Mr. Russell's third letter to the London times. Washington, April 9th. The critical position of the Federal Government has compelled its members to preserve secrecy. Never before under any Administration was so little of the Councils of the Cabinet known to the public or to those who are supposed to be acquainted with the opinions of the statesmen in office. Mr. Seward has issued the most stringent orders to the officers and clerks in his department to observe the rules which heretofore have been disregarded in reference to the confidential character of State papers in their charge.--The sources of the fountains of knowledge from which friendly journalists drew so freely are thus stopped without fear, favor, or affection towards any. The result has been much irritation in quarters where such "interference" is regarded as unwarrantable, or, at least, as very injurious. The newspapers which enjoyed the privilege of free access to dispatches are hatching canards, which t

weak company of artillery is marching on board a ship, its movements are chronicled in columns of vivid description, and its footsteps are made to sound like the march of a vast army. The telegraph from Washington has learnt its daily message about Fort Sumter and Fort Pickens by heart, and the world has been soothed daily by the assurance that Gen. Bragg is ready, and that the South Carolinians can no longer be restrained. But there is always a secret understanding that Gens. Bragg and Beauregard will be more ready still next day, and that the people will be more unrestrainable by next telegram. When I landed in New York, the first news I learnt was that Fort Sumter would be evacuated next day; if not, that the supplies would be cut off and that the garrison would be starved out. I have learnt how to distrust prophecy, and I am going South in the hope that the end is not yet.

An attempt may be made to reinforce Fort Pickens; but neiorts they hear, and however they may come — no matter whence or in what guise — there is no truth in them if they indicate the smallest intention on the part of Mr. Lincoln to depart from the policy indicated in his inaugural address.

part of the Government to hazard the loss of life and great risk which must inevitably attend any attempt to relieve or carry off the garrison, now that the channels are under the fire of numerous heavily armed batteries, which the people of South Carolina were permitted to throw up without molestation. The operations of a relieving force would have to be conducted on a very large scale by troops disembarking on the shores and taking the batteries in reverse, in conjunction with an attack from the sea; and, after all, such expedition would be futile, unless it were intended to occupy Charleston and try the fortune of war in South Carolina--an intention quite opposed to the expressions, and I believe, the feelings of the Cabinet at Washington, not to speak of the people of the Border States, and large remnants of the Union. From your correspondent at New York, you will receive full particulars of the movements of troops, and of naval preparations which are reported in the papers, and
