hat consequences of which you can readily guess. The intention is to fire three cities simultaneously, at as many places as possible, and at the same hour at night, This is to be done the night before the attack on Washington. -- has the direction of the whole plot. One hundred and twenty-five men have been assigned to your city and Brooklyn, and eighty to 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 At first he discouraged it, but since Lincoln's proclamation he has withdrawn his opposition. The men entrusted with the execution of this plot all belong to the inner temple of the Knights of the Golden Circle. The plan has been maturing for two months, but did not include New York until within a week or ten days. The men assigned to Boston and Philadelphia have been at their posts for a week, but the determination to include New York has caused a delay, and now the time will depend upon how soon Davis is to attack Washington.

troops at Annapolis. Seven hundred left there last night, bound out. They are to land near Baltimore, to co-operate with troops approaching that city from the North. Several persons have been arrested in the neighborhood of Annapolis, as spies. Some had made accurate survey and minute details of the operations there. The sloop-of-war Allegheny, the Forward, the Baltic, and the Kedar, are off Annapolis. Travel between Perryville and Annapolis is uninterrupted; twelve steamers are on the route. The railroad between Annapolis and Washington is guarded by Federal troops. It is supposed the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will soon be made a military road. [Second Dispatch.] Alexandria, May 5. -- This city, it is expected, will be occupied by Federal troops tomorrow, who will advance from Washington by the Long Bridge. Two transports, with men and munitions, passed up to Washington to-day. Lincoln visited and inspected the Navy-Yard to-day.

It is supposed that General Harney will command the troops here. The New York Albion, while declaring nonintervention between the North and South, states that the British Prime Minister had authoritatively advised British subjects to express no opinion upon the merits of the unhappy controversy; and further, the same paper states that all the Governments of Europe will treat privateering as piracy. According to the following it would seem that Alexandria is included in one of Lincoln's military districts: The War Department at Washington has issued an order which constitutes three new military departments, the first of which composes the District of Columbia, according to its original boundary, Fort Washington and the country adjacent, and the State of Maryland as far as Bladensburg, inclusive. The second is the Department of Annapolis, with the headquarters at that city, and including the country for twenty miles on each side of the railroad from Annapolis to Wa

Black Republican Outrage. --The steamer Glen Cove, of Richmond, Captain John H. Freeman, was fired at by one of Lincoln's pirates, Saturday morning last. The Glen Cove was about to put into Stone-House Wharf, on the Surrey county shore, when two shots were fired from a three-masted propeller.--The two shots were well aimed, and came skipping over the water very gracefully, but did not reach the boat. We must soon find means to put a stop to this species of annoyance. The guilty parties, if apprehended, should be summarily disposed of as pirates.

the Confederacy known as the United States of America, and for the better maintenance of her rights, honor and independence, has United with other States in a new Confederacy, under the title of the Confederate States of America; and whereas Abraham Lincoln, the President of the United States, is attempting, by force of arms, to subjugate these States in violation of the fundamental principles of American liberty, 1. Therefore, Resolved, By the members of the Baptist Convention of the Staid authority, whether ecclesiastical or civil, yet as citizens we deem it but a duty to urge the union of all the people of the South in defence of the common cause, and to express the confident belief that in whatever conflict the madness of Mr. Lincoln and his Government may forces upon us, the Baptists of Georgia will not be behind any class of our fellow-citizens in maintaining the independence of the South by any sacrifice of treasure or of blood. 3. Resolved, That we acknowledge with

denied by, Lord Lyons. But, if any of our readers are still inclined to question the correctness of these assumptions, we may with perfect propriety invite their attention to the extracts we make from the loading London, Liverpool and Manchester journals, just to hand by the Arabia. If there be any sentiments of sympathy with the North in these journals, we are unable to see them. The Cotton Lords of Manchester, the Money Kings of London, the shipping merchants and shop-keepers of Liverpool, all sing but one song,--and that is, "Separation it must be, Mr. Lincoln," --but "under no circumstances civil war." One of them, (the Liverpool Times,) even goes so far as to characterize the President's declaration of a more vigorous policy towards the seceding States, as absolutely "diabolical," while another alludes to it in terms which would. seem to indicate that the writer had been studying the recent style of the Charleston Mercury or the Richmond Examiner.--N. Y. Express, May 4.

The London Times on the American Crisis --The London Times editorially reiterates hopes for the maintenance of peace, and thinks it is still possible that the warlike intentions of President Lincoln may not be carried out into civil war. One of its articles concludes as follows : " We would rather hope that the good sense of the Americans, and the peaceful counsels of this country, may bring about a reconciliation before the dispute has been too far carried. As long as the two sections of the Union refrain from hostilities, it would be the height of arrogance and folly to interfere; but when the soil and seas of the New World are likely to be stained with blood,foreign nations may surely remonstrate in the cause of humanity."

ir howling and destructive contents into the ranks of the invading foe. I think it is nonsense and idle talk, from what I have seen and heard since here, for any one to entertain such an idea as that " Western Virginia is not loyal to the State. " Of the troops at Harper's Ferry, not one is from the Eastern part of the State. I have conversed freely with many of them, and the unanimous voice seems to be, we are for our State, " right or wrong, " though many were strong Union men until Lincoln compelled their native State to be no longer a part of that " glorious Union " that was. The majority of the citizens of Harper's Ferry, I am sorry to say, are disloyalists; some went so far as to go to Washington and request the so-called Government there to send more Federal troops to the former place to protect the Armory from the army of Secessionists, and also told the said Government that, " if Virginia did secede, Harper's Ferry would not. " One of these very men shouldered his

Brazil.--Seignor Don Felix Decastro, agent from the Brazilian Government, visited our city last Saturday. He came by way of Washington city, where he had a conference with Lincoln and Seward on the subject of the blockade of Southern ports. Mr. D. expresses the opinion that this blockade will not be agreeable to his Government or that of France, and he is confident that the Brazilian Government sympathizes with the Southern Confederacy. Mr D. left on Monday evening for New Orleans, but will return in a few days.-- Montgomery Mail.
