The Washington correspondent of the

: der date of March 25th--"The President,

Virginia, and RICHARD RUSH, of Penn
sylvania, as Commissioners 10 settle, as

which has arisen between the inhabitants
Of Ohio, and those OF the Territory of
Michigan, in regard the northern boun-
dairy line Of Ohio. Mr.. RnsH lie now in
this city, and will, il is said, leave to-
morrow for Ohio" We suppose this
news to be true. Mr.. RusH has certain

that money has been drawn from "the
Government" on account Of this mission.

CeBes.-The paper published at
Franklin, Louisiana, says: We are
informed by several gentlemen Of this
Parish, that the new species of coffee,
spoken ofby Mr.. Dupont, of Florida,
as being an excellent substitute for the
Cuba coffee, grows spontaneously 10
great abundance throughout the Alta

inhabitants as the "Indian cotfee."-

Small Poe ia Mebile.-We learn
from the Mobile Register Of the 9th

hospital has been fitted up ia the su.
herbs, for patients laboring under tina,
disease, exclusively.
The brig Susan, lately commanded
by Capt. Tilden Of this port, arrived

The RUMoR.-Thefe appears 10 be
very little doubt, in the public mind, Of
the truth Of the rumor mentioned by US
day or two ago, that Mr.. Amos KEN
DALI is to be placed q, the head Of the
Post Office Department. The Official
paper here does not deny, and the Ad.
niDistration paper at Baltimore virtu.

I Gazette says, "from the article ia the
Baltimore Republican, a principal
Jackson paper, we infer that there is
\ too much foundation for the rumor."
The arrangement, however, will not
take place, it is said, until the Virginia
elections are over. The effect of such

President of the United States. Mr..
Kendall is not the man to hesitate at

The following is a passage from the
Baltimore Republican, referred to by
the Editor Of the National Gaseits:
"AMos KENpALL.--The opposition
