Diplomatic Gambling and Evasion.

The National InhHigeneer denies

charge daaes, have had any correspondence relative to
the King Of Mosquito; and
I'd. That Mr. Clayton and Lord Palmerston, the Brit

AS to this matter, Mr. Clayton has addressed letter

for Foreign Affairs, relative to NJ. Poussin, although
the American legation Paris has not far have

pretend to gainsay the National Integeneer, for we
do not profess know the particulars Of the Mosquito
controversy. Our information is derived from current
and credited reports; but we are confident that there
has been hpsly and sharp correspondence between
Mr. Clayton and the British government relative to the
pretended King Of Mosquito and the English claims
on the Mosquito coast We do not believe that either
the Secretary Of State the National Inteigen will
directly deny the correctness Of our information, how
ever much they may be disposed to suade il. That
correspondence may, in the opinion Of Mr. Clayton and
his organ, be neither angry discredtable Others
may regard it in different light and, if we are not too
troublesome. we would ask the National Ineiiigencr to
say plainly whether any such correspondence has taken
place without reference TO the dramats persona And il

will permit would be glad to know the particulars Of
that correspondence.

MT. Poussin.

No paper has been more decided in its appreciation OF
Mr. Secretary Clayton, and in its opposition to M. Pous
sin, than the New York Courier We cannot, therefore,
but give il some credit for the following article:
Major Poussin late minister from the French republic
Washington, is in this city, where he will await the
orders OF his government We know that regrets
more than himself the unhappy misunderstanding which
arisen between himself and the government Of the Uni
ted States Having been for years ardent admirer Of
the American character and people, as well as Of our
iical institutions, and having made himself familiar with
them during former protracted residence here, he had
looked upon official residence here as In some Bort
restoration to old friends and TO country which he
sdered half his home and he had cherished with strong
the hope that he would be able to bring the two
countries into still closer and mutually advantageous rea
ions Of reciprocal friendship.
In the which has given rise TO the rupture, we
dersand that he claims to have simply followed the in
uctons Of his government while he frankly acknowl
edges that his entire want Of familiarity with diplomatic
FORMS and lack OF proper attention to the language and
OF his correspondence have occasioned the
which he has, much to his chagrin and modification
unfortunately been betrayed. He discaims, however, in
the most explicit and emphatic manner, all thought OF
offering insult intentional dsrespect the government
Of the United States, to any member Of It's executive,
He expresses Also the fullest confidence that sentiments
Of the French government and especially of the French
people, towards the United States Of the friendly
characters and deems mpossble that any serious or pro-
raced rupture should take place between the two
tries.
We understand that previous to leaving Washington he
made repeated efforts have interview with the Presi-
dent and Secretary Of State and that for this purpose the
friendly services of Mr. CHAMPION the British charge
ntcrposed They unsuccessful, however, neither
General Taylor Mr. Clayton thought IL proper, after the
steps that had already been aken hold any intercourse
which might become Of official character with M. Pous-
sin.
We have received the same impressions from various
quarters. The New York Courier has done nothing but
justice to M. Poussins feelings On every account this
whole affair is deeply regretted. whilst il is calculated to
do very little honor American diplomacy in the eyes Of
the world.

No end to the Deception and Hypocrisy Cabinet

No Deception Hypocrisy OF the Cabinet.
Shortly after General Taylor was inaugurated, and
when it necessary for the interests of the despos OF
Europe, then engaged in mighty struggle with the peo-
pie, make great camor about the neutrality of this
country in that great conflict for feedom the organs OF
the administration everywhere proclaimed that General
Taylor had caused to be sent to all foreign ministers
copies OF Washington's Farewell Address We remem.
Der to have it in the correspondence of the Ba
more Sun, and in other wing papers; and
are not sure that the statement not made
or both Of the organs published in this city twas part
of the miserable humbuggey and cant resoed to by the
cabinet to convince the people that General Taylor
was "man of peace" while they-the members of the
cabine-were treacherously playing into the hands Of
the despos of Europe and lending them their assistance
in putting down the people, by constantly holding out to
the latter that they could expect countenance SYM
pathy from the American government, because its policy
was neutrality" Even Gen. Taylor himself was put
up the work Of proclamng this miserable cant about
peace In his late cholera in Pennsylvania he de-
clared according TO the letter writers his ran that he
was 'emphatcaly man of peace" Now that the peo-
pie of Europe are prostrate and the despots have m
umphed new tone is be held forth to the American
people The National Intelgeneer comes forward and
denies that Washngton's Address has been sent to
our foreign ministers, and meany nsnuaes that the
story originated with the democratic press; which, if
it was well informed, it knew utterly false; and
the whole wing kennel now set up hue and cry
about the valor and courage of the administration.
That valor consists in sending out expedition to
put down revolution in Cuba, while the admin
istration submits gross national insult, involved in
criminal invasion of soil. The cabinet also show
their vaor by quareing away the only democratic min
ister from foreign power while it degrades itself by
soliciting unnierrupon of intercourse WITH and the
appointment OF minister from, the power which it
pretends has grossly nsued government by not
calling its minister for the acts complained Of Humbug
gerry fasehood, and folly the great agents and
pedens by which the present cabinet are fast achieving
an Immortality of rdicule and contempt.

on which the South relied 10 the members Of his cabinet
and the chief places in that cabinet have been given moi
to eminent in the wing party but to gentlemen Of
comparatively inferior reputation and contracted
in their views, and bitter and vindctve in their feelings
who hold the dangerous views Of sectional faction and
who WELD their immense patronage 10 carry the dis
organizing purposes OF William H. Seward and Thomas
Ewing. Messrs Johnson, Preston, and Crawford are in
the cabinet but there is power patronage, or nhu
ence conRded TO them Mr., Thomas Ewing, sustained
by Mr. Jacob Colamer the supporter and advocate OF
Colts resolution, controls, by the immense patronage
at his disposal, Messr Meredith and Clayton, and is
virtually the President Of the United States Months
ago we warned the people that Ewing and Collamer-
coming from the section Of the Unionentertainn
the same misunderstanding the same bitter and vindic-
tive feelngs-and welding the great bulk Of the patron
age OF the government would inevitably coalesce that
the Secretary of State would be forced to sustain them
that Mr. Meredith would naturally go with them; and
that Messrs. johnson, Preston, and Crawford would
have comparatively little power or influence over the
conduct of the administration The coalition which we
prophesed has taken place, and it has been attended
with the consequences which we foretold No man
here In Washington believes that General Taylor has
any practical influence over the government; and every
man that his administration bears the impress OF
Thomas Ewing, and not of Zachary Taylor.
The surrender by General Taylor OF his high duties
irresponsible cabal, and his pertnacous refusal to
trust the people by plainly expressing his opinions,
enough to drive the people from his support The
time has gone by when the people should listen to those
who with honeyed accents tell them they should put conf
dence in General Taylors administration That admin.
sraion is in the hands Of irresponsible They have
violated every pledge which General Taylor made and
they have rodden under foot his promises of moderation
and forbearance. They have usurped power which did
aot belong to them. They have, by party cruelty, in
creased party vndictveness and by unprecedented pro-
scripon, and by bestowng Office on unworthy and in
competent without regard to the good OF the people,
they have brought confusion into the public service,
while they have sown the seeds of bitterness in every
quarter Of the country We therefore respond to the
ukase of the National Intellgeneer; and appeal to
the good people OF Maryland to rebuke the fraud which
has been practised the people, and to withdraw their
confidence from President who conceas his sentiments
from them, and yields up his high duties an rrespon-
sible cabal.
