The Commissionsr from Yucatan-The Missfen to Rowe
Mode Of Creating MissiOns.
commissioner from Yucatan has arrived In this city
charged with the duty OF making treaty Of neutrality
with this but Yucatsu 10 not precisely the
sort Of power this government would bs willing Just now
to treat with She give guaranty that abe would
observe any treaty made With her. and the last attempt
to entangls this in positive recognition o.
her neutrality made through Mr. Rabsira proved sbor.
tive This one will in all likelihood, share . similar
fate.
In addition to the mission TO Rome the President VIII
ask Congress create legations to Guaemss Eeuadof
aud Bolivia oil Of equal rank with that to the Pontnca
Court 90 that there will be Ave charge ships 70 Do nso
after Congress shall assemble that TO Naples
ing the fifth have before intimated that hope has
been entertained that the mission to Rome coulo Do
created BY sending In nomination to the ssnsts with
out formal creation by Congress This question was
discussed at tho hrst session Of the 18TH congress-
april lsa6) Mr. John Quincy Adams then freSdsns'
had sent In to the Senate the names Of two gentlemen
for confirmation ENJOYS extraordinary and minsters
plsnipotsutiary to the Congress OF Panama The
mission hsd not before been authorised by Congress
and many held that the President had no power even
with the advice and consent Of the Senate, to
create new mission without the sanction and concur
renee Of the House Of Representatives The House -
then the of all the talent Of tho country having %
that time the lead Of the Senate In point Of sbitya
lead which it has since lost Among Its members were
Mr. Webster, Mr.. Buchanan, Mr.. John C. Rives, Mr..
Stevenson, Mr. Livingston, Mr.. Forsyth Mr. Louis Mo
Lane, Mr.. McDufne, Mr.. Everett, Judge Mclean, Mr.
Wright, Mr. Polk, SO. Mr. Rvss held on the principle
cujus est dare, jus est dsponere, that the House Of
had the power to control the creation
Of any new mission all appropriations proceed fro
them Mr. Polk conceded in MIR. Rivess views, On
offered re. outon that 1t Is the constitutional night
duty Of the House of Representatives, when called
on appropriations TO defay the expenses OF foreign
missions to deliberate the diepcy or inexpeden
cy such missions and TO determine and act thereon
as their judgment may be most conducive to the pup
lie goodn Mr. Polk sustained this resolution in speech
of the same tenor MIR Buchanan ditsented from this
opinion on the ground that the constitution vests in
tho President and Senate the power Of making treste
that treaties cannot be negotiated without ministers
and that therefore, the exercise Of tbs reaty
power involves the power to create missions The sppro
pration the at and salary Of the two ENJOYS Mr.
| John Sergeant and Mr.. Richard C.. Anderson was
finally voted by the House. without the adoption Of any
provso questioning the power OF the executive to create
the missions by his act with the advice and con
sent of the Senate without the previous sanction OF the
House, but Mr. Folks the question then, will
OF necesty prove an estoppel to his adoption Of Mr.
Adamss policy now The of the President Of ls47
will doubtless be made to accord with those Of the re-
preventative Of 1926.
} No apprehension Is entertained that CongTsn VIII
TO sanction creation Of the mission to Rome
although 1t would be very desirable that It could bsst
created without tedious travail through the House
Of Rspressntatives 1t is expected that the House. not
unanimous voting the appropriation will vote 1t with
very few dissenting voices but there so many things
OF political character TO occupy Its attention, and
which 1t to be feared will occupy Its attention to the
delay Of other things Of greater moment, that there
to apprehend the appropriation viii not be made
until towards the close Of the session. 1t now ths
the good pontn wants the support and countsnanee OF
the American government, and is In the power OF
Congress to afford him this countenance and supper
forthwith The nomination will be sent In to the Be
nate Immediately after the mission shall be created
