Secretary of the Board of Mexican Com
missioners has been previously announced,
will leave this city, in few days for Cali

The RECOGNITION OF HrNc.rr, we
stated few days ago, was the subject OF
memorial, embodied in resolution passed
at public meeting held in New York city
some few weeks since, and addressed to
the President of the United States. The
Secretary of State has returned the follow
ing answer to one Of the officers of the
meeting in question:
Sir:-I am requested by the President to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter to
him OF the 9th inst, and the printed ac-
count of the proceedings of the meeting OF
the Hungarians and others in New York.
These proceedings had not escaped atten-
ton,
The government and people of this coun-
try are profoudly inter' sted in the events
which are now passing in Hungary, and
all information calculated to throw light
on the present struggle between that coun-
try and Austria and Russia, cannot fail to
be welcome,
1t is the policy and practice of the Uni
ted States to recognise all governments
which exhibit to the world proofs of their
power to MAINTAIN themselves. IfHunca-
ry sustains herself in this unequal contest,
there is no reason why we should not rec
ognize her independence.
Congress, it is believed, would sanction
such measure, and this government would
be most happy in that event, to enter COM
mercial as well as diplomatic relations with
independent Hungary.
lam, respectfully, your obedient servant,
JOHN Nj. CLAYTON.

Letters from San Francisco, to May the
18th, one day later than previous accounts,
have been received at Boston, via NIazat-
Ian Tie market was overstockcd with
many descriptions of goods, which were
selling at low rates. Some dozen vessels
We're daily expected from the Celestial
Empire.
The charges for storage and landing
goods were enormous; from 3 to 81 per
month was charged storage, and to IS
per ton for landing goods. The anchor
age was crowded with vessels, and others
were arriving daily. Some hundreds more
were expected in August. Many articles
OF merchandise could be purchased from
80 to SO per cent. discount on the invoice.
Building materials, principally house
frames, complete, boats of good descrip-
tons, and carts, with every thing COM
plete, would do well-Proyision and
clothing were abundant and cheap-Lum-
Der was worth $500 per thousand feet, and
scarce at that. Large portions of the in
habitants in San Francisco were madly
gambling in land.
New towns were being laid out in dif-
tereut spots around the bay, and building
lots, in wilderness sites, were selling at
from 800 to $4,000 each.
San Francisco was full Of people, and it
IS not an uncommon thing for twenty or
thirty individuals to occupy one small a.
partment; the tents about the town are in
numerably crowded. Rooms twenty feet
square let from $500 to $500 per annum.
Building lots, worth two years since 5000,
now sell for $4,000.
The gold dust this season had not been
dug out very freely, owing to the swollen
state OF the streams; but no doubts were en-
tertalned but that as much would be gath
cred this year as last as the number of la
BOXERS this season exceeded those Of the
previous one.
AT the mines, as yet, matters remain We
ry qulet-but fears are entertained that ere
long there will be serious disturbances be-
tween our countrymen and the Mexicans
as some six thousand of the latter have
arrived IN the country and evinced most
turbulent disposition. You may rest assur-
ed, however, that should any important
catbreaks take place they will be shot doun
TO man.
News has just been received, that six
men in twenty days, near the Feather Rlv-
er, procured sinty thousand dollars! in gold
dust.
The ship Grey Eagle, from Philadelphia,
J. c. Fremont, from Baltimore, the Hun
trees, from Valparaiso, and another ship,
have just arriyed-and thus they pour in
almost daily. There are upwards of sew
enty square rugged vessels now in port, and
number of small craft. The Hortcnsia
sailed from this port to-day for Mazatlan.

Hungary and Austria.

An official Bulletin has been received
by the Austrian Government, announ-
cling The compulsory retirement of the
Hungarlans from Raab. They are SAID
to have retired towards Acs previous to
the capture of the city. Georgy, by de
clinihg battle at Raab, and continuing
bis retreat towards Gran, will impose up
on the Austrian army the necessity of
leaving some 10000 men before Como
"a, nevertheless Georgy would never
have abandoned Raab except with the in
tention Of detaching a potion Of mis-
force against Paskeatach.
A rumor prevailed in Paris and gain
cd considerable currecy in the Assembly,
that the Hungarians had obtained an i'm
mense advantage over the Russians, who
are said 10 have lost ten thousand men
Of Fiume.
A conspiracy against Austria had been
discovered, and a desperate battle was
fought on the 10Th ut between the Hun
gar'ans and insurgents IN the nelghbor-
hood OF Calascue and Muglenuelelns, be

g. The speech of Hon. JAMES WILSON,
in our paper to-day, will be read with much
interest by all who, loving the great principles
of Freedom which it manfully defends, can
appreciate eloquence of a truly spirit-stirrine
kind. Mr.. Wilson is sterling Wing, and
one of the most prominent members of the
House. Of this speech, the National Era, the
"Liberty" organ at Washingtor,) from whose
report we copy, says:
"We never listened to speech in the House
which seemed to produce more effect than
that made by General Wilson, of New IIamp
shire, last Friday. Read the report though
no report can do justice to his imprisoned
manly oratory."

CLOSING HOURS OF CONGRESS.

The main business of the Session, aside
from talking, was accomplished, as usual, du-
ring the last day and night previous to the f.
nal adjournment of Congress. Speaking of
this period of the session, the Tribune says :;
The main features of the proceedings are,
in the Senate, the bill passed for the coinage
of Gold Dollars and Double Eagles; the de-
feat of the House amendment TO confne the
appointment of Surveyors of the Line be-
tween the United States and Mexico to the
Typographical Corps; the passage OF bill IN
troduced by Mr.. Breese providing for the
translation and publication of the Spanish and
Mexican Laws of California in effect at the
time of the Treaty; passing the House bill
providing for taking next Census the passage
of the Home Department bill, after very an
mated opposition, by 81 to % ; the recession
from its Cherokee amendment to the Civil BILL
the killing of the Branch Mint in New York
by the operation of the rules on Mr.. Surgeons
objection the passage Of the General Appro-
priation bill, after long contest with the House
to fix, and finally taking back, Mr.. Walkers
amendment; and last and most shameful OF all,
the scandalous exhibition Of personal rem
contre between Mr.. Cameron, of Penn, and
Foote, of Miss.-a family quarrel, indeed, but
one which must inhict deep humiliation upon
the whole people. We had hoped that such
ruflian exhibitions might be confined to the
other wing of the Capitol at least, where they
were not long since an almost weekly occur
renee.
In the House, the New York Mint bill was
passed, to no purpose, however the Naval APP
preparation bill went through slightly amend
ed the amendment to fix che 10th of March
for the day of effect of the Minnesota bill was re-
coded from, and the appointment of all officers
under the bill placed at Mr.. Folks discretion
| by a vote of los to 20 the District Slave
Trade was showed by with scarce recognition;
the Walker amendment to the General APP
preparation bill was disagreed to, 10 to iO4 !;
concurring with the Senate to establish Board
for Mexican claims Extra Compensation to
Clerks, &C., went through with rush; hun
dred conflicting motions were made, fight a.
la-Foote was got up between Messrs. Root,
Giddings, Meade and others, and finally, at 6
3-4 Sunday morning, the XXXth Congress
came to stormy end.

GEN. SHIELDS AND MR. BREEsE.-Our
readers are probably aware, that an i'll vino
has been blowing TO and fro between Gen.
Shields and Senator Breese of ILL.,, for some
lime. The difficulty arose from the fact that
Gen. Shields was put in nomination for The

have done, what he could 10 prevent the
Generals success. General Shields has re-

Mr.. HANNEGAN.-The Geographic re-
port of Mr.. Hannegan's appointment to
Berlin is not confirmed by any thing La
ter. Still, it may be true. The story
that several Wing Senators solicited the
President to make the nomination is nom
sense. We should like to see the names
of the Wing Senators who made any such
request. That Mr.. Hannegan is a strong
Locofoco, that he was one Of the most
active managers in the Baltimore Conven.
ton, and that he is hostile TO the whole
policy of the new administration, are rea>
sons sufficient why he should be viewed
with no favor by those Senators upon
whom the administration must rely for
support in its most confidential relations.
But these are light objections compared
with those which must strike every pru-
dent man who has watched Mr.. Hanne-
gan's course. His Incorporate views up-
on questions of foreign policy, his course
on the Oregon question, and on the Mex
lean war. all point him out as one Of the
last men who should be entrusted with d.
plomatic functions. He is certainly one
