DEVELOPMENTS AT WASHINGTON.
WAsH1NaroN, Nov. l3th.--We are pri.
vately informed that the Declaration of In
dependence Of South Carolina, was laid be.
fore the President to-day. This however
requires confirmation. As far as can bc as
certaincd, there is no disposition on the part
Of the Administration, or Of gentlemen Of
political prominence here, to interfere in the
present Southern movement, except, per-
haps, in a friendly spirit. It is now proba-
6ls that the President will soon issue an
address or proclamation, as the election Of
delegates to the South Carolina Convention
is to take place at an earlier day than was
recently anticipated. and as in consequence
there would no: he sufficient time for the
general appeal through tho annual message,
as was originally contemplated. Such is the
general alarm that Washington will not be
contied the seat Of government, that valua-
bio real estate has been sensibly affected by
the secession movement
