Mr. Marcy wrote me that they embodied new and grave principles in our Foreign policy, which the expiring hours of the Administration allowed it no time to consider with the care and deliberation tab the importance of the subject, and that my negotiations would I m remitted to tho incoming Administration without the pft judtee of all ad verse judgment. .Mr. Marcyx letter was kindly apologetic, considerate aqd satisfactory to me. The now Secretary of fttate was diretted to advise utc that “fur Mm rca*oo* stated in Mr. Marcy's despatches,” the President had determined not U* send lu the conventious to the ftenato. Vow, tke only reasons alleged by Mr. Mercy, were, the gravity of tin. subject and the went of time to consider It, and ( thought did not Apply to an Administrato-i, that had four full years before ts. A the reason given was unsound, 1 was left to conjecture the tnw one. Whatever might have (men the motive for the decision, It was clearly prejudicial to wy reputation, and 1 -offered for conceiving and executing a plan of policy,embracing our present wants and providing for our future expectation*, which I believed then, and move titan ever believe now, would have, been most beneficial to my country anil ought to have proved creditable tome. My theory wan that Mexico was not ready for absorption, but that wisdom dictated that we would shape her future and our relation* with her, diplomat! catty, in sneh manner as to place her in a course of probation, tutelage and improvement, prepa ratory to the execution of that decree of ‘‘mani fest destiny” which nil intelligent men irelieve to he in store for her. Cetmnereial, Postal and Ite elproHty Treaties all look to the uaino end—to increase American intercourse, colonisation and infliienr®, to end in Americanisation. Thor*, with infinite labor, and aided by a fortunate conjunc ture of Mexican polities and Financial wants, I obtained; and now that twenty five month* of living history have thrown their light upon tberu, I feel sure that no one itcouaintod with the Mexi can situation, can full to discern in those conven rions a knowledge acquired on the spot and a sa gacity that foresaw and tried to provide for the very state of thing* that now exist*- -to utjravel the problem which to this hour is nuvcHng wise beads in and out of the American Cabinet. Ido believe, that, had they been ratified we should have been now far advanced on that road of com mercial intercourse, influence and Antericanlru tiou, the pathway to which ts yet to be explored and entered upon. They would have secured the then Liberal Uovrmnrent in power ; the Zuloaga usurpation with its train of diagfttecs and horrors would have been unwritten page* in the history of that unhappy Republic; the discrimination of 20 per cent in favor of our ships and good* would have thrown the supply and carrying trade of Mexico Into the bands of our Merchant- and Ship owners, directed the twenty odd millions of her specie exports from tho ports of Kurope to our own, and enabled our m ami fact lire* to monopo lise the Mexican markets, then and now, almost exolnsively in the possession of those of Huron*. The ablest Journal In Mexico, a French pnjKjr, de flared that the effect of these conventions would he to revolutionize the euimrtetv of Mexico and throw it into the American lap, This opinion was euncorred 111 hv all intelligent Foreigners in the capital. “And what is worse,*’ said the Trait /’ t ‘aion, “it Is legal” and other Powers will not be able to complain that the privilege* secured by treaty to their subject* n the footing of the “most. and her future destiny ‘fixed ‘anludixsoluiiiy linked by the tic* of commercial interest and so cial ron tact to our own. The Hunting mortgage established upon her Territories by a loan which would have soon come hack to our Treasury in In creased duties, would have assured uh their poss ession, while thousand* of our people, now exclu ded by insecurity from the most inviting country on the earth, would be there building op our new Empire, adorning and enlarging its cities, work ing it* fields and miues, spanning it* valleys and turniug its mountains with railways in short, Amrriconiihtif it. Bui unhappily, the negotiator wlto had tho for tune to ho on the ground at the rare and oppor tune moment when concession* like these could he hot! from Mexico, wo* a diplomatist unknown to fuiuu and without the prnntiun to commend his work to favorable consideration. That work shared the common fate of new idea-from anew man. It l not tha first by many thousand of example*, of a proposition enunciated in advance of the period when those were prepared to receive it, whose promise and duty it was to make it es (active. I rest in tbe confident hope that the time will come when these conventions will be disinterred from amoug the rubbish of tbe State Department, uud that would well admit that tlndr author saw further and knew better what he wa* about than the flippant critics who pronounced him a pretoimiou* bungler. lam sure too, that whenever we do treat with Mexico the principles of three five conventions will have to be recurred to a* the hush of successful negotiation.

The organa in that Island, that pub lished the views of the President of the Batted Slate* in relation to its purchase, did not open the bosom of the Cuban roue.
