From WashiD z ton.

WAShlNGIoN, ouly ~.
1t is not thought that the President will be
able to send in his veto message by Thursday
1t has been published without qualification
that "In order to prevent any foreign nation
from taking advantage of Maximillian's exc
cution by interposing in the affairs of Mexico
several war steamers are to be sent from the
Navy Yard, to the North Rio Grande. wi4h q
view to watch the Austrian fleet, which is tc
arrive in Mexican waters to demand the body
of the late emperor"
In contradiction of,this there is authority fol
saying there is not the slightest foundation for
this statement; no vessels have been ordered
to the coast of Mexico, for any such purpose,
nor has the Navy Department knowledge OF
any facts upon which such statement could
have been predicated.
The agreement alleged to have been entered
into by j. Wilkes Booth and his confederates,
on April 18th which was handed by Booth to
Matthews the actor, and subsequently, de-
stroyed by the latter, and copy of which the
counsel for the defense in the Surratt case
yesterday, desired TO offer in evidence but was
ruled out to day by the court, was signed by
Booth, Atzerott, Payne and Harold.
1t set forth that the agreement was entered
tered into between Booth, Payne, Harold and
Atzerott and none others on that day April
18th, and that the conspiracy to abduct, having
failed and been abandoned, and Richmond
having fallen, the parties had determined
to kill president Lincoln on that night. In the
origin al letter as handed to Mr., Matthews, the
words determined to KILL were italicized.
The select committee on the treatment OF
prisoners of war and Union citizens, have is
sued circular earnestly requesting all per-
sons in possession OF important Information
upon either of those subjects, to address the
committee.
Correspondents from New England States
will address Aaron T. Stevens, NJ. N. A.

THE SURRATT TRIAL,

l----------- WASHINGTON, July H..
The Surratt trial was resumed this morning
| Mr.. Bradley continued the arguments for the
| admissibility of the evidence of agreement pc
tween Booth and others Tor the ASSASSINATION
of the President at considerable length, TO
which Mr. Darlington replied on behalf OF the
prosecution.
inadmissible II might have been the very OBJ
ject of the conspirators to screen some OF tue
parties to the conspiracy by gettlng up this
agreement.
Mr.. Matthews was recalled and cross-exam-
ined. There was no ar OF secrecy apout
Booths manner when he handed him the
paper. 81,
Gen. Tbos. Eckert was sworn and testified,
in regard to Booths diary. Had seen letter
on the torn leaf, don't think the one exhibited
is the original, thinks the counsel for the pros
eeution has the original one in his possession.
Mr. Pierpont searched his papers to find
the original but had not succeeded and to give
time for further search the court at 1150 A.
M. took recess of half an hour.
On the reassembling of the Court Gen Eek
ert was again placed on the stand, and further
cross-examined in reference to the missing
letter to DR.. Stewart, the original of which has
not been found.
John Ford was recalled and examined as TO
statements made by Weichman while being
confined together in Carroll prison: Welcn-
man told witness that he had told the oecfe-
tdry OF war where JOHH ouii".p w. - -
time of the assassination; said he had told him
he was in Montreal.
Mr. Pierrepont asked TO have the statement
about Montreal stricken out, and it was SO Or
dered
BY Mr. Bradley.-He (Weichman) told wit
ness that Surratt was in Canada on the day of
the assassination, because he had seen a dis
patch from Surratt from there dated the 18th.
By Mr.. Observation-Disclosures took notes of
some Ct the conversations in prison, but not at
the time they occurred.
Joseph e. Maddox was called, but his evil
dence was ruled out
Mr.. Merrick stated that the defence had no
further witnesses to examine to-day That
they had sent for witnesses, who had tele-
graphed that they would be here tonight. He
could now state to the counsel ON the other
side that the defence expected to close their
testimony tomorrow. The Court knew how
the defence had been embarrassed in obtain
ing the presence of their witnesses here.
1t was difficult matter to get witnesses
from the Polish dOminions.
The court acquiesced in the remarks of the
counsel.
AT lao P. NJ. the court adjourned till to-mor-
row morning
