 ] The President, as 1t would appear. has at length found an Attorney General, in Mr: RogerB. Fancy of Baltimore, gentleman Ci extensive fame as a lawyer, and equally wen known as a man of unexceptiOnable prlVate ch.racter. He is an internal improvement and free trade man. Now that the Cabinet may be considered completed, it will nct Oe deemed OificiOus to designate the members according to t!:eir avOwed political tenets.
 MT. Livingston is an internal improvement man, a friend of free trade, the advocate Ot the Judiciary as now constituted. taVoran'e 10 the renewal of the charter Ofthe U. 5. banK' 1 and no nulliier.
 Mr. White is an old school Jeffersonian, anti-latitudinarian, ant-tariHf; hut his senti- ments in relation to the U. s. Bank, the pub lie lands, and Supreme Court, he has nOt' 10 my knowledge, taken occasion to deliver Tn debate. He is no nullIfier.
 Mir. Woodbury isoppOsed to the execution by tho federal government, ofa system ot in- ternal improvement, a free trade man, ana non-cOmmittal or equivOcal man m relation to the United States Bank, the Judlcary. public lands, and nuIlification. never could understand his speech in the great debate" !" in reference to these topics but so far as could comprehend him, he, in that exhibition, seemed to me to be balancing between his better judgment and difference to his party should hope, now that he has got out of the company of Benton, Hayne, Grundy, and Kane, he will pursue the dictates of his better judgment. He certainly bids fair to make good Secretary ofthe Navy.
 l Mr. Fancy is an inter nal improvement man, in favor of judciOus Tariff, friend to the present Judiciary system, favorable to a re- newal of the charter of the United States ] hats V Q n. pinions in relation to the disposition of the public lands, I do not know. .. 7~.
 Mr. Barry, semper idens, a whole-hog Jack sonian, and a very amiable and agreeable gen. tleman.
 Oureyes are turned westwardly. The cleo tion in several Western States will take place ! in few weeks, and will result in-the expres- sion of an opinion decidedly unfavorable to the course of the administration up tO this time. have since Saturday seen several let ters from Kentucky, and from gentlemen long connected with the politics of that State, which contain very fattering accounts of the progress of tine cause of good gOvernnent.- The course of Mir. Calhoun is warmly and decidedly applauded; and public sentiment amounts almost to detestation of Martin Van
 Buren and his irresponsible agents"

To these qualifications may add several others essen tial to successful and popular Secretary such as superior intellect, scientific and liter ary requirements, manly independence, anC devoted patriotism. From his lofty rank a: f an officer and citizen. as a scholar and WrI ter, to look down upon his immediate prede

It is a matter of cxutatiOn to see such a man transferred from his border position tO the centre of the country, where his fine tal- ents and patriotic dispositions may be em- ployed on a scale so much more extended, and SO much more usefully to his fcllow-citi- zens.-Ibid.
 The Alexandria Phoenix mentions, that on breaking ground at the commencement Of the Alexandria Canal, on the 4th inst, under and attached to the first sod. thrown up by J. Roberts, Esq, Mayor of the city, was found by the Manager of the Museum, an Indian arrow point of white flint. two inches long, and stone, resembling in shape heart, a. bout two inches in circumference and half an inch thick. The place where they were dug 1 from was formerly ravine, but has been fll- ed up by the washing Of the earth from adja- cent grounds; and as those articles were firmly bedded beneath the sod, seven inches deep, they must have been there many years. 1 The Mercantile Advertiser says, "we un- derstand that short time before his death Colonel Monroe placed the whole manage of his affairs in the hands of his son-in- law Samuel l.. GOuverneur, Esq. to whose sole disposition he also has entrusted all his valuable papers-among which are many of the most interesting character. A young Irishman in New-York in passing along the wharf where ship from one of the ports of Ireland was about to be made fast, stopped to observe the passengers.
