Washington, December 8, 1865.

--General Logan had an interview to-day with the President and Secretary of State. He expressed his desire to go to Mexico, if he could be assured that our policy toward Mexico would be changed, but declared his unwillingness to go unless the Government intended to extend some substantial aid to the Liberals. The President informed him that he could not give him such assurance. Mr. Seward added that our policy of neutrality toward Mexico would, for the present, remain unchanged. Whereupon General Logan definitely refused the Mexican mission. The matter was discussed in the Cabinet meeting to-day, and it was determined not to appoint any one else in place of General Logan.

Notwithstanding the belligerent tone of the message toward England, there is no expectation of war with that Power.--Special dispatch to the New York News.
