FROM WASHINGTON.

oct. 12.-Atialrs with Nicaragua are coming to
point Gen. Jerez was received by President Bu-
chanan Special and Extraordinary Plenpoten-
tiary from President Martinez Speeches
made on both sides, bet it is very remarkable that
neither Of these official orations is reported in The
Union, though such is the practice. Mr.. Buchanan
said, among several significant things, that he
ceived Cen JereZ with the greater pleasure be-
cause he the bearer Of the treaty, as concluded
between the two Governments, and ratified by
the supreme legislative authority of Nicaragua.
Previously to being received, however, a bargain
was struck between General Jerez and the Secre-
tary of State, by which the former agreed to de-
liver the Cass1 rissarri Treaty as ratified by the
Constituent assembly, to apologize for the Mar
tincz manifesto exposing the purposes and policy
of this Government to France and England and
to sign convention providing indemnity for the
murder of Americans during the Flbuster war.
Now Gen. Jerez has, since entering into those
stipuatons sprained his ankle and has not been
able he says, to visit the State Department. but
he has been able to repudate every one of the
gagements into which he has entered He now
says his reception was wholly unconditional, and
declares that the President, in his speech, said
nothing about the delivery of the Cass-l fissarri
Treaty. and that he does not intend to deliver it,
This new turn of affairs has an origin in circum
stances which give to the Administration grave APP
prehensions Since the reception of Cen Jerez
he has been visited by Col Perez, the Private
Secretary of President Martinez. and who is APP
pointed Secretary to the Extraordinary Embassy of
which Jerez is the nominal chief. 1t Is understood
here that Perez is appointed n spy upon his
perior and that he is in the interest Of the Belly
party. As to Senor Jerez, he has been purchased
up by Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt. of course,
it is not for me to make myself responsible for
these various statements but they believed by
those representing interests opposed to Belly and
Vanderbilt
Finding that Gen. Jerez had fallen into the
slough OF fnesse Gen Cass wrote to him that, unless
he reformed the conditions of his reception, ''hs
mission would be terminated;" that Is, that he
would be sent oli-dismissed. To this the Plenpoten-
ary has vet made no other reply than that his leg
is very bad. Whether Cass will let him off on
lame leg, remains to be But he threatens and
the President does the same, that unless Jerez
comes up to the scratch, he will take bodily posses
sion of the IsthmuS route, and enforce the treaty
which he at so much trouble to make.
In all this you will perceive margin for good
deal of sharp correspondence and some sharp work.
| | know Gen. Cass and Mr.. Buchanan great deal
better than some of the operators in Transit con-
tracts, and have faith whatever that they will
do anything more serious than to fret and to talk.
But may state acurrent expectation that JereZ
will be promptly dismissed, and that San Juan
the Atlantic and RaeejO the Pacific side will
be occupied by American forces within four months.
When Douglas made his first Chicago speech in
July last the Washington Union expressed great
astonishment that he should have reopened the set
tied issues of the last session of Congress- In this
matter the Union sincere, for it aware of
a fact of which the public ignorant. There
had been negotiation between Mr.. Douglas and
the President in which they mutually agreed to
ignore the past. Mr.. Douglas stipulated not to dig
up Lecompton nor attack the Administration, nor
to assail the English bill; while on his part, the
President engaged to let the Judge and Illinois poll
tics alone until after the election. These articles
were upon certain conditions, which have not been
divulgcd. but of the conditions violated by
the President before Douglas reached Chicago.
Oct. 13-Gen. Cass has recovered from illness suf-
fcienty to attend to business to-day He had an in
terview with Jerez and Herran at the Department.
Jerez still refuses to deliver the Cass1 rssarri trea
ty, unaltered. Cass informed him positively that
amendments would be admitted. Jerez promised
to exhibit new powers tomorrow, at noon to which
time the conference adjourned.
If no agreement is concluded, Jerez will be in
formed that his mission is at an end.
Mr.. Buchanan lately petitioned by distin-
guished Democrats of New York to suspend hostili
ties against Douglas. He replied:
"The unity of the Democratic party shall be pre-
served, though you lose every Congressinal dis
trict of New York.
The President was prepared for the disaster in
