order as soon rs the House meets; and such
measures have been adopted rs it Is supposed
will secure its passage. So large is the in.
terest at stake, that it is said m unlimited
amount Of money has been raised to insure
its success. The bill should be thoroughly
scrntinized, and on no account should the
Board of Commissioners be made irresponsi.
Bile, after the melancholy experience the
United States have had of Boards.
The President and Cabinet are very uneasy
ns to our relations with England. The gravest
fears are expressed, ard orders have been
given to all the Navy Yards to expedite the
work on hand.
1t may not be generally known that we
possess greater number of effective cannon,
of the latest construction, than all Europe
combined. Such, however, is the fact.
A distinguished member of the diplomatic
corps expressed his belief this morning that
England would simply hand Mr.. Dallas his
passports; and cease diplomatic intercourse
with us till the exit of Pierce.
A strong effort is now being made on the
part of a number of gentlemen who arrived
here on Saturday from Kansas, together with
DR.. Stringfelow and Southern members of
Congress, to induce the President to with.
draw the United States troops from Kansas,
in order, as they alege, that they may settle
the difficulty among themselves-in other
words, to let the pro.slavery and free State
men fight it out. The President, l am in.
formed, gave them no satisfaction. am as.
sured that the President will not be bound BY
the recommendation of the Senate, should it
pass that body, to send General Scott to
Kansas, but, on the contrary, will permit of
no interference in the plan which has been
marked out by him for the settlement of the
Kansas difficulties. Already, an additional
force of United States infantry and dragoons
have been ordered 10 join Colonel Sumner,
whose instructions are of more positive and
definite character than any which have thus
far been given to him.
The Cabinet had meeting to-day, when
the whole subject was discussed. The Presi.
dent is determined to adopt some measure to
settle the difficulty as speedily as possible.
The Democratic National Committee, who
have been in session here for some days,
closed up their business to day. They have
appointed John w. Forney (who is to be
stationed here) to attend to the confidential
business during the campaign. A good deal
of excitement and bad feeling has been pro.
duced by this announcement. There is also
rumor this evening that Forney is to 90
back into the Union newspaper. Quite a
