CLAYTON'S SPEECH ON CENTRAL AMERICAN AFFAIRS—MEXICO AND THE GARAY GRANT—APPOINTMENTS—ASSISTANT POSTMASTERS GENERAL AND SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY, ETC. Wasuinctox, March 810 P. M. No communications were received from the President by the Senate to-day. The only businoss transacted in executive session consisted in the reference to the Post Office Committee of a treaty with France, sent to the Senate by Mr. Fillmore, and understood to relate to postal arrangements with that country. Mr. Clayton’s speech upon Central American affairs dis- plays an intimate knowledge of the subject, and will pro- bably end the Senate’s action on that particular topic, although Messrs. Mason and Douglas are both going to reply. The Tehuantepec question will be taken up immo- diately. The Sloo grant is not regarded at all excopt in the light of a Mexican dodge to get rid of the subject. Not only is it yet incomplete—the Mexican Congress hay- ing toact upon it—but its provisions show that itis carefully framod with a view of placing the whole transit in the control of the Mexican government, which is a very different position from that of the Garay grant. It {s understood that the President is strongly impressed with the importance of securing the advantages of the Garay grant, as also the justico of the claims. This opi- nion Is plainly shadowed forth in one of the paragraphs of the inaugural, and has not weakened the question in the Senate. The President and cabine: have been engaged all day in receiving visita at their respective offices. Peter G, Washington, who was Sixth Auditor undor President Polk, has been appointed Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, vies Wm. M. Hodge, resigned. Mr. Hodge has been boasting that he intended handing in his resig- nation the moment a Secretary was appointed, but that she knew he would be asked to hold over. But the wheels of government go on, and Py Mr. Hodge’s resignation was at onee acce] |. Mr. er soocneaeae gives great dissal to the sy here. It ap- pears he was refused to be admitted asa member of either of the demoeratic clubs here, during the canvass, on the ground that he was not a good democrat. Hon. Selah R. Hobbie, so favorably known from his former connection with the Post Office Department, re- sumes his position as Kirst Assistant Postmaster General to-morrow, vice Mr. Jacobs removed. It is understood that Me. - mead bes —the- contrsct office, It supposed that Mr. Dandas, for .. Fecently appointed Second General, will resume hit old posi- tion. Mr. Hobbie’s appointment does not require the concurrence of the Senate under the present law, but will after the 30th of next June. It is eaid that Mr. James Bowlin, of St. a member of 3, will to-morrow Commissioner of Indian Affairs. The two Illinois pay ee are Hon.

The thousands of applicants are all pre: their merits. The hard shells claim some- thing, now that the softs, they say, have obtained the State Department. But advices have been received that a deputation of softs will arrive here to-morrow to con- test the matter. A cabinet meeting of some duration was held to-day. Itis evident the President intends to make quick work of the appointments aud removals. The clerks in the departme ¢ to-morrow to be formally introduced to the beads. ‘The leading Southern Union democrats here consider Colonel Davis’ aceeptance of » position in the eabinct as an acknowledgment by him of the justice of the position taken by the Prosident upon the compromise acts. and, undergthe circumstances, regard it as a triumph.

The appointments made to-day show that the work of rotation in office is begun. We understand that it is the determination of Gen. Pierce to dispose of the principal appointments as fast a4 possible, the sooner to bo re- lieved of offiee-seckers, and the sooner to end the labors of the Senate. Mr. Clayton will be followed on Central America by Mr. Mason, chairman of the Committee oa Foreign Relations, Mr. Douglas, and perhaps others, Gen. Casa has gone home: ‘The members of the old and new Congross appear to have monopolized the dispensation of patronage. This monopoly, we are glad to learn, does not meet the ap- »roval of Gen, Pierce, and it may be illustrated before . ‘A very large crowd of officials, in fall dress, and private cits ne of both sexes, attended the public recoption of The prompt action upon appointments has set ofico- rockers into ® perfect uproar.

FROM A REGULAR CORRESPONDENT, Wastuncté, March 8, 1863. ‘The superior officers of the army at present in Wash- ington waited upon the Secretary of War, in full uniform, this morning, according to usage. Mr, Davis received them politely, and accompanied them to the executive mansion, where he presented them to the President. The officers of the navy, in full dreas, also called upon Secretary Dobbin, who accompanied them to the White Hones: Lope oe Saige le tp! no mnt.

The mombers of the cabinet express admiration of the untirl as- siduity and devotion to the duties of his office exhibited by Mr. ore, and acknowledge the personal courtesy with which they were ever trested, and the harmony that ever prevailed. Mr. Fillmore gratefully ac- knowledges the septs pala him, disclaims deserving it, and says the success of hiv administration was chief: owing to the wisdom, harmony and fidelity, of his coun- cillors. ‘No President,” he says, “was ever more fortu- uate in the choice of cabinet, no cause for dissension, nor even harsh words, having ever occurred.” ‘The oath of office ha been administered to the mem- bers of the new cabinet, they took charge of their 1 departments at eleven o’clock this morning. pl e Lape) Senators caucussedgan hour this morn- ig. ey agreed upon an arrangement, temporarily fill ing the vacancies in the stan tommittess, vith pare to thorough reorganization of the committees at the commencement of the next session of Congress.

SPERCH OF EX-SECRETARY CLAYTON RELATIVE TO CENTRAL AMERI- CAN AFYAIRS, Mr.CLaytTox commenced a speech in vindication of him- self, and in reply ‘o the debate on the Clayton and Bul- wer treaty. He said, that in rising to address the Senate, after his long absence, he felt much embarrassed. He first entered the Senate twenty-four years ago, and among those now present there was not a face which wasthere then. Of all those who were then present, and who had given such character to the Senate, not one remained in the chamber. The last of them was the pre- sent Vice President, He alluded in high terms to Mr. King, for his honor, integrity, and ability. He felt embarrassed further, because he was obliged to defend himself from charges mado against him in the Senate, on the 6th of January last—charges against his conduct in the performance of his public duties. This was the first time in his life that he had beon called upon to vindieate his character from such gross accusations. He intended to discuss the treaty which he had negotiated with Sir Henry Bulwer, and in so doing he would speak of others with all the respect possible, consistent with his duty to himself, While a member ‘of the Senato heretofore, he never made an assault upon any one in debate, and never, was engaged in s personal controversy in the Senate, unless provoked into it by the other side. For everything he bad raid, or should say, in debate, he held himself responsible here and everywhere else, as a entleman and a men of honor. He did not profess to be- long to that school of puppies who show their courage by their silence when hung up by the ears. Ho regretted. 1e absence of the Senator from Michigan—much that he would have had to say of him would be omitted, because of that Senator'sabsence. There wore many things he would say to that Senator which he would not now say, Because he did not approve of the course of attacking ab: sent men, or those who are not in a position to reply at once to what was said, and defend themselves immediate- ly. He would, huwever, defend his own course; and in deter ding assaults upon himeel, ho was apt to eaury the war into Africa. He then referred to Mr. Cass’s speeches in Janvary last, and complained o: their gross injustice, and to the authorized statement of Mr, King, through Mr. Bragg of the House, which Mr. Cass had never takon any notice of. He knew nothing in his relations with Mr. Cass which would have led him to expect such treatment at lis bands. That Senator hed once obliged a friond of his, and be thought he had returned the obligation by obliging a friend of that Senator's. While the treaty was under consideration, he had held several coosulla- tions with Mr. King, and they both agreed that in the treaty there was to be no recognition of any right of Great Britain to the domais In Honduras thoy both be- lieving that Great Britain had no other right there than the right of occupaney for certain purposes, under the treaty with Spain. ite then contended that thia, and nothing else, was recognized by the treaty. He denied that the explenations of tho treaty by himeelf and Sir Henry Bulwer were untuown to General Taylor's cabinet at the time of thelr exchange, as had been insinuated in the debate In the Senate, Ile then entered into a histor!- cal and geographical examination of the territorial and litical boundaries of Central America, and into an cla porate exarsinatioa of this point, as commented on by the Committee on Voreign Relations. Mr. C. had just con- chided on this part of the question, when he yieleled the floor to Mr. Surru, on whose motion the Senate went into an executive session, after which they adjourned.

APECIAL CORRESPOMDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Ataany, Mareh 8, 1853. The lobby of the Senate was filled with office expectants from various parts of the State, this forenoon, and the, city was well represented. This crowd came on in anti- cipation of an executive session. When the hour of 12 had arrived, the President of the Senate announced ex- coutive business, whereupon Mr. Cooley moved to resume the ordinary business. His vote, together with the whigs, carried the motion, and no session to confirm the Governor's appointments was held. The disappointed gentlemen re grumbling, but were determined to be on hand again next Tuesday. The water quarrel between Williamsburg and. Brooklyn brought a lacge number from those cities, who expected that the Water bill would come up in the Assembly; but the debate upon the State Tax Dill occupied the House, without any reference to that matter. The strife between thore cities is becoming quite interesting. The canal a is now under full discussion—one in to tax the whole people, aud the other to tax only nk railroad companies, and still another to restore tolls on railroads, neither of which will be successful. NEW YORK LEGISLATURE, Senate. Aunasy, March 8, 1853 BILLA INTRODUCED, Mr. Crank introduced a bill to repeal the law relative to the reeovery of debts against corporations.

Mr. Taner called up his resolution amending the con- stitution relative to the constitutional oath of office, which is as follows:— Resolved, if the Assembly concur, That the present Senate and Assembly, in pursuance of section one of Ar- ticle thirteen of the eonstitution of this State, propose that section one of article twelve of said constitution be 80 amended that the oath of office prescribed in the iast mentioned section shall read as follow: “1 dosolemn!: so may be), that Twill support United States and the Constitution of the State of Now York; that I will faithfully discharge tho duties of tho office of Senator, scoording to the bost of my ability; that I have not, directly or indirectly con- tributed or agreed to contribute any monoy or poctniary m ‘obe used in or about the election at which I was chosen to said office, except for the purposes and to the ex- tent expressly authorized by tho laws of this Stato; and that Thave not oF promisod to any voter any monoy, thing of . oflice oF appointment, oF promise of oficial or indi: vidual influence in obtaining any office, deputation, or pub- Ue placofor/him or for any other person, to induco him to ‘vote for or support me, or any candidate or candidatos at the suid election.” ‘Mr. Tange added an additional resolution to prohibit candidates from refunding money paid out by others. The resolutions lie over. EXECUTIVE SESSION—NOTHING DONE. The hour of twelve o'clock arriving, it was announced that the Senate was in executive session.

Aupaxy, March §,. 1853. Mr. Looms moved, and the House ‘agreed, to take up his bill to provide means to pay the State debt, to sup- port the government, and to carry on the public works. We annex the-features of this measure :— Section one im; a tax of a milland two tenths of a mill on each dollar of taxable property, instead of the present tax, Section two appropriates $575,000 to the general fund for the ordinary expenses of the govermment ; $100,000 for canal claims; $144,000 for the payment of claims ‘not provided for by law ; $144,000 for work done by contrac- tors ; $20.000 to improve locks on Cayuga aad Seneca ca- nal ;’ and $50,000 to enlarge the Oswego canal. Section three appropriates the balance of the tax, as well as the surplus revenues of the canal, to enlarge ‘the Frie and Genesee Valley and Black River canals. The first business in order was the proposed amend- ment of Mr. Champlin to the first section, making pro- vision for the laying of a State tax of seven tenths of a mill, and a special tax of one-half of one per cent, upon the capital of banks, and five per cent on the gross earn- jogs of railroads. ir. Hastincs, (whig) of Monroe, supported the view that banks are already fully taxed, and ought not to be specially burdened. Mr. Cuamrtax, (dem.) of Alleghany, declared that while the State is in need of money, these corporations naould afford aid to the Treasury, in's small degree _com- Mensurate with the privileges the Stato confers on them. Mr. Woon, (whig) of Onondaga, argued that this pro- position of special taxation was ‘unequal and upju and that there would be a greater appearance of if it had been proposed to levy the same tax on Perty controlled by corporations. Mr. Burrovaus (ind. dem.), of Orleans, made a long specch against the bill, in the course of which he com- mented on the course of the democratic members of the Legislature on the Nine Millions bill. Loomis, (dem.) of Herkimer, followed in support of the bill, and spoke in favor of taxing banks. Tho State had given them advantages for which it is entitled toa return. In giving them Hower to mnke from 10 to 16 r cont, on their capital, ithas the right to exacta bonus for it. But a small return for these benefits is now claimed. Ifhe believed the Legislature woukl agree to the amendment of the constitution, he wouli not be in, favor of taxation. Responsible men have offered to com plete the canal for $6,000,000, yet the minority report Taya $15,000,000 will be required. jotions were made to rise report. Mr. Loouts hoped the Committee would dispose of the bill—and they refused to ris The debate was further continued, when the Committee was found to be without » quornm. A eall of the House followed, and after some time a quoram was obtained, and businers was razumed in com- mittee, Mr. Hexpme, (whig) of Livingsten, moved to amend the bill, that all incorporations, except charitable, reli- gious, and educational institutions, should be taxed as raiderays. Mr. Woon supported the amendmeat, if a system of special taxation was to be insisted on—if not, he should, on the final vote, go against this special tax. Mr. Hendee’s amendment was lost. Mr. Campi asked consent. to amend his amendmont, by taxing the earnings of railways after deducting ex: nses. Mr. Perens, (whig) of Genesee, then spoke at length upon the bill ‘Mr. Jacksox, (dem.) of Chenango, moved to include incorporated canal companies. The Delaware and Hud son Canal ought to be taxed. Agzeed to. Mr. Forsy7#, (dem ) of Albany, moved to include in the syeciol tax citizens worth over $100,000. Lost, Mr. Srewanr, (whig) of Delaware, moved ti include proprictors of tnanorial lands.
