ARRIVAL OF THE JAVA.

NEW YORK, July 16 (Evening.)

The Senate by 31. against 6 votes, and the House
of Representatives by 11 against 30 votes, have
passed the Supplemental Reconstruction Bill, with
the amendments of the House. The bill has gone
to the President. Congress has appropriated
$1,000,000 for the Reconstruction of the Act.
President Johnson, in reply to the Congressional
inquiry, sent the message to the Senate, stating
that the Reconstruction Act will necessitate the
appropriation of $14,000,000, and that Con-
gress should consider whether by abro-
gating the civil Governments in the States,
the National Government would not become
responsible for the debts legally incurred
by those States before the rebellion, amounting to
$100,000,000, and thereby greatly impairing the
credit. The refusal of Congress to guarantee those
debts would be a violation of good faith, and a re-
pudiation of the legal State debts by the national
legislation.
The Senate has instructed the Judiciary Com-
mittee to inquire whether Kentucky, Maryland,
and Delaware have Republican forms of Govern-

meat.

The House Of Representatives has refused to
order the evidence taken during the impeachment
investigation to be printed.
The house have rejected the resolution pro-
posed by Mr. Munger, a Democrat, asking for
an investigation into the treatment of rebel pri-
soners by the North. A resolution was after-
wards passed, declaring that the house would
entertain no resolution implying other than humane
treatment of rebel prisoners.

The correspondence between Mr. Seward and
Colonel Naphegzi, Santa Anna's agent, has been
published. Naphegzi, on the Bth inst., asked
Mr. Seward to demand the release of Santa Anna,
and rebuke Commander Roe for interfering with
his movements. Mr. Seward replied, justifying
Commander Roe, on the grounds that Santa
Anna had attempted, under the protection of the
flag, and in the presence, and with the co-opera-
tion, of the United States, to foment civil war
in Mexico, and that only great national injury
would justify the United States in assuming a
hostile attitude towards the Republic of Mexico.
It is reported, via Galveston, that the French
Minister, M. Dano, has been refused a passport.
Juarez is confiscating the Catholic convents. Cor-
tinas has been ordered to occupy the line of the
Rio Grande. The late Emperor left by will
$lOO,OOO to the widotys of Miramon and Mejia.
The Royal Mail steamship Java arrived at Queens-
town at 11.45 p.m., last night, with 153 cabin pas-
sengers, $195,082 in specie, and £4Bl. She landed
94 sacks of mails, 10 passengers, and proceeded im-
mediately. All well. She took in the mails for
Liverpool and Scotland.

QUEENSTOWN, July 26.
The National Steam Navigation Company's

NEW YORK, July 13.
The Supplemental Reconstruction Bill, as passed
by both Houses, taking it for granted that the
House of Representatives amendment, in which
the Senate refused to concur, will be set aside by
the Conference Committee, is regarded as furnish-
ing an explicit definition of the letter and spirit of
the original Reconstructicn Act.
The Presidential veto and a subsequent two-
thirds vote over it in Congress are regarded as
merely unavoidable delays.
The President's power has now been so cur-
tailed that it is not expected that he can, even if so
disposed, in any way impede or prevent the execu-
tion of the Reconstruction Act. The clause in
the Supplemental Bill, prohibiting persons from
registering as voters by reason of a Presidential
pardon, and the removal of District Commanders
from military subordination to the President, are
maintained by Democratic argument to be flagrant
violations of the Constitution, being in defiance of
the Constitutional powers of the President as
Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy,
and an interference with the pardon power
unconditionally vested in him by the Constitution.
The resolution of the House of Representatives,
declaring that when it adjourns it shall be until
Nov. 13, is regarded as virtually a defeat of the
impeachment project, as the impeachers strongly
urged reassembling early iu October.
Letters from Mexico state that Marquez had es-
caped to the mountains, where he was endeavouring
to rally a force to join Gonads, and operate against
Juarez. He is said to have few followers, but to
have plenty of funds, take n from the capital.
The occupation of the capital by the Republicans
was not attended with azy enthusiasm on the part
of the inhabitants. Only 100 of the Imperial gar-
rison of 7,000 fell into the, hands of Diaz. What
became of the remainder is not stated.

Gozada and Montenegro continue to ignore the
authority of Juarez in Jalisco, and have proclaimed
