Correspondence OF the sal,imor. Sun.
WASHINGTON, Feb. II, 1850.

us the true version Of the late proceedings in
reference to the Nicaragua question; yet several
writers have dogmatized upon the subject.
The state of the affair is this Mr.. Lawrence
was charged with the negotiation in England,
and he carried out the original propositions and
as far the state OF the matter was
understood at that time. He was subsequent
iy instructed on: other questions arising out Of
Mr.. Chatfeld's proceedings. But Mr.. Lawrence
become i'll and the negotiation was suspended.
Mr.. Clayton undertook to press it here and
upon Sir Henry Bulwer, who disclaimed entire
" any power or any instructions on The SUI.
iect He WIS willing, however, to receive i
proposition and without giving his own sanction
to them, to transmit them to his government and
await instructions, Mr.. Clayton accordingly and
perhaps, unadvisedly, showed his whole hand
to one who had disclaimed all authority. What
people call treaty, is letter that Mr.. Clay
ton wrote to the British Minister, and which
was sent out TO England by him, somewhere
about the beginning of the present month. . The"
day on which the dispatch went out was s'cor.
rectly stated in the Sun, and New York Tri-
bune and Express - =
On the subsequent Saturday.. Mr. Clayton
brought the subject before the Cabinet, ,with-a
view to continuation OF his course. Bat othe'
Cabinet did not coincide in his views. The
meeting adjourned till the next day, Sunday
last, and after much discussion, the acts of Mr..
Clayton were not confirmed. So stands the.
matter, Mr. Clayton Is, whether justly or not,
much incensed, and has even talked of resign.
ing, But have no idea that lie will resign.

The Boston Transcript has the following
laughable article on the subject of female suf.:

the unterrifed democracy, and, for the first time
in their lives, will vote in pink muslin frocks at

by Mr. Garrison, aud Abby looking in ut the
