AMERICA.

Intelligence from New York up to the 26th ult.
states that the meeting of Congress would take
place the next Monday, when the President's mes•
sage was expected.
Some curious revelations of Walker's intended policy
have come to light in the New York papers. General
Goicouria, an exiled Cuban, who had been in-
triguing with Walker to secure the independence
and liberty of Cuba, and was sent to intrigue with
the English Government by Walker, has quarrelled
with the Central American revolutionists, and pub-
lished some correspondence of Walker's which
clearly b, tray his design to achieve the conquest of
Central America, and to establish a new Southern
republic independent of, and to some extent antago-
nistic to, the United States. The two most impor-
tant documents were first a solemn convention entered
into between Walker end Goicouria to achieve the
liberty and independence of Cuba. The second
document is a letter to Goicouria, received when
starting upon his British expedition :
-

Granada, Aug. 12.
Ny dear General,—l send your credentials for Great

Britain by General Cazeneau. They are ample, and will
be, I hope, not without result. If you can open negotia-
tions with England and secure for Nicaragua the port of
San Juan del Norte, you will effect a great object. It will
be a long step towards our end. Without San Juan del
Norte, we lack what will be in the end indispensable to us
—a naval force in the Caribbean Sea. The commercial
consequences of this possession are nothing in comparison
with the naval and political results.
With your versatility, and, if I may use the term,
"adaptability,' I expect much to be done in England.
You can do more than any American could possibly ac-
complish, because you can make the British Cabinet see
that we are not engaged in any scheme for annexation.
You can make them see that the only way to cut the
expanding and expansive democracy cf the North is by a
powerful and compact Southern federation, based on
military principles.
The sooner you get to England the better it will be for
us. If possible, the treaty should be made before the middle
of November. By that time the rainy season will be over,
and we can open the next campaign. We must have all our
relations with Central America fixed before the last of
April, and nothing will so much facilitate us as the settle•
meat of the Mosquito question. Above all. this part is
necessary for the work we have in hand atter our Central
American affairs are settled.

It is needless for we to impress you with the import-
ance of this mission, for you, no doubt, feel it as deeply
as I do.

I hope to bear from you every mail. Can you yet make
write me a letter? Tell he must send me the
news, and let me know whether " Cuba must and shall be
free;" but not for the Yankees. Oh, no! that fine country
is not fit for those barbarous Yankees. What would such
a psalm•singing set do in the island ?
Remember me to your family, and believe me yours
sincerely, WM. WALKER.
Gen. D. de Goicouria.

General Goicouria, uron this, entered into a
lengthy and fruitless correspondence, protesting
against the revival of slavery, and which has re-
sulted in his present quarrel with Walker.
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald states that, owing to these indications of
Walker's ulterior views, the American Cabinet, re-
garding the question as one of the greatest magni-
tude, are about to send a Minister to the Republic of
Guatemala, for the purpose of opening negotiations
with Carrera, the permanent dictator, and of urging
him to form an alliance with the other Central
American Republics against Walker. Collateral
means to bring about the result will not, the corre-
spondent says, be neglected. Further, the corre-
spondent asserts that Mr. Marcy hopes during his
remaining term of office so to shape the policy of
the United States in regard to Central America that
it will be difficult for the Buchanan Administration

to effect a change. He will strain every nerve to
overthrow Walker.

It is stated that matters in reference to the massa•
cre at Panama had been arranged by Mr. Marcy and
the new Granadian Minister.

The New York Courier and Enquirer's correspon-
dent states, respecting British claims on Oregon :

The claims of the two British companies in Oregon and
Washington territories, which are excluded from notice in
Mr. Dallas's treaty, will probably be provided for in a
separate convention, or by special legislation in the coming
session of Congress. The privileges secured by the
treaty of 113.16 to the Hudson's Bay Company are less impor-
tant and valuable to them than embarrassing to this Go-
vernment. They will be disposed of without much trouble
and at little expense. The Puget's Sound Agricultural
Company claims a very large tract of the best arable lands
in Washington territory, and, should its pretensions be
sustained, they would very serionsly interfere with the
settlement of the country. Could the extinction of the
alleged rights of both companies be connected with the
retrocession of Vancouver's Island, our Government would
be found disposed to pursue a very liberal policy. This
great island contains vast deposits of bituminous coal,
which is needed to supply the wants of the population of
the Pacific slope. Its reannexation to the United States
is an object which the Executive is anxious to accomplish
before yielding the helm of affairs to his successor.

THE FOLLOWING EXTRACT from the New-Russia
Calendar for 1853, which contains concise particulars
of all the towns and smaller places in New-Russia
and Bessarabia, will throw an interesting light on the
discussions that. are now going on with reference to
Bo!grad :

Bolgrad is a well-built Bulgarian hamlet, in the
colonial district of Lower Budjak, in the province of
Bessarabia, on the river Alpuch, chief seat of the ad-
ministration of the Trans-Danubian colonists. It
contains 8,305 inhabitants, in 1,307 houses, which
are for the most part built of bricks (the word may
also mean stone) ; has a village school for boys, and Another
for girls, a splendid cathedral, and a burying-ground in
which General Insow, the founder of the present colony,
lies interred : there are also five granaries belonging to the
commune and 13 belonging to private persons, 1 public
garden, 675 private gardens, and the following -
establishments—viz. :-15 for candlemaking, 9
brickmaking. 7 potteries, 8 dye houses, 14
of fermen•ed liquors, I inn, and 42 shops. The
land is 22,765 dessiatimes in extent. On the way
there is a monument erected by one of the colonists

on his march to the Danube in 1818.
