Diplomatic Affairs, &c.
OUR SPECIAL TELEGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE.
WASHINGTON CITY !

OtR SFESiAi< SohhEsfoNpENIE'
WASHINGTON CITY,
Menday Evening, January Is, 1850.
The resolution of General Foote, to-day, relating
to the re-establishment of diplomatic intercourse
with the Germanic confederation, is said to meet
Affairs. Mr.. Clayton abolished this mission in
order 10 reach Major Donelson without offending
the Senate.
The Austrian resolution Of General Cass was
superseded by the fugitive slave bill The amend
ment of Mr.. Seward secured him another lecture
from General Foote, with which the Senate and
the galleries were highly delighted
In executive session, to-day, Col Webb was up
for short time. We have no doubt of his reec-
ton, except as to the day 1t may be tomorrow.
Major Tochman received letter from Europe
this morning, informing HIM that publications were
made In the newspapers of Austria and Gallicia,
that M. Bodlsco has actually been recalled.
The heirs of Kosciusko were authorized TO execute
power of attorney in Major Tochman's name, to
recover Koscusko's estate in Washington. This
shows that M. Bodisco had no warrant for his in
reference with Major Tochman.
The report of the mint directors of the four mnts
of Philadelphia, New Orleans, -, N. c., and
Dahlonega, Geo, states that the whole amount
of precious metals received reached Sl4, sos, ,493,
of which sl2,2i3 l75 was gold, and q, 2,366, ,2ss
in silver. The whole amount coined was gil ,l6l,-
695, Of which 5000, ,76l were gold, S2,ll4,95O
in silver, and 81, 1874 in copper coin. The num-
ber Of gold dollars coined Is S936,7s9. The
amount of California gold received at Philadelphia
was $5,lsl ,439; at New Orleans, s666, In
Is4s, at Philadelphia, ~, ,l77-total California
gold received at all the mInts, s6,25 ,2ss 1t ap-
pears that in ls47, the gold received at the mints
amounted to within fraction of $2O,OOO, ,OOO or
about $7,50O,0O0 above last years receipts, not
wiihsanding the Importation from California.
p. S.-I learn, from good authority, that Mr..
Bodisco has been recalled from Washington by
the Emperor Nicholas.

the control Of the federal and the States
had refused to allow their officers to give such AID In

clusion he hoped the bill would pass It was the only
peacesble remedy that suggested Itself to him. and

OF her way by which the South could secure re-
dress for the great loss which her people sustained In
the intentional failure by the North to execute its fe
deral obligations.
MIR. SEWARD gave notice Of a substitute for the BILL
providing in effect the legal remedy and process
fer the escaped slave, the white citizen Is allowed in
controversy relative to the ownership Of property
which was received.
Mr. FeorE addressed the Senate against the printing
OF the not because he objected to printing
In the abstract but because he had regard for the
putaton Of the Senator from New York-sym pathy for
whom compelled him to protest against putting in
print and sending forth to the country proposition
which must redound so infinitely to the dscredi Of its
mover Mr. Foote proceeded, tor some time, with ad-
Senator.
MIR. SEWARD stated that Mr.. Chase, who had been
called from his seat by the intelligence Of a do.
mestc desired to address the Senate upon
this bill In order to give him the opportunity he sug-
gested that the further Of the subject be
postponed until to- morrow.
Mr.. DAYTON being ready to proceed with statement
OF his objection to the bill took the floor hut yielded
to motion to proceed to the consideration Of
tive business which adopted, aud the Senate
after adjourned.

the destruction Of Mr Warner, was postponed
yesterday, and has been set down for to-day.
This is only the beginning Of a series of trials. in

A number OF indictments, embracing various indi.
vlduals, some for attempts to kill, others to assas-

Singuariy enough, in this list is Mr.. Maxwelps
own son but this we suppose Is for Buncombe. 1t
Is well known that NJ. NJ. Noah, the editor of
Sunday newspaper Of small circulation, and Robert
G.. White, lounger and critic Of the Opera House,
connected with some similar paper, besides others
now at Washington, occupy sinecures at the Gus
tom House Of this city; and yet we mention
made Of the removal Of such excrescences. Many
OF the persons removed are able and competent
men. Why, then, does Mr. Maxwell retain those
who ill merely sinecure places, and dismiss useful,
good men Ough, he not to make better seec-
tion for removal 7 We are glad to see, however,
that real reform and retrenchment have COM
menced. We are persuaded, from information we
have received, that all the business Of the Custom
House might be conducted for half the expense il
has cost within the last few years; and that seec.
ton Of men performing their duties like other men
Of business IN the city, would, though it were half
the present number, easily accomplish the whole
routine OF this establishment.
Many Of the recent doings and removals in the
Custom House have been perpetraied by the Col
lector and Secretary, in consequence OF pet with
Congress. Let Congress keep them at their work
and stick pin there.
