rendered his passports. Then, il England shall
not voluntarily disavow those acts of Sir Gore
Ouselsy, alleged to be of an offensive character
towards this country, which it is thought will
be the case, she will be formally requested to
do so. Meanwhile, vessels of our Navy will Be
ordered to points IN Nicaragua to protect the
interests of American residents there It will
be perceived, however, that all these movements
depend on the character Of future official nd !

in very different aspect 1t is said that the

TURNING AN H0NEsf PENSY-The Hon
Joshua r. Giddings, who, it will be recollected,
has just taken leave of congressional life, is
letting no grass grow under his feet, but is al
ready coming money by lecturing in New Eng
land where he is the lion of all the lions of the
times. Three quarters Of all the quarters or
halves being paid for tickets to his entertain
ments are doubtless paid for sights of him. The
burly old man is turning his remarkably hard
features to good account, indeed, after that
fashion. His subject is the trial of John Quincy
Adams by the slave power in the House of Rep
reseptatives," on which he has an opportunity
to reproduce all his stereotyped phrases, meta
phors and whoppers, so well known to many Of
the ways of the corps reportorial, as that by way
of joke when the old man had the floor of late
years, they were in the habit of repeating soto
roee to each other, his speeches, perhaps a SEN
tenee in advance Of their utterance. We can
fancy the earnest gravity with which he is hum
bugging the I" dear people" of Massachusetts
into the notion that in sitting under his preach
ing, they are hearing something now-fresh.
FACTS AND RUMoRs.-The N. Y. Herald's
Washington correspondent says:
"Private advices just received here intimate
that Sir Gore Ouseley will shortly quit Central
America, having adrOitly completed all the OBJ
Jects OF his secret mission. 1t is further stated
that he Will be ultimately accredited to the United
States, the mission of Lord Lyon being regarded
rs temporary .
1t is thought probable by some persons here
that ex-senator Jones, of Iowa. will withdraw
his declination of the Bogota mission.
The intelligence received from Mr.. Bowlin
by the last mail from South America, is said to
be of character decidedly encouraging to the
hope that the Paraguay difficulty will be
amicably adjusted. .t..,Est-
