It was believed in Richmond that Mr. Davis has just notified the Governors of the border States now acting in hostility each of the others.-- This is not a movement of the Government, though known to Davis. At first he discouraged it, but since Lincoln's proclamation he has withdrawninclude New York has caused a delay, and now the time will depend upon how soon Davis is to attack Washington. I have told you not all that I know, but all that I cws: To hold Virginia, as Maryland is held, with a strong hand, and await Mr. Jefferson Davis in the Old Dominion until the hot weather is over; meantime, to seal herry Southern port, and see what comes of it, and if, when the cool months begin, Davis and Company have not been disposed of by their own people, to treat them as the

Mr. Dallas refused, however, to present them to the Court of St. James, in the absence of orders from the Federal Government. It is stated — and if true may have a material effect upon the future policy of the revolutionists of the South--that the Ministers of England and France have protested to the Montgomery Government against issuing letters of marque to privateers, and that Mr. Davis will not dare to take the responsibility of establishing his privateer system in the teeth of these two powerful maritime nations. The Government at Washington have purchased twenty-five additional steamers, and will blockade every port on the Southern coast within twenty days. The Union sentiment in Virginia and Maryland appears to be growing stronger every hour (!) A deputation from Western Virginia waited on the President yesterday to assure him that the people of that section we

Robert Toombs, a copy of Lincoln's blockade proclamation.--Viewing it as an official courtesy, the Secretary of State here enclosed a copy of President Davis' proclamation in reference to privateering, in a Government envelope, in return.--There has also been officially sent a copy of the President's Message, from which Mr. Lincoln can gain much instruction.
