An Important Treaty.

From the National Intelligencer, April 25
The Senate yesterday, we understand
gave its unanimous consent to treaty re-
Gently negotiated by the Secretary of State,
MIR. Seward, on the part of our Govern.
ment, and Lord Lyons, Minister of Eng
land, on behalf of his Government, which,
if we are correctly informed of its proviss
ions, will more efectualy remove source
OF constantly recurring irritation between
the two countries than any international
compact which has been entered into be.
tween them since the Treaty of Client.
We refer to Treaty for the Suppression
of the African Slave Trade, which defines
and settles within specified limits, the Right
of Search, that fruitful source of vexation
and danger during the last forty years. At
period as far back as that, during the
Presidency of Mr.. Monroe, after the
Government of the United States had by
solemn act declared the African slave
trade piracy, Mr.. John Quincy ADJ
ans, Secretary of State, negotiated
a treaty with the British Minister by
which, for the most efectual suppression Of
the slave trade, the right of search of yes.
sells under the American flag was yielded to
British cruisers, both in the waters of the
African coast, and those of America. I'VE
speak from memory, not having time at the
moment to refer to the documents This
treaty or convention was submitted to the
Senate of the United States for its consent
and was confirmed by that body, two
thirds, of course, consenting,) with single
amendment, to-wit, striking out the privi.
lege OF search in American waters. The
amendment not being acceeded to by Eng
land the treaty failed and from that time
to this, through various unsuccessful efforts
to adjust it, the question has remained open
One party frequently exercising the right
of visit, if not of search, and the other re-
sisting and complaining of it as an insult
and aggression, often threatening serious
misunderstanding between the two nations
until the present moment, when the coun.
sells of wisdom, humanity, and concession
have happily prevailed, and the question
has been settled unanimously, finally, and
from what we learn of the treaty, felicit.
ousIy-conferring honor on the distinguish
ed negotiators, who will receive, as they
richly deserve, the thanks and plaudits OIL
the friends of peace and humanity through
out christendOm.

We learn from unquestionable authority
that this gentleman, failing in all his efforts
to get Court Of Inquiry to make an inves
tigation OF his official administration of the
Quartermaster's Department in this city
will, about the middle of next month, pub
lish full defense against all the charges
and insinuations which have been given to
the public by the Scandal Hunting Com
mittee," and other authorities. The matter
has become one of great public interest, and
his defense will be looked for with great
deal of curiosity. In this connection it is
proper to state, that he denies, emphatically,
the use of the profane and coarse language
attributed to him in the report of the "War
Claims Commission" at st. Louis.

The Field Work at Yorktown.

A correspondent of the New York Com.
mercial Aduertiser, in relating the incidents
OF visit to the outposts OF the Union army
at Y Yorktown, says:
We passed through the woods which ex-
hibited large open space in front of the
rebel works, observed our men throwing no
earthworks, and halted behind those con-
structed for portion of the Hudson River
Artillery, which were blazing away at the
rebel deiences, about quarter of mile in
front. The practice of our guns failed to
call forth any reply from the enemy. Look
ing over the guns, the black figures OF the
rebels could be distinctly seen with the max.
ed eye walking on the parapet of the Fort.
From their extreme reserve in not replying
to the compliments of our battery, it was
supposed they would make an attempt to
capture it tonight. To prevent surprise of
this kind, our pickets are to be extended,

and they were excused for allowing the enemy

METEOROLOGICAL NoTEs FOR APRIL, 1862.
In its most important features, the month
just past did not differ very materially from
its predecessor. There was large amount of
snow on the ground at the beginning Of the
month. This disappeared very gradually,
and caused the roads to become exceedingly
bad--in fact, in worse condition than they
have been in for five years. As was gen.
orally expected, the melting of such body
of snow produced a flood in the Mississippi;
and during the past week the water has
been within two inches as high as has been
observed for many years. 1t is now slowly
subsiding, though yet preventing foot pas.
sage at the levee.
The absence of the usual spring thunder
storms is to be noted, and until this occurs
some nights Of frost may be expected.
The river was known to be open to the
Lake on the 4th, and the first boat took her
departure on the 9Th. On the 18th the first
boat through the Lake arrived, having had
very severe passage through the ice.

that arising from impure connections.
AS medical man it is the duty of every PLY

far as in his power, their bodily suffering. HUI

POTOMAC ARMY DIVIDED.

NEw YoRK, Oct 24-The correspondent
Of the Tribune writing from Bolivar flights,
23d, says more than half the army is now
under command of Maj Gen Burnside 10
addition TO his own corps, the 9th, the COM
manders oil the I'd and 18th, report to him.
The second, late Summers, is under Maj. Gen.
Couch The 18th, Banks vas assigned three
days ago TO Maj Ger. Slocum, but while all
these corps are under Burnside, the three re-
manning ones to the No tb and West Of us, the
9Th, first, and sixth, are commanded rospec-
lively by FIz John Porter, Reynolds and
Franklin, who continue to report directly TO
Gen. Mcclellan. The current belief is that
when the army Of the Potomac moves, it will
be n two bodies, one commanded by Burnside
and the other by Mcclellan, one to take the
enemy in front, the other in flank, Is probably
only an inference drawn from this arrange
ment
