wars and Rumor. Of Wan. :

The air is filed with war rumors, in
the main sensational, no doubt, but with
just enough Of probability and plausi,
bility to give them a spice Of truth
The New York Horia, Of Saturday, has
doable loaded Washington dispatch,
headed in glazing capitals with " Grant
upon the War-path," Extra Session Of
Congress in SIXTY Days." &C., which is
editorially summed up as follows:
a0ur Washington dispatches look
warlike. Grant, il seems, has given
out that session Of Congress will be
called within sixty days with view 10
force the Cuba business. Ii Is also
distinctly alleged that he will not en-
force the neutrality laws, but win allow
the filibustering expeditions now fitting
ont in New York and New Orleans TO
leave our shores. In addition to Cuba,
the President and his personal friends
are determined to make an issue with
England on the Alabama claims, with
. view, finally, to compromise BY taking
Canada as an Offset. There is a pros
pect Of stirring times ahead"
10 addition TO the foregoing, we are
told that the Army aud the Navy are
being put upon war footing; that the
Springfield Armory is turning out five
hundred stand Of arms per day, and that
there is brushing up of several Of our
naval vessels, and a strengthening Of
our forces in the Gulf Fortunately
for the world hostile expeditions are 20,
SO mobile as the telegraph and the
press, or We might have several cam
paigns before the summer is over, aud
might annex Canada, Cuba, San Do.
mingo, and all the Islands upon, or con.
venient TO, our coast. There may, how
ever, be something in the wind. Before
coming to conclusions, let US wait and
see.

In the United States Senate on Mon.
day the Chaplain, in opening the session
with prayer, alluded to our relations
with Great Britain, aud asked the bless.
ing OF Almighty God upon both coun.
tries, and that no false step be taken
which might lead to war. Mr.. Chand.
Ter offered resolution that. in the
Judgment Of the Senate, the true solu.
ton Of all the controversies existing be.
tween Great Britain and the United
States will be found in the surrender of
all the British possessions in North
America to the people of the United
States, and requesting the President to
open negotiations, as soon as praetica.
Bile, for settlement Of all matters in dis.
pute on such basis. Mr.. Chandler made
lengthy speech in support of his views,
and upon the conclusion of his remarks
the resolution was referred to the Com.
mittee on Foreign Relations. The
President pro tenn. (Mr. Anthony laid
before the Senate letter from Hon
Reverdy johnson, enclosing memorial
OF the Executive Committee of the
American Emigration Society in Lon.
don, praying that assistance be granted
to persons who wish to emigrate to this
country. Tho memorial was ordered TO
lie on the table aud be printed. An.
other large batch Of appointments were
received from the President and referred

list OF nominations Of Consuls, Revenue
Officers, Postmasters, &c, was confirmed
in Executive session, and the Senate
