Wasurnaton, Feb. 26—2 o’clock, A. M. _An extraordinary Cabinet meeting was called last night about 8 o’clock, in @ most private manner, which broke up but a short time since, The late- call was made, will prevent me from entering more | portant business which brought them together in so sudden amanner. I will, however, say it is thought that the British Minister made his ultimatum to” day; and although its nature has not yet been fully | | developed, enough is known to cause sober think- | | ing people to reflect seriously upon the present state | of our foreign relations. Of one thing you may | rest assured, which is, that England is not going to | surrender one foot of territory north of the Colum- | biarwver, without a struggle. She “ will not be bul- | lied much longer by the United States.” Such is | the language of her Minister to private persons here. I have the most indubitable authority for saying this, notwithstanding the peaceable appear- | ance of the late news from England. The Secreta- | | ty of State has been, late and early, for the last three | | days, writing despatches to all our Ministers and | Consuls abroad, which shows that there is trouble in the camp. In addition tothe foregoing, a Southern Senator | had it in contemplation, in secret session, to take the whole of our foreiga affairs out of the hands of the committee in charge of them in the Senate, but which was postponed for the present, lest the act might prove injurious to the public interests. In | this movement, all the whiga of that body were willing to co-operate, but through the earnest oppo- sition of two or three democratic Senators, the | of life, action, or effect. } the plea of the youthful Helicon—he is old enough | to appreciate his mediocrity. The positions of Mr. D. were all well enough ; his exposition of the title—his advocacy of the notice— | his animadversions of the chicapery of Great Bri- tain in her relations with us—iis recommendauons | of maintaining our rights at all hazards, and of only settling the difficulty _by negotiations without in- Py iy a oF Stingecoent of ie national Ley erg ae ston ness o| ar, and the seerecy with which the | Points for an effective argument, for some originall- | ' ty of thought, and research, and recital, and deduc- fully, at this time, into aud opicelation:en'talttie'tit | Deki But in all these essentials the speech of Mr. | gtate of chigan, along th ickinson was as barren as his manner was devoid H 118 OWR merits ; and yet, the necessity of dispelling his ignorance upon this point is the per amount inducement to our present strictures. We do solemaly believe that he has a high estimate—a very high estimate, of his intellectual calibre, and that this destructive idea has prevented him [rom that indygrious research, and study, and applica- tion to IfBtory, to politics, to governmental science, 0 essential to the perfection of a great statesman.— ‘The great secret,most unappreciated by Mr. Dickin- son is, that when one has but little to say, he should say but little, and be done with it. ) As soon as Mr. Dickinson had concluded his well meant and charitably received discourse, Mr. Day- ton moved the postponement of the question, tor two weeks from Monday next. Mr. Allen resisted the motion, because it would argue of fear and juailing. Gen. Cass seconded the Senator from hio. Mr. Calhoun wanted the amendment voted upon, and disposed of, and the question put in some questionable shape, before he, at least, should speak to it. Mr. Calhoun desired Mr. Colquitt’s amend- ment to be read, so did Mr. Crittenden. E The amendment of Mr. Colquitt, was according- ly read for information. Itrecommends briefly the settlement of the Oregon controversy by negotiation, and gives the President discretionary power to with- hold the notice, even after the adjournment of the present session. On motion of Mr. Allen, the Senate went into ex- ecutive session, alter voting down a motion by Mr. Mangum to adjourn. In the House, the harbor bill has been under the | measure was defeated for the present. Allthis goes ta prove my previous statements of the unfortunate | condition in which Mr. Polk is placed, owing, as1 | | have said before, to his want of confidence in his*| | legitimate advisers—the Senators of his own party. | It will be remembered that about four months | ago, I informed you that Mr. Walker and the Bri- | tish Minister were making arrangements for a re- | duction of the impost duties by their respective go- | vernments, at the Treasury Deparynent. Well, the | last news brought us the confirmation of this, in Hl before it was officially submitted to Congress. There would have been nothing very extraordinary in this, had not the friends of the tariff endeavored to throw obloquy upon the Secretary of the Treasury, for having given the British Minister this informa- tion in advance of Congress. There certainly was no great harm in this, as both governments seemed desirous of abolishing the restrictive system on im- | | Ports altogether, except so far as that which might | be necessary to defray the expenses of the two go- | vernments respectively. The way this report got | | out, was simply as follows: Mr. Pakenham being | in Mr. Walker’s office on the day announced by me, saw his report and projét lying on his table. Being deeply interested in its contents, he asked the Secretary for a copy of it, which was given him, ; and which he immediately transmitted to his go- | vernment. So much, then, for this affair, about | which there is so much fuss made. It is the opinion of the most intelligent here, thay should a reduction of the tariff.take place, it will not benefit American breadstufts in the least, as the ports in the Baltic are able to supply kngland less than we could do it for. This is proved by the fact that whilst we pay but four shillings duty upon flour entering Canada for transhipment to England, the flour from the Baltic pays fifteen shillings, ands able tomeet us in the market at that. ARIEL.

Saunders, of North Carolina, was confirmed to-day by the Senate, as Minister to | Spain, in place of Washington Irving, who has re- quested to be allowed to return home. An interesting case has been going on in the Su- preme Court for some days, relating toa planing machine, in which the Mr. Phelps of the Senate, is engaged. He is considered, by both the court and | bar, to bea lawyer of superlative talents, and on thie occasion has far surpassed-all his other forensic | by the Southern Senators,on account of his supposed abolition principles. This was one side of the story. it is only fair, in all such cases,to give the | other, which I now do, not being interesjed one way | or another in the matter. His frends say that Mr. Wright has ever been an onen and decided op- ponent of the abolitionists in Massachusetts—was the first editor in Massachusetts to advocate the an- | nexation of Texas, under Mr. Tyler’s treaty ; and | fpr Polk, Dallas, Texas and Oregon, throughout the Bay State. Ihear that he was the author of the | must and graphic account of the famous Anti- | ‘exas Convention at Faaeuil Hall, which appeared | one who read that account, would accuse him of abolition sentimen:s. In ’44 he runas the demo- | | eratic candidate for Congress, against J.Q Adams, | | and got the same vote as Mr. Polk—no abolitionist | voting for him. Ann. Wasurnaton, Feb. 25, 1816.

The Anniversary—WWashington’s Birth-Day Assem- bly—Some Particulars of that Splendid Affair— Dreadful Fracas at Richmond, Va.—Turning Point of the Oregon Controversy in the Senate. given at Carusi’s Saloon on Monday evening last ; deprived us of this great anticipated pleasurable description. We will take occasion to say, how- ever, that it was a most recherché affair—that New York, and the State of New York, were well repre- sented, in ladies and in gentlemen, in numbers, in elegance, beauty and grace, and in talents, dignity and station. The saloon was full of bright eyes. The President was there, the private secretary of the President, and Mrs. J. K. Walker, were there. | Most of the corps diplomatic ,in their court cos- tumes,were there—officers of the army and navy in uniferm,were there—judges of the Supreme Court, members of the cabinet, members of Congress, edi- tora, reporters, strangers and citizens, were there— during the evening. The President led the way down to the elegant supper—partook of it—laughed and chatted with the ladies, cracked jokes and ate heartily, and enjoyed himself very much. The whole arragements were creditable to the good taste of Mr. Miller—the supper was particularly po- with all she wants, at eleven shillings per quarter qgpular ; but we must say that we did get hold of 01 ex ttle ot are nae ni hich could not or would not lode. As Mr. Miller, however, is always con- siderate to the ‘press Pe, we wish that he may always be encouraged in his public ‘‘ swarries” lars of this fine ball, and i’faith, with your permis- sion,we will to some extent. And we will give th names of some of the patrons and participants of the festive scene.

Mr. D r -adverted to the charges which he had brought for against Mr. Webster, in connection with ir, while Mr. W. was Secretary of State under Cap- tain Ty Mr. Dickinson, with evident labor and cau- tiousness, feeling his way like a bliod man, groped along in his statement of at least one of the accusations introduced into the H.

Mr. Clayton nodded bis head, and the whole whig side of the Senate expressed their approbation of er jueid exposition of the commercial treaty in @ mo- laugh, the cacchination spreading even to the gal- jeri {r. D. protested that he should not now discuss is commercial treaty. It would be time penn, ond at when the subject should come up.
