PEELED to look carefully after Gotten and free
trade. England is disposed to move eau
tiously in this important matter, and is play
ing her usual game of urging France to take
the chestnuts out of the fire. The country
may not generally be aware that there is at
this moment, an agent Of the French Enlpe-
ror, travelling in the South by the name of
Barroche. He is instructed to say that he
is simply collecting Information for the COM
mercial bureau, for the Minister of Public
Works, but ii is an artificc. He is politl-
cal more than a commercial agent, and his
dispatches are regularly forwarded to Paris,
and necessarily exercise great influence over
the mind of the Emperor.
1t is beginning to transpire that Mr.. Rus
sell, correspondent of the London Times, is
not merely writing letters to that journal,
hut that his private communications Tor
higher quarters contain a good deal otinter.
esting matter, which he does not .think alto
gether discreet to print.
The President summoned the Cabinet to-
day in great haste, and they were in session
about one hour. Secretary Seward leitthe
White House and proceeded to the quarters
of Gen. Butler, and not finding the latter IN,
desI atched ne Of the Generals aids in pur-
suit of him. The interview lasted some
time.
1t is evident from appearances, that' the
| Government intends dealing with Missouri
in the same manner it has with Maryland
AS an evidence of this, the Government has
concluded to take charge Of the Hannibal &
st. 10. railroad, and employ it for govern
ment purposes.
| 1t appears that the Government is steadi-
| ly carrying out its programme of action as
to the Rebel States. 1t has determined to
appoint Collectors for the different Southern
ports, and is engaged in soliciting men OF
energy to fulfil the important functions con-
fidcd to them. The duties will be collected
on board men-of war Whatever may be
the opinions of legal authorities here or
elsewhere on the subject. Ex-senator Coop
er, ofFrederick, Md, reports that he will
have regiment ready to be mustered iuto
service on Monday next.
The President has commissioned Gen.
Sickles to raise division of 10000 men to
report in | 6 days. Till then he holds the
rank as Brigadier General, thence as Msjor
General.
New ORLEANS, May 17.-Texan advices
say that Col. Van Dorm succeeded in causing
the surrender of the remaining Federal
troops in Texas. Texans, in number doubt.
less, on the upper frontier, are taking all
necessary steps to defend the State against
hostile incursions.
Unfounded rumors at Montgomery say
Abol;tionists are marching to capture the
forts on the upper border.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The announce;
mentof a new military department, including
Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee, has
added intensely to the war excitement
Further announcement that the command
was assigned to Gen. Butler in no way di
minished the feeling.
Generals Scott, Butler and Mansfield
have been in consultation with Mr. Cameron
most Of the day.
A letter received here from the editor Of q
Memphis paper, former!y,. resident Of
Washington, states that provisions are very
scarce in that bity, and all business ruined,
and that soldiers are not coming forwarc as
rapidly Us was anticipated.
Ta1e Massa chusetts 5th and 9Th regiments
received orderb this p. m. to prepare for an
instant start.
A battery of eleven guns on Aqua Greek
has been discovered, with extensive earth
works near the mouth.
