The President will to-morrow promul- gate bis proclamation extending; the blocâ€" kade'of the ports of Virginia and North Carolina for the same reasons as hereto- fore declared by him for blockading other Southern ports. Capt. :Sti'ingliam wrll direct the general blockade rnoveirirnts. The Northern troops continue. unobâ€" structedly to arrive both by the river and radroad, An order will be issued to-morrow to prevent the soldiers from wearing side arms except on duty. VVASHINGTON, April 29. The President has issued the following proclamation 2â€". “ \Vliereas, for reasons assigned in my proclamntion of the 19th inst., the bloc- kade of ports of the seccdiiig States was established, and whereas public property has been seized, collections of revenue obstructed, and duly commissioned officers, while executing orders, have been arrested, held as prisoners, or impeded in their otli cial duties, “llllolll. due legal process by persons claiming to act under the authori- ties of Virginia and North Carolina, an efficient blockade of the ports of those States will also be establislied.â€"~Signed, Abraham Lincoln.” \YASHINGTON, April ‘29. Some excitement has been produced in diplomatic circles growing out of the pror clamntiou of the President, directing 3 blockade of the Southern ports. 1t ap- pears that :1 blockade, to be respected by foreign powers must not Only be effective, but that due notice must. be given of such interititn to their representativcs. \Vith Brazil anl all the South American Govâ€" ernments, a notice of ninety days is requiâ€" red under treaty, but this has not been given by our government, hence consigm merits of coffee and other natural produc- tions d: signed for southern ports, are deâ€" layed in their tinnsportation to that portion of the country. The merchants not being satisfied with the effects of an immediate blockade, it has, therefore, become neces- saw that specific inquiries be made of the Federal Government in relation to this subject, so that treaty i~i_;lits and privile- ges be not tlttllmgt’tl. The foreign miniâ€" sters “till lll“-l:»l llint the st'pulntions shall be respected and observed, otherwise naval forces will ht di-spatclied hither, as a means of foreign protectini. The delicacy of the qinstion is tpparent, and from what is known, may involve serious consequences to ah concerned, oi at all events, produce trouble now as well as in the future. Among the letters recently received at the Post Citiue 'llepartirieiit was one from a South Carolina I‘Ostmastcr, counter- maiitling an order for stamps, and refusing:r to make, returns, saying he will attend to his business, when tbegfhstmaster General shall reach \Vnsliington, Gentle-men of Virginia give as their opinion, that the ordinance of b‘ece5sion will be continued by over 100,000 majo- ritv. ALBANY, April ‘29. The. c was a desperate row at the Adams House, at one of the depots for the volunâ€" teers, between twelve and one. o’clock to. day. The lilttll have been complaining of the food furnished for some time, and toâ€" day an oliieer of one company knocked down a waiter. A general row followed; chairs, tables, dishes and window's Were all smashed to pieces. One of the Delevan House waiters was tlir0wn from a window and his leg badly broken. Pistols were fire l, knit’cs drawn, and several men were badly cut. The row scented nothing more than a drunken fray, and the men were engaged indisrriininutely, The Governor repaired to the scene, and the police were called out before the disgraceful scene could be quieted. \i’AsuiNGron, April 29. A rumour having been started that a battery had been thrown up by Virginia on the heights at the Write House, below Fort \‘v'nsliii'igtOii, on the Potomac River, an actual examination was yesterday made of the ground there, and for a mile or two all around, and nothing of th: kind was anywhere discovered. New Youx, April 29. it is stated that a grocer has arrived here from Charleston, who was impressed into the service of the cofcderate army. and escaped by concealing himself on a vessel. 11c reports that at the bombard- iut-nt of Fort Sumptcr at least 1000 re- b.ls were killed; L100 were killed in Moul- tri ,a.id 300 by Anderson‘s first discharge. n V The following is published :â€"â€"-‘ To Major Robert zklltltn‘s‘OXl, late Commander of Fort tfuziipter, I: am directed by the Pre- sident to communicate to you,aiid through you to the oflicers and men under your command at Forts Moultrie and Su'npter, the approbation of the Government of your and their judicious and gallant con- duettherc, and tender you and them the that ks of the Government?

A most unjustifiable attack was made on Rg‘yulutifin. the steamer chstmorcland, a New Orâ€" leans packet, at Napoleon, Arkansas, on Thursday night. it appears from the statement of the Captain that he rounded to at the place, for the purpose of tifkiiig‘in freight. Soon as the boat was tied up, the clerk went ashore. in a ,moment he returned and said the wharfm‘aster inform- ed him that the mob was going to take the boat. This information was immediately followed by a volley from the guns and pistols of a crowd of li‘ty or sixty persons. The boat was crowd-d with j‘irisseiigers, many of whom Were ladies. A passenger named l'leuiy Hammer, of Memphis, was shot through the heart and died instantly. One fireman was wounded. The captain had the wheels set going,breuking the line. and got off. A str‘21;,§gliiir,,1r fire was kept tip for some time. .The boat arrived be e last night. The holes in her look as if made by grape-shot. fired from a cannon. INDEPENDENCE, Mon April '29.

A small secession flag was displayed by a bu;iness house here yesterday evening, but it was so insignificant tnat no notice was taken of it. Union flags are waving in many parts of the city, and the Union feelingr was al- most unanimous. A The Military Express to the New Mexi- can forts has been discontinued.

In the British Home of Commons, the Government announced Without official in- formation the alleged Annexation of St. Domingo to Spain. The Italian question in general, in the House of Lords, was debated; the French occupation of Rome was deplored, and the prospect ofa war with Austri‘l and Italy deprecated by all the speakers. In the House of Commons, Lord J, Russell stated that all the Foreign Minis- ters, except the American, left leddo to be protected by ships of war, in conse- quence of intimidation having been used to- wards them, which the Japnnese Govern- ment has not endeavoured to check. The Paris correspondent of the Daily News says, that If usaia informed France that in consequence of events in \Varsaw, it will be impossible to join France in any measures for the settlement of the Eastern question. The alleged reason is, that Russia regards France as an accomplice in the Polish disturbance. A report is going the rounds in England that President Lincoln is dead.

The action ofthc Ministry in tlisilatttlil'tg the southern army, and the measures fakcn for Ls reorganizâ€" ation Were debated. Garibaldi made :i speech so violent, that it exerted a tumult in the Chamber. He made offensive al- lusion t0 the f‘illlleI’)’, against which Count ‘Javour protested. The President of the Chamber put on his hat, and the sitting was suspended with brief intervals. Gari- baldi, on resuming, spoke with more moâ€" deralien. He deferded his comrades in arms, and said that. the formation of three divisions of volunteers, as decreed, was not sufficient for national armament. Bixio made a conciliatory speech. Count Cavonr said he accepted the words of conciliation. Garibaldi explained several facts alluded to by Count Cavour, and expressed his belief that Count Cavour loved Italy. lie, designated the French army as an enemy to Italy because it occupied Rome. On the 19th Garibaldi again received loud applause in the Chamber. The ex citeineiit on the previous day had subsided, and words of concord had passed between Count Cavour and Bixio, which was ap- plauded by all. Garibaldi expressed liim._ self satisfied.

Affects Us, THE commercial and industrial crisis, which is the result of the present political condition of the United States has had the. effect of causing a great milliliter of Canadi- uns,\vho had abandoned their native country, to seek their fortniie in the neighboring Republic, to return to Canada. Few transient residents among the Aiiiei'icans feel a suffici- ent, interest. in the question at issue between the North and South. to be willing to "oluntecr to fight their battles, or to become involved in their quarrels; and as all kinds of industrial pursuits are eflbctually checked by the disturbed state ofthe country, these people will uatu-rall-ly indcuvoi: to make good their exit as sooi as possible. Hence we find that large numbers are coming across the lines, and taking up their abode among us. lt is stated in Le Canadich that 200 Canadians arrived at St Ilyueintlie on last Saturday, from the UMted States. The city of Toronto. too, is receiving consider- able. additions to its population; and empty houses are. not now so plentiful as during the past winter. Native Arnericaus,as well as Cana- dians, are constantly arriving; they are those, too, who belong to the. more pe'aceable and well disposed portions of the community, and who will form quite a valuable acquisi- tion to the country. Additional particulars reach us daily of the extensive preparations that are being made for the ap- proaching struggle. attack and defence; towards it CG‘ll ofthe contending parties is concentrating its chief strength ; and here in all probability the first serious engagement will take place. The possession of the capitol by the. Southern leaders would render the position 01 the confederate States very fei‘midable,and obtain for them a recognition ainongforoign nations which nothing else could secure.â€" Tlie time, however, has evidently passed when this could be decom- plished without serious difficulty. Troops have been pouring in for se- veral weeks, and it is said that the city now contains not less than 20,â€" 000 men. Provisions are. extremely hiin and difficult. to procure; the seceSslouists having, striven by Every means in their power, to. inâ€" tercept supplies. livery exertion; however, will doubtless be made to prevent. any serious inconvenience for want of food. The Southern party already begins to exhibit in- i’nistakeablo evidence, either that. they have been deceived in their estimate of Northern pluck, or they find themSclves uticqual to the task of throwing offtbe authority of the Federal Government and achieving their independence. The spirit of (Bllflltltylaoi‘d which they displayed at the outset is beginning to cool down, and the, loot. and threatenng langu-a age of a few months ago is giving place to an earnest desire for a ‘ces- sation of hostilities.’ Frothy decla- ination and the stern realities of war are found to be widely differ- ILIvci-y event of iiriportance has gone against them. The burn- tugr of Gosport navy-yard involving a loss of $30,000,000 worth of ship- ping, ‘ the seizures of imi'riense {a ‘1‘, ti: quantities of arms intended for the South, and the fact that, the govern- ment loan, which wasreporicd to ‘.‘.‘“;';‘.s.â€"v.:a:;wva_'t.‘. .1. :‘I "- '. The city’ of W asbington forms the main point of ,ooo,ooo ‘ mar: '. ------ lmust very materially cripple their energes, and give an immense ad- ‘vantage to their enemies! A de- cided reaction is certainly takin place in some. of the. seceding States. ~Maryland, it is confidently asserted, contains a majority at the present moment in favor of maintaining the Union. The fact that application has been made to the authorities at Washington for a temporary cessa- - tion of liostilities,,and the procla- mation issued at Montgomery, di- recting volunteers to remain at home until called upon, do not af- ford any ground‘for the supposition . that their prospects of success are of a flattering nature. Indeed, judgâ€" ing from the present position and resources of each party,tliei'e can be little doubt as to the final result; and the sooner this result is arrived at the better. Although our sym- pathies are with the people of the North and the cause they advocate, yet we are forced to admit that the system of tactics recommended by the principal organ of the Lincoln Government, such a6 every right minded man must condemn. It is proposed that the torch ofthe incen- diary sbould accompany the sword, and thus rendei' the horrors of war doubly dreadful. Here are the words of the New York Tribune~a source from which we would ex- pect inore’of humanity :-â€"“ Let the “ war be instantly carried into “ Africa. Let troops be poured “down upon Baltimore, and, if 3" need be, raze it to the ground. “ Send troops to Southern Virginia “immediately, and let them scour “ Southampton and the adjoining “ counties with fire and sword.” Such a course as is here recomâ€" mended will not, we are confident, meet the approval of the majority of = the American people, and it. would tend very much to sink the charac- ter ofthc Federal Government in the eyes of the civilized world. â€"--â€"â€"â€"-â€"m>o< The Stoufifirille Spring Show * and Ploughing Match.
