(REUTER'S TELEGRAM.)

SOUTHAMPTON, March 21.
The North German Lloyd's steamer Hermann, from
Now York on the 10th inst., has arrived, with 221 passen-
gers for this port, Havre, and Bremen ; $42,086 in specie
for England ; $97,500 for France ; and $l,OOO dollars for
Bremen. She experienced strong north-westerly winds
during the last four days. Three hundred miles from
Sandy Hook she spoke the steamer New York bound for
New York.

A meeting has been held a Chicago to encourage recruit-
ing for the Fenian naval brigade lately formed there. The
speakers announced that Sweeny's agents were organising
men all over the country, and that Chicago must supply
two regiments by St. Patrick's Day. The New York
World says that Sweeney will have $15,000,000 in the
treasury by the end of March. The New York Times, re-
ferring to Fenianiem, states that when the necessity arises
the Government will loyally assert the supremacy of the
municipal laws.
An open-air Fenian mass meeting has been held
in front of the City Hall, Brooklyn. The speakers
appealed for immediate aid for the equipment of
privateers. O'Mahony, in addressing the Firemen's Asso-
ciation, said it rested with the Fenians to form a regular
Irish Confederation in America. No power in England
could then resist the revoluntinary leverage that would
thus be brought against England. O'Mahony boasted that
there were 300,000 sworn Fenians in Ireland, and that in
the very centre of wealth and power in England there were
Fenians ready to bring revolution to England's door. In
addressing a meeting at Williamsburg, Roberts stated that
30,000 men would shortly be marched across the Cana-
dian border. All that was wanted to make the movement
successful was money. The New York World publishes
details of an elaborate military plan for the capture of
Canada, including the seizure of tho Grand Trunk Rail-
road, by Sweeney with 30,000 men. It also asserts that
the Fenians have numerous vessels fitting out at Chicago,
Buffalo, Bay City, and Cleveland, which will simulta-
neously go to the assistance of the land forces. Among
the earliest aggressive operations would be, it is added, the
overhauling of the British mail steamers. At aFenian meeting
held in Washington, Senator 11Pllougal subscribed his horse
and sword to tho Fenian cause. Senator Wright also
spoke in favour of the movement.
The House of Representatives has recommended the
Civil Rights Bill to the judiciary committee. The house
has adopted an amendment to the bill regulating the trade
with Canada, increasing the duties on lumber and fish, and
making the duty on coal sl2sc. per ton. The President
informed the house that it would at present be inexpedient
to furnish the information asked regarding the extension
of Juarez's term of office.

Recruiting for the Mexican Republic is reported to be
progressing at New Orleans.
According to intelligence received here from Vera Cruz
to the 23d ult., it was asserted that Maximilian had autho-
rised the issue of $20,000,000 in legal tender currency.
It is reported via San Francisco that the Imperial cora-
mander at Sonora had seized freight trains belonging to
American citizens, and prohibited further transportation
through Sonora by Americans.
Advices received here from Panama state that the
Spanish Commodore Nunez had proposed an armistice to
Chili, stipulating however for the return of the captured
vessel Covadonga, and the Spanish prisoners, and the
appointment of peace commissioners. These propositions
were refused by Chili, and Nunez then proposed that the
Chilian Minister for Foreign Affairs should go an board
the Spanish flagship in order to make some arrange-
ment. In reply to this the Chilian Government informed
Nunez that any proposition he had to make would be re-
ceived at the Chilian capital.
The City of New York, Java, Borussia, and Nova
Scotian have arrived out.
A delegation from Kentucky has visited President
Johnson and thanked him for his veto on the Freeman's
Bnreau Bill. The President, in reply, said that the pre-
sent was a most critical juncture in the affairs of the na-
tion, scarcely less so than when an armed and organised
force sought to overthrow the Government. To attack
or attempt to disrupt the Government by an armed com-
bination is, ho said, no more dangerous to the life 'of a na-
tion than to attempt to revolutionize or modernize it by
the disregard or destruction of the safeguards thrown
around the people's liberties in the Constitution. Our
stand has been taken, our course marked out, and we shall
take no backward step in this matter.
