WASHINGTON. Monday, Apil S, Isa
The action of the Seoats on the Kansss bLl v,,
not made known to the House to-day. II is kan
back purposely, TO allow further chance for ca.
rstiDg. This very delsy damages the intended a..
sen, By exciting a.tention TO every weak point.
Mr. Stephens intimated tbs morning ti,. \,
would call the matter up on Wednesday. with u.
view to some discussion, By which be suppss.l
tae prospects Of Lecomptoa might BE- improved
He thought thst TIE general indications looked bs,
ter, but could not name angle conversion.
TIE Art;.Lecompton side sill count ccn6isak
on their entire force without hesitation, hnowias
that whoever defaults now mus, be hopelesly d..
graced.
Mohammed Pasha made sn application to he
Secretary Of the Navy to build the best tars.
decker that could be constructed fer Turkey. viii
out regard to cost. lie did not apprehend that snv
objection would be made. Judge OF his surprise,
when negs.,ye reply was given. He has uov
written home for Instructions to msSe pnss,s
contract. though it is suggested here that a nava
constructor may be assigned him, to prevent hin
rom being leeced.
The House accepted the Seaste ameDdsneot h
the Army bul, authorizing three regiments Of vo-
uuteers. One VI important feature only Vas de-
sen,ed from. The War Department hAi bess
offered ten regiments alIesdy aud will now seisc,
v th regard to their respective efficiency and sdap
tation to the peculiar service in hand. 1t Coz
templsted to reinforce Gen. Johnston with COW
men, including two regiments of volunteers. TexH
Arkansas. ew.MexicO and Kansas are to furrA
the main body of the regulars, leaving not A7~
net in the lsst place behind, if the Secre'ays par
pose and wishes are carried out.
Gen. Smith will leave on Wednesday, and, after
making brief personal arrangements in Phllsda-
pbia, will start for the West preparatory to ~
suming the command.
Negotiations are entertained here for the purchass
of Sonora and Other Mexican territory. Oyorturss
for the same purpose were made by Comonforts
Government at the beginning OF the Buchassa
reign, but were then declined, in consequence Of
the price demanded. The present deranged coa-
dition of Mexico offers better opportunity for
ACQUISITION and hence il is favored. The specn
minister or agent sent BY Juarez will not Do 70
ceived by the Administration, in consequence
Col Forsyth's seton in Recognizing Iuioass'
Government at the capital. The latter RETAIN
Robles who is acceptable here.
Serious embarrassments are involved in respect
to the New-York Custom-House appointments,
which will probably result in Bronsonizng Collector
Scheu A month ago be seat 10 fifteen or twenty
nominations, which have been kept suspendedk k
Secretary Cobb in consequence of being made IN
disregard Of the recommendations of the Consrcs-
sicnal Delegation. Since then be has declined 10
considering them and now distinctly refuses to msks
any others till they are acted upon. Dir. Cobb hM
called on ths City Delegation for the LIT Of tAs
desired appointments, but without committing him
elf TO make them. If he supersedes thos& already
made, Mr.. Schell will doubtless resign.
The President still expresses the belief that ne
will carry Lecompton, but without knowing how.
Mr. CobblE Eho undertook to engineer it some time
age, ASSURE him, after count of the House madd
up after conference with Speaker Orr and othen'
that the majority would be at least twenty.fsur Le-
compton, and probably more.

WASHINGTON, Monday, April s, 1853.
The Kansas bill has not yet been returned to tho
House, but is kept in the Senate in accordance viii
the plsn of delay, from the results of which tho
President processes still to have hopes of pssaI
Lecompton, with vague idea of producing disssa
sion among the Opposition Democrats. They me-
circulating absurd rumOrs about Ant.LecompM
men, asserting positively, for instance, that Msss
Clark, English, Cox, Pendleton and Foley have
gone over to Lecomptsn. Mr.. Slidell for the &
two or three days has been Iaborng with Mesan
Clark and English, but to no purpose; they apa
firm as ever. SO are Cox and Pendeton. Az M
Foley, no man in Congress is more decided agrSf
LecOmpton in any and every shape. In shoh"
one of the hundred and twenty wsvers.
The Presidents friends however, still talk coz
fdenty, and rely upon time and patronage and
Establishments to carry the measure. They VIII
not make any move to bring it up for some Ime !"
come, but if it reaches the House tomorrow mf'
Montgomery will move to adhere and densna Tao
previous question.
Col. Benton is much worse. He sent for cef'
gyman to-day, saying that he bad not long to'l's'
and wished to prepare for his departure.
