NEW YORK, Aria L.

The proofs that not only is the end certain
and near, but that the Southern people and
their friends at the North are conscious of it,
accumulate every hour. The game is clearly up,
and everybody acknowledges it, either privately
if not publicly, and there are strong reasons for be-
lieving that the Richmond chiefs are now using
the military force at their disposal simply
with the view of securing favourable terms, or, to
use an expressive colloquialism, "to let themselves
down easy," and without any expectation whatever
of preserving the fabric which they have
sought to cement by such lavish expenditure of
blood. One of the devices—and, I think, the prin-
cipal one—to which they seem likely to resort for
their own security after the wreck of the Confede-
racy was partially revealed in the Hampton-roads
conference, by the suggestion of the Confederate
commissioners, that the North and South should
unite in an "extrinsic policy," or in plain English,
in making war on some foreign power as a means
of healing their differences. The refusal of Mr.
Lincoln to entertain this proposal has clearly not
by any means banished it from their minds, and
although there it not the ghost of a chance that the
North will ever consent to adopt any such atrocious
plan of restoring harmonious feeling between the
two sections, yet there are many signs that the
scheme has not been abandoned ; and I have little
hesitation in predicting that, whenever negotiations
are opened by the Confederate authorities for a
surrender, if they ever are, a very strong effort
will be made to induce the Federal government to
amnesty the chiefs, and to take the Confederate
army as it stands and its officers into its service, to
be employed in an attack on the French in Mexico.
The military chiefs and Davis are all ruined men if
they are beaten into submission. They have lost
their property, their grades in the old army, and
if forced to lay down their arms by the fortune of
war, have nothingbetter tolook forward to than lives
of poverty and idleness in Paris or London. They
know perfectly well that the Federals would concede
much to induce their forces to surrender, as they
are now, at once, instead of breaking up into
guerilla bands, and thus postponing indefinitely the
pacification of the country, while they know equally
well that if the contest once degenerates into a
guerilla war, as there will be nothing left for them
to do, they will cease to be worth conciliating or
pardoning. The plan of getting out of the scrape
would seem to be, therefore, to offer a bold front,
to resist stoutly without risking anything that
might prove decisive, and in the meantime make it
well understood that they are open to proposals,
and that the employment of them on foreign ser-
vice, the officers preserving their rank and pay, is
something that might tempt them. Paragraphs of
this purport are finding their way into the news-
papers, such as the following, which appeared
yesterday :

that it is for the interest of France at this time of 1
day to undo Italian unity.
I hear that M. Emile Clavier has been speaking
to-day, and that the expectation that the address
would be voted this evening is not realised. The
debate is adjourned till Saturday.
The statement made in the Corps Legislatif by
M. Nogent Saint Laurens, that the Italian Senate
bad thrown out the bill for the abolition of the
punishment of death was incorrect ; the Senate
has not yet voted upon the question, and it is
doubtful whether the bill will oome before it this
session. It cannot, however, be denied that there
is a very strong feeling in the Senate against this
radical reform.

THZ DEAN/WE IN THE CASE OF THE

Judge Smith in the ease of the St. Alban's riders.

Aooording to the Leader, a burst of applause in
the crowded court followed the announcement of
the decision. The cheering could not be restrained,
and it was taken up enthusiastically by the crowds
on the staircase and outside the court.
After the cheering in the court bad ceased, the
Hon. Mr. Abbott asked what was the intention of
the counsel for the prosecution in relation to the
other charges against the prisoners. Mr. Delvin
stated that be intended to proceed in every case.
Judge Smith said that, this being the determination,
the prisoners were remanded until Saturday au the
second charge—assault with intent to murder. The
court then adjourned. An immense crowd
gathered outside of the Court-house after the deci-
sion was given, numbering between two and three
thousand persons. They received the raiders, when
they came out on their way back to gaol, with loud
and repeated cheers, and enthusiastic cheers were
also giver, for Judge Smith, the Southern Confe-
deracy, cto. When the prisoners were driven off to
gaol the crowd accompanied them some distance,
cheering heartily and congratulating them upon the
favourable decision of the court.
The New York Times, of March 30, writes Ili
follows upon the decision :

Morehead City, N. C., March 26,1865.
The member of the North Carolina Legislature from Pas-
quotank County, Mr. Grundy, has just reached his home
from Raleigh, for the purpose of taking the oath of alle-
giance to the United States. He says that Johnston's
forces, all told, will not number more than one-half of Sher-
man's army, and that the combined armies of Lee and John-
ston will not outnumber the joint armies of Sherman and
Schofield. He also states that the present legislature of
this State openly admit that there is so possible hope for
the Confederacy to emceed, arid that they have met under
rebel auspioes for the last time. He thinks that U
'Johnston makes a stand it will be at Itolesville, six miles
north-test of Raleigh, ma that place, though it doss aot
cover Raleigh, is a polities of great natural strewth. The
people from all sections of North Carolina were bring* a
great presaure to bear woo the State authorities's favour
of immediate submiarion and return to the Unica, whisk
• majority of the legislature west to. if Gowns, Vases
can be brought ow, who new manifests a disparities to
yield, Raleigh is to be surrendered by him to Sharman
with this understanding. Mr. Grundy ways the legislature
and the people are reconciled to the abandonment of slavery,
and that the first act of the legislature will be to
ratify the constitutional amendment abolishing that
inatitutioe. The proposition of Les sad Davie to arm
the slaves, thereby demoralising them and making
them • dangerous element, has made slavery
odious to its former supporters, who generally cowed.,
that they must be made free is order to be made soldiers.
It now appear that the rebel President is serleavoarieg
to obtain peace through the State authorities of North
Carolina. A general pardon and restoration of property
by President Lincoln is the offset Davis requires for the
abandonment of slavery. Oa them conditions be is willing
to unite with the North in a foreign war wider one flag.
The Raleigh (N.C.) Standard intimates that teems will
offered, which both parties mu accept with honour, which
will being them under one flag in • foreign war of conquest
engaging the joint injuries both parties have received.
The Raleigh Standard, it must be remembered,
