AFFAIR8 IN WASHINGTON. IPe do not generally attach much importance to the predictions of letter-wliters from Wnshington, because they have letters to mnlte, and must find 01 mnnufncture food for the appetite they have created We have nil along thought Mr Wobster would come forward with somemore worthy of Southern consideration limn the Clay compromise, and the telegrnphic correspondence of the A\>w York //urald justifies our antic ipation. We >;ive it, leaving flie prediction " *' iv unn? umimivill.?*. arOllfHCtT1. "Mr Webster is prrpniing, nnd hna nearly completed. the outlines nnd details ofnn oiiginal compromise thnt \vi!l settle the controversy.

"Mr. Calhoun is engaged in dictating bis speech, which will be road in tin- Senate, and which may be expected about Thursday, should nothing intervene to preclude the intention, ft will be, I regret to fear. Mr. Calhoun's last public cTort, and undoubtedly superior to every other, great as ninny of bis speeches have been during his career as a statesman. The nature of his malady is such that repose, at. least, must be insisted upon, to guard him against a speedy danger. However, if he behold the settlement of the controversy now, he may he cons fled, nt the close of his life, by the reflection tlmt it will never again distract tlv South, to \vho?e interest he basso signullv and HiiftApaafnllf fr** ? -i.. .m.m | ?w? uvi uriinir, urvoted his splendid talents nnd his life." Executive interference in California.? Mr. Andrew Afarshnll who went fmm this city to California, nnd is now in <Snn Francisco, has kindly sent us a copy of the Alta California of the 31st December. We are pleased to see so fair a specimen of typography from that prosperous infant, city. It seems well edited, nnd the contents we find vcrv interesting. Among other items which attracted our ntt -ntion is an editorial comment on a recent prospectus of a new whig paper that has been putfo th there by a Mr. Cra^e, formerly editor of whig paper in Rich mow!, Va. The prospectus goes on to say: 'The tmdersicrned commences his onte'p'i e brtckcd hy tV'suppir o'the /Idmintatration, and the whig pP rty of the Uni-in, and th<- commercial interests. Appended to this is n list, says the Al ta California, "of some fifty names of politicians and merchants headed by President Tavlor, and including the name ol non. 7'homn? Rutler King, another guardian ofCalifornia.' Wo wonderif the funds to ostablisn this whig paper, or ?uiv portion, are contributor! from the secret service fund of the administration. or from the contingent fund, oyt which Mr. King's eight dollars a day. tond all his travelling ^vnenses h*. sides have been paid. Truly our 'no-party* President is carrying out his'no-party* notions in n curious way.

At Cincinnati the consumption is said to have fallen off more than one half since the late ike. and at New Orleans, ?i wiiter in the bulletin thinks that the Miles I are diminishinir moie than one-third, or even one-half. //<> given I In- average stocks on tho 1st of February for five years in that city at 20,000 sacks; now t'm-v r.re estimated at 76.000 to 80.000. With reference to deficient crops and de rJ'fd consump ion, a correspondtnt or the Cincinnati GnzcMp has n word to say. /idmi'ting thnt the yield of 1840, in Java nnd Rio. is less bv 800,000 bugs tl?Rn was thnt of 1848, he reasons thnt 200,000 bags ?f this deficiency will probably be made U)< from portions of the old cvop hold over in the shell in consequence of the low prices of 1848, and that the diminished consumption, in Europe nnd , America, in ronscqnencc of the high pri1 oe;< of 1849-50, will be enu-il to 400.000 >>nrrs, which two items will educe the deficiency of last vein's crop, in effect, to 200,000 bags. The Gazette add: "In the country, we understand the usual substitutes tor coffee, when prices are high, have been extensively resorted to, viz: rye, com, barley, potatoes, and sassafras. In this city, nt most of the retail groceries in the outer parts of town, burnt rve and co-n arc now regular articles of s le; and a mixture of about equal parts of coffee, corn and rye, carefully burnt, is exposed at some of the larger groceries tn the central parts of the city, and sells at something less than one-half the pii.'e of coffee alone. This last preparation, we are told, is not at all unpalatable." Napoleon's Vktekavh.?A correspondent ef the Host on yltlas. wiiting from Paris, desciihes the following scene: "A strange and ghostlv spectacle came athwart our gay and busy stree's, on the the anniversary of the death of the Emperor Napoleon.

From a petition of the inhabitant* of the county of Crawford, ic appears that the chief of the Winnebago Indians, with about 1,000 warriors. hiis entered th? count}1 of CYawfovd. and openly threatened to kill every white i .hahitanl in that part of the Stale.
