FRox WAsHNGToN.-The correspondent Of
the \. Y Times telegraphs to that paper
from Washington, under date of Dee. 8;
Mr.. PARROT, delegate from Kansas, has
received official notification that the Leaven-
worth Constitution is on its way here to be
presented to Congress, with a request for adj
mission into the Union. He will oppose any
action on the ground that the d. cument was
framed as an expression of the popular will
in opposition to the Lecompton fraud, and
that the people now don't want Il State gov
eminent.
/ Letters received from General Walker show
! that, week ago, he was still in Mobile,
i having determined TO postpone his embarka-
ton for the present. He will probably wait
until Sir William Gore Ouseey has conclud-
ed his treaties with Nicaragua, when Eng
land will no longer have any special desire to
exclude him Southern opponents of Walk
er declare that il is his intention TO Iut up Il
veseel for San Juan every few days, and il a
clearance is refused. he will sue the collec-
tors for damages. There is no doubt that
in the present state of public sentiment in
Mobile, juries will award heavy damages
This prospect seriously alarms the friends Of
the Collectors, and must embarrass the Pres
id, mt.
The fllibusters in Congress are getting
ready to make fierce war upon the Presi-
dents opposition to Walker. There will be
row in the Democratic ranks within a
week if the Republicans are wise enough tc
keep out Of the ring
The Washington correspondent of the
Journal of Commerce writes
1.-The Mexican problem is to have the COM
mencement of its solution in the seizure, b.
the United States, of the port Of Guayma'
and the province of Sonora. The result o.
the visit of the Savannah to Guaymas is look
ed for with interest. The only question il
whether Congress will take this matter il
hand and direct what is to be done, or wheth
er by some general resolution they will
throw the whole matter upon the Executive
merely giving him power to do what he ma!
please with it. The last would be danger

such is the inefhcency Of Congress for legis
lation that the tendency Of things is great,
