From Washington.

the Removal of General Fremont--British
neutrality.



Washington, Oct. 6.
--Nothing but an imperious demand from the public interests induces the Government to supersede General Fremont.

The Attorney General is unreserved in the expression of his opinion censuring General Fremont. He does not hesitate to pronounce his retention in office as a public crime.

Public notice was given that the Savannah blockade would be violated by the British steamer Bermuda, and the information was communicated to Lord Lyons. He was told that a part of the freight of the Bermuda would probably be 70 tons of powder, Enfield rifles, 50 rifled cannon, 60,000 percussion caps, a large quantity of blankets, clothing, quinine, and morphine.

Remonstrances against the sailing of the Bermuda, during the time she was completing her cargo, were made by Minister Adams in London, but the Foreign Office did not feel at liberty to, or did not, recognize the obligation to arrest the assumed unlawful voyage.
