Retired as a Commodore.

THE RESULT OF THE SENATE'S FAILURE 10
CONFIRM COMMODORE TRUxTUN's PROMOTION.
The failure of the Senate yesterday to con-
firm the promotion of Commodore Truxtun to
be rear admiral, to which rank he has been en-
titled since the 10th Of February, compels the
retirement to-day of that officer al a commo-
dore, and Congress alone can now give him ad.
ditional rank and pay. A similar condition OF
affairs is unknown to the Navy department.
Commodore Truxtun was to succeed Admiral
English from the 10Th of February, and Com
modore Mayo was 10 succeed Admiral Simpson
from the 4th of March. It is q question now
whether Commodore Mayo will take Commo-
dore Truxtun's place for the earlier promotion,
and Commodore Jouett, who is next in the line
of promotion. will succeed Admiral Simpson
or whether Commodore Jouett will succeed
Admiral English, and Commodore Mayo re-
tain the position to which he was entitled by
the retirement OF Admiral Simpson. In all
probability the former course win be decided
unOn.
