The Postmaster General is expected to return
to the city this evening, accompanied by Mr.
Buchanan Some doubts have been expressed
as to the probability of Mr. Buchanan's final
acceptance of the London mission But do not
think there is the slightest doubt that he in
tends to 60 out soon, but not so soon as the 9th
inst, the time which he had originally fixed
| upon for sailing. lie will also, perhaps have a
hand in shaping his own instructions which
| according to some accounts, is SiHr gra non
| with him.
1t is understood that the President will, in his
| message to Congress, recommend the increase OF
the salaries attached to all the PRINCIPAL foreign
missions. The prospect of the success of this
! measure reconcilcs several Of the appointees TO
their Punishment. 1t may he expected, how
ever, that Mr.. buchanan will soon return from
England for a laug stay there would throw
him out OF the track Of the next Presidential
race In one race he WAS Withdrawn, ami in
another he was distanccd; hut :. better luck
next time
The dissatisfaction with the stamped enyelors
Just issued by the General Postoilice is very
general AMI very just 1t arises from the fact
that each Of them bears on the back the card Of
Mr. + Ncsbt, Of this city. the contractor bv
whom they are furnished We are not aware
that m arrangement of this Sort was contem-
plated by Congress when the envelops were or
dcred certainly no such feature was included
in any advertisement offering the contract to
public competition and if the Postmaster. Cen
cral privately authorized Mr. Nesht 10 make
such use Of the envelopes he did what we think
he had no right to do: while, if Nj Nesbit did
It without authority, lie should have the lot
thrown back on his hands. Certainly. if this
chance of circulating business card had been
offered to the highest bidder, it would have
brought enough to pay the entire cost of the
enveops, -Uud profit to boot. As it is we arc
assured that many heavy commercial houses
will not use them at all, though they would
otherwise he large consumers II would be only
proper for the Postmaster General TO cancel the
entire stock on hand, and procure new supply,
without the Objectionable appendage. n. Y
