WASHINGTON, April %, 1850.
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,

WAsHINGroE, April 10, 1850.
Sir: have now the honor to submit to you, in
shape in which | am authorized by the President
to sign the same, the project of the convention
which originated in our mutual conferences and
consultations shortly after your arrival in this
country.
gave me to the instructions you had received
from her Britannia majesty's government, that
you are duly authorized, and will be ready to con-
cur in the said convention; in which case, time
can be at once fixed for our common signature.
have further to observe, that at a period when,
in consequence of circumstances not now necessa-
ry to be stated, it was supposed that such
rangement would be entered into between our
spectye countries as that we now about to con-
clude, the treaty negotiated by this Government
with the State of Nicaragua on the Sd day of Sep
TENDER last "a copy of which, far it relates
to the proposed ship canal, was transmitted by
Mr.. Lawrence to Lord Palmerston on the 22d day
of November last) was submitted to the Senate
for advice in rel gard to its ratification.
This treaty is now in the possession OF the Sem
ators, who, as the Presidents constitutional ad-
visers in the exercise of the treaty king power,
form coordinate branch of the Government;
and, as no treaty can be made without their ad
vice and CONSENT that which you and have origi-
mated must be submitted to them, in connection
with the treaty above referred to. Whatever the
Senate may decide in reference to either of these
treaties, the President will not, am persuaded,
have occasion to controvert He does not doubt,
should the Senate confirm the treaty with Great
Britain that it will take that any other treaty
also confirmed by it shall be in conformity there
with; and it is unnecessary for me to say that no
| thing in one of these treaties could be ratified
| which would be inconsistent with the spirit and
intention of the stipulations contained in the other.
| The friendly relations between the two greatest
| commercial nations of the world will trust, be
strengthened by this new bond of union between
| them; and | anticipate the happiest results from
their honorable and peaceful alliance for the pur-
pose of diffusing the blessings of commerce and
! civilization. ta
| It is exceedingly gratifying to that new
| treaty likely to be important in its results
should have been the consequence of our friendly
| intercourse; and cannot terminate this negotia-
ton without those mutual congratulations which the
| occasion warrants, and the sincere expression of
that esteem and regard which has been created by
the assistance you have given me in bringing our
| abors to happy conclusion.
| Accept the assurance of the high consideration
| with which | have the honor to be your most re-
| spectfu and obedient servant

The London Times ofthe 23d ult. attributes CON
siderable importance to the young Austrian en-
peror's visit to the King of Prussia, it being the
fret time, since the house of Brandenburg
sumed the Prussian crown, that the head Of the
house of Hapsburg has been seen in the Prussian
capital, and the fret time since the house of Haps
burg laid down the imperial crown of Germany,
that an Emperor of Austria has paid this mark of
courtesy and regard to the Northern German
power, which was dangerous enemy in the last
century, and sometimes troublesome rival in the
present.

We select the following passages from an
article in the New Orleans Delta, which
echoes the censure pronounced by other inde-
pendent Democratic prints in relation to the
influences now in operation to determine the
complexion of the new appointments. We are
satisfied with reproducing the structures uttered
on this subject by journals which have none
but the most friendly feeling toward the Presi-
dent elect. The fact that political predilec-
tions do not blind them to the force or nature
Of his surroundings will be held to indicate the

SIR: have the honor 10 inform you that her
majesty's government have entirely approved of
the language which ] held to you with reference
to your inquiry as to whether it was true that Mr..
Chatfeld had made treaty with Costa RIGA, tax
ing that republic Under British protection and Of
the assurance ! then gave you that did not be-
lieve, from the opinions which had heard her
ma jesty Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs
express, that he could have authorized Mr.. Chat;
field to make any treaty placing the republic of
Costa RIGA under the protection Of her majesty, /
have been Furthermore instructed to state to you
that the British government has not made, and has
no intention of making, any treaty or arrangement
with Costa RIGA for taking that State under Bri
tish protection. ~
am also desired to add, that it would be con.
trary to the fixed and settled policy of Great Bri
tain to entangle herself by any engagement to
protect distant States over whose policy and con-
duct it would be impossible for the British govern
ment 70 exercise any effective control Such a
protectorate would confer no possible advantage
on Great Britain, and might become the source of
many endorsements to her,
avail myself of this opportunity to renew to you
the assurance of my highest consideration. E

Democracy, he should support it. If he had
been guilty of any crime it was that of prefer
ring the principles Of Ohio to those of Balt-
more.
I'm reference to Slavery he had never had
but one opinion and that is, to denationatse
it, That was his whole creed He did not say
abolish it. for the General Government had no
power or right to legisate, in reference to mat
tiers not strictly national, in the several States
All he wanted was to have the Government re-
