PIERCE 18 CIRCUMEPROT ON KANSAS—MOVAMENTS OF DR. GWIN, ETC., ETC. Wasuuneron, Nov. 20, 1856. ‘They are beginning to stir the cauldron bere, and the ingredients will be in a delightful stew by the meeting of the two houses. For the House proper, you will have seen the cireular of the twelfth section Know Nothing». Its publication was premature, and hay stirred up « strong odor of disgust among the fasioniste. The Kaow Nothing Orgon here is very anxious to carry water on woth shoulders, and is decldedly in thyor of an amalg mation between the Know Nothings and Sewardites, provided the Organ, in the division of the spoils of the House, gets the printing, which is very doubtful in- deed. The chances are in favor of the old Intelligencer or the Globe. For Speaker, the Seward and Know Nothing fusion plan brings im Campbell, of Ohio, a Know Nothing and a free soller; and Cullom, of Tennessee, for Clerk, late a whig, but now a Southern Know Nothing, with conserva- tive inclinations. The democrats will most probably put up thelr former satis‘actory Speaker, Cobb, of Georgia, and stick to him to the last. The Organ says that Colo- nel Forney is going off to Pennsylvania to try his hand for the United States Senate, and that in the meantime the Union will make a dead set against the Sentinel for the Senate printing, which is very likely. Trather suspect, however, that Fort ey is in a transi- tion stat Between the democrats of this House and of the Pennsylvania Legislature, he will, I dare say, be left perfectly free to devote his energies entirely to the Union paper and the Kitchen Cabinet, which will be a good thing, considering the near approach of the Cincinnati Convention, and the vast amount of pipe-laying necossa- ry tosave the administration from being openly repu- diated by that respectable body of unsatisfied spoilam: ‘The President's message, 1 learn, is finished in the rough. In it, as Iam informed, Marcy will spread himself, Korsta fashion, on Central American affairs, Cramptou's enlistments, the law of 1818, the Cuba question, the Danish Sound dues, the Japan treaty and the affairs of Mexico. His great splurge will be in defence of Cushing on our neutrality duties; next he will amplify upon the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and the necessity for its complete abrogation; and for some action of Congress in reference to thy filibustering operations of Col. Walker, and the colonization scheme of Col. Kinuey, Captain Jo. White hasfbeen with Marcy, setting the Nicaragua Transit Com. pany rectus in curva, so that they will probably pass mus- ter. Very little satistaction will be given to anybody on the Cuba question, considering Mr. Dodge’s negotiations at Madrid, which are all nothing but so much leather and prunelle, On the Kansas question Mr, Pierce will ‘‘ walk light.’ He will probably do nothing more on this subject than repeat the old story of “conciliation,” ‘“ concession,” “the constitution,” “blood of our fathers,” “ prectous lngacy,’? “glorious destiny,” “ glorious Union,’? Ke , &er. working all the time, nevertheless, with Cushing an4 Jeff. Davis against marcy, and in bebalf of Whitfield ax the Kausas delegate, for # little Southern capital. Guthrie will be represented in the message again with his modifications of the tariff; and the Postmaster-Gene- ral, as a democratic move for Buncombe, will, I under- stand, recommend sweeping reductions of the annual subsidies to our ocean mail steamers. The great effort of the message will be to show how splendidly our a¢ministration bas managed our domestic and foreign affairs upon the small peace expenditure of some seventy odd millions & year, including ¢he Gadsten treaty, Dr. Gwin, of California. who has been here for sone days, returns by the next steamer to California, to look after the chances of stopping off the Senatorial election this session. Otherwise General Foote will come back to bother them all in his new character of a Know Nothing, This return home of Dr. Gwin's, at all events, shows that he does not intend to clain an election from the proceet- ings of the California Legi-lature last year, which would Lea very ridiculous experiment. a os a OUR AFFAIRS WITH GREAT BRITAIN—THE FRIGATE INDEVENDENCE—MR. DOBUIN'S REPORT. ‘Wasuisatoy, Nov. 20, 1855. You may rest assured that while the administration deem it politic to keep the public mind quiet, the most serious apprehensions are felt In regard to our present relations with England, We are on the very brink of war. It fs ascertained that the United Staten frigate Inde- pendence, now at Sau Franetito, is in a deplorable condi- tion. Much i feeling exists among her officers, while mutiny and wholesale desertion Ubisracteriar the eonduct of the crew. Secretary Dobbin is now Saboriourly engaged every evening in preparing his annual report, which will be looked for with great interest. E. FEEDLY HEALTH OF THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY— WHO WILL SUCCEED HIM? Waanrvoroy, Nov. 20, 1855, As Tintimated some time since that it would be ex- tremely doubtful whether the Secretary of the Navy would be able, owing to the delicate state of his health, to remain at the head of his Department, I learned to- day from # reliable source that it ix his intention to leave in a short time for his home in North Carolina; from here thence, if it is deemed expedient by hia physician, he will proceed further South—either to Florida or Cuba. He has completed bis annual report, which has caused bisa much trouble, owing to his feeble health, and will leave it, provided it becomes necessary, in the hands of the President. His resignation will take effect, 1 am inform ed, shortly after the meeting of Congress, Hix successor has not been named. - dD. THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE. Wasiixotox, Nov. 20, 1855, According to present determination, no eopies of the President’s message will be rent out for newspapers, as heretofore, in advance of ita delivery to Congress. Our Washington Correspondence. Wasimmatox, Nov. 10, 1856, TD What End ix England Concentrating a Powerful Pleet in the American Watery This question does not seem to be of difficult solution to any one who reflects that trade ix epening new chan- nels of incaleuisble extent across the American isthmus, and that the control of this highway is of equal import ance to England and the United States, Our people would be satisfied with the perfect neutrality of the isthaus routes, and their entire freedom to the general trade of the world, Hence our ready neq udescence in the Claytof Bulwer treaty. In that convention the two Powers mu tually guaranteed to protect construction and transit and to maintain the neutrality and independence of all the dst mus communications from Tehuantepec to Darien but this plon wast too moderate to sult Britivh ideas of commercial empire, While the Clayton-Balwer treaty was still im force—since neither party have proposed il« abrogation—England seized and colonized the Ruatan islands, equally in defiance of its obligations and of the sovereign rights of the State of Honduras, of w ritory she then took and still holds forcible and unjust pesresston The object of this sudden militery colonization waa the command of the new route across Honduras which squires Jost then brought before the public The route propored by Squires outlets in front of thore islands, and with them in possession a «trong goaritime power could open or close at will that gate oy cific to its own commerce.
