RETURN OF THE EAST INDIA SQUADRON.-The
flag officer OF the East India squadron has, in
dispatches received yesterday, informed the
Navy Department that the orders for the return
of the vessels under his command have been
received. Measures were at once taken to
carry them into effect.
1t has heretofore been stated that the African
and Brazil squadrons have also been ordered
to return to the United States, their employ
ment being needed at home, owing to the
Southern rebellion.
Our country will, however. be represented
by one ship on each OF the coasts OF Africa and
Brazil, as well as in the East Indies.

CLOSING THE SOUTHERN lNLETs.--We have
Already mentioned the fact that our active and
efficient Secretary Of the Navy had determined
to close all the Southern iuleis and smaller
ports by sinking old hulls across the channel
This work has been connencel. and Is rapidly
progressing. \ single sloop sunk across the
channel short distance below ST. Marks
Florida, has eifrctually bockaded that port
About twenty hulks have been purchased al
Baltimore to sink at the entrances of the Caro-
lima nlcts, and range in price from S4OO to
$1,000. The total cost Of this machinery fol
putting an end to smuggling aud mercantile
sympathy with rebels, was S2l 900.

AFFAIRS At BALTIMORE-MAJ
RElGER.

In reference to the statement that Major Bel
yer, assistant quartermaster at Baltimore, has
been giving HE patronage largely to secession
lists, Gen Dix, as noticed in our paper Of
Thursday, reports to the War Department:
" So far as the charge alleges an intentional
bestowment of the public patronage on dis
loyal men they are utterly groundless."
This Is very strong language, and we add,
very unwarrantable language, on the part OF
Gen. Dix.
As we are advised by a most reliable cores
pondent, the complaint actually made to Major
Belger, was not that he had " intentionaliy ;,
employed secessionists, but that, in point of
tact, a large proportion Of his employees were
of that stamp, including one who had very
large and lucrative commission as purchaser
Of supplies
II the complaint really had been, that th
conduct Of Major Belger was Intentional,
Gen. Dix had no right, under the circumstances
to pronounce such charge "uterly ground
iess."
These circumstances were that Major Belger'
principal employee in the way of purchasing
was one of the most notorious secessionlsts il

Of what they have been pleased to call the

now admit that his Department has accom-

Thus. the New York Tribune Of last Thurs
day, says:
when the present Secretary of the Navy
took charge of his department there were in
all the ports of the North but four small YES
sells, carrying twenty-five guns. Treachery
had done its work as effectually on the water
as on the land. Our war ships were scattered
over the globe, and the rebellion brought the
necessity of creating a navy from the very
bottom. The difficulty was enhanced by the
want OF legislative authority for extraordinary
action, beyond the legal powers Of the Sec
retary, and the precedents Of his Department
1t was vastly enhanced, too, by the tough re-
sistaace presented by routine To suddenly
