/ DE-. @. W. Brink, United States Consul,
arrived here yesterday direct from Mexico,
bearing dispatches of an important charac-
ter to the President and Secretary Of State,
and to-day had an interview with General
Grant. II is understood that these dis
patches refer to the regulations between
Minister Rosecrsns and the Mexican Co.
tvernment relative to certain treaties that
the Mexican Government is desirous of
entering into for the cession of certain por-
tons Of Mexico to the United States for the
purpose Of raising money to support the
Juarez Government. 7-a ,r -gea -,
Mr.. Rosecrans, it appears, would like to
remain in Mexico to complete these nego-
tiations, but unfortunately. for him our new
minister is now on his way, and will arrive
there before an answer will be received by
General Rosecrans.
Adult CUBA. nj. ...r."r#
Efforts have been made for some time by
several Cuban agents to purchase arms and
supplies for Che insurgents, but they have
not succeeded. Quite recently they had an
interview with General Grant on the sub
Ject, when they were informed by him that
If the Government had any arms, NUM-
tions, &c., to spare, they would be disposed
of to any one, the President arguing that
he had received no official notification Of
any recent battles between the Cubsns and
Spaniards, and therefore any supplies that
could be spared by the Government would
be sold to either Cubans or spaniards if
they wished to purchase.
MINISTER MOTLEY's INSTRUCTIONS.
Among other things considered to day at
the Cabinet session were the instructions
relating to Minister Motley. It is under
stood that it was decided that the best po-
Icy would be for Mr.. Motley to leave for
his post at once, and before the Govern
ment were officially informed of any action
on the part of the British Government in
relation to the Alabama claims.
LEE-GRANT.
General Robert E. Lee will be in the city

the President-by appointment-relative to
affairs in Virginia. While here he will be
the guest of Hon. Montgomery Blair.

declination of the Massachusetts judgeship
to Governor Clafin, preferriDg his present
position to the one rendered him.
VARIOUS ITEMS.

already been made for the new judgeships
created by recent act of Congress. The
President, however, has determined to
make no promises until next winter.
Rumor has it that the President will
supercede Mr.. Ashley as Governor Of Mon
tana.
