wA.BtNeTor, January 9.


United States will reject the treaty me-
gotiaied with Turkey, and lately sub
mitted by the President for their ccnfir-
nation, ON the ground that the commits
sioDer. who msde the treaty were APP
pointed without constitutional autnority.
Ia the case of the celebrated Panama
mission, the senatorial friends OF the
present administration contended ana
voted that the President had no authorh
ty TO originate or create mission ID the
recess OF the Senate; that be bad only
the power to I'LL diplomatic vacancies
that might occur in the recess, and that
these appointments must be submitted
10 the Senate for their advice and con.
sent at the session after they are made.
Ii seems that the commissioners who
framed the treaty with Turkey were not
only appointed or originated IN the re
cess, but that they never were submitted
to the Senate. Mr. fazeweil and 9th
ers feel bound to maintain their censis
tency of principle, and the result, it is
said, will be the rejection of the treaty,
and an iniimation or q vote OF advice to
the President to submit to the Senate
the nomination of a new mission to ne
gotiate another Or confirm the same
treaty with the Turks This is one Of
the reports which have been circulated
in this metropolis for som' days past. |
do moi vouch for its accuracy.
II 10 vumored, that the late Indian trea-
ties will be opposed or rejected 10 the
senate, on the ground that they were
made with a people having no will of
their own, and acting under species
of influence amounting to coercion. |
do not vouch for the authenticity of this
report
III ~ rum ored, that some Of the execu
tive nominations will run hazard Of
rejection in the senate II is. however,
believed that the commissioners under
the Danish treaty will be confirmed
without di fIiculty.
II has been abserdiy reported, that the
Vice President has challenged the PIE.
sident to single combat There is no
truth in this rumor
II Is r,:morsd, that Mr.. Crawford has
written severe letter to MIR Calhoun,
and that the latter gentleman returned
it without an answer.
IL Is runored that a correspondence
has ensued between Mr. Forsyth and
Mr.. Calhoun.
II is ramored, that to morrow morn
ing majority of the judiciary commit
tee will report bill to repeal the TWEEN
ty-hfth section of the judicial acl of
1899 prescribing the powers and duties
OF the Supreme Court, and that the
chairman OF that committee, in behalf of
the minority Of its members, will make
IA decisive counter report against the
repeal. Mr., Buchanan is that chair
maa This will brir z up for considera.
ton the whole notification question:;
and the result will probably be an over.
whelming rele ction Of the repeating bill
His understood, that the COG mittee on
roads and canals, to whom that part of
the late executive message which re
iates to internal improvement was re
ierfed, will, in the course Of a week or
two, make a report in favor of The con
stituiionahty and expediency Of patron
izing and fostering the construction Of
roads and canals by the general govern
ment. Judge HemphlIl is The chairman
Of that committee.
II rHmor of negotiation OF n personal
and political nature has obtained cir
cuati"n to- day but it is of too delicate
a character to be published without first
ascertaining lis authenticity. - The Pre-
sldent has nothing to do with it.
1t as said, that the late arrangement
with Great Britain, in relation to the d.
rect colonial trade, is not likely TO turn
out as we'll as was confidently expected.
The vessels OF the United States cannot
take any other than our native produc
lions or manufactures to the British West
Indiesi they cannot take assorted car
goes; the duties on flour amount To a
prohibition; the carrying trade will
prlnclpaily be transferred to British YES
sells; ard the Canadas, rather than the
United States, will enjoy the cbief ad
vantases which the arrangement will
produce. Countervailng regulations
on our side are said to be already con
templated in congress.
There are among the on dts Of the
day here, and they are communicated
loo the qualification ofthe inquisitive of
your qaid nuncs 1t is not proper that
the readers of the opposition prints
should alone receive intelligence OF
