Nine companies of Artillery are posted in Florida to aid the effort now in progres there there to effect the removal of the Indians. Coercive measures are to be used if found nec essary.

Ile recommends that the minimum organization of all companies be' flied as in the Mounted riflemen, at tl4 privates; and that there be added to the present military estab lishment one regiment of dragoons, and two regiments of riflemen, whiclivvould give a min imumorganization of 15,1128 officers and men, which may bo expanded, if tlie limit fixed by the law of June 7th, 1850, be continued, to 17,414, and on a war establishment, of 128 privates per company, to 27,818, thus provi ding for a state of war an effective increase of from 10,000 to 12,000 men without the crea tion of now regiments.

He has, howeier, Bent Feud Effendi-as Imperial Com missioner to the army on the Danube to re strain the ardor of Omcr Pasha, and thus give diplomacy another chance. The following is the present position of mil itary affairs: Omer Pasha holds Kahtfat with 40,000 troops and is fortifying himself in the strongest manner in the triangle between Kra. 1. juva, Kalafat and Marobi, thus securing com 1' muoication between both banks, and having the base of his operations to not on in Lesser Wallachia.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN NEW TORN. The fire commenced a little after one o'clock on Saturday. , afternoon.in the' extensive publi cation establishment of Harpers Brothers, just as the employees of the place were resuming their labors after the dinner hour.

This accounts for the sudden spread of the flames, in an instant almost wrapping the en establishment in one sheet of flame.
