Correspondence OF The Tribune.
WASHINGTON March IL.
don't hear that any draft upon our Government,
for the 100000 has yet arrived from Mr. TEIsr
nor perhap, will any such appear. Blu, II the re
ported liberty from Mr.. BVcHASAy 10 drs should
have been taken advantage of by him is there not
probability that he may have touched the money ?
It IS said, and on seemingly good authority, that
the nature Of the power granted to Mr TRIsT was
something like this He received certifc ates from
the Secretary Of the Treasury % the effect that bis
draft IN favor Of the Mexican Government for the
whole or any part Of the So 600 900 would be duly
honored with the intimation. however. that he
should be careful that toe conditions required by
the act appropnatng said moneys be fully com
piled with, and that any Treaty he should enter
into with the authorized agent or agents OF the
Mexican Goyernmeuybe "duly ratified By Mexico.
IL IS true that between the grant q this power
on the part of Mr.. BUCHAsAS and the negotiation
Of the Treaty by Mr.. TRIsT, II may be said the
commission Of the latter WIS revoked. Sull he
was Acknowledged ald treated with on the part Of
the Mexican Comm ssionerf as having fall powers
and 1t does not appear that 1t was known to them
there had been any revocation Of his powers In
fact there rGs no reU0catiOa. Mr. BUCHANaS IL IS
true, urges bis return. and with some pertinacity
bat be gave no notice, either 70 the Mexican Gov
eminent or to Sir. TRIsT himself Of a suspension
Of his diplomatic functions. II the debt, taere
fore, has been negotiated in good faith would not
our Government. be bound TO us payment
There need be 10 apprehension entertained that
il rM ray. Gen Cas- understands well the code
Of morals which the Administration ard his party
Adopt. when he asserts that nations are not gov
erned by the same laws OF morality by which the
actions Of individuals are 20 be regulated. What
IS vice IL the individual instance becomes high
toned patriotism in the aggregate.
Mr Tust, it is Furthermore said. gives three
reasons why be negotiated the present Treaty.
LIST. Because peace was still the desire Of his
Government.
I'd. Because if the present opportunity be not
seized at once. all chances Of making Treaty AZ
all will be lost for an indefinite period, probably
forever.
Sd. Because this is the utmost point 20 which
the Mexican Government can by any possibility
venture.
Of the potency Of these reasons, and Of the
chances Of peace, let those judge who know some
thing Of Mexico and the Mexicaus.
The House to day adjourned after the announce
ment by Mr.. Hunt of our State Of the death Of
Mr. HoLLEY. He spoke in appropriate language
and with deep sensibty of the decesss and viz
tues Of the late Representative.
Mr.. HOLLEY was here hardly long enough TO be
known to members. But the.few who made his
acquaintance, speak in proper terms OF his smiable
disposition, his good sense. and great abilities
The Senate adjourned early this morning upon
the announcement of the death Of Mr. HoLLET. IL
was expected that the bill making good certain de
icient appropriations would be taken up and pass
ed-but that bill will now probably occupy Monday
The loan bill will come up Tuesday, when Mr..
ATHERros will explain Mr.. WALTESs notions
upon the state of tue Treasury and his wishes.
