Com m odore Moore,

We observe temperate and conclusive rep
resentatlon from this gentleman in response to
certain observations of Mr.. PEARcE, of Mary
land 1t will be remembered that Congress
has been considering for some years whether
the officers of the Texas navy constituted a
part of the Texan navy, and whether the Gov
eminent of the United States was bound under
the treaty of annexation 10 adopt those officers
and bestow upon them an equivalent rank in
the American navy. The proofs cited by
Commodore MOORE show that the governn ent
of Texas had only laid up its vessels in ordi-
nary, whilst it continued to recognise and pay
the officers up to the date of annexation. We
should have expected, from the proverbial mag
nanimity with which seamen break their last
biscuit with a comrade, that the officers of our
own navy would make room with alacrity for
a comrade who had resigned his commission
to risk his life in the cause of freedom; and
that the American Congress. so scrupulous in
its observance OF treaties, would have 90 con-
strued the clause of adoption as to furnish the
small remnant of Texan officers with employ
ment in the only profession for which they are
| fitted

The FoREIaN APPoINTMENTs.-AW Washington
correspondent of the New York Herald, writing
on the 9th instant in regard to the Cabinet taking
up the foreign appointments, says:
s.Mr Marcy declared yesterday that unless they
were soon made he would resign, as his time had
been occupied with applications for Office that he
had not had time nor opportunity of reading a
single DESPATCH much less writing one, since he
had entered the State Department, whilst newspa :
per literature and special correspondence was to
him a sealed book. This is not the entertainment
he was invited to, and he won't stand it any long
err. There ia much truth in the complaint. The
selection of persons to fill the offices, except in
few instances, is matter of little importance com
parativey, and, as the New York Offices are nearly
all filed, the Premier desires to turn to his real
vocation as Secretary of State.
sRumors of all kinds plenty as to who will
get missions SC. Ali that is yet fixed, however,
is the fact that Dix, Seymour, and Gadsden have
been selected. Others may have been, but the fact
has not leaked out in any authentic shape. Mean
time many of the expectants are on the ground,
ready to hear their fate.
ave notice among the crowd the famous Cap
tain Scott, of Richmond, who killed off last year
so many Presidential aspirants. The consulate at
Rio night satisfy him, and surely such prowess as
his is deserving of a pccuniary reward. Then the
question of Young America is to be solved, and 1t
will be seen whether the President spare for
foreign service the names of the Democratic Re
vie,p Colonel Polk is here, too, preparing to meet
his fate, and find that Trousdale has secured the
prize"
