C.. SATURDAY. JANUARY 13. TELEGRAMS, &c. The following is a summary of foreign news gent by the steamers City of Baltimore and North American, not yet arrived. Precautions of an extraordinary character have been taken im Dublin. The Evening Mail says the number of police on duty are doubled, armed with cutiasses. Cavalry patrol the suburbs. All the military are held in readiness at a mo- ment’s notice. Nothing has been done bp nora these measures. The condemned niaos have been removed to the convict establish- ment at Dartmoor, England. The London Times, in an editorial on Mexican affairs, argues that Napoleon will peaceably withdraw sooner or later; and urges America, for the interest ofall concerned, to quietly await the result, and abstain from mconsiderate expres- sions on the subject. The Daily News says that the absor! tion of American stocks throughoyt Europe Jutely, has been more extensive than ever before known, and says this is one canse of the depression of English securities. Sir Charles Eastlake, President of the Royal Academy, is dead. It is stated that Maximillian is omitted from the Catholic sovereigns to whom the Pope sends the customary Ohbrist- mas felicitations. The Miladoof Japan had refused to open the ports, as jpulat in the Tycoon’s treaties. The ministers had referred the question to their respective governments. Meibourne adyices report an increase in the serious diffculty bet n tbe Legislature and the Governor of Victoria. Satterthwaite’s circular says apprehensions of a difficulty in Mexican affiairs caused American securities to give way on the 27th. General Clark has arrived at Brownsville, Texas, with important despatches from the North. Generals Weitzel and Crawford were givena dinner by the Liberal Mexicans in brownsyille. Generals Cobatior, Oortinas, Garcia,and Romero were present, and there was much good feeling exhibited by the Fede- ral Generals toward the Mexican Republicans. The Times’ Brownsville correspondent of the 4th says the American division under Crawford Was not making much head way, as the Federal soldiers were forbidden to enlist, and the Brownsville recruiting office was closed up. It is understood that General Escobade is pre- yoasr. for another attack on Matamoros. The mnperialists surprised several small companies of the Liberals, killing twelve and capturing thirty, who are to be executed by Maximilian. General Crawford addressed General Weitzel on the subject, asking him to prevent the mur- der. The latter replied, that he had entered a solemn protest against the act, but General Mejia informed him that he was esmpelled to obey the orders of his government. General Crawford was shot at from the opposite shore, but an apology was afterwards offered. A rencontre took place at the Spottswood Hotel, Richmond, yesterday afternoon between Mr. Pollard, editor of the Examiner, and Mr. Brooks, the correspondent of the New York Times, the former using a cowhide. Neither received any serious injury. The provocation for the assault was a letter in the Times of the Sth inst., ridiculing Mr Pollard. The Herald's Richmond special says that rumors prevailed there that Governor Pierpoint was about to resign in Ragnng geeaey ofthe defeat of his ap- pointees in the Legislature, who were Union Inen. The same special says Pollard attacked Brooke, who was unarmed. Poilard was armed with a pistol, knife, and cowhide. Brooks took the cowhide from his assailant, and threw it away, when Pollard drew a knife, and the parties were separated. On the last trip of the steamer Moses Taylor, from San Francisco to San Juan, an insane Fenian shot two Englishmen who ventured to deny their having any Fenian procliyities. He was wounded himself and jumped over- board. On being rescued and hauled on board he would haye been instantly lynched had not some of the passengers interfered and pela him over to be dealt with according to aw. The Cunard steamship Canada arrived in Boston, Tharsday, from Liverpool. While at- tempting toenter Halifax,on the evening of the Sth, she ran wpon some rocks about ten miles from the entrance to that harbor. She thumped heayily three times, but slid off with- out receiving any serious damage. A poruon ot her cargo was damaged. General Thomas aly informs Governor Patton, of Alabama, that all the United States troops are to be moved from that State, and arms and ammunition furnished to the State militia, and provisions for destitute families is tobe promptly furnished. The same report has been received in Georgia concerning the withdrawal of the troops. A special from Columbus, Ohio, to the Cin- cmnati Gazette, says: “General Sherman has writen a private letter toa prominent gentle- man in this city, in which he takes strong grounds against any interference in the Mexi- can imbroglio.” The New York Associated Press, at a meet- ing held on the 12th instant, passed resolutions expressive of their feelings of regret at the death of Mr. Gerrard Hallock, late of the New York Journal of Commerce. Benjamin B. Marshall and August Fricke, of Pittsburg, Penn, and “Negro Isaac” ot Hancock county, Ga., were executed yesterday for murder. Governor Fairchild, of Wisconsin, and Brownlow, of Tennessee, delivered their inaugural messages yesterday. soso, The Air-Line Railroad from Washington to New York.

The House of Representatives eerpeaene! re- sumed the consideration of the bill to extend suffrage tothe negroes of the District of Co- lumbia, by striking from ail laws and ordi- nances the word “white.” Dr. Davis, of New York, said that under cer- tain restrictions he was vot opposed to extend- ing the elective franchise in the District of Co- lumbia; but he remembered that in iS60, the bumber of colored persons in this District was fourteen thousand, and in 1862, afier the pas- sage of the emancipatien act, refugees came hither from Virginia and Maryland until near- ly thirty-five thousand were incorporated with the community. This accession was from the fleld and planiation generally, who had known litue or nothing of civilization excepting the lush of the master. He, therefore, submitted whether it was generous, wise, and expedient that sucha large number of such new residents should possess the right ot unqualified suff- rage. In his honest judgment it would be im- Proper to confer this right until intelligence shall be enforced or inspired in this class. He believed the black man was pegees to citizen- ship, and therefore entitled to p tion, and it was right to extend the shield of the Govern- ment over him, as over the proudest grandee ofthe land. But citizenship was one thing and the right of suffrage another. Under all the circumsiances he was unwilling that unre. siricted euffrage should be given the black man, as proposed by the pending bill. Mr. Chanler, of N. Y., expressed his views upon the subject. Suffrage once established here, the principle must hereafter include all the negro race throughout the United States, This is a white man’s Government, and the at- tempt of Congress to govern the people of the District of Columbia by such radical measures as that now pending was contrary to the Con- stitution of the United States and the spirit of the Declaration of American independence. The American sovereign is the white working- man, who acknowledges no master. But this bill proposed to give suffrage and a part in the Government to the subjects of the dead King Cotton, who was buried by the white volun- teer forces. The Union is the emblem of the triumph of the whie race, and should never be surrendered to the black. The arrogant majority of the House, by this bill, were en- acting the same outrage which alienated the Colonies from the mother country, and nulh- tying the express will of the peopie of the Dis- triet of Columbia, who had so emphatically declared against negro suffrage. He had not yet beard the question answered, what gain would it be to the people of the United States to extend the elective franchise to the negro here or elsewhere. There was no particular necessity for extending it at this particular time in this District; and he apprehended from the passage of the bill injurious effects to immigration, as well as on the prosperity of the country. Mr. Bingham noticed a remark of Mr. Chan- ler, that those only are entitled to liberty who themselves strike the blow, and said a blush of shame should have come on the gentleman’s cheek when he uttered it. It should not be forgotten that General McClellan, when com- manding our armies in Virginia, issued a proclamation notifying the insurgents that if any of their elaves should rise in revolt and strike for their liberty, he would crush them with his iron hand and bis whole military force. And in view of this fact the gentleman reproached the negroes because they did not strike for their freedom—traitors being on one side of them and McUlellan on the other. Mr. Chanler replied his argument was not to show that negroes were incapable of the blood- jess deeds, but that no record of the black race showed their capacity for self-government, and never struck a blow for freedom and main- tained it. Mr. Bingham, in reply, said the negro was the only race that eyer hewed its way out of chattle slavery to hb-rty without the aid of any other. When the revolt in this country broke out the blacks numbered only one-sixth of the entire people, but, notwithstanding they bad for generations been kept in the sad and mieerable condition of slavery, when the word liberty and emancipation ran along the line they rore as one man, and one hundred and thirty thousand of them arrayed themselyes under the banner of the Republic, fought bravely and firmly, and helped to secure the fimal victory. He also alluded to the success of the negroes in Hayti, now represented near this Government. Mr. Chanler, in conclusion, argued that ne- groes are a race to be kept under. They listened to MeClellan’s proclamation and crouched. They were unwilling to assert their independ- ence at the risk of their lives. Mr. Grinnell, of Lowa, said he was, while in the gentleman’s (Mr. Chanler’s) district in New York, accosted a hundred times by white mendicants, while in the District of Columbia he had never been approached for alms by a black pauper. In advocating the pending bill he contended that the negroes earned the right of ballot by their use of the bullet durmg the late war. The blacks throughout the contest were faith- ful, while many whites in this District mpa- thized with the rebellion, and some of them Went South to assist in the rebellion. He never would prefer a white rebel to a loyal black man. By passing this bill the House would imaugurate the ps, that justice is the best safeguard to civil society. The House, without taking any question, fa. journed till Monday. REORGANIZATION OF COURTS OF THE DISTRICT.
