From Washington.

New YORK, April l. A dispatch to the
World says that orders have been forwarded
by the treasury to the principal cities on the
Mississippi and Ohio rivers, ins:ructing the
surveyors to appraise all foreign goods not
having paid duties.
A dispatch to the Tribune says that the op-
ponents of secession in the Richmond con-
vention have clear majority Of 20.
A Montgomery dispatch to the Tribune
states that if Sprague is elected governor OF
Rhode Island, that state leaves the Union
and becomes the commercial depot and sum-
mer residence for the Southerners.
The Tribune says that at several recent
sittings of the cabinet an energetic policy
relative to Fort Sumter was strongly urged,
and the idea of reinforcement is now enter
tanned in quarters hitherto regarding it I'M
practicable. Several leading naval officers
express the belief that Fort Sumter could be
reinforced with an ordinary risk by steamers
in the night.
A dispatch to the Herald states that Tor.
tugas and Key West have been reinforced by
troops from Texas, and Fort Pickens would
also be reinforced without delay.
In consequence of the great disatfection a
bout the Morrill, tariff, the collection of the
revenue and the movements at Forts Sumter
and Pickens, an extra session Of Congress:
will be called.

Foreign Intervention in American Affairs.

The New York Times Paris correspondent
writes on the 10th that the English and
French governments are fitting out a power
FIJI fleet of war steamers for the United States,
the suggestion having come from France.
The precise object of this demonstration is
unknown, and the fleet will sail with sealed
orders. The Times correspondent supposes
II Is to be Il fleet OF observations" which ii is
customary to employ, "when any great war is
going on in foreign country. and while OBJ
serving. to pick up any little advantages; or
when the sympathy OF the fleet is all on one
side, to send boats now and then accidentally
uctween the cpntending forces, as England
has twice done in the late Sic!lian war, SO as
20 protect suffering friend at the right mo-
ment.' Spain, it is said. is also about to
send Il fleet to tue Gulf, though not in con-
cert with Eng land and France. This makes
4 very good sensation story, and will raise
expectations IN SecesSia. but the probability
is that this fleet, whatever it may amount to.
is sent to look after things il Mexico. and to
he ready to protect that country agains; SOU
thern tillibustering The French government
is undoubtedly dlsaiEected by our new tariff.
and French papers have assumed more ta-
vorable tone towards the southern confeder-
acy since its passage, but any supposition
that England or France contemplate interter-
ence with the affairs of this country is merely
absurd. We have fallen greatly in the re-
spect of the world by the secession movement
without doubt, but not SO low rs that vet.

A Tribute to John Il. Floyd.

The Southern Contederacy, paper printed
at Atlanta, Georgia, is overwhelmed by the
thought of the many services that ex-secreta-
~ Floyd has rendered the seeded states, I'M
acknowledged by them. The same paper at
tempts to show its gratitude for the treason
and robbery Of this william as follows:
But for the foresight and tirmness and pa
trotic providence of John B. Floyd, in what
stress and peril would the Cotton States be
houndering in this day. He saw the inevita
bic doom of the Union, or the doom Of his
own people. For many months past, from
MS standpoint, he had an expanded field Of
vision which enabled him to see the great
danger which threatened US, but which was
hid below the horizon from the eyes OF most
of US. When his faithful loyalty to his own
prosecuted people began its labers in our de-
tense. in what condition were the southern
statess The North had the heavy guns, the
light arms, the powder and ball, Just as the
North had everything else that belonged to
the common government. How quietly were
men shifted from our soil who might have
been here to-day to murder US at Abraham
Lincoln's order How slender the garrisons
became in southern forts, which were made
;or US, and belonged to nobody else, but
which savage enemy now chafes and RACES
to get po>session Of Who sent 81 600 stand
y, arms to Georgia? How came 10000 more
,.rime death dealing rifles at Jackson, Missis-
sippi? And, in short, why have we anything
a, all in the South to mail the strong hands
of the sons of the South with at this hour,
when every heart, and head, and arm of her
children are needed in her defence9 Truth
demands it of US, to declare that we owe to
john B. FLOYD an eternal tribute of gratitude
for all this. Had he been less the patriot
than he was We might now have been dis
armed, and a: the mercy of nation of cut

C A little sparring on temperance mat
ters between the Woodstock Standard and
Windsor Journal suggests one thing which
we have always favored, viz: That conyen-
tons ought to be held at least as early as
tuesday i'll the week, for the accommodation
OF the country papers. Can't all hands" of
the press agree on this? BY holding conyen-
tons on Thursday as is often the case, it is
too late to insert the full proceedings that
week, and they become old and stale the
next week. Have not the people, who want
the news, as much interest in this as publish
ers.-B. L. Times.

over Aberasta:n by causing that brave but
unfortunate gentleman to be wantonly assas-
sinated on the road, after having made HIM
march barefooted and almost naked, Till he
dropped down with fatigue. and because he
was unable to walk further his savage guards
murdered him, and chopped his body into
fragments. Saa continued his progress to
the town of San Juan, which he delivered up
to a three days pilase. He had the three
interesting daughters Of Aberastain dragged
into the street. and publicly violated by his
licentious soldiery. Every grown man found
in the place he ordered to be shot; declared
the town in a state of siege for period OF

Liquor Seizure.

We learn that large quantity of very
poor liquor WAS seized day or two since by
Sheriff Hall and put in our jail Tor safe keep
ms. Two Jugs (lrish and American,l came
over from the Fast village, and getting very
noisy and troublesome. and behaving very
unSeeml y even for rum jugs, the services Of
the sheriff were obtained, who disposed of
them as aforesaid We notice that in Bur
ington see Chittenden county, here,
they make no bones of enforcing the liquor
Jaw, and making the persons who persist in
the nefarious traffic smart well for it. We
hope the same policy may be pursued here
with regard to this unlawful traffic in intoxi-
eating liquor, until the stuff cannot be OBJ
tanned in our place, under any name.
