cation for q writ of hdbeas corpus for DR..

ton on Saturday night.
A recent decision Of the Supreme
Court, regarding military trials and
other important decisions to follow
which, it is alleged, will declare several
laws now on the statute books unconsti-
tutional, have produced a feeling OF
alarm. Able ~jurists of both Houses are
seriously considering the propriety OF

serious danger.
A Paris letter of the 18th, published
in the Courier des Etats Unis is a subject
Of lively comment to-day in diplomatic
circles here. Seward expresses aston
ishment at N. .Rouen's pronouncing his
famous cable dispatch Of the 23d Of No.
vember gross and offensive, as the dis
patch was received by N. Rouen only on
the assurance of Mr.. Bigelow that Amer
lean troops had not occupied Matamoras,
and it was returned to Mr.. Bigelow after
the reported occupation was confirmed.
1t is contended by foreign diplomats that
France did receive it. Those more
directly posted in Mexican affairs ex-
press a~pprehensions that the Matamoras
affair will offer to Napoleon a pretext
for further delay in withdrawing his ex-
peditionary forces.
Ok the first day Of the session after
the reassembling of Congress, the Presi-
dent will send a list of the leading reb-
els who have been pardoned since the
first of January, and who have accepted

stances will be found to be endored by
those earnestly opposed to the Presi-
dent.

BILE, such steps as will enable the loyal

active loyalty to the United States Gov
eminent, and upon clearly defined Re-
publican principles. They also ask
Congress to declare the present State

absolutely false" The correspondent
