The innumerable conjectures as TO its OBJ

Times, whose Washington correspondent
states that the Government are anxious
to purchase a harbour in the West Indies.
It was at first hoped that the Danish Gov
eminent would sell the island Of st.
Thomas, but a message has been received
through the Atlantic cable to the effect
that it is indisposed to enter upon any
such negotiation. 1t is now believed that
the negotiations for securing possession
of the Bay Of SANTANA have been reopen
ed. This bay is situated on the north
side of San Domingo, runs inland for
forty miles, and is eight miles broad. A
treaty was made by President Pierce's
secret agent for the possession of this bay,
but it has never been carried into effect.

A decree has been issued depriving the
Infante Don Henriquez of all the grades,
offices, titles and decorations hitherto
held by that Prince.
A telegram from Madrid announces that
the state of siege-that is martial law
under which the whole Peninsula was
placed-is happily at an end. Deputies
and senators will, therefore, no longer be
liable to be transported at the.mere will
of the Dictator, and journalists are no
longer amenable to COurts-martial for
what they happen to write. This relax
alton, however, has not been accorded
without security for their future good
behaviour. The caution money required
10 be deposited for political journals is
fixed at 10000 reals (G400) /; the enSor-
ship is re-established the writers of at
ticles as we'll as the publishers of them
are to be held responsible the printers
of newspapers are to be considered and
treated as accomplices in their crimes
and, finally, every production published
without previous authorization will be
considered as clandestine, then prosecuted
as such with the utmost severity OF the
law.
The journals of Madrid contain the de-
cree on the press signed by the Queen of
Spain. The decree is preceded by a cir
cuIar of which the following is a portion;
-"Let the terrible accusations Of the
Republican and Socialist refugees after
the End of December, 1852, be borne in
mind let us not forget the thousands of
pamphlets and books published 10y eIo-
quent deputies, profound writers and
brave soldiers, against Napoleon III. Let
the reception given TO those libels by the
English, Belgian and German press, be
remembered, and even by some Spanish
journals, directed and edited, or owned
by emigrants, who now, being received
in France and other countries, make use
of the journals Of Paris, Brussels, London
and Florence, TO discredit the Govern
ment of the Queen Of Spain. Let US
read over again the demagogical procla-
nations of Irish Fenianism against the
Government Of Queen Victoria the ad-
dresses and audacious manifcStoes of
Mazzini against Victor Emmanuel the
virulent censure of which even King Leo
pold of Belgium, Of respected memory,

SUGAR DUTIES.
TCOncluded.1


Mr.. Crawford had no objection what
ever 10 offer to the changes which the
right hon. gentleman proposed. On the
contrary, they were perfectly satlsfacto-
ry to him, because they would bring the
duties more nearly to an equalization
than before-a principle for which he had
always conteuded in aud out of the House.
AS far as the effect Of these alterations
upon trade was concerned, that would de-
pend IN Il great degree upon'lhe lnterpre-
tation that might be placed upon the
termS-irSt, second, and third classes.
He would therefore ask the tight hon.
gentleman whether il was intended by
the use Of the terms first, second, and
third, and fourth classes, to depart in any
way from The mode in which thF sugars
were already known and classified for the
purposes Of the present duties. The best
feature in the change was the reduction
of the duty on the finest descriptions Of
sugars from 12s. 1Od. to 12S. There was
one point upon which he wished for an
answer. He found in the schedule two
items the second one Of lis. sd. the
third one Of lis. Sd. The drawbacks cor
responded exactly with the duties impoS-
ed. lie would ask the right hon. gentle
man what was the meaning Of the second
item of lis. sd. which he did not see in
the scale Of duties on the imported sugars.
Mr.. GladStone.-I do not wish to trou-
BILE the Committee by many observations,
but think it my duty to rise and sustain
altogether, so far as my information and
memory serve me, the statement made
by the right hon gentleman. In point
of fact, this is a proposal for which the
late Government are fully responsible,
and the right hon. gentleman, | think, in
the exercise of a very just judgment, has
approved the result of certain inquiries
for which we were responsible. There is
only one point upon which an anxious
the House should not labour under any
misunderstanding, because, iii point of
fact, it indicates and illustrates that APP
proclamation in the relations of friendly
Powers which enables them to cooperate
in proceedings for the regulation of their
mutual interest in a manper which, |
think, heretofore has been without ex-
ample. So far it may be said to be real
izing the interest of that kind of progress
which we must all desire to see realised, and
which tends so much to the benefit of
mankind. But I wish to state ever
more openly that the merit Of this propo-
sal, which / take to be a very great merit,
does not belong 10 the late Government

MoRr =

We republish elsewhere the new recon-
structiOn bill introduced by Mr.. Stevens,
and referred TO the special committee of
which he is chairman. The principal
object Of the introduction of this promo
sition at this time appears to be to notify
the country that the measure Just passed
by congress, and now under considera-
ton by the president, is not intended to
be a fnality, but that a fast as one con-
gressionai scheme Of reconstruction is
about to be executed, others are to be
brought forward TO upset all that has
been done, and compel the
work to be recommended in
other words, to delay reeonstrue-
ton Gd infnitum. 1t may be that Mr..
Stevens has begun TO be alarmed at the
vastness Of the despotic power conferred
upon the military commanders, and to
entertain apprehensionH that q contin-
gency might arise in which they NAV
turn upoR congress and push the self.
constituted dictRtors Of the legislative
branch Of the government from their
stools. To provide for this contingency,
he o to multiply the despots by
setfing over each military commander
three civil commissioners, to whom the
military shall be subordinate, and upon
whom be proposes 20 confer powers, that
under the constitution, even congressitself
is expressly forbidden to exercise. This
Is another step in the fearful revolution
now being boldly and shamelessly
wrought out in the presence .of q once
free and independent people. It's leaders
are beginning, day by day, to take more
and more rapid strides towards the ulti-
mate subversion Of our republican gov
eminent and the enslavement OF the peo-
ole. In 3 little while the machinery for
the subsection Of the northern and west
eru states will be set in motion. The
people Of the north will then, perhaps,
too late be aroused from their apathy TO
find only that the letters are already
about them.-Ndtional LateHjgenceT.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The Surratt
trial is closed so far as evidence is con-
cerned. Judge Fisher ruled on certain
points, striking out the evidence about
Jacob Thompson, also evidence relative
to ~telegraphic communication between
Washburn and Nye, also the duel letter.
He admitted the evidence relative to at
tack upon the vice-president aud Secre-
tary Seward, also that as TO the shooting
of union prisoners escaping from rebel
prisons. The defense noted exceptions
to admissions OF this evidence. After
some debate as to the course Of procedure
with the arguments, the judge ordered
them to proceed. District Attorney Car
rington consumed the balance OF the day
for prosecution, on questions OF laW, and
will take up all OF Monday on questions
Of fact. Counsel for defense viii follow.

II 10 ofofad in aHunFnfofpo ffan afroIa1 that
Gen. Thomas has consented to the re-
mOval Of Gen. Sheridan, after the Ten
nessee election next week. The state
ment must not be received as authori-
tative, as it is well known that Gen.
Thomas indorses SheridRn's course, and
it is fair to presume that he would not be
more acceptable to the president and
friends than Sheridan.

cock will probably be appointed to
relieve Gen. Sheridan.
A proclamation against fillibustering
has been prepared, but will not be issued

against Mexico are developed.
A Canada letter to the Herald says
that certain parties in Canada, who are

Lincoln was started in the south as early

who commanded a regiment in and
about Washington, had at one time
agreed to deliver the president and cabi-
net at Richmond, and would probably
have done so but for his sudden removal.
A Washington special to the Herald
says that a curious story is atloat to the
effect that Gen. Grant recently discOv-
cred that a detective was watching him,
persistently following him about, and
who reported that he had been employed
by Massachusetts politicians in Wash
ington. On being questioned by the
general, the detective said he was hunt
ing up testimony for the congressional
