:. The Administration are very anxious about the
susan," which lately left Mobile with fillibusters.
II the English cruisers at San Juan capture the
"susau," it will create great excitement In the
United States, and cop,plicate the discussion
growing out of the Cnyton-Bulwer treaty. The
President is saLguine Of arranging our Central
American difficulties, if the flibusters do not
conpcate the subject. The opening Of the Te:
.huantepec route, will diminish in a very great
degree the importance Of the routes by Panama
and Nicaragua. The politicians here, opposed to
the Democracy, are trying very hard to bnrmoni1e
the various elements of opposition, so as to run
some such man as Crittenden. The sectional an
ta eonism does not seem to be as strongly marked
this session as usual Kansas being substantially
disposed Of, the Black Republicans have nothing
interesting to shrek over. ..
Washington is unusually quiet this winter, but
it is thought things will become lively il January.
Judge DOUGLAS will be here in few days. He
will not make clamor about his deposition from
the head of the Committee on Territories. His
policy will be conciliatiop, this winter.
