here this evening and reports all quiet there. Filing of cannon in that direction occasioned some alarm, but subsequently it was ascertained that the troops were practicing with their guns. Capt. Medlar, of the Pennsylvania Fiftieth Regiment, who has performed the arduous duties of provost-marshal, and gained the universal esteem of the citizens of Alexandria for his leniency in the treatment of themselves and the prisoners under his charge, has been relieved, at his request, and Lieut. Shepherd, of the Massachusetts Fifth Regiment, has been appointed to the position. There are numerous reports from Fairfax Court-House, but all unreliable. The Confederate troops were certainly there at four o'clock yesterday afternoon. J. Barnes, of the Fairfax Riflemen, some time since captured as a Secession scout, was released to-day on parole of honor. He bears evidence of the kind treatment of himself and fellow- prisoners, rendering him almost powerless, he says, to bear arms

nd others, of the 1st Maine regiment, and Mr. F. A. Patterson, of the Treasury Department, upon the order of Gen. Mansfield, and committed to jail by Justice Donn. The cause of arrest was the fact that letters implicating him in the riot at Baltimore when the mob attacked the Massachusetts regiment on its way to Washington were found upon his person. Yesterday afternoon John L. Emmerson, alias Lieutenant Hill, was brought to this city under arrest. He was taken in Alexandria by Lieutenant Shepherd, the provost marshal, charged with being a spy. It is alleged that for some time past Emmerson has been passing himself on as Lieutenant Hill, of the Sixth Massachusetts regiment, alleging that he was wounded in the riot in Baltimore. By means he became familiar with the officers and men; but as there is no such officer in the Massachusetts regiment, and Emmerson is a native of Alexandria, it was thought proper to arrest him. He was committed by Justice Donn. Yesterday Justice

Lord Lyons stated to Secretary Seward, in Dec., 1861, that in case of war Great Britain, would be willing to abolish privateering as between the two nations, if Lincoln would make a similar arrangement. In the House of Lords much indignation was manifested about the arrest and imprisonment of Mr. Shepherd, an Anglo-Canadian, and it was urged that the Government would not be satisfied with Seward's remonstrance, but demand satisfaction. In the House of Lords, the subject of the blockade of Southern ports was brought up, and will be discussed. A member said it would be a violation of international law to recognize a paper blockade.
