Remarkably snug Mr.. Sewer may be back in
July next, but probably not before December.
He leaves some time during this wee I; but may
not get of before Saturday Mr.. Walsh, his Sc
cretsry of Legation, Is son OF Robert Walsh,
our sstimablc Consul at Paris. He was, we be-
lieve, the Secretary of Mr.. Wise, at Brazil, and
has, We learn, KNOWLEDGE OF the Spanish Ian
guage, which will be Of great advantage to Mr.
Sewer, who knows not exactly what you would
be after If you should say, "Habias Espagnol,
Senior milo ?''
Mr.. Sewer is plain, blunt. frank, honest, up
and-down, fair dealing negotiator. He has not
a spark Of the Metternlch stock In his compost
ton; but he has well defined chart to sail by,
and has an experienced ald-de-camp In Mr.
Walsh Besides, his good sense and strong ma
tive sagaclty will save him from the probabili.
ties of being circumvented, as Shannon and
Slidell were, by Rejon and Penay Pena, respec-

In short interval of open business af-
ter the first executive sitting to-day, Mr.. Cass
made some direct illusions to the treaty and the
commissioner, and was taken at once to task
by Mr. Webster, Mr.. Berrlen, and Mr.. Douglass,
as disclosing secrets OF which the world Were
stupidity ignorant, aud as If he had done some
thing very dreadful and astonishing. The gene
raj, however, was frank to confess that he saw
matter, and spoke up like a man guided by the
principles of common sense, as far as this horri-
BILE mystery of the treaty is concerned
As we had anticipated, on the other hand he
argued the passage OF the ten egments as a per-
suaslve to the MeXlcans to close up the treaty
Whether there be or not necessity for this
proceeding, the preparations and proclamations
OF Gen. Scott, for spreading his army over the
republic, and levying and collecting taxes,
appear to have operated like charm in favor Of
Mr.. Trist. At all events, We exI ect the bill will
be passed by the Senate. We understand that
in consideration of the invaluable services OF
Mr.. Trlst, he will be allowed compensation
down to the arrival of Mr. Sewer 10 supresede
him, which is perfectly fair.
There was an appropriation last session OF
$50, 900 for the costs of negotiating a peace
and allowing $4,000 for Mr.. Sewer and his
secretary, the other 500, 900 will, perhaps, meet
the demands of His Excellency Senior Don Nj
cholas, ex-clerk of the State Department, eX-
commissioner recalled, but, nevertheless, the
lndemitable negotlator of treaty of peace
casting Parrot, and Shannon, and Slldell, and
Atocha Con most unfortunate Atocha y, and
Alexander Shdell Mackenzie, all OF them far
OH into the shade.
Mr.. Sewer will take with him authority for
the disbursement OF the pony purse OF three mil
one hand, and the bag OF eagles in the other how
In the name of reason and Mexican patriotism
can he fail He can't fail-he mus succeed
and the British, If more money is wanted 70 sus-
tain awhile this deserving peace government OF
Mexico, Will lend 1t, OF course, on easy terms.
In conclusion, we have not much hope thai
the Senate will adopt resolution for calling the
editor of the Herald 10 this city 10 account for
that treaty sworn to at Guadalupe Hidalgo &" In
the name of Almighty Gsd.' Ii they do, Mr..
Bennett will be apt to suffer the penalty of visit
TO Washinsto at the expense OF toe public trea-
sury. The Doctor.
