New YoRK, Aug. 5.--News FROM Sessal
to July 18th, Vera Cruz oath and Mexico
42th has been received. Santa Anna is still
in prison. Nothing has been heard of Mar
quez. Foreign ministers we're nnmolested.
The press was advocating general am
nesty, but all argue that severe punishment
should be melted out to Marquee and others.
Santa Domingo dates TO July 30th state
that the popularity of President Cabral was
diminishing, owing to his opposing repre-
sentatiyes Of the people andsupporting the
ministry. Several members had resigned
and Congress was dissolved, and new cleo
tions were ordered
Latest adyices from Jamaica report con-
tinued paFalyzatiCn of trade in Kingston,
and general immunity for frauds and
robberies committed in official circles, and
in the rural districts the administration of
Colonial government, under the new system
planned in Englnnd, is unsuccessful.
Reports from Kingston to July 18th are
replete with lamentations about the new
and heavy taxation system imposed by
colonial authorities.
The Tribune's special says, the old story
of Secretary Stanton's resignation is re-
vived. This time there seems to be good
foundation for it. The Presidents contem-
plated removal of Gen. Sheridan isopposed
by Secretary Stanton and Gen. Grant. The
President stated last week that he would
remove Stanton first and then Sheridan.
Some doubt is expressed as to the Presi-
dents power to remove a Cabinet officer
under the civil tenure of-ofhcelaw. The
Presidents friends say if he cannot make
Stanton resign, that he will suspend him
until the meeting of Congress. The whole
matter has been the subject of much talk
here within the last twenty-four hours, it
not having become known until then, that
there really was a quarrel between the
President and Stanton. Gen. Grant has had
several interviews during the week with
the President and Secretary Stanton on the
proposed removal of Gen. Sheridan. 1t is
said Gen. Grant construes the reconstruc-
ton act to place on him part of the re-
sponsibility for its faithful execution by
officers under him and under his command,
and hence his opposition to Sheridan's re-
moval, and when consulted by the Presi-
dent, gave his opinion that in no one could
he place more trust than Sheridan.
The Times special says the reeommen-
dation for mercy for Mrs. Surratt, made
by members of the military commission
which tried the assassination conspirators,
has at last been unearthed, and reads as
follows:
The undersigned members of the mill
tary commission, detailed to try Mary E.
Surratt and others for the conspiracy and
the murder of Abraham Lincoln, late
President of the United States, etc, re-
spectfully pray the President in considera-
ton of the sex and age of the said Mary
E. Surratt, if he can, upon all the facts of
the case, find it consistent with his sense of
duty to the country, to commute the sen
tence of death which the court have been
constrained to pronounce, to imprison-
ment in the penitentiary for life. Re-
specially submitted.
