Shots were after wards freely exchanged between the Republican howitzers on the beach and the howitzer boat from the frigate. A detachment of 200 men of the 118th Coloured Infantry was sent over to protect the American citizens in Bagdad. The 46th Coloured Infantry relieved them on the 7th, with instructions, it is said, to withdraw in case of an attack by the Imperialists. A conflicting despatch says that Bagdad was nearly de serted, its captors keeping up an uninterrupted pillage. The stolen goods taken to Brownsville were seized and re stored to their - proper owners. Another report states that a small liberal force was fortifying Bagdad with cottonbales. General Crawford, after disputing with Escobedo concern ing the command, left for New Orleans, where he has since arrived, in order to obtain reinforcements and sup plies. General Mujia is building earthworks, mounting guns between Matamoras and the river commanding Browns ville. He has notified to General Weitzel that if attacked from the American side he will open fire, in which case it was very likely that some of the shots would lodge in Brownsville. Weitzel immediately sent' General Smith to ascertain Mejia.'s intentions. The result of the interview is unknown. Weitzel has ordered Old Fort Brown to be rebuilt and mounted with 32-pounder Parrott guns. A long pontoon train is also being rapidly put in order. Further diplomatic correspondence between the French and American Governments has been published. In August last M. Drouyn de Lhuys wrote to Mr Bigelow pledging the word of France to remain neutral in the internal affairs of America, France being satisfied with the word pledged to her by the United States Government to remain neutral in all affairs regarding Mexico.

ST IMPi4.:D sd. ber of soldiers belonging to the army of the Republic of Mexico were this morning captured in battle by the soldiers of the so-called Emperor of Mexico, and s that by the orders of the traitor Mejia they are to be shot to death at day light to-morrow. I wish, General, to protest in the name of humanity against this violation of the usages of civilised warfare, and to request that you, on the part of the Republic of the United States of America, prevent this atrocious murder of patriots in cold blood by the tools of the Austrian usurper. The opinions of the people and of the Government of the United States in relation to the inhuman orders of Maximilian are well known. To permit the patriotic soldiers of a sister Republic with which we preserve diplomatic relations to be butchered within sight of the flag of the United States, and within sound of an army of United States troops, is to prove false to every principle held dear by an American citizen. As an officer of the army of the Mexican Republic I earnestly ask, General, that you prevent the commission of this dreadful crime.—l have the honour to be, General, your obedient servant, R. CLAY CRAWFORD, General of Division Army of Mexico. GENERAL WEITZEL TO GENERAL CRAWFORD. Head-quarter; District of the Rio Grande, Brownsville, Texas, Jan. 2, 1866. R. Clay Crawford, General of Division Army of Mexico, — General,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of yesterday. I have notified General Mejia of the opinion which 1 firmly believe my Government holds on that subject, and have entered solemn protest in writing against the act. General Mejia replies that he is obliged to obey the orders of his Government. I will notify my superiors of this, but I have positive written orders not to commence hostilities without instruc tions so to moo.-1 am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, _ _ G. WEITZEL, Major-General Commanding. THE CORRESPONDENCE MTH GENERAL MEJIA. The following is the correspondence between Generals Weitzel and Mejia : Head-quarters, District of the Rio Grande, Brownsville, Texas, Jan. 2, 1866. Major-General Tomas Mejia, Commanding Line of the Rio Grande, General,—l understand that you have taken seventeen prisoners from the Liberal forces, and that you intend to execute them. In the name of the entire civilised world I protest against such a horrible act of barbarity. I believe it will stamp the Power which you represent with infamy for ever. To execute Mexicans fighting in their own country, and for the freedom of their country, against foreign power, is an act which, at this age, will meet with universal execra tion. 1 cannot permit this to be done under the eye of my Government without, on its behalf, entering this solemn protest.—l am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient ser vant, G. WEITZEL, Major-General Commanding. REPLY OF GENERAL MEJIA. Imperial Army Mexico, Division Mejia, Headquarters, Matamoras, Jan. 2, 1866. General,—l acknowledge receipt of your communication dated this day. I find myself under the necessity of repelling energeti cally the participation which you pretend to take in the internal concerns of this country. The business to which the protest in your note refers has now been brought before competent tribunals, and no one has a right to suspend'the proceedings. For your individual cognition I will add that the per sons in question are accused of having taken by force of arms thirteen waggons, twenty-six mules and horses, an d robbed thirteen persons. It would be very strange, General, if in the middle of this nineteenth century the bandits and fighting robbers were to receive help and protection from the civilised world. The authorities have seized the steamer Meteor upon suspicion of her being fitted out as a Chilian privateer. The Fenian President (Roberts) and General Sweeney have left New York upon a tour through the States to can vass for vigorous military action. The adherents of the Senate have held a meeting at New York, which was violently interrupted by partisans of O'Mahony. The speakers advocated the invasion of Canada and the seizure of Canadian ports, whence priva teers might bo despatched. The Reconstruction Committee have reported a bill to Congress amending the Constitution, and basing congres sional representation on the entire number of the popula tion, excepting such persons as are by the State laws denied the suffrage on account of colour. By the same occasion I see myself obligated to remind you of the contents of the letter which I had the honour to address you on the 21st of last December. I shall re turn without answer all communications of the character and couched in the language of the one now before me. Accept, General, my esteem and consideration. . . . . TOMAS MEJIA, General Commanding Line of the Rio Grande. To Major-General Weitzel, Commanding Western Dis- trict of Texas, Brownsville. The following is the letter of the 21st of December, re ferred to in the foregoing communication : L'ulaltlel tni - altmposition is manifested in the house to the passage o In the house Mr. Stevens introduced a bill proposing that the Federal Government should lend the Mexican Go vernment a sufficient sum to prevent the establishment of a monarchy in Mexico. He subsequently withdrew the bill, however, owing to the absence of an opportunity to explain it. A Democratic delegation from Pennsylvania has visited President Johnson, and, after hearing his views, pledged him their hearty support. Mr. Johnson said that he would not swerve from his duty for party, men, or objects. New Jersey has adopted the constitutional amend ment. Imperial Army Mexico, Division Mejia, Head-quarters, Matamoras, Dec. 21, 1865. General,—l have received your letter dated 19th inst., vv. you have received from New Orleans, and informing me that I must consider as belligerents the Juarist bands of Mexico, without apply ing to them the name of bandits, seeing that the Govern ment of the United States recognises that of Juarez, for whom these forces are fighting. Hereafter, General, I will not answer letters of the cha racter and couched in the language of the one which now occupies me. The Mexican authorities do not receive other com mands, nor do they submit to any other will than that of the Government of Mexico. The conduct of the forces to whom you allude, and the decree of October 3 last, have defined uniformly the position of said forces in the country, and in that position will they now be considered in Mexico. The Supreme Court has confirmed the condemnation of the British ship Admiral. The New York Ilerald states that the Marquis de Mon tholon, the French Ambassador, has asked the State De partment for information concerning the capture of Bagdad, but the Department had no advices on the subject. The Governthent has telegraphed to General Sheridauto investigate the affair and punish the offenders. The French have reoccupied Chihuahua. Juarez is at El Paso. Accept, General, the assurance of my highest con sideration. TOMAS MEJIA, Commanding Line of Rio Grande. To Major-General Weitzel, Commanding District Rio Grande. NEW PATENT EILAST IC STOCKINGS, 17.

A most deliberate murder has been committed at Brighton by a young man named John William Leigh, well known in the town as Captain Leigh having served in her Majesty's Navy. Captain Leigh, who is 28 years of age, is the son of a gentleman named Farrer, the American Consul at Pernambuco, but takes his mother's maiden name, and has been possessed of considerable property, the whole of which he has squandered in dissipa tion. About twelve months ago he sold out his last property, about £7OO in the Three per Cent. Consols, and after living a dissipated life for some time as a beershop-keeper, he took a beerhouse at Brentford, and applied for a licensed victualler's license, which the magistrates, learning his charac ter, refused to grant. Exasperated at this he threat ened to destroy the house, and began tearing it down, when the owner had him arrested, and for the damage done he was sentenced to three months' im prisonment in Coldbath-fields prison. His wife, re duced to beggary, came back to Brighton, and took up her abode at the Jolly Fisherman, in Market street, the landlady of which, Mrs. Harton, is her sister. Leigh, after lie came out of prison, wrote for his wife to rejoin him, but this she refused to do ; and the last letter received from him, which he said would be his " last. appeal," fixed a meeting for Tuesday night at the Bedford. Knowing his despe rate character, and being aware of the fact that he was constantly armed, Mrs. Leigh got a friend of her sister, a cabinetmaker named Hastings, to go to the Bedford Tap to see if Leigh was there. Hastings ascertained that he had been there, and had shown three pistols secreted in a waist-belt, but had not stated his intention. Mrs. Leigh did not keep the appointment, and nothing more was heard or see n of him till Thursday night. On that evening, about half-past 10 o'clock, he went to the Jolly Fisherman, and immediately Mrs. Harton, who was sitting in the bar, saw him enter she ran into the bar parlour. Leigh followed her, and, standing at the bar door, pointed a pistol at her and fired. Hastings (the person alluded to above) was in the room, sitting in a chair, and the ball, which had passed through Mrs. Harton, struck him on the right temple, grazing it above the eyebrow. Mrs. Harton rushed towards Hastings for protection, when Leigh, who had not spoken a word, fired again within two feet of her back, and as she was leaning for support upon the shoulder of Hastings she exclaimed, " He's killed me! he's killed me !" and ran from the room to wards the back of the house, followed by a young man named Loveday, who was standing at the bar when Leigh entered the house, and who saw all that happened ; but it was so momentary that nothing could be done to prevent it. Loveday found Mrs. Harton lying groaning about half way down the cellar stairs, and having carried her into a room, Hastings went for medical assistance. Hearing the firing, Mr. Harton, who is an invalid, came down stairs, and seeing Leigh rushing out of the house, endeavoured to secure him, but this he was unable to do, and Leigh escaped into the street. Mr. Payne, of the Marine llotel, opposite the Jolly Fisherman, hearing a disturbance in the street, went out and saw Leigh, who had been drinking at his bar with his (Leigh's) wife only five minutes before, stand ing in front of the hotel with a pistol in his hand, which he pointed, and said, " Stand off !" Mr. Payne drew back, and Leigh walked backwards d)wn the street till he came to llarrison's hotel, at the corner of Market-street, adjoining the King's road. here he stood at bay, with his back to the wall, and Superintendent Barnden, who had been sent for, came up and said, "What's all this noise about?" Leigh, pulling the pistol from his breast, pointed it at the officer, and said, " Stand off, or I'll shoot you." Barnden ejaculated, " Will you, by God ?" and seized him by the arm just as he fired, and the ball thus diverted passed through the offi cer's coat skirt and the left trouser leg, ripping off the braiding of the seam. The superintendent, who had thus acted so courageously, immediately threw Leigh upon his back, and three or four bystanders assisted in securing him. During the scuffle he let fall the pistol, which proved to be a Colt six-cham bered revolver. Two of the chambers were still undischarged and capped. In a coat belonging to Leigh, who was now made prisoner, were found a powder flask, a box of caps, and 33 bullets. The prisoner was taken before the borough magistrates yesterday morning, when the above facts were given in evidence, and, in addition, Dr. Stephens, of the Pavilion-parade, who had been called in to attend to Mrs. .Harton, stated the injuries which she had received. He found that the first shot had entered just below the right breast, over the liver, and passed through the body, escaping by the left side above the hip ; and the second shot, which he ex tracted from under the left armpit, had entered the centre of the spine, at about the fourth or fifth dorsal vertebrm, and passed through the left lung. In reply to questions from the bench, Dr. Stephens said the poor woman was in a state of collapse, and suffering very much from haemorrhage, and the taking of her depositions at present would endanger the only chance left of her life. Under these cir cumstances the case was remanded. It was stated that the prisoner was quite sober at the time, but no account is given by him of his conduct, as ho declined to cross-examine any of the witnesses, acting upon the advice of a solicitor with whom he had had an interview, but who did not appear in the case. Mrs. lia,rton died last evening. Bills of exchange amounting to $60,000, fou nd on Reagan, the late rebel Postmaster-General, and drawn by Trenholm on the Rothschilds, were recently forwarded by the Government to our consul at London for collection, but were returned by the Rothschilds with the endorse— ment that there were no funds to meet them.

In the Senate, on the 17th inst., the credentials of Hon. William A. Graham, Senator elect from North Carolina, were presented, and ordered to be laid on the table. Mr. Doolittle (of Wisconsin) called up the bill for the Appointment of Provisional Governments for the South ern States, and opposed it in an able speech. He said that the surrender of the two ideas of the South that States had a right to secede, and that slavery was a bless ing, formed the basis of a permanent peace. The Lincoln and Johnson policy of maintaining the Union must be ad hered to or secession will have been a success. He called attention to the fact that ono of the great Radical leaders, Thaddeus Stevens, once objected to the nomination of Andrew Johnson for the Vico-Presidency on the ground that ho was from a foreign State at war with the United States, and therefore was an alien. The Radical policy, if carried out, would entirely destroy the Union in time. To admit the right of States to secede, or the power of Con gress to expel them, would be to admit into our system a principle of self-destruction wholly at variance with a per fect and permanent Union. The blood shed and money spent had been not to overthrow or drive States out of the Union, but to keep them in the Union. Any other theory was wicked and suicidal. . In the Senate, on the 18th, the Committee on Territories reported favo\trably to the admission of Colorado, declar ing that State 'to bo now one of the United States of America on an equal footing with the other States. Mr. Wade (of Ohio) delivered a long speech against Pre sident Johnson's reconstruction policy, and in favour of the bill for the appointment of Provisional Governments for the Southern States. Ile thought Mr. Johnson had made some improvements upon Mr. Lincoln's policy ; but he had not yet met the requirements of the times. He (Mr. Wade) would never yield the controversy until all men in America stood upon a footing of equality before the law. The negroes had been used to put down the rebellion, and were now entitled to participation in all benefits secured by the success of the national arms. Tho people of the South were i!iAoyal and full of hate against the Union. He would keep the Southern States out of the Union until they gave the right of suffrage to the negro. There was as much right to exact this as for the President to insist upon the adoption of the Anti-slavery Amendment, and the repudiation of the rebel debt. The Southern States had acquiesced in those measures under duress, and might repudiate them when military power was withdrawn. The following correspondence has taken place between General R.
