The following letter from President FiIIuaore to
gentleman In this city finally disposss Of an abb
surd imputation against the late President Polk,
which has Obtained some currency. Though Mr..
Fllmore's note was written in reply to an Inquiry
from Il friend of the deceased ex. President, and
was not intended for publication, the gentleman
to whom It was addressed felt That he would violate
no confidence in placing it before the public:
ssWAsH1raroN, Jan. %, 1853.
tsMY DEAN SIR: Your note Of yesterday came to
hand this morning, and hasten to do justice to a
political opponent, who is.now in bis grave. You
say that it vas stated in your presence that Presi
dent Polk he heartless and cold, and that one Of
his coolest acts was, that he vacated the White
House several days before the President elect
to Washington, for fear Of opening his heart, as
to ask him to his house and table. It is due to Mr.
Polk to say that know this to be untrue. Gen.
eral Taylor and myself were both invited to dine
with him, and did dine with him before he left the
White House; and have doubt all the ciyilities
ordinarily extended to the incoming administra.
ton, were extended by President Polk to General
Taylor, and, according to my recollection, he did
not leave the White House till the 4th, or rather
the 5th of March, which was Monday. The con-.
fusion incident to the close of session of Congress-
and the breaking up of house keeping by the Pre-
sidents family, must necessarily prevent any
President from doing more than Mr.. Polk did in
the case of General Taylor, and, if am rightly
informed, many of his predecessors did not do as
much: lam, respectfully, yours,

It deserves md cannot fail to receive universal
favor We have enumerated the contents d
this number in y previous impression, and We
believe they may be: found 10 our advertising
columns; but there Is one article which must
attract general attention in Europe as we'll as
in this country. This is the paper furnished
By the Rev. Mr.. HANSON, and introduced by a
letter from Or. HAWKS, and entitled g Have
we q Bourbon among US 2" The design OF the
article is to show that Louis XVII Of France is
living in this country in the person of the Rev.
E.LEAzER Williams, a clergyman Of the Prot
estant Episcopal Church. We know few cases
of disputed identity in which the proof seems
more nearly like demonstration than this case
of Williams.

Mr.. Everett.

The Boston Transcript, abiding to the sue
cessor OF the Hon. JOHN DAVIS, in the United
States Senate, says:
"The wishes of tho people of Massachusetts
seem to point very distinctly to Mr.. Everett as
their foremost man for the office of Senator. It
cannot be disputed that the popular sense is right
in this There is no man in public life at this mo-
ment who can be called, in all respects. Mr.. Eve
rett's peer as statesman. There is that, too, in
his moral character, in the whole tenor of his lfe
in his very presence, to inspire confidence, and
win universal reverence and admiration. There
is no man who will now be listened to in Congress
by men of all parties with more attention, or
whose counsels will carry more weight. Massa-
chusets will honor herself more than him by
making him her SENATOR
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1853-01-31

ate, at time when days are or should be pre-
cious. They have been thrown away in order
that Senators might minister to demagogical
passions, advance the purposes Of personal OF
party ambition, and indirectly iniure an admin
istration whose policy they dare not openly
assail. Twelve days have been consumed
in proclaiming suspicious and resolves which
must eventuate in war or smother the United
States with ridicule. The natural and sensi-
bic order of things has been reversed. We have
had thunder without stint, and now learn that
the lightning is contingent upon ys. France
has designs upon SANTANA, we will fight her.
IF Britain cheated Mr.. CLAYTON, or has
stealthily crept where she has no right to be,
we will fight her too. Gentlemen, is not this
trifle too absurd Is it reasonable or digni-
fed OF expedient that legislative fortnight
should be devoted to oratory which may be
blown to the wind when the committee COM
plete the inquiry entrusted to them? We
humbly submit that such course is neither
dignifed nor expedient. 1t fosters and diAuses
war feeling amongst our population; it keeps
alive animosities that are not creditable to an
intelligent and christian people it alienates
and initiates other nations, and predisposes
both them and ourselves to seize the sword a.
the first instead of the final arbiter in national
disputes.
Senators should remember that as great men
do not everlastingly proclaim their prowess, SO
agreat nation should not be made to speak per-
petually OF war. The doing and the talking
are generally in an inverse ratio to each other;
and seeing that the truism is not confined to
this side of the Atlantic, there is danger that
some of our European rivals may measure the
country by its Senatorial vaporing, and treat US
accordingly as a population of braggarts. France
under LOUIS PHILIPPE prepared for war
while protesting to discountenance it; and
England at this moment, though filling her
dockyards with frigates, studding her coasts
with forts, and adding thousands to her solss
diery, breathes not word of war. Certain Of
our Senators meanwhile speak of it as glibly
as though it were a summer cholic, and trust
to lucky chance to provide the means Of
graphing with it. They place the country,
therefore, in this perilous predicament-that
they talk to produce war, and that their talk
ing hinders US from obtaining the defences that
are essential to avert its horrors from our UNI
protected coasts.
seMillions for defence, not a cent for tribute, !"
was once the maxim. ssWeeks to promote
war-not an hour to prepare for it," is the
modern Democratic paraphrase. Twelve days
to discuss what ought to have been inquired
into without discussion. Not day to mature
the means of protecting our wide range of
coast, and meeting on equal terms the enemy
who may venture to attack it!

senator Mason ON Foreign Affairs.

Referring to the Senate debates on foreign af.
fairs, the New York Times speaks as follows of the
course of the chairman of the Committee on Fo.
reign Relations:
ssMr. Mason has stated his opinions upon all
manner of diplomatic difficulties with the candor
of confessional. He is declared antagonist of
Mexico, on the Tehuantepec nuarce.s He has let
out his notions with respect to Cuba with gar.
rulity doubtless immensely edifying to the Escu-
rial and Senior Calderon. And now upon this bust
ness OF declaration against foreign Intervention
he is no less explicit, going to the unnecessary
length of recommending the instant expulsion Of
the British coonists from Belize. He declares thai
sthe colony must be discontinued He declines
to enter upon any discussion of the abstract
question OF British right. He affords US no light
upon the ability of Congress to pass post facto
laws for foreign governments. The undisturbed
possession of Belize for time thrice that required
to vest adequate title in individual owners ofterri
tory, is sternly ignored. And what lie still more
remarkable, after discussing the Monroe principle
in order to show its exclusive application to the
condition OF things during the presidency of that
gentleman, ne neglects to note the fact that British
authority was as firmly seated in Central America
at that time as it is now that the whole world was
laughing at the farce, performed only few years
before, OF electing and browning king of the Mos
qultosIa Scotsman, under the British protecto-
rate, being the successful candidates and that
neither Mr.. Monroe nor any of his friends or adj
visers has left an indication that the rule was
designed to be applied to the concerns of that re-
gion, or tnat the BRUSH claims admitted OF ques-
ton. Mr. Mason rushes in where those statesman
feared, or at least refused, to tread. He disaows
the British right, without reason; and proposes to
cancel it, without naming the mode. The title to
Canada is no better, against U.S. than the title to
that part Of Honduras where British subjects,
under British protection, cut logwood before the
American Constitution was framed In disputing
the rights Of England, we have no warrant of at
torney from Spain or Honduras to show as autho.
rity for our suit. 1t is simply wanton inter fer
with presoriptive rights and its onlv nroduct
must be war. Therefore do we regard Mr.. Mason
as rash. He has certainly mperilled the confidence
secured for him by his antecedents; and we really
do not see how man of views 80 decidedly bel-
gerent can safely be associated with any cabinet,
in this pacific age of the world. The Aberdeen
Ministry declined to place Lord Pamerston in the
Foreign Office for the very reasons which cannot
now fail to prejudice the prospects of Mr. Mason. y

Later from the Isthmus.

The steamer United States arrived at New York
on Saturday mornings with one hundred passen.
gers, having left Aspinwall on the 10th instant
The Panama Star of the 9Th instant contains tho
following notice of the arrival and departure of a
party of Jesuits:
son Tuesday last the Ecuadorian national vessel
Hermosa Carmen arrived here from Guayauuil,
with cargo Of thirty-two Jesuits, who had been
expelled by the Ecuadorian government. Weare
told that they were consigned to the Governor of
Panama, with the request that he would put them
through the isthmus and out of the country with
all commendable care and speed On their arrival,
says common rumor, they were informed officially
that they could land, but would be subjected to po
lice surveillance during their stay here, which was
limited to day They returned answer that they
had no resistance. to make to the law, but if the
Governor wished them to land as prisoners he
would have to send of and tie them, Or put them
under guard. The latter was done, and they were
landed at the northern gate under q guard of sol
dlers and police, who then conducted them to the
Cablldo or City Hall, where their appearance Gre
ated some excitement among some of our popula-
ton.
sat a later hour in the day-say at about two in
the afternoon-under charge of one or two officers
they were conducted to the college, where they
received such attention from the authorities as it
was possible, under the circumstances, to extend
to them. Yesterday morning the whole body
started for Cruces, under one official guide but we
saw no military or police force accompanying
them.''
The Congress of New Grenada will meet about
the 1st of March, and continue in session until the
10th of June. despatch was received at Panama
on the 18th instant, from Barbacoas or Cruces
stating that an accident had happened to the rail-
road IN the carrying away of one of its bridges,
and that, IN consequence, some passengers, to-
gether with the British mails and SPECIE had to be
transported down the river to Chagres, where all
would be embarked.
