The Fomento newspaper of Porte Rico copies a report from the Panama Star and Herald to the following effect: That Commo- dore Nunez, commanding tue Spanish equad- ron in the Pacific. has proposed up armistice, all questions at issue between Spain and Chill to stand as before the war; the Cavadonga and the Spanish prisoners to be returned to him, and commissioners to be appointea on both sides to treat the qnestion amicably. all of which the Chilian Government refased in a very decided manner. Nunez then proposed thatthe Chihan Minister of Foreign Affairs come on board his: flagship aud arrange the armistice. to which the reply was, that Senor Mendez Nunez was at liberty to come to the pital to make any proposition he saw tit, but that the Minister of Fo: nm Affairs could not leaye to treat on any su t with the enemy. A negro named Nelson Wright was arrested in Nashyilie, yesterday, on a charge of mur- der. The evidence against him gors to show that on Tuesday night he decoyed a negro girl named Ann ‘Towns, who was in the employ of (General Donaidon, to the race-ground, and there brutally outraged and murdered her. The body was found in a pond near the track. The accused was remanded to jail on the charge of murder in the first degree. The New York Ti special from Montreal sys the militia rarms and on duty.

The committee consisted of Messrs. Eaton, Philpot, Whituey, Olarke and Esrle, of the Senate, and Messrs. Frazier, Slothower, Harris, Miller, of Anne Arundel, Hazen, Poteet, Mules, Soper, Calvert and Lus- by, of the House of Delegates, allof whom were present excepting Messrs. Philpot, Whit- ney and Clarke. Shortly afier the honr of noon the committee obtained audience of the President, aud, upon being ushered into his office, were severally presented to him by Mr. Frazier, who, in pre- seuting the rezolutions, said, they not only rep- resent the sentiments of a m; of the mem- bers of the Legisiatnre of land, but the sentiments, Mr. President, of the great body of the people of Maryland—ihe loyal and Ratriot- ic people of the State. As the organ of that com- mittee, I can say it affords us a great deal ot plea- sure to meet you at this time. We have looked upon the pres you haveimaugurated, we have approved of it, and we thought it was rigut and proper that we should pass resolutions in- dicauye of the sentiments of our peopie on the subject. For, Mr. President, we were not un- mindful of attempts in certain quarters, well known to the country, to deprt trom the prin- Fi es inaugurated by the Union party and foHowed oul by your illustrious predecessor and yourself. We believe, sir, with yon, that itis impossible for a Staie to commit suicide, that the States—ail of them—nre to-day in this Uniou, and whereyer a loysl man presents himself he should be admitied mio ibe Hoase or into the Senate But, since those resolutions were adopted, other events of a grave charac- ter have trauspizred. In the exercise of the an- thority conferred upon you by the Consticunon, you have returned with your yeio, giving your reasons therefor, the Freedmen’s Bareau bill. We skould fail to represent the people of Maryiand did we not thank you from our for that act. The people of the State thank you. The great body of ufe people in this country thank yon. And permit me to sa: A Mr. President, the historian that records the acts of heroism and patriotism formed by you during the civil war, and since your accession to the Presidency, will place the yeto of that Freedmen’s Bureau bill as your erowan- rs. he President responded : Liave no reply to make, gentiemen, more than to thank you fur the encouragement and countenance you have given on the present oc- casion, aud the confidence you have indicated as placing im me as arm execuuve officer, and in my public acts. All that I can sayin cennec- tion with the subject bas beén said. And I trust and hope, so far us concerns my prior nets, that your confidence has not been mis- Placed, and that you may not be mistaken in your approbation. {tis unnecessary for me to repeat the privciples 1 have already iaid down. Lhey are understood, and there can be no mistake when they are read and under- stom a5 to the position I oceupy. Persons who understand principles, and who agree Upon principles, have come together, and act togethere without any previous concert or comparision of notions or jdeas. We find them myoluntarily approaching each other. And the conyerse of tbe proposition is just as true. here they disagree and do not harmonize in their thoughts and actions, they early com- mence a divergent course. The most eratify- ing thing to me in this, is, after all, that 1 am one of those who rety upon principle. From my earliest advent. into public life, there has been some fundamental notion about this nation that I have entertained and never de- axtirom. Byi.as 1 said, one of the gratify. ine things to me is, that after we have passed through the ordeal that ‘has our very ent histery—that chaotic state that bad characterized the public mind— that when see these principles enun- ciated, there is sii) an apprebensioa and a comprehension of them -around which and about which there seems to commence a erys- talization and & formation of men, that will, in the end, I believe, sustain the country. As to myself nidivid ually, that is a very small affair. lt-amounts to bui very litile. at, so far as that goes, if I have given no evidence of sin. cerily, or that I can be confided in and relied Upon, in the pas:, there is nothtag I could say aow—no profession that 1 could make, that Would show, that, as it has been in the Pasi, so in the future, the Constitution is my guide. The public geod has been my aim, And sink or swim, live or die, mpon. that principle and Upon that Mire ft shall go through with it. All that I ask is an honest and con: public to stand by me, and say in the future whether Lb am sincere in what I profess, and whether the principles upon which we rely are it in ibemselves. There is one thing which I baye relied upon in early life, and which has become & part ot my very numre. The principles, the great principles, of tree government, Lect tag tailed. In the possession of these great prin. ciples we cannot reach a wrong conclusion. lf we are righ!—if the principles are right in ihemeelyes and we pursue them rightfally— though there may be gloom gathering around our path way, though we may not see our wa) entirely clenr, yet in the purenit of principie, if we follow it, it will take rs triumphanuy through, without regard to whar mee upen the right hand or upon the lett jut i trast and bope that in this struggle in the Gov- ernment, us it were, we may be en- couraged to commence # new career; and ‘that we will commence it upon Pprincipte. Aud though to far as 1 am concerned, I Tepes, Jamon very small part of this thing, yet, now isa time jot petriots who love Principles an@ who want to preserve Oonstitution intact—now jg. a. time to come forward with: to any future, se far » for lam is #& time fo make a combaaiion upon this great to@pifest that st can be sueccessinliy demon. strated. Now is. time to make a basis; now is atime to eather the material; now isn time to rally uround Y principle, and lav a basie ypen whieh car Gowrruttent coq proceed. And thai being done, and this Union being re- questiog: and stored. the summit of my ambition Bas been reached, the measure of my ambition has heen fulfilled, and I could now say, as Simeon did of old—if I had it tn my power to pronounce that this Union was restored, and the Constitu- tion intact, and the Government had com- menced its career anew —if all these things were established I could exclaim :-—«The siorg of Thy salvation, O God, has been seen an! manifested, and now let Thy seryant depart in Peace!’ 1 thank you, gentlemen, for the en- couragement you have given me. T think I know bow to appreciate and frel it. I ni aud trust in the end to deserve your support. THE PRESIDENT AND THE KENTUCKY DELEGATION. HE IS RESOLVED TO DEFEND THE CONSTITU- TION. Yesterday morning. James A. Dawson, Esq., Regisier of the Land Office for the State of Kentucky, in company with Messrs. Harding, Ritter, Roussean, Grider, Trimble and Shank- lin, members of Congress, (Quartermaster Gen- eral Geo. W. Mouroe, and other citizens of that State, called upon the President. The object of the visit was to present to Mr. Johnson the proceedings ef 2 muss Meeting held at the capitel, in Frankfort, endorsing Ris yeto message. Air. Dawson, on being introduced, addressed the President. saying the meeting which dele- guted him was of the people, without regard tO past poiiticalsentiments. Men of all parties united in the meeting cordially, neartly, en. thusiastically. Similar meetings bave been ap held ey where throughout the The people of Kentucky hold that the Union of the es LAS not been cestroyed: that the attempted revolution had no other ef. feet than to su-pend for the ume the operation of the relations between the vies and the Government, and did not destroy or impair them in any degree. There bas been, and still Js, some impatience and dis:auuefaction felt by the people at what they regard as onkind sus- Picions and discrimmations against them upon the part of the Goverument, which they have sustained thronghont the late terrible conflict ateu sacrifices as only they and those simi- larly situated can know. They have felt, and fee}, that the fact that the State complied with every requirement of the authorities of the Government, wheiber it met the approbation ot her people or not—inrnished all the men and sil the money demanded of her; bared her bosom to the shock of battle; gave up her sub- stance to the support of the armies: in short, performed her whole duéy—entities her to ali the consideration shown to the other States, which did no more, and suffered not a tithe compared to her, >.

Ii is peculiarly gratifying to receive these assurances at this particular time. I trust the results will show that the coafidence thus reposed is not mis- placed, and will never become a matter of re- eret _ the part of those who give expres- sson thereto. The present is as a most critical jnucture in the affairs of the na- tiot—scarcely less so than when an armed and organized force sought to overthrow the Govy- ernment. ‘To attack and artempt the disruption of the Government by armed combination and military force is no more dangerous to the life Of the naticn than an attempt to revolutionize and undermine it by a disregard and destruction of the safeguards thrown around the liberties of the people in the Constitution.

THE ALEXANDRIA Etecrfey.—oOf the mn- nicipal election beld in Alexandria, Va., on Tuesday last, the State Journal of that city As WA&s anticipated by every person in the city fstmiliar with the condition of our present politteal status, the Union ticket was yesterday deivated by an overwhelming majority. Nota single Union candidate received a majority of the votes cast in any of the wards, At least seven of the successful candidates haye been in the South during the rebellion, and a ma- jerity of these served in the ranks of the rebel army, and it is @ noteworthy fact that while some of the “reconstructed” yoters were chal- lenged, they were without a single exception aliowed to yote. In the Second Ward nine Yoles were objected to being received by com- missioners Armstrong and Simpson. These votes were, however, counted in the general result by the Board of Commissioners this morning. In the Firet Ward objections were entered by Mr. Howard, one of the Commis- sioners, to the reception of votes from those in- dividuals who had returned from the South Within the past twelye months, but his objec- hous were overruled. ln the Third and Fourth Wards no questions were propounded to the voters by the Commissioners on this point. We understand that steps will be immediately br to contest the election of several of the officers.

The Govern- ment had no objection, and in fact had stated ®0 to Mr. Adame, to consider the quesuon with the American Government, with a view of rendering ‘he laws as effective as possible. Mr. Watkins asked of any and what represen- tations had been made by Her Majesty's Gov. ernment to the Government of the United States, in reference to the Fenian organiza- on in America, And more especially as to the employment of United States officers, the issud of bonds of the so-called Irish Republic, ane the threats to levy war upon the dominions of her Majesty by that organization. He believed that President Johnson was fully impressed with the necessity of maintaining friendiy re- jations with Engiand, and baving issned proc- lamations preventing the United States from interiering in the Chilian and Mexican dificul- ties, he wished to know bow it was that simi- lar steps bad not been taken to discountenance the Fenian movement The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in reply, Tegretted that the subject bad been introduced. as the time selected for introducing it wa= most iDopportune, and no good resuli could be produced by dixcuesing it. Nothing bad been stated by the honorable member to show tba y act bad been done in America in vio- iation of the American Inw, which was the of tre American Government to have r ed and redressed before the ordinary tribunals. Her Majesty's Government bas seen cause to deplore much that had taken nerd in the United States in reference to the ‘enians, but there was no cause to justify them in making representations to the United States on thesubject. He believed that public opin- ion. both im Lreland and im America, con- demped the proceedings of the Fenians, and it would be undignified to remonstrate with the American Government so long as no posi- Uve act was committed which amounted toa breach of neutrality laws. r. Otway thought that representations ough: at once to be made to the American Gov- ernment. Mr. Oliphant ridiculed the movement so far as the American organization was concerned, And denied that it possessed either the sympa- thies, respect or admiration of the American people. After some remarks by other speakers, the subject was dropped. MEXICO IN THE Frencu Lecrs_aTuRe.—in the French Corps Legislatiff on the 19th ult, Count Walewski read from the chair the ad- dress in response to the Emperor's speech, which contained the foliewing allusion to the Mexican question :-—“Our expedition to Mexico is approaching itsend. The country has re- ceived the assurance of this with satisfaction. We were forced to go to Mexico by the impera- tive duty of protecting our countrymen against odious violence, and obtaining the redress of our too Jegitimate grievances. Our soldiers and sailors have worthily fulfilled the task as- signed by your Majesty to their devotasinese. This expedition attests once more to distant conntries the disipterestedness and the power ot France.
