Late u ews.

An Off cial communication from Major
ANDERSON was received at Washington,
on Monday, stating that be had provisions
and fuel only for fifteen days, and, in view
Of this fact, Cabinet meeting was called
to consider the subject. We hare a vsri.
ETY. of reports as 30 what course the Adj
miuistIation will pursue. One correspon-
dent asserts, on what he deems good su
thority, that the evacuation of Forts
Sunpter and Pickens had been decided
upon in Cabinet Council, on Saturday.
Another has it that the troops are to be
Withdrawn only from Fort sunpter, while
the despatch TO the Associated Press as
serts that Gen. SCoTT recommends the
abandonment of Fort Sumpter as matter
of inevitable necessity, and that the Cabi-
net had the matter under adyisement on
Monday but adjourned without coming
to ANY conclusion. ai.
We have adyices from Galveston to the
effect that the ordinance Of secession was
adopted by large majority, and that the
Convention declared Texas out of the

said, will not resign, or take the oath of
alliance to the Southern Confederacy.

Important, If True.

The Milwaukee Wisconsin, Republican
paper, of Tuesday afternoon, contains the
following important paragraph;
Our dispatches to day confirm the con-
templated evacuation OF Fort Sumpter,
but assert that Fort Pickens will be re in
forced and held. The despatch also says
that the holding Of Fort Sumpter involves
point of honor only. To protect the
honor Of the national flag and the in.eg-
risy Of the laws is just what the people ex
rect of the Administration After all the
prayers and anxious watching; after all
the acclamations for the bravery of Major
Anderson in holding Fort Sumpter against
the rebel hordes, the American people will
look upon the voluntary evacuation Of
that fortress as a decided breakdown :"
on the part Of the government, unless it
be shown that to reinforce it would sacri
fee the very men it would protect.

French Invasion of Ireland.

Quite an interesting discussion is carried
on in the Irish papers between WIN SMITH
O'BnES and JoHS MARTIN, relative to
the policy Ct asking France to Aid Ireland
in gaining her independence from British
rule. around which all Irishmen could
raly-'he :orme strongly opposing the
proposition that French force should in
wade his country, and the latter, who is
now IN France, as strongly favoring it,
Mr.. O'BEIEH's last letter shows that ali
such attempts have failed in the past, and
are not likely TO be successful now, and
that French Intervention in Spain and
other continental nations was destructive
Of their freedom. In such an event. Ire
land would lose its charms for him, and
be would emigrate 10 Australia, the Wild
lands OF Canada or the United States. Mr..
O'Brien also shows that ireland would
have far less freedom than under the
British rule, for even in France a Bishop
cannot communicate with his clergy, OK
cert through the government, and that no
Irish newspaper, now in existence, could
cri'icise the acts of the French Govern
ment with the freedom they now enjoy.
We rather think that Mr.. O'BRIEN's
countrymen in Ireland and America, will
NOT apree viii, b;s yiaus ON H. ;oot

The Herald's Washington correspondent
says that political circles were feverishly
excited Sunday by the report that the
evacuation Of Forts Sumpter and Pickens
was determined upon in Cabinet Council,
Saturday night.
It is now certain chat the stock Of pro-
visions is almost exhausted.
Several Republican Senators repeatedly
declared that such policy was decided upon
while leaning Southern Democrats call it
a master stroke Of policy.
The Times correspondent says heard
distinguished secessionists confess TO night
that if Mr.. Lincoln dares withdraw the
troops from FIT. Sumpter, secession is dead
and every leader in the movement ruined.
. Gen. G. Fogg. late Secretary of the
National Republican Central Committee,
has been rendered the position of Commits

in Presidential circles that Mr.. LINCOLN
will inaugnla.a new System in regard to
Cabinet consultations. Heretofore it has
been the custom Of the President to be
governed, to great extent, by the opinions
Of the members of the Cabinet, as shown
by their votes, but Mr. LINCOLN has plain
~ intimated that under his administration
no votes will be taken in the Cabinet, and
he will, after consulting with it, take he
responsibility Of carrying out his line of
policy, irrespective of their opinions. The
Cabinet, he says, must be a unit, and if
possible, he will descend to the duties of
every department to carry out his meas
