The Government achieved a victory last

Upon the whole, the Cabinet has better

WASHINGTON, MAY l4.-Padre Will presented
his credentials to-day, and was received by the
President as Minister from the Walker Govern
ment in Nicaragua The usual courteous
speeches were interchanged. The President
in his remarks significantly said he would en-
force the neutrality laws. Senior Marcoleta is
greatly disguised.
There is 20. the least foundation for state
ments made by contemporaries, that Great Brit
ain has formally refused to recall Mr.. Champion
or yield on the Central American question. No
dispatches whatever were received by recent
steamers. A long despatch had been prepared
by Lord Clarendon, defensive of Mr.. Cram pton,
and declining to recall him. This was consid-
cred in the British Cabinet on the 22d ult, but
was not forwarded, as is supposed, in conse-
quence of doubt as to its propriety or policy

ed its adjourned session on the 18th inst, and

night to postpone balloting for United States

PROVIDENCE MUNICIPAL ELECTIoN-Prori-
dence, May l5.-At the municipal election in

was elected Mayor, by about 500 majority. Ali
of the American candidates for Aldermen, and
% ofthe % Councilmen, were elected.
RECRUITS EoR NIoAEAGUA.-NeU Orleans,
May, l6.-The news from from Washington,
respecting the reception of Padre Will, has
given fresh impetus to the Nicaragua fever in
the South, and the steamship Daniel Webster,
which will probably sail on the ed, will take
out great number of recruits for Gen. Walkers
army.
CENTRAL AMERICAN DoCUMENTs.-There has
been laid before the British Parliament, by the
Government, volume of more than three hun
dred printed pages, embracing all the despatch.
o. and correspondence relative to the Central
american question. The volume, it seems, con-
sists of l89 dispatches but the whole ques-
ton (says the London Tines is very ably re-
sumed in Lord Clarendons note in reply to the
statement drawn up by Mr.. Buchanan, giving the
views of the United States Government as to the
engagements contracted by Great Britain, under
the treaty of 1850, as regards the Mosquito pro-
tectorate, the British settlement of Balize, and
the Island OF Ruatan. The other dispatches refer
to the negotiations previous to the Bulwer-Clay-
ton treaty, to the occupation of Tigre Island,
to the Cyane affair at Greytown, to the alleged
insult to the American flag by the commander
of her Majesty's brig of war Express, and to the
various attempts at a satisfactory settlement of
all questions relating to the proposed route and
