FROM WARRINGTON.
From the Cincinnati Enq1irer.l
WASHINGTON, March IA Cabinet ccun-
Gil assembled this morning, but were engaged
with appointments requiring executive action.
They assembled again this afternoon. and are
yet in session It is believed that The south
err troubles are now the subject before them.
Il Is believed by all that the dispatches rela-
tive to the evacuation Of Fort Sumter have
reached Major Anderson, and that he will
leave this week, or Monday next.
It Is understood that on Monday last Mr..
Seward was waited on by a southern Senator
In reference to the reception Of the southern
commissioners Mr.. Seward assured him that
be would be most happy TO meet then at a GER
tain hour on Tuesday, when they should have
an informal interview with Mr.. Lincoln, and
perhaps other members Of the Cabiset. He
eviRced the belief that they would be met In a
favorable spirit, and hoped their mission
would end in peace. On Tuesday, however, a
note was received from Mr.. Seward, stating
that It would be necessary FOR him to forego
the appointment, but he did not designste any
future time.
The commissioners then concluded to send a
peremptory request to-day, for an interview
on the various matters pending between the
old and new CoBfederseies, which would re
quire the occasion Of a response.
Inc inference QdNu run MI nFNoAN ~
ton, was an objection on the part Of the
Cabinet members to assume the responsibility
eoineident with the evacuation Of Fort Sum-
ter.
Reports are contradictory tonight as to the
issue Of any orders for the evacuation of Fort
Sumpter.
The commissioners, to-day, received addl'
uonai assurances favorable 10 southern in
t~srests, which caused them to delay their ulti-
matum.
It is now possible that the evacuation Of
Fort Piekens and Fort Brown will follow the
evacuation Of Fort Sumter, although the Re
publieans say that the same necessity does
net exist in their cases.
The great trouble looming up is the tariff.
The Republicans admit that it will be impos-
sihle to collect the revenue on board ship, fol
if any wish their goods to be warehoused, tht
officers could not refuse under the new bill
and so defeat the object Of a collection outside
the karbor. The southern tariff is 80 much
| lower than the Morrill, bill that the Govern
ment is alarmed at the prospect Of driving al
imports to southern ports, TO be run up to thu
States by river and railroad. They now tall
OF calling an extra session to confer more
power on the Executive, and to provide for thu
detection Of the revenue.
Tom CorWin declined the mission to Mexico
but, at the solicitation Of friends, has con
scented to serve.
C. NJ. Clay declined to go to Spain bscaus
be wished to be sent to Russia. He will hav
his wish, IL is said.
Judge Douglas resolution OF inquiry wa
voted down to-day BY the Republicans. The.
didn't want the weakness Of the Governmen
exposed.
The great Gaines suit was decided to-day
The decision was made by Judge Wayne. AM

Special Dispatch to Cincinnati Gazette, Black-Rep.1
WASHINGTON, March 14.-The mission t
England seems to be still in great doubt. tn
political necessities Of the times have presse
the Importance of this mission upon Mr.. Lin
coin, and it is therefore that be holds the sp
pointment under Amusement. It seems quit
probable that the Hon. VIM. L. Dayton, O
New Jersey, or Hon. Charles Francis Adam
will be selected. If either is chosen, it wi.
most probably be the latter, whose q~ualihca
tons, aside from bis political services, seem {
entitle him to the pace.
]. L. Motley, the well known historian, /
urged for the mission to Holland.
Mr.. Lord and Mr.. Thayer, both CORES
pondents here, are named prominently for th
collectorships at Alexandra, Egypt, and st
Thomas, West Indies.
Quite a batch Of appointments were sent t
the Senate to-day, and referred 60 the appro
pirate committees.
The commissioner from the Southern Con
tederscy have qui'e abandoned the hope Of be
ing received officially BY the President. The
have as vet made no official communication
but will probably do so in few days. Thei
communication NAV be referred 10 Congress
vet there is but a slight probability Of sue
action. They DO not care about any receptlo
as citizens, and will do nothing outside Of the
official line. The third commissioner, En-
Governor Roman, % Louisiana, has not al
rived yet, and Mr.. Forsyth is quite i'll.
The order for the evacuation Of Fort Sumte
has been issued. Dispatches from the Sout
state that a special messenger passed throug
Petersburg, Va, and Raleigh, N. c., with dis
patches from the Government to MAJOR Andel
son. It is further alleged that the gsrriso
will be transported hither by railroad, instea
Of by special steamer.
The Charleston Courier 81 Monday morn
ing contained a dispatch from here, stain
that the evacuation would take place. Thi
seems to be the very first journal to announce il
General Scott has convinced a great man
Republican Senators that there was no alter
native left but the withdrawal of the CARR
sen, aud the report of the special board {
army officers fully confirms bis statement j
every particular.
There are quite a number Of ofice-seekel
! here from Virginia, mostly for postofice
Even from Lynehburg there are Eve applicant
and the contest in their cases is as vigorous q
elsewhere.
The President is determined to pursue
peace policy, if we are to Judge from the cor
versations which be has held with souther
gentlemen. One who called on him to-day II
eeived for a reply that there sho7ld be n
bloodshed il he could prevent it, and all ind
cations point to the maintenance Of a peaC
policy.
Should the Administration resolve upon ii
collection Of the revenue in the seeded State
an extra session Of Congress is necessary, an
therefore this was the principal SUBJECT Of dii
c%ussion. Il seems that the only law in fore
is that Of 1893, wa:ch requires the collector I
be a resident in the district from which be
appointed, and that he must collect the rev
nue. on shore. No provision is made for co
iecting it on the outside Of the harbor BY rev
nue. cutters. In 1898 it was Necessary to pas
a force bill for collecting it within Charles
ton harbOr. Under the operations of the ne
tariff act, the labor Of the collecting duti,
viii Ibe greatly increased rendering it quite diff
cult except on land. This whole question
from necessi y, must be decided n a yer
I uEAtA AAllts
The Senate did nothing to-day, the Dougla
war resolution being laid over, and no fnl
vote was reached on the resolution riking tt
names Of the Senators from the sscedin
States from the roll, although it was evider
that the resolution will pass. There are fou.
teen vacant seats from ihe seeded states, an
three from the free States. The Senate prt
sents quite a thin appearance, TO what it dill
few days since.
Tbs detective police Of this city, whose viz
ilsnce has not ceased since the Inauguration
became aware Of the presence Of a sEillfl
ments carefully. He stationed himself yer
near the White House, and secreted a con
plete set of burglars tools, including falls
keys for opening doors, and evidently conteH
plated some burglarious action on the ExecJ
tive mansion.
