INTERESTING FROM WASHINGTON NEW YORK POSTMASTERS APPOINTED. Message of Gov, Seymour to the Connecticut Legislature, NEW U. & SENATOR FOR RHODE ISLAND. The Latest from Washington. THE FOREIGN MISSIONS NOT YET DISPOSED OF— LARGE NUMBER OF POST OFFICE APPOINTMENTS FOR NEW YORK, ETC. SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Wasuineron, May 4—8 P. M. In consequence of the absence of the Secretary of War, ol. Davis, who is confined to his room, no definite action was had to day by the cabinet upon the foreign appoint- ments, The subject was however freely discussed. With the exception of three important missions I telegraphed you about last week, nothing has yet been determined upon definitely by the President. So far as the other foreign appointments are concerned, all the statements of the chances of different individuals for missions, chargeships, and consulates, are more guesses or feelers thrown out by the interested parties. Certainly no inti. mations have been given by the cabinet to warrant the Tumors. Aso general rule, it will be found, when the appointments are made, that more attention has been paid to the States and qualifications of those appointed, than to the consideration as to whether the party was the most urgent in pressing his claims, or had the largest number of papers and signatures to endorse him, This principle has already marked the appointments, and it will continue to do so. Many of the important appoint- ments s0 far have been of persons who were not even ap- plicants for office. The Courier and Enquirer urges asa reason why Mr. Aspinwalljshould be retained as Consul at London the fact that he has held the office for thirteen years. It is probable that such a reason would be considered here as the strongest against him, showing the necessity of send- ing some new man there, who, by living in the United Stator, has kept up with Americanifeeling and sentiment. The agony as to the New York Post Offices is nearly over, all but seven of the Presidential offices having been filled to-day, as follows :— POSTMASTERS IN NEW YORK- Batavia. Leaving yet to be filled in New York, Lewiston, Ro- chester, Waterloo, Troy, Albany, Williamsburg, and Brooklyn. The following appointments of Postmasters were also Fitchburg, Mass. “Wilkesbarre, Pa. Akron, Ohio Frankfort, Ky. “Lafayette, Tod -Colocas, California, x. Y.Z THE APPOINTMENTS FOR NEW YORK—THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT—THE GARDNER CASE, ETC. YROM THE REGULAR NEWSPAPER AGENT.

Weymer.. ther appointmenes ‘The President has appointed Mr. Hudson Collectot and H Jobn G. Dickey Portmaster, at Buffalo. ‘The Secretary of the Interior issued orders to-day for all clerks in his department to commence work at half past eight A. M., and continue till four o'clock P. M., daily. In the Gardner case; the day was occupied in argument as to the admissibility of a series of letters, purporting to have been written by J.C. Gardner. They were, first to contradict this witness, and, secondly, on the ground of his being an accomplice. The Union announces that the army officers appointod to select a site for the Western Military Asylum, are to meet in Washington tomorrow. Massachusetts Constitutional Convention. COALITION OFFICERS ELECTED, ETC Bostox, May 4, 1853, ‘the Constitutional Convention assembled at noon to- doy.

Mr. Panks was conducted tothe chair, and made a brief address. James T, Robinson, of Adams, was chosen sesretary. A committee of one from each county was appoiated by the President to present to the Convention auch amendments to the convtitution as may be deemed ad yisable—to report as early as convenient, in printed form. Adjourned to 12 o'clock to-morrow. Late from Brazos, THE STEAMSH(P CINGINNATI—CARA- VAJAL, ETC. New Onteays, May 3, 1853. The steamship Yacht has arrived here from Brazos, bringing $73,000 specie. She reports that the steamship Cincinaati, from New Orleans, in attempting to cress Brazos bar, on the 23d ult., was driven among the breakers, her engine disabled, and she would prove a total loss.

Another break in the caral, at Albion, is reported this morning. Fires in Providence.

Daniel B. Warner, of the Nineteenth district, as presi- dent, protem., and Julius L. Sttong, of Bolton, as clerk, The House was organized by the cttcice of W. W. Eaton, of Hartford, for Speaker, and Roland flitchcock, of Win- chester, and Gilbert Phillips, of Woodstoek, clerks, The appointments, of course, are all dembcratic, In the afternoon Governor Seymour delivered his an- nual message. He represents the financial condition of the State as ina flourishing condition, with a surplus of $50,000 in the treasury, and recommends the reduction of the State tax. The income of the school fund during the past year was $185,000, and the amount of dividend per scholar was $1 35. He recommends the establish. ment of ublic seminaries of learnii proves tno etablitment ofthe State Keform ool, and recommends a ther a ria ti of $25,000. He says the Free Ha law ‘of the last session has worked well, and recommends the most searching investigation into'the affairs of the two banks which bave recently failed. He advises some le- gislation to check the amount of circulation of the old chartered banks, and the passage of a law to prevent the issue of fractional bills; ) 8 the country would be be- nefitted by striking out of existence all bills of a denomi- nation less than $6, and says that the property of the stockholders of banks should be liable for the debts of the institutions. He thinks that many of the accidents ard abuses upon railroads would be remedied by the sycineneat of @ general railroad commissioner, to stand between railroad companies and the public. His previous opinions of the injustice of the Maine law have en strengthened by recent decisions ef the courts. He speaks favorably of the Industrial Exhibition in the cit; of New York, and of African colonization. Recommends the abolition of eapital punishment, and is in favor of a convention for the revision of the constitution. He con- cludes by saying that he shall not again be a candidate for re-election, MILITARY BALLS IN HONOR OF GOY. SEYMOUR— MAGNIFICENT DISPLAY, ETC. Hanrrorp, May 4—11 P. M.

The sembied wisdom of the State have conciuded their ardu- ous duties. After a session of fifty one days, the Conven- tion has framed a constitution, finished its Inbors, and, content with the work it has performed, adjourned. This (Seturday) morning, the bill of rights, the amended constitution, and the schedule, having been engrossed. the Convention took them up and com nenced the reading by sections. Pending the reading, the Convention avjourned to the afternoon. When the delegates ¢- assembled. the reading was continued When the ill of rights, the constitution as amended, and the schedule, had been gone through with, the delegates were culled ia alphabetical order, to sign the documents.

After this formal preceeding, a resolution of thanks, ke, was voted in honor of the President, Truston P.

Another Cargo of Slaves La ed in Cuba— Spanish Views of Mr. Soule’s ApDointment, &., ke, &e. a The United States Siail steamship Empire City, Captela Wendle, arrived yesterday morning, from New Orleaus and Havana, She arrived at Havana on the 20th ult , #t4 A. Mf. and left at 1 P. M., same day. We are indebted to Mr. R. Craig, the purser of the Em- pire City, for late intelligence and papers. ‘The passengers of the Empire City report that the slaving bark Rady Suffolk, had succeeded inf Ianding, near Matanzas, thé dsy previous to the arrival of the steamer, & cargo of six hundred slaves. It will be recollected that the departure of this vesset from Cuba, for the esast of Africa, caused much talk some time back. She was bailéat, and sailed from, Baltimere, with am American captaim and crew, who, on her arrival in Cul, were discharged, and’ replaced by # Spanish captain and crew, and shortly after sailed for Afrtes. Some proceedings were taken there against Capt. Gray, her former commander, who, with his men, was arrested, but they resulted in nothing. The Diario de la Marina devotes three editorial articles, in ite issues of the 224, 234 and 2th of April, to the dis- cussion of the appointment of Mr. Soulé as United States Minister at Madrid. In its first article, the Diario states ite belief that, notwithstanding Mr. Soulé’s antecedents» he will conduct himself according to the best diplomatic ‘traditions, and asks. him to recollect and profit by the examples of the treatment of Mr. De Salvandy and Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer, We respect—it continues—the government of the Anglo-American republic’ too much not to credit its recent legal and friendly declarations, nor do we believe that its representative would forget himself so far as to infringe the instructions he may re ceive. The prebability—nay, the certainty—is thot Mr. Soulé will receive a decent sum for the expenses of yoy age and installation ; will enjoy himself as suits his taste; will draw his fine sulary in all tranquillity, enjoying the otium cum dignitate of his new position. In its next article, the Diario says :—‘‘ Indeed, Mr. Soulé is European by birth and education, a3 we believe he was suffieiertly grown when the political vicissitudes of France moved him to seek an asylum in the New World. During his ong residence in the United States, he will bave tempered himself as much as possible to the cha- racter of the country and of the inhabitants; still, it is not imposrible to discovor in the speeches and opin- ions of the ex-Senator of Louisiana, and present diplo- matist, mapy vestizes and tastes of the European democ. very Gifferent, certainly, inform, and even in sub- stance, from those which his Anglo American co religion- pen ee But be that as it may, the substance still sul ; Farther on it ssys:—At the first word that the new representative of the United States in Madrid may utter rexpecting negotiations for the purchase of the island of Cuba, and the energetic coldness of the repulse be will receive, he would acquire the conviction of how wiidand visionary euch a project is. The unanimity of sentiment in this coun’ is, in this mutter, amazing, and if aay public mau of Epain should be even wanting in national reer gs ay impossibility—his own self respect. and regurd for his name and existence, would prevent him giving publicity to bis weakness. Interest and honor— which weigh still heavier in the balance—dictate to us to defend resolutely the integrity of our territory. In its third article, the Diario treats the matter more lightly, and pay fe suppose that the nomination of Mr. Soulé is reduced to the mere concession of a good st for w political friend, who is in need of it, and who ad worked with ardor in the recent election campaiga, for which he deserved a reward according to the ways spd customs of that eount:y. Such is the signification that we give it, neither more nor less because any other hypothesis would involee against the government of Wa:bington an accusation of evident infamy in the man- agement of its affairs.
