Paragraphs from the New York Press.
New York, Feb. 27.-The Time, has
private advices from San Domingo which
lead it TO believe that the mission Of
Assistant Secretary Seward to the West

being a treaty with President Cabral,
securing the long desired Bay of
SANTANA as a naval station Of the United
States.
The Times special says General Grant
yesterday expressed the intention Of
visiting the President for the purpose Of
advising him to sign the Military Recon-
struction bill.

NEW York, Feb. 27.-There is a re-
port that q Fenisn Envoy has arrived
from Ireland who says the English state
ments that the rebellion is ended are
false; that the uprising was general in
counties Kerry, Dublin and Tipperary;
that the organization is stronger than
ever; that soldiers are under the drill Of
400 men who served in this country dur.
ing the rebellion. As to detection
among the British troops, It is under
stood that they will march wherever
ordered, but when they come to fire
they will know what to do. An Ameri-
can officer has enlisted 5000 British
troops since Christmas.
At q meeting of Fenians here to-day
no want Of confidence in the movement
or orders was evinced. Plans were sub
mitted for conducting the campaign for
the freedom Of Ireland. It Is said that
it is contemplated, if the vigilance of
the British Government in Ireland should
render the movements extra hazardous,
to transfer operations to England.
