The Effect of the War News
Washington.
WASHINGTON, March u. Is

" AShlNuIoN1 Marcu "a. IStU.
The Navy Department has received no ad
ditonal intelligence from New Orleans in re-
gard to the capture Of Miramon's steamers,
The dispatches trom Capt. Jarvis, detailing
all the particulars OF the affair, will no:
reach here for several days.
The Preble, which had Marin, Miraiaon's
commander-in-ch iet, together with the Other
prisoners, Ne, has not yet arrived at New
Orleans.
The captured vessels, together with thr pri
soners, ammunition, &C., will be handed oy or
TO the United States Marshal, as it is a judi
cial matter, to be disposed Of as the United
States Court may deem proper
1T appears that the government here Is
well as Captain Jarvis, was aware OF tue
object and Intentions of this expedition
Letters have been intercepted which ex
planned the whole affair. Miramon bad des-
patched Marin, with the necessary money,
to Havana to purchase two ships, to supply
them with the necessary armaments, t. aid
him should their services be required 10 his
attack upon Vera Cruz. Had they not been
captured by the United States forces they
would undoubtedly have fallen into the
hands OF the Juarez government, which
would have been much worse for Mirsmon's
party.
Our government fully endorses the course
Of Captain Jarvis in this matter. The sen
timents are universal also in both houses ot
Congress in sustaining his conduct.
The government, with such information
as is now in its possession, approves %! the
recent conduct of our naval officers in the
Gulf Of Mexico. The refusal of the Mramop
steamers to show their colors when asked t.
do so,was considered sufficient to place them
in the position OF pirates.

Supposed Foul Murder.

The oy ster sloop L. A. johnson, of lslip,
Long Island, New York, says the Herald of
Thursday, was found abandoned in the low
er bay Yesterday morning, under circum-
stances which leave the police to believe the
captain and crew were murdered and their
bodies thrown overheard. The cabin of the
vessel was covered with blood aud human
hair, as also the dack, and the general APP
pearance of things on board denotes that
the sloop has been the scene OF sanguinary
and des perate struggle.

The Pacific Railroad.

The Select Pacific Railroad Committee
decided on Wednesday, informally to hold
their next meeting on Monday next at ten
o'clock, instead of Saturday, as agreed
The greatest interest seems to centre about
this committee. Its room, where is suspen-
ded large map, upon which is traced the
different routes from the Atlantic to the Pa
cic, has been the centre of attraction near
ly all day by different parties interested in
the different routes. The chairman OF the
committee and other members were present
most of the time listening to explanations
and arguments for and against the different
proposed lines.
The friends Of the extreme southern and
northern roads are confident that if there is
to be but one route it cannot be either OF
theirs, but will probably be the central. The
friends of the southern road are in Wash
ington III considerable strength, and seem to
be thoroughly organized, and represent a
large amount of Northern capital. The nor
thern route finds formidable champions in
Governor Stevens, of Washington Terrific
~, Colonel AldFich, of Minnesota, and Mr..
Stout Of Oregon. The central route stands
upon its natural merits, and commands the
support o! sill true friends of railroad from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. Ii the central
route by way Of the South Pass is agreed
upon, as it probably will be, the extremists
will probably be satisfied with the branches
specified from Fort Smith to Pixies Peak on
the south, and from Salt Lake City to Port
and, Oregon, on the north.
The action OF the House Special Railroad
Committee, in adopting one route, is looked
upon as a virtual defeat of that Measure
'ihe irsnds of Southern route, and they
are in large majority in the Senate, will
bring forward a proposition of their own,
" hich will defeat the action OF the House.
The only hope OF passing bill! this session
was by the adoption Of two routes, Southern
and Central.

The AMERICAN MINISTER 10 FRANCE.-The
Hon. Charles J. Faulkner, the U. s. Minist-
er to France, who presented his credentials
to the Emperor en- Sunday the 18th inst, was
cordially received. He was con Quoted to
the Palace i'll 4 court carriage, by a master
of ceremonies. A Paris letter to the New
York Express states that the Emperor was
surrounded by his officers, and then adds
Our Minister was attended by the two
Secretaries of Legation, Messrs. Calhoun and
Wilb0r. Upon being presented to His
Majesty, Mr.. Faulkner made few remarks,
IN accordance with diplomatic usage. He
said he was the bearer of the ardent wishes
of our whole country that the ancient ties of
amity which unite the two na.ions may con-
tinue to be maintained in all their force and
sincerity. Dir. Faulkner made pertinent
allusion to the new and enlarged common
benefits which could not fail to flow from the
recently declared commercial policy of the
Emperor's government, and to the lively in
terest it has attracted in the United States.
The Minister concluded his addresses with
the assurance of the Presidents kind wishes
for the happiness and prosperity of the En-
peror and Empress.
His Majesty replied in English, heartily
concurring in the sentiments expressed by
the minister, declaring his hopes and belief
that the happy political relations which have
so long and uninterruptedly existed between
France and the United States would ever
continue as cordial and amicable as they
are at the present moment.
At the conclusion of these official remarks
on both sides, conversation OF less cere-
monious character ensued between the EN-
peror and Mr.. Faulkner, after which ne was
conducted to the apartments Of the Empress,
and formally presented to her Majesty, who,
in substance, repeated the friendly assuran-
ces of the Emperor. Mr.. Faulkner was then
conveyed, in court carriage, to his own
residence, and his mission is inaug urated an
der the most favorable circumstances.

TRIAL TRIP OF TUE STEAMBOAT ADELAIDE.
On Friday morning the steamer Adelaide,
of the Norfolk line, (which for the last month
has been at the yard OF hlessrs. Murray d
Hazelhurst, receiving Wethered's improv e.
ment for generating steam, left the wharf
on a trial trip down the river. The princi-
pal object of the trial was to test the new
apparatus, the patent of the Messrs. Weth-
cred, of this city, which consists in the using
of surcharged steam with the ordinary
steam, before passing into the cylinder OF
the engine. A portion Of the steam is super
heated while passing from the boiler to the
cylinder, by being carried through heated
tubes placed in the uptake. The result Of
the trial was satisfactory to all parties inter.
csted, demonstrating the fact that the same
amount of motive power could be secured
with much less quantity Of coal than I'M
der the ordinary process. The Adelaide has
been otherwise improved. On Wednesday
evening the steamer left on her trip to Nor
