Government.In the House of Commons, Mr.Buston called attention to the deportation of a negro regiment from Egypt by the Emperor of the French, which he characterized as a most base proceeding, and worse than a revival of the slave-trade.Lord Palmerston said the transaction was in some of its details liable to stronger censure than his friend applied to it.The Emperor of the French, on account of the mortality of the French troops in Mexico, had desired to enlist a force of Africans for service there ; but the Pasha at once went beyond this request.A regiment of Nubians was marched down to Alexandria, and forthwith shipped on board a French frigate before they knew why or where they were going.This was not the intention of the French Emperor, who only wished to enlist Africans voluntarily ; but the conduct of the Egyptian sovereign was exactly similar in violence and cruel ty to that which had been committed at Warsaw He, however, hoped that the French Government, which had expressed its strong dislike to what had beea done at Warsaw, would feel that this was exactly the same, or rather worse in cruelty, for the Nubians were carried to an unhealthy climate ; and he trusted that they would, as far as possible, repair the wrong.Her Majesty\u2019s Government had expressed an opinion to this effect to the french Government, The Board of Trade returns for the year 1862 are published.They show the total exports of Great Britaiu to have been £124,137,812 in value, against £125,102,814 in 1861,and£l35,891-227 in 1860.Daily telegrams as to the health of Prince Alfred were received from Malta, and they continued to report satisfactory progress.FRANCE.The Paris correspondent of The London Glebe says there were rumors of the last American mail bavingi brought from New York Mexican bills signed by Gen.Forey, altogether beyond M-Fpnld\u2019s calculations.The Bourse on the 24th was very flat, and Rentes declined to 69 Ihe London Post Cainks the King of Prussia\u2019s fate lies in the bands of the three Great Powers, and that unless they combine to force him Into a safer policy than that which he has followed hitherto; he will fall a victim to the most aggressive of them.The Post concludes by observing: \u201cWhen the Emperor Napoleon, Lord Palmerston, Count Rechberg and Garibaldi are working for the A HIGH-HANDED OUTRAGE.In such fashion does the Ogdensburg Advance commence a story of which the following are the facts :\u2014 \u201c A man named Harney seduced and ran away with the wife of a gentleman in Ottawa, the new formed couple coming to this place.It is alleged by the woman\u2019s husband, that Harney not only took his wife but his money, which the latter, however, denies.He was arrested here for the offence, and committed to the lock-up.During that night Harney was clandestinely taken from the lock-up, placed in irons, ana by force carried to Canada, where he is now in gaol, and from which place he telegraphs the facts to his counsel.It is said the officers of the law are implicated in this transaction.If so, or whoever the guilty parties may be, we trust they will be brought to speedy trial.We unde-stand it is the intention of Mr.D.Magone, jr., to ask Governor Seymour to demand his release from the Canadian authorities.\u201d The Ottawa Union gives a very different version of the story :\u2014 Some eight or ten days ago a man named John Flannery\u2014not Harney\u2014a resident on the Gatineau, ran away with the wife of a neighbour the lady carrying with her about $400, the property of her liege lord.The defaulting pair proceeded to Ogdensburg.A person from Ottawa who happened to be iu Ogdensburg, accidentally met them, and like an honest man tried to persuade the erring fair one to return to her home.Not prevailing, however, he had Flannery arrested and placed in the lock-up, after which he telegraphed for the hu baud; the next evening the Lijured man, with a few friends, arrived at Ogdensburg, and the first step he took was to make search for his better half (?), who, had made her escape.They went to the lock-up and requested that the prisoner he giveu up to them, which request, without force or persuasion, the trustworthy officials at Ogdensburg most courteously-acceded to, and took the precaution to handcuff him, so that he would not give any trouble.He was then driven to the river, across which, with his conductors, he quietly travelled without being gagged or otherwise forcibly handled.It was not until he had trodden on British territory that he was taken into custody by a Canadian detective and conveyed to Aylmer.If this story be the true one, the American authorities have only to find fault with the \u201c trustworthy and courteous officials of Ogdensburg.\u201d APPOINTMENTS.Quebec, March 7.His Excellency the Governor-General has been pleased to make the following appointments :\u2014 The Hon.T J.J.Loranger, Q.U , to be a Puisne Judge of the Superior Court for Lower Canada, in the room of the Hon.D.Mondelet, deceased.Quebec, March 6.ACTIVE FORCE.Seventeenth Battalion Volunteer Militia Infantry of Canada.To he Lieut.-Col.:\u2014Major J.G.Blanchet.Fifth Battalion, Montreal.- To be Capt -.\u2014Lieut.T.Barry, vice Murphy, resigns.To be Lieut.:\u2014Ensign S.B.Heward.vice Barey, promoted.To be Ensigns : \u2014A.C.Piusonneault, vice R.Moat, prom;
