hsHINGBN, April 7.-Several theories exist as
to the destination of the naval and military exped-
tlops, now being sent out from New York and else
Where; butthe best sustained is, that several OBJ
Iects are contemplated; one is to re0ccupy Brazos
Island with a number of troops, with auxiaries
on the stsamer Atlantic, and with two or three
small war vessels to cruise from thence, cnastwise,
to the mouth of the Mississippi.
Another belief is, that there is to be rendez.
Vous at the hey forts, and to aid, in of
sity, by reiatorcements to Fort Pickens, witA the
ultimate OBJECT to re-occupy Pensacola Bay and
the Navy Yard
A third view is that the expedition is to supply
but not reinforce Fort Sumter.
others suppose the vessels of under COmm0-
core StrIngham, are to compose fleet of obserVa-
ton near ST. Domingo, during the pending revou
ton there and that they will cooperate with the
rest OF the expedition. and aid in any attempt
winch may be contem plated to re-occupy sub ju-
gate the Southern forts and harb0rs. Altogether
forming well connected basis OF operations.
Persons apparently well versed in the intentions
OF the Cabinet insist that the Brazos occupation is
an initiative step to re-occupy the entire Rio
urande frontier, from the mouth of that river to
bi faso, cooperating with HoustOns plot to re
strlct IN tnat direction the extension of the South
ern ConteierscY, and that such plan has been
suggested by the Mexican Legation at " Wash-
ington.
There are, however, other theories with regard
to pending aft ,irs. Time only will test their ac
curacy. Upon whatever point of the Southern
r., ,,f-
these demonstrations to be made, it is generally
conceded the expedition will meet with warm
greeting.
4 VOICE FROM NEW JERSEY.
The Newark Mercury publishes a correspondence
between L. W. Burnet, Esq, of that place, and ex-
Governor Price, who was ene of the Representa-
twas of the State of New Jersey in the Virginia
Peace Convention. Mr.. Burnet, after alIuding to
the necessity Of a Southern market for the manu-
taetures of New Jersey, and the ten thousand of both
Seres noc lille in Necarkalone," asks "what is to be
our future eourse?" and afterwards says
Many industrious and enterprising people of this
city and State and turning their attention to the
south as future residence, Departing Of getting
clear OF difficulties in any other way.
Ex-Governor Price, in reply, after expressing a
nope that means may yet be found to re-unite the
States, adds:
