Washington Gossip.
Interesting from France.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-The reason
assigned at the Treasury Department for
suspending the printing of postal curren-
cy p and 80 cent notes, is that there is
already a sufficient amount of such pa
per in proportion to other denomina-
tons
The fact that there are counterfeits
did not influence this action.
The Committee on the conduct of the
war have, it is understood, closed its tes-
timony, and in about two weeks will
make their report
The Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. is expected to enter upon his duty
tomorrow
The expedition to colonize the per-
sons of color, has been Indefinitely post
poned for tie present
Mr.. Gallaudet, writing to the Courier
des Etats Unis from Paris, Feb. 9th,
gives the following bit of political gossip:
There is rumor on the BourSe, TO-
day, of an instruction in Hungary, cor
responding with that in Poland. 1t looks
improbable; and what is even less prob
able is the alleged resolution, suddenly
taken by the Emperor Napoleon, to re-
call the French army from Mexico, and
treat with Juarez, upon report by Gen.
Forey recommending that the popularity
of the Mexican President insures his re-
election by universal suffrage"
1t is added, the Emperor wishes to
avoid the conflict which is daily becom-
ing more imminent with the Northern
States through the aid they offer to the
MeXicans, the unpleasant relations be-
tween Seward and MERCER, and the refu-
sal of the Washington Cabinet to accept
the last propositions of France.
