WASHINGTON. ‘The Six Hundred Million Loan Bill Reperted te the House. The New Plan for Governing Rebel- Hous States Shelved. ACTION ON THE ENROLMENT’ BILL, kee, ke, &e. ‘Wasamaron, Feb. 21, 1865. ‘SENATOR MORGAN URGED TO BE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. President Lincoln had an interview with Senator Mor- gan last evening, and endeavored to prevail upon him to ‘weconsider his action in reference to the Treasury and accept that position. Mr. Morgan remains firm, and seca “0 reason as yet to change his decision, GOVERNOR FENTON TO BE URGED AS SECRETARY OF . ~ THE TREASURY, The disappointment of the parties urging the appoint- ‘ment ofa Secretary of the Treasury from New York, in ‘view of the refusal of Senator Morgan to sorve, has turned ‘their taotios into a new channel, They now propose ‘40 advance Gevernor Fenton as # candidate. Ho has ‘Deen twelve years in Congress, and on the Committee of ‘Ways and Means of the House for three or four terms. Since his election as Governor he is supposed to have the confidence of all factions of his party in his State, and of ‘the conservative and moneyed classes, He has beqn for ‘many years a principal owner and manager in one of tho banks in Western New York, and in that connection identified with the organization and interests of the Now Yerk State banking system. Longer in Congress than ‘Senator Morgan, he has held, as a member of Congress, the game position which the latter now holds in the ‘Senate, with regard to the financial affairs of the country centered in New York. He was always the confidential ‘Tesource of the financial institutions and bankers when- ~ever they had any special views to urge hore affecting ‘their general interests throughout the country. SURVEYOR WAKEMAN’S PROSPROTS. ‘The confirmation of Abram Wakeman does not move » along as smoothly as was expected after the remonstrance ‘was withdrawn. There wasa bitter contest in the com- ~ mittee, which resulted in its postponement until next Thursday. WHOLESALE EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS. A letter from Colonel Mulford, received here to-day, «@tates that preparations are now completed by which he ‘will be able to exchange from five to sever thousand ‘prisoners per week. EHE RECONSTRUCTION BILL FINALLY DISPOSED OF. ‘The House to-day finally disposed of all reconstruction ‘measures by laying the bill reported from the Committee -son the Rebellious States upon the table and nailing it there. This action meets with general approval, for no bill can mow be framed which would not be likly to embarrass ‘the settlement of the political relations of the States in -rebellion with the general government. The committee ‘havo labored faithfully and earnestly to prepare an acceptable and judicious law upon the subject, out the difficulties and constantly changing cir- cumstances surrounding this vexed question are so reat as to render inexpedient, at this time, any special Miegislation upon the subject. THE ENROLMENT ACT. The amendments to the Conscription law reported by ‘the Military Committee of the House came up this after- noon, but no progress was madé beyond the rejection of ‘the firat section. It is not probable that the measure will pass, it meoting with much opposition from both sides of ‘the House. It was denounced by Hon. Thaddeus Stevens «as more tyrannical than anything that had ever been enacted in Austria, and he expressed the hope that the «whole thing would be voted down. PAYING OFF THE TROOPS. Several paymasters, provided with funds, left yester- valay for the Army of the Potomac.

OUR RELATIONS WITH NAPOLEON, mo ae ‘The Cunard mail steamer China, Captain Anderson, | which’ left Liverpool at tem o'clock onthe morning of the 1ith, and Queenstown on the evening of the 12th February, arrived here last night. The London Indes, the rebel organ, says:— We are credibly informed that secret jons are now progressing between the the United States and that of Denmark, for the acquisition the former of the large ee built iron-clad of the model, which, it will be remembered, was at one titer sup to be designed for the Co: an the threat of proceedings the wold tonne “and, if ‘well informed, jes pel we are as is no reason to bt, about ions there pend- the nogotiati in rej to her, the practical result of English’ neu- ity will be to transfer this formidable engine of mari- time warfare into the hands of the North, possibl: match herself before long against her model, the rior, The London Telegraph says:— It was rted on Wednesda} French Emperor had causes teveral war seamers fe go as case of the Con- steam ram Olinde, To anes eae to one of the uthern ports, and that the Ni had started from the Channel on a similar mission.

This theme, with in- significant variations, is the subject of several paragraphs. Intelligence has been received from Lisbon announcing that Portugal has resolved upon remaining neutral in the war between Brazil, Paraguay and the Banda Oriental. The Paris Monitewr publishes the official decrees, which declare the Bishop of Moulins and the Cardinal Arch- bishop of Besangon guilty of an abuse of ecclesiastical authority in regard to the publication of the Encyclical. The Moniteur also states that the Emperor has instracted the Foreign Minister to complain to the Papal govern- ment of the letters addressed by the Nuncio to the Bishop of Orleans and the Bishop of Poictiers, and which are declared to have constituted in themselves an infrac- tion of international law and of the public law of France. It does not seem that there is the slightest chance of re- conciliation between the Prussian government and the Chamber of Deputies. The new military bill makes no concession, and therefore the majority of the Chamber aro determined simply to express their regret that such @ bill should have been introduced. The intelligence from Japanj is unsatisfactory. The British forces were still in the Bay of Jeddo. Itis re- ported that the Mikado repudiates the late convention. ‘The Prince of Nagato has commenced rebuilding the bat- teries in the Straits of Simonosaki. Two French sailors have been murdered by Japanese. Two Japanese have been executed for the assassination of Major Baldwin and Lieutenant Bird. The City of Baltimore reached Liverpool early on the morning of the 10th of February. The new steamer City of Boston, which left Liverpool on the 8th, met with an accident to her machinery on arrival at Queenstown, and was detained at that port. She would probably sail again for New York on the 11th. Twenty-five guineas premium wore being paid to effect iusurances on the steamer United Kingdom bound from the Clyde to New York.

Mr. Peacocny asked the Colonial Secretary whether Judge Coursol, in Canada, had been di in conse- quence of any communication from the government at home; and, if so, whether such obmmunication was made at the instance of the government at Washington. Mr. Caxpwatt said he had not received any report that Jus Coursol had been dismissed.

CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES On the order offthe day for going into Committee of Suppl ‘dir’ Wawa asked Lord Palmerston for information relative to the circumstances which have led to the no- tice given by the rnment of the United States of their intention to terminate the Reciprocity and the neutrality of the Canadian lakes. The honorable member urged that Canada had no desire to form of the sys- tem of the United States, but that, on the contrary, it wished rather for an independent confederation, or for the continuance of an alliance with this country. He re- garded the notice which had been given by the President of the United States of the intention of his government to terminate the convention as the prelude to declara tion of war, and said it would be w for the govern- ment to regard the recent oftensive and hostile acts of the Americans towards us as mere bluster and bravado, He moved that all papers and correspondence in reference to = laces and treaty of commerce be laid on the tabl Lord Patmerston sald be would not follow the honorable member into discussion of the present state of our rela- tions with the United States. He did not think that at the present moment a discussion of that nature would be at all conducive to the pubiic interest. He would, there- fare, confine himself to answering the question put by the honorable baronet. There were two arrangements between Great Britain and the United States. 6 first was entered into in 1817, and by it both parties agreed to ‘8 limitation of thetr naval force on the lakes. It was not & treaty, but an arrangement entered into between the two governments. The other was the treaty bearing on the commercial intercourse of the American provinces and the United States, and including certain arrangements wo far: (OUSE OF with to the fisheries in North America. All the papers on those two points had ready been tald on the table. In November last he received an intima- tion from the government of the United States that they intended to put an end—as they had a right to do—to the agreement which rel to the limitation of the na- val force on the lakes; but juld seem that that inten- tion was temporary in its nature, referring to certain transactions which had taken place on the lakes, The United States government considered that additional means of defonce on their part were necessary; but the abrogation of the ment was not to be considered aaa final decision, the convention was open toa renewal at a future time. He di think the House would be justified in sores the course whieh had been taken by the United States as an indication of in- tended hostilities.

A gang of bold and desperate burglars made an attempt on Monday night to blow open and rob the safe of Mr. John K. Brown, ® broker, doing business in the base- ment of premises 185 Greenwich street. About three o'clock in the morning officer Malloy, of the Twenty- seventh precinct, while on duty in Greenwich street, some two blocks distant from Mr. Brown's place, had his suspicions aroused by hearing a rumbling noise, some- what resembling an explosion. The noise appeared to be in the immediate vicinity, and to satisfy himself the officer remained thereabouts, closely scrutinizing window and ‘alleyway ory door, which he passed. Just at daybreak officer Malloy dis- covered a light under the door of Mr. Brown’s office.

INQUISITION BEFORE QORONER GOVER—SEVERAL WITNESSES EXAMINKD—THE MYSTERY STILL UN- EXPLAINED—REMARKABLE RELIGIOUS AND OTHER OPINIONS OP DEORASED—HIS BROTHER KILLED IN ATTEMPTING?

The investigation in the case of Rene Gautier, the gon- tleman who committed suicide at 219 Weat Forty-eighth street, on Wednesday of last weok, by shooting himself through the brain with a pistol, was concluded yesterday before Coroncr Gover. Efforts have been made by tho Coroner to procure witnesses who, from intimate ac- quaintance with deceased, might be enabled to testify as to the causes which prompted him to terminate an un- happy existence, but they proved futile. Several persons with whom Mr. Gautier had business relations appeared before Coroner Gover and testified to facts within their knowledge, but nothing was developed during the testimony to show conclusively why he sacrificed his own life. It seems he was laboring under the constant impression that officers were on his track and intended to arrest him for some real or imaginary crime. tall events, he left nothing behind him to ex- plain hie mysterious oxit into eternity.
