SAFE ARRIVAL OF STEPHENS IN FRANCE
THE .sTAR OF HorE" IN PARIS ON THE 27TH
ULTIMO.
The Dublin Iriskrldn Of December has the
following letter translated from the French:
PARIS, November 27.-Mr. Editor: take
the liberty of writing you these few lines to
inform you that your brave countryman,
Stephens, who escaped so happily from Dublin
prison, has arrived safe and sound in Paris.
He has been seen during the past two days,
surrounded by numerous friends, dining in
one of the great restaurants of the Boulevard
des Italiens. 'Tis needless to tell you, Mr..
Editor, how all the world was delighted on
hearing that Mr.. Stephens had escaped. We
are all convinced here that the day is not far
distant when Ireland shall break forever the
Saxon chains which have kept her bound so
long, and will resuscitate as they say and as
we all hope in France-"great, glorious, and
freer'
j have the honor to be, sir, your obedient
servant, J. DE LoNGUEyILLR,
A profound admirer Of the Irish nation.

The butch Gan Canal

New YORK, Jan. 5.-The Herald gives
complete history of the Dutch Gap Canal:
1t was commenced in Augustlast, and up to
the day of explosion of the bulkhead three
regiments of white and colored troops were
detailed for the special work, averaging
from 120 to 40 men, employed daily on an
average of ten hours. The canal is 522 feet
long, and the greatest width of excavation
is 122 feet, and the depth 45 feet. The width
of the canal proper is GG feet at the top, and
40 feet at the bottom. At high water there
will be depth of l6 feet.
From these facts some idea may be form
ed of the immensity of the work. Suppos-
ing that the canal, in consequence of the
heavy batteries bearing upon it, cannot be
completed at present. the work, as far as it
has been carried, is so much gained in an
enterprise which, when it shall be compile
ted, will always be of incalculable impor-
tance for the commercial interests of Rich
mOnd. The explosion of the bulkhead of
the canal on the 1st inst, was witnessed by
large number of officers and a strong
body of troops under arms, to be ready for
emergencies.
The Tribune's army of the James special
says: Dutch Gap Canal is regarded rs a
complete success, the result of the explo-
sion in the bulkhead being all that was ex-
pected. A drilling machine will now finish
the work. Sixteen feet of water has been
in the canal since the 10th of last month.

A Threat 10 England and France.

New YORK, n.5.-The Richmond Whig
has the following editorial threatening
British and French commerce: The time
has come when it may be worth while for
our authorities to consider whether it may
not be well to treat the foreign govern
ments with some of their physic. Why
may we not following their own example,
declare the ports Of the United States
blockaded, and make the vessels of
Great Britain and France, seeking to enter
or depart from these ports, the lawful
prey of our cruisers. A cowardly care of
her commerce has been the constraining
consideration in her meek submission to
repeated insults and outrages of the Yam
kee Government. 1t may not beimpossible
for us to reach her through some sensitive
medium. We may deprive her precious
commerce of the protection that her pusil-
animous conduct towards the Washington
Government has hitherto secured. We
throw out the suggestion for the considera-
tion of those who direct our affairs. The
attitude OF suppliants has gained us moth
ing; perhaps bold conduct might avail
something.

DETROIT, MICH, Jan. 5.-The Michigan
Legislature convened at Lansing yesterday.
