W. CRANCH,

COURIER AND ENQUIRER OFFICE.
We owe perhaps some apology to the public for the present
state of our reading columns, and to advertisers, for the
numerous advertisements we have for three days past been
compelled to omit. The cause, however, will, we trust,
readily occur to them. It is the notices we must necessarily
publish of the funeral ceremonies proposed to be observed in
commemoration of the late venerated President, and as these
close with this day, hereafter our paper will assume its wonted
appearance.

liieh wrought hopes would not he frustrated, whcp h is
ceilled away to aflutter destiny.—to ao,taer w0..i,1.
The late hour at which the account of this calamity
has reached us, forbids us indulging in the many re-
flections to which it would naturally lead, but we
may say that in the character of his successor, the
Vice-President, John Tyler, of Virginia, the na-
ti.,n has a full guarantee that wisdom, honour and
constitutional principles, will govern the course of the
National Government; and above all, that the presence of
the spoilers—of the miserable wretches who have fattened
on the public purse, under the administration of Jackson
and Van Bruen, and who introduced a system alike at va-
riance with the interests and liberties of the people, or the
spirit of the age.—will never be abided by him.
The death of a President of the United Sates while in
office, is the first that has occurred in our short-lived his-
tory. Of the circumstances attending that of General
Harrison, we would refer to our private correspondence.
We are informed that all the Heads of Departments were in
the President's house, if not in his room, at the closing
moment, and that, shortly before it came, he expressed his
eontiction that the Vice-President would carry out the re-
forms he had commenced, and that policy of which he had
been permitted but to trace the outlines.
WASHINGTON. April 6, 1841.
Mr. Tyler arrived here this morning. He met the
Cabinet, after a few hours of repose, and expressed an
earnest desirc that they would remain with him, and
assist him in carrying out the well-known measures of
Gen. Harrison. Nothing could be more gratifying to
the friends of the policy of General 11,rrison than the
Promptness of Mr. Tyler in declaring his confidence in
its wisdom, both as regards men and measures. Mr. Tyler
and Mr. Webster have long been in relations of the kind.
est personal intercourse. They acted together harmoni-
ously in the Senate, and the country has not the least rea.
son to fear any change in the policy of General Harrison's
Cabinet as settled by him and them.

(From the National Intelligence,- of yesterday.)
THE NEW PRESIDENT.
By the extraordinary despatch used in sending the
official intelligence to the Vice-President, at Wil-
liamsburg, and similar despatch by him in repairing
to the seat of Government, John Tyler, now President
of the United States, arrived in this city yesterday morn-
ing, at 5 o'clock, and took lodgings at Brown's Hotel.
At twelve o'clock, all the Heads of Departments, except
the Secretary of the Navy, (who has not yet returned to
the city from his visit his family) waited upon him, to
pay him their official and personal respects. They were
received with all the politeness and kindness which cha-
racterize the new President. He signifik'd his deep fel-
ing of the public calamity suAained by the death of Pre-
sident Harrison, and expressed his profound sensibility to
the heavy responsibilities so suddenly devolved upon him-
self. He spoke of the present state of things with great
concern and seriousness, and made known his wishes that
the several Heads of Departments would continue
.te fill
the places which they now respectively occupy, and his
confidence that they would afford all the aid in their power
to enable him to carry on the administration of the Govern-
ment successfully.
The President then took and subscribed the following
oath of office :
I do s:-1 mnly Swear that I will faithfully execute the
office of PreSident of the United Sia and will, to the
be t of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Con.-
"stitution of the United States.

of the District of Columbia, certify that the above named
John Tyler personally appeared before me this day, and,
although he deems himself qualifi.d to perform the duties
and exercise the powers and office of President on the
death of William Henry Harrison, late President of the
United State=, without any other oath than that which be
has taken as Vice- President, yet, as doubts may arise.
and for greater caution, took and subscribed the fore-
going oath before MT.
