The extra Bersion of the Senate, it is thought, witl not last longer ‘than to-morrow. It is understood there will be a deficiency in the Post Office Department by the 30th ef Juno, of three millions. An absurd ramor prevails that the Arniy Dill was not signed by the President. Ho has signed it. A great effort bas been made at the close of the session, to have an unexpected balance of $71,500, remaining of the appropriation to deepen the bar at the mouth of the Mississippi, applied, by the direct action of the Seerctary of War, to tha parpose. The plan of the contractors bas failed, and there are itty shipa detained at the Balize gome of which bave been there since Decumber. A dele gation has been sent by the morchapts and authorities of New Orleans to urge for relief, and they have boon jotued eve by one from the New York Underwriters.

No now routes can be opened nor new contracts made for conveyance of mails over existing routes, The Department will at once make up a statement of its position in all this matter, and every effort will be made to save the great working routes from embarrassment.

When a Minister is appointed he wile a man whom the country can rely upon ag capable of tilling the important trust. Nothing will be detormined as regards Mexico until further ad- vicez are reosived from there. Several names are before the President for the appointment—among them Senator Benjamin; Thoodore Sedgwick, of New York; Robert Mo- Lane, of Maryland; Gov. Price, of New Jersay, and Caleb Cushing.

He denied the right of (he Senate to ineert a clause of this kind in an ap- propriation bill. They were prohibited from so doing by that clause of the constitution which limited the origina- on of revenue bills to the House of Representatives, Mr. Jones, of Tenn, , contended that the amendment only provided for the exchanging of new Treasury notes for old ones.

The Treaty with New Granada—The Cass- Yrisarxt =Treaty—Modifications in th French Extradition Treaty=—New Conven- tions and Commercial Regulations with China, &e., &e. Several treaties with foreign nations of great impor tance to the corhmercial interesta of the country have been framed, and require the action of the new Senate. Among them the treaty with Nicaragua, relative to our inter- oceanic communication with the Pacific, ond the treaty with New Granada concerning tho claims of American citizens against that government. Au amended extradition treaty with France, assimilating it with that now existing between us and Engiand, and two treaties with China, regulating our commerce with that Empire, and adjusting the claims of American citizens against the Celestial Em- pire, were confirmed 44 the Senate towards the close of the recent session, Te probable that the Case-Herran treaty will be ratified before the Senate adjourns its extra executive session. We give below a summary of each, presenting the leading points in these interesting and important documents :— MODIFICATION OF THE FRENCH EXTRADITION TREATY Tho extradition treaty previously existing botweon this country and France, differed somewhat in its stringency from the treaty with England, The Secretary of State exchanged ratifications with Count Sartiges on Saturday, the 12th inst., of @ number of amendments, so ag to make it conform with our extradition treaty with Eng- land. Both treaties are now, therefore, the same. ‘The investigation in the affair of Carpentier, Grellet and Parot revealed the necessity for setting forth precisa. ly ond in the most distinct manner certain fag er] ece of extradition between France and the United ‘cs. Negotiations were immediately undertaken on this — ll ooooeETDDH wore favorable in many reSpecte to this country than th* previous t doty op rawcotton has neen redeced from 69% to 4@ per centad valorem. Under the previons regulations lougeloths of forty yards, usual width, had an ad vaiorem duty of about 22 1.5 per cent. ‘The highost Sgure in the new tari’ levied on fabrics of all kinds only ranges (in specific duties) from 2 candarines (about three cen(s) to 2 mace (about 20¢.,) per piece. The duty on drilis and jeans, 30 inches wide and 40 yards long, is, under the new tariif 1 mace per piece, (about 14 45 cents.) Under the oid tariff the ad vatorem rates for all kinds of cotton fabrics ranged from 14 4-5 to 2 2-5 to 20 3-5 per cent ad valorem. Theee comparizone ea0w a most important chaage ia the duties under the new tariff, which are little more than ‘nomival. When it is considered that our largest dircet exports to China have hitherto consisted of beavy cotton piece goor's, the importance of this new and re duced tay iff o our manufacturers may be imagined—toe to rior bas been made more avovssibie, uf, particularly aa regards cotton goods, The additional number of pores opeucd commerce directly with the inte Clocks and watches remap atthe old rate of five per cent ad valorem. Pi lead bas a recuced duty of about thisty cents per bosared catties (or 13334 Ibs.) and sheet lead about 76 cents. ‘The duly on first quwlity giogeeng bas been reduced from $56 24 per 100 catties to $10. The duties on exports from China also present some slight modifications. China ware has been advanced from 74 cents Lo $1 35 per 100 cattics. Raw silk remains stationary, and giik manutactured also, ‘Tea is reduced from $3 70 to $8 per 100 catties, THE @A8S-IERRAN CONVENTION WITH NEW GRANADA. This treaty, which was signed in Washington by Messrs. Caes and Herran on the 16th of Sepiember, passed both houses ot the New Granadian Congrees in July last. It provides that a commission, conaiating of one judividual from the governments of the United States and Naw Gra- nada, ehatl meet in Washington within ninety days after ratifications are exchanged, for the purpose of settling all clams of American citizens, corporations or individuals, against New Granada, mcluding the damages sustained by plunder aud wounds in the Panama riots of Aprii 15, 1856, This commission is to conclude ita labors within pize months after it is installed, and all claims allowed by it are to be paid by Now Gravada in Wasbingwn in equal = semi annual poyments; the first to be made in six months alter the commisagon closes; the whole to be paid in eight years, with six per ceptinterest The government oi New Granada agrees to set agide for this purpose half the sum it ought to receive from the Panama Rai!roud Company for inter- oceanic communication, and if that is not sufficient it is to raise it from some other source. The ri ive govern- ments are to pay the expenses of their own commission. When this convention was ratified by the New Graaadian Congress, was also passed giving the President of that republic authority :o exchange ratilications with this country and finally execute the treaty. THE CAS8-YRISABRI TREATY WITH NICARAGUA, ‘The republics of Nicaragua and the United Btates of America being desirous to maintain with each other the most friendly relations, to promote the commercial inter- course of their respective citizens, and to make some mu tual arrangement with respect 10 @ communication be- tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, by the river San Juan de Nicaragua, and either or both the lakes of Nicara- gua and Managua, or by apy other route through the ter- ritory of said republic of Nicaragua, have deemod it ex- pedient to conclude a treaty of friendship, commerce and navigation. Accordingly a treaty was drawn up on the 16th of November, 1857, by Mr. Cass and Mr, Yrisarri in behalf of their respective nd iow oy The treaty pro- vides for perpetual amity between the two countries, as well a8 a reciprocal freedom of commerce, the citizens of each country to have full libefty to settle and carry on trade in the other, and the ships of-war and postal packets to be permitted to enter the riYers and harbors oi each. All favors and immunities in commerce or navigation en- ed by any other foreign nation, to be shared y the citizens of the Unitéed States aud Nicaragua if the concession in favor of that other nution skal! have been gratuitous, or in return for a compensation as near: as poesible of proportionate value and effect, to be ad- justed by mutual agreement, if the conceesiou shail have ‘been conditional. The import autics and tolis are to be od for all other nations, togetuer privileges essential to a free and uniucum. bered commerce and friendly intercourse between the two nations, In cuse of apy rupture occurring, the citi- zens of the two countries are to have six months time, if residing on the coast, and a year if in the interior, to rettle up their affairs and leave the dominions, With reference to the intcroceanic communication, the republic of Nicaragua grants to the United States, and to their citizevs and property, the right of transit between the Atiantic and Pacitic oceans through the territories of that republic, on any route of communi- cation, natural or artificial, whether by laud or water, which’may now or hereniier +xiet or be constructed uader the authority of Nicaragua, to be used and epjoyed in the gaine raanner and upon equal terms by both repnbites and their reapective citizens; the republic of Nicaragua, how- ever, reserving its right of sovereignty over the sade. ‘The United Statve hereby agree 40 extend their protec- tion to all such routes of comamzcation as afyressid, and to guarantee the neuirailly of the same. They also agree to criploy with-other rations 10 iniucp them to guarantee such neutrality and protection. And the republic of Nicaragua on ii part undertakes to es tablish two free ports, one at each of the extremiues of the communication aforesaid, on the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, At theee ports no tonnage or other duties shall be imposed or levied by the government of Nicaragua ou the ‘yersels of the United States, or on any eflvets or merchan- dige beionging to citizens or subjects of the United States, or upon the vessels or effects of any other country in: tended bona fide for transit across the said routes of com- Tmunication, abd not for consumption withia the republic of Nicaragua, The United States bali aiso be at liberty to carry troops and munitions of war, in their own vessels or otherwise, to either of the said free ports, and shail bo entitied to thelr conveyance between them without ob- struction by the authorities of Nicaragua, and without any charges or toils whatever for their trangportion on either of said routes of communication. And no higher or other charges or tolls shall be imposed on the conveyance or transit of persong and property of citizens or subjects of the United States, or of any other coantry,acroes tho said, routes of communication, than are or may be imposed npon the persons and property of citizens of Nicaragua, And the republic of Nicaragua recoguizes the rigit of the Post- master General of the United States to enter into contracts with any individuais or companies to transport the mails of the United States along the said routes of communica. tion, or along any other routes across the Isthmns, in its discretion, in closed bags, the contents of which be intended for distribution within the said republic, free from the imposition of all taxes or duties by the govern. ment of Nicaragua; but this liberty is not to be construed 80 as to permit such individuals or companies, by virtue of thia right to transport the mails, to carry also passen- gers or freight. The republic of Nicaragua agrees that, should it bo- come necessary at any titne to employ military force for the security and ction of peréons and property passing over any of the routes aforesaid, it will employ the requisite force for that purpose; but upon failure to do this, for any cause whatever, the government of the United States may, after notice to the goveramont of Ni- caragua, or to the Minister thereof in the United States, employ such force for this and for no other purpose; and when tho necessity ceases such forco shall be immediately withdrawn. By this eement the United States are not bound to maintain such protection, if the companies es- tablish reguiations concerning treflic contrary to the spi- rit of the treaty, by imposing oppressive exactions on the commerce of any one nation, or showing favors to one pation more than another; six months’ notice being re- quired before the withdrawal of such protection. ‘The most important article in the treaty is porhaps that which guarantees that in any grants, or contracts, woich may hercafter be made or entered’ into by the govern- ment of Nicaragua, having reference to interoceunic routes, the rights and privileges granted to the govern. ment and citizens of the United States shell be fully pro. tected aud reserved, And if any such grants or contracts now exist of a valid character, that the guarantee and protcction of the United States, etipulated in this treaty, sball be beld inoperative and void nnti! the holders of such grants or contracts shall recognise the concessions made in this treaty to the government and citizens of tho United States with respect to such interoceanic rontes, and shall agree to observe and be governed by those conces sions as fullp bad been embraced in their ori- ginal grants or contracts; aftor which recognition and egrectuent said guarantee and protection shall be in fail force. It is provided, moreover, that after tev years from the completion of a railroad, of any other route of communi. cation throngh the territory of Nicaragua from the At- lantic to the Pacific ocean, tio company which may have constructed or be In powsersion of the same sball ever di. vide, directly or invirectly, by the issue of new stock, the payment of dividends or otherwise, more thar fifteen per more vaiuabie by foreign trade, w maticr by the Minister of France to Washington, and tho President of the United States has promulgated the follow- ing adeitional article to the treaty already existing for the extradition of criminals: It i# agreed between the high cont thatthe siipulations of the teatten between the Univer Sart geet Mio, fica and France, of the.
