New York on the 6th, has arrived here with 55

landed 24 bags of mails, and proceeded at 10.55
p.m., for Liverpool.
NEW YORK, May 4 (Morning)
President Johnson has issued the following pro-
clamation :

" Whereas, it appears from evidence in the
bureau of the military department that Mr. Lin-
coln's murder and Mr. Seward's attempted assassi-
nation were incited, concerted, and procured by
Jefferson Davis, Jacob Thompson, Clement C.
Clay, Beverly Tucker, George N. Sanders, W. C.
Cleary, and other rebel traitors against the United
States Government, harboured in Canada, the fol-
lowing rewards for the arrest of the said persons
within the limits of the United States are there-
fore offered:—sloo,ooo for Davis, $lO,OOO for
Cleary, and 22,000 for each of the others."

Cleary, against whom the Toronto Grand Jury
found a true bill for a breach of the neutrality laws,
has surrendered. He gave bail for $B,OOO, and will
stand his trial at the October assizes.

Canadian papers announce Surratt's arrival in
Canada.

The: Herald correspondent asserts that an im-
mense number of persons implicated in the Booth
conspiracy have held meetings in Washington since
August, 1864.

The Boston Advertiser says that Booth's head and
heart were removed from his remains and deposited
in the Medical Museum, at Washington. The body
was interred in the felons' cemetery.

General Ewell and several other Confederate
generals have addressed a letter to Grant express-
ing their unqualified abhorrence and indignation at
Lincoln's murder and Seward's attempted assassina-
tion, and declaring themselves to be no allies of
assassins either North or South.

Jefferson Davis, Breckenridge, Benjamin, and
other Confederate leaders, escorted by 2,000
cavalry, and followed by 11 waggons, supposed to
contain treasure, reached Yorkville, South Carolina,
on the 28th. Stoneman's cavalry arrived at the town
on the following day, Mr. Davis thus having one
day's start.
Governor Aiken, of South Carolina, and G. B.
Lamar, of Savannah, have arrived at Washington
as prisoners. It is asserted that they will be regu-
larly tried on the charge of treason.
It is reported that an agreement has been made
for the surrender of all the Confederate troops in
Florida. It is also reported that Canby will only
accept Dick Taylor's surrender on the same terms
as those accepted by General Lee.
Twenty-six of the crew of the ram Webb have
been captured, and arrived at New Orleans.
Mosby has left Virginia, and is endeavouring to
escape to Texas.

Secretary Stanton has rescinded the order prohi-
biting the exportation of arms and war material.
President Johnson made a speech to the Pennsyl-
vania delegation, reiterating that the severest penal-
ties of the law would be inflicted upon the rebel
leaders.

Mr. Seward and his son are both gaining strength.
NEW YORK, May 6 (Morning.)

Sherman's entire army has arrived at Washington,
and he has established his head-quarters at Alex-
andria.

Rosser is stated to have been captured.
Jefferson Thompson has surrendered.
The trial of the Booth conspirators will commence
next week at the Arsenal, Washington.
Beverly Tucker and Cleary have written letters
denying positively having had any knowledge of a
plot to assassinate or capture Lincoln and Seward.
George N. Sanders and Tucker have issued a
manifesto, accusing President Johnson of a hellish
plot to murder their Christian President. They ex-
press their readiness to proceed to Rouse's Point or
some other place for trial, if the Federal Govern-
ment will pay for their defence and guarantee their
safety.
Washington despatches assert that it is understood
that a formal demand has been made upon the
Canadian Government to surrender such of the
assassination conspirators as may be within its
jurisdiction.

The Herald recommends the Government to de-
mand the surrender of Davis from any country
that he may fly to regardless of extradition treaties,
and urges that the demand should be made with
sufficient force to take him as the common enemy
of the human race.

The Montreal Gazette believes that Surratt has
left Canada.

An advertisement is published in the Washington
papers requesting officers and soldiers wishing to
emigrate to Mexico, according to the Mexican
decree, to register their names and addresses with
Colonel A. G. M. Washington. Other offices for
the same object will be opened in all the large cities
of the Union.

The New York Herald says that a scheme is on
foot to enable all those who desire to sustain the
Monroe doctrine to do so without involving them-
selves or the Government in trouble.

The Philadelphia and Pittsburg papers hint
that a filibustering expedition to Mexico ,is being
organised in those cities.

Romero addressed a letter to Mr. Seward in
February last, entering a protest against any
cession of Mexican territory by Maximilian to Na-
poleon. Mr. Seward informed Romero that the
protest would be filed as a testimony of his course
in the premises, and for such other useful purposes
as future events may render it necessary to apply it.

The New York Herald devotes six columns to a
description of the Fenian Brotherhood, estimating
their strength in Ireland at 65,000. In connection
therewith the Herald inquires what England pro-
poses doing in reference to the conspirators in
Canada, and the claims for damages by privateers.
Governor Aiken is on parole in Washington.

The Secretary of the Treasury has removed the
trade restrictions in Delaware, Indiana, Pennsyl-
vania, and Western Virginia, and the Government
is said to be debating the question of the total re-
moval of these restrictions in the Southern States.
The Herald represents Virginia as totally im-
poverished, and the people starving.

The New York Chamber of Commerce has passed
resolutions in favor of clemency and magnanimity
towards the South. Mr. Wendell Phillips advocates
a similar policy.
General Halleck has issued an order allowing all
persons, without regard to rank or employment, in
the civil or military service of the rebel Govern..
ment, to take the oath of allegiance and be am-
nestied,receiving a corresponding certificate. Those
who may be excluded from the benefit of the oath
can apply to the Executive for pardon. Their
taking the oath voluntarily will constitute a claim
on the clemency of the Executive.
Mr. Lincoln's remains were interred in Spring-
field on Thursday last.
Mr. Simeon Draper has telegraphed that only
5,000 bales of cotton have been found in Charles-
ton.
