The Expected Release OF MT. Davis.
Fort Monroe, August 26.--The impression
steadily gains gfoun,l here that Mr.. Davis
will so"n he released from his long imprison-
meat This impression. however, is not pro-
duced by any action that has as yet been
taken by the Government that could be con-
strued as P preliminary to his release, but it
is merely the result of frequent expression
Of opinion to this effect by those naturally
supposed to be most competent to do so, as
being cognizant Of the probability of such an
event soon transporting. 1t is we'll known
that strenuous efforts have lately been made
in Washington, and interviews have been
sought with President johnson over and over
again, though in more quiet manner than
formerly, by Charles O'Cenol. and many
other warm friends of Mr. Davis, for the pur-
pose OF making final effort to secure his con-
ditional parole upon the grounds of his con-
tinued i'll health
The pressure which has thus been brought
to bear upon President Johnson, and the in
spratieu and confidence he is supposed to re-
ceive through the proceedings of the late
Philadelphia Convention, it is generally
thought, has at last forced him to yield, and
that he will shortly grant Mr.. Davis a parole
on very nearly the same conditions presented
to Clement G. Clay In fact this is the pre-
vailing opinion here, and many have remark
ed by way of confederation, that Mrs Davis
has appeared more cheerful and lively since
her sudden return from Canada, than was
ever before noticed in her usually Responding
countenance.
Upon whatever grounds Mr. Davis NAV
be released, it may be considered indisputable,
upon the authority of his physician and me-
deal adviser, that his health is not BY any
means in that precarious state that his friends
have SO frequently represented.
