The Attorney General has left this place for a
few weeks, to make arrangements to move hither
hs family: Ii Is reported and believed, that Mr..
Rush is about to be engaged as agent of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company, to proceed
to Eng land and make arrangements TO borrow mo-
ney for its use.
MIR. Barry had not arrived last night, although
he was expected every day last week. Ii is said
that he was at Cincinnati the 26th of March,
on his way TO this place; but the iniormatio can
not be true, or he would have been here before this
time. Many persons are waiting his arrival, trust
ing that he will give the Post Offices an overhaul
ing. Applicants for the village offices are very
numerous.
l take it that matters have assumed more pa
CHIC aspect within few days; and there will not
5e such a terrific turn out has been anticipated
Some say that Mr.. Van Buren, brought a saving
spirit with him, and that views are taken of
the policy OF reform. doubt not that in the pro-
gress of the administration, some changes Will be
made by removals, and that places made vacant by
death resignation, or the Limitation of commissions,
will be filled by avowed partizans friends, as
has always been done since party divisions have
been known.
The foreign appointments engage great deal
Of attention, and will bring into Office many new
dipiomatists. All agree that Mr.. Tszewel is de-
signated for London. Of all the places within the
nomination Of the President, the Consulship at
Liverpool seems TO attract the greatest notice.
IL is said to be the most lucrative post at the dis
position Of the government. Several distinguished
gentlemen are applicants for it. Among them re-
port ranks one OF our own fellow citizens. He is
great favorite, and will scarcely be refused any
place he may ask. believe he has already had
the offer of full mission to Mexico.
Mr. Sha'er, the late worthy Consul General, at
Aigiers, on his own desire, will be transferred to
some other service; and Major Henry Lee, the ia
Tented son of the late Governor Lee, OF Virginia,
Shaer. at Algiers. 1 have not understood, posi-
lively, the destination of Mr.. Shaler, but have
heard 1t said. that he will be made Commercial l.
gent at Havana. Go where he may, and in what.
ever way employed. he will do justice TO the
country, and credit TO the government. No man
has over returned from abroad, with higher re-
putation for faithful and able discharges of his
trust. than has this high-minded and intelligent
gentleman. He was with our Commissioners at
Client; went out to Africa with Commodore Deca.
tur, in 1915; and remained at Agers i'm his late
capacity until last summei, when he had leave,
without resgning, to return to the u. S.
am strongly inclined to the opinion, that pre-
sent indications ofihe policy of the Cabinet, in re-
iation to the Custom Houses at Baltimore, and o.
Their ports, are favourable to some OF the in
cumbents than anticipated.
Public curiosity eagerly awaits Mr. Bal:lwin's
next Gard; and IL is generally supposed lie will
lect some new organ Of communication. If it be
true that Mr.. Baldwin left Washington i'm a pet
with the President, he has done his disposition and
wish. to distinguish him, not only poor, but I'M
grateful return.
p. S. The Post Master General has Just arrived,
and taken his quarters at the National Hotel.
