IMPORTANT RUMoRs FROM WAsHISGToN.-We
have heard for several days. that President Fillmore
and portion of the cabinet, want to get rid of Mr.
Webster; and from the complexion of recent art-
Giles coming from the Washington correspondent of
the Colgie- and Enquirer and North Ansaicla, we
rather think Mr.. Clayton the ex-Secretary of
State, who is now in Washington, wants to get

and the Hungarian patriots his companions from con-
fnement BY compact existing between Austria and
Tursy the latter power charged with. and accepted
the surveillance Of these unfortunate exiles numbering
several hundreds but finding the expense of their

leased from the incumbrance
Permission granted in reference to all except
Kossuth and eight or ten others This decision was
neated before intelligence reached Vienna
cling the recent action OF our government An ur-
appeal will be addressed to Austria this subject
The ArchDuke, the brother Of the Emperor. who is to
command the Austrian navy, will visit the United States
in the course Of the year to examine public yards
and modes Of naval construction and doubtless make
himself acquainted with the character institutions
generally.
The public in regard to the apprchended Cuban
invasion greatly exaggerated. No doubt project

by telegraph from all the federal officers in the South

ton, the Nicaragua question will be immediately taken
up by the cabinet England has committed violations OF
the convention so recently agreed upon and soennly
ratified by her: aud the British Ambassador succeeded
in getting Squiers treaty with Nicaragua with the mod
fcaons proposed by Gen Taylor administration, laid
on the table in the Senate
This lost ground be recovered and that modified
treaty must be confirmed all the rights and Interests of
the United states in Central America will be sacrificed to
Britain. There has been too much neglect concession
already Chatheld should have been sent home when
MIR Squier recalled

at Mexico, who sent TO Hayti TO unite with the
Brtifh French agents in concentrating govern
men Of the island in soulouque has been snubbed by his
cable hghnes Strange that there should have been
hesitation in recognizing the government Of Liberia and
yet so much Willingness to follow foreign examples in San
Domingo. General Taylors policy to encourage the
Don inieans against the Iaytens-whites against blacks
republicans against imperiists-and make soulouque

the Buffalo 4dretser late U. s. Charge to Bogota will
take the editorial desk of the Republic ar
rang, ments 10 that end being now in progress.
The awards 81 the Mexican Commissioners have caused
much dissatisfaction. and Congressional inquiry Is
threatened by the disappointed claimants Some queer
awards were made, and some queerer rejections.
Sir Henry Buwer, the British Ambassador arrived In
Washington this evening am authorized to say that
the paper published in Boston n the CLl, purportng
to be- intercepted despatch from Sir Henry to Lord
Palmerston, l. a base forgery.
We should not be surprised TO see an explosion
in the cabinet before six weeks are past and gone.
Stars Of the second magnitude do not like stars Of
the FIRST. Daniel Webster was too towering a man
for Tyler-so he is for Fillmore Mr.. Fillmore
wants to set up his own nine pins.
