regard to the retention of the forts occupied by the United States, that is a question which is now brought down to the simple point of holding or abandoning Fort Pickens, for we assume that Fort Sumter will be evacuated at an early day, and Forts Jefferson, at Tortugas, and Taylor, at Key West, lying far out at sea, and being obviously of national importance, are not included in the number of the posts which the State of Florida is entitled to claim on the ground of any necessity for her local defence. Forts Jefferson and Taylor were built with paramount reference to the commerce of the United States, and should remain in the hands of the Government which built them in the interest of its commerce.--The Key West naval coal depot and wharf, the marine hospital, the army barracks, the admiralty courts and wrecking organization, and the series of light-houses — Loggerhead, Tortugas, Key West, Sand Key, Sombrero, Carysfort, Cape Florida, Jupiter, and Cape Canaveral — will not, we take

From Pensacola.Reinforcements — the Seizure of St. Domingo--France-Spanish Designs on Mexico. Montgomery, Ala., April 2. --W. H. Ward, editor of the "Key of the Gulf," has arrived here from Pensacola. He states that on the 25th ult., the steamer Gen. Rusk arrived at Key West with 200 troops for Fort Taylor, and 100 for Fort Jefferson, Tortugas. The United States steamer Crusader, Lieut. Craven, had reached Key West with marines. The United States frigate Brooklyn was going into Key West, on the 16th. There was no doubt she had left her troops at Fort Pickens. The Texas Commissioners stipulated that the Rusk's troops should be landed at New York, and the commander of the three companies on board of her signed a paper exonerating Capt. Smith, of the Rusk, from any blame for the deception. By an arrival at Key West, on the 26th ult., It was reported that the Spanish flag had been hoisted at St. Domingo by the French and Spaniards. The Spanish President ha

d at Fort Hamilton, nearly one hundred men were missing, and were supposed to have deserted. A few, however, rather the worse for liquor, have since returned. Two officers, detailed to accompany the troops, resigned almost at the last moment. The expected steamers. There is a general impression, in many circles, that the steamers Coatzacoalcos, Gen. Rusk, and Champion, are ordered to come by way of Florida, communicate with the authorities of the Home Squadron, Fort Taylor and Fort Jefferson, and if soldiers be required, to land them peaceably, if practicable; forcibly, if necessary. The landing of men in the enormous launches would not be so difficult as is imagined. The launches. A frigate's "first launch" is a vessel almost as large as a small schooner. She is coppered and copper fastened, and could stand a shot better than any of the chartered steamers.--The second and third launches are of proportionate size. The strength of the boats is very great. Several

at no attempt shall be made to reinforce the forts possessed by the United States, or to recapture those within the seceded States, or exact payment of imposts, &c. An effort was made by the extreme Union men, headed by Mr. Carlile, to strike out a material portion of the resolution, but it secured only seventeen votes. A modification was made, however, drawing a distinction between forts, which Messrs. Summers, Baldwin, and their friends, maintain are of "national" importance, (such as Fort Jefferson on the Tortugas, and Fort Taylor at Key West,) and those which are situated inland. The resolution, as thus amended, was adopted. The 13th resolution was amended, on motion of Mr. Johnson, of Richmond, and passed in the following from: In the opinion of this Convention, the people of Virginia would regard any action of the Federal Government or of the Confederated States, tending to produce a collision of forces, pending efforts for the adjustment of existing difficulties, as unwi

On Monday evening he returned with two hundred negroes, collected from a few plantations, and by the ready assent and cheerful offer of the masters, and the willing service of the servants. These sturdy and faithful laborers are now, under competent direction, at work for the defence of the harbor.-- Charleston Courier. The Post-Office Department has cancelled its contract with the steamer Isabel for the conveyance of the mails from Charleston, to Key West. A Washington dispatch says: It is understood that Robert M. Magraw, of Maryland, was to-day nominated as Consul at Liverpool. A private letter just received from Fort Jefferson, Key West, says that five Spanish vessels are lying off that harbor. Their purpose is not known, but the supposition there is that they meditate an attack on the Mexican coast. The United States cruising vessel having been withdrawn, the people there are in a defenceless condition.
