Officer, but this is probably mis,e.e i..
Changes have also been made in he Pos o.
Department, the POSTMASTER at Maynile T."
lucky, having been removed, and also The p0r
master al Portland, Maine. .Alhoupb w.
lngham cannot carry his notions Of pfor,a
ton into all the departments, be seems d,,,.,
mined 10 act upon them pretty generally inLa
own. There was recently pretty warm az,
eussion in the Cabinet on the subive, Of Il,
proscripriye policy, which was urged Win
much vehemence BY Mr.. Ingham. Mr.. Va
Buren, is understood 10 have taken pround A.
reclly in opposition TO MIR. Ingham, and to haze
maint aimed the impolicy Of such a system an,
pointed out with grea, force the iniurou, ,or,
sequences which would result from tiff au,mn
ed, in the stoppage Of The wheels of he pov,r.
ment From this circumstance, il !. En
presumption that in the Department c! S..
there will be very few, if any, remoy al, mr,,
on account Of opinions formerly expressed,
the subject Of The Presidential election. y,
Van Enren, probably, looks forward 10 Ii,
future expectations, and shapes his opini.u
IN reference 10 them. Al any rate, The mg.
rumor that he has takn this COURSE has er.I,
increased his popularity here.
"Mr. Barry, according to the current rnc
of the day, has determined on course ,an:.
what similar 10 that o! Mr.. Van Buren. His
standing and resolution, perhaps, may mol Z.
sufficien, to carry him through, even should:
have made such demonstration Of hi. wsh,.
IL is said tina, soon after his arrival, he rsctiu!
an iutimatioE of the manner in which the J.cl
son central committee Of this place, desired 70
dispose of certain profitable Offices in bis d.
partmenr, among which was the post Office d
this city. which was intended for memts d
the committee. Heis reported to have lums
deaf ear to the suggestion, to have reiu.tn
recognize committee taking such powers, M
pretending to decide on the wants and wishes. q
the people Of remote states OF the union; al.
further, 10 have declared his intention TO maA
no changes but such as have reference 10 ID:
public interest. Should he pcrscycre in Tbs
course, the probability is, that he will be tn'
fayo:ite with General Jackson, and the uis
patty who dictate 10 General Jackson, Than va
anticipated.
" The house and property possessed by W.
Wiz; in this city, are said to have been pOft'r
sed by Duff Green; the house lately otGa2m
by Mr.. ST. Clair Clark has been also purIh.n
him; and he has also bought large a'sS
built and occupied by the Rev. o. D. Bro"1
and an extensive lol of ground adjoining, 'P@

rassment when the times for psYmeI' 81
come round. But he may have much u
reasons for his conduct, and far gte',er Ms
