MAJOR GENERAL PRANKLIN, It is believed in military circles here that Major General Franklin, hearing that allega- tions of tardiness and inefiiciency in his late command had been made against him, to the Government, askei to have a court-martial assembled for his trial under them, immediately on being relieved from duty with the Army ot the Potomac, and that it has been determined to accede to his request. So we shall probably soon find the names of the officers who are to compose the court, announced in an official order. THE EXPEDITION UP WHITE RIVER. The Navy Department has received informa- tion that the naval expedition up Whit« river, under the command of Lieut. Commander Jno, G. Walker, was successful in accomplishing the duty on which it was sent. He pushed on to Duyall’s Bluffin the Baron De Kalb. An- nexed is bis official report. The capture of the guns alluded to renders it very difficult for the retels to defend the approaches to Little Rock, and it is believed that the State of Arkansas is now completely in our power: U.S. Gunboat Baron De Kalb, Duvall's Bluff, Jan. 16, 1863.—Sir: L have the honor to report my arrivelat this place. Leaving the trans- ports at Arkxpola, four miles below, I cleared for action and steamed up the river, arriving at about 3o’clock p. m., meeting with no resist- ance. I made fast to the bank, and landiuga party took possession of all the public prop- erty. I fourd two S-inch guns and carriages and about 200 stand of arms, with accoutre- ments, and three plartorm cars. Theguns were upon skids, and were being placed upon the cars when the rebels took the alarm and fled. The supper of the soldiers was found cooking when I arrived, and they left blankets and traps of all kinds behind. I took seven prisoners, and from them und the negroes learn that the troops engaged in loading the cars ran away about fifteen minutes before I arrived; at the same time the steamer Blue Wing went up the river. The guns and carriages are in joi or- der, and ney of the small arms are new En- fieldrities. Uy troops I drew off my men and turned over the place to the army. Iam, very respectfully, your obed’t sery’t, Joun G, WALKER, Lieut. Com‘d’g. To Acting Rear Admiral David D. Porter, Commanding U. S. Mississippi Squadren. ‘This is just the paper above all othors for per- Sons sojourning in the National Metropolis to send to their friends at adistance.

The Intelligencer notices the remorseless exac. tions mace upon the President by his professed adherents, and says: “The President to-day is more indebted to the-considerateness of candid and patriotic op- Ponents than to the gratitude of political ‘friends’ who assume to prescribe and coerce bis line of conduct.” + sce ‘ ‘SP The French troops in Mexico have suf- ered two ignomiuious defeats that will be bit- terly galling to the pride of the nation. On the Gnorning of the 18th of December, during 8 fog, ‘the advance guard, under Gen. Berthir, was ‘attacked by S00 Mexican cavalry and complute- ly routed. Subsequently the Mexicans, with 10,000 men, made a sortie from Puebla, and at- tacked and defeated a French division 11,000 “strong. A French convoy had also been cap- ‘tured. In cansequence of these reverses the ich had been forced to retreat to Oriezam- ‘ba. Their communications were cut off, and they had been forced to abandon Jalapa and ‘Tampico. The small pox was raging at Véra ‘Cruz. i WH Private letters just received in Liverpool ‘by the mail steamer Ethiope, from the West | ‘Coast of Africa, state that the slave trade was wery brisk at Whydah, ard that several sailing ‘veuzels and two large screw -steamers had taken ‘In cargoes of negroes at that place, and got clear way to sea, notwithstanding the presence in the vicinity of one or two Hritish eraisers. It fs eaid that there isaregular system of tele- graphy practised between the slave dealers all long the coast, and that the cruisers are well ‘Watched, so that the slave vessels are con- stantly apprised of their movements, and take measuris accordingly. This doubtless accounts for the escape of the slavers. S7 While our ice dealers are bewailing «a short crop” there is in Boston and elsewhere an abundant supply.

Boileau, proprietor and editor of the Fyening Journal of this city, was arrested at an «ariy hour yestertiay morning at his resi- den «, No. 43 franklin street, by a detachment cf the provost guard. The arrest was made by order of the Goverament, and the prisoner was itsmediately acnt to Washington. Mr. E. W. Carr was also arrested and confined in the guardhouse, but was eubsequently released. We understand that Mr. Carr was arrested through a misapprehension of the officers of the Government, as he was supposed to be a part- ner in the publication of the Journal. Yester- cay afiernoon the paper contained an editorial announcement of the arrest, giving what it states were the reasons prompting the Govern- ment to exercise its power against disloyal sym- patbivers. The Journal says: “Mr. Boiieau was arrested because he was a Democrat, and becaust his paper is ® Democratic paper.” Disinterested readers of the Evening Journal will have no difficulty in discovering the reason for @his arrest. Considerable excitement was created in the vicinity of the office during the af:ernoon. Notwithstanding the slushy weather, a large and somewhat boisterous crowd assembied in | the neighborhood, and were evidently disposed to make some sort of a demonstration. A num- ber of soldiers belonging to the provost guard took possession of the office at about 4 o'clock, and all sales of the paper were immediately stopped. The acting editor of the paper was nowhere about, nor could any one tell what had become of Mr. Carr. regan, and other well- a ers, visited the office and yentilated their opin- ions on the “outrage.” Mr, Wm. D. Baker essuyed to make a speech to the soldiers of the guard about abolitionists and contractors, un- | paid soldiers and Government plunderers, white men’s rights and black men’s privileges. Mr. Baker announerd himself «the editor of this paper,” and dared anybody to arrest him.

Dockray, ar- rived Inst night from the Rappahannock and Potomac flotilla, with a lot of prisoners, con- traband goods, &c., which were captured by the Currituck, Capt. Linniken, about the mouth of the Piankatank river, on Thursday and Friday of last week. The Currituck having received information of the contraband trade being prosecuted in the region of the Piankatank, laid off the mouth of jackson creek on the nightof the 2ist, and in the morning diecovered two boats coming in from the bay, from which they took several prisoners and a lot of goods, and daring the oss several other boats from the same quarter laden with the same kind of merchandise were taken, which would seem to indicate that the con trade is carried on in that quarter by boats in squadrons. On the 23d, a boat from the Currituck was. sent to Mar pain asloop called the Invincible, which had run into Indian creek; and while om the way down the creek they were fired on by a body Of Rebel cavalry, numbering some 30 or 40; one of the shot taking effect, an: wounding one of the officers of the Currituck slightly. The boat immediately brought out the sloo; 4 and the Currituck was run up to within shell. ing distance of the cavalry, and about 30 shell thrown into their midet, scattering them in all directions, Several of the Rebels were seen fall from their horses, and it is supposed thata number were killed and wounded. The prisoners number fourteen—two .of whom were taken on the banks of the rivee with arme in their hands, and two are culored. Two refugees from that section of the country are ip the lot. The prisoners are mostly from | Annimessex, on ‘he Esetern Shore, and have, | itis thought, been engaged in this business for rome time.
