W WASHINGTON, March ~.
Special 10 the Herald:
1t is understood to-day at the Treasury
Department, that deputation from for
eigu bankers had waited upon the Secre-
tary in person and offered large loan of
specie at current rates of exchange.
Burnside is still in the city awaiting
final instructions.
Special to the Tribune:
AdVices have been received here from
Cairo, indicating that the Yazoo Expedi-
tion has probably proved successful and
that Vicksburg is practically ours.
The Mexican Ministers and others well
informed with respect to the military stu
alton in his country, utterly discredit the
statement in the Richmond papers, that
The city Of Mexico had been captured by
the French.
Worlds Special:
1t is reported the rebels paroled Gen.
Stoughton and other officers captured with
him. Commissioner Ludlow however,
knows nothing of it. ,
1t is understood that the course of the
Government will probably be 10 call an
extra session of Congress Immediately on
the departure Of the next pirate from a
British port, and recommend that vessels
under British flag shall either be inter
dicted entirely from loading in American
ports, or subjected to a tonnage duty Of
about three dollars per ton.
The President and Cabinet after giving
the subject much deliberatiOn, have deei-
ded not to grant letters of marque and re-
prisal, but in their stead, it is understood
that all vessels fitted out by private par
ties for the purpose of capturing rebel
pirates, will be duly commissioned in the
navy and allowed to 60 on their mission.

The Rebels Driven Entirely Off.
REPORTED BOMBARDMENT OF
CHARLESTON.
FROM NEW YORK.

NEW 1oRK, March ~.
The Times has a Newbern letter Civ
ing a detailed account of the recent move
ments in that vicinity on the 18th
instant. In the battle of Newbern, the
rebels appeared in heavy force between the
Trent and Neuse rivers and drove in our
pickets. They were held in check by our
cavalry until General Palmer advanced
with portion of his command, when thew
fell back. On the 18th they made dem
onstration againt Fort Anderson's unfn-
ished earthWorks. They commenced q
bombardment which did no particular dam
age. They demanded its surrender, which
was refused. The enemy were command
cd by General Pettigrew. They opened
their batteries again at short range, and
after brisk cannonade, again demanded
its surrended, which was again refused.
By this time, General Foster sent for
ward reinforcements, and when the rebels
attempted an assault, they were met with
such a murderous fire from our gunboats
and tWenty-pound howitzers on shore, that
they were forced to fall back. The action
continued three hours, when the rebels
finally retired, having lost heavily in kill
81 and wounded. Our loss was but one
sinan killed and two wounded.
The following explains something of
recent matters near Port Hudson: Dis
patches from Jackson, Mississippi, dated
March 18th, reached Richmond Saturday.
st. Helena was attacked in the rear on
Monday the eighth, and that heavy firing
was heard there on the thirteenth. st.
Helena is about twenty-five miles in the
rear of Port Hudson, in an easterIy di-
rectiOn, and when we remember that
the forces of General Banks have for
some time past been moving in that
direction from Baton Rouge towards Port
Hudson by Amite river, the heavy firing
may probably be accounted for from the
fact that Port Hudson is being invested by
land and water. It is a remarkable fact in
this connection, that the Richmond Wing
of the 18th, mOurns over the reverses in
the Southwest, and it is equally remarka-
BILE, that dispatch from Port Hudson was
read in the rebel Senate the same day
which caused a lively sensation.

A Thrilling Incident.

On Thursday evening, at the great Union
meeting at Sturges Hall, Chaplain Collier.
while referring to the desertions from the
army in consequence Of the advice of Cop
perheads at home, said ttSir, the letters
our soldiers receive from certain men at
home, advocating peace measures and de-
nOuncing the war, have a worse effect upon
them than any defeat. The letters are al
ways discOuraging, and these traitors per-
sistently and continually urge the men TO
desert. Why, to-day 1 received a letter
from the Assistant Adjutant General of nv
brigade, in which he announced the arrest
Of number of men who deserted, because
Of the encouragement received from per-
sons some of whom reside in this very
city, (Mansfeld) and have their names.
And while ten Of these deserters tonight
lie in a Wretehed cell, guarded and ironed,
under sentence of death for their offense,
see before me, seated in the audience, one
Of the men who counselled them to desert"
The effect was thrilling beyond desorip-
tion. Applause and hfsses, and cries of
" Name him. "Put him out p were inter-
mingled, and for several minutes the up
roar continued. Everybody looked around
to see who the individual might be. and
whoever he was, he kept quiet and the
speaker did not name Mansfield

Foreirn Aid for rhs RehcIs.

1t is reported from Washington that the
President and Cabinet have decided not to
issue letters of marque and reprisal, but
that instead of this course those parties
who may fit out private vessels to range
the seas in search Of rebel pirates viii be
commissioned in the Federal Navy
Whether this will ensure SO energetic ac-
ton on the part of owners of swift and
staunch vessels as adopt the other course,
we somewhat doubt, but it will avoid pos
sible complications and dissatisfaction
which might follow The privateering sys-
tenn. But whatever is done must be done
quickly. We cannot afford to let the pi-
rates roam as highwaymen of the sea at
large much longer. Nor can we let foreign
nations, calling themselves neulrals, sup
ply the rebels with those pirates as fast as
ship-yards can turn them out It is
said that it is in contemplation to call
an extra session Of Congress to legislate
upon thesnbiect Of this sort of foreign in
terferenee in behalf of the rebels, and
that it will be recommended to either in
terdict English vessels from our ports, or
to lay heavy tonnage duty upon every
EHglish bottom that enters our harbors.
We do not, however anticipate any such
precipitate action as this. That our Gov
ernment should vigorously protest against
any such violations of neutrality as Eng
land is daily guilty Of, we are fully con-
WINGED, but to proceed TO more hostile acts
until such protest has been uttered, would
be too hasiy for the dignity Of the Ameri-
can nation. England has given US provo
cation enough for war, we all know, but
let the prOtest-warning, if you choose
precede any further action. We do not
owe that nation any courtesy, but let US
be magnanimous enough to show it, for
our oWn respect and that Of other nation
alities.
