1t is yet rather uncertain how tie Cabinet
under the new President is TO be organized.
We have as little doubt however, of the in
tention of Mr.. Monroe to ofer John Quincy
Adams, the Department Of State, as that it
will be very unpopular both at the Southwark
and Westward of Washington. Mr. Clay. it
is said, has twice been offered the Depart
ment Of War, and twice has rejected the pro-
posal. If Mr.. Adams should come in, the
northern influence which viii by that event
be created in reality and in prospect. cannot
fail to render the administration unpalatable
to certain political expectants.-The Secre-
tary-ship ofthe Navy will probably be re-
tanned in the hands of northern politician
but whether Mr.. Crowninshield will continue
to fill that Office viii. il is said, depend solely
upon Mr.. Monroe.
