[for the Richmond Dispatch.]Count Mercier Has opened negotiations with the Secretary of State, and Congress have determined to remain at their post during the important mission of the Minister of the Emperor. Any kind of arrangement will be made with the President of the Confederacy, and this is a perfect acknowledgment by France of our independence from the old United States. I am happy that my article in the Enquirer of yesterday has produced the desired effect to prolong the Congress while negotiations with Count Mercier are going on. Dr. Lemoine.

Prisoned cannon balls The use of poisoned cannon balls by the enemy at Corinth, if proved to be really a fact not only justifies but demands retaliation in the same kind of warfare. The poisoning of springs and streams of water, as recommended by Dr. Lemoine, of New Orleans, is one of many appropriate means of dealing with such a foe. When a people are driven to their mountain fastnesses, by poisoned weapons of war, they can make the sources of the water courses fountains of death to those below.

The French Minister states that he never heard until his arrival here of Dr. Lemoine, who is said by the Richmond papers to have had an interview with the Minister, and to have represented 30,000 Frenchmen. The Senate, in Executive session to-day, confirmed the nomination of Martin Metcalf, of Michigan, as Consul at Agua Callentes, Mexico; and of Horatio King, Ex-Postmaster General, as one of the Commissioners under the act for the abolishment of slavery in the District of Columbia.

time for several months, well-known secessionists here had a grand convivial gathering. I was a celebration of the visit of the French Minister to Richmond. It is, however, untrue that Compte Mercier, while in the rebel capital, held any official communication with any other person except the French Consul. His intercourse with prominent rebel leaders, with whom he had former acquaintance, was altogether unofficial, and did not justify the statements in the Richmond papers in regard to Dr. Lemoine, with whom M. Mercier had no communication whatever. His visit, as has been heretofore announced in the Herald, was entirely in relation to commercial affairs. It is well-known here that the rebel Secretary of Legation to France, George Eustis, Jr., has sent home a dispatch full of encouragement to the rebel leaders. He expresses gratification at the kind and favorable reception he has received in the French capital, and is by no means hopeless of patching up some kind of recogniti
