Col Kane who has been for some time engaged
In the settlement of the Mormon difficulties, ar
rived in Washington yesterday. He is the bearer
of dispatches from Governor Cumming, whom he
left at Camp Scott. The purport of the dispatches
have not officially TRANSFERRED but 1t is ascertaned
that many of the reports circulated in regard to Nor
mon matters erroneous, and calculated to deceive.
Col. h. denies the truth OF the announcement re-
ceived from Bonneville that the army would move
on the arrival Of the Peace Commissioners, as Gov.
Cumming had requested Gen. Johnston to remain
where he was until orders should be received from
Washington. There was great hope in Utah, as
elsewhere that the war was ended. All the
northern settlements were evacuated, and with the
exception Of the few persons left to guard the pub
lie property at Salt Lake City, there were no Nor
mons for forty miles south Of that city.
Another interesting letter from special cores
pondent with the army en- route for Utah, will be
found in our columns this morning.
by an arrival at this port we have news from
Port su Platte to the I'd inst. Up to that time no
decisive action had taken place between the troops
of Santana and those of Baez.' Santana. however
was before st. Domingo City with seven thousand
men, and only awaited the cooperation of his feet
TO make an assault upon the town. Both parties
have procured and armed soine dozen vessels each
and IL was thought probable that the quarres OF the
opposing parties might be finally settled bya naval
battle OF the two squadrons.
BY the arrival OF the steamship Black Warrior at
this port on Saturday night, we have advices from
Havana to the 18th inst. The letters Of Havana
correspondents are unusually interesting. Besides
various matters Of interest, there is full account Of
the double boarding of the American bark Marmion
by the British gunboat Buzzard with the statement
of the captain Of the Marmion. There Is also very
full abstract of the testimony of the officers crew
and passengers Of the American schooner Cortez,
seized by the British gsnbeat Forward, and at
tempted to be confiscated as SLAYER. The British
officers are charged with committing gross outrages
on these parties, besides robbing them of all their
vauables These accusations have been previously
published, and did not originate with the American
papers. II will be perceived that they have been
noticed In England and doubtless that government
will soon investigate as 10 their truth or falsity.
Our correspondent states that copies Of these
charges have been forwarded to our government for
its action.
Our correspondent at Bermuda, writing on the
1lth inst. says:-The British steamer Styx is of
and on, and has received positive orders 70 board
no more American vessels, and Admiral Stewart
very much regrets that visits performed In the
politest and friendliest manner should cause
unpleasant feelings between two powerful ma
tons Of similar blood, manners, laws, language and
religion. This archipelago Is very healthy, and
produces this year very largely.
