WARRINGTON, March 13-Commissioners For
syth and Crawford have received such assurances
from his sources Of the pacific intentions Of the
Administration in reference to the southern forts,
that at presentthey will make no official demands
Pending the movements looking TO the evacuation
Of Fort Sumter they will remain quiet. IL 10 said
that their instructions contemplate disregard OF
forms and etiquette In the attainment Of results.
special messenger left here yesterday for Fort
Sumter.
The Baltimore appointments have not yet been
taken mp, and will not be until those Of the Free
States are disposed Of A number Of Baltimoreans,
who claim TO be Republicans, are here seeking
Office but have reliable authority for stating that
the appointments for Maryland will be made from
the Union ranks without regard to Republicanism
Most of the Republican applicants, whose per-
sonal appropriately induced the President to
escape from them by a night journey from Har-
risburg, will undoubtedly be disappointed The
peace policy of the Administration will embrace
the policy Of conciliating rather than irritating
the Border states, and an effort will be made TO
give the appointments In all Of them to those who
will be most acceptable TO the great mass Of the
Union men, without respect to previous party pre-
objections.
1t is said that James 3. Partridge, ESQ of Bal.
timore will probably receive foreign appoint
ment.
1t is said that the Republican Senators have held
a caucus and passed resolutions opposing the
abandonment Of Sumter, and also deciding to
accept the resignation Of the seeding Senators,
informing the Governors Of their respective States
OF the vacancies.

Her agents in New York are Of the opinion that
she has returned to Queenstown, and that some
