nable one relating to the policy of the
Administration in the Southern States.
Il is especially necessary that something
definite should be arrived at publicly as
to the course to be pursued, as the
ground work has undoubtedly been
laid in the instructions to Minister
Adams, as well as in the dispatches sent
out on Saturday, to all our foreign Min
listers, by Henry S. Sanford, the newly
appointed Minister to Belgium, regard
ing the position which the Administra
ton has taken toward the assumed
Government of the Confederate States.
1t is stated on the street to day that
important conclusions were arrived at in
the Cabinet meeting, but what these are
is not known.
Secretary Chase has adopted rule,
within day or two, shutting off access
to the officers in his department from all
but those who have department business
to transact This prevents a horde Of
office seekers from interfering with the
regular business of the department.

1t is now said that Fort Pickens was

WASHINGTON. March 30.

Hon. Charles Francis Adams, the
newly appointed Minister to England,
is now in this city, and to-day had an
interview with Secretary Seward. He
is awaiting his Instructions These, Of
course, are a subject of great perplexity
to the President and Secretary of State,
as they necessitate sn indication Of the
policy intended to be pursued toward
the Confederate States, and the course
to be adopted by foreign Governments.
The sudden change in tone Of the Eng
lish press toward the Morrill, tariff, rep
resenting the views of the British Gov
ernment, renders the question of in
structions to the American Minister one
OF many complications. The same is
the. case with France. It is, therefore,
ofthe highest Importance that the Cab
met should give. this subject no hasty
deliberation.
Mr.. Adams will not be ready to leave
here for atsleast week.
John Forsyth, one of the Commits
sioners from the Confederate States, is
still in New York attending to the in
rerests of his Government in the pur-
chase and shipment of fixed cartridges,
fuses, &c. He was to have returned on
Wednesday last provided his presence
was needed here.
The Commissioners, through third
parties, keep up perfect understanding
with the Department of State, at which
they have taken the late residence of
Secretary Floyd, but have not occupied
it yet.
The relations Of the Commissioners
with prominent men here are of the
most amicable kind. They have IN
vited several Republican members to
visit Montgomery, promising to extend
to them the hospitalities of that city.
The opinion is now more general that
an extra session of Congress will be
called, to consider the operations Of the
new tariff, and the state of the Treasury,
but it cannot convene before June.
The movement of so many troops to-
ward Pensacola, with orders from Gen.
Bragg, causes anxiety, and creates
alarm here.
Orders have gone to St. Louis and
other points West, to confscate all
goods introduced into Southern ports
without payment of the regular United
States duties.
Tho total Indebtedness of the United
States Government is S74, ,9S5 ,299, in

Notes, and the loan negotiated in Feb
ruaEyN The new loan will increase
this amount to eighty three millions in
round numbers.
Information has been received here
that the Florida Legislature has just
passed an act which declares that on
the event of any actual collision between
the troops of the late Federal Union
and those in the employ Of the State of
Florida, it shall be the duty of the
Governor of the State to make public
proclamation of the fact, and that there
after the act of holding Office under the
Federal Government shall be declared
treason, and the person convicted shall
suffer death. This act was approved by

Douglas and Breckinridge.

DCsiSlaS ana BfecE&Inf1uSe'
WASHINGTON, March 26.-The de-
bate to-day between Senators Breckin-
ridge and Douglas was generally antici-
pated, and attracted large crowd of
interested spectators in the galleries.
Breckinridge was severe on Douglas,
calling him the eulogist and denuncia-
tor of the Republican party, and COM
mentins' with much warmth on the de-
lusive hopes which the Illinois Senator
had held out to the country by falsely
representing, as he thought, that the
Republicans had yielded any Of their
essential principles. Douglas in retail
iation intimated the existence of secess-
ion proclivities on the part of Breckin-
ridge, and closed by declaration of
strong Union sentiments, which elected
loud applause from the galleries. Much
feeling was manifested between the two
Senators, and most of their associats,
who were present, paid close attention
to this quarrel between the defeated
presidential nominees. The debate was
brought to a close by tabling Mr.. Doug
las resolution, Senators Wade and Hale
voting against it with Democrats.

WASHINGTON. April J..

The monthly statement of the United

are now subject to draft two millions

millions more, which the Government
will probably never obtain. The new

full that it will be taken at a much

sufficient amount of bonds to protect
from protest the other maturing accept
ances of the War Department.; for it was
perfectly obvious that a protest would
put it wholly and permanently out of
my power to return either the first or
second lot of bonds. Accordingly, l
accepted an additional lot, and used
them, partly to protect those already
hypothetical, but chiefly to raise money
upon which to pay off the other accept
ances then maturing.
HEIs IN IMMINENT PERIL,
1t is proper to remark in this connec-
ton that in receiving the second lot Of
bonds | gave in exchange therefor the
receipts OF our firm in my own hand
writing, to be deposited in the Interior
Department as tire evidences that | had
received them. The money due our
firm was very largely in excess of the
bonds, and as l LETT in the Department
the evidence that had received them,
there could have been no intention on
my part to defraud the Government, nor
is it possible that the Government can
lose one dollar by the transaction.
Shortly after L obtained the second
lot of bonds the monetary crisis, occa-
stoned by the agitation Of the country,
came on. Financial embarrassment be-
gan to be felt all over the county,
Stocks Of all kinds commenced running
down with a rapidity that filled me
with the greatest possible alarm. My
fear was that the bonds l had hypothe-
Gated would go down to 4 very low fig
ure and be sold at such sacrifice as
would still further embarrass me. 1
saw, in word, that was in immediate
peril.
THE SECOND THROW OF THE DICE TO
RECOVER THE FIRST.
l had received the second lot of bonds
the better to enable me to recover the
first, and aoith knoarlcdge Of their true
character I did this under the force of
circumstances which | was utterly un-
able to control. I did it, as [ now most
solemnly aver, with as pure a motive as
ever moved an honorable man. But
now, | Saw that was in danger Of los
ing these bonds, and those also that
had previously pledged. The thought
shot through me like fame. My mis-
fortune assumed an altitude and expan-
sion that shut out all hope for the fu-
ture. would have given the world if
| had never been engaged in the service
of the Government, by whose direct
agency, in Withholding our dues, my
embarrassments were first brought upon
