Correspondence of the Baltimore SUM-

WASHINGTON, April 6, lS49.-The Cabinet
have determined to increase the Naval force in the
Mediterranean, in reference to the present state of
things in that quarter. The Mississippi is to be
sent out 1t was, at one time, proposed to send
also line of battleship, but frgates will probably
be substituted. Events are, perhaps, soon to prove
the value of Navy to this great commercial coun-
try. The fame acquired already by our Navy will
stand US in good stead when the hour for its further
trial shall arrive. II will serve to protect our COM
merce from spolation until we can send forth our
th9nders In new and formidable fleets.
FOR coast defence we have such ample means at
all times ready for application, that it needs no
preparation. But for the protection of our CONNER
clal interests abroad, we shall need. and in fact
now need, more ample provision.
The members of the Cabinet have. for some DAVIS.
refused to see any one-being much engrossed in
business, and in consultations They have MANY
things to decide upon, not to speak Of the all ab
sorbing question of removals and appointments.
Many stumbling blocks lie in their way, even now.
though they have not yet reached their principal
mpediments. When they come to questions of
protection, of finance, and Wimot proviso, their
troubles will begin. A strong party support could
sustain them; but it remains to be seen whether
they are to have such a support.
The tariff question is to be one of the stumbling
blocks. Mr.. Crawford is free-trade man, and
Mr.. Meredith, formerly supposed to be free-trade,
is pledged to advocate the overthrow of the tariff
OF 1896 and to the restoration of the principles of
the tariff Of 1872

New York, April I3.-The steamer Hermann
has arrived from Southampton, Eng, which place
she left on the 18th ult The Liverpool market has
changed but little. The Funds have advanced
slightly, while Consols remain as before. Produce
dull, and prices unchanged. The sales of Cotton at
Liverpool on the 26th, were $500 bales at firm prices

towns is improving, with an active Spring trade.
change of ministers was soon anticipated
AT London, a large amount of gold was expected
soon from California.
All the efforts made by France and England to
renew the armistice between Sardinia and Austria
had failed. Hostties would, it was supposed, be
recommended at an early period, and from all ap-
pearances they would be carried on with increased
vigor by both parties. Throughout all Europe the
popular sympathies were enlisted in favor of the
Italian cause; yet fears were entertained that
Charles Albert would be beaten by his powerful
enemy 1t was rumored that Austria meditaled a
direct attack, with large army, on Turin.
In Hungary, the Imperialists were not making
much Roadway against the Magyars. The Austrians
were several times beaten.
The proposition to appoint the King of Prussia
Emperor of Germany, which had been for some
time pending before the Frankfort Parliament was
finally rejected.
The King of Naples keeps his throne with great
difficulty. In Calabria, formidable instructions
were taking place, and the whole of the mountain
country was in disturbed condition.
The returns of the Bank of France were not so
favorable as at the last previous accounts This
arises from the fears which are entertained of the
Royalists and Communists. Great military prepa-
rations were making, through the Whole of the
Republic, in order to preserve eace.
At the Paris Bourse, Three Per Cents were
quoted at 50; Five Per Cents 50 to IS.
The French Governments, had received tele-
graphic dispatches, announcing that the Sandman
army was at the Ticino on the Goth, in three dyi-
'ions. On the 2lst the Austrian army passed the
'ame river, and was resisted From the position of
he armies, it was supposed that Charles Albert
would be forced across, and that pitched battle
would be fought in the pl aims of Veselli The |
French expedition was in waiting at Toulon, and |
numbered 1900 men. They were ready to sail as /
DON as the Austrians should attempt to enter the
oontifical States.

The NORTHERN TELEGRAPH.-The Charleston
Courier of the 10th of April has an article on the
beauties of the Telegraph in which the editor is
very severe on the management of the line because
his despatch with the Niagara's news did not
arrive in time, or perhaps not at all. This seems
TO have been the first time that such thing
has occurred with that paper, and the Indignation
Of the aggreved party therefore is really appall-

noise for 90 slight cause. What would the editor

any dispatches whatever; always being greatly

uonai departure from the usual mode of doing
business the news, such as it is, reaches us an hour
or two in advance of its reception by mail The

with better humor; they must acquire some of the
stoicism which is said TO be the attribute of those
GELS who have acquired habit of being skinned.
~ Is nonsense to grow angry with and rail out
against the telegraph-it is a waste of temper and
words. The line and all connected Herewith are
beyond the reach of the reformer and past the hope
of Improvement.

FOREIGN NEws-It will be seen that the news
brought by the Hermann, is of very interesting
character. The commercial intelligence is impor-
tant and the political events which have lately
transpired in Italy are of the highest interest 1t
will be observed'that the news by the Niagara, of
which we give the Geographic reports to the N. Y
Herald is not complete, the wires having got out of
order between Calais, Me-, and New York city.
Hence the Italian news by the Hermann, is seven
teen days later than any we have received in New
Orleans. One of our dispatches by the Peoples
Line is dated at New York, April IA, 6 P. M, and
was received here at P. M. last evening. This is
extraordinary dispatch, taking into consideration
the distance and the nature of the country through
which the wires Of the Western Line pass.
