OUR SPECIAL DESPATCH. Wasnincron, May 22,1850. Mr. Clay’s compromise appears in a more favorable light to-day. Mr. Clay’s attack on the administration is considered a good movement, It is supposed that it will get some democrats for the compromise, as @ ' means of breaking up the administration, The speech of Mr. Downs was very gratifying to Mr, Clay and the friends of the compromise, Mr. Jobn Bell, it is said, will support the cabinet plan, while Mesars, Webster and Cooper, in the end, it is said, are pledged to the compromise. However, the chances are still against it, A mass of Ualifornia correspondence was laid before the Senate—some of it of a confidential character— which we were not permitted to examine; but we un- derstand Gen. Riley surrendered the government o California to the State authorities, under instructions from Washington. There is goat anxiety for news from Cuba, It is be- lieved that there is & revolutionary force of 15.000 men, It is said that, for some months, Yucatan, only eighty miles from Guba, has been the rendezvous, Men who ought to know, think there is some chance of success, and that the Sierra Madre will come next in order. The Nicaragua treaty has been confirmed by a large majority. Mr. Soule will reply, to-morrow, to the speech of Mr. Downs, John L, Cary, Inte editor ofthe Baltimore “American,” pcome associate editor of the Republic. THIRTY-FIRST CONGRESS, FLRST SESSION.
