It is pretty evident that all the tasuranoes which they have received were n >t sincerely and honey;ly intended. Important from Washington. Washington, April 5.—An informant, who is usually reliable, states that the Adminis tration intends concentrating all the available military and naval Mom of the ootintry at Tortugaa aad Key Went; thence troops will be supplied to Fort Pickens ; and if that point Is attacked, troops are to be taken there from Tortugas, in order to resist the attack. It le believed that wilt bij a eufficienoy ur warlike movements to cause I be border States to join tbs Southern Confederacy, as the Government oaanot now recognise its Independence by treaty. Another informant states that a part of the plan is to blockade the Mississippi, rtiake Ship Island, and perhaps other stations in the South. Ano> her informant states that a large amount of ermy and naval stores, iooluding ■even mountain bowiliter’s have been shipped hence, by express, to Fort Hamilton These movements look to land m well as to sea oper ations.

M.—There are heveral unusual movements goiog oa in the military and naval departments of tbs Government. The oily ia rife with rumors of a most exciting character, all tending to strengthen (bs belief that a collision between this Government and tbs States is inevitable. Iheee rumors era rendered mots probable by stelements made in several of tbs Black Republican journal* of New York oily. Those papers stats that the Government has char tered several steamers, and that great activity prevails at ihs various miiiiary poets in Nsw York harbor; and soma of them go so far aa to bin! where the troops are to be isni. One sajs it is believed st the Navy yard that forte Sumter and Pickens are to be iHnforoed; another eays il ia rumored that the aoldiers are to be sent to Texas to repel the Indians, at tbs request of Gov. Houston ; and another says that they are destined to llraios Santiago. Tha 44 Pott” haa heard a rumor that the secret agents sent to Kuropean Governments to ascertain their findings in regard to South ern movement, have returned, and reported that Franos and England will not recognise the naw Government. This however, is doubt ed, ss the tone of the foreign press is favora ble to recognition, and England, particularly, oaanot do without Southern cotton. Our oily is in an intense excitement. A number of tha Black Republican Gover nors of soma of the States met in aeoret oon clave here last night, but tha result of tbeir deliberation haa aot leaked out. Some of the monied mon in this eity for warded dispatches to New York to-day, de claring their belief that a collision can scarce ly be avoided. Well informed persons here state that tbs Administration is making extensive prepara tions for land nod sea operations, ana that an attempt wit! he made to lake some of tha na tal stations at tbs South. These reports ss well as others of a similar nature, are sceepted here aa reliable ; and among those best iaformed, they are believed to be exisltog faots.

An association of ties moot prominent mer chants and eilimns of Naw York, has bean formed for tha purpose of uniting Staten Is land, Long Island, aad Manhattan Island, aad incorporating them into one free city. We nre not astonished at thia. The Boo. Daniel E. Sickles, last December, first distinct ly announced this as tha policy which Now York would pursue, in csss the Southern States would secede. Fernando Wood, Mayor of New York, has since advocated the step in an offi cial communication to the eity authoritiea of New York. It is the only policy that will pre sent New York from going dowa in wealth and population-'in fact, her only salvation. If she does not seeode from the United States and es tablish free trade—open her ports to the world —the days of her prosperity are numbered. Richmond Whig.
