-J 11 [Telegraphedfor the Baltimore Sun] VVAsirtNOTON, May, 10, 1849, It is reported that Capt. Chas. Wilkes.; of tho lato Exploring1 Expedition, will be KOllf. Ollt. nc />Ammnn/ln?? Awn aP 41?a ? vviuuiiuiuvi Vi \nio V/l till; vw sols to be despatched in search of Sir Jno Franklin. The cabinet days aro reduccd to two per week, Monday and Wednesday?the heavy business being done. We understand that important dispatches have been received at the War., department, from California, setting fojth that the people had organized a government for themselves, and had adopted the Wilmot proviso as a fundamental article. It is believed that Gen. Taylor will lay Mr. uaboochoro's Bill for the repeal of the Navigation Laws of England before Congress, if passed by the British Parliament, as a proper subject for legislation. The diplomatic appointments arc soon to be made, to take effect on the 1st of July, and already there are several candidates on the ground, including one or two for Madrid and Berlin. I . -ti 'li: i'- t; /1 -1 it is reported that i\lr. Ui-awiord recommends to Qenl. Taylor to organize a strong military force in California, of volunteers to sustain Gov. Smith, xmtil Congress shall act for the territory. Washington, May 22. It was supposed that the prolonged sitting of the cabinet held yesterday, had some reference to the diplomatic appoint incnts, but 110 results have been anouncod. The foreign appointments will be made to take effect on the first July, the. beginning of tho fiscal year. ?Some of the appointments, for this city, will be made from tho first of June. It is very evident, from the advices which wo arc daily receiving from officers ?,....v?n.u 11 11*41 11 Hi IC?CIIU?J, llllll 1110 whigs are to be admitted into a fair participation in them. Among tho custom house oGicers retained in N. Orleans, is Mr. N.

Some of Mr. Secretary Clayton's friends say that there is no foundation for the rumor that he wishes to go abroad, or will go abroad. lie came here to he Secretary of State, for no less time than four years, and probably for eight years.

They take a vote in the Cabinet meeting, on all prominent appointments and removals, and Gen. Taylor, as President, has a vote?but, as it would seem, does not overrule aqy (lecisioi? made by the majority of the Cabinet. The probability that tho Taylor democrats of the South, of whom Mr. Holmes, oftfloiitli-Gnmlinn r\n n one, will hold the balancc of power between the whigs and democrats, in the next House, is much increasing. I have no doubt that the four democrat iu fr?"csoilers will net with the democratic party. All tho freesoil whigs cannot be expectcd to eo-oporato with the whig party.

I do not believe that General Tayloi himself cares a button whether the House be whig or democratic, and I am quite sure that, inasmuch as the Senate is democratic, he may not wish the democrats to assume the responsibility of measures in the House also^?reserving, of course, n veto for measures of faction and mischief, From the Nexo Orleans (Ire&rMf \fnu to - LATER FROM MEXICO.
