Official Correspondence ON Central Amertea-
Annual Cabinet Reports-Congress and the
Speokcrship.
We are overwhelmed with State papers.
Trey are things of high importance and of
much interest to the whole American people.
We must do our best to publish them as re-
ceived. in order to keep our readers up with
the official records Of the day. In our endsa-
Yors to this end We are compelled this morning
TO sacrifice the usual varieties Of the HERALD
foreign and domestic, in order to make room
for the official correspondence between our
government and that Of England on the Gen.
trai American imbrog.io, and for the annual
reports from the War and Navy Departments
a. Washington. We have also On hand TIE re
ports OF the Interior and Post Office Depart
nents which, together with the official CORES
poDdence on the Danish Sound Dues, and the
annual message Of our State Governor, (pro-
vi5Cd they elect Speaker at Albany in the
intervaI,) ae expect 60 lay before our readers
az their p9lvical irs-allaan. for tomorrow and
nexi day.

on The other side, that John Ball gives quite q
different Interpretation TO this remarkable and
flexible Clayton-BulWer treaty, and is by no
means prepared either to abandon the Mosquito
king Sambo, or TO reliuquish those new colo
mics Aforesaid he thinks, however, that there
is no necessity for a public disturbance upon
these triGes while our administration, without
humbug this time, but with something OF real
excitement, ould have US believe that we are
on the very verge of war;
Il i little curious, also, that while thsse
Central American usurpations aud treaty 10.
fractions BY England were exactly the same Ia
1853 as at the close Of the year 1855 they
should only just COW be brought to the point
Of cosus beN Why this delay? We see they
have been putting off Mr.. Buchanan in London
pretty much as they put off the impatient and
earnest soule from time to time al Madrid:
and as Marcy is slow coach, it may really
have required, in his case, all of two years
to compass the exact points of the controversy
IN that tangible shape which Old Hickory
would have made bis ultimatua in less than six
months Let us congratulate ourselves, how
ever, that the inaugural is to be redeemed upon
the very heels Of the Cincinnati Presidential
