The HeraLFs Washington correspondent

mors. The correspondents states that q
member of JEFF. Davis Cabinet had made
direct proposition to, or inquiry Of Mr..

effect that if the rebel Government were
willing to give up the contest, would the
United States forego emancipation, eonfs-
cstion, &c, and allow them todispose of their
cotton and leave the country for Mexico,
with the understanding that no obsts cles
should be placed in the way Of the private
soldiers of the Southern army, at least all
who may desire 70 follow their leaders into
that country. If that would be consented
to they would bind themselves to drive the
French, under Msximillian, out of Mexico,
secure full control ofthe Government and,
if necessary, pledgeits ultimate connection
to the United States.

koAN hAAClbCOl JaAs ~
The Democratic Press, the Democratic
paper of this city, which is likely to be
well acquainted with the views of Mr..
Gwin and his friends in this city, who are
numerous, here publishes the following
statement:
We hsve refrained from indulging in
speculation or expressing any opinion in
regard to the many reports and rumors re-
lsting to the position and design Of Mr..
Gwin in Mexico, until we could give the
exact facts, and mdisputsbly vouch for
them. This we are now prepared to do.
By information received from Barclay
Henly, an accredited agent of DR.. Gwin,
under the protection Of the Emperor of
Mexico, Maximillian, has conveyed trust
deed to the Emperor Louis Napoleon,
of Sonora, Senatolis, and other Northern
States of Mexico, the boundaries of which
have not yet been determined upon, to be
held and governed by the latter, under
Mexican protection, as security for the
payment of the claim of France against
Mexico.
DIR. Gwin is Governor General or Vice
Secretary of the Emperor to the French,
and is invested with plensry powers for
the government of the States which have
ceded and disposed of the public lands
and mines.
DR.. Gwin has drawn up code of laws,
which have been approved by the Emperor
of the French, of the most liberal kind,
guaranteeing civil and religious liberty,
and providing for the pre-emption pur-
chase of the public lands, and regulating
the terms of occupation aud the use Of the
mines.
The Emperor of the French guarantees
military force. under the direction of the
Governor General sufficient to maintain
the public peace and defend the people of
States against internal and external force.
The policy of DR.. GWin, which has the
approval of both Emperors, is to encourage
emigration from the American States by
offering liberal terms to settlers in order
to bring intelligent industry, energy and
enterprise to the development of the well
known resources of that region so highly
favored by the natural advantages of soil,
climate and mineral wealth, and 70 form
an enlightened and substantial population
which will assure permBnency and securi-
ty, and give strength and power to defend
the States from fllibustering expeditions,
which the unRppropristed riches and the
semi-barbarous condition of the people
have hitherto invited,
Mr.. Henly Is associated with Major J.
g. Rodgers and both will act as agents of
DR.. Gwin. They are here for inviting
emigration to that region.
Since the marked decline in gold at
New York and the corresponding decline
of prices, the value of merchandise here
has proportionately advanced and the
tendency is still upward, confidence being
strong as to the future of our markets.
The mining and agricultural prospects
in California, Oregon and Nevada promise
increased yields.
The United States Revenue Collector
has seized large quantity of tobacco and
| cigars for evasion of the excise law.
The British Columbia and Vancouver
Island journals are sgitsting the subject
of forming union between these two
