WASHINGTON, D. @, March is, 1,

WASHINGTON, d. c., March IS, 1853.
The Senate was still debating the Bulwer and
Clayton treaty. During the discussion of the SUBJ
ject on Tuesday last quite a battle of words took
place between Mr.. CLAYTON and Mr.. Mason, of Va.
So far the Senate, though it has had frequent Ex-
ecutive sessions, has ncted upon but few the ap-
pointments sent in by the President but they will
all be attended to in due time. The rumor of a
rupture in the Cabinet is from all that we can learn
without any foundation. r. A. Thompson, of Va,
Thompson Campbell, of ILL.,, and Hon. Alpheus
Feleh, late Senator from Michigan appointed as
Commissioners of Land Claims IN California. Mr..
Harrington Chief Clerk of the Treasury Depart
ment, has been removed and Mr.. Rodman, an old
clerk and author of some work on banking, appoint
ted in his place. Mr.. Reed son in law of Gen.
Duff Green who was appointed by Mr.. Corwin to
$1,000 Clerkship in the same Department on the
Sd of March, has also been removed and Mr.. West,
ofNew Orleans appointed to the position. The
lateness of MIR. Reeds appointment no doubt has
tened his removal. The report that 80 clerks had
been removed in ttls Department is not correct
That number in the General Land Office and
AUDITORS Office were merely dropped according to
LdW. General Shields desires the appointment of
Minister toSpain, on account of his health, but it
is thought that Senator Soule, Of La, will get it,
Gen. S., will get some other foreign appointments
Mr.. Marshall, of California would be much pleased
to pay an official visit to China and he will proba-
bly, do so, as he has strong recommendations. Mr..
Buchanan, of Pa, can visit the Court OF ST. James
if he desires to do SO, and these positions are not
often declined, we suppose he will accept. Mr..
Dix, of N. ", is at present the most prominent
candidate for the mission to France. The contest
for the different offices in the large cities is going to
be hard one. In Boston rumor gives the appoint
ment of Naval Officer to Charles G Green, editor
of the Boston Pest, by the way these editors are
hard set TO head in any thing, but particularly SO
when it comes 10 getting office. The way they
manage it is TO club together and make a regular
business of it. The Hon. G. H. Peaslee late men,
her % Congress from n. H., stands decidedly The
best chance at present for the appointment of col
l-ctor of the Port of Boston, and Henry w. Bishop,
for that of Sub Treasurer. Gov. Lane has strong
claims TO the Goyeruorship of Oregon, and will
likely get it. A number of the Diplomatic corpse
in full costume paid their respects to the President
on Tuesday last, as did also many citizens and
strangers. The trial of DR.. Gardiner for fraud m
OH the Government to the amount of 100000. is
progressing slowly but pretty surely for his convc-
uon, we think, from the evidence SO far Mr.
Fillmore who intended leaving on his Southern
tour on Monday last, was unable to do so ON ac-
count OF the illness of ,.rs. Fillmore. He expects
to be able 10 take his departure in a few days
