by France against Corea, says the
news confirms a previous statement
that the French Admiral would act en-
tirely on his own responsibility and
without the special instructions of his
Government. He has thus, probably,
precipitated a second Cochin China
conflict for which the Emperor will
not thank him.
The Telegraph has also received
news of the American schooner Gene
raj Sherman having run ashore, Qcto-
Der 5, on voyage for Corea, with q
large crew. The telegram says forty
persons have beep murdered by the
Coreans.
The Lincoln Assassination Conspirators.
The Fortress Monroe correspondent
OF the N. Y. Herald writes.
A boz stswain, formerly of the rece;v.
ing slip Vermont, named Brogder, who
has been prisoner for rearly year at
the Dry Tortugas and was recently
pardoned, was taken on the Newbern
at Key West. He gives very intel4'
llgont and no doubt entirely accurate
account account Of the present condition.

Spangler, OLoughlm and Arnold Ae:
cording to his statement, DR.. Muda has
neiel, through his a'Sttt atteiapt t az escape epe
by conceaEng himself ina coal banker
Of the steamer Winfield Scott. 1t will
be remembeted that after this fruitless
attempt to extend the area Of his free
dom, he was removed from the medical
dispensitory in which he had been de-
tailed as an assistant, aud compelled to
do the most menial work about the pris
on. He is now returned to his old po-
sition| and enjoys even greater conf
derce' than ever, as in addition to dis
pensihg medicines, he acts as the medi.
cal attendant upon good many of the
prisoners. Under his present kind
treatment and the comforts Of liberty
allowed him, his health has picked up
so much so that he is in
vastly better health now than when he
w.s first admitted to the prison. He
believes that he will shortly be pardoned
and this opinion is generally entertained
by others. Mr.. Spangler is, to use the
expression Of my informant, making
money hand over fst at his carpentry
work. 1t seems that he has daily his
set tasks Of work, and this completed, is
allowed all he cam make beside. Being
a rapid aid fine Workman, he gets his
hands full of extra jobs, and altogether
is doing much better pecuniarly than
when doing the carpenter work at Ford's
Theatre. He ia a.picture of good health,
as also are OLoublilin and Arnold. The
two latter are still at work at their old
employment, These as well as Span.
gler live in hopes of speedy pardon.
