WAsBrEGToE, Jan s, s50.--In my letter which
appears In the Sun Of Monday the types do injustice
70 remark Complimentary to Mr. Foote'S Teplyto
Gov. Seward. The sentence, as written, was
" Mr.. foose, in his .sseeils11t speeek-grave as K
was IN irony and keen in SATIRE ETC.. but as print
ed, the words are tortured into some execsable and
unmeaning phrase.
The-debate on Gen Cass' resolutions upon the
suspension of diplomatic relations with Austra, con
tnues to be very able and interesting.
Mr.. Foote spoke to-day, and argued, In reply to
Mr.. Clay, that in Withdrawing our minister, we
gave cause of offence to Austria, but merely
pressed our sympathy with those who have suffered
under Austro- Russian oppression. He also stated
that the President had not only suspended but sup
pressed the mission to Central Germany. and under
circumstances which did not authorize the supposi-
ton that that government would fail to be estab-
lished and that it was our duty, while we sus-
pended relations with imperial Austria, to rensfate
them with Central Germany. whereby we should
realize all the advantages and many more that were
derivable from the mission to Austria without giv-
ing any offence to that power.
Mr.. Lawrences dinner speech, as well the tone
Of the message, and the rUaaored disappointment Of
the ministers now here from New Granada and Nj
caragua, in expectation, which they had formed OF
obtaining aid from this government, convince me
that thus government has not been correctly repre-
sented by Mr.. Squier II is now quite certain that
the administration will nterpose no further than to
secure the neutrality Of the canal and railroad routes
1t appears also that Sir III. Bulwer is undoubtedly
charged with the adjustment Of thiEKmaiter far
as Great Britain is concerned. This will probably
| result in speedy arrangement
notice in the correspondence Of the Albion, q
rumor that the Earl of Elgin is soon to return to
England, and that he is probably to be succeeded
| as Govenor-General, by Sir H. Bulwer.
The eighth Of January has passed Oft without
any special notice from Congress. In the time Of
Gen. Jackson's power and patronage, the day was
observed National day. But still Congress has,
in past times rendered due homage to the character
of Gen. Jackson. They expunged the resolution
censuring hun for removing the depostes; and the
great Expunger is still Senator and ready to Vn-
! dicate the act. They refunded the fine imposed
| upon him by the Louisiana Judge; and they gave
the site for the Equestrian statue, to be erected, in
his honor, in Lafayette Square and also contributed
the appropriate material for the statue-to wit the
| brass cannon which Gen Jackson captured at New
Orleans. learn that the statue will soon be com
pleted, and that it will be work highly creditabe
to the memory Of the llustrous General, and to the
fame of the artist, Mr. Clark Mills.
The House cannot readily elect Clerk. | do
not how Mr.. Forney can be elected, unless
some few Of the wings will decline voting. The
wings cannot rally on Mr. Foot, OF Vermont OF
any one else. II the seven free-soilers vote fol
him, will only serve to repel the support Of some
of the southern wings. The democrats will adhere
to MIR. Forney, and the wings are content to let the
matter stand, because the whig incumbeHts hold
over. An attempt will be made tomorrow to adopt
the plurality rule Ion.
