WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S, p. M.


Mr.. Calhoun is still confined to his room with an
attack OF disease Of his lungs, which, sooner or
later, will prove fatal. Notwithstanding his Sc
we're illness, ne dictated this morning despatch
relative to Oregon; and another to our maister to
Texas. OF much Importance although their con-
tents am Ignorant Of. He will, probably, re-
cover from this attack in lew days; but his dis
ease is seated, think.


The movement Of Silas Wright and his friends.
in opposition to Texas, appears TO be attributed
here, solely to desire to force the coming admi-
nlstration into the nomination of Mr. Flaae. of
Albany, as Secretary OF the Treasury or some one
of that peculiar clique


The extracts from the English paperr, relative TO
anne exatlon, are read here with great interest by
members of Congress, and the response of 'he
publc meetings throughout the country 10 the
action OF the House, will be sought after with
ayldity, as bearing upon the contemplated action
OF the Senate.


The greatest interest is felt as 10 the course of
Silas Wright IN New York, and his members of
Congress" here, IS they are called-the reasons
that prompt their opposition TO xation and ths
and western abolitonists, are all causes OF sp.cu-
latlon. Every thing on this subject is read with
avdty.


Mr.. Polk will be here in about ten dave; and
such rush will follow of office beggars as has not
been seen since 1910


DR.: Gwynn, Mr.. Bradley, and young Polk, ell
say that the relations between Mr.. Polk and Col
sctor Van Ness, would secure his remaining in
his situation.
