JAMES DIXON, T. A_ HENDRICKS. DANIEL 8. NORTON. J. W. NESMITH. IN REGARD TO THE MEXICAN MUDDLE. Some singular developments in regard to the meyer muddle will not unlikely appear within a short eed Secretary Seward has been playing a shrewd and deep gamo with Napoleon and Maximilian, the results of which are yet to appear, and the ‘uccess of which is @entingent upon the nerve to be displayed by Maxi- milian, Upon tho authority of prominent Senators I fam enabled to anticipate the development of Mr. Sew. fard’s intrigues, and can now give you the officially ecepted version of the plan, It is stated by pro- t™inent members of tho United States Senate” om & fact that Mr. Seward has concluded « @eeret treaty or compact with Napoleon, by the terms of which the United States is debarred from interfering with the movement of the foreign troops Bow supporting Maximilian on bis temporary throne. Mapoleon’s pian for the withdrawal of the French troops ts not to be questioned. Under the alleged secret treaty (his is not effected; but in the meantime, previous to the withdrawal of theso troops, the United States \s to persue a policy of strict nonintervention in Mexican affairs, Maximilian, being left thas untrammetied, Is to bandon temporarily his schemes for the eptab| siment @f an empire, and, with the assistance of his army and guch repecade Mexicans as have allied themselves to DEVELOPMENTS the me ae several dra and his Serimnen, “ecome a candidate for the fs “deel rapa. which, under simi- lar infueP.2es, 16 chose exerted by Napoleon in securing the Pr’sicency of the mock French republic, he will Tyerve Uttle difficulty im securing, This, then, will give ‘Maximilian control of » nominal republic on this contt- nent, and will obviate many of the difficulties and em- barrassments arising under bis presont anomalous posi- tion in that eountry. The advocacy and adoption of the Monroe doctrine by the United States government will be impotent to affect his position as President. This is the first step in the programme, The second is easily guessed, It is simply to follow Na poleon’s example, and om securing the paci- fication of the country under # republican form of government, and, winning the confidence of the peo- ple, by agrand coup d'état, declare himself Emperor, and establish his power under more favorable auspices than now present themselves, All this is believed to bo aplan to which Mr. Seward has assented. It will be perceived that its successful accomplishment deponds almost solely upon the possession by Maximilian of courage and steadiness, It is yet to be seen whether he possesses these qualities to a sufficient extent to insure success, It is not altogether improbable that the Senate will at an early day call upon Mr, Seward for informa- tion in regard to this plot, Such @ proceeding has already been hinted at. PROSPECTS OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. Governors Swann, Cox and Morton are understood to be in no haste in convening their respective Legislatures to act on tho constitutional amendments and to havo signified the same to the President. Tennessee men now here doubt whether Governor Brownlow can get a quorum together in any reasonable time. THE SOUTHERN HOMESTEAD BILL APPROVED. The President has approved the bill for the disposal of the public lands for homestead actual settlement in the States of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Florida; “and also the bill appropriating $358,500 to reim- burse the State of West Virginia for moneys expended in enrolling, equipping and paying the military forces to aid in suppressing the rebellion, THE FISHERIES. Sir Frederick W. A. Brace, the British Minister to this government, by an official note of the 24th instant ad- dressed to the Secretary of State, announced that the governments of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have agreed that the possession of a license issued by Canada to fish shail entitle the holder, during the season of 1866, to fish in the waters of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, as wellas in those of Canada; the holder of a license from the government of Nova Seotia or New Brunswick, if any such shail be issued, being entitled to fish in Canadian waters. This notification is supplemen- tal to one issued early in June, in whieh it was stated that R. Potter, Esq. (P. Fortier, Baq., ia the correct name), commanding the Canadian government vessel, La Canadienne, employed in protecting the fisheries, was authorized to issue fishery Ucenses on the payment of fifty cents per ton measurement of the vessel to which they were granted, to remain in foree during the Season, and conferring the same rights, so far as the Ca- nadian fisheros were concerned, as wer) conferred by the Reciprocity treaty on United States flehermon. THE NAVAL OFFICR AT NEW YOuK The appointment of Naval Officer of the Port of fh New York is still held in abeyance. Thurlow Weed left today for New Yé« having, it is said, secured assurances that the appoint ment would not be immediately made. It now appears that Weed bas bad no candidate, but simply came bere to defeat Hillyer or make terma with bim, neither of which was accomplished, Hiilyer ie still ahead, though Weed gains time to rally his friends and organize on a candidate. Collector Smythe has pre- sented the name of Colonel Wood, of Brooklyn, as a candidate, though with no great prospect of succers, The friends of General John A. Dix have also presented bis name, though this is understood to be without the Gen eral’s knowledge or consent, It is also stated that Gea- eral Daniel & Sickles i# a candidate, THE NEW YORK BANKERS AND Coraness, Acommitiee of New York bankers will be ia the city to-morrow for conference with the Comptroller of the Cur ency and members of Cougross in reference tw the subject of par redemptions, government taxation of bank stocks, business, &c., and such other matters as are legitimate subject of legialation. MESSAGE FROM THE FRESIDENT IN RELATION TO THE ARREST AND IMPRISONMENT OF AMBRICAN CITIZENS IN IRELAND. The President to-day sent tothe House a message, in answer to a resolution calling for information in regard to the arrest and imprisonment, in Ireland, of American citizens, enclosing a report from the Secretary of *tate upon the subject, The latter says he has the honor to subjoin a list of the names of all aged citizens of the United States who, according to the information in the department, have been arrested since the recent suspen- sion of the Habeas Corpus act in that country. Pursu- ant to the instructions of the department, the United States Minister at London and consuls of the United States in Ireland have made such representation to the British authorities in regard to the cases of persons that they have been released, except two, who were held for trial upon grounds supposed to be sufficient by the jadi cial authorities. It is believed, however, that in conse. quence of the aforesaid representations even the two persons referred to, one of whom is a Colot have been set at liberty before the present time. The following are the names of those held tn arrest in Dablin:—Maurice McGrath, Lieutenant Colonel John W, Byron, late Major of Eighth New York Volnnioers; George Archdeacon, Michael O'Bierle, late captain in Sixty-ninth New York Volgnteers; Timothy D. McEnity, John Fouvring, Burke Kirnan McDonald, James Bible, late captain in United States army; Jobn A.

Maekers, native of Pennsylvania; Edward Morley, native of Pennsylvania; Cornelivs Healy, Thos. Hynes, Reid in arrest at Belfast :—Captain O'Byrne, John Dunn. Held at Cork :—Joln McCimperty, aative of Ohio; James Daniels. Held at Tipperary:—Thomas E. Blackwell. PROPOSED INVESTIGATION OF CILARGES OF ALLEGED ARBITRARY DMPKISONMENT BY THE WAS DEF ART- MENT. Somo severe charges were made to-day, on the floor of the House, against an annamed Bureau of the War De- partment, upon which a special Committee of tuvestiza- tion was appomted, with authority to send for persons and papers, It appears that a private soldier, on detailed duty at the headquarters of some of the brigades of our army, at Andersonville, Ga., Inst summer, took the trouble to make a list of all federal soldiers boried there, and mark their graven On the return of the soldier to this city he loaned the list eo made to a party here who paid him several han- dred doliars for the privilege of copying it, but never re- turned the original. The War Department, or- some bureau thereof, demanded the list, and in default of ob taining it arrested the soldier, tried, convicted bim and vent him to prisom for aterm of years. An appeal was made to the President in bis behalf, who referred the case to the Burean of Military Justice, That Bareas returned the appeal to the President, recommending non-intervention in the matter, The case now comes up on @ numerously wigned petition to Congress from the friends and neighbors of the soldier. THE DISLOYALTY CASK OF M’GHAW VS. CLEPHANE— THE LATTER MULCTRD IN THE SUM OF THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS. In the Cireait Court for this district an action was brought by McGhaw against Mr. Clephace to recover damages for an alleged libellous pobii-ation, charging the plaintiff with disloyalty and with being secession sympathizer, &e., alleged to have been written and delivered to Mr. Dans, then Asristant Secretary of War. The plaintiff, at the time, was in the employ of the War Department, and was dismissed from gach employment io consequence of Mr. Clephane’« lotter. The case hasbeen brought to «close, the jary awarding damages to Mr McGhaw in the sum of §3,000. PRIZE MONRY.

Mr, Hexvuicns, (dom.) of Tnd., after discussion, with- drew his amendment, Tomarkiig that he woald offor — of like purport at the next session of Con- .) of R. ¥., moved to amend the bill 80 ra to make tary of War, and not the Quartor- master or atria er General, the accounting officer in the claims referred to. Mr. Howanp, (rep.) of Mich., said the bill was very sweoping, and’ would involve groat outlay, He asked if the Committee on the Judicury had inquired how much money would be taken out of tho Treasury under this ir. Ponawn said the committee had not made that in- quiry. No matter what the amount was, he thought the government ought to pay it, It only contemplated the payment of loyal men. Mr. Howanp hoped the bill would not pass. The se! ure of propperty in the South was one of the necessitios of the War, and the law of nations compelled rebel com- ra munities as well as rebels to pocket their losses, It was vain to paxpect that the loyal people of the United States would bear any part of such losses, Mr. Trempunt, (rop.) of II, sald he would oppose as strongly as Mr. Howard tho payment of rebola; bat he would not oppose the payment of loyal men, and only such were proposed to be paid by this bill Mr. Howarp said h» was opposed to paying anybody in the rebel States, loyal or disloyal. Mr. Trumnuns thought a loyal man in the South ought to be paid even more promptly than a loyal man in the North. Mr. Howanp said that by solemn acts of Congress the eleven States of the South had been ceclared enemies of the United States. There was no case tn history in which | a successfal invading party had paid for stores taken from an enemy. Mr, Trowmcrt said he had never heard before of a statute of the United States declaring the people of the South to be public enemies, He bhnd never voted for such abil. He had voted for a bill declaring certain States to be in insurrection, but not declaring the tnlabl- tants of these States, one and all, to be public enemies. Mr. Witson said that under the pending b ory man in the South would prove his loyalty, and the effect would be to take a great many million dollars out of the Treasury. .
