Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
WASHINGTON, March II, 1861.
MR. coRWIS DECLINES THE MEXICAN MISSION.
a[r. Corwin has peremptorily declined the
Mission to Mexico, rendered him by AIr. Lin
coin. Whether he will accept some other ap-
pointment, If indeed one is rendered him, re-
mains to be seen.
spEcULATIoNs ABOUT APPOINTMENTS.
The Mission to England seems to be still in
great doubt. The political necessities Of the
times have pressed the Importance of this Mis-
sion upon Mr.. Lincoln and it is therefore that
he holds the appointment under adyisement
Il seems quite probable that the Hon. Vim L.
DAYTON of New Jersey, OF Hon. Charles Fran
els Adams, will be selected If either is chosen,
it Will most probably be the latter, whose
qualifications, aside from his political services
seem to entitIe him to the place.
j. L. Motley, the we'll known historian, is
urged for the mission to Holland. Mr.. Lord
and Mr. Thaycr, both correspondents here,
are named prominently for the Consulshirs
at Alexandria, Egypt, and st. Thomas West
Indies
Quite batch OF appointments were sent to
the Senate to-day, and referred to the appro-
pirate committees.
TIE EVACUATION OF FORT SUMTER.
The order for the evacuation Of Fort Sumter
has been issued Dispatches from the South
state that i special messenger passed through
Petersburg, Va, and Raleigh, N. c., with dis
patches from this Government to Major An
tIerson, 1t is further alleged that the garrison
viii be transported hither by railroad, instead
Of by special steamer.
Tie Charleston Courier Of Monday morning
contained a dispatch from here stating that
The evacuation would take place, This seems
to be the very first journal to announce it.
The Charleston papers received to-day pro-
nose a Grand celctration in honor of the event
THE EVACUATION A MILITARY NECESSITY.
Cen. Scott has convinced great many Re.
nnhl;can Senators that there was no a1terna.
live left bnt the withdrawal Of the garrison,
and the report Of the special board Of army
officers fully confirms his statement in every
partic ular.
TIE COLLECTION OF TIE REVENUE.
| An important and lengthy Cabinet meeting
! Wa held to-day. Tie ostensible question un'
der consideration was the collection Of the
should Should u !. Administration resolve upon the
| collection OF the revenue IN ne seeeaed states
therefore this .was the principal subject Of dis
cussion. It seems that the only law In forct
| ia that of1799. which requires the Collector tt
be resident In the district from which he Il
appointed, aud that he must collect the rcre
nue. on shore. No provision is made for col

a force bin for collecting 1t within Charleston
harbor Under the operations Of the nev
tariff act, the labor Of collecting the dutie
will be greatly increased rendering It quit
difficult except on land. This whole question
