Cass's speech to-day was little else than rehash
of his former Anti-British demonstrations, inter-
larded with a proflson of compliments to every
body-not forgetting himselt--and few hard hits

some latent cause of personal quarrel. lie con-

tons, and approved the speech of MIR. Clayton con-
corning the former few days ago. With every
disposition to profit by this effort, and to IND In It
some source OF instruction. must confess It failed
to compensate me for hour and half OF faithful
attention. The only point OF real interest which
attracted attention at all was the yindication OF
Mr.. Monroe from the imputatiOD OF having received
the suggestion of the doctrine which bears bis name
from Mr.. Canning He proved from correspond
ence between Mr.. Jefferson and Mr. Monroe, that
this subject had been seriously discussed between
them for months before Mr.. Rush, then our Min
lister at London, communicated the views OF Mr..
Canning. SO far so good. But if Gen. Cass had
pursued his investigations little further he might
Lave discovered more than was demonstrated to-
day. Mr.. Adams was the Secretary OF state to
Mr.. Monroe, and il / am rightly informed his
inry establishes the fact that he was the real
author of what is called the Monroe doctrine
Mr. Monroe himself was converted to this decla-
alton by slow and labOriOus processes OF argu-
ment from Mr.. Adams, and it was with very con-
siderable difficulty that be finally consented to the
ground taken in bis celebrated message. 1t Ia
doubtless true, as Gen. Cass stated, that they
counseled with Mr.. Jefferson; but when the
whole secret history Of that important matter
shall be given to the world, by the publication Of
Mr.. Adams's diary, the originality Of this doctrine
will be better established.
Gen. Cass was very clear in the opinion that
Congress should now do what 1t has often before
refused to do--afirm the Monroe doctrine. Thn
is practical suggestion, and now, while his hand

After much urging the President has finally
rendered the mission at London to the Hon. Geo.
NJ Dallas Had he adopted this conclusion three
weeks ago it might have prevented some Of the
difficulty which may now occur, resulting from tho
request for Mr.. Champions recall. 1t was desira-
Bile on all accounts that Mr.. Buchanans success
sor and that demand should have been presented
simultaneously, so az to have brought the British
Government to the direct issue of receiving or re-
ecting an unexceptionable Minister from sthe
United States, when causes had been specifically
assigned for the dismissal Of their own. Dis.
patches were sent by the steamer which sailed
from Boston today requesting Mr.. Buchanan TO
retain his position until his successor appeared.
This precaution may prevent delicate point from
being raised, which might have been seized upon
if the Legation had been intrusted to Mr.. Camp
bell, Consul at London, as was proposed Nov
the alternative OF rejection or reception must DO
met when the new Minister appears.
No intelligence has yet been received ann0unc-
ing Mr.. Dallas's acceptance of this position. lie
has no fortune TO spend, and as the late law de-
prives the foreign missions OF the OUTFIT which
was heretofore one of their attractions, the induce
ment 10 90 to London is somewhat abated. Still
Mr.. Dallas is not declining man, where Office il
concerned. and he may not be insensible to the
impression that this compliment may have been
offered as salve to bis wounded spirit fur The
