A. DUDLEY MAHH.-Why has this gentleman gone tO Europe9 He is As. SiSlaut Secretary of State, ono who takes all the minor dFudgery of that office on his shonlders and therefore is always necessary in the office. Why then has the Administration sent him abroad {? These questions, asked by the enduiring pOlitieiaD, are not easily answered. The Administration have been for come time preparing some bold stroke to pleass the flibustering prOpensitieS of Young Ame> Tica. They expected ten millions of dol- lars from Congress by way of assistance tO the secret plans they are forming. They were highly chagrined and disap pointed that Congress would not trust ahem with it. These plans of aggression arc for the slave power and it's aggran> dlzement nothing else but such an ob. ject would interest this Administration now. They relate principally to Cuba, but have reference to the acquisition of other parts of the West Indies. Cuba s uPpermost, however.
 But why has the Assistant Secretary oI State gone to Europe? The N. Y. COmnaerciGt Advertiser suggests for the purpose of conveying verbaL instructions 10 SOule, Mason, and Buchanan respect ing the present designs of the Admins traitor on Cuba-s secret instructions, that shall not reach the public ear through the sreachery of the messenger, and which can never be called for by Congress, be- cause they have never been committed to paper. If Congress won't trust the AG> ministration with ten millions for purpo> ses connected with the acquisition of Cuba. neither will the Administration trust Congress with any of it's plans, and well place them beyond the reach of a popular call. Things is working"
