What can have been the motive which has led
the diplomatic corps at Washington to advise the
Dutch Minister not to appear as q witness in tho
recent case Of homicide, of which be was Q
spectator 7
The motive, probably. was an amiable one-re-
gard for the personal safety Of Mr.. Dubois. Had
that gentleman witnessed homicide committed
here in New.York, no doubt his diplomatic breth-
rem would have been of one accord as to the pro-
prety of his testitng in the case, even though he
might have felt himself compelled by his recol-
lectiOns of the circumstances to contradict the
exculpatOry statements of some Of the cul-
prit's friends and boon companions. But
ought Mr.. Dubois to be exposed to the danger
of being himself shot What security has any
man in such state of society as that st Washing
ton, except in holding his tongue In city where
assaults by drunken rufians are committed in the
streets without any notice on thepart of tho police,
where member of Congress may shoot waiter
one morning at breakfast, and the next morning
take bis seat in the House as welcome as ever, who
knows what might happen to Mr.. Dubois should no
appear on the stand and testify to the truth A
citizen Of the United States must, Of course, run
such risks but the diplomatic gentlemen at Wash
ington are, we suppose, Of opinion that being
foreigners and strangers they have right to keep
themselves out of harms way, by taking shelter
behind their privileges.

THE CABINET-FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

From Our Ow, Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Wednesday, May IA. 1856.
The rumors of disuniOn between the President
and members of the Cabinet are wholly unfounded,
as is that of the retirement of Mr.. Marcy. The
differences of opinion regarding the reception Of
the Nicaraguan Minister, while positive, have as
sumed no such shape, and are not incompatible
with existing friendly relations.
The Committee on Ways and Means have made
no movement whatever on the tariff, % alleged,
and will attempt none until the majority are pres
sent. No special interest will find encouragement.
Mr. Buchanan had an interview Of several hours
with the President this morning, making per-
sonal report of bis mission. His friends are much
buoyed up BY the demonstrations made 10 his favor
Gov. Wise writes that twO-thirds of the Virginia
deleQation is secured for Mr.. Buchanan, which Is
confidently denied in equally responsible quarters.
Mr. Buchanan returns to Lancaster on Monday
without visiting Virginia.
SIR. ClaytOns denial Of Mr.. Champions aiiegs-
ton that he had admitted to the latter that Ruatan
was as much British possession as Jamaica, made
quite sensation in the Senate, being sustained by
Mr.. Crittenden, who was present at the particular

was prepared to testify to the same effect having
seen Mr. Champion after the interview mentioned
and received similar statement from MIN.

The President has received Padre Will as Min
lister from Nicaragua, and of course recognized
the Walker Riyas-F ilibuster rule, which is (or
lately was) cOntending for existence there, as the
actual and rishtful Government.
This movement reflects credit neither on our
Government nor its Executive head. 1t is die
tated by the exigencies of the candidate, not by
the convictions Of the President or the require
ments of public duty. 1t is the step of man who,
having made one blunder, strives to redeem it by
making another even more indefensible.
1t was wrong in our Executive to discredit the
Nicaraguan Fillibusters at the outset. When
Parker II. French first presented himself at Wash
iDgton ss Minister from the Rivas-Walker Gvern-
ment, there was not vestige of overt resistance
to it in all Nicaragua. 1t was apparently as fully
established and generally obeyed as Queen Vic.
torias rule in Britain or Louis NapOleOn's in
France. The President then, according to the fixed
and proclaimed principles Of our Government, had
no right to look behind the fact that Rivss was
President and Parker H. French his fully &C.
credited Minister. Ii he chose to reject French
as personally obnoxious, he was at liberty to do
90, but not that account to discredt his Govern.
ment. He should at once have notified Rivas g.
Co. through Wheeler, 81 cannot receive French
"as IN Envoy; but send an unexceptionable man,
"aDd he .hal be welcomed" And to such
message Rivas and Walker could have taken no
just exception.
When Walker and Rvas ruled unquestioned,
our Government fouted them. In defiance OF the
settled American doctrine-the only true and safe
doctrine-On this important and delicate point,
they repelled the undoubted Envoy Of the actual
| aud only Government of Nicaragua from 'heir
doors. A messenger from pirate or SLAYER could
| hardly have been treated with more contumeiy'
Since then, aspects have bIavely altered walker
and Rivas are no more the undisputed rulers oil
Nicaragua They have invaded aneighbOriDg State,
and been most disastrously hurled back. They
have been beaten on their own soil. A large por-
u'n Of it was in the hands Of their adversaries at
cur ia'est sdvices; it is highly probable that the
