- From tho Alexandra Gazette
The late change OF the Ministry came unexpected.
" upon us, from the apparent su,Idenness of the
Transaction and the complete revolution that has &C
tuaiiy taken place. Were Jackson phrases familiar i'm
our mouths we might say, the "Augean stable has
been thoroughly cleansed.''
The public will now be able to judge of the cor
rectness OF our information when il is remembered
how confidently we have always predicted the disco
luton of this Mosaic Cabinet here bit of black
stone and there bit of white" The fact is in adj
o,uon to their dsgraceful ignorance, their stupid
oiunderings, and their contracted views, the late
Ministers were, some of them personal enemies to
each other they eyed each oil er with jealousy-and
mover cordially united any subject cxcept in has

.at an organ OF one division of "ibe party has pro-
CLAIMED that FEMALE inrigues have been resorted

inns situation of affairs it is wonder that the dis
'acted. weak and divided Cabinet tumbled to pieces
mere are many who believe, and with grounds for
ther behef too, that the affair has not re az wos
intended by those Immediately interested. tits said
III " washington, BY some, that the viiy Premier de.
signed at FIRST bya sham resignation, to induce the
calhoun faction to- their seats-but the bait dill
not 'ake-thc hsh did not bite, and TO save appearan
ees ana rescue his own character the resignation only
intended at first as de guerre had to be per,
sisted in. BE this il may, there is abundant cir
cumstanai evidence to show, that little shui in
mas marked Ibis as we'll every other prominent
move OF the present administration; but since tbs,
