NEW YORK, June 8.
A special to the Herald, dated Washing
ton 7th, says a formal demand has been
made upon the Spanish government for
the surrender of the rebel ram Stonewall.
OF course no answer has yet been received
as the matter goes to Madrid for decision.
notwithstanding the limitations of the
BIRTHS Press it is not the intention of our
Government to abandon. or in any wise
abate the demand upon England for dam
ages to our commerce by the Anglo Rebel
pirates. The disbsndi1g of a portion of
our armies is no evidence of q cowsrdly
policy. Enough will be retained to enforce
any demands upon foreign GoVsrnments
and if necessary, the veterans mustered
out can easily be summoned back to the
field. It is understood that preliminary
measures have already been taken in ref
erence to the enforcement of the Monroe
doctrine, and notification served upon
Napoleon that since we have settled our
own affairs We will not submit TO European
interference with those of eur sick neigh
Dor, Mexico, and very PLAIN intimstion
has been given that Napoleon must not
only send no more troops into Mexico but
must withdraw the troops now there, and
leave the people of Mexico to decide for
themselves whether they will have an En-
pire or q republic. Otherwise it will be
our duty to see that the Republicans have
fair play. -...-.. -.-..
An application has been made By Cy-
rus W. Field to the Secretary of the Navy
for the detail of the United States steamer
Niagara to assist in laying the Atlantic
Gable. As no official notification of the
resembling of the order that vessels of War
Of the United States shall not be permit.
ted to remain more than twenty four hours
in any British port, the request cannot be
acceded to. .f e.
The published informstion of the repeal
of the order excluding vessels from more
than tweniy-fonr hours stay in British
ports comedies belligerent rights to the
rebels yet, and admits the Shenandoah
to equsl privileges with United States
vessels. .-.....
1t is not now probable that the trial of
jeff Davis will take place nHtiI Septem-
ber The Supreme Court of the District
of Columbia, in which the Indictment was
found, will adjourn 10 morrow, and there

were st the White House again today.
Messrs. Davis, Bradley and Blbb are Asso-
ciated, by loyal Alsbsmians, with rebels
of the most malignant type, who are now,
that the rebellion is suppressed, endeaVor-
ing to get control of tne reconstruction
movement, Messrs. Moore, Parsons and
Bibbs, have been regarded as favorable to
the Union, but open to suspicion for their
associations with the seces, ion element
in this delegation When they came here
their intention was to recommend Colonel
Ssybrald, q rank rebel, for Provisional
! Governor, but this idea was abandoned af-
ter they reached here, and they now recon
| mend Mr.. Parsons. He is opposed by the
loyal men of Alabama, who have recon-
mended VIM. Il. Smith, Union man, who
was forcet to abandon the State in 1857, on
account of his Union sentiments. aa
| Mr.. Smith has always been an active
promoter of the Union cause, and was IN
strumental iarBiaing the first cavalry reg
iment, which has rendered good servie'
during the war.
Should the delegation now here succeeC
in obtaining eonLrol of 1.-The StSte, tn
fighting loyal citizens say that it viii no
be safe for them to return to the State
Alabama. lssT1 sa
