NEW YORK, April 7th, 6 p. M.
The steamship Washington, from Southampton,
whence she sailed on the 10Th utlmo, was teIe-
graghed at 8 o'clock, and at O'Clock she landed
her mails.
The intelligence by this arrival--aIthough not
full of that thrilling interest which characterized
the advces by tho Caledonia--is highly important;
as it shows that tho ball which was put in motion
by France, is moving steadily onward.
The movements in Ireland afford unmlSakabIe
evidence of the feelings which have been aroused
by the revolution in France.
a monster meeting was called at Dublin on the
2Oh Of March, which caused great alarm, and
the government were sending troops and steamers,
and making every necessary preparation TO pre-
vent the proposed gathering.
Scotland and France quiet.
The provisional government had organized a
large force, with which it is the intention as is
generally supposed, to invade Austria.
The revolution in Vienna resulted most favor
ably, the emperor granting everything that the
people desired.
Hungary had declared herself Independent of
Austria.
1t was rumored that the emperor of Russia was
dead, but have yet seen nothing confrmatory of
the report.
The banks of France had suspended, and the
local banks which had been established, failed to
relieve the great monetary pressure, and Il
consequence, a large number Of heavy failures
had occurred.
The provisional government of France had
been recognized by the European governments
generally, thus approving of the act of their re-
spectve ministers.
English funds were mostly unaItered.

The EncaInaciOD Prisoners,

Our readers will remember that a short time
since, we published a communication from Maj.
BORLAND, relative to the Encarnacon prisoners,
in which some statements were made relative to
the seeming neglect with which the question OF
their rights had been treated by our Senatorial
Delegation.
The following correspondence will show that
no neglect can rightly be charged TO Senator
ASHLEY, and that every effort will be made by
him 10 procure speedy arrangement of the Just
claims of those who have suffered so much in our
country's cause.

on the part OF the Postmaster General TO abridge

The subject has been brought up in the Senate,

EMBEzzLEMENT.-I seems that Marvin McNul-

He was formerly respectable merchant, bu
failed, and then became a cusIom-house officer
and for the last five years was cashier of the
rouse he has robbed at salary of S5 900, with
privileges worth 50 600 more. He is Il widow.
