TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. 4 Z
Summary.

The news from Washington, received last
evening by telegraph, is very interesting. The
most important part of it is the intelligence
respecting the selection of commissioners 10
take the ratified treaty back to Mexico.
1t seems that Mr. Sewer, the Senator from
Arkansas, has been selected for this purpose
and if more are united with him, we understand
It will be the Hon. Louis McLane, of Maryland,
with some other eminent man.
The selection of Mr.. McLane is very happy
one. This distinguished statesman was con
nected with the settlement of the Oregon ques-
ton, when minister to the court of st. James
has name, reputation, and high character
and is we'll known in England, France, and
throughout Europe. A body of commissioners
composed OF such men Mr.. Sewer, Mr.. Nc
Lane, and another, selected to take the treaty
back 10 Mexico, will give an Importance to the
movement which will have an influence over
the world, and even over the demoralised states
men of Mexico.
If in the weakness or wickedness OF the mo-
ment, the Mexican government should refuse to
ratify this treaty-coming under the auspices Of
such men as these-they will deserve to be
placed without the pale of civilized diplomacy,
ana the responsibility VIII NC tuioWH VA HeW'
In view of the possibility of Mexico rejecting
the amended treaty, we learn that Mr.. Cass will
seize the first opportunity to call up the ten reg-
menl bill, and urge its prompt passage.
The Senate not in session yesterday,
having adjourned until Tuesday (to-day) upon
the conclusion of their labors on the treaty. In
the House of Representatives, resolution was
offered declaring it expedient to adopt rule to
expel members who may engage in personal con-
f1icts on the floor of the House. A petition from
the national reformers of Brooklyn was present
ed by Mr.. Murphy, and a resolution proposing
to carry out the peculiar views of that party rela
tive to the public lands, was offered by Mr..
Slingersland. Communications relative to the
ocean steam and mail service, were received
from the Executive department and patent office.
The bill to organise territorial government IN
Oregon, was made the special order of the day
for the 18th inst. A resolution providing that
the judges of the Supreme Court be selected for
a term of years, instead of for life, was laid on
the table by vote of SO to IS.
Late news from Santa Fe, legislative proceed
ings, Sc, SC. will be found among our despatch

OBsEoUIEs OF THE Hon. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.
We give in our columns to-day, an extremely
accurate and interesting account of the obsequies
of the late Hon. John Quincy Adams, in his ma
tive place, the town of Quincy, formerly Brain
tree. Inasmuch as we knew that these obsequeis
would be attended by all the relatives and neigh
bors ofthe ilustrious deceased, and by the autho-
rites and citizens of that town, and as thought
they would be different from the snowy specla-
cles here and elsewhere, and of most solemn
and melancholy character, we despatched re-
porter there, specially to furnish report of
them, and the result Of his labors will be found
in this days paper. We are sure the account
will be read with melancholy interest by the
public generally.

ENGLAND AND CupA.-There can be little doubt
that the recent speech Of Lord George Ben
timex, in the British Parliament, in relation to
England seizing the island OF Cuba, was intend
ed as a sort of feeer, to ascertain whether such
an act would be tolerated or justified by the Uni
ted States; and we are surprised that the subject
has not been referred to by Congress in some
way other. Its neglect to do so may perhaps
have been caused by the debates and agitation
on the treaty with Mexico; but now that that
matter is disposed of, we hope that this very i'm
porant subject will not be passed over in silence.
The United States and Cuba are geographically
situated that the former could not tolerate the
ownership OF the latter being transferrt to any
of the great European powers. With the own
ership of that island vested in England, that
naughty and imperious power would possess
control over this country Of most tremendous
nature. With the improve ments aud discove-
ries in ocean steam navigation, and with her
immense navy, she could exercise complete con-
troll over the whole of the commerce OF the Uni
ted States, and compel us to be continually in
dread of her naval power, or to reconstruct our
navy on scale that would enable il to cope with
hers. Self.preservation, the first law of nature,
seems to demand that we should not tolerate the
transfer of that island to any European power,
and to insist, that if Spain has any intention of
parting with it, that she shall transfer it to the
United States Congress, We hope, will soon
give their attention to the matter. What
is best to be done, they best know; but
tor Ourself, we think it would be Judi
cious for Congress, the war-maklng pow
or, to pass unanimously, if possible, reso-
ton requesting the President of the United
States, through our Minister, to inform the Spa
nish government, in solemn manner, that the
transfer of the Island of Cuba to the British CO.
vsrnment, with the view of permanently pos
sessing it, under any pretence whatever, will be
looked upon by the government and people of the
United States as just cause of war, and direct
ing, also, copy of the same to be transmitted to
the British government through our Minister in
London. If such a resolution as this were passed
with any degree of unanimity, we think it would
have the effect desired. England, in the present
state of affairs in Europe, would dread war
with the United States. She may be prepared
for war with France, which she expects to be
engaged in one of these days but war with
the United States would derange her plans, and
would be avoided as long as possible.
1t is to be hoped that now, as the treaty is dis
posed of, Congress will take some proper action
on this important matter.

WASHINGTON. March 1S-5l p. M

WASHINGTON, March 13-5t P. NJ.
We learn from official authority, that the
President will nominate Mr.. Sewer as the COM
missioner to Mexico, and not Mr.. McLane, with
the treaty and that he will resign his seat in
the Senate tomorrow, with view to the &C
ceptance of the new appointment.
If three commissioners, however, be appoint
ed, Mr.. McLane and one wing may be included !;
and the WING may try to have a voice in the
matter of the final ratification of the treaty.
A Minister will be required at Mexico, fact
of which Mr.. Sewer has been appraised.
