The News. ‘Lhe steamship Baltic, now iaher eleventh day out from Liverpool, had not been telegraphed at oné @’clock this morning. Notice has been given in the lower branch of the New Hampshire Legislature of an intention to introduce a personal liberty bill. We pre- sume it will be identical with the act nullifying t'e Fugitive Slave law passed by the Legislatura of Magsachusetts at ita last reasion. Mr. Charles H. Stanly, of the British Consulate in this city, was arrested yesterday by one of Marshal Hillyer’s deputies, and placed under one thousand dollars bords, to snawera charge of enlistisg re- @ruits for the Crimea. The ceremonies attending the dedication of St, Paul’s cathedral at Pitisburg, on the 24% inat., are described as having bsen highly imposing. Tue ex- @rcises commenced as early as five o’clock in the morning. Archbishop Haghes, of New York, wit fourteen bishops and thirty-five priests, participated im the occasion, and over five thousand paople were precent. Abovt 10 o’clock the doors of the Ca‘he- dial were opened, and the prosession of bishops, priests and boyz, numbering one hundred and fi’ty, entered and celebrated Pontifical High Mass. Tae bishops were clothed in magaificent costume. Arub- bishop Hughes was conducted to the pulpit by two of the clergy, and preached a sermon from Acts xx. 28. The services consumed the principal part of the day. In the evening Archbishop Kendrick preached, from Matthew xi. 7, a sermon deasriptive Of the virtues of St. John. The Lamps and Gas Committee of the Board of Conncilnen met yesterday for the consideration of the application of the Metropolitan Gas Company for leave to lay gas pipes through the streeis of the city. O? course, the other gas corporatioas opp sed the project; bat sot being prepared to show cause why, the subject was postponed until next Friday week. The Metropolitan Conpany expect to fur wich a better quality of gas ata cheaper rate than their rivals now supply to their customers, aleo to charge only for the gas actually consumed, and far thermore, t> transact basiness so as to give general satisfaction to the pubic. This, we take it, is the sort of gas company that the public have been wanting for many years past. Let us have good and cheap gas—let there be light. The German Ssengerfest closed yesterday with a grand picnic ia Eim Park, at which about fifteen thousand persons were present, including the vari- ous sccieties. A graphic and interesting report will be found in another colamn. The Almshouse Governors held an interesting meeting yesterday. They msde a complete change in the government of the various iastitutions, and did several other things of note, as will be sesn by our report eleewhere. Mr. Patterson, formerly janior editor and part proprietor of the Parkville Luminary, whose press was thrown into the river, some time sincs, by Mis~ sourian citizens, and the Rev. Frederick Starr, for- merly a Presbyterian m'‘ssionary in Platte couaty, Miseouri, spoke last evening before a very slim au- dience, in the Tabernacle. They related a good deal of their experience in that region of country. We give a repost elsewhere. By the schooner Maria Elizabeth, from Curacoa, we have received a letter from our correspondent there, dated Jane 10. Tae climate of Curacona is re- commended as peculiarly gratefal to invalids afflict- ed with incipient pulmonary disease. Salt gatheé ing had commenced st Bonsire, but the crop would not be so largeasuual. Our Consul at Caracoa was giving much satisfaction, and it was thought that the treaty lately concluded between the governmonts of Holland and the United States would remove all cause of future difficulty between our ropresenta- tives and the colonial authorities. In Venezuela, ‘tho Monogas dynasty was ina critical position, and likely to break down soon. General Paez, or such ‘another man, was wanted at the head of affairs. Additional papers from Bermuda state that a le gislative return exhibits very satisfactory evidence of the sound financial condition of the treasury. ‘The balance of cash in hand over and above the expenditure, for the year ending March 31, 1855, ‘was £1,137, The Bishop of Newfoundland had held @ visitation of the clergy of the Caarch of Eagland in the colony. Cotton was steady yesterday, with sales of about 1,000 @ 1,500 bales. Holders refused to make con cessions in favor of purchasers, and there was no change in prices from the closing quotations of last Baturday. Common grades of flour fell off 125 cents per bbi., while fancy and extra brands were steady. A small lot of Michigan white wheat soid at $2 50 ® $2 55. Rye was lower. Pork was firm, with freo ‘transactions, especially in new moss and prime. Io. dian corn was one to two cents per busdel lower, with large sales. Freights, ina general way, were dal}; 30,000 40,000 bushels of corn, im bags acd buik, were engaged for Liverpool, at 3)d. a 4}d., with emall lote of cotton at 5-164. 4. The failing off in the amount received for tolls on the New York canals since the opening of naviga- ticn this season, as compared with the receipts of last year, amounts to $125,081 25. ‘The liqnor dealers of Baffalo, at public mesting held on Sa‘ uyday iast, resolved to contiane tho pale of liquors atter the Fourth of July, as formerly, and contioue the business uutil the couta decide upinte constitutionality of the prob!bitory law. Trouble with .¥rance—Correspondence be- | Propssed Testimonial to Licutenant-Gener4! tween Count Walewek! and Mr. Mason. It seems that the despatches lately received from our Minister in France were not wholly confined to the circular note of Count Nes- selrode on the rights of neutrals. By re- ference to our telegraphic correspondence from Washington, it will be seen that the difficulty between our government and France, arising out of the arrest of Monsieur Dillon at San Francisco, is assuming rather a trouble- some character, having recently formed the subject of a lengthy correspondence between Mr. Mason, our Minister at Paris, and Count Waleweki, the French Minister of Foreign At- fairs. This correspondence has just been trans mitted by Mr. Mason to the department at Washington, and has led to some curious scenes in the Cabinet, The French government, it seems, still insists upon our rendering satis- faction for the arrest of Dillon, by our firing a salute of a hundred guas in honor of his flag. The President, with Jeff. Davis and some of the other fire-eating members of his administration, having an eye to the ad- vantages that may accrue to themselves per- sonally from raising, just at the present mo- ment, a little popu'ar excitement on the sub- ject, are for taking high ground, and refusing to make the concession demanded. Marcy, however, with his usual indolence of character and disposition to truckle t> foreiga govern- ments, is ready to fire any number of guas or waste any quantity of powder in order to rid himself of avy further trouble in the matter. As this question is likely to excite a good deal of discussion, it may be advisable briefiy to review the circumstances that have led to it. Itwill be recollected that when that dashing adventurer, the Count Raousset de Boulbon, meditated his expedition into Sonora for the purpose, in fact, of planting a French co- lony there, and thus establishing 2 foothold for Freneh interests in South America, he openly enlisted men in San Francisco for the military organization which was to form its basis, Ia this it is charged that he received, if not active aid, at least full countenance, from Monsieur Dillon, the Freach Consul at that port—Dillon himself, it is believed, acting either under the instigation or direct orders of the French Minister in Mexico. When prelimi- nary steps were taken by the authorities at San Francisco to put a stop to these unlawful pro- ceedings, it was found necessary to sumnon the French Consul before the tribunal charged with the investigation of the matter. Monsiear Dillon refused to attend, pleading that by the consular treaty existing between the two coan- tries, he was exempted from being calied as a witness before the American courts. Judge Hoffman, before whom the question of exemp- tion was argued, decided that the constitution allowed no such rights to any toreigaer, what- ever might be his functions, and issued a war- rant to compel the attendance of the Consul. Mr. Dillon was accordingly arrested and brought before the Judge; but persisting ia his refusal to give evidence, the matter was referred to the government at Washington for its decision. In the meanwhile Mr. Dillon struck his flag, and wrote home to France a statement of the facts. Mr. Marcy, upon a review of the circum- stances, decided that Judge Hoffman bid ex- ceeded his powers, and ordered the Consul to be set free. This did not, however, satisfy the French government, which demanded in addition that asalute should be fired in honor of his flag. Marcy, who has a turn for special pleading, took shelter behind the constitutional grounds which he had abandoned in his previous de- cision. The reply of the French goverament was that it had nothing to do with the American constitution—that a treaty existed between the two countries, which protected the persons of French agents from arrest, and that it had a right to demand redress for the violation of the conditions of that treaty. In this position the question has remained up to the present time, The French government still insists upon its original demand, and the object of the corres- pondence between Count Walewski and Mr. Mason is to bring the matter to some immediate decision. The divers views which are entertained on the subject in our Cabinet will probably still further postpone its settlement. The personal interests which are mixed up with the question, although they may delay, will not, however, prevent a tame submission to the demands of France. Marcy, as we have before stated, has already made up his mind on the question; he will cave in. He now rests his opinion in favor of the concession, it seems, on the precedent established in the case of the Spanish Consul at New Orleans, when his house was sacked by a mob after the slaughter at Atares. Ia that in- stance, orders were given by Mr. Webster that the Consul’s flag should be saluted when re- hoisted. There were many who were of opinion that such a measure of reparation was uncalled for by the circumstances There are more who will think, in the present instance, that an honor paid to a foreign fanctionary who is known to have been an accomplice in a gross infraction of our laws, is a humiliation and abasement to our national dignity. In whatever aspect, however, this question may be viewed, it presents in a pitiable light the influences by which our Cabinet is gov- erned in the decision of difficulties growing out of our relations with foreign Powers. Ia bombarding Greytown or blockading the steamer United States they are full of plack; bat when they have a nation like France to contend with, they give up at once, and make all the concessions required of them. The interests and the honor of the country seem, in fact, to form but secondary considerations in their eyes. The lust of power and the temp- tations of official corruption are impulses too strong for their patriotism to resist. Whilst men actuated by such motives hold the reins of government, we must expect to see sacrificed by piecemeal that proud position amongst na- tions which it cost our forefathers such pains to build up. TWEEDLEDUM AND TWEEDLEDEE.—In spite of our public laws and the officers of the govern- ment, one after another we hear of vessels sailing from our shores for Nova Scotia with recruits for the Allies in the Crimea. On the other hand, the vigilance of the administration in suppressing Kinney expeditions to Nicara- gua, and liberating enterprises to Cuba, com- mands the active energies of all the legal and naval forces cf the United States. Why is this? Does Marcy sympathize with the Allies against Russia, and in favor of the Africaniza tion ef Cuba, or how? It is very evicent there is some free soil crotchet in his head in refer- ence to the chances of the next Democratic National Convention. Let the Russian Minister call at the State Department for an explana- tien, Scott. We copy elsewhere an srticle from the Cou- rier and Enquirer, on the subject of General Scott. Its drift is to bespeak for she veteran tome solid testimonial of the public gratitude for his eminent eervices. The argument is that General Scott has done more for this country than any living man ; that he has extended her frontiers, defended her soil, preserved peace within her borders ; and that the reward he has received for all this is poverty and neglect. Hence, the Courier conceives, it would be fit- ting—nay, it is aduty for the people of the United States to ‘make some demonstration in order to vindicate themselves from the odious charge of ingratitude and insensibility to great actions;”’ in plainer words, to raise by subscrip- tion such # sum as will place the old hero at his ease, release him from the pressure of pecu niary need, and enable him to spend the re- mainder of his life in style suited to his rank’ and fame, We concur most heartily in the idea. We think it shameful that the greatest American General of the present century should in his old age actually see his happiness dis- turbed by paltry cares about money. We know ot nothing ¢o disgraceful to the American people a8 that they should use this glorious old man in their need, send him abroad to fight their battles, send him bere to quell civil strife and there to avert foreign wars—and when all is over, the danger past, and the country strengthened and increased by his valor, that they should turn their backs on him, and think they have done their duty by paying him the pitiful emoluments of his rank. And we are much mistaken if future eavillers do not make large use of the fact to prove the gradual demoralization of public sentiment ia the United States of America. Abroad of course such a thing could not take place. The first impulse of a British public is to give lands and rentrolls and titles to him who fights the Queen’s battles; Marl borough, Clive, Nelson, Collingwood, Welling- tov, Moore, and almost every other great British General have been amply repaid for their toils and their dangers; where Parliament has not voted lands, the Queen has given offices with fat salaries. The great French Generals of the century have been better rewarded than apy other claes of celebrities in France. It is s0 of course in Russia; and we kuow that in Prussia and Austria, military prowess is al- most the only road to favor at court and the aivantages of rank and wealth which follow, None of these nations grudge their great ‘sol- diers their proper meed of honor; they glorify them as loudly as we do ours; but the differ- fee between us is that their gratitude does jot stop there; after the fireworks and the shouts and the triumphal processions, they give gold and Jands where we are satisfied with giving newspaper panegyrics. Some one may say: What have we todo with foreign nations? Our plan is not theirs, and their rules of conduct cannot apply to us. Very true. Republics and monarchies cannot properly be compared. Athens, we kaow, starved her best men, and Plutarch traces her ruin to that cause. Rome neglected her gene- tals and philosophers to pay honor to mere Possessors of wealth, and hence, Augustus found her conquest easy. We seem to be fol- lowing the example with siagolar fidelity. God knows our best men may starve for aught the public knows or cares, aud poor old Gen. Scott, laden with glory, is chased to the grave by duns. Some time ago, a British captain, under-eie- cumstances of no ordinary peril, rescked from shipwreck several American citizens. We made a god of him. We dined him and gave him balls; he met the Mayor, the Common Council, the Chamber of Commerce, and all sorts of other public ‘bodies; we gave him testimonials and presents; the crowd cheered him, and every man pressed forward to squeeze his hand; and, wha; was betier than all, we gave him money enough to quit the sea, and live quietly, if he choose, on the interest of his capital. Now, how trifling the service of Captain Creighton— richly as it deserved the reward he got—incom parison with the deeds of Winfield Scott! Forty-two years ago, when most of those who read these lines were unborn or in the cradle, he was winning the battles which saved ‘the northern frontier, and leading that glo- tious charge on the banks of the Niagara which, in everything but its splendid result, may fairly be likened to the late charge of the Britirh Light Cavalry at Baloklava. Had it not been for Winfield Scott, Michigan might then have passed into the hands of the enemy and remained British to the present day. To pass over his memorable services in the Indian wars, we find him again serving his countiy quite as usefully in averting a threatened war. Those who have been close readers of history are quite aware that nothing but the exquisite tact, firmness and skill of General Scott pre- vented this great calamity. Again we find him at the first call of danger, leading the United States armies into the fields of Mexico; doing battle as rudely with a paltry igaorant jealous administration as with the foe; com- batting disease as boldly as cannon balls; march. ing straight forward, from battle field to battle field, from fort to fort, from citadel to citadel; and closing the war in less time, at less ex- pense, and with less loss than any war of rimi- Jar proportions in modern or ancient times. It were feeble to add to these his large services in organizing the army; in bringiag the vari- ous educational departments of the service to perfection; in placing West Point on its present admirable footing, The only thing wanting, indeed, for the completeness of his historical character was the defeat of 1852. Had he died before running for President, or had he never accepted the nomination, we might have wept the soldier, the statesman, the man equally great in peace and in war; but we should not have had the pleasant memory of the Christian gentleman, nobly resigned to seeming neglect, and frankly submitting to whatever affront Providence and his countrymen might have in store for him. To come to the point. We have obtained with great difficulty from Congress the rank of Lieutenant-General for our,hero; but, as our readers are aware, the democratic Secretary of War and the democratic Attorney-General have contrived, on some quibble or other, to cheat the old man out of his arrears of pay. We second the ideazof the Courier, and pro- pose that the people take the matter ont of the bonds of Congress and the administration—that they raise by subscription half a million or more of dollare, (Cobden, for carrying a single measure of domestic eeonomy, got $400,000 from the Englisb,) and give it to General Scott. A bucdied thousyud dollars might be laid wut | disputed right to pass uj its local insti ft . Frosch ube the consti at once in a house in this city where the Gene- tal might entertain suitably to his rank. The balance would enable him to send the re- mainder of his life in ease and co:afort, and to leave something to his children. There should be no limit to the subscriptions. | Each man shou’d give in proportion to his gratitude to the man who secured the northern frontier and acquired California ; and to his adm'‘ration for the character and genius of Winfield Scott. For our part, when we remem- ber what he has done, and how much the coun- try owes him, we feel that nothing less than a thousand dollars would adequately testify our gratitude and admiration; aud any who take up the matter may put down our name for one thousand dollars accordingly. Now, good peo- ple, how much are you grateful for? How much do you admire General Scott? Tae Harp Sart Meerine To-Nicat.—A large number of great guns have heen invited to the hard ehell glorification to-night, at the Metropolitan theatre—Mr. Wise and Senator Hunter, of Va., among others. But we under- stand that neither Wise nor Hanter will be forthcoming, and most probably nine-tenths of the other distinguished invited guests will be missing. The fact is, nobody knows that any of the stars expected will shine upon this occasion. The hardg, as well as the softs, are under a cloud. The former are something less than a respect- able faction--they are reduced to a corporal’s guard of would-be leaders, the rank and file having gone over, almost en masse, to the Know Nothings, in the last November election, It was a great piece of folly for the hards to get up this meeting without the conzent and co-operation of Captain Rynders. He is the rightful leader of the New York de- mocracy under the new Virginia dispensation of Henry A. Wise. We are sorry for the hards. We fear that their meeting to-night will be a fizzle; but we shall see. Will Mesars. Cutting, Brady, O’Conor, Cooley and others be good enough to come forward? They may be wanted to fill up the chinks. Tue Kiyney Expepirios—Two Staines To THE Bow.— We adverted lately to the fact that the redoubtable Col. Walker, from the defunct republic of Lower California and Sonora, had sailed from San Francisco with an armed force of some fifty odd men for the invasion of Nica- ragua, on the Pacific side, while Col. Kinney was to make his Anglo-Saxon raid from the Atlantic side, and that they were to meetin the middle of that country, and turn it over by acoup d’état to North American enterprise, under a progressive, go ahead Yankee govern- ment, This view of the subject has been sub- sequently confirmed by the published letter of Col. Kinney to Col. Walker, inviting him to the perils and profits of this grand Nicaragua scheme. Curious and startling results may be soon ex- pected. Col. Walker bas doubtless gone into this new promised land with his fifty men, on the Pacific side, in search of Ool. Kinney. The latter, however, detained here by government lawsuits and blockades, was seriously belated in getting off; and having at length slipped through the fingers of the administration, it is feared that he will reach Nicaragua, on the Atlantic side, in a worse condition than Walker on the Pacific: A junction of their forces, under such drawbacks, appears to be out of the ques- tion. There is real danger that both parties may fall victims to their temerity, and that this Nicaragua scheme may end as fatally to its leaders as the last Cuban expedition of |. ‘Lopez. We shall await the news of the recep- tion of Col. Walker and Col. Kinney in Nica- Tagua, therefore, with anxious solicitude. Mr. Forp, or Onto, AT THE PHILADELPHIA Kyow Nornine Counci.—A Boavs Srerca.— The Seward organs are publishing what pur- ports to be “a correct report of the speech which Capt. Ford, of Ohio, delivered at the Philadelphia Know Nothing Convention” As far as the report is concerned, it would do cre- dit in their peculiar line of intense run-mad av- olitionism, to Lloyd Garrizon or Theodore Par- ker. But we undertake to say that this report- ed speech is a bogus affair—zhat no such speech was delivered in the Philadelphia Council, and that somebody has thus been making a catspaw of Captain Ford, with or without his knowledge and consent. After the adjournment of the Philadelphia Council, Captain Ford came over here to New York, and very distinctly declared his party still to be the Know Nothings. Ali he wanted was a little proviso to help on the cause in the free soil districts of Ohio. Wha’ esys Captain Ford? Has he consented to this report of his Philadelphia speech, or has some designing tool of Seward palmed it off upon him at a venture? Tue Aupany Sort Sueuts anp Mr. Dickty- son.—The democratic soft shells up at Albany are very much concerned in relation to the question whether Daniel 8. Dickinson has or has not gone over to the Know Nothings. The soits may make themselves easy upon the subject. Whatever may come to pass, they will probably not be troubled with the com- pany, hereafter, of either Mr. Dickinson or the harde. We presume that he is no more a Know Nothing than Gen. Cass; but it is very natural that, looking to the peace of the coun- iry, both there old conservatives should prefer the “Live Ovk” platform of the Know Nothings, to the shattered and leaky free soil hulk of the Pierce democracy. Let the Albany soft shells prepare for the worst. Toe New Evoctayp Kyow Noratwas—A Movement IN THE Ricut Direction.—The con- servativer, or Union men, among the Know No- things of Boston and its neighborhood, have abandoned the Seward coalition principles and projects of Senator Wilsom & Co., and have fallen back upon a good stiff national platform, in which we find the following sticks of solid “live oak” timber:— IIL—he maintenance of the Union of these United States as the paramount political good; or, to use the Japguage of Washington, “the primary object of patri- otic derire,”’ and opporition to all attempts to weaken or subvert it.

A large meeting wee held Fitth street, Market space, to-dey, forthe purpoe of msking arrangements to celebrate the Fourth of July without distinction of party, sect, or nativity, platform I is diffasing itself. With such Jeaven at work already in Massachusetts, there will surely be found evough elsewhere in the North to “leaven the whole lump.”” No doubt the anti-slavery intractables, demagogues and fanatics will be sloughed off; but the camp will be thereby purified, and a soucd and healthy, powerful and homogeneous national party will be the result. Tbe leaven is work- ing, and the bread will be ready for baking by the time the oven is hot. Keep up the fire! Kronen Caninet Arkancements.—A short time ago the Concord Patriot. Mr. Pierce’s Strike.

Greene nominates Mr. Pierce as the proper democratic candidate for 1856. Well, if tne remains of the Pierce democracy can re-elect their man, we promise Col. Greene and the Kitchen Cabi- net that he shall go to England. A bargain’s a bargain. CiercyMen Avon THE Loarers.—Weshould think that the preaching of the Gospel is very much overdone, or that religion has fallen be- Jow par, from the numbers of clergymen that are dropping in among the orators at our po- Tirical meetings, especially in the discussion of the virtues of @ liquor prohibition, and cold water upon compulsion. Why don’t these rev- erend gentlemen join the Carson League at once, and share some of the profits of its spies and informers? According to the decree of Mayor Wood, there will be plenty of work for them all. Bataam’s Ass Orentne His Movra.—Tahurlow Weed, for the first time, and probably the last, has declared that George Law ie a candidate for the Presidency ; but that he is only the Hindoo candidate.

Wasurnatox, June 26, 1855. ‘The St. Domingo Intrigue—What the Administration Did —The New Movement in Regard to Quba— Meetings and Conferences, dc, Lc. The American public are but opening upon the his- tory, home and foreign, of this administration. The developements thus far presented, of our policy with the whole of Europe, aed the South American governments, most fall in importance when the whole truth shall be made public. History wi'l have furnished uo parallel to the imbecility and studied corruption of the Pierce administration. You wiil have the plain tale from foulé, in which will be opened to our senses the thrice: refused possession of Caba by the double dealings of Marcy and Pierce. You will find further, that we are indebted to French and English interference for the humiliating position whi:h as a nation we now present. Leaving the Spanich mission and Mr. Soulé for the Sandwich Islands, the open threat of @ British consul is found sufficient to defeat a treaty entered upon and signed with every intention of its fulfilment. And what says Genl, Pierce? Whereis his Inaugural? St. Domingo presents itsel!; Jarge advantages are offered to the United States. In accordance with ite wishes, ‘wo send a Minister to the republic, forma treaty, but the same influence that governs Spain ana the Sand- wich Islands is more prominently shown here. Some of the particulars I gave in « previous letter; bat the whole has not been told, and to keep back the trath is injustice to your readers and to history. I have seen a copy of a letter written by General Pierce, and addressed to Mr. Buchanan, at London, ia which he requests that Lord Aberdeen shall be assured that the,United States desires nothing of the D. ican. republic that is likely to interfere with British inter- ents or policy. This letter was received about the time that our treaty was presented by Gea. Cazeneau, aad in- structions were immediately transmitted by both the English and French goverpments to their representa- tives at St. Domingo, to oppose, with caution, the for- mation of any treaty with the United States England and France would have never dared their interposition im this just and ben¢ficial agreement, had not ensou- Tagement been snt from Washington by the head of this government, and the British ambassador, the confi- dential friend of Marcy, our Secretary of State. A fur- ther insight into this “ friencly feeling’’ of England and France can be adduced,land may haveits interest.

BY MAGNETIC AND PRINTING TELEGRAPHS, Interesting from Washington, OUR RELATIONS WITH FRANOE—THE DILLON CASE— WILL THE ADMINISIRATION BaCK DOWN ?—NEW ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF SATE. Wasnincton, Jane 26, 1855. Since my communication of yesterday I have been enabled to obtain some more specific information regard- ing the purport of Mr. Mason’s last despatches to the government, It appears that the diplomatic correspon- éence which ha: taken place between our Minister at Paris and Count Walewski, bas relation principally to the unsettled difficulty existing between this country and France in connection with the arrest of M. Dillon, the French Consul at San Francisco, Count Walewaki; it seems, still insists upon the orginal redress demand- ed by his government— that of our saluting with a salvo of one hundred guns the Consul’s fing. fhe President, General Davis, and some other members of the adminis- tration, are opposed to this concession baing made, but Marcy is in favor of it. He quotes in support of his opinion the precedent established in the inatanze of the Spanish Consul at New Orleans, altnough I confess I capnotsee much analogy between the two cases. Some warm discussions and altercations have taien place in the Cabinet on the subject; but if Marcy remains firm General Pierce will, as usual beat a retreat. It wil! be shameful if, in the case of # person like Dillom, who, it is alleged, connived at, if he did not directly assist in, ® violation of our la @ government should consent to make a concession which will be taken as an acknowl- edgment of his innocence Tam informed that successor to Dudley Mann in the State department has at last been found.
