W AShlNGION, August Lille lOllOWlng
has been issued by the President of the
United States Of America:
A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS, A war is existing in the Re
public of Mexico aggravated by foreign
military Intervention; and whereas the
United States, in accordance with their set
tied habits and p Icy, are a neutral power
in regard to the war which thus afiiicts the
Republic of Mexico and whereas, it has be-
come known that one Of the belligerents in
the said war, viz, the Prince MAMMALIAN,
who asserts himself to be Emperor in Next
co, has issued decree in regard to the port
Of Matamoras and other Mexican ports
which are in the occupation of another of
said belligerents, viz, the United States of
Mexico, which decree is in the following
words:
The port of Matamoras, and all those of
the Northern frontier which have Withdrawn
from the obedience to the Government, are
closed to foreign and coasting traffic during
such time as the empire of the law shall not
be therein reinstated.
Article ID. Merchandise proceeding
from said ports, on arriving at any other
where the excise of the empire is collected.
shall pay the duties on importation, intro
duction, and consumption, and on satisfacto-
~ proof Of conformation shall be irremis-
sibly confscated Our Minister of the
Treasury is charged with the punctual exc
cution Of this decree, given at Mexico, this
9th day of July, 1866; and whereas, the de-
cree thus recites, by declaring a belligerant
blockade unsupported by competent military
or naval force is in violation of the neutral
rights of the United States, as defined by
the law Of nations, as well as of the treaties
existing between the United States of Ameri-
ca and the aforesaid United States of
| Mexico"
Now, therefore, |, ANDREW JOHNSON,
President of the United States, do hereby
proclaim and declare that the aforesaid de-
cree is held and will be held by the United
States to be absolutely null and void, as
against the Government and citizens of the
United States, and that any attempt which
shall be made to enforce the same against
the Government or citizens of the United
States will be disalloWed.
In witness whereof / have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed
Done at the city of Washington, the
seventeenth day of August, in the year of
our Lord one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-six, and Of the Independence of the
United States of America the ninety-frst.

OUR PHILADELPHIA CORRESPOND.
ENCE.

Our special correspondent at the Phila-
delphia Convention sends us most admira-
bic report Of the proceedings Of that body
on the 18th, including a photographic re-
port Of Senator DooLUrLE's speech on
taking the chair as President 1t does not
materially vary from the Geographic report
already published. He also furnishes us all
the other transactions, which were substan-
TALLY anticipated by telegraph. or the
body itself and the throng of spectators he
says;
"Tho gathering at the wigwam to-day was
larger than yesterday. Not less than twelve
thousand were present The enthusiasm
was intense. Members Of the Convention
who have been in public service for many
years, say they never witnessed ANYTHING
equal 70 il, Harmony prevails throughout.
There is not a delegate here who will not
sacrifice any personal desire for the sake Of
the success Of the cause. The Radical lead
ers in this city have skulked to their holes.
Philadelphians say they have deserted their
accustomed haunts. Having appealed 10
the roughs and the negroes 70 raise mob
and tear down the wigwam, and failed in
thls-the negroes saying that If they should
thus be led into trouble, the Radicals would
fail 10 back them up-they have retired
from the scene. The manliness and frank
ness Of the Southern delegates, their dignity
and patriotism, have created a profound i'm.
preston upon all with whom they have
come in contact The action Of VAl1AN-
DIoHAM and WooD is esteemed as most
worthy aud honorable.
The Convention is great event for the
Union, for the Constitution, and for the
continuation Of peace and popular liberty in
America"

New York, August 17.-By the China's
mails we have the following additional in
teresting particulars from the seat of war
The furthest point occupied by the Prus-
SLAMS on August 2dwere Wurseburg and Bay
reuth, respectively the capitals Of Eastern
and Western Mansonen; both were taken on
the 2Sth. The former after a number of
small but sanguinary engagements, in the
course Of which the Federals were slowly
bit steadily driven back from Wertlein, in
Northeastern Baden, to Rottenbrith, in
Northwestern Bavaria.
The Prussia correspondent of the London
Times says.
The great desire of marching into the
Austrian capital has melted away under the
genial influence of certain peace, and there
has sprung up instead a feeling of satisfac-
ton that it was net necessary to humiiate
Austria so far of sudden. All the affec-
ton for their old comrades of the Danish
war which has lain latent in the hearts of
the Prussian soldiers during the campaign,
has again burst forth into life, and there is
prevalent in this army almost kindly pity
for the misfOrtunes of those who but yester-
day were regarded as deadly enemies.
A Vienna correspondent of the London
Times says the city is in a state of revolt,
and that the inhabitants are suffering from
want of food, as no supply can be obtained
from the North On account of the presence
of the Prusgian troops, and the other rail-
ways have been taken up with military
transportation, so that they cannot bring
provisions into the capital.
The cholera prevails in some detach-
ments of the Prussian army in Bohemia
The Paris Temps says that Gen. KLAPKA,
setting out from the extreme south of Prus-
sian Silesia at the head OF number of vol
unteers, is said to have appeared on the
northern frontier of Hungary at the entrance
of the valley Of the Woag, a river which
runs North and South and Joins the Dan
ube at Comorn. Two Vienna papers, the
Presse and the Wanderer, declare that this
invasion has completely failed,
and that the companions of the Hungarian
leader have abandoned him in order to re-
join their respective regiments; that the
people everywhere turned deaf ear to the
appeals, and that KLAPKA
had been compelled to return to Oderburg,
the point he set out from.
DIR. RUSSELL writes a letter to the Times
the battle of Sodawa. BENEDEK
per ceived before the battle was fought that
his army was not what it ought to be. 1t
stands recorded as a solid and regular fact,
that when he fought that battle he believed
he would be beaten. Two days before the !
battle Of konniggratz the Commander-in- !
Chief sent a message tc the Emperor which |
must have shaken his very throne "Sire |
you must make peace"

GALVESTON, Texas, August 16, via JACK

the city Of Matamoras on the 18th inst, re-
sultng in the overthrow of the government

The General commanding escaped and is
in Brownsville. Gen. LEW. WALLACE, and
other citizens of the United States, who were
at CARAvAJAL's headquarters, are also at
Brownsville. The movement was general
and purely political. There was no opposi-

FAILURE OF errors IN GEORGIA.

Owing to the long continued drouth, the
crops in the whole section known as North
en Georgia are likely to prove an entire
failure Parties who have travelled through
the country from Chattanooga to Dalton and
below that point report the corn crop as
completely destroyed by the dry weather, no
rain having fallen in that section for nearly
two months. Below Dalton there has been
some rain, but not enough TO effect much
good.
A privaie letter 10 US from Atlanta, states
that ieven prevails there to considerable
extent caused doubtless by the drought, no
rain having fallen there for over two months.
The forest trees are drying vegetables are
becoming scarce, aud fruit Is dying on the

uphill business. This Commissioner is now
discussing the feasibility of a plan recon-
mended by the Postmaster General, for the
sending Of paymasters into each Congress
sional district, and there distribute to each
claimant the specified bounty. This propo-
sition meets with warm opposition, as the
inability Of every soldier to correctly pre-
pare his record Of papers and the necessary
expense of bringing two witnesses from a
distance to testify before the paymaster, Will
lay the soldier liable TO a class Of swindler
so numerous during the days of substitute.
