The Rebels have not sued for Peace


WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. – Mr. Cameron has not received his definite instructions yet is not contemplating an immediate departure to Russia.  No Secretary of the Legation has been appointed.  Green Clay still retains the place though now serving in Gen. Buell’s army.

Neither Jeff. Davis nor others have made any overtures to the Government concerning terms of submission or compromise.  The flag some time ago sent by Gen. Johnson to McClellan and also Howell Cobb’s interview with Gen. Wool, related solely to exchanging prisoners.  The above facts are derived from the best sources of information.
