(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

mulgated in Hanover.

A decree published here to-day .orders that the
functions of the Hanoverian and Ilessian Ministers

AMERICA.
ARRIVAL OF THE MORAVIAN.
(Via Greencastle.)

.NEW YORK, Sept. 28 (Evening.)
Despatches from Washington emphatically deny the
report that the President had changed his policy with
regard to the adoption by the South of the consti-
tutional amendment. There is, however, reason to
believe that he contemplates recommending Congress
against the representations of all States, and their
proposing a constitutional amendment which will
embrace, in a less objectionable form, the essential
elements of those now pending.
The committee of the Cleveland Soldiers' and
Sailors' Convention has paid a visit to President
Johnson, and presented him with a report of their
proceedings. Generals Gordon and Grange had
made speeches stating that the Constitution desired
peace, and that the Union would soonest be restored
in accordance with the true them), of the Federal
Government, when the measure proposed met the
approval of the loyal people in the North, South,
East, and West. Any proposition not accomplish..
ing this end would not secure the object for which
the soldiers and sailors had fought. In replying to
the Committee; President Johnson referred them to
his previous career as evidence of what his future
conduct would be, and declared that constitutional
limitations must be observed if free Government is
to exist.

A mass convention of soldiers and sailors favour-
ing the Radical policy has assembled at Pittsburg,
and reported a series of strongly Radical resolutions.
General Butler addressed the Convention, demand-
ing that General Lee as well as Mr. Davis should
be hanged, and declaring that the adoption of the
Constitutional Amendment would not ensure the
admission of the Southern States.

Mr. Davis's trial is again postponed beyond
October. President Johnson has appointed Gen.
Dix Minister of the United States to France and
Naval Officer of New York. It is believed that
he will accept the former appointment. Mr. Bige-
low has been recalled at his own request.

Mr. H. Emery, of Kansas, has been appointed
United States Minister at the Hague. According
to advices from Canada, rumours existed that the
Fenians threatened a movement along the Vermont
frontier. The Canadian military forces were kept
ready to move at a moment's notice.
