have been brought against the Depart
ment within a few days relative to the
over-issues of bonds and currency, and
in which he also declares that the state
ments of the public debt as assigned by
him on the first Of every month, are
authentic. The report Of the Committee
who have made complete examination of
this Department viii be made public In
a few days, in reply to the food Of in
quiries which have been made.
Some months ago the Department Of
State commenced negotiations for
treaty with Juarez, President Of Mexico,
by which all citizens o. the United
States residing IN Mexico are to be eX-
empted from all forced loans or military
exactions or acquisitions. But little
progress has been made in the matter,
owing to the virtual end Of the war in
Mexico. Americans resident in the city
of Mexico write that this interposition
In their behalf comes altogether too late
that many OF them by submitting to
forced loans have been utterly ruined.
There has been considerable talk Of
the supercedure of Gen. Pope by Gen.
Hancock, but while it is well known
that the question has been under cOnsid-
Grafton by the Administration, nothing
definite enough has resulted to warrant
a statement even that it is probable.
The next remove will doubtless be that
Of Gen. Howard, who will be mustered
out as Major General Of Volunteers. An
order has already been issued mastering
out Gen. Whittlesey, one of the promi-
nent officers of the Freedmen's Bureau.
OFFICIAL CoRREsPoNDENCE.-The fol-
lowing spicy diplomatic correspondence,
relating to ex-Minister Campbell's sud
den retirement from the Mexican mis-
sion is just made public. The first is
the following telegram;
"WAsHINGToN, June Is, 1861
Le,cis D. Campbell, Nc,c Orleans:
1t is important that the Minister to
Mexico should proceed at once. Your
resignation will therefore be accepted,
with thanks for your services and regret
for your retirement. Communicate by
telegraph.
WIN. H. SEWARD"
The following is Campbells reply by
telegraph;
New ORLEANS, June 16, 1866.
To Secretary Se,Dard'
In pursuance of telegram Of yesterday
/ now formally resign my position as
Envoy, etc, etc, of the United States to
the Republic of Mexico. | should do
injustice to my own feelings not to avail
myself of the occasion to say that my
appointment and confirmation excited
my grateful sensibilities and that the
compliment was more highly appreci-
ated because when the nomination was
made you knew did not desire it. 1t
is gratifying to me also to know that
| during the entire career Of this moving
and somewhat anomalous legation your
| instructions were al ways strictly Obeyed
| and that all my official acts have been
approved and some of them highly com
mended by the Department of State
And permit me to add that tits not fully
understood why, upon such record, the
| Government recently declined to furnish
the slightest facility for going over with
it's own glorious flag directly to The
shores of a struggling sister republic
and has required me to furnish my owl
conveyance to Havana, now sOrely
afflicted by scOurging epidemics, ant
thence proceed on my mission to Neri
Cfuz-a point Of doubtful aCCess-un
der the protection of the ensigns 0
England or France-both enemies o
republicanism, and responsible to som
extent for the misfortunes Of Mexico
and neither friends to the United State
during our late terrible struggle for ma
tional existence. The primary object Q
this requirement would seem to be tn
safety of the fallen Emperor, whose IN
hallowed ambition led him to bid de
tiance to the principals long cherished j
the hearts Of American people. If tn
Government to which my whole soul
attached is content with its records,
must be with mine. If you, its highes
officer are willing to receive resigns
ton forced on me by want of transport
alton, am far more happy to retur
the commission OF which ! have bee
proud, than when received it.
| have the honor to remain,
Very respectfully,
Your most ob't sery't,
LEWIS D. CAMPBELL"
