FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 3. Is34.

ssAl the word'' have been out to-day to hear the eulogy apon Lafayette, by J. Q. Adams and ihe production was well Wer thy of drawing forth such choice congre- gation. The Hall of the House of Rep resentatises was full---gaueries and the foor,-of gentlemen and adies,-and all with whom have conversed, express great satisfaction with, and appreciation of the enlogy. The President was there, the whole Cabinet, including Mir. Postmaster Barry, who, 1t seems has become part of the Cabinet-the Senate, who adjourned
 n form to the Hall of inc House,-and strangers, visitors here from all parts of the Union. Indeed the nation, through It's Rep- resentatlyess thus assembling in its organ Ized capacity, and in the very Halls of its Legislation, susPendng all business, and consecratlng one day for this especial pur- pose, has paid tribute to the great and good, such as 1t Is the fortune of but few men. to. receive. The organ selected to ble too, as he has been the President of the People ill whose behalf he has spoken ;- and the address which he has given wifi not only be read by Americans with pride and pleasue, but it will he read across the Atlantic. and exert its influence over eve- ry people in Europe, of avery name and tongue.
 One of the most interesting spectaeles of the day was the meeting of the Presi- dent and the Heads of Departments i'll the Senate Chamber, previous to their march ing in form into the Hall of the House ol Representatives. There, if you remem- Der, he and his Cabinet were invited,- with the members of the Foreign Legations that are now in this city, of whom by the way, there were few present, and among the absentees were M. Serurier, the French Minister, and Sir Charles Vaughan, the British Minister. It so happened, curious ly enough, that Jackson, Forsyth, Woodbu- ", Dickerson, Cass, Barry and Butler, were fronted as they sat in chairs close to- gether, by Clay, White Webster, Calhoun and Poindexter, all of whom were in an area not ten feet apart, Clay directly infront of Jackson, Poindexter and Calhoun not far off,--and J. Q. Adams but little to the left, none of whom, you know, but White and Webster, are on speaking terms with the President. Old Jackson, with his bris- tied hair, peeped into the galleries and whispered with Forsyth, who was at his right hand. --Glay sat as unconeerned, with the exception of a look somewhat prouder than usual, as if he were telling story in circle of gentlemen. Father White seemed to be contemplating the spectacle with musing-hlxe aspect. Calhoun was whispering with Buchanan, to pass the awkward time. Poindexter looked things anutterable. Benton sat in his chair, as usuals plotting mischief,--.and opposite him, on the other side, was Isaac Hill, who for a moment had suspended his everlasting Escrlbbing to chuck the fingers of both hands into his mouth, as he threw himself back into his chair to witness the show And then there was little Martin, whom must not forget, in the Vice Presidents chair, smirling and smiling, with that self satisfied face, which no description can paint, but which Is as descriptive of his character as any thing can possibly be. In this awkward position, thus crowded togeth- CT, face to face, these very great friends sat for 20 minutes or more, ln silence unusu- ally great in the Senate Chamber. as all the spectators, who commonly make noise, were in. the Hall of the House, securing seats before the Orator of the day came i from the Senate.
 ] am sorry that I have not lime to give you a fuller description of all this interest- ing dspay,-for it was highly interesting. but 1 write this full gallop, with boy at my elbow, waiting se take 1t to the Post Office,--and therefore, must stop.
