 To Mai. Gen. Sheridan, New Orleans We have been advised here that prior to the as- sembling of the illegal and extinct convention elected in'64 inaamatory and insurrectionary speeches were made to a mob composed of white and colored persons. urging upon them to arm and equip themselves for the purpose of protecting and sustaining the convention in it's illegal and unauthorized proceedings intended and calculated to upturn and supersede the ex- isting State government of Louisiana which had been recognized by the Government of the United States. Further, did the mob assem- ble, and was it armed for the purpose of sustain ing tho convention in it's usurpation and revolu- tionary proceedings? Have any arms been taken from persons since the Both ult., who were supposed or known to be connected with this mob without good cause and in violation of the public peace and good order 2? Was not the assembling of this convention and the gathering of the mob for it's defense and pro- lection main cause of the riotous and unlaw- full proceedings of the civil authorities of New Orleans? Have steps been taken by the civil authorities to arrest and try any and all of those who have commit ted offenses in violation of law? Gan ample justice be meted by the civil authorities to all offenders against the law ? Will Gen. eral Sheridan please furnish me a brief reply to above inquiries with such other information as he may be in possession of? Please answer by telegraph at your earliest convent ence. +. 4s !,.

Tn. New orleans Massacre.

The President has at last allowed the publi- cation of the full correspondence between the authorities at Washington and the authorities at New Orleans, concerning the massacre of July 30, from which we extract the following ::
 NEW ORLEANS, July 26. 1866.
 PRESIDENT JOHNSON: Radical mass meet ing composed mainly of large numbers of ne- groes last night ending in Q riot. The Com mittee of Arrangements of said meeting as- >sembling tonight. Violent and incendiary speeches made negroes called to arm them selves. How bitterly denounced; speakers Field, Dostie, Hawkins, Henderson, Weir, Ward and others. Gov. Wells arrived last npiht, but sides with the Convention. Move the whole matter before Grand Jury, but im- possible to execute civil process without cer- tainty of riot. Contemplated to have the members of the Convention under process from the criminal court of this district. Is the military to interfere to prevent process of the court. dALAERr VOORHEES,, Lieut.. Gov. La.
 ALBERT J HEBRON, Atty Gen. La.
 To which the President at once replied:

Heron to call on the military to assist the civil authorities in suppreasing the Convention. ,.; .f,,ss.. ..3 <.
 On the 2d of August Gen. Sheriden having returned to the city telegraphed as follows {: i,

 The next day Gen Sheridan sent telegram from which we extract the following "Unless good judgment is, exercised; there will be e.H exodus of northern capital and Union men which will be injurious to the city and the whole country" aa-F.4 : Then came the following telegram from the President, which, as will be seen, was replied to, with a full account of the massacre, four days afterwards. l.as,., si. b44 @r...s g4, ee.. l

Trouble with Turkey.

A serious embroglio in our relations with the Di-
van has arisen as follows Sarkis Minasian who has
for many years acted the resident agent in Turkey
for the sale Of DR.. j. G. Aver &CoSmedicines driven
by the increase of his business to necessity for
room, built his warehouse in Constantinople several
stories higher after having obtained the necessary
permit from the authorities. The lmans of neigh
boring mosque which overlooked the premises de-
manded large present in money, which was refused.
They then applied to the Grand Vizier, for the en-
forcement of obsolete law, which had been diSre-
gardcd two hundred years, requiring him to take
down the building to eighteen feet which was granted,
and they commenced the work of demolition. Nina
sian then applied to the American Minister who mo-
tifedthe Sublime Porte that American property could
not thus be tried with, and that the demolition must
cease. Then commenced the usual course of Mussel-
prevarication and promises, but real redress
Finally Minister Morris informed them that if their
depredatiOns continued, he should order the U. 5.
ships of war to enter the Bosphorus, and Messrs.
Ayers medical warehouse would not be alone roof
less stroke of his pen could have laid the whole
city under the sweep Of American cannon, backed by
who not schOOled in the lessons of fear This
brought them to their senses and speedy redress.
Mnasan has now arrived in this country, to present
the case to our State Department for indemnity. At
length it is something to among the peoples Of the
earth-'I am an American citizen!"-C0LlmbtG Re-
