From Washington. Washington, March 10. --A Cabinet meeting was held last night on other subjects than appointments to office. The condition of the Southern forts held by the Federal troops engaged the deep attention of Gen. Scott and others, yesterday. From recent information it appears there is much dissatisfaction in the army even on the frontiers. Secretary Seward will be able to attend to his duties to-morrow. A number of subordinate officers in the army have resigned, and others are preparing to follow their example. There appears to be but little doubt in the best informed political circles to-night, that it was decided in Cabinet meeting last night to evacuate Fort Sumter.

Loss of the New York Ship Middlesex --Fifty-five Persons Drowned.--The ship Middlesex, Capt. Parmalee, of and for New York, from Liverpool, was abandoned at sea in a sinking condition, on the 10th of March.--When about 21 days out, and lying to in a gale of wind, the ship sprang a leak, the cargo shifted and she was thrown on her beam ends. For three days efforts were made to keep her afloat, the pumps were constantly going, and the masts were cut away, but it was all to no purpose. Finally, when the water was almost up to the main deck, it was decided to abandon her. She had six boats, all of which were destroyed, except one, in which the captain, eleven of the crew, and four passengers, succeeded in reaching Blasket Island, on the coast of Kerry, after five days tossing on the Atlantic. The occupants of the boat were in a perfectly exchanged state when they reached the island, and two of her passengers dropped dead shortly after landing. The names of the survivors are as fo

. This was the first Revolutionary tribunal, which was dissolved on the 1st of December --the two parties being engaged at that time in a desperate struggle, and both, it is presumed, being quite willing to suppress that formidable institution, as long as the result was doubtful. In January, 1793, however, Louis XVI. was condemned and beheaded, the Girondists having been compelled, under the influence of fear, to vote for his death. The Jacobins followed up their advantage, and on the 10th of March, under terror of a general massacre, obtained the re-establishment of the Revolutionary Tribunal. This second Tribunal was the genuine simon pure — the real Tribunal — that perpetrated those murders which, even now, it makes the blood run cold to think of. It possessed unlimited powers, and its President, Fauquier Tinville, was the most cold-blooded monster of those dreadful times. Nobody who was denounced ever escaped.--On his trial, it was proved that one hundred and sixty persons, of

Some of the men, on reading the Dispatch containing an account of the affair, imbibed the idea that the new recruit was the murderer, which he confessed on his arrest. They then brought him to Richmond. Peter P. Cary was held to bail for his good behavior for threatening personal
