The Washington correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Commercial writes: at is
stated that Secretary Boutwell,, before
his departure for Massachusetts,, gave
Deputy Commissioner Douglass certain
orders, which would, in their tenor, seem
to imply q belief that Douglass would
soon be the Acting Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, and it is thought that
Mr.. Boutwell, left Washington in the firm
belief that he was to be sustained by the
President in his fight with Pleasanton.

REFUGxss d om Alsace and Lorraine are
flockinc into Paris in immense numbers,
ragged and starving, intensifying the COM
missarist snd sanitary difficulties Of that
unfortunate city. The Assembly have
voted large grants of land in Algeria to
these refugees from tie ceded provinces,
but few Of them are in circumstances to
profit by the national bounty, and it is
possible that Germany may take umbrage
at this officious manifestation of synpa-
