WASHINGTON, Monday, July 9, 1860.
THE SPANISH TREATY.
Mr.. Preston, Mioister to Spaic contemplates
returning immediately to Mad al, though bis mis-.
ion may be embarrassed by the rejection Of tho
recent treaty. which was made Independent Of any
instructions from the Administration. II IL be-.
ieved satisfactory eIplsl atoms may be made
which vii relieve the difficulty, and enable him %
counterfeit the objections Of the Senate by sub.ti
tuiing another form, but embodying tie same sub.
stance. Though sent to Madrid as the chosen
representative Of the acquisition Of Cuba. that
subject has never been preached, officially or
otherwise, for IL was distinctly signifed by the
Spanish Minister here, aztec the Presidents specii
message 10 Congress, that bis passports would
follow any further proposition. As mr. Buchanan
started it rely for political ptal, and failed to
btain any response from Congress, be va, willing
% drop it Like matters urged with the same pur-
pose.
Mr.. slideI, who was msinly Instrumental In
pressing the acquisition Of Cuba, for objects OF hs
own was as completely folled as when he at
tempted TO get the Houmas grant permanently con-
6rned by Congress.
THE GwIN BUCHANAN QUARREL.
TIE cause Of quarrel between Messrs. Gwin and
Buchanan grew out Of the contest between the
rival schemes for mail connection with California
Dir. Gwin claimed that it was ia his power to have
attached an amer dment to tie PostOfice Def
cheney bill, which passed the House in the expiring
hours OF the session. providing for the facilities
which were subsequently attached to the Post
Route bill that was lost. He alleges, as Is under
stood that the amendment was withdrawn upon
the assurance of Mes,rs. Buchanan aud Holt that
they had abundant power under existing laws and
would provide for the mail service, if be did not
press the point. Under these circumstances, he
claims to have waived the amendment, and when
Congress adjourned, iai,h was not kept.
This is the charge made BY Mr. Gwil's friends,
ard must be received with that condition. Siacs
his return here, a. Notwithstanding the rupture,
q conference is alleged to have taken place between
HIM and Il President, which, if true, would not
be creditable TO either party after what occurred
ten days ego.
The CHARLESTON AND HAVANA MAIL.
The mail service between Charleston and Ha-
vans usually performed by the Isabel, with
subsidy Of $4,000 per annum, is advertised very
quietly 10 The JomynaYof Commerce and Charleston
papers, where it may escape attention. This il
ODE of the best contracts in the gift of tbe Depart
ment, Ind the mail receipts are about one-6f,h Of
the maximum Of pay allowed By Congress- 1t is
worth attention.
THE OREGON ELECTION.
Joe Lanes friends still claim his reelection to
the Senate, in spite Of the figures by the overland
mail. Dir. Stout, member of the House, is par
tcularly confident, though ignored him-elf.
Mr.. BOWMAN AND THE CONSTITUTION.
The arrangement BY which Mr. Bowman retirss
from The Constitution, and Mr.. Browne, former
associate, takes his place. is private latter, and
has no connection whatever with the Breckinridgs
organization, though, perhaps, intended to operate
upon it. The greateet difficulty encountered by
the Breckenridge interest here is in fndiog an
editor Of sufficient character and ability to assume
tie entire responsibility during the canvass and Of
the control of the party organ afterward. All
their efforts thus far have failed, though seconded
by the most abundant means. They desire to cut
loose from the Administration if possible, knowing
il to be millstOLe around their Lecks.
Owing to Mr.. Bowmaps iodlsposition, the hear
ing in regard to the assault upon him on Saturday
was not continued to-day as expected, though Mr..
schpabie and his counsel were in attendance.
Both sides give different versions Of that affair,
which will be best determined BY the evidence be.
fore the Magistrate, or Jury, if an indictment
should be found.
mR. DOUGLASS FRIENDS SHAKING.
The friends OF Mr. Douglas complain that tho
Breckirridge men are far better organizedtnruusn-
cut the country aud have more sine@s Of war at
this central peipt to direct operations with.
THE BREcKINRIDGE MEETING.
The Breckenridge meeting to-bieht which is still
proceeding, is one of the largest ever held ia this
city. All the accessories OF music, display, ban
ners, and the like ID full requison, aud great
enthusiasm ia exhibited. Every speaker professed
the strongest devotion to the Union, and Mr.. Meek
of Alabama denounced the accusations against hs
State, as favoring secession, to be base caumnies
His people Only seeded FROM the rotten remnants
Of foul party; but they were 10y ally attached to
the Union and Constitution. Mr Douglas ard his
fiction of Squatter sovereignty were reviewed with
great severity, both personally ard politically. Mr.
Carlisle described MIR. Douglas as a gigantic
pismy.
