Wis said on good authority that a letter bas been writ- ten by Peter Cagger,in which he declares that if the ‘Southern States demand the Presidential canditate at Gherlemen, the Albany Regency New York delegation wi De with them. Is this a bid for sdmission? Prem conversations with Southern mon we have reason > Wabove that while the Wood delegation will be recog: walned ag good democrats, they will be excluded, on the ground of irregulsrity, from seats In the Convention. A eomtesting delegation from Georgia was disposed of in ‘this way in 1852. ‘Southern men agsure us that, although Mr. Dongias may ‘enter the Convention with 110 or 120 votes, he will never Youch bottom. The South is as firm as a rock of adamant ‘against bim ; and ix there is anything upon which Mr. Bu- ‘hanes 4 implacable, it is Douglas. Thus, the Pennsyl- ae that even the New Yoru Hxnap was wide of the mark in poesenting Mr. Douglass as one of only two available can- @idates for Charleston, inasmuch as the President regards Doughss wholly unavailable. ‘The rump of the American or Know Nothing party de- (ive his nomination, for then they will raise the hue and ery that the Pope of Rome and the Jesuits will rule tm the White House should Douglas be elected; ama oupen this cry ‘ i calculated that the weligiews agitation will overwhelm tho slavery question ‘emdeombine the Protestants throughout the land.

A brief disonssion then ensued in ."pegara Yo uome Of ite provisions, which was participated im by democrats only, and without arriving at any deter- -malmation it was postponed until to-day. At half-past.one to-day the Senate went into executive pession and resumed the consideration of the Mexican teenty. But little progress was made, as the debate was grincipally confined to the provisions allowing United ‘States forces to interfere in the provection of right of way mittee on Foreign Affairs was kept pretty busy in answer- img questions propounded to him from all sides of the Senate. The debate was coafined mostly to the demo- eratic side; but one republican, Sensior Simmonz, of Rhade ‘Trinad..nnoke in opposition to the treaty. After making ‘calla upon the adininisgration for aaditional im regard to points which were not satisfac- torily explained, the whole subject was postponed unti ‘Panraday at two o'clock. A good deal of opposition is manifested to the Mexican sreaty, anide from the direct avowed interference it con ~ temaptates on the part of the United States, begause of the Imysterious application which is to be made of the four “ miidens which are to be given to Mexico. Helf of this 1m is ostensibly to be paid to Juarez, as the necessary wa Of war, to enable bim to compete successiully with Mramon, but the otfier half is to be paidto Ameri ereditors against Mexico. Now who are these creditors’ ‘N information upon this subject is voucheafed—but from tthe interest which the lobby takes in urging the ratifisa- thon of the treaty intact, it is sufficiently evident there ereditors are live individuals, corporcally present in Weabington. ‘ie stated that the real object of this feature of tho ‘#z.aty ia 0 revive the Tehuantepec company, of which enator Benjamin is President, and that this company is fhe Jargest creditor against Mexico, upon the. peore of damages, and will swallow up nearly ait of the two millions sppropriated to pay “American ereditors.”’ Mr. McLane, our Minister to Mexico, is known to have formerly been largely interested in the Tehuan- tepec Company, and itis charged that his appointeacnt ‘was brought about through the influence of Senator Ben- jamin and the Tebuantepec Company. ‘The opponents of the treaty declare their intentions, in ane it should be ratified by the Senate, to oppose the ap- propriation of the four millions upon the same grounds which were successfully a vanced by the House of Repre- wentatives against the Jay treaty under Genera! Washing- Yon’s administration—namely, that the treaty making power bad no right indirectly to take away from the le @alstive branch of the government the control over the public money which the constitution provides. On the whole, it is probable that the money clause of ‘the treaty will not pass unless it is clearly understood be- Sereband where the money is to go, and the nature of the «‘damages” which it ia designed to cover, ‘Bre impression prevails that the treaty will be rejected ‘Whe republican Senators are said to bea unit against its Fetifcation. Without their aid it cannot pass. ARRIVAL OF 4 SPECIAL MESSENGER FROM TEXAS. General Forbes Britton arrived here to-day, with tm. portant despaiches from General Houston to the govern- meat. They were immediately communicated to the Secretary of War, who was at the time in Cabiret council. Of course it is not known what action was taken in re gard to the matter. The General represents the most de- plorable state of things on the whole line of our Mexican frontier, and if our government do not render the neces. wary protection, the Texans will take the majter in their own bands, and, if necessary, carry the war into the ene- my's country. , ‘The Senator from Texas, Mr. Wigfelly we are told, hag no confirmation of the alleged projected movements of General Sam Houston inte Mexico; but we mast wait the Gevelopement of the despatehes by Gen. H.'a specia! mes- Seager. ’ *pmomactios OF AMERIGAN INTERESTS IN MEXICO. ‘The government have ordered the United Stateg rere- ‘nue cutter stationed at New Orleans to Vera Cruz, to aid tm protecting American citizegs andproperty in case of an attack upon that city by the It is under- ‘stood instructions have been sent “by oar government, which will be carried out by the revenue cutter to the Gulf Squedren, or that portion of it in the vicinity of Vora ‘Cruz, to hold themsctyves in readiness, and to render such aid to our citizens as may be necessary to protect them against Miramon, or any other parties who may attempt to interfere with them. ‘The Secretary of War has issued orders to the officers em the Mexican frontier to pursue and arrest, Where- ‘ever they are to found, the Mexican banditti that have or may invade American territory. These erdera will be fully carried out, and the administration are determined to suppress and bring to justice these wearanders and infamous bandits who are robbing and -mardering throughont the entire section of country. ‘ OUR MEMATION IN THR WAR IN CHINA, ‘The New Vork Chamber of Commerce bave adiressed @ letter to the President, asking that our government may mediate between the belligerent in Chins, by sending = mpecial commissioner there for that object.

Mr. Seward will speak to the country m the Senate to- morrow, at half-past one o'clock. ‘THR NAW HOUSE PRINTER AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Im reeponse to your editorial inquiry, I am able to re- pert that, from al) the information I can receive from the Iigheest authority om the subject, Mr. Ford declined to make any proposition to the Republican Executive Com mittee as a bid for the printing. He was taken up as a compromise candidate by aJ) the different factions, more from @ desire to get rid of a vexed question than to gratify any particular clique or combination. - Mr. Ford took the oath of office to-day, and entered Upon his duties. Shortly afterwards, Mr. Raffin, of North Carolina, arose, and informed the House that be- fore the ballot was announced for Printer yesterday, be “eked the Clerk if his (Mr. Ruffin’s) name was recorded, ‘and that the Clerk replied thst. it was. He added, motion the yeas and nays will probably be ‘morrow, and the impression is to-night that, inasmuch as Several members who did not vote for Mr. Ford were ready to do so if their votes were wanted, thereforea hand- seme majority will vote against rectifying the journal, in @rder to keep the question from tormenting the House any longer. Several members of eminent legal ability are of opinion that, masmuch as the crror was not dis Covered unti} after the jorrnal of yesterday was read and approved, and that Mr, Ford had subsequently taken the cath of office, and formally entered upon his duties, Mt is too late to rectify the error. The most important point: developed in this case is the fact that Mr. Ruffin ia not pasitive that be voted. ‘THR NEW MILBAGE BILI.. ‘The Mileage bill under consideration in the House to day reduces the present rates one-half, and computes the dis- tance by an sir hne instead of by the shortest travelled mail route. The total average reduction from present rates, therefore, would be nearly two-thirds. The effect of the adjournment before the vote upon the ordering of the main question was anneunced will be to send it to the Speaker's table, where it is doubtful if it will again be reached. The vote to-day indicates a large majority for ‘the bill when pressed to a vote by yeas and nays, and yet when the opportunity was afforded to kill it by a subter™ foge it was eagerly adopted. APPOINTMENTS CONFIRMED. The Senate has confirmed a number of unimportant nominations, among whom were James F. Jones, of New York, Register of the Land Office, Kansas. * DESPATCHES YROM NICARAGUA. Advices received here, brought by the Baltic, confirm the statement that Mr. Wyke, the British Minister, had succeeded in negotiating a treaty with Nicaragua, by which England abandons her right to the Mosquito Pro- tectorate. It appears thet Nicavagua is to secure an an- nuity to the Mosquijo tribe of Indians of ten thousand dol- larsa year, forten years. Great Britainin this matter bas carried out her agreements, and acted in ‘good faith towards the United States. A project of treaty was sub- mitted to our government before being forwarded to Ni- caragua, and its provisions were approved. It is un- doubtedly a mistake that the American Minister endea- ‘vored to prevent the treaty from being negotiated, as he ‘was fully fully aware that it met the approbation of our government. ‘THE CAS8-HERRAN TREATY WIP NEW GRANADA. ‘The intelligence from New Granada is unimportant. Congress was to assemble at Bogota in Febraary, when it ‘was expected the Cass-Herran treaty would be taken up and definitely acted upon. The statements in regard to the burning of Bibles is undoubtedly true, as Mr. Jones, the American Minister, mentions the fact in his communi- cation fo the Department, recetved some weeks ago. ADVICES FROM GEN. HARNEY. ‘The War Department reooived advioss thie morning | “atanany £4 from Gen. Harney, who is still at Fort Vancouver. Thére ‘was.no political news of importance. Everything was quiet in the neighborhood of San Juan. NAPOLEON AND FREE TRADE. Tt appears by a letter from the Secretary of State, com- municated to the-Houne in response to a resolution calling for a copy of the Emperor Napoleon’s recent letter on the subject of commerce and free trade, that it has not been communicated to the Executive by the government of France, nor-has it been officially transmitted by the act- ing Charge d’Affaires of the United States at Paris. A printed copy, however, was transmitted by the latter for the information of the State Department, of which a trans- lation has been made.
