AFFAIRS IN WASHINGTON. Seciety and Politics in Washington—No 8, 10°THS EDITOR OF THE HPKALD. Wasuiwoton, D. C., Feb. 23, 1854. In my last despatch I alluded to three interviews I bad had with my smiable and complaisant friend the President, but I only gave an account of two of them, The third is yet to be told; but it was about Nebraska, aud I shall skip it for the present. The President came to my room one evening, after my last letter was written, at the Western Hotel, and spent a quiet two hours, and took his departure. One result of that visit was that I, too, had to take my departure, which has resulted in some embar- Fassment to my writing materials. But to retarn temporarily to the Western Hotel, of which Mr. James Maher is proprietor, and of which I was a guest: No sooner had the President left for she White House than up came Mr. Maher. As he en- tered the room fire flashed from his eyes. He did not remove his bat, and for a moment I feared that he would have an attack of apoplexy or burst. His rage was unspeakab'e. At last it came out. “Your name is Green?” “Precisely.” “You, perhaps, suppose I don’t know the indi- vidual who came to see you on the ly?” “Well, what if you do?” “WhetifI do? I'll te'l you what, Mr. Green. ‘You have seen that letter General Andrew Jackson wrote me? Very well. He wasa friend of mine, and he was no abolitionized free soiler; and no more mI. Your friend that has just left is one of that tribe. He can’t come here any more.”’ “ Why, man alive, that was General P., the Preal- @ent.” “Suppose it was? He can’t come here to oon- eoct free eoil traps. I won’t allow it.” But, my dear sir—” “Don’t dear sir me, if you want to have free soilers about your ——” “But let me explain.” I don’t want any.” “Very well, Mr. Maher, I shall leave your house this very night; and now have the goodness to leave my room.” Mr. Maher left very sudJenly. This really is a very serious business, thought I to myself; but I packed up in a hurry, and went for a porter. On my return I paid my bill and removed to private lodgings on E. I. G., or H street, near Sixteenth street, and close by the White House. This really @istreesing casualty in my Washington life has quite upset me, aud so confused my memory that I acereely retain a vivid recollection of what passed on that occasion. I will try, however. After we were seated and had made the usual complimentary remarks and questions, such as “ this is quite a su little room,” “burn wood, I see,” “% the feed ?”” “obliged to find your own candles, I sup- pose?” ‘ where do you get your segars?” and being duly and respectfully answered, our conversation ebanged to Russia in particalar, and to the prospects te and ails Senay) outa a r. Green, you are pretty ed up about mankind generally. You must have heen a great reader in your noe youthful days?” “ 2 “« Where did you find books in Green Valley?” “Oh, we bad two circulating libraries there; but then you are aware that I used to spend a great deal of my time in Portamouth, and had aczess to the library of Levi Woodbury.” “True, Sam. Poor Levi! Lucky for me he died, wasn’t it? Do you know that I have an idea that if he had have lived I should not have been Prosi- dent now?” it hos may double the idea, and betsome you would me “D> know, Charley?” Lik a book.” “Bam, how much great things depend upon d—d Tittle ones, don’t they?

Coveequently he would not nave studied J foci loan aud there never would have been any Newton pip- “That’s a profound remark of yours, Mr. President; and to illustrate it more lucidiy and more classically, if it bad not have beea for Helen, froy would not have become celebrated for making a large bonfire.

How so?” “Open that window and let some of this infernal smoke escape, and I will tell you. There, that will do. My weakest moments came just before the election in 1852. At that time Charley W. came to my place with my polite Soule. Through Charley Sperone I committed myself with a promise that, it elected, P. S. should have a foreign mission. Af- ter he left I wrote him a letter at Boston, and was idiot enough to say in black and white that I would d>so. Damn this letter writiog in private.

It is a curse to the country and to the great mass of the American people.

To tell youthe candid truth,Sam, whatever may have been my feelings two or three ago about free soil, they are changed now. I have seen such misery and degradation of humanity in refer- ence to office, among the white population, and the freedom and happiness of slaves, that my feelings are chan; 1 go now for carrying slavery into ever Territory that we may acquire on this continent. atill further—if I was a member of the New Hamp- , and the question was agitated to wery there T would vote for it.

He borrowed the needle of the stage driver, and Sen two cents for the thread. He cat off a piece of his own coat tail for the patch.” “My God, yon don’t tell me that!—and he boasts of it. Now, Mr. President, don’t you think you would have done a great deal better if’ you never had have called Old Marcy to the Cabinet? Teli me candidly.” “He 1 a queer old joker.” “Joker! you will find he is no joke before you get through with him; and if yoadon’t do that socn he will put you through @ political course of sprout. You may wager high on that.” “ Bat etill he bas a good many splendid traits about him. Did you ever, Sam, read avything more concise than that report to me about our foreign rela- tionr, and especially about costumes? Why sir, Dud- ley Mann, who has been in Europe, tells me that the Koezta letter and Marcy’s report will ring in ot ae even amidst the crush of ires, the tumbling | over of kingdoms, the wreck of worlds, and all that You've been acquainted with a | any gen ee fellows here. Do you know any of the few Yorkers that are moving about here?” “ Yes, I know a groat many.

He came very pear getzing ine into @ precious scrape with one of them. 1 actually, Sam, had ordered his appoint- ment ar Navy Agent of New York, bat luckily the New York delegation stepped in and provented it. It’s a poritive tact. “ How was that, Mr. President?” “ Forney had a bovom friend of the name of Hart, | an ex-inember of Cougress, that he wanted appointed Wavy Agent. He had a host of other friends to back bim up, and we decided to give this Mr. Hart the bape Dobbin was to send in the papers, and 'T. Hart was told be could leave, and it for the mail in New York. He did leave, and I considered | the business off my hands and settled; but it was no gach thing.” “ How was that?” “T'll tell you. Iam not @ natural fool, Sam; and when I learned that the New York city delegation was down on that appointment, I re-considered it, and did not make the appointment, even atter I had assured the man and his friends that it was a certain thing, and poor Dobbin had said ditto. Cool—was it - net?” queer, indeed; but, if it won't take up too much time, tell _me how it happened. It is worth making a note of, for it begins to appear to me that & President, even, can’t do as be likes.” “No, indeed, Sam. This Hart, who was to be Navy Agent in New York, went off at five o'clock.

But, seriously, Mr. President, what a paltry, ped- dling, puny position the State Department presenta at this moment.

Ce The naderet ged merchants and others, citizens of New York, beg leave to represent to your houora- ble bodies, that certain unprovoked insults aud wan ton attacks upon ths persons of Amerfoan ship- masters, officers and seamen, were recent! y commit ted at the Chincha Islands, by the authorities of Pera —one on the 10th, one on the 17th of August, 1853, and another on the 2d of September following. ese occurrences, we learn fron some of the officers themeelves, now in this port, were briefly as follows :— On the 10th of Angust, the first officer of the American ship Red Rover went on board the guard- ship of the Peruvian authorities, at Chincha, in com- pany with his Captain, to explain an occurrence which had taken place on the deck of his own ship. The commandant, without listening to explauation, instantly, on his coming on board, placed him in irons, and so kept him for a considerable space of time. A few days sul juently to this, several American seamen were seized and imprisoned in the same manner. . Ta the absence of any representative of Amerivan interests—either Minister, Consul, or veanel of war— our ship-mnasters waited upon the commandant of the port,on board hia guard-ship, to inquire ino the cause of this imprisonment by him of American sea: | men, when suddenly, without assigning any reason therefor, or even wipers them to make known to him the object of their visit, he ordered his mariaes tocharge upon thea: with fixed bayonets, an/i drive them from his preseuce overboard, which orécr was immediately enforced, with such extreme vivleace as that some of them were driven into the see, many = severel| Ervigas pnd wounded at all ak ejected m the guard: 5 , on the of the same month, Admiral Moresley, Commodors of the British sqnadron, touched at these Usiands, and on on. the, circumstances before men- tioned, informed the commandant that the British government was the ally of the United States and France, and in the absence cre ae ship of war, he should protect American ts; aad hay- ing demanded and received from the said Coumand- ant the most positive assurances that he would not commit any farther act of violence rpon Americans, he sailed again on the 25th inst. for Val iso.
