When the Secretary Of War went to s.

maDa Of the Western Department., and in
structirg him to transfer it to Gen. Hunter.
The delivery Of this order Was left to the dis
erection Of the Secretary of War. His visit to
the Western Department convinced him that
a change in the Command was impeEatiyely Ee-
qujred, and he presented the order to Gen.
Fremont, Who asked for delay Of q few days
in the execution Of the order, which was gran
ted but his removal has been decided upon
to take place next week, and will probably be
made IN Tuesday.
The Secretary Of War also ordered modifca-
tions to be made in General Fremont's opera-
tions at ct. Louis, in respect to the fortitca'
which have been slre.dy reported, but which
the Bt Louis papers deny.
Whatever the public may think of tho jus
