A DisBnrE-:S'rED XUDGE.-We are
credibly informed tl at Judge Under
wood, who was in this city a few days
ago, making arran'gem ents to hold a term
of the United States Court for the Ens.
torn district of Virginia, is at present
occupying the dwelling-house- of Mr.
Willian M. McVeig h, in Alexandria
and claining to be the lawful owner
thereof in fee simi!e., by virtue of a
decree of confiscation and sale entered in
his own court. This house, worth fully
820,000, was sold by 'the marshal of
Judge Underwood's c'ourt for the sum
of $1,500, and Judge Underwood him
self became the purchaser. M.-. Me
Veigh's son was living in the house at
tho time of the confiscation and sale
above referred to. Nr McVeigh is over
fifty years of age, and never held office
of any sort imder the Confederate Gov
ernment. He was indicted, we see,
last week, before the grand jury of
Norfolk for treason. The Constitution
of t.e Upnted States and the laws of
vry civilized' land s oquires that a
man Shall be convicted of treason before
his property, be confisctted, but Judge'
Underwood his,'in this cais,"for reasons
tant can dasily be seen through, reversed
the regular sequence of leg al proceedings.
It also declared that no attainder for
treason shafl work a fbrfeiture of land,
beveud the lifie of the person attainted.
We are not surprised, though, at his
mistake fi this particular, as we hear
he never had a license to practice -law
before he was phiced on the bench. This
is the man who conies among us to oc
cupy 'he seat that Judge Marshall once
occupied.- Rich mond Commercial But

FnANCE-The Paris correspondent
of the London Tines, under date of
Jnne 8, writes as follows : It. is certain
that the Mexicsn agent who arrived in
Paris was sent by 'Maximilian for the
express purpose of explaining the criti
cal state of affairs in Mexico, the menac.
ing attitude of America, and the fear of
his Majesty that war would be declared
by the United States, now that the war
with the South is over.
The French -Government has there
fore, given the Washington Cabinet to
understand very plainly that Mexico is
under the protection France ; that
France will not allow any power to at
tack it, that filibus and adventurers
entering Mexi - y with hostile
designs will, if- lms, Pe hang
ed or shot without time or njerey,
and that tie United Govaratteut,
whose good faite or urse, does,
not doubtwill act. 'I~~ wee l as

man, a member of Parliament, in his ad
dress to an Eu1 lish audience, has finally
di. osed the re;l nature, -character and
pu pose of all the interest that England
felt on the sido (of the South, and of all
the bitterness wdith which the leaders of
the. English people have opposed and
ntusrepresented our efforts to Out down
the rebellion. Earl Russell, Lord Pal.
nierston, Gladstone, Disraeli, the Lon
don 2Ymes, and 'other London papers,
have. spoken on this subject often.
They have sometimes made a total do.
nial; at other times they have given
reasons-false, of course. Mr. Roebuck
is the first man who has had* the *bad
boldness to tell the truth on this subject,
and let out the whole animus that Eng.
land fels agiinst us.. He said on the
9th inst., at Sheffield, 'thiat England
ought to have gone furtier in the same
direction-ought to have recognized
the Confederacy, and le was satisfied
that if she had "great good would hayb
been done," and the great. good was this:
"the arrogant, over-bearing and great
republic of America wdu.ld have been
split in two." That is the point. The
power whose growth and greatness
England fears would have been broken
down. While Lord Brougham is tell.
ing us what "our best friends" advise,
and while so many others of our Eng
lish enemies are be-slavering our success
with the flunkey adulation that is so per
fectly English in spirit, it is. worth while
to keep In mind Roebuck's declaration,
which is thoroughly English too.
Roebuck's animus is apparent enough
but his argument is'absurd. Tho recog
nition of tho- confederacy by England
would not have split us in -two. It
would ;have split England in' two.
-It wonld'have made an immense issue
between the English aristocracy and the
English people ; and the aristocracy
would have gone down, while five hun
dred American Alabamas would have
swept English commerce from the seas.
