WASHINGTON, Nov. 81 AS far as can
be asccrtained, the Cabinet arc united in
sustaining the action. of the Kansas Con-
stitutional Convention; whatever prefer
cncc there may have been for submitting
the entire Constitution to the people, are.
,now agreed that the mode now proposed for
the inhabitants to settle the question of :,
slavery, is in accordance with the letter
and spirit of the Kansas Nebraska Act.
Dispatches to the New i ork Herald, say
that while the President endorses the action
of the constitutional Convention of Kan
sas, Governor Walker dcnounces it in no
measured terms, audtstands pledged to de-
| feat it.
The latter says that should an effort on
| the part of Congress to force that Constitu-
ton OH their people without their voice be-
ing heard be made, it will surely be follow
ed by rebellion and bloody civil war
He also says that the opposition to it in the
Territory is almost universal.
Governor Walker had another interview
with the President to-day. The Cabinet
is also engaged on the same subject.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-The impress
sion here this evening is that the organiz-
alton of the House of Representatives will
be completed OH the first day of thcsesson.
Only two of the South Carolina members
will go into the caucus on the Spcakcrship,
unless it be deemed necessary in order to
secure Col. 0rr's nomination. The indi-
cations are that the whole South will vote
for Col Orr Oh the first ballot.

will soon have quite large force in Nicar-
! aqua. Names of emigrants are daily Of
fcring, and several hundred are now on the
eve of departure. His plans are said to be
more complete than his departure in the
Fashion with three hundred men seems to

BRITISH ATROCITIES IN Very
grave statements, says the London Morn
ing Star, have been made in private and
official circles, respecting certain transac-
tions at Cawnporoand Dinaporc, and which
are supposed to afford an explanation OF
the late order of the Governors General Of
Indiain favor of clcmency and justice, and
of the strong accusations made by Gen.
Oatam against soldiers under his copl-
luand. These matters cannot be long con-
ccaled from the public. They point to
new massacres that have taken place at
Dinapore and Cawnporc; but, unfortunate
