WASHINGTON, October 6-Tbe President |
has decided that hereafter all contracts and |
appointments for the Western Department |
shall be made in Washington, in the regular |
way, and through the ordinary channels.
Brigadier- General W. X Strong will also
be authorized to make such changes in Mis-
souri,, as Chief OF the Statf, as he shall deem |
best.
Nothing but the importunate demands of |
public interest will induce Government to |
supersede Fremont. The Attorney General |
is uureserved in his expression Of opinion |
concerning General Fremont, and does not |
hesitate to pronounce his retention public
crime. A full consultation on the whole

meeting.
The publicity given to the violation of the
Savannah blockade by the British steamer
Bermuda is said 10 have proceeded from Lord
LyoDs's dinner table.
Information from the village of Thompson,
Conn.,, gives me reason to believe that part
of the freight of this vessel was seventy tuns
.
rifed cannon, sixty thousand pairs shoes,
large quantity of blankets and clothing and
an extraordinary quantity of quinine and
morphine.
Remonstrances against her sailing and
completing her cargo we're made by Charles
Francis Adams, in London, but the Foreign
Office did not feel at liberty, or would not
see its obligation to arrest the unlawful voy-
age.
A. M. Matherhead of Indiana, was yester-
day appointed Consul to Leipsic, and Thos.
Foster, of Minnesota, to Lahite.
The New York TinleS's dispatch says,
highly important advices have been received
from Cuba by the steamer Kdrndk. The
| Spanish war steamer Leone was waiting at
! Cadiz for the result of the Cabinet conference
relative to the European coalition against
Mexico, that advices of the ultimatum of
Spain might be Immediately dispatched to
the Governor-General of Cuba.
In the mean time an expedition is being
fitted out at Havana, for Mexico, under pre-
text ofgoing to San Domingo.
The expedition consists of six batteries of
howitzers and ten thousand men, and will be
ready to start by the latter part of next
month.
! 1t is given out that Spain is taking these
steps against Mexico on her own responsi-
bility, but the advices to which have ac-
cess state definitely that the English and
French are to send their quota of men as
well as cooperate with their fleets in the
Gulf.
The whole country will be startled by the
extent of this movement and the end in
view. The regulation of Mexico is its least
important object. IL looks further North.
Governor Sprague, of Rhode Island, will,
it is understood, be promoted to Major
Generalsbip.
General Stoneman, the Chief of Cavalry,
in GapaYal MClilallan's staff will n W
order all Colonels of cavalry To report to the
Examining Board for examination as TO their
qualifications
This excellent movement will be followed
Up by similar orders to the Lieutenaut-Col-
onels, Majors and company officers success
svey.
There will be tomorrow the grandest ar
tilleTy and cavalry review ever witnessed on
this continent. 1t will include six regiments
of cavalry and twenty complete batteries oi
artillery.
