Hicks proposes the mediation of Lord Lyons about the passage of troops through Maryland. Mr. Seward refuses positively to accede to this. The United States steamer Pawnee, con- veying troops, and the steamer Keystone State, passed up to Washington this morn ing. Ouiy marines aud sailors appeared to he on board. The Courier also contains the following dispatch, received hy Gov. Pickens: Not: folk, April 2d.—-Families living close to Fort Monroe have been ordered to leave, and are doing so. The vandals in tho fort are destroying tho small arms, spiking tho cannon, and are mining into the walls. Five large steamers came in from sea to day, with troops. Four of them went up the Bay. Tho other took up a thousand troops from the fort and followed. Rely on this? Norfolk, April 28.—Lincoln sent for Mayor Brown of Baltimore and Gov. Hicks on the 21st. ' They held a long conference.

Sho was not mo lested, because thero was no Virginia batteries on the banks of the river. Fort Washington is still in the possession of the United States troops. It is reported here that Lincoln has sent a messenger to Gov. Hicks, with proposals for a truce until the meeting of Congress. This, howover is not generally credited. Senator Mason, in a speech here last night, said that the Virginia Convention, before its adjournment, would unite Vir ginia to the Confederate States, and ask the people to ratify their action in May. All the flags here are Confederate flags, with eight stars. It is reported hero that eight steam transports have just left New York with troops for Washington. The Pennsylvania troops, whose presence near Cockoysville so excited the war spirit of tho Baltimore people on Sunday, started on t heir return towards Harrisburg yester day afternoon. A Boston regiment and the Seventh New York regiment are supposed to have landed at Annapolis, but finding the rails tuken np, they started to Washington overland, when the people began a guerilla warfare against them. Gov. Hicks has written a letter asking a reference of some question to Lord Lyons, to which Seward responded that no domes tic contention whatever that may arise among parties in this Republic ought in any case be referred to foreign arbitrament —least of all to the arbitrament of an European Monarchy. Marlboro,’ April 20.—Every available man that could be raised in the county, and mustered with military companies, has gone this morning to Baltimore, to aid in resisting tho Northern troops. Tho following appeared in some of tbe ‘extras” issued in Baltimore on Sunday afternoon: Information from Washington, which was doomed reliable, was circulated last night to the effect that Col. Lee, of Vir ginia, nt the head of seven thousand men, wollarmod, was in possession of the Heights opposite Washington, and that this gallant officer had notified Lincoln that if any further attack was made upon Baltimore, by Fort McHenry or Northern troops, he would shell the city of Washington, and that ho had his batteries ready to open at a moment’s notice. It-is also confidently asserted that a powerful forco from different parts of Vir ginia were hastening there, and that Col.

N;:w York, April 18, via Alexandria,21. —Tho city is in the hand* of an abolition mob, protected and urged on by a Black Republican police. No man’s life or pro perty is safe who happens to be boro at tbe South. The liberty of speech and of the press are suppressed. The reign of ter rorism is inaugurated as effectually as Robespierre did in Franco. The universal burst of feeling against the South, though exaggerated by the press, nevertheless con tains a most malignant and persistent ele ment of hellish hatred. They expect and intend to expend 810(1,000,000 in tho Avar against the South, and then compel it to pay a part of the debt. Nsw York, April 18—9J P.

The London Times, received by steamer to-night., warns the Northern States that their attempt at coercion may result as the coercive policy of Great Britain did to wards the Colonies. Tho order to refuse clearances for tbo Southern States will strike u serious blow at tho Northern shipping and coastiug trade. Boston, April 18.—A meeting of the Bank officers, representing all tho Boston Banks, was held here this morning, when a reso lution was adopted to loan the Stato of Massachusetts 10 per cent, on their entire capital for defence of the Government.— The capital of the Boston Banks amounts to §38.500,000.

All along the lino of railroad from Alex andria to Richmond, the troops are drilling and the Confederate flag is flying. The Avar spirit is now thoroughly arous ed, and the Capital must soon fall into the hands of our troops.

At last accounts from Norfolk and Ports mouth, everything was comparatively quiet, and tho troops were busily'employ ed in placing the harbor in a complete stato of defence. It is believed that the cost to the Gov ernment by the destruction of property in the Navy Yard, could not have been much short of eight or ten millions. Tim cost of those immense and magnificent ship houses, and their contents, forms a con siderable item in the account, and so does that of the Pennsylvania. Several com panies from the South aro reported to havo arrived at Portsmouth yesterday. Tho Norfolk Herald has the following in telligence : • _ On Sunday evening, the hull ofthe good' old ship United States, in which Decatur captured the Macedonian, was taken pos session of at the navy-yard by an efficient crew and towed down to the narrow part of the channel a mile beiow Fort Norfolk, where sho was moored across tho ohannel and Sunk. Only a few feet brought her in contact with the bottom; and the naval force that shall attempt to pass up to our harbor must hold a parley with the old veteran till they can persuade her to stand a-one-sidc; while in the meantime the shot and shells from the two forts above, one on the right and the other on the left) are hammering away at them with the big gest sized shot and shell.

Mr. Richardson was fired upon and the ball killed one ofthe men from the Cumberland, who was assisting in rowing the boat. Mr. Richardson was landed at Old Point arid got home in safety Sunda t We learn that another man belonging to the Cumberland was unintentionally killed on Sunday by a man who fired upon a de serter in Hampton Roads. Captain Culling, of the U. S. schooner Buchanan, was in Washington with his vessel a few days ago, and finding that the war was upon us, and supposing that liis vessel would bo of great service to Vir ginia, tendered his resignation. Ho then hastened to his vessel, spread her canvas to the breeze and started for Norfolk. When passing Old Point he was hailed, and ordered to round to, but he kept on, and when opposite tho magazine, finding our eitizens here had seized tho public property at that place, he loaded his ves sel with powder, sent her up to Richmond, and delivered her and the powder safely to tho State authorities.
