CAZENEAU'S MISBION TO DOMINIOAs WaskixGtos, Oct. 4, 1854 Notwithstanding the efforts of the British Colonial Agents now here—Mr, Drummond from Cansia, and Me. Pezley from New Brunswick—it is believed that the President will decline taking the responsirility of direct- ing the Reciprocity Tresty to go into effect till the ac- tion of all the Provinces (except that of Yewfound- land) is had. Tho truth is, the treaty was rashed through in such haste as not to have beon properly aa. derstood, even by Marcy; and hunce the bluoder he mado in getting the Presiden: io issue a prociamation deolar- ing it the Iaw of the land, utterly igroraat of ita provi sicre, which prevents such.a consummation till after the Pr vincial Parliaments ba7e sat in council upon it.

Cushing has ail the ‘rains of the Cabinet, and if he had any nerve he would bean able man, apart trom his poll:ical dis- honesty As it is, he alone saves the armialatration from the sweoping charge of ut:er incompetency, even ia their ‘mere routine dutics. Ts it pot a litle fanny now to witness the impatience of the Conadians to have the Rectprocity Treaty go imme diately i: to operation, avd remember their proteaded urcencern ubeut it before it passed ? The treaty is perfectly pain, that until the several Provincial Legislature shul\ acquiesce in it, it shall not go into effect. If the Canadians ani New Branawickers do rot desire to be consitered as stupid as the Cabinet &t Washington they will leave their attempts to put a diffrent tranelation upon langage so very plain and explicit. the defence of Mr Soulé by the o is aphill work ‘The President is begic ning to open bis eyes to the uadt ners ot his Minister to ‘pain, and itis only doing Mr. Marcy justice to say that he was from the first opposed to the appointment.
