WASHINGTON, April 10.
The President sent message to the
Senate to-day concerning treaty recent
ly agreed upon by Lord Lyons and Mr..
Seward, and the correSp ondenca relative
to the african slave trade. The presi--
dent, without expressing any opinion on
the subject, transmits the papers to the
Senate for their ratification or rejection.
IF ratified tie Government of Great
Britain will then pass upon the subject.
IF the treaty as now drawn up by the
ministers Of the two Governments, is f.
nally agreed upon and becomes law, it is
believed that, by thorough compliance
Of its provisions, the slave trade will
cease to exist in less than ten years.
BALTIMORE, April9 9.
4 letter from the New York Herald
say the accounts of the progress of af-
fairs, at Yorktown, which have reached
this city through channel, believed to be
reliable, differ entirely from the accounts
furnished by Government.
1t was known at Richmond when a
portion Of the main army of the Poto-
mac moved from Manassas to Washing
ton. 1t was known there whom the corps
de- drn,fe landed and were assembled at
Fortress Monroe 1t was known there
whe. General Mcclellan and staff arrived
at the Fortress; and it was known there
when the march on Yorktown commen-
ced, and the number Of troops General
Mcclellan had whcrcwith to make the at
tack. These facts convinced the Com
fedora'e Government at Richmond that
their time was come unless they took in
slant measures to arrest the march of
General Mcclellan.
| The Notifications of Yorktown were
all that could be desired, both as to
strength and armament, but Gen. Magru-
der had as yet only 80, 600 troops. The
Withdrawal Of such lar-e number of
Union troops from Manassas rendered it
unnecessary to keep the main body of
the army on the Rappahannock along
that stream, and from that arm accor-
din@ly has been largely reinforced.
Troops have been arriving at York
town from Richmond and Gordonsville
every day for the last week. 1t is be-
lievcd that Gen. Johnston and Jeff. Da-
Wis are both at Yorktown, and that Gen.
Johnston is in command. The number
of rebcltroops there cannot be less than
100 600.
