Tribune Correspondence


Tribune correspondence:
The statement Of Mr.. Hurd concerning
the escape Of Col. OorcOran, published in
the N. 7. Times of Wednesday morning, is
q romantic fable, at least so far as ID re-
lates TO the asserted arrival at Fortress
Monroe under flag of truce. OF Mr..
Hurd no such person had been card Of
there.
1t is pTObsble that the entire story is q
fiction.
Gen. Scott arrived by the steamship
Arsgo last evening. He has not yet com
municsted anything in reference to the
ecuse Of his hasty return from Europe.
Whatever communication he intended for
the immediate use Of the Government was
despatched on his arrival.
He looks more cheerful and less care
worn than when he left the country few
weeks ago.
Mr.. Ely reached this city last evening.
Mr.. Marcy, brother Of Gen. Marcy, reach
ed here to-day, having come on expressly
from New York city to attend Gen. Nc
Clellan and his chief of staff, who haue been
confined to their beds for several days
They report that both are getting along
we'll and that Gen. AoClsllsa will be in his
saddle by Saturday or Monday next.
Adjutsnt Thomas urged upon the Presi-
dent the justice Of recognising Col Mul
ligan's regiment and Col. MarshalPs 9th
Illinois cavalry, which were captured at
Lexington. His representations prevailed.
The officers and men are restored to their
commission and pay, and will again take
the field in Missouri
The financial bill which the COMMITTEE
on Ways and Means is pTeparing will, it is
believed, create large demand for United
States stock 70 be used for banking pur-
poses. The bills Issued on hypOthecstion
of these stocks will have the faith of the
Government pledged to that extent for
their redemption. These bills are to be re-
osivsble for taxes and all other public dues
10 the Government, and slso for all salaries
and other debts and demands from the
United States for services rendered and for
material and supplies furnished
Mr.. Stanton, brother Of F. P. Stanton of
Kansas, has been arrested for complicity
with the rebellion in Tennessee He has
taken the oath Of allegiance, and has been
released from Fort Lafayette. @"-
Letters received here from Havana state
that two rebel stesmers, the Odern and the
Isabella, were there. They were some days
ago ct Nassau eOsling, by permission of
her Majesty's vessels at the Government
yard. The same letter states that cur ves-
sells we're not permitted to coal from our
own ships ct that point. Inquiry has been
instituted to know whether such is the fact
Herald's correspondence:
The Cabinet at Washington had long
consultation on yesterday on the affair of
the arrest of Mason and Slidell. Although
the proceedings are necessarily withheld
from the public, We have good reason to
believe that the conviction has been come
to that the belliGerent attitude assumed by
the English Government On this question
arose from the fact that the dispatches con-
veyed by the Trent, under the charge Of
Mason and Slidell, rendered to Great Bri.
tain a protectorate over the Southern
ssates, and IF necessary to make them q
British colonial possession.
1t is stated On high authority that the
whole matter, so far ss has been deTeloped
will be laid before the public in few dsyl
without reservation, although the final de-
cision Of the Government will be reserved
until the arrival of Gen. Scott at Washing
ton, which he will probably reach tonight
