ABSURD FOREIGN PoIIcY.-The President and
The Senate are preparing to take twenty mil
liens out of the Treasury, and hand it over to
Santa Anna, for the purpose of establishing a
military despotism Of the worst kind over the
Mexican people. The first measure Of this ia
nous policy was to regulate the coats and
brooches of our diplomatists. The next was to
bluster in favor of Koszta, and to abandon blus-
ter on every other question. The third was to
throw away on a Mexican usurper twenty mil
lions of solid dollars, which would have been
better appropriated to the construction of a
steam navy, to enable us to assume an attitude
of becoming strength and dignity in presence of
the grave events which are about to convulse
the world.

independence of action, and that Austria would
enter into the alliance against Russia, and thus
give her testimony to the justice CT the war.
After expatiating on the Injustice Of the claims
put forth by the Gar against Turkey, it gives
as the ad.altiohal motive that has decided the
action Of the Allied Powers, the fact that both
France and England had an equal interest in
preventing Russian supremacy from extending
Itself indefinitely over Constantnople, for to be
supreme in Constantinople was to be supreme
in the Mediterranean. To protect this right
had been for ages the policy of every national
government in France. The speech seems to
have created generally favorable impression

Prussia shall close such of her ports as are
near his territories against French and English

Important from WashinSton-SPeoial Mes
sage OF the President.

The government has at length spoken out ON the
outrage committed on our flag by the seizure of the
Black Warrior. In the message sent by the Presi-
dent to the House of Representatives yesterday he
endeavors to take the attitude which the occasion de-
,mands; and if he will only act up to the energy Of
his declarations, the Cuban question viii be plompt
.ly and defnitively settled.
In this document the President intimates to Spain
that if she does not make full atonehaent for past
insults and injuries to citizens and commerce,
and provide security for her future good behavior,
she must abide the consequences, in other words
resign herself to the loss Of Cuba. Such if it means
anything is the construction that is to be placed on
its language. 1t is in fact sort of war message,
and, viewed in this light it seems to have been IA
vorably received by the. House.
We have bad SO much of this sort of buster how
ever, from the present administration that we are
afraid that if Congress does not hold them TO the
text OF this document, it wall prove to be mere
brntu,n fllmen. Viewed independently Of their
previous course it would appear to indicate on the
part of the President and his Cabinet desire to
consult the interest and the honor of the coun
try. We trust that on question of such national
importance, this effort at an appearance Of energy
and decision will not turn out to be merely intended
as buncombe to the weakness and folly of the
administration othor questions
