natl convention, who are pledged to the
support of Douglas.
Bz9- Ex-Governor Bigler has been cho-
sen U. S. Senator from PENNSYLVANIA
This is looked upon as Buchanan tri-
umph.
asy- Rumors from Washington of war
like demonstration against England con-
tinue to be prevalent, but they are very
contradictory, and have but little effect
upon the markets. 1t is said that Presi-
dent Pierce is particularly anxious for the
organization of the House, as he has
special message to send in touching the
questions at issue between this country and
England.
WITHDRAWAL OF Mr.. BUcHAyAN FROM
THE Court OF LoNDON.-The following is
from the n. Y. Herald, of January 18th.
"The news brought by yesterdays Her
aid Of the probable withdrawal of Mr..
Buchanan from the court of England, has
produced in this city unusual excitement.
The President has had calls from almost
every quarter in relation to the subject |
have just learned that he will submit for
advice the matter to the senate in secret
session. 1t is probable that his communi-

Our RELATIONS WITH GREAT BRIrAIN-I
The difficulties growing out of the Cramp-
ton affair and the Central American treaty,
are still unsettled. The Washington I'M
Ton thinks there is a probability of rup-l
ture, and calls on congress to organize.
The senate transacts little or no bust
ness. The only debate of Importance took
place on the 10th Of January, when Mr.
Hale of New Hampshire announced his in
tention Of moving for a repeal Of the law
under which the naval retiring board was
created. The action of the board has been
very severely criticised.
EURoPEAN.-The intelligence from the
seat Of war in the East indicates that the
rumors of peace are not entirely without
foundation. Russia has agreed to the neu-
trality Of the Black Sea, but upon such
terms as would scarcely be accepted by the
Western Powers Her proposition is that
Turkey should have command of the Oar
danelles, and that the feet to be kept there
by Russia should only be limited by an
agreement between the Cabinet Of St. Pc
tersburg aud the Porte. This is on ultima
tum which France, and especially England,
would be most unwilling to receive. The
war has been undertaken with an especial
view to the annihilation of Russian power
in the Black Sea, and it is most unlikely
that after the expenditure Of so much blood
and treasure, the English Cabinet would
agree to any other proposition than that
which was announced at the conference Of
Vienna. In fact, it will require either the
most unrivalled diplomacy or the juncture
of Austria and Prussia with the Allies, to
settle the dispute. The point Of difference
is SO great, and the feelings Of the bellig-
erents have become so exasperated by their
mutual triumphs and defeats, that no arbi-
tration can determine it but that Of the
power Of endurance or brute force
REAcrIoN IN MEXICO. to El
Monitor of the 18th Of January, the coun-
ter Revolutionists have published their
plan, which is absurd, to say the least of it.
Their programme comprises oil the laws of
lSOSl or, in other words, the Inquisition
the tribunal Of secret orders or kitres de
cdehet, the monopoly of instruction, and the
tyranny of all the privileges. They vote
for Don Antonio Haro y Tamariz as Presi-
dent, for Don Jose Maria Lopez Uraga as
Minister Of Marine and War, Don Luis de

Don Almontc de Jesus Mungua as Minis
