A Paris correspondent says, notwithstanding the reporta soinetime since that tho Alabama was so mota out (hut shc would have to be abaudoned and would never go on the ocean again, she made a trip from the East to Cbcrbourg in such a short tiine that she wa thought to be the Florida, and so telegrapbed. On her arrival Com. Winslow, then in Holland, was immediately seut for by Mr. Dayton. He arrived just in timo, as by a protest of Mr. Daytou, the French authorities were obliged to order the Alabama out of port. Semmes put the best face on the matter he could, though it is evidunt ho did not hke to face a war ship. Ho sent word to Commander Winslow that he iuteudcd to drive him oflf, and Wiuslow replied : " Let him try it." The fight was so slioi t and decisive that one would have thought the Alaburna had changed places witli. ono of her unarnied merehantmen victini3 Tt is not true that the Aiabama at aujc linie attempted to board the Kt'aisago. Wlien the Alabama was disabled in hermachinery, the Kearsuge was run up close to her, and poured in a destructivo convergii.g broadside, which tare away a who'.e section of the Alabama's side, at water liue, and le.t water through in cascados. The Alabama then tunied tail and made for the shore. Coininander Winslow hoisted his fl;ig of viciory and purs'üed, but finding thnt the Alabama was sinking, he lowered his boats to piek up the crew. Mr. Dayton iuformed Commander Winslnw that the prisouers eonld not be parolied, but might be transferred to the. St. Louis, when she arrived and conveyed to the United States Winslow claims tBat Öapt. Semmes and others takci' to Southamptor, are bis prisoners, as he had ampie means to piek them ip, but an English jacht aetually stole them, as f by a pi'e arranged plan. thus constituting a clear case of interventio'n.
