The Constitution deseants upon the ability and influence of modern journalism, and ex- ‘presses its wonder at the temper and spirit manifested by journalists professing to be regu- Jated by any rales of decorum—taking for ex- ample their course towards the present Admin- stration. The same paper treats at length upon the justice and wisdom of our Indian br Intelligencer alludes to and comments disapprovingly upon an idea stated by a New Orleans paper, that a European war would af- ford a good opportunity for the United States to take possession of all territories interfering with our nationality in the Gulf of Mexico. moe WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP Sabi aenets Tag Water Bitt.—The public of Washing- ton are anxiously awaiting efficient action upon the bill now before the Couneils, to regulate the distribation of the Aqueduct water. On no other subject matter that has so far been acted on by the Councils of Washington city, was so great interest ever manifested by their con- stituents. First, because it is by no means im- possible that before being licked into the shape it is finally to bear, it may become a stalking horse for very extensive reprehensible ‘job- bing”’ at the expense of the Washington public; and next, because as being considered in the Council chambers at this time, it is by no means impossible that it may fail entirely of enact- ment. We are satisfied that the tax-payers of the city care little or nothing for its details further than that they shall secure for each consumer a supply of water as large and regu- lar as possible, and at the lowest possible rates of taxation for it; and next, that the Corpora- tion’s portion of the work shall be commenced and completed at the earliest possible moment. The interminable differences in the views of the members of the Boards upon every con- ceivable point in the bill bode much further discussion, consequent delay, and hotch-potch work of it when completed. This is enough to excite the public apprehension here. While we ercdit all the members of the Boards with an earnest desire to secure the best possible law for the public interest, we respectfully suggest that they may be defeating their own purpose by over-doing the work of discussing and amending the bill. — > From Paracvay.—The U.S. steamer Fulton. Lieutenant commanding John J. Almy, arrived yesterday at the navy-yard in this city’from Paraguay, having ieft Montevideo on the 17th of March, and stopped on her way at St. Cath- erines. Pernambuco, and Barbadoes for coal She isten days fromthe latter place. The Fulton sailed from the navy-yard, Washington, on the 22d of September last, proceeding to Norfolk to complete her equipments, and took her departure from there for Paraguay on the 5th of October, was the first steamer of the expedition to reach the river La Platte, and has acted quite x conspicuous part in the late expedition to that country. At Montevideo, the Fulton was assigned to take the U.S. commissioner, Hon. James B. Bowlin. and the commander-in-chi Flag-Otficer Wm. B. Shubrick, up to Assumption, the capital of Paraguay. On the afternoon of Dec. 30, these officers came on board, aud the tia; of the commandet-in-chief was hoisted. The steamer then proceeded on ber mission, stopping at Buenos Ayres, Rosario. Parana, and Corrientes. h of January n or hindrance whatever being offered by the Government of Paragu: In ascending these rivers—especially the was found to be running very strong—2% and 3 miles an hour; and it was necessary to anchor every evening at dark. and get under way the following morning at daylight. “The channels of these rivess frequently change, so that itis requisite for the {lots to be continually moving upand down. ‘The ‘ulton, drawing eleven feet of water, by getting out of the channels. grounded several 1e8, anc upon one occasion lay bard and fast for four days and nights On the 26th of January Commi ted his credentials, and received by resident Lopez. being se-ompanied by Flag Of fieer Shubrick and stalf, and several officers c Fulton in full dress—numbering thirteen pe inall. On the following day negotiations cor menced, and day until Fe ruary 10, when all ifference were detin- itety settled, and a treaty duly siz ident of Paraguay and the U.S On the following day an exchange of salutes of 21 = were fired in honor of the signing of tie reaty und the settiement of diificulties. In the afternoon the couunissioner, the commandcr-in- chief and staif, and a number of olficers from the Fulton and Water Witch, called to pay their re- aspects, and took final leave of President Lopez. By the ner Bowlin The results of the expedition, as stated Fulton's intelligence, are similar to what was re- ceived by the Harriet Lane, in every respect. While negotiations were being conducted, {t was considered as good policy—as not assuming a menacing attitude—to huve the Fulton only at As- sumption ; and the other steamers and sailing ve: sels of the expedition, having on board 2.40 nen and 70 guns. were down the river at Corrientes — just below the territorial limits or President Lo- pez"s republic—ready to come up and act, in case of necessity. Towards the conclusion of negotia- tions. when matters began to assume an entirely friendly aspect, the flag ollicer ordered the Water Witch from Corrientes to Assumption. to join the Fulton. After laying at Assumption eighteen days, we returned down the river Paraguay. As we met otber vessels of the squadron at Corrientes and other places, on their Way up. the flag olficer ur- dered them to turn about and rendezvous at Re sario, where all the steamers filled up with coal. | { and the whole — were directed to proceed to Montevideo. The Fultou reached Montevideo ow the 4th of March, after an absence of sexty-sir days, and the comuuissioner and flag officer then rejoined the United States frigate Sabine. During the 66 days. although the thermometer on many vecasions was ranging from 40 te ww degs., an excellent degree of health was enjoyed bynall on board, and with 165 persons un the Fulton. the sick list ranged from none to eight, and these gen- erally were cases of slight indisposition, or injuries received. In the whole craise of the Fulton. of seven and a half months, there has not been a death from sickness; nor was there a death on board of her during her last year's cruise of ten months in the West Indies. All on board of ber now return in good health. In this cruise of 220 days from here, she has run 16,353 miles, and bee: under steam 124 days. The frigate St. Lawrence & Flay Odicet Forrest, sailed from Montevideo for Boston, on the Lith of March; the storeship Sup- — on the 16th for New York. he following vessels were at Montevideo when the Fulton left, to sail soon for home, viz: Frigate Sabine, F Otticer Shubrick, havéeng on board Judge Bowlin 5 sioops Falmouth and Preble ; jemphis, Atlanta, C: > Star, and M. v.
