SPRCIAL CORRESPONDENCR OF TTR NEW YORK HERALD. Wasuincron, April 22—10 P. M. To-morrow, it is understood, is to be devoted by the cabinet to the consideration of the foreizn appointments, ‘The applicants baye waited with commendable patience, and although sufficiently numerous to form a consider- able army, no emeute has taken place. It is right, there- fore, that their good conduct should be rewarded by a *peedy a ljuriment of thelr claims. As to who will be ap- Jointed it is impossible to do more than guess, for no inkling bas yet been given by any authoritative source, It is, however, known that, a4 a general rule, if not in- deed 2 universalone, Mr. Marcy's choice will be respected. Appliconts bave, for the most part, been referrod to him by the President; and when, in one instance, the appli- cant remacked he was not on good terms with Mr. Marey, he was comferted with the sigvificant reply, “That's unfortunate.” Inetead of the number of office seekers diminishing they appear to be on the itcrease. On Friday and Satar- dey the halls and staircases of the White House were crowded with them, Today the President threw the door of Lis office open, aud admitted the crowd all at once. It was @ motley assewblage, from aspirants to full missions down to messengerships, whilst some looked as if they would even be content with a suit of old clothes, ‘They poured into the room for several hours, presenting @ humiliating spectacle. The Republic and Union sre discussing Gen. Pierce's foreign policy, and inflsting the now really unimportant questions a« to British pretensions in Central America. ‘There can Le no doubt but what the President, as I stated several weeks ago, regards the right of England, or acy Euroyenn power, to join us in any treaty or arrangement ‘with any government on this Continent, utterly inadmis- sible, and that he will never sanction, under his admin- istration, the absurd if not dangerous principle contaia- ed tn the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. At the same time, he perfectly understands that England has @bentoved all intention of continuing the odi- ‘ous Mosquito protectorate, mot only because of ‘the feeling it created in this country, but be- couse of ite umprofitableners. Englard, however, will endeavor to make the subject a matter of negotiation if posible because it is good material to trade upon, and if manoged with ability it may yet obtain her elsewhere substantiv! advantages for its empty concession. Her wily axa regacious diplomatists in this way humbugged ‘the lest edministration—but the game is over now. ‘The peyers are laboring under a mistale as to the ‘treaty lately comirmed by the Senate with one of the Coatral American States. Mr. Squier made two treatiosa— one with the State of Nicaragua, which related to the construction of a canal open to ail nations—the other with the State of fan Salvador, which was purely of a commercial character, and had no reference to the ca- wal, It was this last treaty which was confirmed by the Senate. ihe Nicaragua canal treaty bas not been con- trmed. ‘The Washington papers do not appear to be aware of the fact, but the country will ere long, that there have been «creat many Presidential appointments made since the adjournment of the Sena: The departmesta, bowever, feel » delicacy about publishing the names, for fear, I suppose, that the length of the list might affect | ‘the nerves of the delicate portion of the community, I can imagine no other reason. x.

I am sorry Ibave not @ copy of his tion to enclose, The most intense excitement Serors Jacquez and Zal rom Chihuahua, who are here to settle the affuirs this canton, bave taken the matter in hand and replied to Gov. Lane, who is now at refusing in the most emphatic manver to give up the territory in dispute, and to that have garri- soned tle Mccilla with 100 regular t tnd the nutional pe of the town, to thenumber of 125. The guard of El 80 have orders to keep themselves in readiness to as: me at amoment’s notice, with provisions for fourteen ‘ays. am informed that all the Americans have been order- ed to leave tho Mecilla; but! think this is a mistake, and that a guard is kept at the crossing to that town every night, to guard against surprise, I suppo:e. When Gov- ernor Jane issued his proclamation, he sent @ copy to the authorities of El Paso. I+ was his intention to have visit- ed the town next day; but during the night the Prefesto informed the American Consul that if the Governor came over be would be arrested. ‘tho Consul advised the Gov- ernor of the fact, and the latter did not cross the river. You are well aware of the ill-feeling that has existed between the Moxicans and Americans since This affair has aggravated it, and to be called “grit on the street is a common thing. The Prefect», however, told me to inform the America: ere that their persons and property were perfectly secure, and that he would yeni to the extent of the law any attempt to injure either. An express bas been rent to Chihuahua for men and arms, and the Mexicans look confidently for both in tea days, How Gov. Trias will look at the matteris not hard to guess, and I suppose he will, as they asy in thelr an- awer to the proclamation, ‘preserve the national honor against all aggressions.” Divided as Mexico is at present, each faction woking against the other, she would be able tomake very little resistance to Gov. Lane, if he should raise the votunteers of New Mexico; and to the United States the country would fall an eaxy prey, should our government find it necessary or expedient to take it. It ie generally thought hero that Gov. Lone will be sus- tained fone rament, and if so it will beak atric towards bringing on war, which would result in jection of Mexico, Governor Laue ealled upon Colonel Miles to sustata him with the gc a Fort Fillmore, which the colonel declined to do. alleging, as I am informed, that he had instructions from Colonel Sumner to refuse the sy teont tion, should it be made and also that he doudted Gover: nor Lane's right to take the te-ritory in dispute. The Commissioner. }ir. Dartlett, when he placed the tuitial int above the Mccilla, gave great dissatisfaction; and he recent refusal of Congress to appropriate money ua- the line was run according to the treaty gives the nor a show of o right to demand the territory. y American bere is satisfied that the line, as rua by Bartlett. is not correct, and that Gencral Conde out- g veralled him. With the document before thom, it is im- rc that Congress will agree to the boundary line as t is now placed, and we are looking for another commis sioner out before long. PROCLAMATION. ‘Whereas, a portion of territory on the weat side of the Rio Grande Nel Norte, thirty-four miles wide by ove hun- dred and seventy-eight miles long, be the same more or less, is now claimed. the United States of America and by the republic, respectively, under the provi- jons of the treaty ot Guadulupe Hidalgo. 2. From the year 1824, avd anterior thereto, until the ear 1851, this portion of the territory was acknowledged be within the limits of New Mexico; but in the year 1851,the State of Chihuahua assumed jurisdiction over the same, without producing any authority for this act from the Republic of Mexieo, and without having obtained the conrent of the United States or the territory of New Mexico; and in defiance of the remonstrance of a large portion of the inhabitants of the cisputed territory, who hen numbered two thousand souls. 3 During the diccussion of the boundary question, un- der the treaty of peace, the Commissioner of Mexico pro- posed tosbandon a part of this disputed territory, by di- viding it between the two repubjics, Aod during the jear 1852 the United States virtually asserted » right of tovercignty over all the territory in di-pute. 4, The claim of Chihuahua to this dispvted territory is believed to be based jon the upwarrantable assumption that the Board of Commissioners hud agreed upon a boundary line between Chihuahua and New Mexico, and that their 9, ment in the premises was binding both upon the United States and the Mexican republic, and therefore final ; whereas a valid agreement had not been rade and has not yet been made by said Board ; and, moreover, the scticn of the Board has been virtually re- pudiated aod nullified by the United States. 5. Fach of the bigh contracting parties to the treaty adalupe, ex re necessitate, tacitly reserved the right to accept or reject the decision of the Board of Boundary Commissioners; and if the Board had assigned the city of Chibushva and the country nor’h of it to the United Paty here in El Paso. Btater, orthe city of Senta Fe and the country south of it to the Mexican Repnblie, the action of the Board would certainly not have been regarded #5 final. €. Ever since the tenitory in «uestion was thus forcibly and illegally anvexed to the State of Chihuahua, that Sts‘e bas sigpslly failed to protect the inhabitants of the tersitory in their rights of person, of property, and of conscience, and moreover has not made a reasonible de- fence against border Indian depredations. and thereby prevented reclamations against the Uuited States for the property taken by the Indians. 7. the present’ revolutionary condition of the Mexican reoublie precludes the hope of adequate protection being afforéed by that republic to the iuhabitants in this ois- puted territory for the time being; and a large portion of the inhabitants now claim the protection ef the United States, and solicit the reannexation of their territory to New Mexico. from which it was illegally wrested by the State of Chihuahua. Now, therefore, as the United States have been wrong- fully derrived of the portion of territory in question, even should the Vexican republic have o rightiul claim to it, which is denied; and so by the law of nations the Unite: States is justly entitled to exercise jurisdiction over the rame, and protect the inhabitonts thereof in all their rights until the claim of the Mexican republic suall bs formally recognized by the United States, and as the prob- able time of the sctilement of the boundary question is | indefpitely postponed, and the interests of the United States and tho rights of the ichabitunts of the territory nately protected 1 William Carr Lae, Governor itory of New Mexico, (upon my own offivial re sponsibility, and without orders from the Cabinet at Washington.) do hereby, in behalf of the United States, retake possession of the disputed territory, to be held rovisionally by the United States. until the question of Poubes shall be determined between the United States ani the Mexican republic.

The demand for all descriptions of grain being of a strictly retail charactor the market was heavy.

In Indian corn prices wero slightly in favor of the buyer. In other grain there was little change. Red cloversced declined three shillings per ewt. In the money market, attention appeared to bo chiefly engrossed by the new scheme of the Chancellor of the Exchequer for reducing the interest on the national debt.

Thus, that illustrious clergy of ‘rauce, among whem are to bo 1emarked so many inen distinguished by their geniva, piety, knowledge, coclesi- astical spirit, and respectful rubmirsion to the Apostoli- col see, will abound more and more in courageous and skilful laboress, who, adorned with every virtue, and strengthened by the help of « saving knowledge, will be able in the course of timo to aid you in tilling the vine yard of the Lord, in replying to opponents. and in not only strengthening the faithful believers of France ia our most holy religion, but in propogating that religion by holy expeditions among distent-and infidel nations, as that samo clergy has heretofore done, to the great xlo-y of its pame, for the advantage of religion, and for the sa\ vation of eouls, You are, as we are, penetrated with sorrow at the sight of co many books, libels, pamphlets, and empoi-oned Yournals, which are incessantly and furiously spread in all parts by the enem: ¥ of God and man, to corrupt morals, cverthrow the foundations of faith, and ruin all the dogmas of our most holy religion Never cease, then, ceaily beloved sons and Venerable brethren, to employ all your solicitude and all your eplacopal vigilance to re- move unanimously, and with the greatest zeal, the flock confided to your caie from such pestilential pasturages, Never cearé to iustruct and defenit it, to fortify it ageiaat the massof errors by warnings, and’ by opportune salu tary publications. And here we cannot refrain from re minding you of the advice and counsels by which four years ago we ardently excited the bishops of all the Catholic univer:e to neglect nothing in order to induce men remarkable for talent and sound dcctrine to publish writings calculated to cause enlightenment, and to dissi- pate the darkness of the e:rors in vogue, For that reason, while endeavoring to keep fcom the faithful committed to 200%, churge, tho mortal poison of ‘bad books and bad journals, be pleased, we earnestly demand of you, to extend all your benevolence and all your favor to the men who, animated by the Catholic spirit and versed in letters and sciences, devote their time to at and publishing books and journals to cause the Catholic doctrine to be spread and defended, the rights worthy of all the veneration of this Holy See and its acts to have all their force, opinions and sentiments contrary to the Holy See and its autho- rity to disappear, the obscurity of errors to be dispelled, and intelligences to be inundated with the soft light of truth. Your charity and episcopal solicitude should then excite the ardor of those Catholic writers who are snimated with a good spiri:, in order that they may con- tinue to defend the caure of Catholis truth with atten- tion ond with knowledge; and if in theic writings it should happen to them to fail in any reapect you should warn them with paterpal word» and with prudence. Moreover, your wisdom is not ignorant that the bitterest eremics of the Catholic religion have always directed, though vainly, the most violent attacks against this chair ot the Blessed Prince of the Apos:les, knowing full well that religion iteelf can never fall. or totter, so long as this chair, founced on a rock, rhall remain standing, for the proud gates of hell caonot prevail against it, ane fn it ta entire and perfect, the solidity of the Christian religion. ‘aat is why, dearly beloved sons avd venerable brethren, we ask from you with all our power, in conformity with the grandeur of your faith in the Church, and the ardor of your piety for the cbair of Peter, never to cease to apply, with one heart and one mind, all your care, all your vigilance, and all your labors to this particular point; so that the faithful population of France, avoiding the errors and snares which are spread for them by peridious men, make it theis glory, to adhern firmly ond wish constaucy to thls ‘Aportolle See by w love aud devotedness every day more filial, and to obey it, as is right, with the greatest re- spect, In sil the ardor of your episcopal vigilance, there. fore, neg ect nothing, either in action or in words, to re- do» ble more and more the love aud veneration of believers for the Holy See, and in order that they may receive and secomplish with the most perfect obedience all that the Holy Fee teaches, lays down as rule, and decrees, And here we cannot avoid expressing to you the great grief which we felt when. among other dangerous wri- tings lately publi-hed in France, there reached us a work entitled Sur la Situation présente de U Eglise Galicune rela- tivement au drcit eoutwmier, the autho: of which contra- dicts in the mo t manifest’ manner what we recommend to you und inculcate with somueh solicitu’e. We have rent his work to ourCongregation of the Index in order that it may reprove and cond-mn it. Pefore terminating thix letter, well beloved sons and venerable brethren, we express to you again how de.irous we are that you should reject all those disoussinns aud controversies which you kuow disturb peace, wound cha- ri'y, and furnish the enemies of the Church with the srins with which they combat and torment it. Above all, have at heart the preservation of peace »moug alt, calling seriously to mind that you fulfil a mission in the namo of Him who is not a God of dissension, but a God of peace, and who bas never ceased to recommend and or- onin pence to his disciples, and to place it above al other copriderations. In truth, Christ as you all know, has placed all the gifts and rewards of his promise in the pre- servation of peace. If we are the heira of Christ let us live in the peace of Christ: if we aro the children of God we must be pacific. The children of God must be pacific, of mild hearts, simple in speech, united in affection and faithful, attached te each other in the bond. of concard.

The learned sergeant said he should call De.

Mr Ernest Jones, a gentleman of his own profession, who had been been on very intimate terms with Mr. O'Connor. and whom be would call before them, would state that in 1851 be observed a great change in Mr. O'Connor's mind.

Since Mr. O'Connor hee been under Dr. the Tuke’s manegement he had never been violent Oa coutrery, he had shown the docility of achild. This. no doubt, arose from the morel restraint which the treatment. of Dr. ‘Tuke exercised over him.

Mr. Fearpus O'Connor. - From 1845 to 1848 ‘witness con~ sioered his mind to have been of the most vigorous cha racter. Mr. O'Connor devoted himvel€ to political ques- tions, and among his plans for the amelioration of the working classes, was a land scheme, which fell into dim. culties in 1849, ‘and was brought’ before a committee of the House ‘of Commons by Sir Beejamin. Hall, and other members, Witness had observed pre occupation of Mr. O’Conuor’s mind by this febeme. ie novor talked of anything else from ity foundation up to the year 1848, and he alwaya spoke of it in a joyoys manner. He said the monet was ccming in very rapidly, and ha spoke of the great things he intended to do when the scheme got tate full work. After the Committee of the toa eof Commons had been appointed to inquire into the scheme, Mr O’Coonor’a mind became per‘ecily prostrate, lis memory failed, and in conversation Le would tell the same story over and over again. Before this period, in 1848, witnevs had ob served a great change in Mr.” O'Cormor's. writings Im bis ewspaper—tRe Ni One week he would Northern Star, recoromend a particular course of action on some politi- k, writing on the same cal question; and the rext subject, he would ‘sy down totally different rules for the guidance of his readers. Mr. O'Connor was on terms of intimacy with witness’ family, and bis condact when visiting them was alsays ‘marked by strict pro- prety. Afier 1849, witness had no opportunity of judging of his conduct for two yeara, but last year he was much struck with his “change of manner. His conduct in society was then free aad indeli- cate, and at length became so bad that when he visited witness’ house, Jones and her children were compelled to remain in privecy. About this time Mr. O'Connor made several speeches in public, im @ very loose style of oratory, occasionally interpolating them with highly indeliewte anecdotes. At Halifax he spoke of the Queen in a mar.ner which proved him to be insane; and at other places, instead of keeping to the ob- ject of the meeting at which he was speaking, he would burst out ine violent personal harangue, and recount to his hearers the number of honorable members whom he had knocked down in tbe Honse of Commons. When vi- siting witness Mr. O'Connor would occasionally burst into a violent fit of leughter. then into a flood of tears, without the rmallest perceptible reacon for either. Os- casienally he would ¢¢claim on the ingratitude which he said had been shown to him by those whom he had be- friended, but never in a connoc'ed manner. He some- times put his band to bis head and said, ‘Oh my head!” ard again he would roar lke a wild animal for an hour ata svveteh. Witness had seen Mr, O'Connor three times atDr. Tuke’s arylum.
