The examination of the other parties involved in the accusation is still progressing, New York, Maroh 2. A Havana, letter says that Santa Anna was expected shortly at Havana to sail in a Spanish war steamer to assume the Presidency of Mexico, when Spaio will receive from Mexico the full am't. of her claim under a new treaty.

March 3. The Cunard steamer Africa, which left this morning for Liverpool, look only $70,000 in specie the shipments of which to Europe are over for the present. Letters from Paris, received by the-A merles, state that M.Odier, the celebrated banker, will resume business with a large surplus. A Grand Rally of the Democracy was held last night, to favor the Kansas policy of the Administration. Mozart Hall was filled, and the demonstration was most successful.

The resolutions evince a determination to support Buchanan at all hazards. Washington, Feb. 25. Lent has not by any means put an end to the gaities and entertainments of Washington life; but on the contrary, a fresh impetus seems to have been given to private balls, dinners, dec. Public men of the most opposite political opinions are brought together on these occasions, and social contact ought to have and probably has had some influence in assuaging personal and political asperities.

It is remaeked, that, notwithstanding the financial pressure, ihe scale of expense in regard to lite in Washington ha been greatly augmented. Most of I he Cabinet members are rich, and what is more essential, very liberal. The foreign Ministers, or some of them, have large sums allowed them for entertainments. There are, besides, many Sen-Diors and members, and also a number of citizens, whose means are equal to their taste for such expenditures. It appears to he a matter of doubt whether Senator Douglas has been read out of the Democratic parly or not.

The sdminislra tiou press hnve proscribed in, but it is now doubted whether 1 lie were auihoiized to do it by the President, 't appears lo have been the design of he President lo remove all doubt on the subject when he dismissed the Douglas postmaster ut Chicago. During Mr. Dougias's absence from the Seii.il.-, in consequence of illness in his family, a Sei.aioi iul democratic caucus was held, at which, as report bad it, Mr. Douglas was prose: ibed and readout. Mr.

Douglas yesterday took occasion to put the queslion lo Democratic Senators whether this was true or not. Gov. Ailfiii, of Rhode Island, who was chairman of the caucus, replied explicit. illy in the negative. Some farther explaha.

lions were about lo be made, when Toombs peremplorily objected to any further disclo. cures, ll would appear that the caucus had taken some sips on the subject, and the question may not yet be settled, and perhaps the little giant is only su.spe.nded and not dropped. Soprume Court. No. 41.

The United Stales, plaintiffs in error vs. Gotleib Breitling. In error lo the Circuit Court of the United Slates for the District of Alabama.

Ward) 2. Despatches received today from the Utah expedition show that great tie. cessily exists for the furnishing of supplies by the 1st of June next and ihe condition of the forces is very critical. Gen. Scott has ordered a train of two hundred wagons lo be organized and got ready to leave in a month hence, and carry the needed succor.

They are to be escorted by seven companies. The Slate Depariment has notified Senor Yrisarri.that the treaty effected with him has not been ratified. Senate.

March 3. In tho Senale, lo-day, the bill for the admission of Kansas into the Union came up in pursuance of order. Mr. Seward spoke very strongly in opposition, declaring thai the people would resist it at the sword's point, if Congress persisted in trttempting to force ii on them. He was very evtre on the administration lor the course which has been pursued in refeience lo Kan-gas flairs.
