THE REBEL PROPOSITION.
Col. Ludlow who was here to-day, expresses tho
opinion tha, he opposition which Mr. Stephens, tho
Rebel Vice-President was anxious to have leave 10
bring in person TO Washington was a proposition
for an armstice. Upon what specified grounds
COL Ludlow bases this supposion We are not in-
formed, but he says that Stephens and his Commis-
soners were greatly chagrned at the refusal Of their
request.
II ey were in high feather, fun of confidence that

The country will not know in how many instances
rs honor has been saved from unnecessary conces.
sions TO foreign Powers by the hrmucss of Secretary
Wel!es uull. the history Of the war shall have been
written from official records In nj least Two of
these instances Mr. Welles has been more successful
ia combating the views Of the State Department
han he was in the Peerhoi! case.
The French Minister, the burden Of many OF
whose dispatches, AS the Yellow Book shows, con-
cerned tie tobacco owned by the French Govern-
ment and stored at Richmond, requested permssioH
to chip on board vessels 10 sail direct from no
Rebel capal; the blockade 10 be raised al thas
point for the purpose.
Secretary Seward WAS willing TO grant the favor
asked but was obliged 10 refer the 10 Secretary
W.Ues who's, answer was TO tho effect that the
United States had opened the ports in Virginia aud
North Carolina, from which the French Govern
ment could export its tobacco ii it desired, and tbst
the United States would not agree to interfere
with its transit to Alexandria or to Bufors
for the purpose Of shipment to France. He added
that /. was asking too much of our Government to
require it TO raise blockade when nothing but the
obstinacy Of the Rebels prevented the shipment OF
tobacco. To this reply NJ. MERCER had no answerto
make. To the Spanish Minister Secretary Seward
was willing to make a concession which Secretary
Wcles steadily refused.
The Spanish Government proposed to modify the
law OF nations 20 Us to forbid bsIgsrsnM from sxss.
