TIE WASHINGTON CABINET, THINKING THE con-
FEDERACY sUBJuGATED, is CONSIDERING
PEACE-MR. SEWARD WISHES TO OFFER AN
AMNESTY TO THE sBUJUGATED coNFEDERATEs
Among the richest kilograms from Wash
ington that we find in the New York Herald
is one dated on the 10Th inst Since the news
from New York we rather think that an am
nesty to the "rebels" in that city had better
first be disposed of. The correspondent SAYS !:
am enabled positively to announce that the
question of peace has already bcen considered
in Cabinet circles. More than that, we are ac-
tually in the midst of a Cabinet crisis, growing
out of a proposition made by Mr. Seward for
issuance Of a Presidential proclamation offer
ing an amnesty in the people of the South,
withdrawing the emancipation, suspending the
liabilities of the confscaticn act, and offering,
in short, full and free pardon and protection iu
their personal and property rights to the peo-
pie OF the South, only excepting the military
and civ; leaders in this great rebellion Even
these Mr.. Seward suggests should be allowed
their property, but not to be eligible to hold
office under the Government. This proposition
has been considered in Cabinet council so far
informal; but it has developed two parties.
Mr.. Bates and Montgomery Blair favor it
with certain notifications, while Messrs. Stan
ton and Chase violently oppose it. Mr.. Wellcs
is supposed also to be opposed toi it. Mr. Usher,
who always votes with the President, will de-
eide whichever way that fnnctionary does
The President has as yet expressed no opioion
on this subject; but his speech at the screnadc
would seem to indicate that he is in favor of
trying to make good his promise to free the
slaves before conscnting to peace in the pres
ent emergency.
There are number of leading Republicans
now in this city, and the matter has been
brought to their notice. They have arranged
programme, which will be submitted to the
President to-day or tomorrow, under which
they arc willing that peace should be declared
and the Uuion restored. 1t embraces the fol-
lowing points, which it is stated, wercsuggested
by Mr.. Chase
Erst--Savcry shah cease in the whole Uni
ted States after the year 1876, the minors at
that time to remain slaves until twentv-one
years of age, and slaves over forty years old to
have the option of their freedom or to remain
with their masters Provision is made for the
loyal slave States receiving compensation for
their manumitted negros, but no compensation
will be allowed to the rebel States
Second-A convention shall be called to re.
wise the Constitution of the United States, with
a view to striking out the threc-ftths provision
recognizing slavery as a basis of representative
population, and providing for the emancipation

of the slaves in accordance with the above pro-
grammc.
Such is the scheme Of the Republicans, and
if Mr.. Lincoln will consent to it, and the South
is willing, we may have peace within two
months. Mr.. Stewards proposition is being
vehcmenty denounced in Republican circles.
He is called traitor. Stanton insists that the
rebels must be driven to the wall; that no prop
osition shall be made to them; that, as they
opened the fight first at Sumter, so they must
consent to make the first tenders of peace; that
it would be humating after two and a half
years of war, If the United States should en-
deavor to open peaceful relations with armed
insurgents. He insists upon war to the bitter
end, and is backed by the violent Abolitionists
anG the enormous contracting interests,
which o. course do not wish to see the great
source of their profits swept away. This last
party will exercise a most powerful influence
upon the deliberations on this subject They
are all powerful here in all the departments,
especially in the Navy, and War, and Treasury
departments. Hence it is supposed that Mr..
Welles, Mr. Stanton. and Mr.. Chase can be
relied upon for the strongest opposition to all
means looking towards All early peace.

Bowen, the bearer of Pembertons letter, was
received by Gen. A. G, Smith. He expressed
and accordingly Grant, while declining this, re-
quested Gen. Smith to say that if Sen. Pember-

granted between the lines in McPhcrson's front,

might appoint.
A message was soon sent back to Smith, ap-

NEv YORK, April s. From various cores
pondents, the following additional facts are
cleaned relative to Gen. Fosters position at
Washington, n. q. On the Both ult., about
10 900 rebels under Hill and Pettigrew were on
the North side of the town and seven regiments
IN the South bank of the Pamlieo river.
A small lighter had succeeded in reaching
Gen. Foster with supply of ammunition, the
daring feat having been accomplished by MIR
Gilbert.
Hill was notified by Gen. Foster to remove
all the women and children, as he intended to
shell the town but up to the I'd inst, it had
not been done, as our gunboats had kept the
rebel batteries fully engaged
On the 5th, more gunboats had arrived, and
others with and l0-lnch guns were expected
on the 5th.

ter has over 1000 troops.
A Newbern letter dated the third inst, 10
o'clock p NJ, states that the gunboats have
arrived at the mouth of Tar river, and 1t is
thought they will succeed in demollshIng the
rebel batteries.
Gems Palmer and Prince have taken such
steps as will lead to the removal of all fears Tor
the safety of Gen. Foster. The rebels are re-
ported to have 5000 men on the road between
Newbern and Washington.
