g OPINIONS IN THE CABINET.

There has been no meeting of the Cabinet,
however on the subject, and it is believed
that the President has consulted no member
of the Cabinet, excepting Mr.. Seward. Sec.
retary Stanton has, within twenty-four hours,
expressed his regret at the Presidents visit
to Fortress Monroe, and Secretary Fessenden
is currently quoted as entertaining the same
feeling. Most, if not all the other members
are non-commttcd. Mr.. Blair is quoted as
having predicted that Lincoln, Grant and
Seward would be face to face with Davis and
Lee within a week, and that peace would be
the result. .s -..-.. : ~. ....

RESULTS OF THE CONFERENCE SUMMED UP.
Washington, Feb. SIT is difficult to pro,
cure the details concerning the recent confer
ence between the President and Secretary Of
State and the rebel commissioners, but it is
reported that the President, throughout the
conversation, insisted that he should continue
the prosecution of the war on the principles
heretofore declared, namely, of compelling
obedience to the Constitution and on the
basis of the Union, and admitting peace only
on these terms With him there was to be nc
deviation from this course; so the Commits
sioners were left in no doubt whatever on this
material point. n2 j. la7l7.
The conversation was conducted in the
most courteous and respectful manner, and
the Commissioners returned to Richmond
thoroughly understanding the views express
ed by the President Therefore if anything
further is to be said on this subject, it must
come from the Confcderates. As heretofore
