Report of the Committee of the Peace Conference, &c.

Washington, Feb. 15.
--The committee appointed by the Peace Conference reported a plan of adjustment to-day, compounded of the Crittenden and Guthrie resolutions and the Border State resolutions. It establishes the principle of the Missouri Compromise north and Popular Sovereignty south of the line of 36.30.

Reliable information has been received here that Maj. Anderson feels secure in his present position, and in case of attack, feels able to maintain himself until he could be reinforced.

The value of the small arms and ordnance recently seized at Napoleon, Ark., is between $8,000 and $9,000. They were intended for no other purpose than for the troops defending the Texan and Arkansas frontiers from Indians. The route is now left unsafe and unprotected.

The Republicans, in caucus meeting, unanimously approved Mr. Bingham's Force bill, authorizing the collection of revenue on shipboard outside of insurrectionary ports. It will be presented on its passage next week.
