The intelligence is rather important. The amended Dallas-Claren- don treaty is made the subject of editorial comment in the London Post, Lord Palmerston’s organ. The alterations msde by the United States Seuate are re- garded as high'y important, even vitally so, and are looked upon as a fresh concession made to the | slave power by our government; but the writer | Dominicana for # period of two years, commencing on tke 14th «f Febru:ry last.

A proslavery Conven- tion, to nominate a candidate for delegate to Con- gress, is to be held on the 2d of July. The free State men resolutely refused to place their names upon the census lists, leaving to their opponents the pln work of preparing the State constitation.

The address alluded to is mainly made up of a recapitulation of the moat telling incidents of border ruffian outrages. Meantime, a large emigration of Southern men with their slaves is going on. We understand that Charles Carpentier, the prin- cipal defendant in the case of the alleged fi on the Northern Railroad of France, and who, in the course of the application for bis extradition, sud. @enly pleaded guilty, leaves New York this day in the steamer Fulton, accompanied by Mr Louis DeAngelis, one of the United States Marshal’s depu" ties, What disposition the French authorities will make of him, after his submission, remains to be seen. ‘The argument before Judge Peabody, on the ap- plication of the New Police Commissioners to dis- solye the absolute injunction heretofore issued against them by Judge Roosevelt, on the quo war- ranto proceedings taken by the Attorney General of the Btate, was closed ycaterday. The decision will probably be rendered on Monday or Tuesday, In the mandemus suit brought against City Judge Russell, to compel him to act as Commissioner under the Police law of 1853, a hearing was had at special term before Judge Roosevelt, Counsel for the new Commissioners protested against the proceedings, on the ground of collusion be- tween the parties, but the Judge decided that he was not at liberty to assume eol- lusion in a case where the Attorney Gene ral of the State, representing the people, was on one side, and s Judge of one of the priacipal courts of the city on the other. At the suggestion of Mr. O’Conor judgment was entered pro forma for the defendant, so that the matter might be brought up on appeal before the general term of the Sapreme Court on Monday, where probably a similar pro forma judgment will be entered, so as to pring the whole matter before the Court of Ap- yeals in June. To meet a possible legal objection a | new writ of mandamus was issued against Judge | Russell, retarnabie at general term on Monday. | An injunction has been granted by Judge Birds- | eye, of Brooklyn, to prevent the expenditure of | funds by the authorities of New York in contesting the validity of the recent acts of the Legislatare.

For cither result some of the new provisions seem pecullarly adapted. The system of having bat one legislative body, and that one supreme in the State, is well agapted to give an irresponsible rule to some factions and wordy demagogue whoee strong will eball rule it with unlimited sway. To this result another of its provi- sions also tends No deputy can now be elected who does not reside in the district he is eent torepresent, This rule, which is copied from ua, and which carries into our Congress no small number of brawny men, excellent at swing- ing an axe on our western frontier, but poor choppers of logic, will have a still more detri- or mixed races, and where many districts having the required number for representation have barely a white man in them, it will bring the Az- teca to the halls of legislation and give a prepon- derance to the native racea,) We may yet see a new Montezuma enthroned there, or it may be that the people will tire of the rule of misrule, and adopt the axiom of Santa Anna: that these congresees and congresifos have been the ruin of the nation, and must be swept away. ‘The Pending Struggle for Munictpal Liberty. ‘The contest now pending between the police and municipal authorities of the city and the nominees of the Legislature at Albany for the appointment and control of the police is, in one point of view, the most remarkable and most mo- mentous political struggle that has occurred in this country since the Revolution. For the issue is not whether Mr. Draper or Fernando Wood shall appoint the police; itis whether this city shall or chall not continue to be a self-governing independent community. Free municipal gov- ernment isin the scale; if the Mayor and municipal authorities win the day, it will be preserved; but if the appointees of the late Legislature succeed in foisting themselves upon the community in their official capacity, then free municipal gov- ernment will be at an end in New York. It is, we repeat, a novel, as well as a remark- able contest. From the time of the Revolution to the present, no euch nefariousattempt on the part of majorities to trample upon minorities, no such endeavor on the part of a State to crush out free local franchises, has ever been made in this coun- try. In the heat of our hottest political strifes, the successful party has always had decency enough to respect those of its rival's rights which | were inherent essences of republican institutions, | On several occasions, collisions have occurred between the federal government and the States ; | they have uniformly terminated in the victory of the latter.

The Battle of the Commodores tn Nicaragua —Progress of Americanization, ‘The advices from Nicaragua show that the battle between the Commodores is still raging there, although present indications seem to show that Vanderbilt will beat Law for the mas- tery of that portion of Central America, An attentive perusal of the papers and letters re- ccived lately from there shows some curious things, A new paper has been started at San José, the capital of Costa Rica, and another at Granada, the old capital of Nicaragua, and both of them are printed in English and Spanish. One language has become insufficient for the new order of things there. We notice, too, in the reports from the scene of war, that the names of many of the most active men in the stir ring scenes there ‘being enacted have a familiar Saxon sound, while the local press is filled with praises of their deeds, and reflections on the inaction of the native allies, Eyen the valor of the filibusters is the theme of their con- stant remark and wonder, ‘These are the sure signs of the rapid Ameri- canization of Costa Rica and Nicaragua. It lit- tle maters who wins, Vanderbilt or Law, Spen- cer or Walker—the result is the same, and those two States will follow their manifest destiny. Another curious fact is the bitter tone in which the Zelegrafo, the new paper started in Granada, denounces the clergy of that republic for their indifference and apathy in the present struggle against Walker. It threatens the church with the ire of the nation after the filibuster shall have been disposed of; but to our view this really indicates how little popular eympathy is enlisted in the war. This-is further borne out by the public announcement of the great difficulty experienced in Costa Rica in getting natives to fill up the thinned ranks of General Mora’s army, while the Bolein Oficial cannot re- frain from expressing ita surprise that the desert- ers from Walker, after resting a short while, were quite ready for another campaign, even in the Costa Rican ranks. We are told, in fact, that the most effective troops posseesed by the allies be- fore Rivas are thoee where foreigners are largely mixed up with the natives. This was the great truth that Clive saw in India with the eepoys, and which Walker has ignored in his Indian empire. Costa Rica is taking one step now, however, that will coon bring her into trouble. She is ab- sorbing the greater portion, if not the whole, of Nicaragua by open annexation. Not only are the signs of resistance to this step visible already there, but ehe must encounter from it difficulties with other Powers. We, as well as many other nations, recognize the exist- ence of Nicaragua, and have treaties with her. One of these guaranties to her the sovereignty, and to us the neutrality, of her inter-oceanic route, This has now been closed for some time to the world by intestine war. It was the daty of the contracting partics to prevent this, and our government may soon be called upon by the force of necessity to open it. Should the present difficulties with New Granada result in any trou- bles on the Isthmus of Panama, we shall have no resource but to open the Nicaragua route at once. In the meantime Vanderbilt and Law may eettle their difficulties, or at all events tell us which is going to control the Americanization of . —We perceive, from our Western exchanges, that the | National Council of the American party will as- semble in Louisville, Kentucky, on Tuesday, the 2d of June, and we give them the benefit of ‘this advertisement in our columns out of pure charity.

Wasmivaron, May 1, 1857. ‘The Cabinet were in session a short time to-day, and Kad under consideration, among other things, the intelligence which arrived yesterday from Minister Bowlin at New Granada, He has communicated some matiers to our government in, reference to the resources, &c., of Haat government, which are highly important. ‘The administra- tion will await the next intelligence from that country be- fore they take any definite action, a3 Minister Bowlin expresses the bope that something may be accomplished under the new administration. ‘The matter that excites the most interest here just now is the Carmick and Ramsey claim, It involves, as you are aware, nearly half a million of dollars. A tremendous pressure is being made by those interested in the case to get the President te-intercede in behalf ef the above parti¢s, and it has Yeon stated that the I’resident contemplates overruling the opinion of Judge Black, wiich you published; bet 1 am credibly informed this evening that the President has no such idea, but is of opinion that the Comptrolier, under the law, had jurisdiction in ¢his case, ‘This is a slap at Judge Bikeck, as well as at Cost!

It grew out of the ignorant, bung- ling and stupid conduct of Postmaster General Campbell, of the Pierce régime. It was taken from him and carried before Congress. It was referred by that body tothe Comptroller of the Treasury, and was exclusively before him for decision. It did not belong to Postmaster General Brown, nor to Attorney General Black. and their action in the case was not only gratuitous and presumptuous, but is @snap judgment on the Comptrolier, with whom (hey bad no right to interfere. It is no’ unlikely that in this case, as in that of Secretary Toucey, itis the result of the Secretaries depending for fucts and advice upon subordinates in their departments, who are legacies from the Pierce administration. A good deal of dissatisfaction exists in consequence of the demands Maine is making, through Mr. Clifford, for federal offices. Mr. Clifford’s personal relations with Mr. Buchanan are of the most intimate character, and hence the expectations of the Maine office seekers. As Maine was the first State which led off for Fremont, the demo- cracy in other States are indignant at Mr. Clifford’s pre- tensions. The Postmaster General will shortly visa New York to investigate the several propositions for a site for the Post Office. ‘The foreign appointments are under consideration now; bat it is given out that they will not be taken up for some time, 60 a8 to aveid the importnuities of upplicants. As Mr. Buchanan has determined to replace all the foreign appointments at the expiration of their four years service, the labor of making selections is somewhat arduous. Something of a concerted vigorous effort is being made to oust John McLeod Murphy, Esq., from the position of engincer at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Capt. McCiuney, one of the mest gentlemanly, amiable and accomplished officers of the navy, stated to me, that in his judgment, no more capable and worthy man than Mr. Murphy could be found for the place. While he was in the navy as passed midshipman, be published a ‘valuable scientiée work, evinging much knowledge and ekill.
