The New York Herald of the 13th contains a batch of correspondence between Mr. Sjeward, Lincoln's Secretary .of SUte, Mr. Day tea, the Yankee; Minister atPari, and ll.,Draqyn de L'huy?, the French Minister of Foreign ; Affairs; which gives' us ihe gist of Napoleon's last media tion scheme. The leUer containing this nimfor rnation bears date Jan. 15th, 1863, and is j from Dayton to Seward, imforming the lattel that a dispatch would shortly be aont by M. Droluyn de .D'huys to M. Mercier, requesting him to Suggest, on a suitable oocasion, the propriety of appointing commissioners:! to treat .with the South ftfr peace and for Union if possible; 'if not possible, for such terms of .'separation as majTbe eventually agreed upon. This communication was I submit ted by Druoy n,ide L'huys to the Emperor on tho 9tb, and returned by him oa the 14th. it con- tains the follflwing propositions:. First, No interference of any kind by a for eign po,w6r. - ' ill Sccoml.li does not require or ask for any ces sation of hostilities cendiner the negotiations: but. a r I " like the negotiations for peace in1783 between the United States and. Great Britain, -permits every thing to procood as l no efforts for a settlement were being made. 1 Then follows the communication of the French Minister of Foreign Affairs to M.

Govt ernment is none the less ready amid the wishes formed in favor of peace, to take into account all the susceptibilities of national feeling; and does not at all question the right of the Federal j Gov ernment to decline the co-operation of the; great, maritime powers of Europe, bat asks whether Ibis, co-operation is not the only meant: which; offers!:, j itself to the Cabinet at Washington: to hasten, the . close of tho war; and further, if the Federal. Go v-( ernment -believes that it ought to repel any , for-r &gn intervention, could it not honorably accept tho idea of direct informal conferences with thefc authority which may represent the States lof the: .South? lie gays that tho opening of frnlbrmat conferences between the belliererant rartias does' not necessarily imply the immediate cessation! of hostilities s i 1 ! He then proceeds: "That nothing, therefore wiould hinder the Government- of the United jStatesi without renonncihg the advantage which it be4 lieves it can attain by thecoutinuatiorfof the war from , entering upon informal conferences with the Confederates of the South in case they should snow memseives aisposed thereto. Keprpsentaf tives or commissioners of the two parties could asi-' semoie at sucn point as it should be deemed propf er to designate, and which could for this purpose be deemed neutral. Reciprocal complaint would be examined into at this meeting," A negotiar tion of this character, he thinks, -.would not ini volve any of the objectons'raised against the di- plomatic intervention of Europe, and,; withopt giving birth to'1 the same hopes as the immediate conclusion off an 'armistice, would exercise a hap py influence on the march rbf events. ! j Seward, io a lengthy letter to Daytonj, undejr date of the Mh of February; acknowledges the re cept of the dispatch of the French Minister". In its conclusion, be says that tbe Congress of the U. States furnishes a constitutional forum for de . bates between the alienated parties, and that Sen ators and Representatives from the loyal people are there already, fully empowered to confer; and , says that seats ace also vacant inviting the Sena tors and Representatives of the discontented party, : who may be constitutionally sent there from, the States involved in the insurrection. He thinks that the conferences which can thus be held tn Congress "have a great ad vantage over any, that tiould be organized on the plan suggested! by tbfe French Minister, via : that Congress, if it ihpngit wise, could call a National " Coo ven tion io adopt , its recommendations and giveihem' all the solem--nity and binding force of organiojaw.

HENRY MAY, OF BAL- I TIMORE, IN THE YANKEE CONGRESS PEACE RESOLUTIONS. . Mr. Hay, of. Baltimore, made a very able -speech in the Yankee Congress against the whole policy of the Yankee Government,-and in favor of peace and the immediate recognition of the Confederate States. In the course of his remarks he said: ' Mr. I Speaker, that eminent and far-seeing statesman, the late Judga Douglas, avowed to me in April preceding his death, bis solemn con vie tion that our political union was at an end. violate no confidence in repeating his opinion since be assured me it was his purpose to publish his views at an early day ; and if the sequel of his life may seem In conflict with these views, there are those among his personal friends here on this floor who can reconcile his conduct, and show the conformity of his plans with a peaceful, though it might, be a revolutionary solution of our national troubles. Judge Douglas, on that occasion, read to me on elaborate essay, that he told me had cost bim more thought and labor 'than any work of his life r that he feared it' was too long, and he wished both to abridge and simplify it, so that it might be read and understood by all ; that he would revise it at Chicago, and then give it to his countrymen. Death, alas I denied this most pa triotic design. . The essay ascribed our present'sitaation to the aggressiv.e spirit, of Northern Abolitionism. It declared bis conviction that the Union of our States as originally formed and maintained was finally destroyed, and no political union could ex ist again between the free and slavehofding States ;.that such an idea must be abandoned, and a commfrcial union, founded upon the plan gen erally of the soil verein of the States of Germany, be accepted as the only practicable arrangement to secure peace now and hereafter. The masterly paper, every word of which I heard read by him self, and which, since his death, I have endeavor ed in vain to procure for the benefit of its wise counsels to our countrymen, fully explained the plan, operation and results of the zoll verein, and showed how, with certain modifications, it could be adapted to sustain all those principal causes and' influences which bave hitherto made. the UnUfd States the happiest and moat prosperous of nations. . . Mr. May concluded his speech by reading the following - resolutions, which be intended to offer Tor adoption : . - 1! Whereas, The depbrable civil war now existing between the State heretofore composing our Un ion,' has failed toTestore it, and if continued lon ger will destroy all hopes of its restoration in tbe fa ture,Ua originally formed and maintained, by our Federal Constitution, and no other political Univn ia either desirable) or practicable ; and, llnnlnnl whereaa. tha intariwta of fcnm&nitv. of iV"zatiOn and the future of free consatutionalXTef"0 all concur in reaairinc- thai this draadinl eCBtet of arms Should ha terminated s.

' , ' v 2v That said cpmmiasioner' be empowered, by compromise, to restore the Union, if possible; but if not, then .to arrange, ; the terms: of a peaceful separation from Union, at wejl of those States whioh now claim to have seceded, as ef such oth ers as by 'the: will of their people in sovereign con- r ventions assembled mayhereafter 'ordain to se- ceae ; and tnat 'said commissioners be solemnly enjoined. to conduct their negotiations as to se cure, by every proper . and honorable means, if practicable, a more harmonious and permanent reunion of all the Slates in a commercial if not a political system.' - 3. That said commissioners make a report of their transactions to Congress as soon as possible, in order that such Jegishuion may be provided aa may be necessary to assemble the people ef the several States in convention to determine their ac tion in the premises. 4. That in the event ef a refusal by the Gov-, ernment of the United States to secure peace, and the only hope of a reunion upon the-terms and by the means herein provided, or by some other prac ticable plan, it -is hereby recommended to the Governments of the several States now com peeing the Union at once to take measures, to effect these objects. The N. Y. Tribune, reviewing' Mr. May's speech, says : g. The Hon. Henry May, of Baltimore, who' is believed. to be better acqoaintedjwith tfceeelings and purposes of the rebels than any other man in the House, is reported in the Globe to have said in his speech yesterday : "The people of the' South believe, and I believe, that there is estab lished a fixed and unalterable antagonism between the sections where slavery is and is not allowed,! ana mat no luture political union, so long as slavery exists, can ever be maintained between them upon any basis whatever." , Mr. May went on to say that the only alterna tives presented to the country are. "separation or; subjugation," and he administered a rebuka to Mr.; Vallandigham for laying so much stress upon ar guments for reunion found in physical geography, wnen all oopes oi it were forbidden by reasons in herent in "the nature of man.' The New York Times, on the same subjec t says : . - :" Some Republicans are so much outaazed at Henry .May's speech on Monday, (which he was permitted to print, after delivering only a part or it,) that they talk of bringing in a resolution for nis expulBion. He said tnat tne rebellion stood before the world justified of God and man, and that the war could only end in one or two ways subjugation or separation as restoration with slavery was now forever impossible. The republicans also foolishlyNxmsented to let Wickliffe print a speech which he did not deliver, and now it is feared that it will expose equally bold treason whan it appears. HOBMBLE DXATH 07 COHFISXXtATZ FBIS0XX&S. The death by freezing of twelve Confederate prisoners at Camp Douglas, Ohio, hu been no ticed. The 65th Illinois (Scotch) regiment, on guard there, bad a meeting and protested against the condition of the -camp and barrack. The Chicago Times has the following .particulars of the death of the prisoners : Word was brought to the city last evening that during the night of Sunday, twelve of tne. Con federate prisoners confined in the pens at Camp Douglas were frozen to death. It is asserted that on Monday morning they were found in the mis erable handful of hay in their bunks frozen stiff, though to all appearances in the enjoyment of perfect health the day previous. The barracks-at Camp Dougla are well known to be totally un titled, during tne prevalence oi sucn weatner as the present, for tie use of anything, scarcely cat tle. Those in which these prisoners are confined many of them aro destitute of stoves, the win dows in some of them are broken out, and through the holes and the cracks in the sides and the apertures in the roof, the cold wind freely enters. IV is said that the local officers at the camp, ac tuated by a humanity their superiors might pat tern after withprofit, have done all in their pow er to make thb condition of the rrrisonera comfor table. But thre are those above them who have a terrible sin tcranswer for. It were mercy that. after their capitulation, our cannon had been turned upon these prisoners, and butchered them where they stood, than that from a far Southern clime, without any paeparation being made for their protection, they should be transported hith er, to meet witn scarcely anything worthy the name of shelter, the rigors of a Northern winter to be murdered by neglect to endure the tor tures of a death by cold. THI ATTACK OX TORT DONKL80N CONTSDSilATI ACCOUKT. The Confederate account of the attack on Fort Donelson almost entirely refutes the Yankee ver sion of the affair. We only had 800 men in the affair.' A letter from a soldier in Wheeler! cav alry, says : At 3 o'clock, p. m., on the 3rd, we camein the vicinity of Fort Donelson, and, upon inquiry, citl sens miormed us lb. at tbe force was not very larce, and had no fortifications : whereupon it war concluded to attack the point. Accordingly, General Forrest, with three or four hundred men on the right, and General Wharton, with about the same number on the left, commenced the fight, which lasted with much vigor for two or three hours. It was but tbe work of a moment to capture jl part and drive the remainder of the several companies which were posted outside the fortifications. Right bravely did our boys move up to then work, lien. aVorrest charging once on horseback and then again on foot ; but sa strongly entrenched were the Yankees in their fortiflca tions and rifle pits that ne retired, although he had succeeded in entering tbe streets of the town. Gen. Wharton, with his command, had succeed ed in getting into the streets of the town on the left, next to the river, alter naving captured quite a number of prisoners, small arms, and a very su perior 12 pounder rifled piece, with its caisson, horses and ammunition. Thus we drove them into a small space: but from their rifle pits and windows of houses -they poured a very heavy Are upon-us, which, 1 am happy to say, was not very disastrous to us. Night was upon us, and the broad' silver moon gave us her cheering light by which to continue tbe attack but finding our artillery ammunition nearly expended, and that of the small arms stead ily decreasing, it wos determined to retire, dust then information reached us that reinforcements ' were coming from Fort Henry, and we distinctly heard the shouts of those 'who were coming up and down on the gunboats. All these concurrent cir cumstances combined to induce us to retire. Be fore our rear had left the old fortifications, the gunboats began a most furious shelling, which continued during tbe entire nigbt. We Would have been glad to" have taken the garrison, but 1,200 men in the rifle pits, with a fine battery of artillery, was rather heavy for cavalry, but tbe expedition resulted in the capture of nearly a hun dred prisoners, among whom were five commis sioned officers, a number of wagons, ambulances, small arms, and a fine brass rifled. piece. - FEDERAL ACCOUNT OJT THE- NAVAL FJQHT AT CHARLESTON. . ; The New York papers contain full aocounts of the fight at Charleston. The rebels attacked tne Mercedita first. One ram struck' her on the wa ter edge keeling-her over, and at the same time fir in Br a shot which entered one of her oort- holes. causing the death of three persons Including a gunner, by a shot and steam. The ram then hail ed the Mercedita. and Captain Stellwagen lower ed one of hie small boats, after leaving one of the plugs oat, allowing; the water to enter it.' The .was the Confederate.tam palmetto, States 2 Do Capt; Stellwagen replying at each inquiry "I am In a'sin king condition.'' The rebels answered, Godd n Jono to. h 1; if vou do not suYrend e will blow you out of the water.

She laid in shoal water, and hence their reply that she could not gink, deeper than, her rails.. -. Tbe rams steamed towards the Keystone Bute, and sent a shot through her steam ' durum causing the death of twenty-one persons rtweJve.by. the shot and nine by scalding with steam. Fifteen were wounded and are lying at fort Koyaiv some in a precarious condition. . in tne meantime the U. S. gunboat Housatotie engaged the other ram, driving her away- at 6J o'clock in the morning, at which time both rams left the scene and proceeded to Charles ton. During the attack on our fleet the Princess Royal, which was tied near the HousatonieT and was-the chief object of - prize on both sides; suc ceeded in getting off, mainly through the ener gies of Third Assistant Engineer Thornton, who E lied into bor fire all tne inflammable material at and. The escape is chiefly owing to his endeav ors as well as her safe arrival at this port, not withstanding the severe gale Which -prevailed da ring tbe passage from Fort Royal. Although the coal was he anthracite with which our navy, is supplied, she made ten knots aff hour on her trip with ease, in tne heaviest storm. Mer usual rate is fifteen knots. The Mercedita steamed down to Fort Royal, escaping with, only one of he boilers injured. .She arrived sately at .fort J&oyal, towed ny ,the Memphis. The rebel statement that the federal ; fleet had entirely disappeared from before Char leston is entirely unsustained by tbe tacts. The fleet consisted of the following vessels r Unadelia, Hoasatonie, ' Augusta, Quaker City, Keystone State, and Mercedita, with 4ne pilot boats. Blunt, mempnis, ana otner vessels, uuring tne aay time our blockading fleet are not particular as to being at the station, and on- the day -of their, as sault most of the'vessals sailed towards the Key stone State to ascertain her condition, and whth er she wanted any assistance. This may account for .their apparent absence at the time of. the visit of the foreign Consuls, as mentioned by the robel papers.- Our vessels as usual resumed their poei- t.ons. ax darK tne next day tne new .ironsides arrived to reinforce tbe blockade. ARRIVAL. OF THREE STEAMERS LA- EST NEWS FROM NASSAU. . On Saturday last three fine steamers succeeded in getting though the Yankee blockade; off this harbor, and came safety into port, xney were the T. D.
