From the date ‘@f the supposed disaster, therefore, it is surmised that ‘the yosse! ia distress must.nave been the Re Galantuomo, though 1 i not generally supposed here that sbe bad puch a large number of passengers on board. When the news reached here yesterday morning |the fret impression was that the R: a’Italia had auffered esother accident; but # is upuecessary to st.te that such @eenct have been the case, as she did not leave the ‘arrows until the 9th iust.,two days after the suppused ‘disaster. ‘Many calamity has occurred to an Italian frigate it must bave been the Re Galantuomo, which lett en the 34 fast.

She was formerly a sailing vessel, and was constructed at the Royal Navy Yard, near Naples, A few years ago she was converted into a steam vessel by the introduction of an additional engine, which, under ordinary circumstances, could propel her at the rate of about nine knots an hour. At the time of the improvement no change was made in the hull of the vessel, as is usual; for generally when sailing sbips are altered into steamers they are Jengthen- ed..

Under these cir. cumstances they protest against the collection of taxes due for three years past, until the present restrictions upon trade and the obstacles to farming are removed, Meanwhile the order remains in force to sei at public auction all property upon which taxes shall not have ‘been paid at a certain date, and complaints are daily be- ing mado to the authorities, in anticipation of this harah Proceeding. kfforte are being madé to sebure legislation GENERAL ORDERE—NO. 100, Wan: atte ADJUTANT GENERAYS ; Wasuinotox, March 16, 1864. wa} ‘The following i# an order by tho President, of the United States:— ; Exxcurivs MANsion, ‘Wasmmctow, March 14, taba} In order to supply the force required to be drafted for the navy, and to provide an adequate raerve Force for all contingencies, in addition to the five hundred thou- sand men called for February 1, 1864, the call is hereby made and « draft ordered for two hundred thousand man for the military service, army, navy and marine corps of tho United States. .

For fifteen yenrs he was attached to the office of the Speaker, and was al- ways near that officer when the House was in session, bis presence being desirable in viow of the fact of his int! mate acqoniptance with parliamentary law, and his know- ledge and judgment often aiding in the decision of im- portant questions, RELEASE OF MA.

The amendment proposed by Mr. Halburd, of New York, providing that nothing in the resolution shall impair tho sinking fund created by the act of 1862, will very probably be adopted, but will not detract from the efficiency of the measure in its opera- tion to restrict speculation. in gold and prevent excessive premium upon it, ‘ihe debate today fajled to develop any new arguments of weight or importance on either side, and became very tedious be- 4 fore its close, Mr. Stevens having moved the previous question, 8 vote will be had vory soon after it is taken up to-morrow, and the general impression is that it will bo passed, although the vote will bo close. An amendment will probably be offered to tho bill to. -morrow authorizing the Secretary to issuo certiiicates payable in gold, to be used in the payment of custom dues, If this amendment should be adopted by tbe House it will necessarily send the bill back to tho Senate; but thero is no doubs of the altimate adoption of the Sen- ate Dill, porbaps with this amendmont, Thore are many visitors in Washington attendant én the proceedings of the House, evidently interested in the Gold bill, jadging by the eagerness with which they crowd the telegeaph office in the House of Representa tives gallery dod comménicating with their distant friends regarding the conditiomof that measure.
