Mr. Clay's Compromwine £1il and Speech, Orr telegraphic despatches, general and special, wv interesting news from Washington. Mr. Gay made his speech upon the report of the Com- mittee of ‘Thirteen, and urged its adoption by all the arguments which could be brought to bear in ite favor. In the course of his speech, it will be seen, he made some very valuable remarks, as well as drove a nabl into Seward’s ear, that pinned the New York ultra to the Garrison platform of irre- Kigion and blasphemy. ‘This is what we had reason to expect would be the course of Mr. Clay, when the opportunity occurred for rebuking the senseless aad fanatical Senator. Our special telegraphic correspondent’s commna- nigation contains a whole history in a very few words. It would be quite a good movement for the eabinet to use some of their claim perquisites in supporting a newspaper, end they could do a great deal to enlighten the public, through an official ergan, specially devoted to explaining their strange eenduet, as it comes out day after day. We shall want another copy of the Republic when the trans- fer hasbeen made. Don’t forget that. Bmeportant Southern Movement at Wash- ington. A majority of the leading members of the South- ern States, in Congress, have recently held several important meetings for the purpose of organizing a mew journal, to be published in that capital, to sappert, defend and represent the Southern inte- rests and principles, in their most undoubted and re- Mable form. The result of such meetings has been the issuing of an address, or promunciamento, migned by sixty-three members of Congress. The address will be found in our columns to-day. Among the signers of this address, we find fourteen whigs—some of them very leading men—and forty- mine democrats, as designuted by old party dis Snetions, making in all sixty-three members from the Southern States. The Southern members who have not yet signed the promunciamento, number twenty-six whige and twenty-nine democrats, making in all fifty-five representatives; bat it is probable that, in the course of a few days, the ma- jority of those who have not yet sigaed the ad- drese, may unite in the general movement of the South. Already, at their first step, they count a ma- jerity of the whole Southern representatives. This pronunciamento discloses a very important mevement, based on such principles and purposes ae will create some sensation in the South, as well as in the Northern States. It is written with great e@almness, but with equal determination. It an- mounces 4 resolute aud unchangeable determina- Sion in those who have organized the movement, te encounter all hazards and all issues, in the pro- teetion of their local interests, their peculiar insti- tutions and their family firesides, against all uncon- stitutional, illegal and revolutionary interference eoming from other States and other sections. The moderation, candor and determination, eharac- Serizing their document, will command even the attention and respect of the fanatics of the North— those who have been at the foundation of all the Gfficulties with which this country is now aillict- ed, and who have originated all the dangers which | menace the social institutions and special interests ef the Southern States The first step in the furtherance of this move- ment, as consulted and advised in the addrees, is Ge establishment of a central newspaper at Wash- imgten. But, looking at the origin—the men who guide—the purposes diselosed—and the crisis into which the country has been precipitated, thie movement ie far more important, and eprings from a deeper purpose, than a mere newspuper enterprise, er @ printer's speculation. It is the commence- ment of a movement in reference to the interests and Fights of the Southern States, similar to that which @haracterized the firet step that led to the revo- Ration of 1776, and the final ation of the old thirteen colonies from the galling tyranny of Great Britain.

Many of those who have not signed the address, will undoubtedly join the @ause, as the excitement pertance requires them. The columme of the new joarnal will undoubtedly teem with correct and Teliable developements on the instit * of the South—the interests of the South—the progress of that section of the Union—and their determination to support their rights and privileges to the utmost extent. The old party ti broken in pieces, « increases and it sin the South are nearly nt will help to i this move: finish that portion of the business, in its fullest ex- | tent. What practical « t this important Southern movement may have on the ment of the per. plexing questions of the day, time alone can tell We fear the future Tue Caninet a Pixrent.—On second, no, on third, thoughts, we think the most advisable course i to keepthe cabinet. They are an infinite source of amusement, and supply any quantity of curious investigations. We do not know what the Wash- ington letter-writers would do without them. Everything would be “ stale, flat, and unprofita- ble,” should they suddenly be deprived of themes | pon whieh to discburse so facetiously and elo qmently. I ie very charitable, therefore, for the all the old tics of | enbinet te stick together, for this simple reason. ‘The lettex-writers are an industrious, active elase of laborers in the political vineyard, picking up the sweet and sour grapes, by day and night, and squeezing them into wine, of various flavors, to suit the appetites of the public. It would be a pity for the cabiuet to deprive them of the means of gaining a livelihood, by stimulating and intoxieat- ing the public mind, and the eabinet should, on their account alone, hold together. The letter- writers have been mueh neglected hitherto ; and as the cabinet can do nothing better, we hope that they will continue to give employment tothe whole body of newspaper correspondents, instead of patronizing merely one or two. By all means stick together, Don’t go out. Hang on to the old General. Tue Revotvrionary Exreprrion ‘to Copa.—-The announcement made by the Sun, with respect to the designs on Cuba, has been classed by us as one of its peculiar attempts at a hoax, for we did not sup pose that any such rash and premature step would be taken at this tim Movemeuts, however, in another quarter, give an entirely different com- plexion to the whole affair, particularly as, for the last six months, there have been plots and counter- cing en, of a very eurious character. The eonlidential organ of the cabinet, the Courter and Enquirer, gives us some new light. It takes great pains to illustrate the position of affairs, and takes precisely the course that might be expected from its connection with Mr. Clayton and his cabinet. Our memory is refreshed by this movement on the part of the Wall street journal. We remember that Mr. Clayton, in the early part of his cabinet career, anpouneed how favorably he looked upon the annexation of Cuba, This came out at the time of the Brega correspondence ; and though, at a subsequent period, public opinion eaused the ad- ministration to suppress the hostile preparations at Round Island, yet the manner in which the same designs have been permitted to work to a head, and beyond the possibility of suppression, shows that the cabinet have countenanced the movements of Gen. Lopez and others. This they have done, doubtless— for more reasens than one ; and they have exhibited considerable adroitness in the business. A revo- lution in Cuba, favored and sustained by the cabi- net, would draw off the pablic attention from the investigations which are going on at Washington, and smother a great many things, otherwise very important. It is quite remarkable, how well they have imagined to see nothing and to hear nothing, since the termination of the Kouad Island afluir. Some five thousand men, it appears, have , been armed and taken out of the country, in vessels sailing from various ports, and Mr. Clayton has heard nothing about it. ‘ Mr. French and a party ef one hundred and twelve” sail im the Georgia, and no government officer knows anything about it. Other parties take their leaves, with rifles, and ammunition, and all the munimente of war, and no one knows anything about it, though they go, from squads of fifty, to regiments. That the cabinet should not know this, when for six months these preparations have been talked about everywhere, and particularly at Washington, where the expe- dition has received extraordinary encouragement, must convince the public of one of two things— either that the cabinet are blind and deaf and dumb, or that they have been cognizant of the whole scheme. We incline to the latter way of thinking, and; moreover, fully believe that it has been the forlorn hope of Mr. Clayton and his associates, to conceal their other curious movements, by helping on those of the invaders of Cuba. Never mind; en investigation will bring the whole thing to light, one’of these days. We shall know how the policy of annexation has been held onto by Mr. Clayton, and how much benefit the cabinet have expected to gain by keeping the pub- lic in the dark, and by aiding General Lopez. The secret history will all come out in due time. Pre- mature as is this movement against Cuba—should it result in anything more than acomplete defeat— the country may expect Mr. Clayton and hia asso- ciates to explai. Spain will not look on the busi- indifference. She will call on England to aid her and defend her. Louis Napoleon, who is curting favorable glances towards one of the proud daughters of Spain, will want to be chivalrous; and it is not unlikely that we may have to thank Mr. Clayton fora declaration of war, the end of which it is impossible to conjecture. The result of the expedition will prepare ua for extraordinary developements, Meanwhile, we await the news | from Cuba. Taanaxy Society mm re Firio.—The old so ciety of Tammany Sachema, so long the organ of the popular party in this metropolis, and always ia favor of the,Union and the rights of the States, on the platform of the constitution, have at length been roused to the importance of the preeent dan- gerous crisis in our national affaire, and are deter- mined to express their views on the events of re- cent origin. In order to blend the utile with the dulee, they have issued invitations for a splendid dinner at Tammany Hall, to-night.

Burwer’s Dirvomacy—His Lerran ro Guat rixLp.—Sir Henry Bulwer’s letter to Mr. Chatfield | | | into the ame cat has created mueh more diseussien and remark than we anticipated would be likely to result from its publication. It certainly is a eurious document, and quite in the busy diplomatist’s style, and hae some points of great interest. These, of course, are received and commented upon in various ways, to suit the dispositions of eur cotemporaries. Some come smug out, and declare it to be a forgery, some that it has been interpolated, and others that it is a private letter, and has been stolen, and that the receiver of stolen goods should suffer with the thief. We do not know how this latter view of the case may be taken ; byt we are perfeetly well satisfied that there has been no selfish eppropria- tion on our part—Mr. Bulwer, Mr. Chatfield, the whole country, and all the world, having enjoyed and fed upon the documept, as much as we have. ‘The pains taken so screen and defend Mr. Bal- wer, we fear, will be lost by those who have taken euch sagacious methods of defending him. They scarcely meet the case, or its demands, and will fail, we think, to support his busy and med- dling style of diplomacy, which breaks out in all kinds of letters, and on every possible theme—now on coal and iron, now on the navigation of rivers, now on reciprecity here and there, and on a variety of subjects, evidently exhibiting the same diploma- tic fuss that got him into hot water at Madrid. This is a good beginning, certainly ; but all this ofliciousness, all these letters, all his movements, exhibit that he has but one great purpose in view— to wheedle our government out of a treaty with England, with respect to Central America, so as to tie our bands, as they have never been tied before. If the treaty can be effected, that will be glory and victory enough, as it contains principles of doubtful constitutionality. The letter to Chatfield is, therefore, important. It shows that Mr. Bulwer was not to yield the Mosquito question, without obtaining something more important and substantia! in return. We are in favor of the canal, have great hopes of Nicara- gua, and mean to do what we can to keep up an amicable intercourse with that republic; but we do not see why a treaty should be made with Great Britain on a mere private enterprise. We may as well talk of treaties in other parts ef the globe, where mining companies are established, and other speculations of our Yankee race are carried for- ward. This is the light in which the treaty will be. viewed at Washington ; and when it comes up there, for ratification by the Senate, we think it will be discussed with these views. Meanwhile, let every attention be given to the Chatfield letter; and, in order to have no mistakes, let us go intp its history, particularly as it is to have a prominent situation in this diplomatic drama. We reproduce it, annexed, verbatim et literatim, as we before gave it, without knowing if Mr. Chat- field has been offended with Mr. Bulwer’s inter- ference or not. We do not know anything on that point. If he didnot relish the letter, and sent it adrift, that is his affair and Mr. Bulwer’s, not ours. All we have to say, is that there was an insurreo- tion at Costa Rica, and that the Bulwer letter was enclosed to us ata particular place, with the note hereto appended; that it appearsto have gone to Havana, to receive the letter mark there of the 2d of April, thento have been received at Charleston, on the 29th, and duly sent to us by the agent of the Postmaster General, Jacob Collamer. Here is the note:— ‘The enclosed letter, in the hand writing of A. L. Bulwer, to Mr. Chat: |, Br. Consul at Guatemala, ‘was taken by the facciosos in Central America, on ite way to Costa Rica, and by them handed to the 2 who now sends it to Mr. James Gordon Bennett, not doubting that the latter gentloman will find it # docu- ment worthy of perusal.” This is the history of the affuir, and the sequel will come out in due time, with necessary illustra- | tions and annotations. In the interim, that the precious cabinet, that the members of Congress, and all the carans in diplomatic literature and au- tographs, may fully enjoy the letter, in all ite origi- nal integrity, we will send lithographic fac-similes into the world, and transmit the original to an emi- nent Senator in Congrees, that Mr. Bulwer may have the “benefit of any reasonable doubt” in the matter. Till then, we reproduce the copy:— Mh MENRY BULWER_TO MR, CHATFIELD. ' Wa ‘atom. Feb 26.1850. | Dear Bir— I have received your ecommanications up to the 2d of January inclusive.

Every sovereign pontiff of the 250 thet filled the Papal chair, has been a good man, or, at least, ought to have been, notwithstand- ing the many strange things related in “Ranke’s History of the Popes.” It'is fitting that Bishop Hughes should make jubilations for the restora- tion of the last of so long a line of sovereigns to his royal sceptre and throne, which the hard-fisted democracy of Rome had overturned, ‘in these days of republican progress and growing ideas.” It is very proper that his“ lordship,” whose organ backed the imperial despotism of Austria, and even the autocrat of Russia, who whipped the nuns —backed them egainst Kossuth and the brave Hungarians struggling for republican liberty— should sing and shout for joy that the vicegerent of the Prince of Peace, who said his kingdom was not of this world, and whose crown was composed of thorns, should wade through rivers of blood to his throne, treading, in his triumphal march to the Vatican, over the dead bodies of his beloved, though rebellious, children, who stood in his way while living, and were therefore cut down by the sabres of “ generous” France. We have said, of France. We should have said, of Louis Napoleon, who has prostrated the trees of liberty planted by the heroes of the French revolution, who is now a monarch in all but the name, and waits, em couchant, for the opportune moment to grasp an imperial sceptre. And here we may observe that the Bishop, by some strange oblivion, has overlooked the French emperor in embryo. It was hardly grateful, upon the solemn occasion of celebrating the Pope's re- turn, to make no mention of the instrumentality by which he was restored. It is the more unaccount- able, as we learn by the intelligence from Rome, that the Pope himself has publicly ex- pressed his gratitude to the French nation, which had expended its treasure and its blood to re-establish his authority, and he begged the Com- mander-in-chief of the French army, that when he saw Louis Napoleon, he would convey to him the expression of his gratitude. We are further informed, that he not only re- ecived the officers, but that he was to give the French army itself his benediction, in the Square of St. Peter, and a platform was being erected for the purpose. Pio Neno attributes his restora- tion to cannon, muskets, and bayonets—Bishop Hughes, to the prayers and tears of the faithful. His “ lordship” informs us that three-fourths of the people are in favor of the restoration. Then where was the necessity for the French army to batter down, with bomb-shells, the venerable monuments of antiquity, to force open a way for him into the aflections of the people ? It is curious enough, too, that though that entrance has been so long effected, his Holiness has only now ventured within the walle. It is equally curious, to mark the dis- tinctions made by the people in receiving him, even under the compulsion of French bayonets. The acclamations, we are told, of “ Vivw Pio Nono”—long live Pius the Ninth—were few and far between, while those for “ Viva il Papa,” and ‘iva il Santo Padre,”—long live the pope, and long live the holy father—everywhere prevailed. This would seem, somehow or other, to indicate that the people were glad to see the spiritual head of the church, while they had but very litte relish for him as a temporal prince. Bishop Hughes, indeed, tells us in eo many words that *‘ the Church has triumphed, not only over kings, but over democracy, and the people themselvee, and will triumph again over them, whenever they imagine vain things.” This sentiment might do very wellforthe atmos- phere of Austria or Russia; but for the free air of this republican country, it is going it rather strong. We question whether this fling at democracy will go down, even with his own congregation. He tried hie hand before in a tilt againat democracy, at Carroll Hall. How far he succeeded, he kaows himeelf. But the Bishop further informs us that if the Pope were nota temporal sovereign he could not speak the truth. St. Peter, the first Pope, or Paul, and the rest of the apostles, were no temporal so- vereigns, and yet they freely spoke the truth. If his Holiness had come to the United States, where we long sinee invited him, to eet up his papal chair, he might speak the truth more freely than at Rome itself. We never heard that Dr. Iughes, who is | not as yet atemporal sovereign, was in any way interfered with by the city fathers, by the State | ' government, or by Congress, in speaking the truth. proved of it Neither do 1 think that this govern: rerent mow he vier for, It is, b suspected by the pop 4 ing in fuvor of any policy that is unpopular, Thus, though ite intentions may be trusted. ite course ean- pot be relied upon, Attempts are bein tle the Morquito Dusiness. 1 think the; t to doso.

But the proposition to ask the Pope to come among republicans was violently opposed by the Bishop's organ, which deprecated the very idea of his feet touching the profane soil of Ameri- ea, or his coming in contact with the rudences of democrecy. It is shrewdly suepected that the true reason of thie cpporition is, that his lordship intends, some fine day, to set op for himself in the new world, leaving the old to the care of Pius the Ninth.

Withina few days, however, of her death, Mrs. Osgood was in- formed by one of her friends of the fear that was en- tertained that she could not live much longer; and on being asked if she was prepared to leave the world, she pleasantly replied that she was perfectty resigned to the alternative. and could enter upon her eternal existence with composure. Thus, it seems} that the happy disposition that had carried her through life, did not desert her in view of the portal to another ex- istence. To those who were acquainted with Mra. Osgood, and the peculiar characteristies of her mind, it will not appenr singular that she turned from the fading and dim carth with a bright faith in s happy future, Resignation was a part of her character, and in all the scenes of her life, she met the disappointments of Life, as she did its reward, with a smile and a hope. Mrs. Osgood was the daughter of a Mr. Locke, of Boston, extensively Known as a mere! educated as a young lady of & prospero : at an early age wrote metrical’ compositions with fe- cility. She contributed many pieces of verse to the newspapers and periodicals at the commencement of her career, and was among the first who illustrated the pictures of the Athensoum Gallery, a business in which many of the yertifers of Boston’ engaged in 1852 and fubsequent years, including such names as Holmes, the Sargents, W Uill, and others. Two or three years later—our memory does not give us the precise date—Mr. 8. 8. Osgood was a candidate for honors as a trait painter, and his first meeting with the youn lady. Miss Frances Locke, was at the gallery in Pear street. They were introduced to exch other; and the Porters, like another Beatrice, remarked to the painter hat she was not fond of paintings in nature was worth all of them, This was ish piece of badinage, upon which the enthusiastic young artist, like Benedick, retorted that he detested poetry, for the self-name reason. ‘Thus commenced an acquaintance, which eventually resulted in marriage, the artist hay- ing invited the poctess to sit to him for her portrait, which means he became successful. Soon after, 0 and her husband, about 18%6, visited Eu- dit was while on the voyage that she penned sprightly verse, which has made its way rid :— it over the * Two things break the monotony Of an Atlantic trip; Sometimes, alack ! we ship aon, Sometimes we see a ship. This careless specimen of her merry style isa key to the more polished efforts of her muse. ‘She has none of that martial ardor which breaks out in the verse of Mrs. Hemans, in which every sound in nature is com- pared to the music of war, tothe clarion, or the trum- pet. She has none of that genius which delights in the pageantry of artificial life. Neither is she like Mre Sigourney: njthe pious. calm andilofty tone of her thougths and illustrations, or like Mai Occidente, « limner of internal, mystic passions. Her genius re- sembles more that of Miss Landon, with none of that morbid feeling which the bitterness of life had engen- dered in that unfortunate poeters, With more nature than Miss Hannah F. Gould, she is like her in many re- specta. Her style is playful, «pontancous, and proceeds usually more from the imagination than the heart. Still there are pieces in which pathos and sentiment rule.and in which beautiful thoughts are struck out with great beauty and originality. We have scores of versifiers who unite and reproduce the verses of others. making very passable patchwork, which passes for the true poetical tabric; but Mre. Osgood does not belong to these. She gives yen her own mind, freely, without restraint, and captivates with the gaiety of her mood, and the easy avd melodious flow of her language, Ne very elaborate poem has proceeded from her pen, but she has quite come up to the poetic taste of the age, which cannot or will not grasp anything it cannot read asit ruas, Her whole talent is displayed in trifles, as with nearly all our modern American poets; but w! ahe hg. done is highly creditable to her genius.

The active inquiry fer there stocks is caleulated to givean im- petus to speculation in those of a doubtful character, and it is possible quite a bubble will be inflated. The abundance of money will, without doubt, favor this movement for a time, and parties will doubtless be ia- duced to invest in all kinds of stocks,at high prices, dur- ing the height of the excitement, many of whom will un- doubtedly be forced to sell,at some future time,at heavy losses. It should be borne in mind that at the height of an expansion in publie and private credits, in the currency, in prices, and s speculative feeling in the market, is no time to purchase stoeks; but, on the contrary, just the time to sell. That was the maxim of the Rothechilds, and it is just as sound now as it ever was. Tho expansion in the currency must go on, unt it is arrested by @ general explosion If it stops, there. must be a collapse in prices, and therefore there is no alternative but to go ahead. When it commeneed, it was manageable; but as it progremed it gathere® strength, and, like a rock rolling down hill, has got en impetus which nothing oan arrest, and must have its way.
