| that an in,prss.on has been made on the pub
lie mind TO a considerable extent, that the
cabinet was so much embarrassed by the dis

pable Of transacting the pubilc business.
Yon NAV be assured, that there is hot the
| slightest truth in such rumor. The eihcial
| intercourse of the heads Of departments
with each other and with the Presideat has
never, 10 my know edge, been interrupted
! for a moment, nor has ATTY difference oil OPT
| MEN as to the measures Of the government
\ divided the cabinet in single instance, SO
| far as recollect, according to the line OF Sc
| paration now so generally aseribed in the
public papers. | am, very respectfully yours,
