4 highly impertantant despatch from one Of our
special teegraphio correspondents at Washington,
explanatory of Tie real causes CT the rejection Of
The Tehuantepec treaty by the Mexican Congress,
viii be found among tclegraphc advices in this
days HERALD. Itsppears that the Mexcans are
especially jealous CT the large tract of land granted
for colonization purposes in the Garay contract,
among the benefits of The Tchuantepec right of way;
andtley charge that this extraordinary land grant
effected by sabery and corruption. 1T further ap-
pears chat on the rejection of the treaty, Mr..
fletcher made lie ratification our ultimatum at the
hazard OF war; and that from this ultimstum Presi-
dent Arisa has appealed to the PresiSont Of tho
United States, representing the impossinility Of
aeceding to the Garay treaty, under the threat
Of war; but urging, at the time, the readiness
of Mexico to grant the right ct way upon firm and
liberal terms Doubtless the tiaray treaty viii now
DC abandoned and entered into. u is
hghly probable that tie cabinet win have the sab
jcct ualer special consideration to- day.
II asocars from our special isdvecs, also, that tie
Cbeval.er Hulsemann, in throwing mp his commis
sion as Minister Of Austria, LETT his parting
blessing tton record for the hencft of Mr.. Webster,
In the forE of lengthy ana characteristic letter.
The course of the Secretary of Stateln regard to
Kossuth, hteigary, and Austria, was too much
for the dignity of the Austrian Chevaler. The
Russian NiIlister has had, perhaps, much
cause for offence. but Mr.. Bodsco is an
old diplomat. and trifcs do net brighten him
out Of his prcpriety. He knows that in
this country something must be conceded to
The principle of liberty. But the more impe-
rious Austrian has simply made himself ard hi
government ridiculous, in his pucrile complaints
aud grievances. Fer example, who, before this,
ever heard Of q foreign minister complaining to the
President If the remarks 81 the newspapers upon his
official conalct7 we had censorship over the
press thoy have in Austria, such an appeal might
be admissible, but until the censors VIC furnished by
fhc Austrian e. yernment, her minister at Washing
ton viii continue to be liable to the freedom of
newspaper crtieisn as Kossuth, or Kinkcl, or Lola
Monies, and the Jesuits. The only censorship over
the press with us is a jury Of twelve "good men
and true" Perhaps the late Austrian minister
rot aware of even this tribunal of redress, or we
might have been favored 9th his counssls at Wash
ington for sometime longer. But he has quit, and
must even consent TO lose him.
Notwithstanding the breyity Of the report Of yes
scrdays proceedings in the United States Senate.
good deal Of work was got through with. Among
the bills intLoduced was one asking for land for the
construction Of railroad from Cincinnati to
st. Louis. The proposed road is much needed.
and the inhabtants of those two cities, when
their rapid advancement i taken into con-
sidcration ought to possess spirit enough to com
rlcto the road without asking the government
tcas.ist them. However, they may as well come
in for their share of the public PLUMBER while they
ian ret it, Pctwccn the free farm bill Of the House
and the railroad bills of the Senate they viii not
leave much land to quarrel about hereafter. The
Bcnatc took up the Deficiency bill, and after infor-
mally passing over the Collins steamship appropra
ton, in consequence Of the illness of Mr. Borland,
adopted amendments which appropriate Sol 900 for
the various objects named in the report
The cleaning and ventilating operations, which 1
won commenced in the hall Of the House of Repre-
scniatiyes yesterday morning, appear to have had
the effect Of pretty ehectually cleaning out Wash
ington--at least VIC should judge so from the num-
her Of Congrcssn,en who came into this city last
evening Among those who sought quarters at the
Irving House we're Senator Foote, of Vt, and the
Hon Messrs. Boyd, Dickinson, and Haven, of New
York State; u. II. Stanton Of KY; b. Stanton and
swcetser Of Ohio; Paine Of Vt. and Latrobe of Md.
No doubt real practical work was accom-
Ilished in the hal Of the House yesterday than on
any other day since the opening Of the session.
III returns the election of wing delegates to
e representatives to the National Convention,
took place in this city and vicinity yesterday,
ven in another part Of this paper. We have
turns from twenty-six Of the tlirty-six Con-
nal districts of this State, Of which Scott has
cen and Fillmore seven. Scott will, no doubt,
nave the six districts not heard from.
II ia said that fecrctary Wcbstcrs injuries will
still detain him az MarshGeld for several days
he WILL however address the Bostonians in raneuil
Hall, prior TO his return to Washington. NotNith-
standing all the Of the free sellers to
impair him in the estimation Of the wings, the
latter party in Massachusetts,, where his sentiments
and feelings are 80 thoroughly understood, cyince
a determination TO stick TO him, and they viii
elevate him to the Presidency, if true devotion
lie Of any avail. As yet, none but Webster dele
gates have been chosen by the wings Of the old
Bay State.
According TO tho despatch from our Albany cor
respondent Gov. Hunt will not take the trouble Of
calling an extra session Of the Legislature to devise
