WASHINGTON, Jan. IL, 1852.

The resignation Of Lord Palmers-
ton is believed here to have resulted
from bis frequent assumption OF the
entire control of foreign affairs
After a Cabinet Council had decided
on a we'll defined course of action
approved of by the Queen, he for
warded instructions variant from the
understanding Of other ministers, to
Lord Normady, at Paris. Lord John
Russell was consequently authorized
to invite him 10 resign. The Prone
theus affair, and every other Ameri-
can question, was in a favorable train
Of adjustment, which will be accele-
rated by the accession OF Lord Gren-
Vile. In fact, all our exterior rela-
tons, under the discreet and judicious
guidance OF Mr.. Webster, breathe
the most serene and tranquil atnos-
pbere.
The greatest source Of anxiety and
solicitude emanates from Mexico
An earnest and sincere desire is felt
TO preserve her in all her integrity.
Divided into petty States, her pres
perity and political existence is jeo-
pardized, As our neighbor and
friend, we can afford to be generous
as well as Just. There are many
causes Of complaint on her part, real
and imaginary, growing out of the
guarantees Of the treaty OF ST. Hi.
dalgo. The first will be redressed
with generous prompitude, and the
latter soothed by Cancellation and
kindness.
The Presidential canvass is fast
developing. The HotspUrs Of the
Democratic ranks--and they are not
few--openly abandon General Cass
as an old almanac out of date; and
Young America is in the ascendant,
pushing the "Lion OF the West"-
Senator Douglass.
The friends OF Mr.. Webster and
General Scott are decided in their
advocacy. In the event Of division
between their friends, creating dis
sension so strong as to be irreconcila-
bic, then Mr.. Fillmore might be pre-
vailed on to acquiesce in a joint nom-
ination, securing unanimity in the
Whig ranks. At present il is under
stood he desires not TO mingle in the
contest.
General Scott will receive every
Free Soil vote South OF the Potomac.
How far he can rely on the support
Of the same party North remains
problematical. Well may he ex-
