SUMMARY OF THE WEEK.
GeueraI InteIIigence.

Macmillan is snubbed, regardless OF the
protectorate Of Napoleon. President john
son has issued proclamation declaring the
blockade of Matamoras, and other Mexican
ports, null aud void as regards the priv
leges of American citizens, and plainly IN
timating that its enforcement will not be
permitted by the United States.
The cholera is diminishing in the eastern
cities thought it has by no means disappeared
But in the west it is increasing with great
rapidity. In St. Louis and Cincinnati 1t is
especially virulent, and is declared an cpl
demic il the former city. 1t has also ap-
peared on steamboats, sailing the Mississippi,
and many fatal cases are reported
The order Of Gen. Grant commanding the
generals of departments to send him copies
of newspapers which printed matter OPP
posed to the government, has been revoked.
No official report Of the negro outrage at
Helena, Ark, has yet been received at
Washington. Gen. Rosecrans has resigned
his place as brigadier general in the regular
army and will be succeeded by Gen. Slckles
Gen. Candy has been appointed commander
of the department of Washington.

Delegation:
DEAR SIR: l am obliged to return to New
York this afternoon, on urgent business.
The admirable spirit of harmony and con-
Citation which pervades the Convention
renders my presence unnecessary, and
leaves me no other regret than that of being
unable to witness the close Of proceedings

promise of future good.
Very truly, yours,
JOHN A. DIX.

kindness and courtesy by which you have
sustained the Chair. in the efforts to which
by your resolution yon have been pleased to
| allude, return you my sincere thanks.
Before putting the motion which shall
terminate the proceedings of this Conven-
ton, shall ask you once more to join in
| prayer with the Rev. Mr.. Elliott, invoking
the benediction of Almighty God, by whose
support we are sure Of success, but without
which we should inevitably fail
| Rev. Mr.. Elliott thereupon made an elo-
quent prayer, returning thanks to the
Almighty for the harmony and union of
hearts which had been manifested through.
out the Convention; for the spirit of con-.
ciliation, good will, and charity seen in all
its members md proceedings; for blessings;
which now crown the nation, especially for
the President of the United States, so,
worthy of his situation and position.
