The difficulty between Messrs Cutting and Breck-
fAridge continues the absorbing topic of discussion
n the political circles in Washington and this city,
DIP to late hour last night the affair had not been
arranged; but it is confidently believed that it will
yet be settled to the satisfaction of all concerned
The letters and dispatches from our correspondents
contain variety Of highly interesting information
relative to this and other matters.
The protracted debate in the United States Senate
On the subject of printing yesterday, again forcibly
illustrates the, urgent necessity for the establish
nent of q government printing office. Much time is
nselessy thrown away by Congress at every session
h their fruitless endeavors to satisfy the demands
ef political aspirants for the post Of printer and
when the two houses happen to decide upon differ
ent men to execute their woriS-as is the case at
present. feeling of jealousy generally springs up
IN which the members Of the different branches be-
come involved, and which usually ends in throwing
Me work behind hand and retarding the progress of
legislation. Among the numerous petitions pre-
Sented in the early part of the day was one, from
1erty-one citizens of North Carolina in opposition
10 the Nebraska bill.
Nest of yesterdays session Of the House of Rep
Iesentatves spent in debating the Dill provid
ing for the construction of six first class steam
frigates. Colonel Benton made speech in opposi-
tion to the measure but it seems to have had but little
influence upon the spirit of Young America at this
moment prevailing in that body. We regrc, to
learn however, that the amendment of Mr.. Lyon,
authorizing the building of six sloops of war in adj
aition to the steamers was rejected. From appear
ances our Congressman have at length been aroused
10 the Importance of Immediately strengthening our
maritime power, and we may therefore expect the
early passage Of the BILL now that the debate has
been closed in Committee ofthe Whole.
The members of our State Legislature are repre-
scented having been greatly perturbed yesterday,
ewing to a report that the Governor had positively
decided to veto the prohibitory liquor BILL in effect
ing the passage Of which measure most of the
sion has been spent. We learn from our correspon-
dent and from other sources that there can be little
doubt of the correctness of the rumor. The Cover
nor is understood 10 have consulted gentlemen of
high legal qualifications to the consttutionality
Of the act, and will probably return the bill, with
his objections, to-dey. Its friends said to be
already mastering stheir forces, with the view, If
possible, of making tie bill law by two-thrds
vote.
The State Senate yesterday adopted resolution
TO adjourn from to-day ill Tuesday, in order to enable
members to accept the proered invitation of the Ten
Governors to visit the institutions of this city. The
Assembly postponed the consideration Of the reso
hutton, but it is understood that they viii most
hkely give in their adhesion to-day. A large num-
Der of bills were disposed Oily both houses. The
leading features of the business transacted during
The last two days are embraced h the letters Of
correspondent.
ssJome additional items from Cube, including very
entertaining and exciting letter re- alive to the Incl
den.s connected with the seizure &C the steamship
BLACK Warrior, are given in another page. Accord
ing 10 our correspondent Don Ramor Mayin, one of
her panish Maiesty's officials, flew INTO o violent

The highly interesting letter elsewhere published
from oar Acapulco correspondent, furnishes gra-
phic ADD instructive explanation Of the existing
state Of affairs in Mexico and more particularly in
the depa tment Of Guerrero, in which Acapulco is
mtnated. The revolution against Santa Anna,
headed py 'en Alvarez seems to be far more formi.
tlable than the Mexican Serson Of the affair would
lead MS to suppose, and in the opinion of those best
informed on the subject, likely to prove success
sul.
Simultaneously with the movements of the 5isas l
sected people of Mexico for the overthrow Of bis
Enpreme Higbness, Santa Anna, and return to l
