The following is from the Richmond Dis
patch of the 18th: TEhEF -
"The fall of Fort Fisher, we presume,
closes the port of Wilmington. It com
mands the main entrance to Cape Fear
River, and will, we fear, enable the enemy
to blockade the river completely, giving
them, as it does, secure Judgment on the
left bank. Fort 'aswell and several other
works still guard the Southern channel of
the river. Fort Fisher is 20 miles below
Wilmington. Some regard IT'S fall as dis
aster, while many are disposed to consider
it blessing in disguise. They say goods
imported through Wilmington have been
of little good to US, while millions of dol
lars worth of our cotton has found its way
into the hands of our enemies. 1t is proper
to add that possibly our force which, ac-
cording to Gen. Lees dispatch, was man
ing heavy demonstration against their
real, may retake the Fort
It was reported yesterday that John C.
Breckenridge was made Secretary of War
Of the Southern Confederaey. There are
reasons for believing it. He was expected
in that city last night. ST..
1t was also reported that Colonel North
rup, C0mmissary General, had been dis
placed.
Judge Halliburton, of the Confederate
Court for the district of Virginia, yesterday
issued a writ of habeas corpus on the petit
ton of Hon. H. s. Foote, member OF the
House Of Representatives from Tennessee,
commanding Captain H. s. Daggett, Provost
Marshal of Fredericksburg, to bring before
the Judge the body of Henry S. Foote on
Thursday next, and show cause why he
should not be set at liberty. Mr.. Foote, in
his petition, states that he had been arrest
ed and held in custody by order of one
James A. Seldom, Secretary Of War. This
matter has been settled by the House of
Representatives, to whom it was referred
by the President, declaring that they are
of the opinion that the good of the country
would not be sub3erved by more attend
ance of said member upon the sessions OF
the House; butthat under all the circum-
stances of the case, it is expedient that the
military authorities discharge him from Gus
tody. We presume Mr. Foote has already
been set at liberty.
Mr.. J. W. Singleton, of Illinois, Yankee
peace Democrat, is still at the sPotswood
Hotel. His presence in the city has not
produced great sensation.
The House then made an amendatory en-
rollmont bill the order for two weeks from
to day.
BrOdings then offered joint resolution
rendering thanks to Gen. Terry and Adml.
Porter, and through them to the army and
navy, for the capture of Fort Fisher.
After debate the resolution was referred
to the Committee on Naval Affairs.
Mr.. Cox, of Ohio, offered q resolution ten
dering thanks to Maj. Gen. Thomas for
breaking and driving the rebel forces from
Tennessee.
The resolution was referred to the Com
mittee on Military Affairs.
The House then resumed the considers
ton of the executive, judicial and legisls-
tive appOrtionment bills.
QUEBEC, Jan. l9.-Parliament opened to-
day. The Governor, in his opening speech,
congratulates the House on the general
prosperity and contingent of the people,
and continuance of peace. Referring to
outrages committed upon the people along
the border, he says in order to prevent or
CARNATIONS of such enterprises within the
provinces, and to enable me TO discharge
my duties effectually towards my neighbors
and friendly powers, have seen fit to or
gsnize system OF detective police on the
frontier; and with the same design, have
called out for permanent duty, portion Of
the volunteer force of the Provinces. Sim
liar consideration suggests the propriety Of
srming the executive government with
stronger powers than now exist, for dealing
with persons who, while availing them
selves of the right of Asylum, always al
lowed on British soil, to political refugees,
may be unmindful of implied obligations,
which, by residence among US, they con-
tract.
A bill framed for this purpose will be laid
before the House, and / ask early eonsid-
Grafton. The Government congratulates
the House on the zeal shown by volunteers,
and asks vote for supplies and necessary
expenditures. He informs the House that
the financial legislation at the last session
has been attended with successful results,
and revenue is largely increased and trade
extended, In regard to confederation, he
says circumstances afford an opportunity Of
not merely a settlement Of the question Of
provincial politics, but simultaneous ere
alton Of q new nationality. Parliamentary
negotiations are opened by governments Of
other provinces, and the result was meet
ing in Quebec comprised Of delegates Of eli
colonies, and with the sanction Of the
crown. Conference came 70 the conclusion
that Federal Union on q feasible and de-
sirable plan Of constitution, proposed union,
and embodied a series of resolutions, which,
with other papers relating to the subject,
will be laid before the House.
The general plan is cordially approved
by the Imperial Government, and imperial
sanction will be given. Il now remains to
decide whether the vast trade Of The coun-
try will be consolidated into a State con-
eining within its area sll the elements Of
national greatness, or whether several pro-
