Washington, Wednesday. April 21.
Mr. Florence of Fennaylrania, has given
! notice of his intention to introduce a bill to
establish certain ocean post-route* between
the United .States and Europe, and to regu
late the transmutation of the mails thereof.
The feature* of this contemplated act arc
1 peculiar. The operation of it is general in
j its nature, totally ignoring private contracts,
i and will, il it becoims a law. place the ocean
. mail service on the sans- basis as the inland
i service. And the ultimatum of the bill is.
| that while it provide for five lines of steam
ers to Europe from different points of the
United .States, it reduces the expenses of the
; ocean mail service to the amount of mutates
carried, and it is believed that it will be a
I revenue to the United States Irorn this ser
vice under this bill.
The lines to be established are:
Ibmtt f’nil— From Philadelphia to South
ampton. FlrigUnd.
Uuutr .St*mitt —From New York, via South
aniptoii, t.. Havre, France.
itmitr 'lhntl From New York to Oluckutidt
via Plymouth. Havre and Kolterdam.
Hmitr fourth— From New Orleans, via Hava
n.i, Uerruiiita, Faya* and .waudaiiKer (Spam), to
Bordeaux. France.
Htmtf Fifth— From Norfolk, Virginia, to Nan
tea, France.
The bill provides that the c .inpensation i
to Is- paid to each line i.« at the rate ol !
|s*r tn ; le, and the tunnugc of the steamers is
fixed at 2,000 tuns, and the S|*eed at not lean
than ten inihs an hour.
There is also provision for the infliction ol
fines and penalties, for failures to depart and
arrive at the time appointed in the •• sched
ule,' by the Post Office 1 lepurlment.
It further provides that ull letters going
out or coming into the United Slates shall
I mss through the Post-Office, at.d the regu- 1
lar rate of postage charg'd thereon, and
that the postage so collected shall lie cred
ited to the Ocean Mail service
The total contract pay per annum to the
five lines will lie $8X1,376. The estimated
receipts from postages, liu.mil on the actual
receipts of Item, w ill lie fHMD.Mu.
There would thus lie a ,-urpiu- to the
United Slates of S 8 174, i! then; b* no in
crease. It is, however, consiik-rel beyond u
doubt that tliere will lie a gradual iuercase
ol the sum receiveil.
I his chiefly shadows lorth tin; featui . - oi
the important bill, introduced bv Mr. Flor
ence, and its adoption by Congress, j- i
claimed will inaugurate a new era and t-:.io-

VTAsmsorotf, April 20.
The resolution which the committee on
foreign relations ol the House has instructed
their chairman to report on the subject or
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, advices tlie Presi
dent to tuke proper steps for its abrogation,
on the ground that the British construction
of the same is unjust to the United States,
and that the American construction in
volves us in an entangling alliance. It is
suid that the Senate committee on foreign
affairs have under consideration the same
subject, au 1 will make a similar report.
Ihe treaty itself provides that it may be
abrogated by the mutual assent of the par
ties. Both governments must concur in the
abrogation; and hitherto, it is said, the
government of Great Britain has !>eeii un
willing to do it. At the* opening of the ses
sion the President stated in hi* message that
u renewed overture hud been made by Great
Brituin for un adjustment of the controver
sy, the ri’snlt of which was to Ire seen.
The New York Company, formed for
promoting colonization and commerce in
Central America, have lately obtained from
the New York Assembly u very liberal
charter. The capita! of the company is
8300.000. They have held a preliminary
meeting, and are soon to Is*organized. They
have already established a small colony on
the bay of Forsecn, a very commanding
situation for trade. It is by such agencies
that Central America is to la* regenerated
and Americanized.
