GEN. sToSENAN.

| ately to assume command in New Orleans

FOREIGN NEWS.
A Berlin dispatch of July p, reports:
Peace will probably be concluded very
shortly. The future position of those
Princes who have been forced by recent
events to quit their dOminiops must be re-
| served for special arrangement between
| them and the King of Prussia, and for the
| approval of a German Parliament, as the
countries occupied by the Prussians cannot
all be treated alike. The mediatory efforts
of the Grand Duke of Baden in relation to
/ Southern Germany, will probably meet
with a speedy and favorable result.

Gen. Stanhe--y' - aPFei1te5 TO discnafge
the duties of Secretary of State during the
absence of Mr.. Seward
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has decided that the act of March Sd, 1865,
/ amended July 18th, 1866, imposing tax of
| 10 per cent upon banks and banking as
| sociations for paying out the notes of said
banks, does not apply to private banks
doing business without charter. If, how
ever, private banker receives and pays
oHt the notes of State banks as agent Of a
National banking association, State bank
/ or banking association, this statute of liza
bility IS credited.
MISCELLANEOUS APPROPRIATION BILL.
Considerable excitement was manifested
| to-day among the clerks in the various de-
partments in consequence of the impression,
| which became general, that through a eler-
ieal error a clause which originally appeared
in the miscellaneous appropriation bill,
giving to the employees of the government
here an increase Of 20 per cent. on their sal
aries was subsequently striken out in COM
mittee of conference, and that the bill has
become a law without that clause. No Of
fetal opinion has been given by the After
ney General on the subject, and many are
disposed to believe it; and from reliable
sources Of information it seems certain that
the additional pay feature does not appear
in the manuscript copy of the law now at
the State Department.
