Lord Napier has had several prolonged mr..
views with Gen. Cass, relative to subjects Of A..
respondence between the two Governments, durio.
the present week. To-day the conference was ann.
suaIly protrscted. There 10 now almost perf...
agreement between the United States and Graf
Britain. Their policy in respect to China, Ceutrl
America and Mexico is identical. Lord Nspie, h.
s;gui6ed to Gen. Herrsn that New-Ganads oouu
not expect British sympathy or support in refusing
the PREPARATION demanded by the United Stasss icr
the massacre of April, 1856. Gen. Cas- has recp.

world.
cause suspension Of the war against the Chinese,
as it will produce diversion of the army and navy
employed. In this case, the duty OF protecting
foreign interests in Chinese ports will devolve upol

captured the Psnchita. Gen. Cass has informed
Lord Napier that his department has no control ovee

CATION.
1t appears that more decisive measures are to b
taken 10 break up the Cuban slave-trade. 1t is b
the discredit Of this Government and the disgrace
of your city that nest of Spanlards and Portu-
oucse are permitted to make New-York the center
of their operations for fitting out and supplying the
vessels engaged in this infamous traffic. With the
suppression Of the trade that interest will fall, and
the capital now invested in it will seek other means
Of investment
A very remarkable fact has been communicated
TO me by a gentleman who sympathizes with the
South in all questions connected with Slavery He
says that the vessel lately seized and examined at
Savannah, Georgia, upon suspicion OF beng en-
gagged in the slave trade, but released fer want OF
proof bad really been prepared for voyage to AZ
RIGA. and that her owners intend to bring into Sa-

brought TO bear against the legality of the enterprise
they will take position against the right OF the Gen.
ersl Government TO prohibit the importation Of
merchandise essential to the interests Of the South
Should such conflict of State and Federal author

The persopsl friends of the President suppose
that he may remain at Bedford much longer than
has been stated. Mr.. Buchanan has been greatly
fatisued by the pressure of Office seekers, He
wishes to be rid their opportunities during the hot
weather. He also wishes to retain in his hands tho
greatest possible number of valuable appointments
until the meeting of Congress- in order to meet the
Southern malcontents with arguments addressed 70
their interests. The time has come for applying TO
the South its own maxims of governing BY judi
cious use of the patronage. Brown and Jef. Jaws
are showing their teeth in Mississippi ana aI over
tho Soutb are arising little anti. alker rliques.
which, unless Modified by the appointment Of their
leaders to something handsome, will be converted
into anti buchanan clubs Unless the President
conduct himself with great discretion and nerve.
