the condition Of Denmark joining the Western
Alliance against Russia. Ifshc accepts that prop

their vessels through the Sound untaxed, will DO
treated by the alliance as cause Of war, and
France and England win at once employ the me-

PoLrrrcAL GossIr-The New Orleans Bulletin

There are certain movements upon the political
chess board which plainly indicate that game Is
to be played, which at this early stage, is calcu-
lated TO elicit the interest of all and sorely to puz
zle the sagacity Of the shrewdest by.standers.
The game is in the hands Of few experienced
and astute politicians, and a desperate struggle
will be made 10 obtain the victory.
We have heard from very creditable source,
that certain demonstrations have already been
made, which show that ground viii soon be bro

dates for the Presidency, 10 be submitted to the

liminaries and stranger yet that each Of them are

Per contra. Mr.. Buchanan, our Minister at
London, win DO soon coming home chock full Of
hope and expectation. Instead Of ombarking d.

be changed or modified in accordance with crcum-
stances. Buchanan is a strong man, and not bit
more Of an old fogy than Dallas. Buchanan's Lieu
