New YORK, Aug. "a special from
Washington says: The President is not
yet fully determined what he will do abou,
issuing his proclamation of neutrality be-
tween France and Prussia. In CONVERSE
ton with some persons at Long Branch, he
said he thought he would not issue one at
present, as there did not seem to be any oc-
cssion or necessity for 1t. In the course Of
conversation to-day he indicated that it
is not vet settled lust what shall be done in
the premises. He has received Napoleon 8
official proclamation Of war, and III 1t the
Emperor svows his purpose to protect not
only the honor and dignity of France but to
maintain the political equilibrium of
Europe. The President thinks the war is
likely enough to be . long one, and not
without material advantages to our country.
The French minister has issued procla-
nation of neutrality.
Official notification from France and
Prussia having been received, and the fact
made known to the president, he has deter
mined to issue a proclamation OF neutrality.
| He SAYS that he will promulg gate this order
of neutrality when he returns from St. Louis.
| The proclamation will particularly explain
| the neutrality laws so they may be fully un-
derstood BY the people.
| The president replied to a question IN re-
lation to Freylinghuysen that he would
probably leave for Europe the latter part of
August that he had accepted the appoint
ment, and his instructions, although not yet
prepared in form. we're understood by Frey
| linghuysen, and will doubtless be carried
out 80 far as possible. he said:
| | feel confident that FreIinghuysen is in
perfect accord with the government, and
| will do the best in discharge of his import
ant duties in connection with the Alabama
| claims.
In reference to the war the President
agrees with AckermaD that 1t will be long
| and exhausting war with strong probability
that both parties will come out defeated.
RICHMOND, Va, August 6.-Considerable
excitement prevails among the Journalists
in Virginia and throughout the south at the
action of MIR. Simanton.
The Associated Press has strikeu
from its lists OF subscribers
the Petersburg Index, one OF the
leading papers of the state, because that
journal refused to retract and apollo
gize for its comments upon the staieness o.
the war news telegrsphed south by the
Associated Press. The Index has appealed
to the e,her Virginia papers to sustain it
and several of them have already expressed
themselves ready for the fight. The Rich
mond State Journal bitterly attacks the
MONOPOLY, saying: "We have frequently
com planned ourselves OF wrong, that we psit
for ne ws sent for us daily by telegraph, which
! we're received at the same hour much fulie
by mail from Baltimore, but our complaint
have received no attention from this autocra
of the news monopoly. We have also rep
resented the partizan character at the DIS
: patches, and we heartily join with the lnde'
| in deuouncing the hagrsnt acts OF lhJusuc
. perpetrated against the southern press D
Simonton and his agents,a will co operat
in any action that may be taken to protee
our common interests against this insolen
t monopoly"
The Petersburg Index, in their difficulty
appealed to the general agent of the Amer
can Press association. AS the result, the
: publish to day exclusively. the news Of tn
E battle of Weissenburg a half day ahead
. the Associated Press papers. The lnde
desires to enter the American Press sssocit
t;ou, and the initiation fee of $500 is read
for the treasurer.
D The rebellion is rapidly extending.
