The friends of Muruaga, the Spanish Secretary
Of Legation, state emphatcaly that hs did not
draw the pistol on Mr.. Corsoran, but threw his
glove at him, intending BY the insul! to provoke q
duel, and that Corcoran then drew his weapon, but
did not FIRE. Muruaga has not withdrawn from
the Embassy, but got leave Of absence.
The impression prevails 10 naval circles here that
the vessels composing the telegraphic feet laid to
at mid ocean to avoid the prevailing winds and
weather, though little hope is entertained OF sue
cess. After the experiment Of last year, Lieut..
Maury advised August as the month for making the
experiment upon full comparison of the books.
The Wabash and Macedonian, which were sent
to the Gulf, have been ordered to pursue their
original course 10 the Mediterranean. The Fulton,
Arctic and Water Witch are ordered home lesy-
ing the original Home Squadron in possession.
The Fulton, Water Witch and Harriet Lane,
mounting ten guns in ali, compose the main force
for Paraguay, and under Capt. Page, can hardly
get ready before the lst of October or reach their
destination before January. Consequently, Con-
eress is likely to be adjourned before their opera
tiOnswill be known here. The Paraguayan fort on
Parana River mounts 100 guns which were well
aimed on former occasions.
Senior Mata, the agent Of Juarez, has not bsen
recognized in any form by this Government, aud
cannot be under tie established usage, as he does
not represent the de faetO Government of Mexico.
He has had sn interview with Mr. Cars as a private
individual, nothing more. He is mere politician,
with very exaggerated ideas Of the Nike Walsh
type.
The Secretary Of the Navy has assigned, under
the late act one sloop to be built q. each of the
ports Of Portsmouth, Boston, New-York Philsdel-
pbis Norfolk snd Pensacola; the seventh s yet un.
determined, but claimed BY Washington, and urged
for Philadelphia. Political necessities will probably
decide in favor Of email aide wheel steamer for
the Chinese ,ess, 10 be ordered at San Francisco.
