The Correspondence Between the Governments of the United States and Great Britain. A Ute number of the Manchester Express con tains a considerable portion of the correspon dence between Mr. Seward and Lord Stanley on the subject of the Alabama claims, particularly with reference to the matter of arbitration. In Anjrust, 18G0, Mr. Seward Bent a long letter to Lord Stanley, and in bis letter of Instruction to Mr. Adams requested him to inform Lord Stan ley that, in ' the judgment of the Fresident, a settlement of these claims " had become urgently necessary to a re-e6tabllshment of en tirely friendly relations between tbo United States and Great Britain." The following are the closing . letters of the correspondence : MR. BE WARD TO MB. -ADAMS, Department of State, Washington, Auar. 12. Sir: I have now to recur to Lord Stanley's despatch lo Sir Frederick Wright Bruce, of the 24 tb of May, concerning the so-called Alabama claims, a copy of which paper he placed in my hands during our recent visit at Auburn. You are authorized to inlorm his Lordship that I did not understand his previous oner of arbitration to apply alone to toe claims arising out ot the depredations of the Alabama, to the exclusion ot those arising out of the depreda tions ot the Florida, the Shenandoah, the Georgia, and other vessels of that description; and that, on the contrary, Lord Stanley's oiler of limited arbitiation was understood to apply equally to thone claims arising out of the depre dations of the several vessels last named as to those arising out of the depredations of the Ala bama. Bis lordship now observes that the British Government is ready to go to arbitration upon the question whether, in the matters connected with all those vessels out of whose depredations the claims of American citizens have arisen, the course pursued by the British Government and those who acted upon its authority was such as would involve a moral responsibility on the part of the British Government to make good, either in whole or in part, the losses ot the American citizens. The PieMdent considers tnee terms to be at once comprehensive and sufficiently precise to include all the claims ot American citizens for depredations npon iheir commerce, during the late Rebellion, which have been the subject of complaint upon the part of this Government. But thejtfnited States Government, in this view, would deem itself at liberty to Insist before the arbiter that the actual proceedings and relations of the Britith Government, its oflicers, agents, and subjects, towards the United States in re gard to the Rebellion and the Rebels, as they occurred during the Rebellion, are among the matters which are connected with the vessels whose depredations are complained of, just as In the case of penernl claims alluded to by Lord Stanley, the actual proceedings an 1 relations of her Majesty's Government, its officers, agents, and subjects in regard to the Rebellion and the Rebels, are necessarily connected with the transactions out of which, those general claims arose. il Lord Stanley's plan seems to be to constitute two descrip'ions of tribunals one an arbiter to determine the question of the moral responsi bility of the Bmisb Government lo respect of the Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and other ves sels of that class; and the other mixed Commis sion to abjudicate the so-called general claims of both sides; and a contingent reference to the eame or other mixed commission, to asceitain and determine the amount of damages, for in demnity, to be awarded in the cases examined by the first tribunal in the event of a decision, tipon the question ot moral responsibility, in iivnr of the United States. No distinction, as to principle, between the tribunals seems to the United States to be neces sary: and In everv case the united states aiiree onlv to unrestricted arbitration. Convenience mav reauire that the claims should be distri buted between two tribunals, both of which, however, in the opinion of the United States, should proceed upon the same principles and tat Hotbed with the same nowers. The President will be gratified If this explana tion shall conduce to remove any oi tne aiin rultles which have heretofore prevented the two Governments from coming to the amicable and (nendly understanding and arrangement which is so sincerely desired by eotb. I am, sir, jour obedient servant, William H. Sewaro Charles Francis Adams, Esq., etc. etc. etc. LORD STANLEY TO BIB FREDERICK BRUCE. Forrton Opficb. Mav 24. Sir: I abstained in my despatch No. 99, of the 2d instant, from Tiinkintr anv observations on tho eommunioa tion from Mr. Adams, to which that despatch referred, in the expectation that I might re reive from vou some further explanation, as eiven bv vou to Mr. Seward, of the views of thA American Government on tl is subicct. T a. t 1 Vi -i n was! tVtm nin f mnaf trtn 1 n A a that Mr. Seward has .ot made jou acquainted with the nature of bts reply, seot inrougn Air. Adama. to vour communication o him of rnv despatch, No. 64. of the th of March. I have nothing, therefore, bevond the brief statement niade to me by M r. Adams, to guide me In deal ing with Mr. Seward s reply, in that reply Mr. hpward aavs clearlv enouutt tbat the dovern nient of the United Htates cannot consent to a pner.ial and oeculiar limitation of arbitration in regard to the Alabama claims, such as Her Ma iestv' Government sui'geet; but, from hid next observation, it rutaht be inferred that the offer. as rt-enrds arbitration, made bv Her Maiestv's Government, in mv despatch of the 9th of March, was understood to have applied only to claims arisine out of the proceedings of the Alabama, to the exclusion ol those arising out er the like proceed ngs of the Florida, Shenan doah. and Georgia. It is important to clear up this point, and you will therefore state to Mr. feeward tbat tho offer to go to arbitration was not restricted to the claims ariBiug out of the proceedings of the Alabama, but applied equally to thoe arising out of the like pioceediuiH of the other vessels that I have named. In the words of my despatch vi tuo uriu, me matter at lsi'e between ine two uovernmeuts on which Great Britain was ready to go to arbitration, was "whether, In the matters connected with the vessels out ot whose depiedations the claims of American Citizens have arisen, the course pursued bv the British Government, and by those who ariar! . under its autboitty, was such as wculd involve a moral retponnbilitv on the nnrt ,.t k i...;u Government to make good, either tn whole or f tn nrtstat Hi.airikhl that KA .. misunder6taodlng on this point, but Inasmuch as Mr. Seward savs that the Cover 4 la ujvow v' ftuw luvir Iklllllrl trt HA United States cannot (rive anv preference in Alabama claims over others in regard to the form nf arhitmrnent sueiiested. vou mav li Reward tbat there was no intention on the part of ber Majesty's Government to give any such preference to the Alabama claims over claims iu i hi I. lid. t a.U'uc.1 I. That some srieh misapprehension exists on the part of Mr. Sewurd may, Indeed, be further deduced from his statement that while the Government of the United State aeree that all mutual claims which arose during the civil war between citizens and subjects of the two coun tries ought to be amicably and speedily ad justed, they must insist that they be adjusted by one and the same tribunal, with like and the eame forms, and on principles common to all. Now, tho question of disposing of general claims in contradistinction to the specific claims arising out of the proceedings of the Alabama and vessels of that clas, has not hitherto been matter of coutroversy between the two Govern ments, but has been mooted in its present shape by her Majesty's Government alone; and there is no such similarity between the two clashes of claims as would adroit of their being dealt with by the same process. It may be. however, and her Mtesty's Govern ment would gladly learn that it was the case, that the Government of the United States agree to waive the question of the alleged premature recognition of belligerent rights, and are satis fied to co to arbitration on the first or Alabama class of claims, provided that all claims what ever, on either side, arising out of the events of the war, are equally submitted to arbitration, so "that they may be adjusted by one and the same form ot tribunal, with like and the same forms, and on principles common to all." This, however, from the nature of things, is impracticable. The one class on tbo specltic claims, such as those arising out of the procee I irgs of the Alabama and such vessels, depends tor their settlement ou the solution of what may be called an abstract question, namely, "whether, in the matters connected wi'.h the vessels out of whose depredations the claims of American citizens have arisen, tne course pur sued Dy the British Government, ana those who acted under its authority, was such as would involve a moral responsibility on the part of the British Government to make good, either in whole or in part, the losses of American citi zens;" the other, or general .class, of claims admire or no such narrow restriction. The number of claims in this class on either side may be great, the circumstances of each more or less different, and the points involved in them complicated in their nature and bearing: and on these grounds alone it is obvious that ihey cannot, like those of tho Alabama class. be comprised within a single proposition appli cable in principle to all, and bringing all within ine compass oi a sin tie division or au arbiter. 'the reply which Mr. Seward will return to your communication of this despatch will, it may be hoped, clear up the obscurity which rests upon the answer received through Mr. Adams to my despatch ot the 9th of March. Her Majesty's Government, jou will say, abide by their proposals as set forth in that despatch. Within tho limits set forth in this despatch they are prepared to bo to arbitration in regard to the Alabama, and such like claims, on the condition that, simultaneously with the reierence of those claims to arbiiration. an agreement is entered into between the two Gov ernments for the adjustment of general claims by a mixed commission.

Sickles, formerly In command of the Second Military Dis trict of the United States, arrived in this city on Monday morning by the steamship Manhattan, from Charleston, S. C. The General was accom panied by his daughter, servants, Colonel E. W. Dennis, Judge-Advocate, and Captain J. W. Clous, A. A. A. G., both gentlemen bein? mem bers of the General's BtatX. General 8tckles, who has been removed from his command by the President of the United States, for some reason unknown to the General, is stopping at the Brevoort Ilouse, awaiting orders from Wash ington. On his arrival in this city Geueral Sickles went directly to the Brevoort nouse, where a suite of rooms had been engaged for him, and after receiving a number of calls, the visitors calling as a testi mony of respect to the General fOT the nonorame ana siaiesroaniiKe course pursued by him during his administration of the Second Military District of the South, he made a hasty call upon his lather and mother in Abingdon Square. The General is in excellent health, atthouen De una a very Doisrerous passage irorn Charleston to this city. The General wore the undress unitorm oi Lis rank in the army, and looks exactly as he did on the memorable day of Gettjtburg, when doing his duty gtllautly,"his ngbi leg was shot to pieces, and as he did at Chance) lorsville, when with his Third Corps he stajed the rout of the Union array, and restored orocr ana organization 10 a tumul tuous chaos of fugitives. There is the same coo), calm eye, well cut chin, stern eildierl.v face, and cropped military hair, n-auScs him a periect type ot the trench Infan try officer, so well known in Vernet's aud Char- rentier's pictures ot Game military me. During the day a number of distinguished gen tlemen called upon the General to renew old intimacies and friendihips, and to testify approbation of his lute career as a soldier and citizen. All parties and shades of publlo opinion were represented among the visitors. There was John B. Has kin's burly form, bluff, manly voice, well known as a leader in the Democratic ranks, the fragile form and full face of William M. Kvarts, the cruelly quiet face of Major-General Daniel Bntteffield, formerly in command of the Twentieth Corps, Generals Sbarbam and Brew ster, both of whom at one time commanded Sickles' Excelsior Brigade, General Tremalne, and a number ot other distinguished gentlemen. The General received his visitors in a quiet, un assuming manner, without any pretense or nt tempt at demOLStratlon. General .Sickles desires to have it known that he does not see notoriety or public display, aud intends durins his sia? in the city to remain perfectly quiet and retired Irom public observation. The Union General uoniinittee held a meeting last evening to take measures for the reception of General Sickles. There was a very laree attendance, Mr. Charles S. Spencer, the Chair man ot the Committee, presiding, and Mr. Wil liam Druinmond acting as Secretary of the meeting. Mr. Spencer, who had lust returned from Europe, made a lew briet remarks in rein tion to the obiect lor which the meeting had been called. Mr. Spencer commended warmly the patriotic conduct of General Sickles during his official career in Charleston, describing at some length the defense and protection yielded bv him to the suueriiiK aud persecuted Union ists of the South, and denounced Mr. Johnson for his baneful and shameful violation of the fundamental law of the United States Govern ment, which was calculated to throw the peat republic into contempt all oyer tbe world, if the American people any longer permitted htm to ithout hindrance. Colonel Fred rick A. Conkling then offered the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted bv the meeting: r-.i,r Tht Matnr-tieneral DaolelE.filcklei.br Ills metnorauie rectiru aud bv hl aole tn.

Spencer, Alexander McLcod, William C. Hanna, William H. AlcKinley, and Council man Thomas, waited npon General Sickles at his rooms in tbe Brevoort House, for the pur pose of making known to the General the action of the Union General Committee. The Com mittee found General Sickles at home, and on sending in their cards, tho Committee were ad mitted to the presence of the GcBeral, when Mr. Spencer introduced them, each by name, to General Sickles, who shcok hands with them all. Mr. Spencer then addressed General Sickles as follows: General Blcklen: As a committee appointed by the Union Central Committee, we have the honor of wait ing upon you. The Union Central Committee ol this city ban this evening met and panned resolutions hlKhly eulogistic of you, both as a soldier and a civi lian, and direclluK!tlieApKlntment of this committee to invite you to address the Union people of this city upon the political s'aie of theoounlry. A committee bns also been appointed to prepare and publiHb an address to the people In relation to your record and removal. We ask you to address the people at the Cooper Institute at such time as you sliull select. As friends of yours, we du not expect, and shall not ask you to speak as an exponent of our pecullnr political vim s: b'U merely In vindication ct your admlnlttra- tlnn and policy ns the Cnmmunder of thetteojud Military District ol the South. Geueral Sickles replied: Gentlemen: -I need not assure you or the pleasure le d In receiving you, ana tue Kruiilicailon I durlve tn the assurance yon give me that my course has met tvith toir approbation. I will prepare to take Into consideration the polite oiler you have made me to meet m y lellt w-cltlr.crs, jt Is not poxnlble for me at th is n oment to signify my formal acceptance of this oUer. I have taken steps to ascertain from the Gov ernment the particular grounds of accusation which have prompted my removal. Feuding tbe formal answer to my communl allon, It would not be proper for me to dismiss (In a puMIc ssnemhliiee) the men suies of my administration. But, I presume, at an entlyday. ft will he in my power to nntie a time when I can meet my fellow-citizens to discuss before them the questions that most Interest the country nt this time. As soon as It Is In my power to do so 1 will communicate witn you further. The Committee then, after some private con versation with the General, left the hotel. General Sickles at present holds the rank In the Kegular Army of Colonel of the 42d Infantry. Oueal Sickles stated last evening that he wished to avoid all public displays and recep tions while his case was bclore the Government tribunals. The oflicers and soldiers of the Excelsior Brl- cade, formerly commanded by General Sickles, held a meeting last evening at Masonic Hall, Thirteenth street, to make arraneemeuts tor a public reception and testimonial to be eiven to Geueral Sickles, their old commander. The meeting, after the transaction ot some unim portant business, adjourned to Thursday even ing, at the same place. A. F. Tribune. WASHINGTON GOSSIP. General Butler and the New Develop ments In Reference to the Impeach ment Plot Ills Story of the Transac tion with Sirs. Ilnnbanxa Washington. September 10. In these des patches recently allusion was made to certain forthcoming disclosures in reference to the plot to ooiain lmpeacnmeut evidence aeainst the President, and it was stated that an affidavit would be included, sbowlnc that Mrs. Dunham had icceived from General Butler $60, and woe reproached by the latter lor not having per formed the services lor which she had been engaged. In relation to this enbject, the fol lowing is given as General Butler's explana tion: While Conover was in jail in this city, a lady who boarded tn the house with Mrs. Dunham called on General Butler, and informed him that Mrs. Dunham had said her husband knew of the whereabouts of certain very important documents bearing on the assassination of President Lincoln, and subsequently a prentlemun, a boarder in tbe same House Willi lure, uuuunm, vuuic iu ucucxai Butler and reiterated this lnlormatton, stating, in addition, that Mrs. Dunham had said if she could get money sufficient to defray expenses of travelling sue could ooiain ine papers in ques tion. General Butler then said if Mrs. Dunham would bring to him a statement from her hus band setting forth the character of the docu ments he would enable her to get at them. Mrs. Dunham afterwards called on the General with the reauircd statement, and told him that the documents were in New York, to which place she would have to go for them, and that Mr. Dunham had fully instructed her how to proceed in order to obtain them. General Butler asked her how mucn money she would need for the purpose. She replied that as she would be obliged to have a companion sne wouio neea ntty aouars. xnis amount the General gave her, aud was assured by Mis. Dunham that she would start thtt eve ning. A day or two afterwards Mrs. Dunham again appeared before the General, stating that as some trouble had occurred at the jail she was unable to see ber nusoand, but brought a note from him explaining that be could not give her tbe directions necessary to get the papers. Then, as vou cannot go to New York," said tbe General, "you will not require the fifty dollars; so you had better return the money.' Airs, uunnam answered tbat she had not the money to return. General Butler then told nor he knew the money bad been used tor other purposes, and that she could not repay it. Mrs. Dunham was greatly astonished, aud asked the General now ce knew that she had made such use of the money. General Butler answered that he would tell her a story. He then related how, when he was in command of the Army of the James, he had a man to go into the Bebel lines and bring him an account of the Kebel iron cUds that were being built at Richmond; how tbe man returnee in three weeks with a budget of inte resting information, and how after the soy had told him his story, Butler had produced a detective who disclosed that the spy had gone from the army to Washington, where he re mained during the whole time, instead of going to Richmond; aiid finished by saying that he had him ornamented with a ball and chtin and set bim to dinging in Dutch Gap. The General then told her that bqo bad her answer; she might go; and she went. HT. Y. Herald. TEE D0MlN10 OF CANADA. A New Governor-General and New Commander-in-Chief A "Rouge" Klectlon Victory. Mon TR6AL, Sept. 10. Earl Mavo succeeds Lord Monck as Governor General of the Domin ion next June. General Charles Wlud Intra, known as "Redan" Windham, troni bavins led a succei-slul assault on the Redan, replaces Michel as Commander in-chiet of the army. His ap pointment will be officially announced this week. The Hnrl of Mayo belongs to the ancient house ot Claurlcarde, in Ireland, and the Earl dom is one of considerable influence. The family name is Bourse. I believe the peerage is now held by Richard Southwell Bourke, Lord Naas, who was Chief Secretary for Ireland durins the Fenian insurrection, and wai spoken of in connection with the Governor-Generalship of Canada before Lord Monck. His father (Robeit Bourse, Earl of Mayo) would be now about seventy years of ase, and, to the beat of my recollection, died a short time since. The families of tbe Bourses and Windhams that of tbe new Commander-in-Chief are related by marriage. Mr. Dooaiie has been elected to the Dominion Parliament by a ma loritj of twenty.

Fortress Monroe, Sept. 9. Stormy weather Erevailcd here jesterday, and to-day quite a eavy gale is prevailing outside from the south west. A laree neet ot vessels put into tbe roads for a harbor, but tbe wind changing more to the southward, they sailed for their destinations this morning. The Gosport Navy Yard is at present in a State of almost complete inactivity. The little work going on is confined principally to the machinists. The frigate Lancaster, which arrived from the Pacific squadron some months ago, is being completely overhauled, preparatory to being again put in commission. The Navy Department has decided to place Eames' percolator on board the United htates steamer Brooklyn an apparatus used to reduce tbe salt water used In the boilers to fresh. Among tbe improvements now belnir mate in the Ysrd is the construction of a large crane, which has been in course of erection since last May, which, with the exception of one in the Wafhintjton Navy Yard, will be the finest at any j ard in the coautry. It will be sixty-live feet nigh, ai.d calculated to lift sixty tonj, being designed to perform the work ot taking out boilers, heavy ordnance, etc. The following vessels are now at the Yard: Gunboats Seneca and Agawam, which have been condemned; gunboats Texas, Columbia, Albe marle, Mayflower, Wlnnepec, in ordinary; filgate Lancaster, repairing; frigate New Hamp shire, used as a receiving ship; gunboat Perrl winkle, ready to go in commission; frigate St., Lawrence, used as a marine barracks; and tug boats Miles StandUh and Jean Sands, used in towing around the harbor.

The people of Italy are greatly alarmed at the rapid progress of the cholera, and some singular superstitions come to light The villagers cherish the notion that evil-disposed persons inflict the disease upon the communities in which they live, and one of the briiran i chiefs goes a step further. According lo the folio wiug passage from a Florence Jetter, this Indignant person not only shares the prevailing supersti tion, but means to try a remedy: "A short time elnoe the Inhabitants nf Rosiano found the mowing proclamation, Iwiied by (he brlKand ch'ef talma, placarded on their walls: "I tuuku knowu to the proprietors aud prefect of this Place 1 hat.

Final Adjournment Declaration of Principle All Connection with the Present Political Parties of tnU Coun try Forbidden. Cleviland, Sept. 10. The Fenian Congress adjourned sine die last evening. A declaration of principles was adopted, it Is a calmly ex pressed, well written document, setting forth the wrongs that Ireland has endured and the reasons tbat entitle her to the world's sympathy. The God of nature intended Ireland to be a separate and Independent nationality, and the Fenian Brolhethood is to free her. The decla ration asks the public to regard the Brother hood fairly, and to Judge it solely by the con duel of its elected representatives, not by the standard of any Individual. Resolutions eulogistic of the late Thomas Fiancis Meagher were adopted one to the effect that any attempt to appropriate as the property of any clique his name and fame, which should be consecrated to Ireland and liberty, is unjust. Resolutions were likewise adopted favoring hearty co-operation with the friendly press, dis claiming and forbidding any use of the Brother hood for political purposes in connection with present parties in this country; of thanks to prominent citizens who aided in the rec ivery of the Fenian arms, and discountenancing any ap plication of fund except for the purchase of arms and other revolutionary purposes. The committee to nominate fifteen Senators reported the following names: Thomas La van, ol Ohio; James Gibbons, of Pennsylvania; T. J. Quinu, ot New York; Miles D. Sweeny, of Cali fornia; John Carlton, of New Jersey; F. B. Gal laiihcr, ot New York: P. W. Dunne, of Illinois: Kdward L, Carey, of New York; Patrick J. Mechan, of New Jersey; Peter Cunninarham, Michael Finne?an, J. C. O'Brien, and William Fleming, ot New York; James W. Fitzgerald, of Ohio; General John O'Neill, of the District of Columbia. Robert Buchanan' New Volumes. Mr. Robert Buchanan has a new volume of poems nearly ready, the majority of which are Scottish, the leading one being tbe story of "Meg Blane." a nsherwoman. It is followed by "Tbe Northern Wooing," a love story; "Tbe Battle ot Drumlie Moor," a wild song of the Covenanters, and one or mnre pieces the theme of which is the well-known Highland evictions, and tbe collection concludes with pieces of a miscellaneous nature, a number of which have seen the light in recent magazines. Mr. Bucha nan is a genuine poet, but he writes too rapidly, and in a vein which will not bear much work ing. He has a second volume in press, consist ing of a series of prose papers, beginning with a memoir oi David Gray, whom he has gloridel quite enough, and ending with several essays on tbe Enelish and American poets, and the art of poetry generally. Taking Time by the Forelock. TLey are a rapid people in Illinois, if a per son f poken of by a Western paper is a fair speci men. It announces that an enterprising me chanic at Champaign has built a bueey for the next President of tbe United States, whoever he may be. This is certainly a case ot the "Enterprise of the Future." How does the Champaign man know that the next President will have use lor a "buegy?" Perhaps he will prefer to ride horseback, or to drive four in hand, or even to walk. A "buEfty" is not a usual Presidential vehicle. Nobody has ever presented one of our Chief Magistrates with a "puegy." Why then a '-bugey t" Has the enterprising mechanic a prescient inkling of the next President's personality? If so, let him speak and enlighten the country. It will save a world of worry and fuss to know so long beforehand who Is to be tbe man. A Bravb Woman.
