FROM WASHING TON.

From Our Own Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April A, 1859.
The President is still vees much disturbed about
the events 10 Nicaragua, and especially by the crit
icism which they have provoked ia regard to his
imbe cile conduct He has written two ei'tOria
explanations for The Union, both Of which are
lame, evasive, and unsatisfactory. In some ma
teri,l respects they pspsoy contradict each otaer
and q pIevsrication in regard to tho overtare OF
Lord Napier, for the sbrogstion Of the CLAYTON
Bulwer treaty is so transparent as to excite gen.
eral comment. Although he takes occasion to deny,
constantly, that Sir Gore Ouselcy had any negota'
tons with him on this subject the facts are too
apparent and too well established not TO make II
certain that this is subteruge adapted to meet the
exisency 1t may be literally true, as alleged, that
Sir Gore was detained here waiting his lnstruc'
toDs: but the belief is that he was collecting In
formation all the time, aud preparing the way Tor

recalled. When Sir Gore fret appeared 10 wash

had expired the presence of Walker IN Nlcarasu;
WAS assigned as an excuse for iurther stay, and
finally, il wound up by his taking an estsblshmeht
and remaining year. During all this time iu-
mors were rife 10 diplomatic ana Poiitcai ciIoies
that there was no accord between him and Lord
Napier. and this is pretty we'll borne out by the
,udden and vet unexpected recall Of the latter.
Sir Gore held on until he had squeezed the orange,
and then threw away the rind by an abrupt depar-
ture.
