Secretary Cass expresses great surprise at
receiving no dispatches from Nicaragua, and
intimates that foul play is suspected on the
part of the British government Regrets are
expressed that we permitted England to take
the lead in Central American affairs, but Mr..
Buchanan throws the responsibility on Con-
gress. He says that if Congress had listened
to his recommendations on the subject, we
should now have a controlling influence on the
Isthmus. Instead of this, British poweris reg
ularly installed, and is alone respected"

"Mr Miles of South Carolina to-day present
ed his report in favor Of the removal of the
