IMPORTANT OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCY FROM GREAT BRITAIN, SPAIN AND DENMARK. Wasuixaton, Dee. M4, 1855. We learn that despatches by the Baltic were received to-day at the State Department. They comprise com- munications frem our Ministers at London, Spain, and Denmark. Mr. Bucharan’s papers set forth a settled determinn- tion on the part of the British Minister, Lord Palmerston, to offer no further terms of explanation or conciliation than those already made known to the American govern- ment. His language to Mr. Buchanan t& that the Ame i- can government can expect nothing further through our exertions to get the redress demanded by diplomacy. This sentiment ix not intended to convey hostili'y on the part of Great Britain; but it applies as a fixed determina. tion not to make further apologies, thove already made being deemed all that the case called for, It would seem that Mr. Marcy and the President have agreed npon the one point—that in the event by the next arrival, which proved to be the Bultic, there should be no alteration in the British Minister’s course towards the United States upon the enbjest of ber demand, which was aentisfactory apology or the displacement of ker Minister, the subject should be referred to Congress for tmme- diate action. . The message un this point will not proba- bly undergo any nisterial ehenge. According to the de-patebes from Menmark, there has been a recession from the Sound Dues Convention, which meton the 9th ult., by the goveruments of England, France, Spain and some other Powers. Our more intel ligent peliticians think from this that the demands of the United States for the abrogation of this law, in her cane at least, will be complied with, leaving to European governments and those interested to follow our exam- ple, or to continue a submission to tmpositions of long standing and severity upon the commerce of the world. Tean learn nothing from Spain; but the positive in- structions sent within the pest few months by Marcy to Mr. Dedge, cur Minister at Madrid, to invite the atren- tien of the Spaniah government to our demands of long standing, particularly for peenniary redress for injuries sustained by American citizens, are probably replied to in his communication. Notwithstanding the repented assertions made by the Union of this city, that Spein had settled her dim- culties with the United States, it is now found that there is not a solitary case where redress has been. given, fur. ther than promires are concerned. It was the wish of the:President to hear onee more from Europe belore his mensage was placed before Congress; and it is probable from information which I have just received, that anxiety in expressed by bim for Congress to proceed at Chee to business, oOPr.g MR. RUCHANAN AND HIS SPRECHRS IN LONDON— GENERAL WHITFIELD AND THE TROUBLES IN KANSAB, Wasioron, Dec. 14, 1866, George N. Sanders, who was in England when Mr. Buchanan made the speeches which the London Time and Lraminer claim ax favoring the cause of the Allies, say® that there was nothing in the speeches or actions of Mr. Buchansn to warrant the assumption that Mr. B. was ® partizan of the Allies, nor yet # pro-Rassian, bke the Cabinet at Washington; but that It was a well under. stood fact among all Mr. Buchanan’s friends that his par- tialities and sympathies were entirely on the side of op- Premed pationalit e». General Whit6eld, upon hearing of the outbreak in Fansas, called upon the President, and asked him not to rend United States troops to Kaosss, or in anywise to inter‘ere with the locsl affairs of hia ferritory ; that the men of Kansas could main‘ain the Jaws, and would pre- serve order without the least sxistance from without, a. ‘THE ANTI-ADMINISTRATION CAUCUS A FAILURE— BANKS’ PROBPECTS DAMAGED. Wasurxcros, Deo. 14, 1855. ‘The anti-adm'nistration caucus met this evening in the hall of the Houre, Mr, Washburn, of Maine, in the chat: About ninety members were present. Speeches wore made by Ball, of Onio, Dunn, of Indiana, and Eddie, of Vensey'vania, in which they streauously urged thet the republicans should withdraw Banks, aud try Pennington first, and Fuller next, and see if am organization could not be effected This drew out quite » number of speeches from the Banka men, after which Kunkle, of Yennryivania, offered » resolution that the cauous whould be governed by the majority, and that whoever received the highest vote should stand as the caucus nomineo. After a number of amendments, none of whieh wore agreed to, Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, got the floor, and mady & flaming speech, im which he denounced the whole movement. The Banks mem undertook to prods a vote, which caused a goveral scattering of Fuller mea, to- gether with some republicans, who sald, as they loft the ball, that they, the Banks men, might go to h—l; that they bad made thelr last proposition. After several attempts to get members to vote, which were inofectual, speechifying commenced in good earnest, and was kept up for some time, after which the vole was taken. Banks reoeived fifty-eight votes, Fuller one, Pennington one, Campbell one, Banks will fall off consideraoly in his yote to-morrow. The excitement this evoaing is intense, dD. ‘THE SPEAKERSHIP—THE KNOW NOTHING TERMS OF ADJUSTMENT—QUAKRELS AMONG SENATORS, BTC. Waauixatox, Deo. 14, 1856. ‘The forty-one national Armericans now voting for Fuller hold the balance of power. Some of their waders say they are ready to vote with the democrats aud secure an organization if thedemoorata will act jastly—in other words, if they wil drop their nominee and unite with them on Col. Orr or some otber sound pational man. This will probably be the result of the contest. The Senatorial caucus this afrernoon, agived to nothing, Several Senators who are opposed to the Union £6 atill more opposed to the Sentinel. They also disagroo ng to the plat‘orm, The “constitution,” as interpreted by the democratic fathers, is claimed by several as being sufficient. The Senate purposely excluded Know Nothings and free scilera from all political committees. This is cpenly avowed. K CAUCUS OF THE OFPOSITION—NOTHING DONE. Wasttixcrox, Dec. 14, 1855. The anti-administration caucus, held to-night, was only tolerably well attended. Considerable debate on various propositions to reconctle conflicting views took place, but it is believed nothing was definitely arranged. OUR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. Waannato, Deo. 13, 1855, The Black Prince and his Disappointment—Speculatima on the Prospecis—Mr. Pennington’s Position—New Steam Frigate Roanoke. At one time the ‘news from the seat of war’? wholly monopolized publie attention. Then again Kansas—the Grimen of the West—was the contre of attraction; but now, I believe the congressional fight between the Know Nothings and black republicans overshadows everything else and commands the attention of the whole country. When the Black Prince of the lobby found be had calou- lated without his host, and that his deep lxid schemes were defeated, bis expressive features presented a vinant tableau the most ludicrous Lever beheld. He is literally used up, and expresses great disgust at his new profes. ston of lobbying. But what is to be done to secure an organization’ The contest thus far shonld satisty every one that a new Richmond must enter the lists—one that can unite enough of the opporition to the democracy to secure a majority vote, My views on this I gave last evening, and 1 still believs that Orr, of South Carolina, will be the speaker, although many of Banks’ friends swear they will stand by bim until the 4th of July next. Perhaps that would be the bart thing which could happen. Tho people could, in the meantime, arrange their P’residentia watters for the succession without the aid of Congress, Mr, Pernington, who is one of the aspirants for the spemhertbip, complains of having been mixrepresented in lation to his connection with the Camden and Amboy Railroad; and I find, upon inquiry, thas he has always occupied @ position antagonistic to that corporation, The free parsage over the road tendered him, was declin. od, ond be positively refused to become the counsel for the company. So, too, with the steam influence of New York. On more than one occasion has this influence in- vaded Mr. Vennington’s district, and «ught to defeat him. muca I am suthorized to ray ia order to place this gentieman and his friendy rectus in curia, It is au interesting fact that from the first organization of the government down to 1839, Congress never failed to elect @ Speaker and organize on the tirst day of ihe ses- sion, The disorganization tor three weoks in 1849 was the reavlt not of a contest for the Speakership, bus as to who shoold vote, The difficulty ended by « compromine on Hon, R, M. T. Teetin—comennly wtyled by Father Fitchie, Kun Mad Tom Honter—of Virginia. Again, in 1849, a contest tor the Speakership de'ayed an organiza lion, which was afterwards settled by @ compromise on Hon. Howell Cobb, ot Georgia. Now, for the third time in the history of our government, do we find Congress dleorganized, while a strife between contending fac.ioas for the Speakersbip arrests all buriness. ‘the new frigate Koanoke, which was to have been launched yex‘erday, at Nortolk, is the third of the new steamers Ordered by last Congress, and now ready tor the “deep blue sen.” ‘She carries forty guns, though pierced a for seventy.

Panke reached his zenith, and will find it quite impossible to go bigher than a hundred and #ix votes. A ly on Pennington bas been talked of for the past day or two, but the prospect is likely to be abandoned as pro- mising no favorable reenlt, Many of Banks’ men will not support him on any consideration. A “try back’? may be made on Campbell—though that is doubtfal. The prospect now fh that the free soflers will stick 10 Banks, at lent for a day or two. Meanwhile Cullom’s chances for Clerk are growing ‘‘mmpaller by degrees and beaut {fully less.’? Some of the rabid anties swear that they will not vote for him, ax, up to this time, he has failed to be of the slightest assistance in furthering their views as to the @peakership. Several imprudent remarks of Cullom’s in regard to Mr. Banka, have alvo had 9 tendency to damage his prospects. Ax a wequence of this falling off several new candidates have taken the field. ‘The contest for printer now begins to assume im- portant proportions.
