New York, Jan. "a The Times con-
tains a letter from a Frenchman former,
ly in the rebel army, dated Richmond,
Jan. 18th, to a friend here. He reports
the arrival Of another agent of the French
Emperor, named Martigney, via Mas.
sau, and his mysterious conferences. Il
is known, he says, that Jeff has prom
ised to recognize the Empire IN Mexico,
and promised France ali the advantages
of the Southern Confederacy if Napoleen
would recognize and support the South
ern cause.
All our principal men, he says, thai
war between France and the United
States is close at hand.
The writer has no doubt the plan Of
making Gen. Lee Dictator will be adopt.
ed as the only means TO counteract tbs
strength # the North. Lee has express
ed a willingness to accept it. He and JEFF
are on bad terms. Ths latter weu ID
have to retire. The latter is unpopular
in consequence of keeping Bragg so long
in command He even thought since
Bragg's dismissal Of giving him COM
mand Of the army of Virginia, and sead.
ing Lee to Dalton, but had 10 abandon his
plan on accc unit of the great influence
brough I aga INST it.
Jhonsion Tho took command of Bragg's
demacialed lrmy, thought OF returning
to Adams butwas kept at Dalton by or
ders FROG Richmond, that he might take
advantage Of a probable weakening Of the
Northern army by ~furloughs and expira-
uon of service.
Jef's plan is to keep the armies on the
offensive rhongh Lee gave his opinion
that with ths miserable condition of the
army in regard to clothing and provisions
it was impossible to do so.
Earlys expedition was miserable fail
ure
More than one thousand vetranS re-
turned hors du combat, having hands and
feet frozen.
News from Charleston, the writer says
is discouraging. B~eaufeguard has ex-
pressed the opinion that he could not
hold the city much longer as Gilmore's
guns are in a position to reduce It to
ashes in a few hours if he intends to do
so.
