Another communication on the subject of kidnapping Regroes ip Egypt for the French army in Mexico has been received from the correspondent of the London Times at Alexandria. He confirms hie previous report, and says that every negro the police could lay hands npon was seized and forthwith despatched to the French transports, without oven being allowed to take leave of his family. It is algo beyond a question that the government were preparing a second batch; but the indignant protest of the British, American and Austrian consuls, besides the change of government that has now intervened, renders it altogether unlikely that the design will be carried into effect. Napoleon's Ho; Davis. Paris (Jan. 25) correspondence of the Loudon Post.) uch uncertainty prevails as to the temper f $be MSE: ican people. Some say theygwill ever willingiy coubtd- nance the presence of French troops to support any form of government, others speculate dp the creation of a Freneb party, got up By church induence. But the most striking romor at Vera Cruz is (as by reports given in the Moniteur) that France wili not retire from Mezivo, but form an alliance with the South of America, and establish @ per- manent depeniency. The Emperor has, report &: fora Jong time past indulged in {airy dreams about Mexico. We know be once thought of creating a monarchy; but that idea is said to have been completely abandoned. It was also understood by the advisers of the Emperor, only a short time since, that the army would retire as soon as @ retrograde movement could be made with honor, But IT am told that at Vera Cruz, Cm 4 naval and military officers, it is thought that a Freucl army will long remain in Mexico. They say:—“We are evidently going to establisMa new government, and put down the President. We must remain some time to protect the Power we create. We could not leave e monareby or a republic cf our own creating without a Tuilitary force for some time at least,” and so they argue that France will hold Mexioo. If sueh prove to be cor- rect specniations, then France will aasurediy find it con- venient to male an allianc: with the Southern republic of America. The North assuredly will be always opposed to the occupation of American soi! by a European Power, and especially by the soldiers of imperial France. 1 have bo doubt the fature policy of the peror in Mexico wil Since oa . ‘They say it is an expensive war, event in houtilities with America—two reasons for bringing the e: ition home.

General Fore; however, had acted from the first with great caution. He found one mule was wauted for every three men, ‘Tiere was much more to do than be expected, when he first landed, before he vould push on.

The Presi- dent has taken away from the church vast districts of land which the prieste ha? illegally ueurped, and Placed thowe Jands in the hands of farmers or any one who would culsivate Cuem in some way or other.

Sullivan.—Ex-Re- corder Smith having concluded his lengthy addross to the jury, Mr. Hall, District Attornoy, summed up for the pro- secution in ® very eloquent speech, holding that tho ac- cused was clearly liable to tho charge of murder. Judge Leonard then proceeded to charge the jury, as follows:— TIM JUDGR'R CHARGE, Gextiewen or THE JuRY-—It is not disputed that the prisoner at the bar killed Thomas Byrnes on the night of ‘the 29th November last by shouting him. The question which the jury are to determine ether the prisoner occasioned his death ip such 4 manner ag to constitute the crime of murder in the first or second degree, or of man- slaughter in ono of the dogrees defined by the statutes, or whether the killing occurred in self-defence, and was therefore justifiable and not criminal. Murder ta defined by the statute law of this State to be the killing of any human being without the authority of law, by poison, shooting, stabbing or any other means, or in any other manner, except when such killing {8 manslaughter, or ex. usable or justifiable homicide. euch killing is murder in the first degree when perpetrated from a premeditated design to effect the death of the jersou kilied, or of any human being, or by an act immiuentiy danyerous to others and evincing n depraved mind , regardless of human life, although without any premeditat design to effect the death of any particular individual, or in committing arson ip the first degree. Such killing is murder in the second degree when not murder in the first degree, or mabslaughter, or justifiable or excusable homicide. So far as the present case is concerned, it will be sufficient to refer to one definition’ of Justi@adle homicide, the other definitions of such nomt- cides not being applicable . Th makes the killing of a human being justifiable when committed in the law ful defence of the persou, whea there shall be reasonable und to appreheud a design to do rome great personal ry, and thore shall be imininent danger of such design being accom, It is insisted by the counsel for prisoner that he committed the act with whic. ho stands charged bere under such chr oamstances that he was jus whother the killiag was justifiable here adopt certain proporitions of 8 counsel.
