NEW YORK. NUT 12, &UM.
General Canby reports that Dick Taylor surren-
dered on the 4th instant on the same terms as Les.
Kirby Smith has published an appeal to his sol-
diers, dated Shrieveport, April 21, denounc-
ing Lee's surrender and exhorting them
to stand by their colours. He says that
his resources are ample to protract the
struggle until foreign aid arrives, or until such time
as they can secure terms worthy of a proud people.
It is said that a standing Federal army of
150,000 men will be maintained, consisting of one
corps of volunteers, one corps of regulars, and two
corps of negroes.
General Sherman is in Washington, giving evi-
dence before the Congressional Committee.
A grand review of Grant's and Sherman's armies
will be held at Washington shortly.
The Navy Department has ordered that vessels
with United States customs clearances can enter all
ports designated in the President's proclamation
of April 20, provided they have no contraband of
war on board.
The Neu, York Herald affirms that the United
States will declare neutrality between Juarez and
Maximilian, and that Mexican loans will be nego-
tiated in New York the same as Confederate loans
were negotiated in Paris and London. It adds that
if Juarez wishes privateers he can buy them in
American cities. It is reported that a public
meeting in favour of Mexican emigration will be
held at New York, under the countenance of accre-
dited Mexican agent".
General Roseanne has a made a speech deny-
ing either connexion or sympathy with the emigra-
tion scheme, and warning the soldiers never to
join buccaneering expeditions, but to return to
industrial pursuits.
The Courier des Etats Unis says that Seward
proposes to present M. de Mootholon to Johnson,
and if prevented by his health he will write or
inspire the answer which Johnson will give when
Mouth olon presents his credentials.
Seward opposes all breaches of neutrality, and
it is not feared that complications will arise from
this came. Seward is said to have openly expressed
himself in this sense to Johnson and the cabinet.
The press universally denounce the secrecy of the
trial of the Booth conspirators. Riverdy Johnson
will defend Mrs. Surratt. The names of the counsel
for the prisoners have not yet appeared. Mr.
Senders has returned to Montreal.
Gregg, one of the St. Albans raiders, has been re-
arrested, charged with robbing the National Bank.
President Johnson, in his address to the coloured
population, said that he trusted the time would
come when all the coloured people would be assem-
bled in one country best adapted to their condition,
if it should appear that they could not get along
with the whites.
The ram Stonewall was off Nassau on the Bth.

published in the rebel organ in London, asserting
that the crime solid not be imputed to the rebel
government Mason was compelled, by the indig-
nation of the public, thus to denounce the crime
at once. It is not a little curious that, while this
rebel commissioner hastens to exculpate himself
and colleagues from any previous knowledge ot the
crime, Jeff. Davis, the rebel chief in this country,
has not taken the slightest notice or made any
statement of any kind relative to the terrible
event, although he has been publicly and officially
branded as the leading accomplice in the assassi-

nation."
The following letter, which oonfirms the report
of the confession of the sasekain Payne, has been
received by Mr. Clarence A. Seward :
Weshingtoa, May 7, MS.

altboegh the metal spliot which le spelled fn restate the

business somewhat during this week. Id droveout with him
two hours yesterday and to-day. Freerick is doing very
well, is setirely woe:ions. 11 the benterrbege front his
wooed' does pot return la four or five days more his physi-
cians think he will be net of danger. You will be glad to
hear that Payee, the Armin, has fully camfassed his crime
sod all the details respeetieg it, sad the difficulties be es-
countered. He eosin= fully the story ot the agoured lad
who let him into the house, and aka Major Seward's ac-
count. The details which be gives are for obvious reasons
sot made public as present ; he says, however. that all the
plane of that Friday eight not being cianisd out was the
greatest failure that ever was. He has not made say reve-
lation respecting his socomplices. That will doubtless
follow.—Yours, ever truly,
