WASHINGTON NEWS.

WASHINGTON, June 3.--The Government re.
CARDS as palpable fact that the movers 10 the
present rebellion, never entertained the expec-
tation of accepting revolution. What they
desired was te open point for foreign inter
vention on which they relied to overthrow the
Union. They began their intrigues even be-
fore they ventured upon the rebellion, and ever
since they have applied themselves to this work
Of intervention. The pretence Of revolution
was therefore fraud and il now exposed to the
world. 1t is not doubted thst the views are
now or soon will be known to the European
Governments, through the Secretary of State.
highly interesting report was made to the
House this afternoon by Mr.. Blair, of Missouri,
from the Committee on Military Affairs, with an
amendment, reported as a supplementary sectlon
to the pending bill for charging the Illinois ca.
nal and improving the Illinois river. The Sec
ton provides for enlarging the locks Of the Erie
and Oswego canal to a size adequate to pass gun
boats, at cost not exceeding three millions of
dollars. The report presses these works strong.
~ as military necessity, rendered manifest by
the menaces last winter of the British press in
respect to the cities and commerce of the lakes.
Our great channels Of naval access are from the
Hudson and Mississippi rivers, and are striking
~ treated by the report as integral and insepa-
rable portions Of harmonious system of nation
al defense. Their commercial Importance will
probably be presented 10 Congress in some 9TH
