The ";uANGHaI" IRON CIADs IN FRANcR.-A
Paris letter in the N. Y. Times, dated the 29th
ult, says:
tne of the vessels buii at Bordeaux by NJ Arrlan,
Deputy in the Corps Legisatf, for the Confederate
Government, was launched On Thursday last, and
shows hersclfO On the water to be 4 most beautiful
specimen Of naval architecture. An English ves
sci Is lying at the same port with ali the necessary
equipments on board for the new vessel, the artl-
cles having been cut on board the English vessel
at iiayre. The new vessel will not be ready to
sail yet for some weeks, aud she Is audaciOusly an
nounced In advertisements Us being sup" for
Shanghai. NJ Arman, however, n: been compel
led by the French Government to give his word
that none of the vessels he is building shall pass
from his into Confederate hands, or, In q general
way, that no trouble shall come 10 the Government
from these vessels 1t is on this promise of NJ
Arman that the French and American Govern
meHts rely, and on which permission is granted for
the continuance of the work on them. The two
iron clads will Eot be ready for launching yet for
will soon follow their cOnsorts into the water Ii
is feared that by some indirect means these ves-
seis may finally pass into Confederate hands.
The Georgia, which left the French port Of Cher
of Bordeaux, ami on Saturday the officers Of this
vessel visited the newly launched Confederate
ship. 1t is yet unexplained why the Georgia was
allowed TO re-enter French port, contrary to the
new regulation requiring an interval of three
months 10 elapse between each entry; but be-
ieve this new regulation makes an exception to the
three months rule In favor Of cOa!iEg but for this
purpose OIiy twenty four hours Is allowed, and the
Georgia seems 70 be making more than twenty
four hOurs' stay at Bordeaux.
Tue distance from Bordeaux to the sea is seventy
miles, and the occasion seemed SO good one to
entrap the Georgia, that the American Minister at
Paris immediately telegraphed Capt Winsl0w Of the
fact, and the kearsage, which lately had been sta
toned in the channel has by this time probably
arrived of the mouth of the Gironde. The TWEEN
ty 0urs' start will be here allowed, Of cOurse 70
the Georgia, but the exit fOm the river Is narrow
In comparison to other harbOrs, and 1t is easier TO
keep Informed OF the movements Of the blockaded
vessel In river than in an open bay
The French Government, finding that there was
an intention the part of the C0nfederates 10

leave, have enclosed the vessel iD a dock, and

ARRIVAL OF YASKrA PRIsoNRRs.-on Tuesday,
the 18th, a detachment Of some Eve or six hundred
prisoners passed through Montgomery. Ala, en-
route for Americus, Ga, where the prisoners will
remain until paroied. The Aduertissr says:
The most Of these prisoners belong to Col Haw
kins's renegade tn Tennessee cavalry, who were
captured by Gen Forrest at Union City, Tenn -
Col Hawkins, his Staff, one Major, seven Captains,
and several Lieutenants wee with the party.
Col Hawkins Is a well known Tennessee lawyer,
a man Of superior abilities but one who Is alleged
10 have been extremely cruel 10 all our people that
have fallen into his hands. He STATED that lie
hoped soon TO be exchanged, In order fight harder
Tor The UniOn than ever but whether his wish will
be gsatifed Is questionable. His officers were gen
orally liked by the party who mad them In charge,
although he himself evidently needed TO be closely
looked after The men under his command were
Il hard looking set, composed Ina1nly Of Tenaes-
seeans, who had proved recreant TO the principles
that should govern all Southern men, They openly
accuse their leaders Of cowaTdice the 6eid, and
say that they were surrendered against their own

We learn from q gentleman who came up

This is, of course, an exaggeration, though
th true that large number of troops have
been landed there lately, many having been
sent over from Yorktown. The river is full
Of steam transports, plying to and fro. A

to burn house for every vessel that was
