News from New York.

| NEW 1ORh, July Ill u0 uOiuihS pa
pers contain the following special des
patches from Washington:
The Presidents forthcoming veto ol
| the Freedmen's Bureau bill is said to
have been discussed in Cabinet session
to-day. Secretary Harlan took deci-
| ded stand in favor of the bill, and was
partly backed by Secretary Seward on
| the score of expediency. Secretary
Seward seems to be Indifferent to its
| merits, but fears the effect of so many
vetoes.
Several important changes and i'm.
provements are being made in the office
of the Executive Mansion. 1t will be
re-papered, painted, and used for the
| Presidents Office. His present one will
be for the Private Secretary the one
north of it for the aids, and the one at
present used by them will be the future
| ante-room.
The bill to extend the Capitol grounds,
| which passed the Senate today, pro-
vides that the grounds shall embrace
forty.one acres The estimated cost OF
the additional grounds was, in 1861,
about $290,OO0.
Sixteen thousand four hundred and
thirty-two acres were entered by actual
settlement in juno at the Winnebag0
city land office, Minnesota The survey
of the Minnesota Valley Railroad has
been completed.
The nomination of Hon. Henry Stan.
berry as Advocate Judge OF the United
States Supreme Court was today effect
ually disposed of by the action of the
Senate in the passage of the House bill
to reorganize the Judiciary. The bill
reduces the number now on the bench,
and provides for q further reduction to
six judges. ;,
1t is not probable that l.. d. Campbell,
Minister to Mexico, will receive his in
structions from the State Department
and orders to depart for that Republic,
until the Mexican court shall have oh
tanned something like permanent res
idence.
The Times Baltimore despatch says:
A Baltimore house of the highest respec.
liability is stated to have received by the
steamer Cuba a semi-official communica,
tion denying the news of an insurrection
at Peurto Principe, and treating the
whole affair as being substantially a
canard.
The news of the uprising of blacks as
| we'll as the arrival of Chilian fleet with
two thousand men is also pronounced
to be false by the same party who, wrl-
ting about it, attributes the rumors OF
an insurrection to the gathering of few
| hundred Cubans upon one of the squares
of Puerto Principe for the purpose of
protesting against the present cabinet
and of associating themselves in feeling
with the revolutionists of Spain, headed
by General Prein and other Demo Gratis
of the same stamp.
The Worlds Washington special says:
| The President was well enough to-day to
be present at the regular Cabinet meet
] ing.
Quite contest is understood to have
arisen over the conflict opinion between
Stanton and the President, relative to
| the construction of what is known as
| the peace proclamation. Stanton claims
| that the writ of habeas corpus is still
suspended in South Carolina, and that
civilians held under sentence by General
Sickles' court martial should not be
turned over to the civil authorities.
The Worlds Charleston special says:
General Sickles, on authority from
Headquarters, has declined to be ar,
rested on the writ of attachment recent
ly issued by Judge Bryan, for contempt
of court, in refusing to obey the writ OF
habeas corpus, in the Slower case. AL
proceedings on the motion have been re
| ferred to President Johnson.
The Commercials special says: Gen
eral Rousseau will doubtless be expelled
from the House tomorrow.
The Herald's Ottawa dispatch says
There was an excited session of the
Canadian Parliament yesterday. The
Opposition assailed the Government with
great force and effect, and the project oi
annexation to the United States seems
to gain favor.
