4 The smithy of rumor has been again at worl
in this city, and new series Of fabricatons ha
gone forth to the four points of the compass In


R New York Courier" the " New York Icle
Fgraph," the philadelphia North American,


&c, &c, have presented various versions OF th'


same story from the pens of their several cor
/ respondents They refer to an interview between
the President and Mr.. Calhoun, (some of the &c
Ecounls unite Mr.. Colquitt in the conversation


We do not deny that a conversation took place


but what follows2 Let the scribe of the New


York Morning Telegraph" tell it for all fol


they agree in substance, but with some slight varl


ations: a"W "- .f..aa,


"Tho President assured Mr.. Calhoun that


since the receipt of Mr. Nc Lanes dispatches, this


subject had been 10 him that of the most serious


concern in every respect, and after delIberating
and consulting freely with his cabinet, he thought
measure which he had at that time under con
sideration would enable him to renew negotiations


without calling in the Judgment of the Senate IN
advance. Mr.. Calhoun returned to the Senate in
high spirits, and gave strong assurances of his
confidence in a compromise being effected.


GA meeting of the cabinet was convened that
night at achich ii acoS decided 10 submit p1Opo-


sitiOm to Great Britain, l understand upon
the basis ofthe 49th degree. I have not been
able to get at the accompanying conditions with
any reliability, and therefore shall not speculate
beyond the fact. This movement was fastened by
the anxiety to communicate the result TO Mr. Nc
Lane by the steamer which sails tomorrow. /
am not informed whether the cabinet decided to
delay the official overture to MIR. Pakenham until
an answer was obtained from Mr.. McLane, ofthe
opinion of the Earl of Aberdeen, for it docs seem
useless 10 procrastinate the result by rendering pro-
posals which cannot be received. My own con-
viction is, the negotiations will be continued here,
out of Difference to Mr.. Buchanan, and that Mr..
Pakenham was appriscd of the character of the
new offer in season to communicate with his
government; if not, that it will be submitted in
the diplomatic s,ylc-whin an carly period"


One of the writers states that he has no doubt
these dispatches are on their way by the Cambria
Another speaks of the proposition as the ultima
Ium of our government. One account states that
the negotiation is to be transferred 10 London


We have no doubt that these are all visions Of
he Imagination. No ultilnatum has been sent
no offer has been madc-nonc will probably be
made, because we humbly conceive it becomes
he duty of the British government to offer one in


its turn The theatre of any negotiation has not
been shifted 10 London. And yet the President
has not abatcd in the slightest degree the desire |
which has been twice expressed by his Secretary |
Of State, to adjust the whole question in HARM
onious and pcaceable manner. Certainly these
-umors not calculated to advance their object,
because they deceive the people OF both countries,
is TO the views and designs of the American gov
.rnmcnt. They only tend TO prevent the adop-
ion of the measures " hich may consummate this
desirable object.
