THE NEW YORK HERALD. WHOLE NO. 6427. NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. GREAT EXCITEMENT. IN WASHINGTON. The Difficulty between Messrs, Cutting and Breckenridge. STARTLING REPORTS—RUMORED DUEL, CONGRESSIONAL AND LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS. Ten Children Burned to Death, &e., &e., de. “Whe Eeacte botween Messrs. Catting and Breckenridge. ‘The most unprecedented excitement prevailed in Washington yesterday, concerning the unfortunate dmeute between Messrs. Cutting and Breckenridge. An idea o! the feeling manifested may be gained from the following despatches, which we give in the order received :— Wasminarox, 12 o'clock M., Marci: 29, 1864. We hare no intelligence here that any meeting haa ‘taken place between Messrs. Cutting and Breckenridge. ‘The report cent to New York to the effect that a meeting took place ‘his morning, and that Mr. Breckenridge was wounded, is undoubtedly false. Neither of the above gentlemen have made their ap- pearance in ihe House of Representatives to-day. Wasmixatox, March 29—1 30 P. M. ‘The “hards’’ in the House (exclusive of Walsh) are game, and say that thero shall be a fight between Breck- ettridge and Cutting or any other ‘hard’ if the South want it. Messrs. Benton and Richardson havo just been called in as counsellors in the case. ‘The Marshal of the District ofjColambia is searching after Cutting in order to arrest him. It is not known where Breckenridge is. Quarter To 2 O'CiocK, P. M. ‘The city was thrown into great excitement this morn- dng by a report that a duel had been fought between ‘Messrs. Cutting and Breokenridge. The excitement was mach increased by all sorts of exaggerated rumors, the ost prominent of which was that Mr. Breckenridge ‘was shot in the neck. From the most reliable sources ‘we gather information indicating that a meeting did take splace early this morning at Bladensburg. That shots ‘were exchanged ia not denied, but an intimate friend of Breckenridge denies emphatically that he (Mr. B.) was ‘wounded, or that any damage was done to either party. ‘More our informant will not say. All circum. ‘tances corroborate the rumor that fighting ‘has taken place. Mr. Cutting left the city yesterday afternoon in the half psat 3 o’clock train and Mr. Breck- enridge followed in the 5 o’clock train. This led to the impression that the duel was to take place near Bladens- darg, at which place Mr. Cutting left the train, but Mr. Breckenridge being in the express train was carried on to ‘the junction and was obliged to return, which he did fh time to secure a meeting at the place designated. ‘The affair has been 0 delicately ofranged that nothing -ean be known beyond the personal friends of the perties, ‘but there can be no doubt that neither are hurt, and that ‘the difficulty will be amisably arranged. , ‘The challenge was written by Cutting om Monday,a short time after the adjournment of the House, and ‘made known to Breckenridge about 11 o'clock at night. Yosterday the friends of tho partios were busy in making arrangements for the meeting of this morning, but the public were under the impression that efforts were mak- ing to settle the matter, and no apprehensions were felt ‘that an encounter would take place s0 soon. ‘The Marshal of the district and Attorney General are on ‘the alert, and the parties will be prevented from meeting ‘again, even if their friends fail to satisfactorily arrange be matter. Wasmneron, March 29—10 o'clock P. M. ” There exists the most intenso excitement throughout the city, and everybody is inquiring as to the result of the apprebended duel. No hostile meeting has yet taken place between Messrs. Cutting and Breckenridge. ‘Two friends on cach side have been laboring assiduously ‘gill dey toeflect a reconciliation, but as yet without suc- ess, and they have now called in a fifth as umpire. The report that Messrs. B. and C. are out of town is incorrect. They have been within the limits of the city all day; but the officers have not been able to learn their whereabouts. ‘The statements contained in my despatch dated at 1.45 P.M., (printed above,) were generally current hore at the time, and firmly believed by many deeply interested friends of both parties, Later developements show that ‘Messrs. Cutting and Breckenridge are concealed here, amd only await the decision of those who now hold the control of the affair, to fight or become reconciled. Mr. Benton and Mr. Boyd are exerting themselves to bring about a satisfactory adjustment of the difficulty without fecourse to wenpons. Nothing can exceed the excite- ment which pervades the whole city. ‘Wasumratox, March 29—103¢ P. M. ‘The difficulty between Messrs. Breckenridge and Cut- dog still remains unadjusted, each party being willing to fight, but their friends making stronuous efforts to bring about a reconciliation. Both gentlemen are still in I do not believe a hostile meeting will take Wastuncron, March 29—Midnight. 4 As a matter of paramount interest in New York, we give the current rumors of the day concerning the pend- ng duel. The city was startled this morning by a report that Cutting and Breckenridge had met upon the field, | and that Breckenridge was mortally wounded in the “geck. Great was the sensation produced, but it soon subsided. It was soon ascertained that although both parties had ' mysteriously disappeared somewhere, 0 fight had taken place. On going to the Capi- \ #1 at twelve o'clock, we were met by the report dhat Messrs. Monroe, Shields, and other friends of . Outting, and Messrs. Hawkins, Slidell, and other friends ‘of Breckenridge, had submitted the quarrel to the arbi. tration of Col. Beifton, and that the prospect was that ‘OW Bullion would compel both parties to a treaty of “peace, This evening, howover, among the most correct ‘rumors, it is reported that Cutting and Breckenridge, in- Mend of going to Bladensburg, had crossed over to the Virginia side of the river; that Cutting was seen taking dinner at the principal hotel in Alexandria, and that wubsequentlr, on going out into the country, near the District line, to meet Breckenridge, the immo- @iate friends of both parties were intercepted by Col. Benton and Speaker Boyd on a mission ot pence. It was farther said that they had failed, and that a hostile meet- ing was to come off somewhere among the pine thickets on the Virginia side, at sundown. * atten o'clock we bave no news of a fight or @ recon (lation, co that the affair stands probably adjourned ‘aver till sunrise to-morrow morning. The Marshal, the “Matrict Attorney, and others of our legal authorities, Tave been on the alert all day, and may possibly sroceed in arresting the belligerents. On the othor hand, the principals have each host of frends of both “ houses, North and South, working for a reconciliation. Meantime, Cutting and Breckenridge keep out of sight, although we believe they aro both in the city, awaiting ‘the issue of negotiations; and in spite of the challenge ‘betweon them, we incline to the opinion that a reconcili- ation will be effected without bloodshed. Itis reported that, in secepting the challenge, Breck- enridge had selected rifles as the weapons—the instru- ment, it will be recollected, which was used in the fatal Guel between Cilley, of Maine, and Graves, of Kentucky. ‘This may be #0, as rifle shooting isa favorite pastime /with all Kentuckians; but the friends of Cutting say that ‘be will not be scared off, even by a Kentucky rifle. The affair has rapidly assumed the complexion of 4 sectional dispute on Nebraska. Some even of the ‘‘soft shells’ aro beginning to stand up to Cutting, pleading that the South has bullied the North long enough, and that the time has arrived to fight it out. Such are the bitter frnits of the misguided policy of the administration. Both Sections are now ready for agitation to the extremity jution of the Union. The Fugitive Slave law, declared, will be hereafter a dead letter; and there ‘are Morthorn men said to be ready to dofeat Nebraska at all hesards, should it come to life again, though to kill may. But if it enda in blood, it is but the beginning of the end. Hence the universal excitement. ‘We are sanguine, however, of @ reconciliation, though , it is xaid that Cutting insists his adversary shall take back all the accusations and insinuations against hin | (Cutting) in both the late speeches of Breckenridge. | Affairs in Washington. MORE ABOUT GEO. LAW'S OLD MUSKETS. ‘Wasmncrox, March 29, 1854. | The reiterated statement telegraphed from hore, assert- | ing that Geo. Law has sold his muskets, through the agency of George Sanders, to be used by Kossuth and the | revolutionists of Europe, isentirely fabulous. Mr. Reed, | George Sanders’ brother-in-law, who has been allnded to, | says he knows nothing of the matter. Independent of | this, however, we state upon amplo authority that the muskets which were recently shipped from New York in the Grapeshot, ostensibly for the West Indies, are not destined for any European country nor for the Wast In- dies. We are not permitted at this time to give more de. finite information; but you can depend upon the correct- nees of what we state, and inquiry of Mr. Law will verify it. COLONEL CLEMENS—THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE NEBRASKA QUESTION. The Union this morning contains a most ridienlous article, attempting to whitewash Colonel Clemens’ deve | lopements as to General Pierce’s assertion that he con: dered the Nebraska bill, to all intents and purposes, aa efficient in preventing the spread of slavery as the Wil- mot proviso. The article was written by some blunderer, who, in effect, admits Pierce’s treachery whilst attempt- ing his defence. THE INSANE LAND BILL. The Insane bill of Miss Dix has been entombed below the Senate Nebraska bill, by the House, to-day. THE NAVY—SCARCITY OF SEAMEN. It is considered probable the Six Frigates bill will not pass the House. It is known that we have now ten times as many vessels of war as seamen to supply them, and until some bill is introduced to render the personnel of the navy more efficient, there is a manifest indispo- sition on the part of o majority of the House to increase the number of vessels lying in ordinary at our navy yards. It is thought by some that the Vermont, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Independence, &c., should be com- missioned before new vessels are required. A provise could be inserted in the frigates’ bill authorizing the Secrctary of the Navy to fit out the vessels already in the navy, and give such additional pay as would secure sea- men to man them. This proviso might carry the bill; but without it, it stands no chance. POSTAL PROPOSITION FROM THE CANADIAN POST- MASTER-GENERAL, The Hon: Malcolm Camoron, Postmaster-General of Canada, is at present ip this city. It is understood he has suggested to Mr. Campbell the propriety of adopting the British practice of Post Office money orders, which in England and Canada has been found to work well. We are not advised of the result of his interview with the United States Postmaster-General. TRE GADSDEN TREATY. Mr. Mason was overruled to-day on the Gadsden treaty. Legislation is superseding it. This is considered as a positive indication of the weakness of the treaty, from the astonishing disclosures of the parties concocting it. Still, to secure Santa Anna’s friendship against the con- tingencics of a possible rupture with Spain, it may not be rejected immediately. TINRTY-THIRD CONGRESS, FIRST SESSION. Seriate: Wastixcrox, March 29, 1853. REPORT ON THE IMPROVEMENT OF WESTERN RIVERS AND ARBORS. ‘The Cuam laid before the Senate the report of the War Department of the expenditures under the last River and Harbor act for the improvement of Western Rivers and Harbors.

Sums, tom.) of Il, reported the House joint resolution, explanatory of the law regulating the ap- pointment of cadets to West Point. He explained that under the new apportionment of Cor asional districta, many districts wore left without cadets, This resolution declared these districts entitled to cadct appointments. Mr. Cass, (dem.) of Mich., said he was utterly opposed to increasing the number of cadets. Mr. Rusk, (dem.) of Texas, opposed the resolution. The districts might be changed every two years. The resolution was postponed. ‘THE VEVICTENCY BILL Was then taken up. The question pending was on the amendment requiring invalid pensioners to renew every two years the evidence of the discontinuance of the dis- ability for which they were allowed pensions;and provid- ing {Bat no perron holding any civil salaried fice under the United States, should be paid any pension. This was again debated till two o'clock. Mr. Masox, (dem.) of Va., then moved to postpone th bill for an Executive session.

They unite with the friends of bill in appro- bation of the object for which the lands would be ap- lied. and if the merits of the measure alono could de- imine the question they would recommend its passage, but they object on constitutional grounds.

He fur- ther insisted, the bill makes full and ample provision for tection of the Indians in these Territories, and in conclusion dwelt on the Missouri compromise, saying the South acquiesced in it, but never endorsed it as a com- Pact forever binding. Mr. Nontor, (whig) of Ill., reviewed the Nebraska bill, considering it's mass of verbiage and rubbish. He dis- cussed more especially the clause d the Missouri compromise inconsistent with the com 9 of 1850; contending that the latter does not, in a single line or feature, aifect in any degaee the Louisiana territory 80 far as Nebraska and Kansas are concerned, Non-inter- yention is letting things alone, not interforing with them; ard he said the doctrine of non-intervention was not established by those compromise measures, nor does the bill from tho Senate establish it.

Anew wharf is being erected at Acjputla, and another at La Union, for the accommodation of the shipping en- tering these ports. We have no news of importance from Honduras. At Tigre Island, the port on the Pacific, business was quite stagnant. At thia point, a sawmill is being erected by a company of foreigners, ‘and will be in active operation Poon. ‘The State of Nicaragua is exceedingly dull, and little business appears to be doing, except what is created by the transit of the California passengers. Realejo appear almost deserted, and looks in a most miserable state. For some time past the steamers of the Nicaragua Company have been coaling at the port about five miles dis‘ant from the village of Realejo. They are to be removed again to Selinas Bay in the course of this month, as the coal at Realejo will then be exhausted. The company does not appear tohave a stock of over fifteen tons of coal at their depots at present, including tw6 vea- sela just arrived.

The State generally is tranquil, although it is thonght seme trouble is about to arise with the Costa Rica govern- ment, regarding the settlement of the boundary line, the latter claiming Selinas Bay and the entire coast below.

Avery neat theatre has been recently erected at San Jove, and is under the management of Mr. Furnier, who is very successful in his performances. A splendid public hospital is being erected at San Jose, and nother at Punta Arenas. ‘Trade throughout the country is tolerably brisk, and the country generally ina very satisfactory position. Avery serious calamity occurred at San Jose on the night of the 26th February. ‘The coffee-mill of Mr. A. Joy, brother of Mr. R.A. Joy, of this city, through some some neglect, caught fire, and the entire establisiment, with about 760 casks of coffce was totally destroyed. The loss is entimaated at $80,000. The government of Costa Rica has ceded to Mr. Luis Bayer the privil of fishing for ey shells on th cific coast by submarine boats, for the sim of $12,000 annually. It has also granted to the same gentleman. the privilege of extracting cocoanut oil from the trees which exist on the free lands of the coast, for the sum of | $4,000 annually. ‘A very neat and well compiled periodical, entitled £1 Compilador, has been recently started in San Jose. It promises well. The Province of Chiriqui, in New Granada, continues to per under its Yankee Governor, and’ the city of David is rapidly increasing. There have recently been erected there several excel- | lent houses, much superior to those of older standing. Foreigners are beginning to settle in the province, and there is every promise of a rapid improvement through- | out. A very good hotel has been recently opened in Ba. | vid by a Frenchman, which adds much to improve the city.

While Mr. G. was inthe vicinity of San bey og ene Virago arrived there from Panama, whereupon he deter- mined to go in her to that city on her return trip. She arrived there with him on the 14th, having left there but four days before. After his safe transit, Mr. G. requested Captain Mar- sball to send a boating a ata to the river Couqnna- que, whither ho had tracked Licutenant Strain, and te continue the march as far as possible. Of course it was to be expected that Mr. G. would accompany this expe- dition, Eefore the return of,the Virago, however, Holiina visited Panama,, and instructed Lieut. Fauatle.. roy to form an expedition to go to San Miguel, and pene- trating into the interior make a thorough search for the lost party. After the return of Caj Hollins from Panama, Captain Marshall having returned in the Virege with Mr. Gisborne, as before stated, and induced Lieat. Fauntleroy to secure permission from Captain Hollins to abandon his expedition and join that he had planned for scouring the vicinity of both branches of the Oha- qunaque river, Captain Hollins despatched his com- sent, but before Lieut. Fauntleroy had received news reached peeve ahepo a eleven foreigners, sup} train’s party, destroyed by wild beasts. This news, the Indian said, had been communicated to his People by a Darien Indian.

Tho question of the probability of the acceptance of Russian letters of marque, by American vessels, in case FS a pi war, occupied the attention of the local journals. The Colonial Standard of the 13th inst., speaking of the progress of the cholera in Jamaica, aa; ‘We are happy in being able to state, that cholera not made any extensive progress in the work of death and desola- tion since its second appearance among us. In the gene- ral Penitentiary and public Hospitals, there have occurred several deaths, but the larger proportion of cases had yielded to prompt medical attention and treatment. ery few cares have occurred outside of the walls of these institutions, and within the last two or three dags we have heard of no new cases at all.
