WASHINGTON, April 3, 1851.
The Administration does not contemplate the
Withdrawal of the military forces now in Kansas.
The headquarters have been changed, aud soma
troops heretofore engaged in operations will b
transposed to relieve the difficulties resulting from
their presence, but the aggregate effectiveness wll
be rather increased than diminished. The purpose
is to appeal to patriotism and intelligence, as ind.
Gated by Gov. Walkers letter; but In the zen. Of
resistance or new outrsges, to invoke summary az.
thority. This is the Presidents understanding Of
the policy to be pursued, and was freely csnvsmd
at the Cabinet consultations which Gov. Walker
attended. Still, as the whole basis Of tho new
policy recognizes the existing condition Of thnss,
imposed by the Border Rufisns, and only provides
against additional wrongs under their own rale il
IL difficult TO see what the FreeState settlers arc
to gain by the compulsory administration Of the
laws sgaipst which they have demonstrated, or how
they are to be reconciled to the tyranny under
which they now groan. They get only peaceful
oppression at the best.
The rush for land office appointments SURPRISES
speculation through the knowledge thus obtained.
There are hundreds of applicants for the best cfic
Mr.. Whitfed's selection for the Regis'ership in

The Administration is now casting about for his
successor.
Mr.. Harris of Virginia, formerly Of The Cossi

dicated or approved by the President This nominal
change will not affect the real ownership or the re-
lations of the paper, and is a convenient sguiss
to secure patronage. Major Heisss new enterprise,
backed by Messrs. Arnold, Harris and others, will
contest the asceDdsucy and the printing.
No information has been received here that the
Mexican Government has or will accept what is
claimed as the fulflment Of Sloos grant at Tehuau-

plaDkroad should be constructed within time re-

that any road hos been built though buggy has
been driven across the Isthmus with much parade.
As boats were carried over on wheels years ago,
this fac. proves little. When this grant was OBJ
tanned, 5000, 600 were paid to Mexico by Nj. Sooi
agent through drafts on him negotiated BY Facones
on lien Of its assignment, which drafts were never
paid and are now in the hands Of Mr. Hsrgou'.
If, ss is supposed in some quarters, the alleged
road is not accepted By Mexico as literal or sub
stantia fulflment of the grant, its rejection would
involve the return Of the payment, which would DO
gladly made BY other parties, who are willing to
assume the responsibility.
An effort is to be msde to retain Dir. Forsyth 81
Mexico, notwithstanding bis recent blander' aud
