WASHINGTON. April 4.
Tbs deception and double dealing Of Lincoln
and Seward have caused the greatest exaspsr-
alton throughout the South.
The troops that left here to-day, went to
Fort HamileOn. New York harbor heard il
stated that force Of two thousand men 10 to
be stationed Immediately at points on the sea-
board within twenty-four hours march Of the
capital. The steamers Powhatan and Minneso-
Il have been ordered into service. and will be
made ready for sea imme distely. 1t is believed
here that tue troops and vessels thus put in
motion are destined for Fort Pickens, and that
they will leave for that post by the end Of the
week These sudden movements indicate that
the Administration lie about to inaugurate !
new policy. and the excitement increases
hourly.
The Commissioners say that they have had
an express understanding with the Administra.
ton that its policy was to be concilistory and
pacific. and that in consequence no acts Of hos.
tiity have been committed ct the South. But
they begin to belieye that hostile designs have
all along been meditated, and that arrange.
ments have been gradually perfected for carry.
ing them out. Friends Of the Administration
deny that either President Lincoln, or any OF
his Cabinet. has given any plsdges. and say
that be will DO his duty, whether he may con.
cider it necessary to u.e force OF not.
1t 10 evident here that crisis is ct hand q nd
it is devoutly to be hoped that the Administra
ticn viii act with discretion and sense by
peace policy, that the country may be relieved
from the suspenss now hanging like pail over
every department Of industry and commerce
II the report Of the Mexican raid should prove
to be true. then the Administration will have
another delicate question 10 desl with and one
that must be disposed Of immediately.
The Governm. Mt holds that the states that
have seceded are still in the Union, aud If 90.
said Government must protect such States from
inroads from without. Will it do it,
From the Cincinnati Gasette.1
The Treasury Department has dispatched
Richard Ella to Mobile. for the purpose Of get
ting sone funds belonging to the U. 8. Gov.
erDment.
The Diplomatic Corps here. after discussing
the mat er, are of the opinion that the Span.
ish Government will repudia'e the action of
the Governor General Of Cuba in seix,nQ on
the Island OF Dominica.
Tne Government is speedily putting into
commission al the available naval force a.
supplemental to the Gull Squadron, which will
be commanded by Com. Stringham and des-
patched to the Gulf, in order to meet the pro-
posed increase Of naval force which England
and France are about to send there, and also
tor the purpose OF protecting the interests OF
this Government; go far as they lie in op. o.
sition to Spain's contemT lated seizure Of San
Domingo The war steamers PowhAttan and
Minnesota have been ordered into service. and
will be made ready for sea Immediately.
1t is reliably ascertsined to-day that the
Southern Commissioners have pretty much
ahando"ad the hnpe of replv from the Gov.
ernment.
The Administration is hourly expecting news
Of colheion at Fort Pickene. Gen Scott held
several conferences withe the Secretary Of War
to-day, and also visited the PreeldeDt
Lieut.. Gilman, who has returned from Fort
Pickans with important dispstches to the gov
ernment. had an interview to-day with the
President and several members OF the Cabin It.
From all that can be learned. there is little or
no doubt that Fort Pickens has been reinforced
men aud provisions having been landed sOlL 9
ten days ago. Lieut.. Gilman regards collis-
sion there - imminent. and would not be sur.
prised to hear Of it At any moment. There is
in consequence much interest manifested TO
hear from the South to day, as decidedly war
like intinations came over the wires last night
from CharlestoD.
1t is q ute impossible to ASCERTAIN what de.
csion the Cabinet has come to. though author.
itative circles T aintsin that it has decided that
the status Of Fort P.ckeLs shall be preserved
Isln l.
II is believed to day that the steamer Pavnee
vii! sail from the Navy Yard here to take
away Major Anderson and his command.
DR.. Fox, the first messenger to Charleston,
was before the Cabinet Yesterday, and ad-
hered to his original declaration that Fort
Sumter can be reinforced
few hours will settle the thousand Of ".
ing rumore one way or the other. Orders have
been issued to the Land and Pension offices
that no official notices must hereafter be tai en-
Of the correspondence from the seeded States.
From the Cincinnati Commercial
But a though verythng points to decisive
action. no one outside Of the Cabinet 10 able
to tell. positively. what eteps have been deter.
mined upon. In day or two the exact policy
Of the Adm nistr ation will doubtless be more
faly developed.
The absurd statement Ia the New York
Herald that the naval movements now going
on aim at . hostile demonstration against
SI ain. is universally laughed at in Administra.
tion circles. There will be plenty Of work for
oil the naval forces that can be raised, as
home.
The report Of an imminent invasion Of West.
ern Texas, by an army Of Mexicans, 10 discred.
itel here.
The announcement that Secretary Chase haa
determined to reject al bids for the new loan
below "a. and issue Treasury notes for the dif-
ference between the bids above that figure
and the amount wanted. IL premature. He
still reserves HE decision in the mattsr.
