HD.-A regiment leaving this city to go to the

at Fort Hamilton and when the former wing
Of the regiment arrived there to take them OH,
Lieut. Col. Burke in command of the Fort ex-
hibited an order from the War Department fr
their detention to secure the safety Of the Fort.
Col. Adams refused to proceed with part of his
regiment, and yesterday afternoon the whole
regiment still remained ut Fort Hamilton. They
were hourly expecting orders from Washington
for the entire regiment to move.

siESTs.-A project is on foot among the friends
OF the several German regiments now organic

tcntion Of placing the force at the immediate |
disposal Of the General Government. There are |
some twelve or fourteen of these ncipient or |
CARNATIONS, which have members enough to |
form three or four full regiments of German
citizens and this movement, if accomplished, |
" i'll anticipate any action in the way of attach
Ing the men to fractions of other regiments OF |
different nationalites, thus impairing their eff |
ciency. Several meetings have been already /
held at the Cooper Institute and a committee
