WASHINGTON, Monday, July 1, 1851.
THE PRESIDENT FIRM AGAINST COMPROMISE.
We are enabled to verify and emphasize our
declaration Of yesterday, that there will DO no
reference to any compromise, nor viii the ques-
ton Of Convention be even alluded TO, in tbs
Presidents message. We think we are not
wrong in stating that the President occupies the
very highest ground in asserting the power Of
the Government. All that the country can ask
of him, beyond this, is to be, in fact, what he
is in offce--the Commander-n- Chief of the Army
and Navy, and apply bis vigorous determination.

the prosecution of the war.

TIE CHESAPEAKE BLOCKADE NEGLECTED.
The brig Moro, lately arrived here with cargo
of ice from New York. brings curious news as to
the effectiveness Of the blockade Of the Chesa-
peake. She passed the Capes in opea daylight;
saw the fleet lying off Old Point aud continued
up the Bay without displaying her cesorsi nor
I'll she had arrived off Acqua Creek did any
vessel of the bleckadiDg squadron take any notice
of her. At that place the PaTnee brought Der

papers were not indorsed, reported to his supe-
rior, who also boarded the brig. As Tiers was
no reason to suspect the Captain OF Illegal nten'

boat took back an acceptable load of lee. But
suppose this craft had been engaged in carrying
arms or munitions Of war she could have taken
them up the York or RappahaDnOek RiverS aud
no one would have been the wiser. In What
sense ia this an effective blockade
THE ARREST OF COL. ALLEN.
There ia no doubt that the statements winch
have been made by your correspondents and
others. touching nsIbordinatiOn ard waDtoa' in
uriss to the persona aud property Of residents
at Hampton and in the vicinity are only too
well founded. The regiments most in fault arc
said to be Col Aisa's and Col. Carr's. The

| Col Allen is probably the correct His
latest oflense was burning wheat-6ed, aud
taking men in custody who were armed Vlth
protection from Cen Butler, whether wisely or
not, il was hardly within the province d
colonel to decide. In q word, he was hicsself
guilty Of insubordinaton. as he has ailowsd his
men to be. and Gen. Butler did rightly in
striking at the root Of the difficulty. 1t IS only
to be hoped that he will follow up the natter.
