THE BOGUS PROCLAMATION.

The infamy Of the bogus proclamation pub
lished In the New York World and Journal Of
Commerce yesterday having been imposed on
them by parties In this city, al Is supposed
will be best understood when It 10 remembered
that Il was put forth on the day OF sailing OF
the Liverpool steamers. The perpetrators OF
the hoax had two objects In view In pecuniary
way, viEi To raise the price Of gold In New
York and the Confederate loan IN London. II
will be observed from Its hrsseology--clumsy
Imitation as II 10 Of the President's stJle Of
proclaim atious-that its tone 10 such aS would
indicate hopeless condition Of our Affairs in
regard to the rebellion.
The idea Of calling fora fast day and four
hundred thousand troops In the same procla-
nation Is clumsy enough; but the two things
we're included In the paper for the two markets.
Tho fast day was for London, and the dram for
New York. The dependency that rendered q
day Of humiliation and supplicatlon proper
would strengthen the confederate loan, and
early dispatches Ln the arrival OF the steamer
would secure q harvest In the rise Of the stock
in the European capitals. Tho dram for four
hun dred thousand men would send up gold In
the New York market. The gold speculation
was accomplished, but the rebel loan specula-
tion will be failure, as Mr.. Seward has sent
abroad his emphatic exposure Of the hoax.
We give below a copy OF the document:
