FoRTREss MorRoE, Nov. 3.-The pa
role granted Jefferson Davis, giving him
the privilege Of the grounds of the Fort
ress during the day, has been extended
through Executive clemency, by remov-
ing all surveillance over him, and the
guards from his room in Carroll Hall at
night. Instructions to this effect have
been sent from Washington TO Gen. BUR-
ton, commandant at the Fortress, thus
divesting his imprisonment Of anything
like severity, and ia paving the way, As is
generally believed for full parole and re-
lease. ALI the guards over him, both
during the day and night, being removed,
he now enjoys every possible means OF
comfort and pleasure while held as q pris-
oner in the Fortress. He has expressed
qualification at this action, and already
contemplates yacating Carroll Hall and
taking up his residence with Mrs. Davis
in the apartments assigned her here.
