From The Richmond Whig.

NET. correspondent Of the Charleston
Courier transmits the following piece of in
telligence:
"There is rumour that there is more
trouble in the cabinct-it is sand that the
Secretaries of the Treasury and of War
are about to reslgn--the cause or causes
not yet publicly known. have it from IN
doubted authority, that Mr.. MLane intends
making Baltimore his future residence, and
there pursuing the practice Of the law"
| Private information Received in this city,
corrohorates the above surmise. The ir-
responsible influence the President is
known to be under-that irreverently STYLED
the Kitchen Cabinet, Lewis, Kendall g. Co.
An influence which frequently comes in
collision with the counsel of. his constitu-
tlonal advisers, and as invariably triumphs
over the latter-Is supposed, with every
probability, to have disguised the Secre-
atrles of War and Treasury into the
thought Of resignation. They do not choose
to be responsible for measures over which
their wishes and advice have no control :;
and If the elder Pitt was justifable in aban-
doning the Ministry because his influence
IN the cabinet was overshadowed by that of
his colleagues, Secretaries Cass anil Nc
Lane, may reasonably hope to stand excus
ed IN the eyes of the nation, for reinuuish.
ing position which they find commanded
and nullifed by bed-chamber advisers.
An anecdote is told to illustrate The su-
premacy of this bed-chamber knot of favor
ties. There is Tor ,UaS) a Judge Doty in
Michigan, man Of talents and character.
appointed hy Mr.. Monroe, and .he near
trend OF Secretary Cass. Periodically.
the President has the Territorial Judges in
ms power. and may remove virtually by de-
cllning to re-nomnatc them. This power
he has, during the present session of the
Senate, extensively exercised, and driven
from the bench in Michigan and Florida. a
number of irreproachable Judges. JUDGE
Do'y came to Washington, fortified with
numerous and strong testimonials from his
country. lie proceeded 10 show these evil
dences OF his worth and good conduct, to
his friend Gov. Cass, hut the latter delicate

as Jackson told Breckenridge, that he
knew the man, and wished not to see his
testimonials; but that he would Introduce

his ppointment-that be could not i'm

which the Government at Washington could
not do less than initiate. We cannot but
presume that Messrs. Livingston and Ia
ney concurr'd in these views. We need
hardly add, that Judge Doty was reformed
nevertheless, his place being no doubt
wanted for one Of the friends of the lesser
Cabinet, Lewis, Kendall g. Co.
OF all the farces which it has been attemoted
to play off for the edlfcaten of the people a nd
the profit of their managers, since the com.
menccment OF the reforming era, this Baltimore
Van Buren, convention business is decidedly the
most ridiculous packed assembly of the
most obsequlous tools of the President, TO give
formality 10 long established design, the f,i.
tility Of which all could discover, and none dare
oppose 1t was as well understood before the
Convention as since that Van would run with
Jackson, and it is not among the least CRAFTY
ing signs of the times, that The two, intripuer
and dupe, will sink together. Whatever merit
may be accorded TO either for past services,
poslerity will appreciate the patriotism of the
men who have publicly surrendered '.American
pretensions, too long and TOO tenaciously main

from his proud height, to seek by humliating
duplication, the favor and mercy Of the British
Lion.

LOOK HERE. The treason consummated.
" A letter from London received in Montreal,
dated April 6, states that the British Gocern.

The North Eastern Boundary Question, agreea.
bly, to the arbitrament IF the King of Hotiand"
Thus has the treason leaked out A. Our worst
fears are realized Disgrace thckens upon US /!
The President at this moment is amusing our
commissioners in Washir gton, and therefore il
is probable, that n denial will be made of the
truth of the above extract. 1t ia what we have
predicted all along, what we must expect. and
what the British party have forced us TO submit
to. An effort will be made 10 conceal the fact

NJ Y. Gazette.
Sailors have ever been depicted by the
British song and play wrigbis, as drink
ing, slashing, and fighting race yet in this
port, where we have ut least twice as many
sailors ns there are members in Congress-
there has lleen far less fighting and quarrel
ling about our wharves than at the capitol in
Washington, during the present session.
Lying in wait, drawing drks, pulling hair
triggers, and beating PROSTATE men with
bludgeons, would not lie tolerated for mo-
rnent by our northern sailors, whose sense
of honor is too high for such practices.
