The little Republic of Cracow seems likely
10 set the crowned heads of Europe by the
ears. The territory in question is now for
mally absorbed in the Austrian Empire, to the
great scandal Of all who respect the faith Of
treaties, and the rights of legitimate govern
ment. This step has been forced upon Aus
tria. it is said by the Gar Of Russia with
the consent of Prussia. The annexation, OF
absorption, is most unpnlatable to Frances
which has strongly protested against it and
urged England to join in the protest; but the
whig Cabinet displeased at the MontpensieT
marriage, stands aloof, and protests singlyt
crntifed, apparently, at the opportunity which
has so speedily occurred, Of making the
French Monarch feel his littleness in carrying
offthe I~nfanta, contrary to their wishes for the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of his family.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Journ. of Commerce, who, as we have had
repeated occasion to remark, is much more of
a l%ocofoco than a Wing, writes as follows in
one of his late letters:
l have already stated that the general i'm
preston made by the message herOabouts was
highly favorable: and it was the belief that it
would tend to allay party strife, and especially
to heal come growing discussions in the Demo-
cratic party. But it may be doubted whether
there exists any sovereign balm for political
wounds. The symptoms Of disorder in the
Legislative body are aggravated by the remedy
which has been applied. On one hand, a strong
disposition is manifested to support the Presl
dent in his views, and the other a feeling Of
personal bitterness appears to have been crea-
ted in relation to him. This feeling is, by no
means, confined to the wing patty, and, before
the end Of the session, it will be manifested in
Quarters hitherto regarded as friendly to the
Administration. The Wings are very resent
full at the charge of treason made, in the mes
sage against all who had the misfortune to OPP
pose the policy Of the President. in regard to
the origin and conduct ofthe war. The charge
brought against the opponents of the war is
certainly out of place in the message OF the
President, who is presumed to know Of no party
differences, and to participate in none SO fara
his national manifestoes are concerned. 1t is
the first time that a President in his annual
message has foundi it necessary 10 d%enounce bic
opponents as guilty o ftreascn. A bad impress
sion will BE- made on other nations, as to the
character Of our institutions, when they see
that a President charging . party embracing
half or nearly half the people Of the United
States, and a party Of acknowledged intelli-
pence and influence, with "with giving aid and

The following is from the correspondent Of
the Baltimore Patriot writing under date Of
Washington City, Dec. 10.
"When The bill sanctioning the war with
Mexico was before the Senate the last session
Of Congress, Mr.. Calhoun is reported to have
said that he would sooner plunge a dagger
through his heart than vote for il, with tho in
formation which he possessed.
What was that information? Ihave it from
reliable authority, that a correspondence Of an
important nature, Of this connection, has been
suppressed by the Executive from the Legisla.
tive department of the Government. and is now
on the files of the State Department.
This correspondence shows that before our
army was ordered to proceed from the Nueces
to the Rio Grunde, by Mr.. Polk, a letter or di.
rectlon was sent by the Mexican President,
Herrera, to the General commanding the Mex.
lean army of the North, Arista to propose
to General Taylor Of the American Army
that the forces of the Two nations should keep
entirel, ont of the disputed territory between
the Nueces and Grande del Norte-that this
proposition was made accordingly, and that it
was forwarded by Gen. Taylor to the President
The Document was keptin silence in the State
Department, and not communicated to Con-
gress. AT the same time that the President
kept this important document from Congress,
he, without condescending to consult Congress
orders our army to take possession Of this dis,
puted territory! This, | am credlbly informed,
is the truth Of the case. Was it a knowledge
of this important fact that caused Nh, Calhoun
, to express himself SO emphatically as he did ri
the time alluded to? Perhaps the facts in the
, case viii be called for by Congress. Nous vsr.
s Tons,
