WASHINGTON, January l6.-I have no doubt |
that the Austrian Mission will be discontinued |
but not upon the ground assumed by Gen Cass of |
an international censorship. We have too many
representatives abroad, in diplomatic character
Some two years ago, Mr.. Clay, Senator de-
cared that they ought to be diminished in number,
and he might have added, increased in ability.
The thirst for office, which it is fashionable to
rebuke, is exhibited more decidedly and more mis-
chevously in regard to diplomatic appointments
than any other.
As to the Hungarians, we should give them as
much land as they can occupy, and hearty wei
come. As to the Austrian Mission, it was got by
the Maryland Tobacco Convention, and Congress
was urged to establish it with view to obt4ining
reduction Of the rate of duties tobacco.
No benefit, however, resulted from the measure,
and there is pretext for mission at Vienna.
A call upon the President for information to
the state OF the question involved in Central Amer
| affairs, will, no doubt, be made. 1t is
not probable that there is any thing in the matter
\ that will require secrecy. The negotiations with
| the British Minister supposed TO be very near
/ TO favorable conclusion, by which the Oceanic
| nal will be commenced if practicable, when the
| funds are ready and under the joint guarantee Of
Great Britain, the United St1tes, and the States OF
I'Central America. :
You will see that Mr.. Bentons bill for reducing
| the boundaries of Texas and creating new State
therein etc., has been introduced The bill allows
Texas fifteen millions for the proposed cesson OF
| her territory, beyond the 102do of west longitude
Mr.. Foote has also introduced his bill creating
| Territorial Governments, and admitting California
and portion OF Texas new States. The whole
subject is therefore, likely to come up for de-
| liberation and discussion.
There has been learn very full and most
cited meeting at Richmond this subject. The
Capitol 1t is said, was never more crowded
The spirit of resistance everywhere awakened at
the South, is higher at the Capital Of the Old Do
minion than any where else. Congress cannot
safely adjourn without settling this question in
some permanent way. 1t is t late to trfe with
it Or force any temporizlng measures.
The South viii proceed this winter to retaliatory
measures, have doubt.
The passage of the bill for the recovery of fugi-
tive slaves will be strong step towards concilla-
tion. The views OF the Northern men on that bill
have not been made known.
| The Hungarans continued their visits to-day TO
public buildings and places, in company with Col.
Seaton. The Presidents reply to their address is
very appropriate, and its sentiments VIII be re-
echoed by the American people.

Tic House and its 0foers-Gen Cass and The Prouis0

The House is not yet completely organized, ant
there seems 10 be no prominent candidate as Ye
either for door keeper postmaster, unless be h'
old incuHbents We shall get ready, however, il
the course of this week, and then the work will
commence in good earnest.
General Cass is prepared to give his views TO the
Senate and the country on the subject of the Viii
| mot proviso, and will make great speech on thu
y question, probably early next week. No man il
the country has studied that subject more than Gen
Cass; none has equal experience with him, in re
gard 10 territorial governments. Gen. Cass is al
accomplished scholar and writer, and will, by hi
- | speech, throw more light subject OF deep an
painful interest than all the impassioned oratory

two years.
Mr.. Douglasss resolution for the re- cession of II
District of Columbia, with the exception of the co
porate limits of the city of Washington, seems
be quite popular in Georgetown, where people a

tropolitan, national pride among the " first circl
here, which will never consent TO being provincial

Marsees Mr.. Douglass resolutions very CA
tously worded in that respect, and will meet wi

MIR. Benton to-day brought in his bill for the ce
