same as in England, and the DISPOSE
ton is very fair and just -
During tho general debate several
i speakers charged the government with
q trucking policy towards the Ameri-
can government. Lord Palmerston
said it was due to tho American gov
eminent to say that they invariably
received England's representations in
a Esprit of equity and justice. He
quoted the Trent case as evidence of a
desire to do right 1t was prejudicial
to good understanding between Pow
ers to accuse foreign government of
acts of which they are not guilty, and
express distrust of their equity when
nothing justifsd such charges. The
resolution was Withdrawn.
A questionable report was afoat
that two first class English houses
who have suffered by rebel cruisers
are about to dispatch one of the fast
est steamers afoat in pursuit of pi-
rates. 1t is suggested this may be
another rebel dodge.
It is confirmed that England has
proposed an armistice on the basis Of
the evacuation Of all Schleswig except
Alsen, by the Danes.
Russia, France and Sweden sup
port the proposition. 1t is stated
Austria assents. The result is not
known.
Nothing but nero skirmishes are
reported from the seat Of war. Tho

foroemonts and making preparations
against Alsen.
The Prusians occupied Altoona in
spite of federal protests.
Mazzina is indicted as an accom-
plice in the late plot against Napoleon
1t is asserted that Italy is arming.
The London Times has an article on
the parliamentary debates upon the
seizure by the Federals of certain
British ships. 1t treats the alleged
murder on board tho Saxon as most
serious case, and says any negligence
in urging and demanding punishment
of the crime will be an abandonment
of the position which q state owes to
its subjects.
1t is stated Prussia has reused the
armistice proposed by the great Pow
ers.

NEW York, Feb. 20.
The principal arrangement proposed
to the national Comptroller of the
currency, requires National Banks to
redeem their circulating notes in the
city of New York, at a small discount
and fixes tho uniform rate at 7 per
cent interest, throughout the United
States; reduces the lawful money re-
serve to be kept on hand from twen-
ty-five to fifteen per cent for country
banks, and from twenty-five to twenty
per cent. for city banks; makes pro-
vision for the security of Banks when
ever the owners of two-thirds Of the
capital demand it: requires at least
100000 capital for banks in the

one-third of the capital stock paid up
to be kept on deposit with the Treas

will be brought up in the House, as
it can be done there by a two-third' 8

quired to take it up out Of its course.
1t appears that, Notwithstanding
the action Of Mr.. Stevens reccommend-
ing adverse.to the passage of the bill,
four Of the most influential members
of the committee are earnestly in ia
vor of the measure. 1t will probably
be amended so as to requie the sale
of surplus gold to be made in opon
market, but without any restrictions
requiring previous notice, and sale
to the highest bidder. The ultimate
passage Of the bill is regarded beyond

The Gazette has news from rebel
sources, from 18th to 22d. The At
lante Appeal says. Sherman's purpose
is still mysterious, as to whether he
will move against Mobile or turn
eastward. Sherman's sudden and un.
expected activity in moving against
our weakest point in Mississippi, the
Egypt of the Confederacy, where il
not elected, he can subsist till spring,
and do more damage than winning
pitched battles. He is making wal
on our subsistence and resources
which to destroy is to defeat us.-
