Air. Buchanan's Policy in Europe!-French
designs on Central Jlmerica—League
with England and Spain against our
acquisition of Cuba—Preparations for
the future, S'c.
Washington, Jan. 7, 1859.
The exposition made by the President,
in his message at the opening of the ses
sion, of his policy in regard to Cuba,Mex
ico, and Centrul-Amei'ica, is accepted in
Europe as the policy of this country. The
consequence must be either an acquiesence
in that policy on the part of European
powers,or immediate preparations to resist
it. i lie latter course is unuouotiy now
resolved upon, if it was not before. We
have had various intimations, formerly, of
the dete/mination of France to interfere in
as manner hostile lo our interests with the
concerns not only of St. Domingo and
Hayti, but of Centra! America, and par
ticularly of Nicaragua.
As long ago as when Mr. Kerr, of
Maryland, was minister at Leon, he dis
covered the existence of an intrigue, if not
a secret treaty with France, under whicli
the Isthmus was to be protected as against
invasion from the United States. Various
'"occurrences have delayed the further inter
ference of France till now. But France,
Spain and England have, no doubt, come
to an understanding some time ago—and
it is believed that our government had due
notice of it—that Cuba should not change
hands—that it should by no means be ac
quired by the United States—and that, if
its colonial dependence could not be safely
continued, it must be erected into an in
dependent monarchy, under a Spanish
Prince.
The course pursued by the British Gov
eminent in all the negotiations respecting
Central America, showed plainly that they
were waiting for some crisis in regard to
the same before they disclosed their pur
poses. We shall soon see,then,their game,
and the French press affords us some
hints respecting it. The United States
will not be allowed to assume the control
of the Isthmus because “ it would be to
yield to them the future transactions be
tween Europe and the entire Orient ”
French armaments and French diplomats
will soon play a conspicuous part in Cen
tral American affairs.
Louis Napoleon likes us not, and would
willingly have a war with us, sweeping
us from the Ocean and taking posses
sion of San Francisco. This state of
things may require from us all the prepar
ation which may be convenient, and par
ticularly an early commencement of a mili
tary and mail railroad to the Pacific, and
the passage of the ten small steamers bill,
which was reported yesterday in the Sen
ate. Yours, &c., Ion.

New York Contractors and the
Bible.—The Providence (It. I. ) Jour
nal is responsible for the following:
The contractors in the city of New York
cannot be called infidels. They be ieve in
the bible; they buy it at 30 cents a copy
for the public institutions and render the
bill at a dollar. They have too great re
spect for the sacred volume to sell it at any
such shabby price as they pay for it. This
little fact has come out in the course of the
investigation that has heen partially made
into the municipal corruption. It is regar
ded as a delicate manifestation of the re
spect for religion that is always entertain
ed by a New York official; moreover it
shows that there is nothing that he will
not make money out of.
£kg“The official returns of the French
Colonial office show that 16,500 negroes
have been obtained by French agents
from the eastern coast of Africa, and con
veyed to the island of Bourbon or Re
union. French Guiana lias received 872
Africans and Martinique 515.
jS£jS“The Chicago Times states that
there are only seventy miles of railroad to
complete between that city and New Or
leans. a distance by the rails of nine hun
dred and seven miles. By the 1st of De
cember, 1S59, the cars will be passing
over the whole distance
Ek.3“ An exchange says the poisoning
of liquors sold in New York city is carried
on to an alarming extent among the retail
ers. The New York papers mention in
cidentally. that a stranger there recently
bought a three cent drink of brandy, and
died of the effects in four hours.
EhiPJohn W. White, of Tennessee,
whose obituary has been published in
. most of the papers, was seen a short lime
since at Paris, Texas, alive and well.
A Good Rule.—The police of New
' Orleans have entered into a mutual agree
1 ment not to drink tn-a coffee-house nor in
a public bar-room -during the presem
year.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, Jan 11.—Tne joint reso
> lotion reported in the Senate to-day hi
■I Mr: M ason, from tbe Committee on For
eign Affairs, reiterates that by reason o
1J the distracted and revolutionary condition
! of Mexico, in certain of tbe States o
Central America, and occasionally of (host
[I in South America, the iives and propertj
: of American citizens are subject to lawles
j violence, or otherwise placed in peril, al
redress in the usual diplomatic forms be
; ing in vain, and it being the indisputable
duly of the Government to protect the
lives and property of our citizens against
lawless violence without the limits ol the
United States, therefore it is proposed to
authorise the President to use the military
and naval forces, and interpose in such
cases when he may deem it necessary.
The Secretary of the Treasury has
transmitted to Congress the reports of Prof.
Alexander, who was commissioned to as
certain the relative value of the coinage
of the United Slates and Great Britain,
and to fix the relative value of the unitary
coins of the two countries. The Secre
tary savs that the report is not so en
couraging as he had hoped, though with
the limited power conferred upon Prof.
Alexander, no fixed policy could have
been adopted. It is for Congress to say
what additional steps should be taken.
The British Treasury authorities rec
ommend that our Government be invited
to indicate such a plan as may be made
the basis of further treatment.
The Mexican and Central Ameiicnn
Association have added Arizona to their
places of settlement. It is understood to
be supported by prominent southerners
and New Yorkers. The Association has
already purchased certain grants, and are
negotiating for others in Arizona. Gen.
Henningsen, as Cliipf Engineer, will
probably, during the ensuing spring or
summer, take out a large body of men.
Washington, Jan 12.—The seventh
annual meeting of the United States
Agricultural Society commenced to-day,

dent, in his address recommended an ap
peal to the farmers of America to raise a
subscription of one dollar each toward the
purchase of Mount Vernon. The med
als awarded at Richmohd were delivered,
one of gold, to P. Rahmomorn for a lo
comotive farm engine. The suhject of
agricultural education was discussed by
Messrs Corley of Ohio, Culvert of Mary
land, Burvvin of North Carolina, Jones of
Delaware, and others.
CUBAN RESOLUTIONS.
Washington, Jan II.—A bill was in
troduced yesterday by Mr. Slidell, of
Louisiana. It was an act making an ac
quisition of the Island of Cuba by negoti
ation :
The bill says that,
Wi lereas, The Island of Cuba geo
graphically possesses a commanding in
fltience over the large and annual trade,
both foreign and coastwise, of the Missis
sippi Valley.
Whe leas. The island in its present co
lonial condition must continue a source of
injury and annoyance, endangering the
friendly relations between Spain and llie
United Slates, and the aggressions of its
local authorities upon American commerce
and citizens, for which lardy redress can
only be find by circuitous demands of
Spain. And whereas, in the opinion of
Congress, in accordance, with the views
of the President, as the last means ofset
tling existing, and removing further diffi
culties, it is expedient that negotiations
for the purchase of the island be renewed.
Therefore,
Resolvod, That $30,000,000 be placed
in the President's hands for expenditure,
either from the cash in the Treasury, or
be borrowed on five per cent, bonds, of
$1,000 each, redeemable in Irorn twelve
to twenty years.
Washington, Jan 15.—Senate—In
the Senate yesterday, Mr. Thompson, of
Kentucky, denounced the whole Pacific
Railroad scheme as a magnificent hum
bug. Doolittle’s amendment, requiring
any ruilroad contracts made by the Presi
dent to be submitted to both Houses and to
take effect only by joint resolutions, was
adopted. The motion to recommit and lay
on the table was lost. The bill was then
laid aside. House adjourned until Mon
House—The Committee on Territories
reported on an organization of Arizona
as a Territory, comprising all the territory
south of the parellelof 33 deg. and 40
min., and from Texas to the Colorado of
j the West, making 100,000 square miles
! and 10,000 population. This leaves in
New Mexico 130,000 population.
The House Committee on Foreign Af
fairs reported a hill similar to Senator Sli
dell's giving to the President thirty mil
lions to negotiate for Cuba.
Washington, Jan 15, p. nt.—House
—Giddings gave notice of an amendment
of the bill to codify the commercial laws,
so as to abolish all traffic in slaves. This
produced a very humorous dialogue be
tween Cox and Giddings, of some length,
interrupted by frequent peals of laughter.
Finally Cochrane said that he did’nt an
ticipate that such a bill should give rise to
an abolition discussion; he also answered
the objections. The Committee of the
Whole rose, and House adjourned.
Washington, Jan 15.— The Postmas
ter-General says that if Congress designs
that the Post Office Department should be
self-paving and self-sustaining, they must
restore the law of 1815; make all post
age under three thousand miles five cents,
and all over thatdistauce ten cents, and
also abolish all franking privileges.
The Hon. James Cooper, of Pennsyl
vania. attracts much attention here, as an
available candidate for President against
the nominee of the Charleston Conven
tion. It is now deemed a matter oi vital
importance to select a candidate who can
caTry Pennsylvania.
The more intelligent Republicans, of
Pennsylvania, say that Mr. Seward would
be minus in that State 100,000 votes.
Mr. Corwin’s unfortunate Mexican war
speech has sealed his fate in regard to the
Key Stone of the arch, so that he and Mr.
j Seward cannot, by any possibility carry
j Pennsylvania. Mr. Cooper entered Cori
I gress from the York and Adams District
j of Pa..' many yeaj„s.ago, as a Whig of the
: Henry Clay school. In the House of
Representatives he soon attained a high
! position as a debator, and was ranked
among its. oblast members. He was elec
1 ted to the V. S. Senate in 1819, and took
j his seat upon the inauguration of Gen
Taylor. Under the Administration o
Mr. Fillmore. Mr. Cooper, following lilt
lead of Mr. Clay and Sir. Webster, gave
his support to the Compromise of 1850,
In 1S54, when the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise was noitnted in the Seriate,
Mr. Cooper strentrously opposed it. In
1855. his Senatorial term expired, and he
was succeeded by Gov. Bigler, having
been incapacitated through a long and de
■ hililaling illness, from participating as
i often as lie desired, in the debates of that
| body.
Mr. Seward’s prospects for the Presi
dency Liy.
Ehg- Lieut. Andrew Jackson has been
appointed assistant tutor in Spanish at
West Point, with a salary of $2,000. He
is the first American to whom the post
Ims ever been assigned.
Present from China.—Commodore
Perry’s widow has received a magnificent
silver candelabra, manufactured in China,
as a testimonial from the American resi
dents at Canton in 1855, to her lamented
husband.
