WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.
MIR. Webster is preparing a report 10
recen, letter of Chevalier Hulseman, which
was drawn forth by Mr.. Webster's speech
at The Kossulh dinner. lis tenor has no,
,ranspreG, but it is not impossible that the
Austrian charge may have his passports
rendered to him. There is something ex'
,raordinary going on IN the navy. The de-
parment is actively engaged in ordering
vessels 10 prepare for sea, and collecting
supplies and munitions of war. Among
other things, the Mediterranean sqsudion is
10 be strengthened by Two additional yes
sells. The thermometer this morning is
only 5 degrees above zero. The Potomac
is closed.
There is much speculation here upon the
chances of the several Democratic candi.
dates for the nomination at Baltimore on
the first o. June. Every day brings some
intelligence bearing on the subject. It's
now said that Gov. Marcy will have the
support of two thirds of the New York
delegation in the Convention, and General
Cass the other third. A large majority Of
the Pennsy wanna delegates will support
Mr., Buchanan. The Presidential ques
ton is so strongly in view that it will
have an effect upon the Legislation OF Con-
eress. 1t may have good effect upon the
legislation of Congress. 1t may have an
effect 10 rendering them timid Of legisla
ton on some disputed subjects-such as the
tariff and iaternal Improvements.

FROM WASHINGTON.

JANUARY X.
Politics and business will this week begin
10 absorb the attention Of Congress. The
business of the session will, now that the
holidays and the Kossulh festivals are over
begin IN earnest
The Tariff question is soon TO occupy
Congress, and it has been already much
agilaled in conversation. The Pennsylva
mans. without party distinction, will urge
The necessity ola further protection oil theIT
IRON. The eastern manufacturers insist up
On protection, not on coarse, but on hne
coltons, and fabrics Of cotton and WOOL
The expectation OF destroying The principle
Of the Tariff of 1916, by restoring speclhc
duties on home valuation is abandoned.-
| learn that General James. Of Il. l., will
present proposition as sort oil compro-
mise. He will propose, II is said, reduce
ton Of duties on some articles which do
not need protection. and particularly coarse
colions; and an additional duty Of ten per
cent. upon the finer fabrics, and also an
addition Of ten per cent 10 the duty on IRON.
Ii IS said that this scheme meets with favor
10 The most influential democratic quarters
There is a strong political reason Tor con-
clialns Pennsylvania, by giving her some
a id 10 her great interest, which is und0ubt.

as Senator James and other practical men
say, TO confine the manufacturing energy
