bitter hostility against the resolution passed ~ the
House for Cen Scott, and will eadeayor BY technI-

Senate. Efforts are nov making to answer Mr.
Claws inquiry by one-sided representations mid

relations to the Government. Such attempts viii

ended.
Mr.. FORSYTH, Minister TO Mexico wrote by the
last mail that the Postal treaty was progressing SAT
isfactorily and would soon be concluded. The
ridiculous features proposed by Gen. Gadsden are
abandoned and plain reduction, with increased
facilities, is adopted.
Negotiations are now pending between the United
States, England and France for the reduction Of
ocean postage to one half the present rates, and
modification of charges on continental correspond
ence by British transit. Some Of the propositions
submitted DO not quite meet the views of policy en-
tertantd here, since their practical effect would DO
