The following isa eopy of the pardon To ail towhom these presents shall come, greeting: W bereas it appears that in August, 1858, in the Criminal Court of the District of Columbia, one Auguste Helsier, under indictment for murder, ‘was convicted of manslaughter, and by sald court sentenced to the Penitentiary of said District for @ term of eight years; and in the same month and court was also convicted for robbery, and received &@ further sentence of imprreonment for the term of seven years; And whereas a careful examination of these cases senders \t apparent that the evidence against said Auguste Heisler wae of a contradictory and conflicting nature; that the chief witness against im was a notorious bad man,who bas since been convicted of an infamouscrime, and it is thus highly probable that the jury, misled by false testimony, gave an improvident verdict in either case: And whereas the sald Auguste Heisler bas al- ready suffered four years of !mprisonment, during which time he basconducted bimeelf in an exem- plary manner : Now, therefore, be it known that I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of amer- ica, im consideration of the premises, divers other ood und sufficient reasons me thereunto moving, Gee granted and do hereby grant unto him, the said Auguste Heister,a full and unconditional pardon. fa testimony whereof, | have hereunto signed my name, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed Done at the city of Wafhington, this fourteenth day of April, 1502, and of the Independence of the United States the eighty-eighth.

They were however driven across the Rappabannock efter. fileting upon us a lose of five killed and sixteen wonnded, (all cavairy,) including Lieut. Decker, of the Harris Cavalry, killed; Col. Fitzpatrick wounded, ands valuable scout, named Britton, badly wounded. Col. Bayard’s horse was badly wounded under him.

(Per Telegraph from Baltimore. } BaLtimorg, April 19, (from Fortress Monroe, April 18.—This afternoon there arrived here from Warwick 81 wounded men, and the body of Capt. Reynolds, of the 6th Connecticut—the fruits of some mistake made on the night before last in the Union outposts. They formed partof a emall detachment—183 men in all—thet was sent to hold certain of our rifle pits. They were furiously at- tacked by the rebels, and lost 33 killed and 63 ‘wounded, some of the latter being bayonetted, it is sald. Some of the wounded bere complain that their disaster was the result of failing to send them succor for an hour, when they mig bt have been sustained. They also say that immediately after the oceurrence Gen. Smith was ordered under arrest. As yet it ls entirely unknown bere upon ‘whom the responsibility for the result of this skirmish rests; but the prompt arrest of Gen. ‘Smith, if it beso, shews that the Commanding General meaas at once to check such occurrences, by holding his division commanders imm@fiately responsible for such affairs until they search out and bring to due punisument the subordinate officers who are justly chargeable with disastrous neglect, if they be really the culpable parties, {Special Telegram to The Star.) Battimorg, April i9, (from Fortress Monroe April 15 )—{ have just received information satis- fying me that the accusation of some of the wounded on the night before last against Gjierai Smith is unfounded. The Norfolk Day Book admits the rebel lossin the affair to have been about as great as ours; and we hear from War- wick that no arrest of any geners! officer has been made, and that in the camp no blame is attached for it to aught but the “ fortunes of war.’’ The truth Is, it was a hard contested hand to hand skirmish, in which both parties displayed most determined courage, and met with about equal loss. Latest from Fortress Monroe. SAIEE ES The French Minister Hints to Secesh that French Tobacco must not be burned! es Norfolk Still in Flames! The Rebel Loss as heavy as ours in the affair of the night before last! Battimorg, April 19, (from Fortress Monroe, April 18. )—The Norfolk Day Book of yesterday, speaking of M. Mercier at Richmond, speculates in relation to the objects of his mission, and says itis “an event fraught with grave significance. The most probable solution, it says, is that a French monopoly of tobacco underlies the whole mystery. We believe we declare the popular Getermination when we affirm that the Confed- erate States will not tolerate any diplomacy which Places them beyond the pale of public law, and attempts in their very waters their very nation ality. Let us but be true to our honor, and we shall at least win the acknowledgment of pos- terity that we deserve to be free.”” The Norfolk Day Book of to-day mentions that in the skirmish of last night, Colonel McKinney, of a North Carolina regiment, and twenty-five men were killed and seventy-five wounded. There was a very extensive fre in Norfolk last night, and it has continued to burn all day. Sev- eral buildings were destroyed. ( Note.—The natural conclusion from the Day Book's article noticed above is, that the French Minister, M. Mercier, bas distinctly notified Jeff. Davis & Co., that they must not burn or remove the tobacco, now in Richmond, long since bought and paid for by the French Government. The tone of the Day Book proves that he has probably accompanied his notificetion by an in- timation that in case it is not respected France will surely “bring” Jef. & Co. “up witha round turn.” —Ep.
