WASHINGTON, Nov. 2, 1857.
President Buchanan most unequivocally condemns
the action of Gov. Walker touching the Kansas cleo
tons, but yet there will be no removal. Secretary
Floyd was telegraphed TO New York on Friday even
ing last to hurry home to attend a Cabinet meeting
to-day on the subject Of Kansas, and l feel assured
that Walkers actions will be pronounced an error,
| and he will be reprimanded for falling into it in di.
| rect violation Of his instruction Of September Sth, in
| which he ia specially charged to leave all questions
of fraud to the Legislature where 1t properly belonged.
The President regrets this bluuder the more. as it
places the Southern members Of his Cabinet in an
| unpleasant position, and is likely TO reopen the Kan
sas question throughout the South. MIR. Buchanan
ia surprised that Gov. Walker should have fallen
into such an error, as bis instructions were too plain
TO be misunderstood, and were prepared TO meet pre-
oi.ely the state Of case which occurred. Yet. he
Gays II was only cn error. and his frst one, which IS
also rather a matter Of Surprise, as he has had to
steer through q narrow, crooked channel, full OF
snares, and developed in fog.
The impression OF Gov. Walkers friends here is,
that he will receive the reprimand, acknowledge the
blunder, aud let his name be submitted to the Senate.
IF the Southern fire. eaters are disposed to reject him
Lot them do so. Better this than sneak out Of the diff.
6culty As his predecessors did. Let the Senate reject
him and he will occupy a position from which he can
properly defend himself and the Administrations
Should be resign he will properly sink into political

him.
A letter from Mr.. Stanton, the Secretary of the
Territory, saw. that Gov. Walker is about starting for
The East, and il, is supposed be will be here by the
opening OF Congress-.
A dispatch from this city states that Sir WIN. Gore
Ousely has been charged with q settlement of the
Central American questions now pending with the
United States. am authorized to say that such is
no; the case. He is the British Minister TO the Cen
trail American States, and may possibly visit the Uni
ted States Ell route for Central America. He mar
ried a Mics Van Vess. when an attache Of the British
Legation here, and his object would he to visit his
wife's relations. No one who knows him would sup.
pose for a moment that PsImerston had entrusted
him with any special authority here; for he iss hea
w, stupid Engiishman, tIted only for the political
exile into which be has been or is about 10 be sent
i, wauld be but a poor compliment 10 Her Britannia
Msies,v's able and distinguished Minister Plenipo.
Tertiary aud Envoy Extraordinary, lord Napier.)
to send such an Individual az Sir William Ousely to
aid him in the d scharge of any official duty.
The news from Mexico, Just received here, is il'
portan;. The new cabinet had organized, and G n.
kobles is notified by a telegraph dispatch, that II
ia contemplation to transfer him 10 London. Should
this be true, he will retire from tho Legation here,
bearing with him the regrets of our government and
the kirdest wishes Of all who have been fortunate
enough 10 make his acquaintance.
