special states that the contracts for subslst-
ing the New York Volunteers, entered into
in his own name by Governor Morgan in
disregard of en- order from the War Depart.
mept assigning an army officer especially
to this duty, has been snnuled here, as tho
shortest method of bringing this business to
an end, not only in New York but in other
States where it has begun or the desire to
begin ii, painfully exists.
Governor Curtin, of Penn, has asked per.
mission of the War Department 10 send eiakt
full regiments of Infantry and one of cavalry,
now in that State and ready for service, upon
an expedition to the Southern Coast.
The State Department has received notes
from the Governments of Prussia and Rus.ia
touching the Trent question, of q similar i'm
port to that from Austria. which has already
been published.
All the intelligence which the Govern
ment receives is to the effect that the rebels
will have great diff Guilty in inducing their
tWelve.months soldiers to remain in the
service after their periods Of enlistment and
hire. On the lst of February the march
homewaTd is likely to begin, unless circum
stances unfores seen at Manassas prevent.

that recent letters received from British
statesmen confirm the statement made some
time ago in this correspondence, that loug

that Of Great Britain to unite with France
in breaking the blockade OF the Southern
ports of the United States
" was stated positively that NJ. Thouvenel
distinctly made such proposition TO Lord
John Russell, which was politically decIined
not because England was rot anxious for
opening the Southern ports, but because the
British Government was unwilling 10 take
sn active part in provoking hostilities with
this Government, although not averse to
| France taking the task in hand and throw
| Jog open the ports for their common benefit.
