FROM WASHINGTON.

Washington, June 90.
Col. Kanc arrived here last night, bring
ing dispatches from Gov. Cummings, whom
he left at Camp Scott on the 10th day Of
May. They were delivered TO the Presi-
dent. Their purport has not officially trans
pred, but 1t IS nscertained that many Of the
accounts with which the public mind has
been prejudiced are erroneous and calcula-
ted to deceive tho country in respect TO
Utah matters generally. To this fact may
be attributed the uncourteous refusal of
Col. Kane to communicate with the press.
1t is understood that Col. Kane denies the
truth of the telegraphic announcement from
boonvile intimating that the army would
moyu on the arrival of tho Peace Commits
sioners, when in fact Gov. Cumming has
requested it to remain where ii is until fur
teer orders shall have been received from
Washington.
Contrary to reports widely circulated,
Col. Kane docs not admit that there has
been any such want Of harmony between
Gov. Cumming and Gen. johnson, as would
leopard tho public interests. He speaks in
eulogistic terms Of Gen. johnson, and the
high state of discipline in which the latter
maintained his forces, and of the praise
worthy spirit manifested by the army
Tho Administration are much pleased with
the manner he is understood to allude to
the conduct of Gov. Cumming, saying that
ne is deserving of the gratitude of his coun-
try. There is great hope in Utah as else
whore that the war is at an end.
The peace party had been armed suffic-
lently strong in time to arrest the march of
the Mormon forces against our own last
spring.
1t was the impression at Utah that Brig
ham Young who openly cspoused the cause
OF the U. s., would in this respect be able
to maintain his position there. There was
at one time strong opposition to him be-
fore emigration commenced, but ever since
then this feeling of hostility has been grad
ually subsiding All tho northern settle
ments are evacuated by the Mormons, with
the exception of q few left to guard the pub
lie property at Salt Lake City and besides
these, there are no Mormons south of the
city for forty miles.
The 20 Mormon families alluded to in n
recent dispatch, did not, as was stated, ap-
ply to Governor Cumming for protection.-l
They were brought there by him from Salt
Lake City.
Washington, June 22.
The official advices received by this ar
rival from England are of more favorable
character than has been received towards
this country, and disavow intentional Of
fenses against our flag, and mention the
fact that prompt orders have been issued to
discontinue the visits which have given rise
to the present difficulties. Her Maiesty's
government does not insist on visitation or
search as right, but as both nations are
trying to put stop to the Slave Trade,
there is desired a mutual understanding or
arrangement as to the proper and most ac-
ceptable manner of ascertaining the charac-
ter of suspected slavers. This is the moot
ed point. The tenor of the dispatches was
far from being unsatsfactory-in fact, the
doctrine so maintained by our government
is considered as practically acknowledged by
Great Britain. Tho differences between
the two countries arc not such as cannot be
accommodated.
Lord Napier to-day prepared dispatches
conveying TO his government the intelli-
gence of the satisfaction evinccd by our
at the turn which the cruiser
controversy has taken, and giving assurances
that the relations between the two coun-
tries would be established on oven a better
footing than heretofore.
1t is understood that the Cabinet to-day
had under consideration the affairs of Utah,
which arc so complicated as to require great
caution in their management. From pres
cnt indications all the troops now on the
way will continue their march to Utah.
What additional measures will be pursued
will depend upon the character of the next
official dispatches from that quarter.
