Wasvatox, April 30—7 P, M. ‘The article in yesterday's Union upon Governor Lane’s | smovements in Mezico, and which has deen noticed in the | New York and other papers, as indieating that the ad- sinistration has not disapproved of his proceedings, doesnot, we have the best reason to know, express in any way the opinion of the government; and in proof of this, it will be seen that early next week a now Governor will be appointed for that territory, the conduct of Gov. ernor Lane. beifg considered so ill advised as to render his immediate removal necessary. The refusalof the officers of the army to join in the coup d'état, meets with the full approval of the President. So faras Mr. Bartlott’s in itial point is concerned, it is known that the present ad. ministration does not regard it favorably, and to this cextent, therefore, endorses Mr. Gray’s refusal to acquiesce in it. It is mot, however, so clear that Mr. Gray’s subsequent course in running the boundary, was in keeping with his refusal to agree with the initial point, as he practically adopted it by running the line west of El Paso, prectsely where Mr. Bartlett's line would be carried across. In other words, Mr Gray’s “ practice” does not agree with his “the "The whole matter has been so complicated that it will probably require to be adjusted by diplomatic negotia- tions, In any event, the Governor of the territory will not be permitted to interfere. Under the treaty he has nothing to do with adjusting the boundary ; nor is it contemplated to invest him with powers foreign to his legitimate duties. Iti: question to be settled by the two governments, not by the Governor of a territory. in this connection it is due to the administration that it should be understood it does not recognise the necessity ‘of having an organ here or elsewhere. It is but justice to the Union, also, to state that the administration is not responsible for its views ; nor is it probable its able editor desires a contrary impression should prevail. Ita article on Governor Lane did not, unquestionably, speak the sentiments of the President. ‘The following appointwents have been determined upon, and il be made on Monday. You can rely upon the statement :— Governor Seymour, of Connecticut, Minister Plenipo tentiary to Russia. General Gadsden, of South Carolina, Minister Plenipo tentiary to Mexico. General Dix, of New York, Minister Plenipotentiary to France. General Gadsden was a favorite officer of General Jack- son, acting in his campaigns of the war of 1512, as his | aid. He was nominated by Mr. Monroe as Adjutant Gen- | eral of the United States. On the redustion of the army he removed to Florida, and was the unsuccessful canii- aate for delegate to Congress from there, at three elections. On General Bernard's retarn to France, he was appointed | Brigadier-General of U. S. Engineers in his stead, which | office General Gadsden recommended sould be abolished, and resigned. He is a gentleman of high attainments and ability. | Whatever disposition may be made eventually in Mr, | Wise’s favor, itis certain that as yet be las not been | thought of by the cabinet in coamee@ea with any mission. : Nothing has been determined upon for Mr. Meade; bat, as the choice of the democracy of Virginia, it is probable be will receive an appointment.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERICR Wasuinaton, Oct. 23, 1850, sun—Breyet Lieutenant Colonel James D. Graham, of the corps of topographical engiceers, having been detailed, by order of the I’resident, as principal astronomer and head of the scientitie corps, on the part of the United States, to asist you in running. tracing, and marking the line of boundary between the United States and Mexico, under the fifth article of the treaty uf Guadslupe Hidalgo, he will be received and recognized in that capacity. ie will meet with the joint commission of the two govern. ments, and will aid you in digesting and arranging (in concurrence with the Mexican commissioner a2d his asso- alates) the plan of operations in the Aeld, (taking care to observe the terms of the treaty.) and in’ orgauizing par ties and giving the necessary directions to subordinates. It appears to this department that a reorganizatien of the scienufle corps, on our side, is desirable ; and it is recommended to you that this should take place as soon as practicable, inacccrdance with such joint understand- ing between Lieutenant Colonel Graham and yourself ax will tend to promote, in the best manner, the progress of the important work before you, and to bring it to as early a completion as possible, With this view, and for the pur pore of establishing a system of responsibility and disci- pline throughout, it is recommended that the scientific corps on our side be placed under the immediate direction of Lieutenant Colonel Graham, to receive from him such written and verbal instructions as he may deem necessary toa full understanding of the duties to be performed on | all parts of the work; and that all reposts from the heads of parties be made to him, from time to time, as he may direct; and he will be required to report to you, as often as you may desire, all operations and their pro- gress; and he will be held responsible to you for the suc- cessful prosecution of the scientific departments of the work, Should doubts arise betseen yoursel: and the Mexican commissioner, as to the propér location of any purt or parts of the boundary described ia the treaty, Lieutenant Colonel Graham will be required to cause to be surveyed any route, line or lines, that you may deem necessary to elucidate and satisfy your mind in reiation to any such questions, and to make report to you there op, accompanied by such plans or drawings as you may deem necessary. For the accuracy ard faithful execu tion of these duties, he will be held responsicle to you | as the commiseioner of the United States. The head of the scientific corps will be allowed a clerk, to be appointed by himself, who will receive $1 000 (one thourand dollars) per annum, and such subsistence and fon or mileage ax may be allowed to lisute ched to the conmirsivn. ‘the uct of Congress of May 15. 1850, provides that if the duty of astronomer be performed oy an officer of the army, his pay shall be increased to the aum of three vhousand dollars per annum Congress no deubt thought proper to allow this addi tional compensation in consideration of the laborious and responsible duties devolving wpon that officer On xeference to the law, it is found that the pay of Lieutenant Colonel Grahan#(he being paid according to 2 | bis rack as major of topographical eagineers) is sixty dollars per month, or seven hundred aud twenty dollars per annum. He will, therefore, be entitled 10 receive from the appropriation for the ruoning aad markiag this boundary line the sum of two thousand to hundred and eigbty dollars per annum, and in that proportion from | the time he may receive his orders from this depart- ment ; and he will be allowed ten cents psr mule for his t:ansportation, while travelling on duty connected with the commission. For these allowances he will be authorize’ to draw on you or on this department, payable in Washington, as he may prefer. His personal expenses will be allowed him in addition, as have been, or way be, allowed to other officers of the commis-lon, due regard being uad to his rank, When the field duties shell be completed? or at any time that it may be found absolutely necessary to sus pend them, owing to impediments of climate, &o.. the plerting aud drawing of the maps will be prosecuted under the direction of the head of the scientific corps and under your general supervision, in ov epsration with the Mexican commissioner acd his scientific corps—the election of the draughtsmep, and the vther members of the scieatific corps on our side, to be approved by Lieute nant Colonel Graham and yourself, due regard being had to their scientific qualifications. It is recommended that the maps sho «ing tl 9 boundary as marked nud agreed upon by yourself and {he Mexican commis» oner, and the surveyors on both sides, be drawn on @ scale of 1 $0,000 on aseries ot sheets of what tscailed double elephant drawing paper; the whole, #hen com- pleted, to be signed by the head of the scwn life corps, before being authenticated by the comuissi as is required by the treaty. In addition to this series, to bo bound up in one or more volumes, may be found con- , such localities as it may be deemed important to n more minute detaii may be drawa ov a scale ing 1-6000, and a general map should be coa- structed of the whole boundary, in two or more sheets, on a scale cf about one inch to ten miles or say 1-700,000. ‘The bead of the scientific corps will have (a9 custody of the astronomical and surveying instrumeats and appa ratu., for which he will be respoasible to this depart ment, and he will be charged with their distribution to the assistants and surveyors, as he way deom necessary for the pertormance of their duties, tue, veusgy accouut able to him for the same Disbursements for the purchase avd repairs of instra ment» willatso be made by Colone!

RELIGIOUS The Catholic Church, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN—TAE CATHOLIC HIERAROIY, AND. THE REV. DK. VISE, Quite a discussion haa rocently taken piace in one of tho ‘Washington journais on the subject of an interesting historical statement made by the Ray. Dr. Piso, R. C.C., it has | in a lecture recently delivered by him ia the Smithsonian Institution. The lecture was a sort of pourtraysi of the private and public life of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the Catholic signer of the Declaration of independence ; and the lecturer mentioned it as a remarkable fact, that Dr. Frarklin was the first to propose to the Pope’s nuncio the establishment of a Roman Catholic hierarchy in the United States, and had even indicated tho clergyman— Rav. John Carroll—whom he wished to have named as an apostolic vicar, The statement was communicated, as worthy of public notice, to the Wasiington Hvenmg the following paragraph: The Rey. C. C. Pise, of New York, in his lecture some weeks ago, at the Smithsonian Institution, related an inter- ssting historical fact, which may not be generaily known. The learned gentleman stated, that Benjamia Franklin was the Qrst who proposed to the Pope's nuncio, at Paris, to erect a Catholic hierarchy in the United States, and that he strongly recommended the appointment of the Rey, Jobn Carroll, of Maryland, as the first bishop #rapklin’s wish was soon afterwards cousplied with and Mr. Carroll was appointed Bishop of Baltimore The truth of the allegation mado by Dr. Piso was quos- tioned and combated by enother correspondent under the initials G.C. HL, who etated that the fact was mot only without foundation but the vory contrary of the trata Dr. Pise's veracity or correctness of information being then called in question, he responded to his chailongar by the following letter — Mr. Eprror:—In reply to G ©. 1 see of Baltimore was erected at the suggestion of Dr. Franklin, as I stated in my lec. before the Suithso nian Institution, I beg !eave to suy.that Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, was my authority id not assert *h: ho denies that the ade the proposition in ig feo te government but in private conversation with nuncio at Paris, Ul must be borne in mind that the American people Lad recenily thrown off their political al to the power of Grout Britain; but the Cutnolies were still under the astical javis apostolic of London, and Dr. Frank lin intimated ¢ suneio the expedicucy of relieving the American Catuolics from all dependency in spiritual matters on that prelate, and af appointing @ bishop of n; and when the question arose where the see wan to decstablished aad by wom filed Dr Franklin dewignated the city of Baltimore, aud named hiy feieud and fellow commissioner lo Canaa, tho Rev. Johu Ca: roll. and, moreover, it. was through his influeaue with the nuncio, that the Pope wi duced to address the note cited by G. C. H. to the Congress of the United States. Those who were present at my lecture remember that I did not dwell so much on the bistoric as the private of Mr, Carroll, and that I related a tnousand anecdotes which Tbad learned from his own lips. at his own fire side, but which history docs not record. Among theso was the fact” in question, which being traditionury eonnot be verified by written testimony, but which no ther history nor the note of the sovereign pontiff to Con gress in any manner contradict G. CH must remember that the Rey Jebn Carroll ad been sent by Congress on a mission to Canada with Dr Franklin. It is natural to suppose that Franklin destred to reward Mr Carroll for his services to the republic. Asa clergyman, tbe portals of political preferment were closed against him. “In the chureh be mixht be clevs ted 10a position which he eminently merited; on this ac count Franklin named him to the nuncio as most worthy to be cecorated with the mitre and for whom a see, in the city of Baltimore, shout be crested: In stating t “ fact.’ Thad no intention to insinuate that Dr Frenklin was instrueted by the Amer yernment to negotiate wits the Pope in this m ; much less dd I seek to impu‘e to that philosopher any Catholic tendencies: I wished merely to show the -espect and friendship whieh he entertained for Mr. Carroll and his anxiety to render the American Catholics independent of the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of an English Bishop, the erection of a so» in the United States. If G © Hl heard my lecture, he will do me the justice to a knowledge that F d:d not appear be‘ore the Smithsonian Ta. stitution as a sectarian, butto portray the character of the Catholic signer of the Declaration of Lidependevce. tine “fact” introduced was merely ineitental; it had been mentioned more than once by that vone.able patriot himeelf in bis old age, and repeated yery frequently by the late Archbishop Marechal, the intioate friend of Charles Carroll. In conclusion, I will add that the circumstance of the Pope addressing a note to Congress on the subject of erecting a see in tho United Sta‘es, and leaving it discre tionary with them “to choose a bishop, either from among the subjects of the United States of North Ameri en, or from the subjects of a foreign nation the most friendly with the United States’’—this very circumstance, Tsay, shows that Dr. Franklin was at the’ bottom of the arrangement, He designated the nev Jono Carrol, ‘a subject of the United Statex"’—n native of Maryland; anit It proved that there was no necessity to lok to a foreign nation” fcr the first bishop of the American chureh, when there was such a man in the United sta es ag John Carroll, the cousin of the ovly Catholic signer of hington WNb Pisb, D CHARLES CONSTA Breoklyn.
