AFFAIRS II WAsHrNGToN.-Jan. Silt is un-
derstood beyond dispute that but for Mr..
Walkers revolutionary movements, Nicara-
qua and Great Britain would before now have
concluded a treaty satisfactory to the former
with regard to the Mosquito Territory and
kindred questions, and at the same time not
conflicting with the Clayton -Bulwer treaty.
The hundred votes cast for Mr.. Smith, Of
Virginia, for Speaker this afternoon, were by
the friends of Nessrs. Orr and Fuller, with
Mr. Wheeler added. Messrs. Barclay, Hick-
man, Williams, and Haven voted with the tri-
umphant opposition. The plurality will again
be voted on Tomorrow, with better prospect
of success than heretofore.
According to an official decree just receiv-
ed from Stockholm, the Swedish Govern
ment has removed the import ana export duty
from various kinds of iron.
| In the Senate, to-day, Mr.. Seward made an
able speech on Central American affairs, en-
| forcing the Monroe doctrine in forcible Ian
/ guage, and alluding to the possibility Of war
! with England. Concerning the present con-
1ict now convuIsing Europe, he says the Brit
/ ish administration has long been unfaithfui TO
! the cause OF free institutions in Europe, and
| the French empire is, in my eyes, hateful
usurpation. Nevertheless, both these admin
istrations are temporary and practically ephenl-
cral, while the Russian empire is obstinate
and portentious reality. I accept, says Mr.
! Seward farther, the oracular exposition Of the
first Napoleon, and believing that Europe must
! soon be either Republican or CosSacll, I rec
ognize beneath the masks Of the Allies the
western nations contending against an adyan-
cling despotism. Although no duty and 70
prorrety requires us to intervene on their
side, should be very unwilling to engage my
country in combination against them. I re.
gret also the sad condition Of the Central y
merican States, which seems to render them as
incapable of profiting by our Intervention as
the French people were when in 1883 they de-
mau-led a like interposition, the fulllment ol
precedent treaties of commerce and alliance.
Nevertheless a war with Great Britain is among
the possible solutions of present embarrass-
ment. We certainly can look for no modera-
tion on her part hereafter if We overlook heI
persistent refusal to fulfil this the most iTnpor-
| tant Of al our international engagements. Ii
viii be an idle dream TO suppose ourselves free
and safe, if ave leave her to waylay us on al
sides of all our isthmus passages from our At
lantic region to the Pacific States. lie coun-
sells notice to Great Britain that we shall in
tcrfere to prevent her exercise of dominion il
South America if it shall not be discountin
ued within year, and also that authority be
now given to the President to execute that de
layed purpose.

Gov. SHANNON is now violently denounced
by the s'Border Rufiians" and all their news
paper organs, for making peace with the peo-
pie of Lawrence during the late outbreak
They profess to consider the terms fthe treaty
as outrageous and insulting. The truth ap-
pears to be that, when the Governor reached
Lawrence and listened TO the statements of the
Free Soilers, he found that he had been eyre
giously deceived by the Border Ruffians, and
SO did not hesitate TO do the best he could, by
making peace upon such terms as he thought
likely to satisfy both parties.

this afternoon the consideration of the House
Bill was fixed for wednesday next, after the

WAsuINGroS, Jan. 29.-As Mr.. Greeley Of
the New York Tribune, was coming from the
Capitol this afternoon, he was attacked by Mr.
Rust, of Arkansas, who, with his fists, naict-
ed several blows on Mr. Greeley's head; and
afterwards, as he was approaching the Nation
al Hotel, Mr.. Rust struck his arm severely
with stick. The assault, it is presumed, was
in consequence of certain structures in a Wash
ington letter in the Tribune Of Monday, on Mr.
Rust's proposition in the House, requesting
the candidates for the Speakership to withdraw
from the contest.

THE LIeuoR BILL II THE SESATE.-The Har-
risburg correspondent of the Phila'd. Ledger,
writing under date of the 3lst. Feb, says
The Liquor question is now fully before the
Senate Like the House, that body is divided
into three factions-those in favor Of the un-
conditional repeal of the act of last session,
and return to the old license system, those
opposed to repeal of that act under any Cir
cumstances, and those in favor Of the repeal
and the substitution of arestrictiye license sys-
TEN. The former are not in majority in the
Senate as they are in the House, but are very
pertinacious in their efforts to put themselves
right upon the record. The first movement
made by them was yesterday, to have the
House bill, repeating the existing law, refer
red to q select Committee Of five, rather than
to the Committee on Vice and Immorali-
ty. This, after long discussion, was lost,
