Wizards Hotel, which for some years past
has been the headquarters of such persons in
Washington, seems destined to continue to be
graced by their presence and enlivened by
their conversation. We notice there at this
period, among others, Mr.. Hargous and Mr..

Judge Golthwaite, of the Supreme Court Of
Alabama; Isaac e. Fowler, Esq, postmaster
of the city of New York; and b. F. Angel,
Esq, late United States Commissioner to the
Sandwich Islands.
The presence Of Messrs. Hargous and Ward

to respect Santa Annals mortgages or sssign-
ments of the three millions stipulated, by
treaty, to be paid to Mexico on the final rati-
fcation of the boundary survey.
