Had Denmark's royal lunstic spent the last three
weeks in Washington, he never would have had
occasion to adjure the gods that his too solid
I flesh would melt" "No flesh can stand il" as
the old women say. 1t is here that Calvin Ed
son must have practised to attain that re mark able
attenuation that made him such an object Of in
terest' to the surgeons. Preachers here neveg
talk OF the heat of the place below. The good
people of this city would think il insult 10 their
understanding, TO be tod of any place mare
insuherably hot than Washington. Oliver Wei
dali Holmes would never have written his lu-
dicrous poem on the effects Of the heat, II he
had been I'm Washington in the mouth Of Au-
gust. he would have found II too sad reality
TO be made Jest Of The worst of il is. there
is no way 10 escape it--no Castle Garden TO
go TO, where you can inhale the cool sea
breeze. The heat here is tormenting Pau-

The President leaves for Old Point Wednes-
day next. He will stay probably until the first Of
September The cabinet will then take little
relaxation from their very arduous abors.
The next news from the city OF Mexico will be
a-mportant. On it lays the fate of the war. If
Mexico consult her own interest, the is at IN
end. Should she, however, be deafto the dictates
OF reason, and continue To wage a causeess and
Il boorless warfare, her msiorlunes be upon her
own head II is for us, in such an event. TO strike
such blow as will bring her to her senses. There
is every reason TO hope, however, that she will
close with our peaceful proposition. She has
made no declaration that she wishes pease. But
information has been received, as told you in
former letter from reliable, though no, an official
source, that she will accept pacific proposition.
That proposition is by this time in the hands Of her
minister of foreign affairs. We may expect in
telligence of decisive character in a fortnight.
am glad TO be able to inform you tina, the most
obnoxious features OF the new tariff bill-those
pecialy njurionsly affecting the coal and iron in
terest, will be essentially modified at the next
sion Of Congress. This you may consider set
tied thing. Mr. Secretary Walker is favorable to
it, and most of the southern men have promised
to cheerfully acquiesce in the change.

Among the measures defeated 1t the close of
the session of Congress, we regret 10 say, was one
for the better regulation Of the mineral lands In
Michigan and Wisconsin il had passed the
Senate by an almost, if not quite, unanimous
vote. but would not be reported 10 the House for
the want Of time, unless by vote OF two-thirds of
that body. Several attempts. were made to re-
port the bill, and il only failed by few votes, of
two.thirds II is greatly to be regretted that any
rule of the House should thus put it into tho
hands of the minority to defeat measure ofsuch
great importance, both to the government and II
large class Of enterprsing individuals; Tor n.
present there is really no law, according TO the
decision OF the President, governing the mineral
lands of copper and silver in Michigan aud Wis
