From Washington.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Advices from the
city of Mexico 9TH, say that in the latter part
of last month the British minister concluded
treaty at Puebla, with Dablado by which all
difficultes:with the English were amicably set
tied. Had it not been for the sudden action
of the French treaty with Spain, it would
have been concluded between Dablado and
Gen. Prim. The latter, however, left the
shores of Mexico on good terms with the Ju-
arez government, and minister will be sent
to Madrid to arrange satisfactorily all matters
in dispute.
The president of the United States has de-
clined to impart to congress the correspond
ence relative to the affairs in Mexico since
his last message. He regards it as inexped-
ent to do so at present.
The Intelhgencer has an article condemn
ing the representations that the insurgents
menaced the national capital. Besides Great
ing false ALARM they are unjust to the mill
tary dispositions of the government made for
the defence of the city.
General Siegel has arrived, and had a warm
reception from the president. The Fremont
men suggest command be given him with
Geu. Mcdowell.
The navy department will receive proposals
until the first of June for raising sunken YES
sells in Hampton Roads.
The following are appointed acting masters
mates and ordered to report at New York =
Henry B. Frances, B. f. Morris, John f.
Lovejoy, p. c. Assertion, f. Farbush, Charles
Bostwick, George +. Benson, c. Wendall,
John Sears, John H. Leviscott.
The president has sent message to con-
gress taking upon himself and cabinet alto
gether the responsibility of the measure for
which the house Of representatives lately CEN
sured the late secretary of war, Gen. Gamer
on. 1t is hoped by him and by all the mem
bcrs of the cabinet, that this measure will be
understood by the public as an evidence Of
their determination, that no imaginary divis-
ions shall be gotten up in the administration
The zeal and the unanimity of all are equal
to what have existed here at any time
The public will perhaps soon enough find
out from the disposition made here that there
is not, and has not beeU, any such alarm con-
corning this city or its vicinity as has been
elsewhere imagined, and that the regiments
called for are to be used properly in view of
successful operations by the grand armies in
the field, and to give them perfect efficiency
No advices from Gen. Halleck have been
received to-day at the war department There
is nothing further from Gen. Banks. The
war department received advices this evening
from Gen. Mcclellan of the capture of Han
over Court House. Our loss is said to be
small; that of the rebels considerable in
killed, wounded and prisoners. One of the
enemys cannon was captured.

McEsOvell's Army Moving Forward To-
wards Richmond.

FREDERICKSBURG, May 26.-Om troops last
might crossed the 9icer, and our lines now ex-
tend out about eight miles on the Bowling
Green road, and five or six miles on the tele-
graph and plank-road. The rebels, from their
posts on the hills, were, of course, able to see
our movements and anticipate them. They
burnt the first railroad bridge, out about five
miles, as they retreated, and it is reported by
contrabands that another bridge between here
and Guinness station is burned, and also one
beyond. Two rebel regiments were between
the encampments of two of our brigades last
night but took early leave at two o'clock this
morning.
A reconnaissance out for nearly fifteen
miles on the plank road, and ten on the Bowl
ing Green road, made this morning by Gen.
Mcdowell, escorted by the Harris light cav
airy, revealed no rebels at all, and no indica-
tons were found of their having been in any
force. l apprehend that we could march to
within ten miles of Richmond unopposed.
Gen. Doubleday has been appointed military
governor Of this place.
The reported news from Winchester caused
unconceaed demonstrations of pleasure on
the part of the majority of the inhabitants of
this place.

contracts with persons not legitimatey engaged in
the business pertaining to the subject matter of such
contracts, especially in the purchase of arms TOR
future delivery. has adopted policy highly lnJurl-
Gus to the public service and deserves the censure
of the house.
Congress will see that should be wanting
equally in candor and in justice if l should
leave the censure expressed in this resolution
to rest exclusively or chiefly upon Mr.. Cam
eron. The same sentiment is unanimously
entertained by the heads of the departments
who participated in the proceedings which the
house of representatives has censured. 1t is
due to Mr.. Cameron to say that although he
fully approved the proceedings they were not
moved nor suggested by himself, and that not
only the president but all other heads of de-
partments, were at least equally responsible
with him for whatever error, wrong, or fault
was committed in the premises.

Washington, May 26, 1862.
Two thousand copies of the presidents mes
sage were ordered to be printed, and the mes
sage was referred to the committee of the
whole The house then went into committee
on the hospital in the District of Columbia.
There was sharp discussion between
Messrs. Dawes and VOORHEES,.
Mr. WADswoRTH of Kentucky drew a COM
parison between the present governors of
Kentucky and Massachusetts, saying that
Kentucky would furnish troops without condi-
tons, and fight till all the states were again
under the constitution.
Mr.. DAWES replied vigorously for Massa-
chusetts, referring to the past course of his
state, and saying that Massachusetts will not
tire of this war. She has no blood and no
treasure that she will not freely offer She
will give her last man andlast drop of blood to
war for constitutional liberty and freedom
The committee then rose. Mr.. PORTER
moved reconsideration of the vote of yes
terday rejecting the bill coniscating the slaves

WASHINGTON, May 27.-By dispatches re-
ceived at the war department we learn that
affairs are quiet in the vicinity of Harper's
Ferry. A message from Gen. Banks, dated
at one o'clock this morning, says that Capt.
Collins of the Zouaves dAfrique has brought
his command into Hancock, having had two
killed. A later dispatch from Gen. Banks
says, all was quiet at Williamsport.
