The following Remarks on the views of
the Cabinet, are copied from the u S. Ca
zette.
What may he the measures which con-
gress may ultimately adopt, / believe no
one, oat or in the secrets of the cabinet, can
with certainty tell. And it is equally diff
Cult TO imagine why the people OF this coun.
try have been put 70 the expense of a spe-
cial session, and their fears and spprehen-
sions excited III this extraordinary manner,

"The supporters of tie administration
ere BY no meaDs united with regard 10 our
foreign relations. They appear TO be divi-
ded isto three parties. One is for war with
Great Britain Another is for Lberaling
commerce, and substituting in the place of
the present system, an armed commerce.
While the third, which is understood 10 be
the palace or Msdlsonian party, is for al

" 1t is officially announced that Mr.. Ad- |

pointment, assigning as the reason, that the |

Never was foreign minister in this coun-
