Another correspondent says;
There was no further action in Cabinet to-day
upon the recognition Of Walkers Government
or the reception of Minister Viii. The question
stands upon its adjourned basis at the meeting
last Thursday, when the majority voted affirma-
lively, and subsequent to which the President
authorized Mr. Hi 10 bring the new Minister
here. Indeed, it is understood that matters had
progressed so far that Padre Wills presentation
speech was prepared, and the points either had
been or would be submitted to the President
for the arrangement of reply.
It may now be assumad for certain that If Mr..
Pierce adheTes to this recent inclination, Walker
will be recognizei, despite any disagreement in
the Cabinet u o the poicy of the act. There
arc some manifestations to-day of \ change of in
clination at the White House, from misgivings
in other quarters This feeling may be super
seeded tomorrow.
