The charge Of misconduct on the part Of the
United States Distric. Attorney, brought by the
Foreman 81 the Grand Jury, was submitted to
Judge Beets yesterday, and declared by his Honor
10 be unsenable. The allegation was that the Dis
taict Attorney failed to bring party to trial for
forging invo,crs Of imported goods. It appears that
the District Attorney, on preliminary inveetigar
tOA, found that the charge could not be sustained
that the inSermer was contradicted by documentary
evidence n the possession of the government, and
by the testimony Of the Custom House offcars-
After o correspondence between the State Depart
ment and the United States Attorney, the lItter
was authorized to enter nolle yrosegui, which he
felt himself justified in doing. A report OF the
proceedings before Judge Belts win be found in
another part Of the HERALD.
Cotton continued firm yesterday, and the stock
light. The sales only embraced some 400 q 500
bses chiefly Uplands and Florida low middlngs
Mobile and New Orleans good middhngs were
measurably out of market. Flour was easter for
common grades, with sales of about 1000 barrels
common State, for export, at So rs. Southern and
Canadian ruled dull, with moderate transactions
Pork was somewhat frmer, while beef was un
changed. Lard sold in barrels pretty freely
for exports at lee. ne feature in the provision
trade has appeared The French, in years past, have
been very limited customers Of ours for provisions
This year they have purchased freely than ever
known before; and, what is curious, hitherto we
have sold them little or no bacon, but they are now
filing heavy orders at New Orleans for bacon in
boxes, which was heretofore beyond our own wants,
packed almost exclusively for the English market.
The holders Of English and other foreign orders
knowing that if they filed them exclusively in New
York, prices would advance, and as this market go
verns others in the interior, they have purchased
freely in Baltimore, New Orleans, st. Louis and
| Cincinnati, leaving the New York market without
excitement, material advance in rates. Freights
to Liverpool were steady, with fair amount OF en-
gsgements.
The new dogma Of the Catholic Church is creating
considerable controversy in religious circles just
now. We published yesterday Dr.. Cummings letter
to the London Times on the subject. To-day we
give reply TO that letter, which viii unquestonably
| attract much attention.
Dudley nIann's Original Charts OF Plerce's
Foreign Policy-Very Curious and Sur
The inside history Of the budget Of blunders
which constitutes the diplomacy of this admin
istration is coming to light. We are getting at
it. Our columns are graced this morning with
another Of those curious and graphic letters Of
Mr. Dudley Mann, chalking out the foreign po-
Icy of Mr.. Pierce--that policy which has rem
dered his official career SO contemplate at
home and 80 notorious abroad. Of the anthem
ITCHY of this original letter, as also Of the let
ter from Paris, Of February 7, 1853, (Which, for
the more complete elucidation Of our subject,
we republish this morning,) we are entirely
satisfied. These are among the specimens OF
the secret archives Of the State Department;
and from their value in the enlightenment of
the two houses upon our foreign affairs, we
really think that the HERALD, for the discovery
and publication of these documents, is entitled
to the thanks of Congress.
Substantially, the whole European programme
Of this hybrid administration is laid down in
these general and specific sailing directions OF
Dudley Mann The authority OF the Arch
J duchess Sophia in shaping out the diplomacy
of the youthful Emperor Of Austria has
not been greater than the extraordinary in
fuence of Dudley Mann upon our foreign
relations over the blank and impossible
mind of Franklin Pierce. Experience, how
ever, has proved the old woman of Austria inf
nitely superior in practical sagacity, tact and
discretion, to the self-conceited American fill
buster. No wonder. Her diplomatic educa-
ton was with governments and with negotia-
tiops existing, tangible and practical while
that Of Pierces inaugural prime minister was
drawn from the socialist clubs and red repub-
lican conspiracies Of France and Germany. 1t
would have been better, much better, for Mr..
Pierce and his prospects for the succession, had
he chosen as his confidential guide in the out
set some prudent and respectable old woman
in preference to Dudley Mann.
Fresh, however, from the Mexican war, with
Cushing on his right hand, JEFF. Davis on his
left, and with Forney to back him, the natural
instincts of Gen. Pierce, in the outset were
flibustering and sanguinary. In this frame Of
mind he was easily moulded to the jacobin
schemes Of Dudley Mann and was readily con-
WINGED that he was elected to carry out the
crusade of Kossuth against the European des-
pots, beginning with Louis Napoleon This
will account for the freedom Of Manns
instructions to Gen. Pierce, the passive and
implicit submission Of the latter and the con-
sequences which have followed, down to the
late elections and the resignation of Soule.
In his letter of Feb. T. 1853, Mr.. Mann says,
substantially, that it is of paramount import
ance that democrat of the flibustering red
republican order should be sent to France; that,
as far as possible, he should cut the European
aristocracy and their diplomatic lackeys; that
