THE SPECIAL MISSION TO ENGLAND.

We learn from the Baltimore Chronicle that it is cur
reny reported in Washington that the President designs
to tender this mission to Mr. Webster. The Chronicle
adds
AS New England question, it is undoubtedly proper
that New Eng lander should be selected the Negocator
and Mr. Webster, as the first of all New England
is peculiarly well qualified for distinguished post 1t
has been quite common in all countries
binary missions for the adjustment of disputes of long
ding and unusual ntricacy and the country,
will regard with perfect satisfaction the selection of Mr..
Webster in this His appointment would be
sdered any dsparagement Mr. Stevenson the gener-
al and ordinary business of his Office being sufficient
cupy his attention We trust therefore, that if the Presi-
dent think fit to offer the conduct Of this important embas-
sy to Mr. Webster, the latter will think Of declining it.
FLoRIDA.-We have Just gentleman who left
Tallahassee the 2lst umo, from whom learn that
murders by the Indians Of every day in that
neghborhood. Between the 18th and 2ls during this
gentlemans stay Tallahassee fifteen citizens had been
killed by the Indians The Semnoles have introduced
dogs into their warfare Our informant, is familiar
with the military events in Florida, tells he saw, him
self, the corpse of militaman of the small party
which had been dispersed by the Indians who had been
hunted down by dogs, and held bay until the Indians
approached and shot him.
The gentleman to whom allude, and who has had the
best opportunity of judging, gives it his opinion that no
mode of expeng the Indians from Florida will be efiA
cacious as that of the military occupation bill which has
passed the Senate and this he SAYS the general opn
ion of the people of Florida, well of the officers
ployed in the military service there.-Globe.

fact whether the royal governor is under instruc-

no doubt. The Government has pending negotl-
