On the 28d of September, 1770, being be

when I found the men were swaying up the
royal yards preparatory to making sail for
a large fleet under ,our loo. I asked the
coasting pilot what licet it was. He an

Front official returns made to the Secretary

thority to offer him the office of’thcSesreta-
ry of the Treasury, provided, so the source
from which the report comes says, he be
found orthodox on points deemed by Gen.
Tierce and Senator Hunter, as material to
the administration of the Government. If
Gov. Cobb then takes the office of Secretary
of the Treasury, Scuator Hunter will take
the head of thc State Department, and the
rest of the Cabinet will be selected from a-
uiong the others who have been named, hi
various places, for it.
THE NICARAGUA QUESTION.
A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, in
remarking upon this subject, and the dis
missal of the Nicaragua Minister, Mr. Mar-
coleta, says the Taylor administration gave
the Nicaraguans every pledge of support, in
any controversy, she might have with Eng
land, about her claims to territory, claimed
as belonging to the Musquito Indians. This
pledge was given by Mr. Clayton. A sub
sequent treaty by this gentleman, with Mr.
Bulwer, the British Minister, settled this
matter, nobody knows how. A treaty by-
Mr. Squier, with Nicur9gaa~sa&xcpndiattsl
because it conflicted with thc indefinite terms
of the Clayton and Bulwer treaty, and has
established a colonial government in Cen
tral America. The settlement of this mat-
tor ’trill of coarse be left for Mr. Pierce, and
we presume it will be settled to thc credit
aud satisfaction of both parties.
The Gold Ring to Geu’l Pierce.
Below we give the correspondence between
Gen. Pierce and John Middleton, on thc pre
sentation and acceptance of the Gold Ring,
manufactured in the city of San Francisco.
Gen. Pierce acknowledges as a compliment,
tht confidence manifested in the letter of
presentation, as to his being a Jackson Dem
ocrat, a friend to the compromise, and for
the salvation of our glorious Union. Thus,
under his own band, Gen. Pierce says he is a
Democrat the Jack-son school, which, in
our opinion, insures for him a permanent
popularity, and a brilliant and successful
administration. To follow in the footsteps
of old Hickory, ^the kterb, pil'fe abd 'Unwa
vering patriot) is the sure and certain path
to thc confidence of the American people.

Boston, Jan. 6, 1853.
A frightful Railroad accident occurred
to-day on the Boston and Maine Railroad.
President Pierce and lady were among the
passengers, and are reported to be much
injured. Their only son, a lad of ten years
old, was instantly killed.
