Washington has seldom been less inter esng than 1t is

under debate in the House, and may in time ni ter

this subject rapidly approaching its cad, which viii
serious loss to the Niger worshppers Besides,
the daily expectation Of the fountain head Is
much dreaded and earnestly looked after. Governor
Shannon has been instructed BY the President upon the
subject and before leaving this city, he had declared his
intention to crush the rebellion al hazards and a any
cost. A month from this, two months at farthsst

In the Senate the feeling with Great Britain also

The friends Of Gen Walker complain OF his recent acs
as tending 10 make his government unpopular with the
people of this country. C. Kinney has a. ead7 found
syDpathisers, by the treatment he received while
in Nicaragua and there those who opeoy
give TO Walker the not vey popular title OF
dictator. By tie las. arrivals letters were received
in this city, stadrg among other things, that

nomination OF Franln Pierce, and this by the

leave this matter to The Cincinnati Democratic Conven
