JEFFERSON DAVIS.
From Alabama.

The Montgomery Advertiser Of April 4th
says:
We have meagre intelligence from the
front, and are lefs,in the dark as regards the
enemy's movements. Thatthey may advance
on Montgomery at az, early day is possible,
vet 1t is not improbable that we may remain
in quiet for some time to come. The pos
session of Selma has effected cha. would seem
to be the real object aimedat-the cutting
off of all communication with Mobile. The
latter place is now isolated and can be tho
roughly invested Should Mobile FIJI, Moat-
gomery m;g ght be a desirable point, TO occupy,
but whilst the Gulf City" holds on, any at
tempt.to occupy this place would be diverting
troops from where they ere most needed.

letter from Montgomery dated, April 8:

capied Selma.
Gen. Forrest ia said to~have fougs most
brilliantly, and to have been wounded three
times-so slightly, however as not to leave
the field, where he is yet. 1t is stated that
the General shot oneof his assailants, aud

1t is reported that the Emperor Napoleon
had finally resolved 10 maintain the Empire
OF Mexico.
In the absence OF later news from Ameri-
cn, which IVES anxiously expected in England,
the rssuiS Of thc fall OF Charleston continues
tobe eagerly convassed.
The Lonaon Times says the next opera
tions. are expected with singular interest.
The Federals have recovered their military
reputation, but if the South still resolves TO
stand out till the end, they have made but
little progress towards the conclusion of the
war.
In another editorial, the Times says As the
Federal Government maintains quarrel
with England-n the shape OF claims which
she does not acknowledge, The question we
have to address ourselves to is simply whcth.
er they can go go far with us with fair pros
peets OF snccess. Ifthey can, they will.
The FINES argues that the Washington
Government will show its wisdom by not at-
tacking England on the conclusion of peace;
but it viii be for English statesmen, ct the
proper time, to see that the quarrel be not
allowedto hang over till it suits American
convepiance and opportunity.
