WASHINGTON, Sept. %.
The In,elligencer. of Sept 22d, curtains in long
editorial. abored defence of Mr. CLAYTON; but, from
the style and subject matter of the urlcle doubt
whether the experienced and able pen OF the editn Of
thai paper had more TO do with il than writing the
introduction. 1t is there stated. in mitigation of Mr.
ClOytcn's rude and undplomatc summons to Mr..
Poussln, to repair "wiihuut unnecessary delay tn
Washington, that, in the years 1916, 1882 1912,

ment, to the representatives of foreign powers in The
United States, requesting them 10 reside al Tie seat of
government, To which the writer riumphnniy adds,
"Mr. Clnytons circular 10Th of May, leI9) had been
received and acknowledged by Mr. Poussin.'' This
is perfect counterpart 10 Sir Patrick O'Tlenpo in
''the Irish Ambassador" Dir. ClaytUn's circular,
dated May 9Th, 1S49 had been received and acknuwl-
edged, ,chent Before Mr. Poussin summoned To
Washington! Certainty not; for Mr.. Cluytun's sum-
mons to Poussn bears date April 2lst. IL is never
thelcsa adduccd apology for MIR. Claytnn's M
civil note to Mr.. Poussin written. When such
defences set up TO justify the conduct Of Secre-
tary, there must indeed be something wrong in it,
no recourse would be had TO such devices. Let us
hope, nevertheless. that Sir Patrick OPenipo,
who has handsomely bungled into difficulty,
will equally as handsomely bungle out Of it; ap-
pealing TO nothing but risibe faculties for an
appreciation of his conduct
II would really if Mr.. Claytons defence
were worse than his offence and that it may iniurt
official relations in other quarters. If, il:
reaching Europe securities decline the stocl
exchange, it will not be because war between the
United States and France is apprehended. but because
such proceedings in diplomacy may trouble peace

WASHINGTON, Sept 30, IS49.
II was hoped that after the official denial of any
interference by Government with British preten-
sions in regard to Nicaragua and the Mosquito king
dom, the matte. would be considered al rest The
denial, though true in form, is regarded by many as
evasive in substance. There diplomatic reasons
for direct correspondence with the British Govern
ment on the subject, instead Of appealing to the
Charge here. But in quarters supposed 10 be well
advised, it is represented, that this government
has taken its stand against the claims Of Great Brit
ain, though no correspondence is to take place until
after the arrival of Mr.. Bulwer. 1t is greatly to be
feared therefore, that the government is prepared to
run a diplomatic tilt on this question.
1t a subject of congratulation that there would
be no more 'fiy5our Jorties," no unreasonable de-
mands. mndc only to be backed out from. In this
case, there would be another backing out, unless
were prepared TO enforce our demands by war.
If M. Clayton has, many believe, advised the
British Government that the United States will not
ncquesce in her pretensions it is hoped he will there
drop the matter.

SENATOR WHITcoMB.-On Friday last we had the
pleasure of taking by the hand u S. Senator, Ex
Gov. WhitcOmb, who had just arrived, after long
detention at the east in consequence of sickness 1t
gives unfegned pleasure to that the Governor
deems his health better than ii has been for some
years past. Not that it is fully restored; bu, that
from skilfu treatment, there better evidence Of its
final re-establishment. His improved appearance
seems fully to justify his antcipatious; and hope
the State will realize, in his abors in Congress, on
amount of good proportionate in his higher sphere,
that which it obtained under his administration as
Chief Executive of the State.
