THE REBEL LOAN. The important correspondence between Secretary Seward and Mr, Adams, our Minister in London, regard- ing the rebel loan and the recent extraordinary decision of the British Vice Chancellor on the subject, in the case of Priolean and others, appears iu this morning’s Heraty. Mr. Seward inajructs Mr. Adams that, if it should become necessary, he may take occasion to inform her Majesty's Ministry and subjects ‘that the United States has never for an instimt admitted that the combination of rebels in this country was a de facto government or in any sense a political power, not- withstanding that “a different view of the charac- tor of the insurgents has seemed to find favor with some portions of the British nation, and even with the British government.” It is therefore almost super- fluous, Mr. Seward thinks, to state that our government has no idea of being held responsible for the rebel debt, and that it will insist on its claim to the restora~ tion of the cotton which English merchants have received as security for their advance to the rebel confederacy, without regard to any ‘“condi- tious which the Court of Chancery or any other munici- pal court of Great Britain may have the presumption to dictate or prescribe in the present or any other litiga- tion.” In connection with this correspondence we fur- nish the naines of a number of wealthy Englishmen who ‘have a deep interest in it, from the fact of their being ‘holders of the rebel bonds. THE NEWS. Nothing was done yesterday in the Wirz military court. All the members of the commission excepting Goneral Geary were present at the hour for assembling, and the accused was brought into the court room ; but he ‘was still 90 ill as to be unable to sit up, and owing to this fact, of the absence of General Geary, or both, without proceeding with the trial, a further adjournment tilb to-day took place. Further intoresting intelligence regarding the South American war is given in our correspondence from the Brazilian capital. We have already announced tho visit ot the Emperor to the sceno of hostilities in the pro- vince of Rio Grande. Thence he started for the frontier to havo « conference with his two allies, the Presidents of the Argentine Confederation and of Uruguay. A iargo steam ram for the Brazilian navy had arrived from France, othors had been nearly completed at Rio Janciro, and it was said that an American gentloman who had just left there for the United States carried with him commission for the construction of iron- lads for the Emperor in this country. Volun- teering for the Brazilian army was very active and spirited in the provinces on the first call for troops; bat in RioJaneiro it had become necessary to commence consoripting, whioh was being carried on with great v igor and Jittle.ceremony. Officors attended by guards stationed themselves at the. most frequented places in tho principal thoroughfares and soized and sent to the army rendezvous all passing mon and able boys who could not show clear oases of oxemption. Civil officers of the government who did not volunteer. would be drafted, and bo forever after incapable of holding similar civil positions. Phe prospects of the coffee crop in Bra- zil wero most cheering; but the experiments so far ‘mado in cotton culture had not afforded much encourae- ment. . A party of emigrants from Missouri, who were 40 wedded. to the instigntion of slavory that after its de- ‘struction they could not remain in their own country, ‘bad artived in Braail and gone to the province of Parana to settle. From Washington we are informed that the Brazilian government has officially expressed its complete satisfac- tion with the oxplanation given by our government re- garding the capture by the steamer Wachusett, in Babia bay, of the rebel pirate steamer Florida. ‘The arrival of President Juarez, of Mexico, at the town of El Paso, on the Rio Grande, aftor being driven out of Chihuahua, his capital, by the imperial troops, was noticed in yesterday morning’s Hxratp, At El Paso Juarez had only to cross the river to be" safe im the United States, and a report has boon started that he de- signs abandoning his country for the present and coming on to this city, whero he will join bis wife and family, who have boon for some time past residing here. Bofore leaving Chihuahua he issued a protest against the impé- rial occupation of Mexico, asserting his legitimate claims to the chief magistracy of the country. It is suid that tn this document Juares announces himself a full-blooded Indian and a Hneal descendant of the Montozumas. Some further details of the proceedings of the Alabama reconstruction convention are furnish- od by tolograph by way of Now Orleans, From these it would seem that the previous report of tho convention having decided that the State must assume its debt contracted in aid of the rebellion was incorrect, it being now stated that up to the adjourn- mont on Saturday last final action had not been taken on the matter. Resolutions repudiating that debt, acknowl. odging the abolition and prohibiting the restoration of alavory, declaring that proper protection should be given the negroes, repealing the ordinance of secession, and ratifying all State enactments and judicial proceedings of a date subsequent to secession not inconsistent with the national constitution and laws, were introduced, and laid over Ull yesterday to give opportunity for debate on thom. The discussion was expected to be very anima- tod.

There were 382 natives of the United States, 107 of Ireiand, 44 of Germany, 7 of England, 5 of *cotland, and the balance of various for- eign countries, A correspondent who is well informed on the matter of which ho writes makes a statement, in 9 communtea- tion which he sends to us from Fort Jefferson, on the Dry Tortugas, regarding the occupations to which the assassination conspirators have been put. Dr. Mudd is @ prison hospital nurse, Arnold is a clerk in the Provost Marshal's office, and Spangler and O’Laughlin are work- ing at their trade, carpentering, in the engi neer depart- ment. - Eight convicts escaped from the Auburn State Prison last Friday evening. They were pursued, two were shot and killed, four surrendered, and only two succeeded in securing their freedom. ‘The first streét horse railway in Halifax, Nova Scotia, was inaugurated on Saturday last with considerable cere- mony and display, persons of high official and social positions in the province taking a leading part. The stock market was extremely dull anda fraction lower yesterday. Governments were steady. Gold was firm, and closed at 14356. ‘There was little or no change in the commercial status yesterday as compared with Saturday. The movement in trade was rathor slow, and there was not so miich buoyancy as was noticed during the greater part of last week. Foreign goods were generally quiet, while do- mestic produce was heavy, save in exceptional cases, Breadstufls were depressed and lower. Cotton was steady. Groceries were steady. Potroloum was quict. Provisions were quiet. Lard was firmer. Whiskey was firmor: President Joh: a roihaivder of the loyal Ch'rokees, and the reprosenta- tives 0! all the other tribes who had not yet signed it gave assurances of their intention to do so, but desired a little more time for consideration. kn another part of tbls morning’s issue are given the haines of all the officers who have received from the Presidynt brevet promotions in the regular army since the 26th of May last, forming a list of considerable length. It was supposed that the Board of Councilmen would old « session yesterday; but, a quorum not being pre- Sent when the roll was called, the Board was adjourned til! Thursday next. ‘The examination of the charges against Captain Ander. son, of the American emigrant ship Villafranca, of mal treatment of his passengers and denying them sufficient food, on a recent passage from London to this port, was commenced yesterday before United States Commissioner Osborn, The accused was present, and, through his counsel, requested a further delay of proceedings; but the Commissioner refused to grant the request, asthe captain had already been allowed one postponement. The testimony of several of those who were passengers on the trip alluded te was taken, their statements indi- cating gross ill-treatment. A considerable portion of the food furnished was said to be putrid. The continuation of the case was adjourned over till Thursday morning. The case of the estate of Mrs. Juliana Gardner, mn which David L. Gardner, her son, is plaintiff, and Mrs. Julia G, Tyler, widow of ex-President Tyler, and daughter of Mrs. Gardner, is defendant, occupied the at- tention of the general term of the Supreme Court yes- terday afternoon. The property involved is about two hundred thousand dollars, and the case excites much interest. The present proceedings are on an appeal of the plaintiff for the removal of Judge Roosevelt from the position of receiver of the estate, to which he was appointed on an appeal of Mrs. Tyler for the removal of Mr. Cyrus Curtiss, the former receiver. The matter is still before the court. Two female doctors were in court yesterday, before Judge Barnard, The plaintiff, Laura M. Ward, repre- sented that in June, 1864, she rendered professional ser- vices to her sister in medicine at Dryden Springs, Tomp- kins county, for which she claimed compensation. The defendant, Elizabeth Sexton, denies the complaint, and the case came up on a motion to change the venue to Tompkins county. The decision was reserved. Judge Daly, of the Court of Common Pleas, was occu- pied yesterday with a case to which all the parties were Chinamen. Wood Sampson, the plaintiff, set forth that he loaned a certain sum of money to John R. Wing, the defendant, ana that sixty-nme dollars of the amount. were still due him. The conflict of testimony was sur- prising and amusing, and, after listening for some hours, during which the Chinamen made several speeches and sundry wordy attacks upon each other, the Judge nally settled the case in favor of the plaintiff, Part Two of the Court of Common Pleas was opened yesterday by Judge Cardozo, for the trial of equity cases; but, the calendar being called without discovering any cages ready, an adjournment was ordered to this morning at eleven o’clock, In the Court of General Sessions yesterday Peter Wheeler was convicted of burglary in the first degree, baving on the night of the 30th of August entered room No. 35 inthe Ashland House, which was occupied by Mr, Jacob G. Conrad, who, when he saw the accused in his room, pursued him to room No. 19, where the arrest was effected. No property or burglars’ imploments were found -in his possession, An arrest of judgment was moved by his counsel, and Wheeler was remanded for sentence till the close of the term. William Stockton was placed on trial charged with a similar offence, in entering a room in the Dey Street House, occupied by Mr. Rem. 1.. Disbrow, on the night of the 7th of August. Counsel for the prisoner raised the question that tho code, as amended by the Legislature, allowed the pris. oner to be examined in his own behalf, Judge Russel decided that the Legislature meant the amendment to apply only to cases that were quasi criminal in their character, and overruled the motion to permit the ac- cused to be examined. The case will be concluded this morning. The examination was resumed yesterday, in the Jeffer- 80n Market Police Court, after a considerable vacation, of the charges of H D. Stover against D. M. Porter, wherein the former, who was at one time a State prisoner in Fort Lafayette, alleges’ that the latter, with the pro- fessed object of using the money to secure his release, defrauded him of about twenty thousand dollars. Mr. Nathan B, Wilson, Solicitor of the Navy Department, was examined at considerable length, and on the con- clusion of his testimony the case was further adjourned to Monday next. A The Board of Fire Commissioners, at their meeting yesterday afternoon, organized five more new Metropoli- tan companies, notified somo six old ones of disband- ment, and transacted further business of lesser note. They adjourned to Friday afternoon. A fire broke out about three o'clock yesterday after- noon among some cotton in the storage establishment No. $05 Cherry street, which had only a short time be- fore been taken from @ vessel and placed there, com- pletely destroying that building and the adjoining bonded warehouses, No. 750 and A, B, C and D, on Water street. During the progress of the fire the adjacent shipping in the East river was much endangered, and the vessels were hauled out into the stream. A sehooner wag caught by the fames; but they wore extinguished before doing her much damage. It 1s supposed that the fire was in the cotton before it was taken from on board the vessel. The total loss is estimated ‘at two hundred thotisand dollars. Mayor Gunther, of this city, and Mayor Wood, of Brooklyn, accompanied by the acting French Coagul and a number of other gentlemen, yesterday, in accordance with am invitation from Rear Admiral Baron Didelot, commander of the French Weat India naval squadron, visited that gentleman and his officers on board the French steam frigate Themis, now lying in this harbor. The two Mayors and their friends wero recoived with all the honors, and wore conducted over every portion of the vessel, which they found a model of neatness and order inall respects, and fitted up with the most approved modern appliances. The Themis is three hundred and twonty-fivo feet long, forty-nine fect breadth of beam, carries thirty-two guns, and-has a crew of four hundred and seventy meu. After concluding the inspection of the ship, the guests wore entertained by the Admiral .at ‘an olegant repast on board, and they left highly delighted with their visit. Besides the Themis there are throe other French government vessels at present in our har- bor—the corvette Phlegethtom gunboat Amphion and ‘tani Tarn. ‘There was @ groat change in the temperature of the atmosphore yesterday in this city and vicinity from the hot weather which had been prevailing for some days previous. The mercury in the thermometer fell to seventy degrees, and during the day 4 chilling rain storm, very much resembling the semi-annual equinoc- tial visitant, eet in, and continued, with occasional inter- missions, far Into the night. The attendance at the American Institute Fair, in Fourteenth street, was not very numerous last evening, in consequence of the unfavorable weather. The exhi- bition now presents a much more complete and finished appearance than it did last week, the arrangement of the various articles having been greatly perfected. An interesting lecture on the ‘‘Arts and Monuments of Kagypt’’ was delivered last evening by Professor Dale at the Cooper Institute, before the Society for the Advanco- ment of Science and Art. The inclemency of the woather caused the attendance to be rather small, but the interesting nature, of the lecture drew together a elect audience. The roport ot the treasuror of the soclety was atso read, which showed the progress it has made since its organization. ‘Tho annual convention of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fel- Jows of the United States assembled in Baltimore yester- day, and was largely attended, delegates being prosent from nearly every State of tho Union and several of the and the Political Parties of the Day. The leading party journals of the North, re- publican and democratic, are sailing under short canvass, like ships adriftin a fog. They have lost their reckonings and their landmarks, they are uncertain as to their latitude and longitude, and are moving cautiously. On the republican side, in general terms, they endorse the administration of Andrew Johnson, while on the democratic side, in most cases, they mix up an approval of his Southern reconstruction policy with a rehash of the democratic prin- ciples which may be numbered among the de- funct abstractions of the rebellion. On both sides the managing politicians and their or- gans, while carefully holding the odministra- tion within hailing distance, are awaiting some further developments from Washington. There are ceriain hungry democratic jour- nals, however, which, snuffing the delicious odors of the kitchen, are flattering themselves with the idea that they will soon he restored to the enjoyment of the rich feast from which they have been so long excluded. They are delighted with the “irrepressible conflict” be- tween the abolition radicals and the President. They contend that there must either be a break which will serve the republican , party as the split from John Tyler served the old whig party, or that Andy Johnson will be compelled to yield to the pressure of the radicals, and so open wide the gates for the return of the democrats to the power and the spoils of the national government. But we are strongly in- clined to the opinion that all such calculations are delusions, and that they will so be proved before the close of the first session of the ap- proaching new Congress. The abolition radicals are just now trying the same game of intimidation and coercion which they tried so vindictively against Presi- dent Lincoln. But they found in his case that, ag the mountain would not come to Mahomet, Mahomet had no alternative but to go to the. mountain; and over he went. So, wher these noisy and threatening Jacobins, Thaddeus Ste- vens, Charles Sumner and. nearly all the rest, discover that Johnson is no more to be fright- ened from his course than was Lincoln, they will stop short, and consent to follow, instead of persisting in their fruitless efforts to lead, him. If they break with him they lose the offices, and they will not do that for all the rights of all the negroes under the sun, while there is a chanee to hold on to the spoils. | The President’s course is perfectly clear be- fore him. The issues upon which he was clect~ ed on the ticket with Abraham Lincoln, except- ing the Monroe doctrine, were settled with the collapse of the rebellion. There is no dispute and no ground fora dispute with him in regard to the Monroe doctrine; for no intelligent man can entertain a doubt of the soundness of An- drew Johnson upon this subject. This is all that remains to be carried out of the Baltimore republican platform, for the other two great issues thereof—the suppression of the armed forces of the rebellion by force of arms, and the removal of tho institution of slavery from the length’ and breadth of the lend—are things substantially ‘accomplished. Prest dent Johnson, therefore, is under no party Obligations or written engagement ; in reference to his. policy of Southern recoa- struction. He is perfectly free to take his own course, and no man or set of mon of either party or either section has any authority to say that hie is bound to go to the right hand or the se The shrewd managers of the late Masea- chusetts Bepublican Convention were doubt- less influenced by this idea, ‘as well as the con- viction that the administration is their only ark of safety; and, if the abolition Jacobins are thus rendered powerless in Massachusctts, what can they do anywhere else? Their geme, we may say, is already played ott. The mem- bers elect to the new Congress are as free to choose their own course as the President, for, like him, they were elected. upon issues which are settled. It is hardly probable, therefore, that they will accept the mew issues of negro suffrage and universal Southern confiscation, raised by Wendell Phillips, Sumner and Thad- deus Stevens, as the republicam platform. We expect, rather, that the impradénce of these abolition Jacobins will be promptly re- buked in the coming Congress, with the re- jection of their pernicious counsels. What, then, are these Jacobins. to do? They are fanatical sticklers for principles; but they are more strongly bound together by what, speaking of the adhesion of the: democrats to General Jackson, the baffled Calhoue described as “the cohesive power of the public plunder.” If the radicals of both houses of Congtess make @ holt they can hardly carry of one half the republicans with them. The remainder, then, by a fusion with the democrats, will have a voting majority in each house, and #0 8 bolt to commended that all the ordinances of the convention be in substance the same as those adopted hy the Mississippi convention. “ A despatch from Columbia states that the secession ordinance was repealed in the South Carolina Convention om Thursday last without debate on the matter.

Cawpeverate anv Stare Depts.— It is reported that the Alabama Restoration State Convention has, by a vote of fifty-eight to thirty-five, decided to recognize the obliga- tions ot the State incurred in her debts con- tracted in the interest of the late rebellion. This ise very absurd proceeding. President Johneon, in his proclamation of May 9, for tho re-establishment of the sovereign authority of the Union over the State of Virginia, declares that “all acts and proceedings,” military, civil and political, State or Confederate, done in the interest, ‘of the late rebellion, “are null and vold.”, This carries away into oblivion the rebel State debt of Alabama, with the rebol Confederate sorip of Jeff. Davis. There is no SS News from Mississippi. BANQURT TO GENERAL SLOvUM— FAIRS—THS COMING ELECTION, RTC. ‘Vicasnvna, Sept. 16, 1866. to.
