LATEST MEWS BY TELEGRAPH TO THE l'OBTLASD DAILY PRESS. Saturday Morning, July 4, 1868, ANDREW BID FOB THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION. By the President of the United States, a Proclamation: Whereas, in the month of July, A. 1861, in accepting the condition of civil war brought about by insurrection and rebellion in several of the States which constitute the Union, both Houses did solemnly decree that war was not waged on the part of the government in any spirit of oppression for any purpose of con quest or subjugatiou, for any purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institulions of the States, but only to detend aud maintain the supremacy of the Constitution of the United States, and to preserve th; Uniou with all the dignity and rights of the several States uuinipaired, and that as soon as these objects should be accomplished the war on the part of the government should cease; and Whereas, the President of the United Slates has heretofore, in the spirit of that declaration and with a view of securing for it ultimate and complete effect, sent forth several proclamations ottering amnesty and pardon to persons who had been, or were concerned in the aforenamed rebellion, which proclamations, however, were amended with prudential reservations and exceptions then deemed necessary and proper, aud which proclamations were respectively issued on the 8th day of December, on the 26th of March, 1864; ou the 29th day of May, 1865 aud on the 7th day of September, 1867; and Whereas, said lamentable civil war lias long since altogether ceased, with an acknowledgment by all States ol the supremacy of the Federal Constitution and of the government thereunder, and there no longer exists any reasonable ground to apprehend a renewal ol said civil war or any foreign interference or any unlawful resistance by any portion of the people any of the States to the Constitution and laws of the United States; aud Whereas, it is desirable to reduce the standing army, aud to bring to a speedy termination tne military occupation, martial law, military tribunals, abridgement ol freedom of speech and press, and suspension of the privilege of habeas corpus, and ot the right of trial bv jury, such encroachments upou our free institutions in time of peace being dangerous to the public liberty, incomputable with the individual rights of the citizen, contrary to the genius and spirit of our republican form of government aud exhaustive ol the national resources; and Whereas, it is believed that amnesty and pardon will tend to secure the complete and universal establishment and prevalence of municipal law and order, in conformity with the Constitution of tbe United States, and to remove all appearances and presumptives of a retaliatory o. vindictive policy on the part ol TfiS'govermnent, attended by unnecessary dis2ualification, pains, penalties confiscations and isfrancbiseinents, and on the contrary to promote and procure complete aud fraternal reconeilia'ion among the whole people, with due submission to the Constitution and Now, therefore, be it known that Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, do by virtue of tbe Constitution aud in the name ot the people of the United States, hereby proclaim and declare unconditionally and without reservation, to all and to every person who particinated directly or indirectly in tbe late insurrection or rebellion, excepting such person or persons as may be uuder presentment or iudicimeut in any court of tbe United having competent jurisdiction, upon a charge of treason or other felonv, a full pardon and amnesty for offences ol treason against the Uni States, or of adhering to their enemies during the late civil war, with the restoration of all rights of property, except also to any property of which any person may have been legally divested uuder the laws of the United Slates.

In testimony whereot I have signed these presents with my hand and have caused to be hereunto affixed the seal of tbe United States Done at the City of Washington the fourth day ot Jnly, iu the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eiglit, and of the independence of the United States ot America the 93d.

New London, July City of Boston, of the Norwich line, from New York, was run into last niglu by the steamer State of New York of the Hartford line, at about 10 45 off the mouth of the Connecticut river, producing serious damage to the firet named boat and injuring quite a number of passengers, and it is feared involving the loss of three lives.

The (Tty of Boston was struck amidships, carrying away hwr wheel-house and upper works in the vicinity of the wheel-house and demolishing live state-rooms. A dense fog prevailed at the time. The escape from great los6 of life is qu.te providential, as both boats were crowded with passengers. The City of Boston was relieved by the steamer City of New London, which remained by the disabled boat until half-past 2 this morning, taking off passengers and baggage of the City of Boston. She was left partly on her side, anchored, and will be towed in at once.

Assist- anee was offered by the steamers of the Stonington and Norwich line. Old boatmen pronounce this the most remarkable escape from great loss of life within their recollection. The officers of the steamer City of New London are entitled to great praise for their devotion to the interests of the passengers of the disabled boat. The probable loss to the City of Boston is $75,000. lhe loss to the State of New York is slight.

Huzeltine, agent of the Sanford line of steamers, who received a contusion over the left eye, his right arm slightly injured and being internally seriously injured, GEORGIA.

H1EX1CO. OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT OF A BRITISH NAVAL OFFICER. San Francisco, July from Mazatlan to of June report that seiious difficulty had occurred between commander Bridge of the English war steamer Chanticleer and the Mexican authorities at tuat The Chanticleer, it is said, was in a perilous situation off the coast and fired signal guns for assistance. A pilot went out and released the ship from her position of danger, but the commander of the steamer refused to pay the pilot for his services and proceeded to mazatlan. The Collector of the port of Mazatlan was notified that one of the officers of the British war steamer was engaged in conveying specie on hard to avoid export duty, and caused his urrest.

The person was searched and a quantity of gold found upon him. The Capt nn of i he Chanticleer ame ashore and in a very excited manner declared that his vessel and himself had been insulted by indignity offered to his subordinates. High words fallowed which culminated in the arrest ana search ol the person of lh British Commander by order of the Collector, who asserted his suspicion that the Commander was also implicated in smuggling specie on board of nis vessel. Captain Bridge then want on board of the Chanticleer and notified the inhabitants of Mazatlan that lie was about to bombard that city for the insult offered to the English flag. The proclamation of hostility caused great excitement and numerous communications in writing passed between Captain Bridge, General Corona and the civil Authorities.

the U. Consul, Mr. Session, acting as mediator, ultimately induced the British Commander to modify his proclamation so as to place the port of Mazatlan under blockade, ho far as Mexican vessels were concerned, until he could receive orders from the British admiral commanding in his station. American and other foreign vessels would not be interfered with. It is asserted that the action of General Corona and the Mexican Authorities is approved by foreign residents generally.

I he U. S. war steamer Suwanee had left Acepulco for Mazatlan to protect American interests in that place. The U. S.

steamer liesaca was at La Faso on the 21st of June Additional advi from Mexico state that Commander Bridge at first demanded that the officer who searched the person of his subordinate and seized the money, should be sent on board the Chanticleer, to be dealt with as the Commander saw fit. General Corona replied that sooner than submit to such an outrage he would allow the city to be bombarded, and telling him in indignant language that if he had reclamation to make he should make it in the manner customary with civilized nations and through the proper channels.
