From Washington-The Determination to
Reinforce Fort Sumter-The Answer of
the Confederate States.
WASHINGTON April y.-Gen. Beauregard,
Yesterday received official notice from the
Federal Government, that 1t WAS its intention
to supply Fort STUNT with provisions, &c,
through Mr.. Chew, an agent of President
Lincoln.
The Heralds correspondent states that it is
most positive that Lieut.. Talbot conveyed in
structio to Major Anderson that the Gov
eminent would supply him forthwith. and in
the event that the vessels performing that
duty We're fired upon, to open his batteries and
the Government would sustain him at every
hazard. The correspondent adds that the
Government has at last determined to enforce
the laws and do it vigorously, but not in an
aggressive spirit. When the Administration
determined a few days since, to order Major
Anderson out of Fort Sumter, 1T also deter
mined to do so on one condition-namely, that
the fort and property in 1t should not be mo
Tested, but allowed to remain as it is. The
authorities of the Confederate States would
not agree to this, but manifest disposition tt
get possession of the fort and property there
In.
The United States Government would mo-
| submit TO any such humiliation, and II was
i'm media tely determined to keep Maj. An6er
| son in Fort Sumter and supply him with pro
| visions forth with. The portion OF the lice
which should have left New York last nigh
| will reach Charleston tomorrow for tina
purpose. The fleet will not approach Charles
| ton with a hos tile intent. but in view of tn
great military preparations about Fort sum
ter the supply vessels will go prepared to re
ply promptly to any resistance OF warlik
| charac ter that may be offered to their peace
full approach to the fort.
The above statement is generally credite
| in Washington circles.
The Herald of this afternoon has specia
dispatch from Charlesto ton, saying that flee
of seven Government 4essels were reporte
Off the bar. Mai. Anderson displayed sigma
during the night, and all the military {
Charleston were put under arms at midnigh
