WASHINGTON, January 3 1885,
We are looking for an Executive Message to-mor-
row, in relation the mediation offered bv England
between US and France. The intelligence received by
the Government leaves doubt of the fact that Britain
has inerfered to "spol SPORT, as some of our navy
officers say Mr. Barton has Informed the Government
here that he had taken his passports and would return
as soon as be could make it convenient He stated at
the same time, that there appeared be prospect of
satisfactory adjustment of the difficulties pending be-
tween this country and France, there being no apparent
disposition the part of the Government of France to
do US justice. Upon this special war message was
expected but the subsequent news of the profered me-
diauon by England, NAV change its character.

have 80 recently occurred, and viii not acknowledge
their defeat. The two great guns the Evening Journal
and the Daily Advertiser have hosted their colors and
are loaded up TO the muzzle with iuvectives of all
kinds sorts and sizes against the Jackson party The
Argus, with its hundred eyes, is calmly looking on,
and smiling at their stupidity.
The Regency in high spirits, and the friends of
Van Buren,, feel confident that they look down all
opposition. Some sharp work is expected in a short
time between the two parties. The Harrison gentry
are resolved to hold out the last and if they cannot
bite, they are determined to shew their teeth.
Yesterday being New Years" there was a strong
muster of both parties, their various places of rem

The business Of the Legislature commences on Tues
day. when mighty doings' are expected. One of the
first applications to be made is for permission TO erect
a bridge over the Hudson at Albany" There will be
much opposition from the people of Troy to the mea-
sure, the latter want the bridge nearer their own
city. There is much quarelling about it, that one
would imagine they were going 10 blow up the whole
river with gunpowder, out of spite and malice.
