The New Administration.

The policy of Mr.. Bucaanan's adufnistra-
ton, as foreshadowed in the news brought
by the last steamer, must prove em;nently
satisfactory to those who have made their
homes on the Pacinc coast The virtual re-
lection of the Dallas Clarendon treaty by
the Senate, on account Of the position as
signed TO the Mus2uito Indians, opens ne
gotistions for a new treaty, in which it is be-
level straightforward American diplomacy
will prevail. England must abandon her
absurd protectorate, and those Indians, some
thousand or fifteen hundred in number, as
sumo their true positica toward the Nicara-
guam government
TIE affairs of Mexico appear to be ap-
proachn. a crisis Her internal difficult
ties, in which the Church appears to be
struggling fer the mastery of the State, and
the threatened descent Of Spain upon Vera
Cruz, places that unfortunate government
in an embarrassing position, and she natu-
rally turns 70 the government of United
States for mean to enable her to repress in
surrection at home, and repel enemies from
abroad. In tn embroiglia the interests of
our government lie with our sympathies for
Mexico. She eeds a few millions at the
present time to enable her to properly re-
ceive the SPANS h fleet at San Juan de Ulloa,
and carry rhe war into Africa" by an in
vasion of Cuba, and it is not doubted but
that it would be to our interests to supply
the government of Mexico with the four or
FIVE millions required for this purpose, for
the transfer to us of the Northern States OF
Lower California, Sonora, Chihuahua, New
Leon, Coahuila and Tamaulpas
This rupture between Spain and Mxico,
may open the way for the acquisition of
Cuba. The descer of the Spanish fleet upon
Vera Cruz. will doubtless be the signal for
the invasion of Cuba by the Mexican gov
eminent, and can but hasten the inevitable
and manifest destiny of the 4" ever faithful
Island"

TEHUANrEPEc- Tho New York Herald
publishes correspondence from Vera Cruz.
which states that serious disorders have
taken place in Tehuantepec, in which many
have been killed This has somewhat af-
fected the operations ON the I'thmus, and
one hundred persons have gone to the Uni
ted States, and eighty were on their way to
Vera Cruz The origin of the troubles, it
seems, had no connection with the work on
the road.

OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBA1H.-lt will
be seen by reference to another column, that
a large number of our principal business
men have agreed to close their offices and
places of business after l. o'clock on Sun
day. This is a good move, and we hope to
see it successful, as we believe that the bust
ness can be transacted during the week,
quite as successfully as to keep open during
the seven days, if our business men will adj
here to the determination to close on the
Sabbath. We trust this is but the inaugu-
Iation of determination to observe and Ie-
spect day which most of US have been
taught to revere.

From New Grenada we learn that the

Messrs. Morse < Borland have demanded
their passports, and were expected In Asriu-

render an armed occupation of the lsthmus
unavoidable, and you may expect to hear
the news Of such occupation OF Panama by
Commodore Mervin, on the return trip OF the
