The Rebel Application Rejected BY tho
Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, July 6-Evening
In reference to the application Of Mr.. Alex
ander ii. Stephens and Commissioner Ould, to
,be permitted to proceed TO Washington in the
son letter from JEFF Davis to Presi-
dent Lincoln, ii was decided to-day that
rfhe application could not be granted, and Ad-
trniral Lee was instructed to notify them that,
should the application be renewed, the ordinary
channels would suffice for the transmission OF
any communications they might desire to make.

His Trip Down the James River
in the Rebel Gun

Admiral Lee Declines to Re-

Meeting OF the Cabinet on the
Subject,
&e., &s.s ks.
WASHINGTON, July 6, 1868.

WASHINGTON, July ., 1903.
The following facts have been obtained from
a source which guarantees their correctness,
and the statement may be relied upon as strictly
true.
On Saturday, the 4th inst, the rebel gunboat
Dragon came down the James river with flag
of truce. Acting Rear Admiral Lee sent up an
officer to meet it, when it was ascertained
that Alexander Ii. Stephens and Commissioner
Ould were on board. They represented that
they were the bearers Of an important letter
from Jefferson Davis, Commanderin-Chief of
the Army and Navy of the Confede-
rate States, to Abraham Lincoln Com
mander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy
Of the United States, and requested
permission to proceed to Washington in the
Dragon and present the letter to President
Lincoln in person. They declined to reveal any
thing further in relation to their mission than is
above stated. Admiral Lee, of course, had no
authority to grant their request, and they con-
scented to wait until he could communicate with
Washington and receive instructions in re-
gard to the matter. He accordingly tele-
graphed the facts and requested instructions.
This morning special Cabinet meeting was
called to consider the matter. The granting of
the request involved many delicate and i'm
portant questions, as such a proceeding might
be construed into an acknowledgment of the
nationality OF the pretended Confederate gov
ernment and, after all, the matter might be
some comparatively unimportant affair, such as
the employment of negro troops, &c.
No decision was arrived at, and the Cabinet
meeting was accordingly adjourned until to-
morrow, aud Admiral Lee was instructed to
ascertain if possible the object of the mission.
In the meantime, however, the tug containing
the rebel ambassadors had turned about and
steamed up the river, without any parting salu-
tation or explanation and thus ended the mis-
sion.
A gentleman just arrived from Richmond,
who left the day before yesterday, says great
CONSERVATION prevails there. The defences are
occupied chiefly by armed citizens, and fears
are entertained that Lee will be cut Off and
Richmond captured before an army can be con-
centrated there.

1hsse views may hayc induced Gen Lee 70 move upon
