WASHINGTON, April 20.
Mr.. Webster has returned 10 the city IN
improved health, and should think in very
good spirits, alter the lale manifestations oil
public sentiment al the North in favor Of
his course on the Compromise. Those
measures have certainly been made the test
in the wing party in New.York and New
England. The letter Of Mr.. Seward 10 the
Boston agitation meeting. on one hand, and
the language of the New-York letter of
invitation to Mr.. Webster. on the other
hand, have made disinc. line of separa'
ton between the fshy wings and the sound
national whigs, and there are signs that the
latter must prevail or become merged in
national democratic party. The New York
letter 10 Mr.. Webster has five thousand
signatures. and will bel sent on here for
delivery by special messenger. The
language Of the letter is SO strongly con.
demnaiory Of free-soiism that it has given
great offence 10 many Of the wings, who
have tolerated, if not supported. Stewards
doctrines.
The Government has at last determined
10 adopt some strong measures for the sup.
preston OF Indian Institutes and ravages on
the frontiers oil Texas, Mexico, and New
Mexico. Though crippled for want OF ap.
propria,ions IL. the commission, they can,
with the aid of the Slate Of Texas, do much
towards the object. 1t will be an expen>
sive undertaking, and will create large
deficiency appropriation bill Tor the next
session.
Sir Henry Bulwer's speech at the ST..
Georges festival. in New. York, is much
read and admired. Like his previous adj
dresses. its tone is manly and full OF British
pluck. while it is also liberal and philoso
phic. His views of America and its destiny
are calculated 10 elevate our country even
in the esteem OF Americans, while his views
OF Eng land lie nd vastly TO magnify he! glory
and power even in the eyes Of john Bull
HIMSELF
Sir Henry Bulwer was naturally enough
irri,a,ed by the stupid, vulgar, and mall.
clous squib. which one OF his native. and
our adopted, counlrymen had let oil IN the
"CsH." But do not see so distinctly. as
he does, whose claims as candidate for
The Presidency were intended 10 be pro.
NOTED by holding hun up 10 the "lrlsh
vote" as the enemy Of England. II there
is any candidate to be run on that ground,
he cannot expect, even with the Irish vote.
which, BY the way, IS never united, and
certainly could not be on ground so mar
row as that, 10 have much success. The
time Aas gone by in which general anglo
phoba can be got up and used for political
effect in this country.
WASHINGTON, May 8.
The excitement growing out of the dis
covery oil the projected Cuban invasion has
subsidized. The project is believed 10 be
frustrated and abandoned. Whether the
leaders here were sincere and acting 10
good !alth towards those whom they enlist.
ed in the scheme - doubtful. 1t is sup.
posed that they had received funds from
some rica Creoles for the purpose OF pro-
noting an expedition. and we're obliged 10
make some show Of compliance with their
engagements.
Mr.. Marcoleta, the Minister from Nicar-
aqua, is here, and a treaty between the
United States and Nicaragua is about 10 be
negotiated, either here or at Leon. the
Nicaragua capital, as soon as Mr.. keer
shall arrive there. Mr.. SauIER's treaty
with Nicaragua was not ratified by the
Senate, as il was inconsistent with the
provisions Of the treaty concerning Central
America and the inter- oceanic canal, which
was made between the United States and
England.
The rumors recently circulated thai Eng
land had violated the terms Of that treaty
are not believed 10 be correct. This gov.
ernmen, has received no notice Of any such
violations.
The Mexican claimants. in whose favor
awards have been made, and who have no
adverse claims 10 meet, will receive their
money after the 18th The monthly stale

tie amount of fifteen millions.
The Mexican claimants who are dissatis-
fed.whh their awards. are about 10 organ

uriher redress Cor. Char. Courier.
