GENS. GRANT AND PEMBERTON.

New York, July &—The Tribune has the fol- lowing special despatch, dated Chickasaw Bayou, Friday, July 3d, via Cairo July 7th:—

Vieksburg isours. Firing from our front ceased this morning, pending negotiations fer a surrender Which have occupied the greater part of the day.

‘The ouly contested point touching the surrender has been in reference to what shall be done with Gen. Pembertou's army. He asks and demands, that while the surrender is uuconditional in other respects, the garrison which has so long and so hervically resisted our army, shall be spared un- necessary humiliation, and shall be paroled in Vicksburg. ‘This will be probably conceded from motives of expediency alone, and not as a conci- lation, as it will save ao immense expenditure for transportation and subsistence.

Gen. Grant and Pemberton had a long private interview, at the latter's request, ia relation tothe surrender, before it was determined.

Officers aceompanying the flag of truee indicate, by their conversation, that all that has been written and published in the North, coneernmg the suffer- ing of the rebels in Vicksburg, has been but half the truth.

‘There are about 25,000 people in Vicksburg, 10,000 ef whom are efficient soldiers. Our army Will take possession on to-morrow morning.

The surrender is just in time to save the armies from the loss and destruction of life which would have attended an attempt to carry the works of the enemy by storm, as such an attempt had been determined oo for toemerrow morning.

Not having been allowed an inside view before the departure of the despateh boat, I cannot give such interesting details as may be desired. Col. Markland, of the special Post Office de rtment, will op the oth establish a Post Office ip V icksburg,

there was the report of a great battle at Wil- liamsport, Gn the banks of the Potomae, in which the Federals were said to have achieved another brilliant victory ; but later information assures us that there was no battle there at all!

| Mr. Maguire presented a strong case in favour of an inquiry imto the coudition of Ireland on} | Tuesday. The faets and figures he quoted are | incontestable, and they go to show that Ireland | has had more than hershare of misfortune during }the past three years. The Legislation of 1860, whieh was intended to be a settlement of the! Tenant Right question, has proved to be a failure. | | lu fact, Ireland is not yet out of the Feudal state, | aud her landlords are as oppressive aud care as litle for the trae prosperity of the people as did | the Englishmen who some four hundred years ago | lorded it over us in England. Ilreiand has not} with her, as we have, great tewns which | the seats of great mdustries, and the people, devoted te agriculture, have not passed out of the | state of seridom from which Englishwen have | emerged, and which Seotehmen never What Irishmen really want is an adjustment of the law between landlord and tenant, which will ‘give to the industrious tenant some interest in the prosperity of the land he farms, apart from the crops he can reap in every year. We dare j}say very much is demanded in the interest of ten- fants which goes to shock the senses of political /eeonomists; byt when we find Ireland net only not going forward in the path of imprevewent, but absolutely declining, it is time for thinking men to jask what are the canses of such a state of things, | There is a decrease in the population—one of the | | worst indications of mistertune in any country; | jthe number of farms held in occupation has also | deereased; and the men who courageously struggle on can only confess te losses, whilst the agricultu- ral steck ia the country follows the same law of decrease which applies to the human population. It is not worth while to inquire who isto blame for all this. What we have to deal with are the facts of the present, and se, like true politicians, get the question far removed trom the region of passion and the excitemeut of party. We may lament that our statesmen have net dealt with Irish questions with sagacity and prescience. | Perhaps it has been really so, but the daty is now cast upon us no longer to regard this as a pro-| vineial question, but one which conceras [mperial interests. If Irishmen teel that English politicians do not understand the causes at the present po- sition of Ireland, let them appeal to the people of | England. We have seen how carefully the people of Lancashire have been provided for, and Irishmen inay rely upon Kuglishmen ta do them justice if! ouly they bring forward a practicable remedy. | | The fault of Irish advocacy, is that clever, eloquent, | and fervid as it is, it never does more than attempt | | te damage the Cluef Seeretary in power. What | England wants to hear from Ireland is a clear} voice, pointing out a remedy, awl despising the | delays of a Roya!

There is no doubt that there has been a great deal of fight- ing and very considerable carnage upon both sides; but there is no reason to believe that the Southerners have been very seriously crippled, or their movements very much impeded by the late engagements. The practice of thus falsifying the telegrams is very disgraceful, and must redound to the injury af the Union cause. The object is, ne doubt, to create an jipression in Europe, as the false telegrams most abound ebout the time of the departure of the English Mail; but people generally on both sides of the Atlantic now place little dependonce on the telegrams; and we think it would be no loss if the telegraphic offices were shut up, at least so far as the transmission of war news is concerned.

The ill-fated and heroic city of Vicksburg has at last fallen. That event we have long looked for; the surprise is, net that at has fallen, but that if made such a protracted and brilliant defence.

While censuring the conduct of the Brazilians towards the British and naval offi- cers, whom the guard in a wilt mountain district arrested without sufficient cause, His Majesty has decided that the Brazilian Go- vernment did not insult the British Navy on the occasion, as the ollivers were not in uniform at the time, and were unknown to the Brazihan authorities.
