Cassius M. Clay's letter.

--We have good reasons to believe that the publication by Cassius M. Clay of a letter on the subject of our foreign relations not only falls to be approved by the Administration, but is in insubordination to the law of 1856, which expressly forbids any such communication from a diplomatic or consular officer.--N. Y. Tribune.
