his duty to avoid any delay, and to nominate ano-

of Mr.. CLIFFORD went into the Senate yesterday at
twelve o'clock, and it was promptly confirmed in
closed doors. He goes to Mexico Associate
Commissioner, and clothed with joint and separate
powers. Mr.. CLIFFORD is an eminent citizen of

confidence Of the Administration and the country.
Mr. CLIFFORD left Washington last night, in COM

and takes the southern route for New Orleans,
whence he will immediately embark for Vera Cruz.
Arrangements have been made to carry out the
Commissioner at once from New Orleans to Vera

for conveying Col SEWER as soon as he is able to
travel.
We heard from COL SEWER last evening. He
is decidedly conyaescent, and hopes to leave Wash
