MIR. Buchanan's dispatches express confidence
that the proposition of peace offered to Russia
VIII constitute something more than the mere basis
OF negotiations. He is clearly persuaded that the
prospect of pacificatiOn is at hand, and with
such guarantees will preclude any new rupture
after the treaty has been adopted by the contract
ing parties Other Ministers of this Government
located at important capitals in Europe, do not
concur at all in this expectation On the contrary,
they represent that Russia has given seeming
acquiescence, in order to obtain time and to rem
der her preparations for protracting the war more
formidable. Between these conflicting opinions
the public must decide.
The election of Printer to the House is cOnsid-
erably embarrassed. There were several absentees
from the caucus which nominated Mr.. Follett,
who do not entirely consider themselves bound by
the action on that occasion. There is a strong
conviction too, that so large an amount of patron
age as is centered on that particular Office should
be distributed, and propositions to that effect are
now pending which may lead to a contamination.
Otherwise the obstacles will be increased rather
than diminished.

In connection with the longsandng discussion rela-
tive to the affairs of Central America and the ques-
tion of coasting limits between Costa RIGA and Mica
ragua, new claim has been put in by New-Grenada,
Iayipg pretensons TO the same boundary which Costa
Rica claimed through the fundamentally of the late
Felipe Molina who published an interesting and COM
prehensive work on that subject.
Grenada, while expressing her readiness to re-
linquish all the territory on the coast from Cape Ora
ella, Dos TO the extreme south, insists that the tract
of land so exclusively claimed by the late Minister OF
Costa Rca belongs and always has belonged to New
Grenada in virtue of titles conferred upon her by
former treaties between the Republic of Columbia and
the former United Province of Central America.
