there was some necessity for a pledge of

No official intelligence Of more importance than
that contained in the newspapers was received
here by the AragO's mail. Indeed, most OF our
Ministers abroad are quite rs apt to gain their
information from the journals Of the day as from
more authentic sources; and consequently with
few exceptions their dispatches are but rehash
of the common rumOrs accessible TO everybody.
Mr.. Buchanan, having wound up the discussion on
Central America has repeated his desire to be
relieved Of the mission. 1t is probable, however
that very important dispatches were sent to MIN
by the steamer last Saturday, which may induce a
reinforcement Of this purpose until he can commu-
