WAsHEGroN, Nov. lS.--From New YorL
now hear thai there is reasonable ground f.,
belief that Mr.. Clinton is reelected by a reaia,
ty yafiously estimated at from 1860 10 30o
votes.
In 1924, he received, in his contes, with ca
ioang, iof the same Office, majority OF 162jq
votes. Such is the mutabiity ofpablc op;nio,
The collision between two OF the public p,ibts NJ
New York, since the election, each reproaebin,
the other, discioses some curious facts AS N nm,
hearing OF the late contest in the State of Ncr,
York on the General Government We look n
tins denoiVment OF the affair with no little inte,-
est. asseftionslare so pcremptory each waynot
only IN the newspapers, but in private circle, On
the subject Of the estimation in which the pTes.
ent Administration of the General Government
is held in the State of New York. thrt We are ar
loss what TO think of it, We shall look for some
light upon the subject iugood time, from the Al.
bany Argus
In the Legislature of the State. il is said that
the party opposed toGovernor Clinton has a ma.
ioriiyin both branches. The friends and the OBJ
ponents OF Gov. C's. Administration each call
themselves Republicans and have different names
by which they call each other Nat. Int.
At the latest date from England. Mr.. Gallatia.
our Minister to that country, was absent from
London on visit to France. report IS piycn
in the London papers, that MIR G.. had received
dispatches from his Government, and had pro-
ceedcd to France to confer with Mr. Gaming.
the British Secretary of Foreign Affairs, who
was AT the time ON visit to France Such NAV
or may not be the case. We know that the time
OF Mr.. G's departure, early in last month"; was
the beginning Of The ShO0tiRg-sedS0R in England
and it is fact which may suplizc some OF our
readers, that such is the omnipotence of custom
he Ia,
sineSs can detaln the members ofthe British Adj
nmlstfatlon, with other nobemen aud public
characters, from going into the country, to en-
JOY that season, SO that foreign ministers ioi
dmg IA London, If they do moi follow thctashion
&Shooi m the country may find it a very duh bust
ness killing time in town. Mr.. GG!iatiH having
lived eight or ten years at Paris and having
many friends there, amongst whom he is part-
culafy intimate with General L0t0geiie. may
have thought he could not more aerecaby
or useiully spend an idle week or two.
than by crossing the Channel, to pay a VS.
II to Paris and La Grange. This, at least. we
suppose to be his object, it not being at all likely
that an American Minister would be found in the
train ola British Secretary. 1t was thought by
some sufficiently humiliating when, heretofore.
an American Minister was under the necessity OF
following the march of the Emperor OF France
when he led his armies into the North. Ii ap-
pears TO be. necessary, however, that he should
do SO. No such necessity could exist in the case
OF Mr. GdtiatiH and MIR. Secretary Canning and
we are therefore, satisfied that we have hit ON the
true motive Of the visit, unless it may be that for
some purpose of importance in France, Nh.

Proposals have been issued, by WM ". NoRs-

at present, but more frequently whenever lis pa
tronage will justify the change. The location
appears to to be IA, orableto the undertaking,
tothe success of which the character and tried tai
