Fo: the present Mr. Waller is incar- cerated in the prison at Fort St. Nicho- las, at this port. It is thought that he will again be called upon to appear be- fore a court-martial. PARIS, April 2.—The correspondent of The Tempe, at Tamatave, Island of Madagascar, states that Waller was in- dicted on two charges, namely, vigiation of an ordor of the French Admiral gov- erning correspondence, and, secondly, writing to the enemy. The evidence, the correspondent adds, showed that Waller intrusted to an oMver of a steamboat a bulky letter which was posted at Natal and which was addressed to “‘M. Teaser, merchant, Antananarivo, via Vatomandry.” The Englieh mail was rot dropped at Vato- mandry, but was landed at Tamatave, where the bulky, sealed envelope at- tracted the attention of the authorities who opened and found that it contained particulara regarding the strength of the French garrison, the number of sick and the importance of the outposts, &c. The envelope, it is further stated, also cotnained an inclonure addressed to Mr. Waller's friend, E. Underwood Harvey, editor of the Madagascar News, asking the latter to insert it In that paper. This inclosure, it is stated, contained abominable calumnies regarding the conduct of the French soldiers on the Island of Madagascar, and denounced two of Mr. Waller's compatriots, honor- able American merchants, who were going to Antananarivo, as being spies in the pay of Fran: The trial of Waller only lasted three hours and three-quarters, at the end of which time he was condemned to twenty years’ tmprisonment.
