese securely to the fore rigging on the port side. The master and Hart ware both killed. Their bodies were taken aft, laidon the starboard quarter deck, and covered with a tarpthlip. The Portuguese survived about four hours. Mr. Pickard, having counselled with Brown, determined to detain the hodies and endeavour to reach Faye. In this effort, the wind being from south-west, three days were expended uneumessially. The sun wee powerful, and the ex halation from the bodies, added to that from the ergo of oranges, became at length insupportable, and the survithrs were reluotantly compelled to throw all three overboard. Although so insufficiently manned, they then squared away for England and arrived after • passage of 15 days. The Tamar Queen belongs to a number of small adventurers residing up the river near Caistock and Morwelham. The master, 'Tremhills, about 30, resided at Plymouth, where he bas a wife and one child. William Hart, about 38, was born at Littlehampten, and was married to • Sootchwornan iu the islands of Shetland. Pickard, on arrival, plead himself immediately under the guidthoe of the authorities, and deposited his log-book in charge of Mr. Stewart, the Collector of Customs. It is up to the present date. It is believed that the g it. rtj i gtiese, after massacring the crew, intended to appropriate the schooner and her contents. He could warmly have contemplated such • design without accom plices. This renders an inquiry doubly necessary, both by the English and Portuguese authorities. for . Yesterday afternoon, Mr.' C. W. Brown, an 1 officer of the civil service i n De p tford Dockyard, *mom- ' paned by Mr. W.

Count Waleweki, on taking the chair this after noon for the first time as President of the Corps Degislatif, followed the example of his predecessor, the Duke de Moroi, by addressing a speech to the deputies. There is not a word in his mere courtier's oration of any significance. He did not fulfil the expectation entertained some time age that he would inaugurate his installation by the announcement of some extensions of the privileges of the Chamber. On the contrary, echoing the 'highly conservative tone of the speech from the throne, he recommended honourable mem bers to make a " moderate" use of the rights they already have, and dwelt upon the humiliating fact for the representatives of a great people that all their prerogatives are derived front the " Emperor's initiative." Of course he promise& to preside with "impartiality," and of course be professed to believe that all who heard him were m anxious as he was himself to "defend" the "insti tutions" which consolidate the "grandeur, repose, and prosperity of France." The Abbd Prince Lucien Bonaparte, Apostolic Prothonotary, to whom the Emperor has lately granted the title of highness, figured for the first ; time on the steps of the throne at the opening of the legislative session yesterday. The proofs of the second volume of the Emperor's " History of Caesar" are now daily sent to his Majesty for correction, and the publication is ex pected towards the latter end of March. Prince Achille Murat, who has scarcely had time to get his shirt mended since the wound it received in his duel with K Henri Rochefort about Cors Pearl, is ordered to go out at once to Mexico ow military service, and not to Algeria, as was at first stated. An unprecedented scene occurred at the Cirque Napoleon last night, during the performance d Mr. Batty, the successor of Van Amburg, who is now exhibiting in Paris. The moment be entered the wild beasts' cage the lioness was observed to be in a terrible rage. The lions were also roaring and jumping about, and Mr. Batty seemed to have lost his usual influence over them. The public, fearing to see him torn in pieces, cried " Go out, go out rP Mr. Batty took the advice, and cautiously withdrew, walking backwards. The cause of the extraordinary commotion in the cage was noon ascertained. A few minutes before the commencement of the perform ance the lioness had given birth to a cub, who was thought to be an only son. The young lion was taken away from her, and giveia to a bitch to suckle. But just as Batty entered the cage the lioness unexpectedly produced • second young one, and the lions wanted to eat it—a propensity said to be very common with wild beasts when in a state of captivity. The fury of the lioness in defence of her offspring, and the fero- cious attitude of her companions in the cage, pro duced an extraordinary panic.famong the spectators, and several ladies fainted. After a sblt• pause Batty contrived to separate the lioness from the cub, and the latter, about the size of a cat, was held up by the nape of the neck for the inspection of the company.

The object of their attendance was to enlist his lordship's powerful co opmation. is their endeavours to inaugurate a fund foe the relief of the distressed families and dependents of the unfortunate mariners who lost their lives by the dreadful calamity which has created so large an amount of gym. pathy in the public mind. The deputation ware also acoom. pinked by King, au able seaman on board the London, who steered the boat that was the means of saving the nineteen survivors of the wreck. The LORD MAYOR said he would readily lend his assistance a nd oo.operation to relieve these unhappy sufferers, and he at the same time observed that what they had heard of the courage and devotion of the ill-fated men who were so suddenly called away by Providence must teed to make every one still prouder of his country. (Hear, hear.) It was then arranged that subscriptions should be received at the Mansion-honee, aud that the committee should, as soon as possib ,le make known to the public what extent of aid they will require, and. the way they propose to appro. priate the money. The seaman King, who, an above stated, steered the boat that took the nineteen survivors from the wreck, appears to be quite a young Das, and exhibits all the charecteristies of a British sailor. He hardly seemed to realise the almost miraculous escape that he had made, and in giving some details of what occurred at the moment the ill-fated vessel . sank beneath the waves, he said that just as the boat left the London the latter was nearly level with the water. This is the third tithe that King has been shipwrecked, and • it appears that he was one of the crew of the Duncan Dunbar when that vessel was lost.
