The Chronicle this morning published a second edition, containing some
scraps of American news forwarded by its correspondent from Philadelphia. The latest date is the 2d instant. Sonic excitement bad been occasioned in New York by the clandestine removal of two Frenchmen, arrested by he New York police-officers on a charge of piracy, by the captain of a French vessel of war, the Didon, lying in the harbour. The French Vice-Conml is implicated in the affair. It does not appear how the Frenchmen got possession of the pirates, who surely could not have been allowed to go at huge. Two daughters of a planter in Alabama had been murdered by his slaves. A young lady of the same state bad eloped with a Negro. These occurrences had created an "unpleasant sensation "—the elope- ment quite as much as the murder, we dare say. There is no intelligence from Canada worth notice.
