From Washington.

Washington, Nov. 26.
--The Executive today received a dispatch from Minister Clay, straight that, pursuant to instructions, he had demanded his passports and was on his way home. The Executive a short time thereafter promptly sent the Minister from Peru to this Government his passports, thus completely suspending all diplomatic intercourse between that country and the United States.

The reported resignation of Chief Justice Taney, which has been industriously circulated, is believed to have emanated from a desire on the part of some aspirant for his position.
