WAsHINGTcS, March %, 1857.
II was supposed from the ANNOUNCEMENT made
few DAYS ago upon the authority OF the White
House, that the Baltimore appointments we're bo,l-
" settled. But new s,r has been started from some
eu,barrss,n en-. in regard 70 the designated Post
mater and the present Dis.rct-Ac.orney and Mar
,bal and The Whole subject will have retearing in
Cabinet tomorrow. a delegation which almost
oyer.ha6ows the recent turn ont from NeH-Yorh n
low on the ground, proposing, perauadipg and pro-
testing, with the ssme sore OF patriotic vehemeoce.
There is no longer 6oubt fhis MIR. Whitlesey 10
to be superseded by NJ. Medl OF OHIO In the Con.
trollership of the Treasury. Mr.. Cobb came into
office with no favorable inclination toward the H.
cumbept, and be was prompt to seize the opoertu-
nifty of voluntary withdrawal, which Mr.. White
sew condionally rendered TO the President fort
night ago. Ohio is ravenous for Office, and the
pepsionng Of Meda'y and Medlll will hardly ap-
pease an sppetite which has been shsrpened oy the
flavor Of the good things about Washington.
Various statements have gained currency that
the President had modified the appointments 10 the
Dallas treaty, and cent it ont in form differing
materially from that adopted by the Senate. This
is entirely ni,take, in whole and IN part. IL was
within the province of the Executive to adopt or
reject the notifications advhed by the Senate, as
a branch Of the treaty. making power. But the
uniform usage has been TO do one or the other,
without qualification. He might have refused the
advice and instituted a new negotiation. Inc
adoption ordinarily implies complete acquiescence,
AL in the present case means it explicitly. II is
yeJv well known that Mr.. Buchanan did not en-
tirely approve the policy of his predecessor in
maklng this treaty, nor assent TO the positions
taken by Mr. Dallas in his correspondence on the
subject And though the notifications Uf the Sen
ate, sustained as they were with much effect aud
influence by Mr.. Jefferson Davis, have relieved
some of bis objections stl the arrangement does
not quite fulfil his own idea OF what the relations
betu cen the two Governments should be.
But in order to put the Central American ques.
ton at rest ard give earnest of the disposition
TO reclprocate the friendly expressions of Lord
Napier the President instructed Gen. Cass to pre-
sent The treaty in the precise shape came from the
Senate to the British Government, with a candid
exp, sition of bis own views. Although Lord \ pier
il unable to give any assurance as to the course on
the ether side from being but mperfecty posses sed
Of the views of the Government, owing 70 the sud
Less of bis appointment, little doubt lie entertained
here that the treaty will be promptly accepted and
notifications Immediately exchanged. Lord Pal
erston will have motive for this course, because
the assurance that all cau,es of difficulty with the
United States are removed cannot fail to strengthen
his position before the country 10 the appeal to be
made to it, through the dissolution Of Parliament In
NAV. The treaty will reach England during the
second week Of April, and thus give abundant time
for its considerations if there be the disposition that
is supposed to exist All treaties of importance
are sent by special messengers, who receive SO per
diem and their travelling expenses, with limitation
of the time of service Hence the flourish made in
this instance was little strained, and the import
ance Of the occasion ludicrously magnifed.
The treaty, projet of a treaty, or proposition OF
treaty, has been sent to Mexico all speculatons
to the contrary notwithstanding Mr. Batterheld
enc of the claimants against Mexico, who bought
MIR. Forsy,h's performance here, carried back the
flea which the President instructed should be put
in his ear. So far froil encouraging any new nego'
tiaitn now looking to the acquisition of territory
or otherwise Mr. Forsyth is directed no. to enter
upon any such enterprise without express authority.
The reasons why the Administration adopted the
policy Of its predecessor and declined to submit
the arrangement to the Senate make up the sub
stance of Gen. Cass dispatch, with the usual IN.
meaning expressions of friendship. MIR. Buchanan
has his eve fixed Cuba. After rotation, that is
the grand idea of the Administration and he thinks
an opening for its fulfllment is promised through
| the impending war between Spain and Mexico The
acquisition of the Gulf of California with some OF
the itch provinces like Sonora, is also keptin view,
but secondary to the main object, whchs no longer
concealed here. Thes reasons operate against any
ne gOtiatiOns like those suggested by rumOr just at
| this time, and Induce the President to watch and
wait for the chance toward which his ambition is
| earnestly directed.
| Since the we-founded impression has got about
that Mr.. Appleton is really to abandon The Union,
his name has been proposed for Assistant Secretary
Of State. Mr.. Buchanan has an exal ed opinion OF
his ability and strong personal attachment,
| which he does not hesitate to exhibit THIS sort
of estimation and position is sufficient to secure
him almost any appointment to which be might
| aspire, and it remains with himself to decide
whether the one suggested is sufficiently desirable.
