(From the Dublin Evening Post, -December ll.] The report that Stephens had arrived ln Paris Is stated this afternoon to be fully con firmed. It at farther stated that his extradi tion has seen demanded by the British Govern ment on the ground of prison-breaking, to which demand the French Government re plied by referring the British Miniater to the crime for which Stephens was originally com mitted, contending thnt the minor offence of prison-breaking la merged in the high political crime imputed, aad refusing, consequently, to surrender the refugee. [Prom the Cork Examiner, December 14.] The reply attributed to the French Govern ment we very much doubt. Would it, if made, be conclusive? Suppose that after his escape from prison he had knocked down a man, mal treated: and robbed Mm, and that his surrender was demanded, would the French Govern ment be entitled to refuse it on the ground that, though fee might have stolen one thou sand pounds and left its owner half dead, yet, in the eye of the law, treason was a higher crime than robbery and maiming, and there was no arrangement for the surrender of traltoas, his ease did not come within the ex tradition treaty T The French Government has, we presume, only to do with the offence on which a demand is founded, and, satisfied that that offence has been commstted, we doubt if it would be empowered to shelter him on the plea pretended. However, the proba bility is that no demand has been made, and that Government is not yet even certain that he has left the kingdom. BAPOLXOB PICKS Cr A O.CABBEL ABOCT*»THB EX- T__l—.tOS TBXATY. [Parte 088B1e-fnaenaas London Times.] It is announced thawdhe French Govern ment has given notice of its intention to dis solve the treaty of extradition concluded be tween Great Britain and France on the 13th of February, 1843. The Gazette dcs Tribunaux, in its observations on this notice, remarks that the dissolution of this treaty will, in no way, impede the action of the French laws with re spect to those Frenchmen who have crossed the Channel after the commission of a crime in France, inasmuch as since the 13th of Fe bruary, 1843, not one individual accused of crime who has taken refuge in England has been surrendered to the French Government. The Gazette adds that the treaty was always executed by the French Government, but never by the English. It would not, conse quently, be consistent with the dignity of the Emperor's Government to permit a treaty to exist which the other contracting party did not observe : and everybody can un derstand why the Government desires to put an end to such a state of things. The Gazette says, in conclusion, that the extradition of Frenchmen accused of crime, and who had fled to England, did not' take place in conse quence of the innumerable difficulties im possible of solution which English magistrates raised. The production of a warrant, or even a decree of the Imperial Court sending the accused for trial, did not appear sufficient to prove that a regular prosecution existed against the individuals whose extradition was demanded. The transmission through the Embassy of the acts and decisions delivered by the French committing magistrates or ema nating from the French tribunals, although invested with aU legal signatures possible or desirable, would pot satisfy the English au thorites, and they required the accomplish ment of so many antiquated formalities that the French authorities found it necessary to abandon the demand of extradition. ANOTHER BEPOBT ABOUT STEFHBBS — HB IS SAID TO BE IB IBELAM). [Drogheda correspondence Saunders.? ews Letter.] There are strong grounds for believing that James Stephens is still on Irish soil. No sen sible person would doubt this who had the op portunity of frequently passing through the rural districts, and entering into conversation with young men of the peasant class, who are evidently connected with the Fenian Society, and who assert that Stephens, even at the risk of his life, must remain in Ireland as the " Head Centre" of his country. When asked, a few days ago, why it was that Stephens would be so foolish as to remain here, knowing _ ___t one thousand pounds sterling was offered for his apprehension, and that should he be again taken, all chance of escape might be given up forever, a shrewd country lad re marked, " Would you want a general to leave his army ? Stephens is sworn to remain with his men. I Others argue, that should the Head Centre fly from the country he would be con sidered as having abdicated, and that no Fe nian, after such a circumstance would occur, was for a moment bound to the oath he has taken. There is a s'.rong belief entertained in many remote districts that James Stephens is not only secretly located In this country, but that he continues to issue dispatches, from time to time, through the country to the A's and B's. Another significant fact connected with Fenianism is the great sympathy evinced for each prisoner who receives his sentence in Dublin, and for those who are in prison. It is confidently believed that subscriptions are be ing coUected throughout different districts of the country for the support of the wives and families of aU who are or may be arrested-for Fenianism, who are not provident enough to afford the means of sustenance themselves, and that even respectable farmers are coerced to contribute to the fund. I merely give the tone of sentiment and the feeling which per vades in the provinces, which is too distinct not to he observed by parties in the habit of travelling among the people in the country districts. ABOTHBB COBVIOTtOB ABU SENTENCE. The trial of Jeremiah O'Donnavan was commenced on the 11 th. He dispensed with the assistance of counsel and cross-questioned the witnesses himself with much point and ability, but without shaking their testimony. He pronounced the trial a legal farce. On the 12th, the entire day was occupied by O' Donna van in his address to the jury in his own de fence. He commenced at the opening of the court, and did not desist until after six o'clock in the evening. There was nothing remarka- ■ ble in his address, a large portion of it being the reading of editorial articles from the Irish People newspaper. He insisted that he had done nothing criminal; asserted that his case had outraged ail law, and gave it as his opi nion thatlreland would never be free without fighting. His bearing was insolent, and when he remarked upon the court his language was offensive and saucy. On the 13th, after about an hour's absence, the jury returned a verdict of guilty on all the counts against O'Dohovan Rossa. The Attor ney-General called the attention of the Court to the fact that the prisoner had pleaded guilty to a similar indictment in 1850. In reply to the usual question, if he had anything to say why sentence ahould not be passed upon him, the prisoner said he expected no other result, as the Crown had reserved documents necessary for his defence, packed the jury and the bench. Justice Keogh said he would not allow such observations. The Prisoner-- 4 * Yon may do your best." At 8. o'clock the Judges retired to consi der the sentence. The prisoner was sentenced by Justice Keogh to penal servitude for life. WHAT IS TO SB DOBS WITH BELQICM—BPECCTA tiobs, acnoas, ac. The Mouitemr says : " The loss of a sovereign who had gained, by his wisdom, so high a po sition in the councils of Europe, has excited onanUaoas regret.'' One journal, however, the Opinion Mtttonale, thinks that, with aU his acknowlsdged abiHty, he was too forgetful of •' the profound sense of the revolution which raised him to -die throne.'' When Belgium separated from -e_a_d_.it earnestly desired a .close connection with* France, whereas King Leopold did his best to give a different direc tion U»_tfee sentiment, of bis people. Then, again, fee married his son, tbe Duke of Bra bant, to an Austrian princess, "in order to hasp the French policy In choc.," a_a £ t __ fault fee added that of making' Antwerp one of the saost fora_dable citadels of Europe. By acting in this manner. King Leopold did wrong, far fee sacrificed everything to the in terests of h|s dynasty.

of' agorou. t-s ■noons. , The new King of the Belgians, Leopold Louis Philllpe sse_srVloior; <wae hssm em the ttat of eighteen years old," hp married Marie Hen rietta Anna, Archduchess of Austria, aad daughter of the late Archduke Joseph, Pala tine of Hungary—an alliance which was ar ranged, it has been asserted, with a view to strengthen the Cobourg dynasty on tne Betglc throne after the death of the first sovereign of the line. We may, however, question whether any such purpose lay concealed in the match, inasmuch as the old King knew too well the temper of the Belgian people and their consti tutional tendencies to seek for support for his family from what was then so absolutist and revolutionary a State. The young Prince held for several years the rank of major-general, and had the Honorary command of a regiment of grenadiers. In the year IM6 he aad his Duchess traveled for several months in differ ent countries of Europe, and finally extended their wandering by a trip to Egypt and Asia Minor. He became, on attaining his majority, a member of th> Senate, in whose discussions he has frequently taken an active and InteUi gent share ; and rarely has there been an im portant debate in which he has not participated when within reach of Brussels. The energy with which he pleaded in favor of the estah -1 ishment of a steam navigation service be tween Antwerp and the Levant is always re membered with gratitude by the commercial bodies of the country. On an occasions he has spoken as the advocate of liberal and enlight ened measures, tending to Increase the prosper ity and happiness of the people. When, some ten years since, he visited Par is, at the time the International Exhibition was open, some fac tions spirits chose, for party purposes, to get up against the young Prince a cry of "re-action and French influence;" but there was no foundation for the alarm, which was enacted rather against the Ministry than the Royal family, and the nation refused to heed the po litical calumnies of a few reckless demagogues. The attempt to render the King unpopular had this beneficent result, howeter; it brought out the real sentiments of the nation, and showed how strong was its affection for their constitu tional sovereign, and how deep a confidence they had in his integrity and wisdom. This af fection and confidence wiU, we trust, he now manifested by the Belgians toward the eon of their old friend and rnler. The present King has three children, Louise Marie Amelie, born February, 1858 ; Leopold Ferdinand Elie Vic tor Albert Marie, Count of Hainault, born June, 1859; and Stephanie Clotilde Louise Hermine Marie Charlotte, horn May, 1864. ■sin In the Circuit Court of Hinds county, Mis sissippi, the Hon. John Watts, the presiding Judge, decided that the stay laws enacted by the -Legislature of that State were unconstitu tional. The question was*regularly presented to the Court, on a motion for a judgment in a cause founded on a promissory note, on which suit was commenced previous to the passage of the stay laws. An affray took place on the Dayton and Western railroad, on Monday afternoon, be tween the conductor and some workmen who had taken passage as "dead heads"* on the road, in which two of the workmen were killed and others wounded. The baggage master of the train was also wounded. Brnmmel, in his decay, was wittier than in his best days. He considered himself " inde pendent " at Calais, because he had "Uttle to depend upon" ; and a hungry friend observed at his modest table "that nothing was better than cold beef." The beau replied, " I beg your pardon, cold beef is better than nothing." The colored people of Cincinnati held a meet ing in that city on the twenty-first instant, and resolved to send John Jones, one of their number, as a lobby member to Congress. This action was taken at the suggestion, as it is un derstood, of Charles Sumner, who is anxious that this class of citizens should bring all their "moral pressure " to bear on the present Con gress. A train of six hundred bales of cotton .was lately seized by the military authorities >at Corinth, Miss. Part of it belonged to Gene ral Forrest, who was reported as having been shot by the guard. Forrest is now a partner of a cotton firm in Memphis, and the state ment of his being 6hot was probably a ruse to cover a little more cotton thieving. All the prisoners in the jail at Cynthiana, Kentucky, consisting of four white men and two negroes, recently made their escape from that institution, leaving behind them a writ ten request to "clean up the prison by the time they returned from their holiday excur sion." The New Bedford Mercury says " nothing is wider from the truth than the charge that the Republican party is more anxious for power than it is to hasten the reconstruction of the Union." The Mercury wiU have its joke.— Prentice.' Sumner called President Johnson's message in relation to the South "a whitewashing document." Use a ton of whitewash upon Sumner's political character and the white wash would turn black, not the character white.— Prentice. Eleven negroes have been recently sentenced to the penitentiary from Montgomery county, Alabama, and seven from Tuscaloosa county. At this rate, the penitentiary of that State will be soon filled with this class of prisoners. General Howard asks the modest sum of eleven millions and three-quarter-* fa* his bu reau ! and three millions of It for teachers and school-houses for the blacks. The New York and Erie railway has just ne- . gotiated a loan of fonr million five hundred thousand dollars, in England, for the comple tion of its double track. The owners of the ship Nora, of Boston, valued at $80,000, and destroyed by the Alaba ma, have petitioned Congress to demand re dress of England. The Methodist Church was founded in Ame rica irk October, 1766*. Next year will witness the centennial anniversary of American Me thodism. A colony of fifty families will embark from Maine for Palestine In July next. They will settle near Jaffa, where they have purchased land. Carl Schnrz has been extensively throngh the South in the last few months, but, though a General, he didn't get there during the war.— Prentice. The safe of the Pulaski county treasurer at Winnemack, Ohio, was broken open on Sun day night and robbed of one thousand dollars. It is said that nine-tenths of the national banks are in favor of removing the Currency Bureau to New York. The rebels are said to have fired stones from their cannon in one of the battles o/ the war. They were load-stones, of course.-— Prentice. Such people as Wilson and Sumner and Thad. Stevens are flies in the Union cream-pot. Prentice. The Indiana Republican Convention will be held on the 22d, and the Democratic Conven | tionon March Ist. Some Americans have recently constructed a telegraph across the Andes, to connect various cities of Columbia, South America. The Dominican Republicls in a sad condi tion. Completely desolated hy the recent Spanish invasion, the people are almost desti tute.' The Mississippi Senate has adopted a resolu tion for the erection of a monument at Jack son in memory of the rebel dead. The Mississippi river levees are soon to he rebuilt by military authority. A marble statue of Andrew Jackson is to be erected at Nashville. The Indian* Legislature, before adjourning, passed resolutions in favor of hanging Jeff. Davis. Maine is expected to cnt two hundred mil Hon feet of logs this season. Hon. James A. Bayard sailed for Europe about* week since. QPECIAL NOTICE.—I have this day O appointed Mr. B. B.
