WAsnISGTos, July I3.-Grcat efforts
have been made by persons Of influence,
including certain Senators, it is said, to
induce the administration to take notice
officially Of Mr.. Muruaga's challenge to
Mr.. Corcoran. Up to the present time
the government has wisely abstained fr,m
interfering in the quarrel, remembering,
probably, the recent case Of a fast Young
American Secretary Of Legation CMr
Soulc) challenging a grandee Of Spain,
the Duke Of Alva. The Spanish govern
ment did not interfere, but the Duke
fought the Secretary. Mr.. Muruaga Is
Secretary of Legation, and may any day,
BY the absence or death Of Mr. Tassara,
be Minister, and il therefore entitled to
some consideration, though he may be a
foreigner. The account Of the affair, as
first published in the Herald, is minutely
correct.
Gen Cass il better to-day.
The Treasury Department is informed
Of considerable increase in the income Of
revenue at New York and other ports.
