We .mntiritiA our nnntatlons In order to mve an example of that want of common; every day sense which peculiarly distinguishes Mr. Cal noun ; ( !. 'Hence it is,. that Mr. Calhoun : in his . pri vate intercourse with. Senators, Jays so much stress upon the postponement of action on the treaty until he shall receive advices from Mex ico. Mr.Calhoun has strongly exprpsed his conviction that his advices will be favorable. He is so sanguine as to believe that Mexico Will, at twelve hotir's nottce, agree to sell her olaima upon Texas -and upon the -vast ' territory claimed by Texas "and the Califbrnias besides." - ;Tho man who really entertains such an opin ion as the one here ascribed to Mr. Calhoun, seems to" Us fitter for a luriaticsylum, than for the office of Secretary of State.

A letter is written in England, by a citizen of the United! States, apprizing the Secretary : of State that the Government 'rof Great Britain is pursuing measures deemed hostile to the interests of this country. This letter is made the ground jwork of official cor respondence ,of grave import its information is credited and acted on by our Government and yet, when this letter and the name of the writer are called for by thp Senate, the Secre tary of State gravely returns for answer, that no such letter is to be found in his Department, And that K. nncnm9 it in t o mnn rrct I Via nri Tate Dapers of his predecessor, and of course uiiiuissiuia w in Dcuiued iur can 1110 uuuio ot the writer bo ascertained..
