The Posts special Washington dispatch says
Messrs. Brettaneau and Rondoonez, the dele
CATION appointed by the colored freemen OF
Louisiana to wait upon the President, present.
ed their memorial last evening, asking that
the colored people in Louisiana who were free
before the rebellion, may be permitted to vote
In the State.
The President received the deputation cor
daily, and replied that the impression had
gone abroad that he was acting irresponsibly
in the elections in the rebel States; but it was
wrong. He must finish the big job on his
hands of crushing the rebellion; and if in :
ing that it became necessary to prevent rebels
from voting, he should do SO; if the recogni-
ton of black men as having a right to vote
was necessary to close the war, he would not
hesitate. He saw no reason why intelligent
black men should not vote. But this was not
military question, and he would refer it to
the Constitutional Convention in Louisiana
The supplemental tax bill will be up before
the Ways and Means Committee on Monday.
A new bill in reference to whiskey will be re-
ported from this committee, imposing tax on
liquors after the LIST of January next.

NEW YORK, March 4.
1t is stated that consul has arrived in this
city with authority from the Imperial Regency
of Mexico, to act as its commercial agent. In
this case 10 exequator will be required from
our government, nor is it necessary to obtain
one.
A Norfolk letter Of the I'd says: s"Yester-
day a Lieutenant and fifteen men of the 9TH
Pennsylvania cavalry, while on reconnoiter-
ing expedition, were captured by the rebels in
the Dismal Swamp, and the maneuvres OF
the rebels mean something, though they may
be intended as feints.
1t is not likely that they viii attempt dash
on Norfolk. Gen. Butler is fully prepared for
any movement which they may design.
Several gentlemen who started this morning
for Roanoke Island by the way of the Chesa-
peake and Albemarle Canal, have just return
ed, and report the canal infested with rebels
in large numbers.
A bearer of dispatches was fired upon four
times this morning, but managed to escape
unhurt.
