WALKER RECOGNITION IN THE SENATE.

From Our Own Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Thursday, May Is, 1856.
The Presidents final purpose to receive the
Nicaragua Minister was not communicated to the
Secretary Of State nor the Cabinet until yesterday
afternoon near two o'clock, when he called upon
Mr.. Marcy and arranged for the presentation,
stating the hour when Padre Will would attend and
accompany him to the White House. Mr.. Gushing,
who has been for and against the reception, accom-
panied the President on this occasion.
NJ Msrcoletta was informed officially yesterday
at personal interview by Secretary Marcy, that
bis diplomatic functions had ceased, and he is now
preparing formal protest against the recognitlon
which will be transmitted on Monday or Tuesday
Most Of the foreign Ministers called on him after
the intelligence circulated, expressing their SYM
patty and an idea is entertained, but not decided
upon, of general remonstrance.
The Union is significantly silent this morning on
the reception, not even noticing the fact. 1t is
mysterious affair throughout, though its inspira-
lions are not secret.
The rumors, alleging that the British answer to
the demand for Mr.. Champions recall had been
received by the America, Atlantic, or any other
channel, are fabricated out of whole cloth; has
such intelligence reached Mr.. Champion. The
character of the reply is anticipated but nothing is
absolutely known.
Gen. Almonte, who had an offer of the British
Mission before leaving here, has accepted the ap-
pointment, according to the last advices from
Mexico, and will proceed to London Immediately
So far from Gen. Gadsden having negotiated
treaty with Mexico, COmOnfOrts Government has
more than once expressed desire for his recall.
The steamer Susquehannas departure for Nicar-
aqua has no connection with the recent difficulties
or the new policy. She is sent to replace the ves
sells Of the Home Squadron ordered to Aspnwall
after the late ARRAY, and to afford protection at
San Juan againstthe recurrence of the interruption
of passengers at that point by British or other in
reference. The regular vessel may have returned;
if 80, or upon the presence of any other the Sus-
quehanna will sail Immediately under present or
ders for the Mediterranean.
The President has promptly returned the Iowa
Land bill with his signature, so that obstacle to
Wholesale appropriations is removed.
The Central American Message is specious and
plausible to superficial observation, but contains no
facts or arguments not already exhausted. 1t will
not impress the country, Notwithstanding its nge-
nuity. Mr.. Crittenden earnestly opposed Mr..
Masons motion 10 refer and print, saying that the
Message should not leave the possession OF the Sem
ate without some emphatic expression. He said
that the country would be agtated by war ramors
within week, unless this spirit was rebuked now.
He showed that this recognition was departure
from the principles of this Government, and the
policy established by President jackson in the case
Of Texas.
Mr.. Mason repliei by casuistical distinction be-
tween the recognition of Nicaragua and the recep-
tion of her Minister, contending that the former
may not involve us at all, being already recognized
He could not see from what quarter war was to
come; but if it is to be precipitated on account OF
difficulties with England, he was resdy.
Mr.. Wellers whole figure for Walker and defense
of his position, on the ground of having been in
vited to Nicaragua by the Democratic party, gave
a one sided history of the local revolution.
The debate was continued, and will be resumed
with increased spirit. 1t is evident however, that
the Democracy is subdued by the Executive, and
will surrender the projected opposition.
