Our Washington correspondent, says the N. Y. Tribune, mentions that another and a more satisfactory bid for the Presidency from Gen. Taylor is expected shortly. We understand, by advices from that city, that a letter was prepared by some Taylor men in Congress, was agreed upon as satisfactory, and sent on to be transcribed and returned in the handwriting of Gen. Taylor as his opinions. If this is what our correspondent refers to, surely this letter will not be forthcoming. Gen. Taylor must have too much self-respect to take part in any such transaction.
