CRpeFa eem wieh suFmises and cOuectmres respecting them. Nearly all the let,er.wrers from Washington concur in one thing, that the great manager and in. ,vivwer from Ncw.York, Gov. Van BUren, is to take the Hrs eeas. This appears to be pretty we'll deter. unined. But who the remainder will be- is the ques. iOn. One day, we see 1t stated that Mir.

Lane Of Delaware (by the way aO old and unrelentng Eederalist but of sterling talent and integriy the Navy Department; Mr. Baldwin of Pennsylvania Al. tOrney General; and for the Post Office Department, various persons are named, the most prominent of which are Mr. Ingham of Pennsylvania and Colonel Johnson of Kentucky. Mr. Hill, the "bull dog edi- tor" of New-namPshire, is sometimes spoken of for this office. The next day perhaps another set spring up-Mr.van BUren still heading the list-Alr. Ingham Cor the Traasury Gov. Branch of N. c. for the Ma. "; Mr. Eaton, the hiograhher of Jackson, the War Office; end Mr. Berrien of Georgia Attorney Gene ra while the present Post Master General s to retain tle station he now holds But time, tho discoser of al secrets. will probably, ere the lapse of another week, determine with certainty who aie to compose the Cabinet.

Mr. Mercer moved an amendment on the snejrct of altering the chamber of Representatives raisng the floor, throwing glass ceiling over i Sse. in order we presume to remedy the defect the mem. hers labour under in hearing to which Mr. Bartlett moved 0 remove the desks. Mr. Hamilton suggested the proposition to appropriate cents for the pur. chase of swo sand gssses to be used by the Speaker iU regulating the speeches of members. Really we shak Mr. H. would be as much subjected to the ope. ration of this law as any other member. Curtaing their speeches, however, would tn general do no harm: but h is hopeless experiment.

Fifty cords have also been granted out Of the stock belonging to tho Trea. sury department
