NEW YORK, APRIL 28 (Morning).

Three hundred Fenians left Eastport on Thursday
for Portland. The cause assigned for their depar-
ture is their failure to obtain the arms seized by the
Federal authorities at Eastport. Captain Grace,
the reputed organiser of the Eastport expedition,
declares the failure to be due to the imbecility of
O'Mahony. He advises the Fenians to furnish no
more funds to O'Mahony, but to adhere to Roberts.

The popular subscriptions to Mahoney's Fenian
Bonds have entirely ceased since the Eastport fiasco.
It is reported that the Roberts' faction will now
make a desperate effort to secure the support of the
disaffected O'Mahony Fenians by an immediate
military demonstration against some points of the
Canadian frontier.

Unreliable reports are in circulation that the
Fenians are gathering at Ogdensbury, on the St.
Lawrence.

The Fenians who fired at the guard on St.
Stephen's-bridge have been released, the British
authorities refusing to prosecute.
A party of the Fenians from Eastport, on the
way from Portland to Boston, mutinied against
their officers. The ringleaders were put on shore,
and the boat proceeded.
The Fenian prisoners at Cornwall, in Canada,
were yesterday remanded for eight days.
Spain is semi-officially reported to have re-
quested the mediation, and agreed to submit to the
arbitration, of the United States in the complica-

Mr. Bigelow, the American Ambassador in Paris,
informs Mr. Seward that he suggested to M. Drouyn
de Lhuys, dwing a recent interview, that bloodshed
in Mexico might for the present be arrested, if the
Juarists could be assured that the French would
withdraw.

M. Drouyn de Lhuys replied that such an arrange-
ment was very desirable, as the atrocities which
were being perpetrated were dreadful, but that
France had no means of communication with
Juarez on the subject.
Mr. Bigelow suggested that this could be effected
by negotiation with Senor Romero through the
United States, and M. Drouyn de Lhuys thereupon
promised to lay the proposition before the Emperor
Napoleon.
In the Senate Mr. Wilson has offered an amend-
ment to the Constitution, prohibiting the payment
of the rebel debt or of claims for emancipated
slaves, and basing the representation upon the
population, excluding from that basis all males
denied the franchise. Mr. Wilson further proposes
that any State ratifying this amendment shall be
admitted to full representation at Washington.

Mr. Sumner has offered a petition from citizens
of Kentucky praying for the expulsion of Senator
Garrit Davis for treasonable utterances. Accord-
ing to the _New York Herald and Times it has been
ascertained that the petitioners are negroes.
It is said that the House Judiciary Committee

have summoned a great number of witnesses to
prove the complicity of Mr. Jefferson Davis in the
assassination plot ; but though the cross-examina-
tion is limited, nothing has yet been produced to
substantiate the charge.

President Johnson has granted Mrs. Jefferson
Davis permission to visit her husband.
The President has ordered the confiscation of

The Governor of Georgia has requested General
Thomas to send troops to Fannin county, to sup-

Numerous meetings are being held throughout
the country, to endorse the policy of President

Johnson.

roborate the report that the Republicans have cap-
