Chs,ge Of .Ministry'-It will be seen in a
mother part of our paper, that there has been
resignation OF Cabinet Ministers at Wash
iugton. Messrs. Baton and Van Buren, paw
4 ed the way. Mr.. ingham, appears by the
correspondence between himself and the Pre-
sident, 10 hare been forced 10 resign. We
have only been enabled TO lay the corfespon-
6ence between Mr.. an Buren, and the Pre-
sident before our readers this week-in our
peEs>we will give that of Eaton, Inghsm and
Branch. This blow up was early expected
by the real friends to the American Govern
ment. Ii is well known that Gen. Jackson
came into power, by virtue OF combination
the most corrupt. and composed of parties
the most mercenary and conflicting. that had
ever previously acquired an ascendancy in
snSmpvernment In the formation OF bis

Iali these factions were to be remune
Tor their treachery and ingratitude to
lo.rmer friends; and for the gross violations
OF every principle of honor, as well as the
total disregard to Truth and justice, which
they had evinced during an embitered cleo
toneenng campaign, for the purpose Of ele.
i tatnS their nominal cheftain; but whom each
particular faction, amoag the consprators,
had determined 10 govern. How was it pos
Slble, that an administration. composed of
such discordant materials, could bold toge-
tker-it was impossible.
letter from Richmond contains the fol-
loving speculations:
lit is distinctly understood that Mr. Ran
dOIDb comes home al 4
on the administration. He is satisfied the
appointment was given to bride or disgrace
bin, [prohah!y BOTH and he means to make
the anende honorable, by washing off the
treasury dirt from his own douLlet and
splitting his venom at those who tempted him
into the slime. He is to decline the outfit OF
5000 dollars and take his stand upon this
for publication. The standard of Calhoun
is to be raised, under bis auspices. and the
yawnng and impossible gulf that lately Sc
parated them is to be closed.''
We have been credibly informed, and take
pleasure in recording the fact, that the tolls
received on the Canal between the . st of
March and 10Th of April, inclusive. not quite
one month, amounted to E'gb Ib2uSand
-Four Hundred Dollars. This is highly crafty
ing, and ought to cheer the hopes Of the

vince the most scepilcal, that the stock will
be a very productive one.
OF the total quantity Of produce which
has been brought down, and tie value there

Ihc Chesapeake and Ohio Cmlal.-Wc had
fhc pleasure, week or two ago, Of publish
ing some facts in regard to the progress and
prospects oil our great work, which mnst
have been highly gratifying 10 the ciuZensof
this District, and to the friends Of the Canal
every where, bat especially so, we are sure,
to oul friends of the Baltimore Gazette. We
have now the pleasure of communicating, for
the satisfaction of our readers, some addition
al information Of the same agreeable tenor.
On the 2Ist Of March the first toll was re-
ceived, at the locks above Georgetown, after
the opening of the Canal for navigation the
present season. Wednesday last, therefore,
completed tho first month Of Che use of the
canal since the finishing Of ihc 18th and Saith
sections, for the completion Of which the re
admission of the water had been delayed, al
though the navigation mig haze been resu'
med on the goth of February It must,
therefore, he very gratifying to the friends Of
the Canal TO know, that, on the return Of the
PresIdentand Directors on Wednesday morn
ing, from an inspection Of lis various woi ks,
as tar up as the mouth Of Seneca, they were
informed by the Collector at the Old Locks
that $500 had been received within the
month, not then expired The works were
IN excellent condition, and the scenery Of the
canal as beautiful as the imagination ian well
picture.
1t was not among the least Of the agreea-
BILE objects which met the eye in passing up
the line, to see preparation made for the con
struction of boat on the margin of the ca
nal, capable of carry ing eleven hundred bar
rels Of flour The proprietor having lately
towed several boats together, having moIe
than nine hundred barrels on board, by enc
horse, expects, with the same power, to tow
that which is now constructing, when fully
laden; though his principal object is 10 trans
port several thousand cords OF wood 10 mar
kct; which, before the Canal was completed
10 tue Great Falls, was utterly worthless.
The Mayors Of Washington and George
town accompanied the President and Direc-
tors IN their visit Of inspections; the former
as FAR only as Crommelin, the name given to
the hotel at the head OF the Falls, now kept
by Capt. Fenlon, who has charge of the six
Locks by which the assent of the river al that
place is effected.
Some gentlemen from distant parts of The
Union were much struck with the magnitude

pended on some portions of it, as well as
