From Xvnshington-Ycsterday.

Our telegraphic dispatches, up TO late hour last
night, from the metropolis, are not startling but
they are vcry interesting, on variety of points.
The politicians the papers, the parties and persons,
OF all kinds, are gradually taking their new posi-
hons, rendered necessary in the coming game in
national politics. The mysteries about the cabinet
and Congress, are gradually unfolding their form
and shape 10 the public.
The cabinet still laying their oars in part.
The "Washington Rcpubiic," since the expulsion
Of the old editors, has been perfectly silent po-
hhcs and pluLder. When will the cabinet be
ready TO talk, and show their hand Are they
waiting for the Galphin erpose! The Mtel,gencr
came out yesterday, for the first time, the pre-
sent crisis, and began to show its hand-it is for
the Presidents plan of settling the slavery ques-
Hon-fhe admission of California alone, and leav-
izg the rest of the territories for future agitation
While the cabinet thus begins to show their
hands, slowly in opposition TO the compromise, we
are glad TO find, coming from another quarter,
more aid to Mr.. Clay. Robt. ]. Walker, formerly
Secretary Of the Treasury under Mr. Polk, and
enc of the ablest that ever occupied that depart
ment, comes out in the Washington Union of yes
ierday, and goes the whole figure in favor Of Mr..
Clay's compromise. There may be hope of set
element yet. James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania,
IN il said has declared in favor of the Missouri
line. Is it possibel He plays trumps with bold
ness-but can il be sol
The Galphn robbery is the principal talk in the
metropolis. This business will create great stir
in Congress, and a great noise throughout the
country. There is a division already, among the
whig-, on its merits-Mr. Brooks, Of this city, op-
poses the speculation-good. Mr.. James G.. King,
fnancier of Wall street, supports the haul OF Mr..
Crawford in the Treasury-of course he does
When did iinancer Of Wall street ever see any
wrong in putting hand into the public treasury,
and helping himself to principal and interest,

MUSEUM.
On Thursday evening large and respectable
audience assembled at the Tabernacle, ostensibly
as a mark Of respect to a well known temperance
advocate. A considerable interest was added TO
the meeting, hy the announcement that Mr.. p. T.

SIR HENRY BULwER's LETTER TO Mr.. CHAR
FIELD--OwrNG Up.--One of our contemporaries,
who generally goes of at half cock, after having
charged our Nicaragua correspondents with for
sery fraud, theft, &c, denying the authenticity Of
the letter we published, addressed by Sir Henry
Bulwer to Mr. Chatiield, has the following para
graph =
Sir Henry Bulwer admits having written the Chat
field letter but the Secretary OF the Treasury
that he intended disrespect to the administra
Express.
Certainly no disrespect was intended by Sir
Henry Bulwer to the administration, or to General
Taylor. We have expressed similar opinions in re-
ference to the conduct of the cabinet We have
called them weak-imbecile, and the whole country
has cheerfully endorsed these opinions. But no
one meant any disrespect to General Taylor; for
we look upon him as the legal administrator, and
the cabinet merely the head clerks, or agents By
the-by, if single letter ef Sir Henry Buwer to Mr.
Chatfeld, can make such a commotion all over the
country, and around Washington, what would be the
consequences were 10 give 10 the world two or
three of similar kind, including correct copies of
the replies written TO Mr. Bulwer in Washington 7
Mr.. Chatfeld's correspondence with Sir Henry,
embracing several letters is uncommonly graphic,
interesting characteristic and amusing, according
TO the information we have received from Central
America We do not despair of being enabled to
furnish another batch of similarscorrespondence
one of these days, which will disclose further
opinions of Sir Henry Bulwer, and perhaps lay open
the wole policy of the British government in Cen
ual America, and all over this continent. Look out
for some disclosures before long.

INTELLIGENCE FROM MoyTEvIDEo-We have re-
ceved files Of the Canmerco del Plata, to the 18th

reduced form, owing, it states, to the destruc-
ton of its forms and type, by gang which broke
into the printing office on the night of the llth
of February, and made terrible havoc in the EDITORS

all the cases, with all the type, to the ground, and
breaking all the forms. The editor leaves the
cause Of this vandal exploit mystery, and gives

These papers are filled with interesting ex-
tracts, translated from the Paris papers, upon the
La Plata question, in which Rosas aad his Licute-
nant, Oribe, come in for share of the i'll odor
which their conduct seems eminently to deserve.
OF news, or other intelligence worth transcribing,
they altogether destitute. To Judge by the
tone and contents Of these papers, Montevideo is
highly hourishing commercial settlement of French,
Spaniards and Italians, enjoying peace, order. and
tranquility, notwithstanding the presence of the
army Of Oribe in the interim, and the occupation of
the whole country Of the Oriental republic by Rosas
and his General, with the single exception Of the
city Of Montevideo. Altogether, this interesting
part Of the world exhibits singular spectacle Of
confusion, political pcrplexity, disorder and dark
ness.

The Condition OF Europe at Present.

Europe is in generally qui-scent state. Yet
there il still much Of feyerish blood, TO give ap-
prehensions for the future. France has been urged
towards democracy, in order TO gain republican
ism. Eugene Sue, and other socialist candidates,
have uiumphed over the party of order at the re-
cent elections. and the hope of Louis Napoleon for
reelection are slender indeed by the general elec.
Aon he will have lost every friend that can
be Of service 10 him, because he will no longer
have the power Of being seryiceable TO them. The
people have been forced, TO ali appearance TO de-
nsnd socialism. while they are learning TO detes,
all notions Of communism, and the other isms OF
ihe redmen Of France, who Wild as any
tribe Of our aborigines, all subjects con-
ncctcd with property. This has been dcae by way
of rebuke 10 the President Of France, WAC has not
come up 60 the desired republican standard.
Perhaps nothing has injured Louis Napoleon
than the movements an Italy for the restoration
of the Pope. Plus the Ninth has returned TO the
holy oi'y, to all nients and purposes, the slave OF
prisoner Of Austria. CsBdnal Antonelli keeps his
Holiness IN subjection, and renders him merely a

is not peace this is not loyalty and the world

NEW MoDE OF REGULATING THE PREss.-One Of
the most remarkable incidents, and perhaps unique,
in the history of this country, is the recent attempt
of the cabinet, through the action of the President
Of the United States to put down the independence
of a newspaper at Washington, and to regulate the
press solely according TO their will and pleasure.
We have never yet seen, in the history of the GO
vemment, such an open and palpable violation of the
independence and liberty of the press; and we are
astonished that it could have been coolly perre-
trated by General Taylor, with or without the ad-
vice Of his cabinet Two editors have been ex-
PEELED from newspaper, merely because they did
not hsrmonize in feelings with the cabinet, and
new one has been appointed-making an exhibition
ofpower the press similar to that which exists
only in Berlin, Vienna, or ST. Petersburg No where
else in the broad L. States, but in Washngton-in
that dirty, mean, corrupt, snowy, agreeable, cheat
ing, gentlemanly, genteel, shabby, and humbug
gng metropolis-could such an act Of intimidation
be pcrpetrated towards the independence and iber-
y Of the press, as that presented to us in the ba-
nishment of Bullet and Bragger, and in the subst-
tuition in their places of talented stick of timber
from the Treasury Department.
