THE STATEMENT OF MARIE, ON
WHICH sURRATT WAS ARRESTED

The foreign news by the cable stated that
the man who gave the information which
led to the arrest Of Surratt is a French Cana
dian named st. Marie He was formerly
Union soldier, and afterwards served in the
Papal Zouayes. Both he and Surratt, it is
alleged, were in love with the same lady in
Washington, and ST. Marie betrayed Surratt
through jealousy. The following is said to
be the affidavit Of ST. Marie, on which Sur
raft was first arrested while serving as a
Papal Zouave:
1 was living in Maryland, at a small
village called Ellangowsn, or Little lexas,
about twenty-five or thirty miles from Bal
timore, where | was engaged as teacher for
period of about five months. | there and
then got acquainted with Lewis J. WEIGH
man and John H. Surratt who came to
that locality to pay a visit TO the parish
priest. AZ that iirst interview great deal
was said about the war and slavery, the
sentiments expressed by these two individu-
ais being more than secessionist. In the
course Of the conversation l remember Sur
raft to have said that President Lin
coin would certainly pay for all the
men that were slain during the war.
About month after / removed to Wash
irgton, at the instigation of Weichman,
and got a situation as tutor -, where
he was himself engaged. Surratt visited US
weekly, and he once offered 10 send me
South, but declined. l did not remain
more than a month at Washington, not being
able to agree with Weichman, and enlisted
in the army Of the North, as stated in my
first statement in writing to General King.
have met Surratt in Italy, at a small town
called Nelletri. He is now known under
the name Of John Watson. | recognized
him before he made himself known to me,
and told him privately, You are John
Surratt, the person have known 10 Mary
land He acknowledged he was, and beg
ged Of me to keep the thing secret. After
some conversation We spoke of the 1nfOr-
tunate affair Of the assassination of Presi
dent Lincoln, and these were has words
Damn the Yankees, they have killed my
mother. But l have done them as much
harm as / could We have killed Lincoln,
the niggers' friend He then said, speak
ing Of his mother. Had it not been for
me and .hatcoward, Weichman, my mother
would be living now. 1t was fear made
him speak; had he kept his tongue, there
was no danger for him. But if ever ! returR
TO America and meet him elsewhere, / shall
kill him. He then said be was in the
secret service Of the South, and WEIGH
man, who was in some department
there, used to steal copies Of the dis
patches and forward them to him and
thence to Richmond. Speaking Of the

NAPOLEoN's RETREATS. - The Undt
Cditolieu, of Rome, Of Nov. 27th, contains
an article entitled The Fall of the First
and Second Empire" from which the fol-
lowing is an extract: Since the .Siecle and
the Ieaps, Of Paris, speak openly Of the
downfall OF the Popes, we may speak a
little Of the downfall Of the second empire.
Napoleon the Third has fallen back; he is
lost, He has retreated from Poland from
fear Of Russia he has retreated from Ger
many from fear OF the needle gun; he has
retreated from Mexico from fear Of the
United States; he has retreated from Rome
from fear Of Orsina and Massini" The
clerical Journal prints two columns in the
same strain, and concludes by saving. that
il sends the article in print 10 the Emperor
at Compiegne, TO Gen. Fleury, to NJ. de
Malaret and to NJ de Saftiges, in order
that they may put it in their archives, and
take it down for perussl when the proper
time shall have come.

VIZ had the pleasure Of a call yesterday
from Gen. Robert Lowry, one Of the Mis-
sissippi commissioners to Washington to
interoede in behalf Mr. Davis. Gen. Low
ry brings back no word OF hope Of encour-
agement from the President nor does he
believe there is enough conservatism lefl
in Congress to save rs from the vortex Of
destruction into which Radical misrule Is
carrying the country at railroad speed.
When Messrs Hillyer and Lowry FIRST
called on President johnson, they
we're led to believe a universal amnesty
would soon be proclaimed, bat couple Of
weeks LATER this impression was removed,
and they now come home convinced that

orders Of men who are not yet known, some
of whom are still in New York and others
in London ! am aware that money is sent
to him yet from London. When ] left
Canada, he said, bad but little money,
but / had letter for party in London L
was in disguise, with dyed hair and false
beard; that party sent me to hotel, where
he told me to remain till / would hear from
him after few weeks he'csme and pro-
posed to me to go to Spain, bat declined,
and asked to 60 to Paris. He gave him
seventy pounds, with a letter of introduC-
ton to 4 party there, who sent him to
Rome, where he Joined the Zouaves. He
says he can get money in Rome at any
time, / believe that he is protected by the
clergy, and that the murder was the result
of deep laid plot, not only against the
life Of President Lincoln, but against the
existence of the republic, "a We are aware
that the priesthood and royalty are, and
always Rave been, opposed to liberty. That
such men as Surratt, Booth, Weichman
and Others, should, of their own &C
cord, plan and execute the internal plot
which resulted in the death of President
Lincoln, is impossible There are others
behind the curtain who have to make these
scoundrels act / have also asked him If
he knew Jefferson Davis. He said not, but
that he had acted under instructions of
persons under his immediate orders. Being
asked if JEFF Davis had anything to do
with the ass assination, he said: q am not
going to tell you Ny impression is that
he brought the order from Richmond, as
he was in the habit of going there weekly.
He must have wished the others to do it,
for when the event took place he told me
he was in New York, prepared to fly as
soon as the deed was done. He says he
does not regret what has taken place, and
that he will visit New York in a year or
two, as there is heavy shipping firm there
who had much TO do with the South, and
he is surprised that they have not been sIIs-
pected. This is the exact truth Of what
know about Surratt. More / could not

SENGULAE EXPREssION OF sYssPA-
THY-LETTER FROM ROBERTS TO

New YORK, Nov. 30, lS66.-Robert
Bloss Lynch, Esq, Toronto Jail-Sir:-
Your letter requesting me to send to Wash
ington afidayits of your non-militaTy con-
nectiOn with the Irish Republican army,
has been received and the request complied
with, in care of Capt. Fitzpatrick, and
will write to General 0'Neill on The sub
iect. | regret to tell you that you are not
going to be hanged. So great crime upon
a non-cOmbatant like yourself would make
every IIishman in America a Fenian, and
furnish our exchequer with the necessary
means to clear Canada OF English authority
in short order-a contamination devoutly
to be wished; and therefore, say, / regret
that you viii not be hanged. 1t would be
a glorious death for you; and life that
would otherwise pass away unknown, in
few years, at most. would become an hon
ored portion of the history of our race and
of the times. rt -.H
But whatever be your fate, pray God that
you will act a brave, dauntlesy part to the
last. Remember that you not alone repre-
sent your own weak nation, in the position
in which yon are placed, but your country
and your race also; and though much l
regret that you are in the power Of blood
thirsty foes, still trust and hope that, IN
der any and all circumstances, You will
make your countrymen proud of you and
your name honored. | remain, yours sin

Dear Sir: / have examined your Stomach Bit
tiers carefully, and find it what you represent it
to be. The high order which the ingredients
going into it take in the Materia Medisa, Is well
as the most happy prORortioned combination Of
similar preparation in the country. The fact
that you use only the purest Bourbon Whisky
must necessarily recommend your Bitters IN
another point. especially as far as wholesome
ness and palatability are taken into eOnsideFa-
ton. l was well pleased TO see in your estab'
lishment the process Of manufacturing your
