The Chesapeake Piracy.

HALIFAX, Jan'y 14th.-In the Admir-
atty Court, yesterday, Judge Stevens, in
order to prevent misapprehenson and mis-
representation through the press, read a
written statement of his views, as cnun-
ciatcd upon the previous sitting of the
Court. After detailing the circumstances
connected with the capture of the steamer
Chesapeake and the subsequent proceed
ings, his Lordship referring to the posi-
bility of the plea being submitted in be-
half of the Confederatcs, said:
but am l sitting as Judge of a
Court of Admiralty, and representing Her
Majesty in it, to sustain the plea of men
who have violated her proclamation of
neutrality and offered an affront to her
dignity-of men who have grossly and
wilfully and stealthily violated her terri
tory, andgoods sold therein-who have, with
revolvers and lawless force, violently re-
sisted the officers seeking to execute pro-
cess of her magistrates, and who are, at
this moment, fugitives from justice. y
After some consultation with counsel, his
Lordship stated to the Court that under
the facts before him, unless altered by
further evidence, he would treat the case
as piracy throughout. The further hear
ing Of their case was postponed until We'd

HOLSTEIN QUESTION THREATENING.

ST. JOHNS N. r., January 1.-THE steamer
Columbia, from Galway ON the 9Th inst, ar
rived here this evening.
1t is asserted that Macmillan will accept the
Mexican crown, and will shortly sail for Mex
leo.
The IIolstein question is still threatening.
1t is confirmed that Macmillan will visit Pa
ris and reach Mexico before the end of March
with the requisite reinforcements.
The Times publishes n letter from its seces-
sion correspondent, Spence, of Liverpool, in
which the writer admits that the North, has
made great progress, but not in proportion 10
the cost.
He contends that the next campaign will re-
veal greater difficulties for the North, and that
their financial policy will sooner or later col
lapse.
1t is reported that the French and American
Governments were expected TO bid for the Gre at
Eastern at the auction on the 18th of January.
1t is announced that four fast screw steamers
Of twenty-five hundred tons each, are to be
placed on the line between London and New
York by the British and American Steam Nav
igation Company, in March next.
The Daily Negs says it is understood that
the extraordinary mission Of General Forcy to
Washington had for its results an undertaking,
on the part of the United States Government,
not 10 dispute the new Mexican monarchy. In
return, il is believed that promises were made
by France with regard TO the attitude of that
country toward the Confederate States.
The same journal also SAYS the Archduke and
Archduchcss were expected shortly TO visit MAJ
polcon in Paris, whence they will proceed 10
st. Nazairc TO embark IN an Austrian irgutc.

Cruz.

Senator Davis Of Kentucky.

We believe says, the Pottsvillc Jour
nal, the sentiment of the departed Doug
las, that in the contest there can be 10
neutrals. a man must be either for the
Government of his fathers, or against it..
On this principle Senator Wilson of Mas
sachusctts, moved the expulsion of Sena-
tor Davis Of Kentucky. On Wednesday
Mr. Wilson's resolution was taken up,
and he supported it i'll strong, argumen-
tativc speech. Mr. Davis replied in
wandering speech, full of rcbellious talk
and personal invcctivc, which if intended
as an apology for the series of reasonable
resolutions he had proposed, failed lamen-
tably. Mr.. Davis is statesman who
places the interest of few shareholders
above the welfore of the country; who
wants the leaders Of the Rebellion rein
stated in all the power they possessed be-
fore the Rebellion. Mr.. Davis, the peo-
pie will consent to nothing of the kind.
