INFLUENZA IN ENGLAND.
The London Medical Gazette says

! cases lnIldneu, ana, dICer low udyS, over
loaded with viscid secretion, interfering with
the liberalization Of the blood. The oppros-
sion of breathing is iii many cases urgent, and
attended with great pain along the lower edge
ofthe ribs, and in the epigastrum. The pulse
is for the most part soft, and depletions are
borne very badly; in those in whom they are
carried too far delirium is apt to supervene.
Numerous cases have proved fatal, and POST

tons, with condensation of portions oflung,
but the pleura suffering comparatively sell

dious, and the patients 60 grumblins on for
many days with loss of appetite, great languor,
and something of ill-humour. u
o. A correspondent of the U. 8. Gazette,
writing from Washington, on the 27th, OBJ
serves: "The clamors Of the commercial
world have reached Mr.. Van Buren,, but have
produced no effect upon him, He sturdily
resists every effort to make him tcscind the
Treasury circular. It thought, that had he
foreseen what has since taken place, he would
have rescinded the circular Immediately after
the inauguration but that having refused
once, for the sake Of consistency, he deter.
mines to adhere to his refusal, be the conse-
quences to the country what they may, lest lie
shonld disgrace himself, and place himself In
less elevated position before the people than
that which he believes that he now occupies.
Rather than wound his self complacence, he
would see the country ruined. Such a man

burning. This display Of philosophy Tramp
ling over patriotism, will do much to ALLEVIATE
the public respect from the Presidents and /
believe he will finally be compelled to yield to
public opinion, even in reference to the res
ending of the circular. He will do it with an
i'll grace, after having first refused to rescind;
but the general expectation is that he will
have to submit with the best grace possible.
1t is understood that the members of the cabi-
net are thus divided-three, (Mr. Forsyth,
Mr. Poinsett and Mr.. Butler in favor of res
ending, and two, (Mr. Woodbury. and Mr..
Kendall againstit. Mr.. Van Buren, himself
is supposed to be against it, more because of
the secret compact or understanding between
him and General Jackson, than in conse-
quence of his own personal feeling taking that
direction. The subject Of closing the land
efIices has also been discussed at length dur
ing the past week, the cabinet having daily
sessions which continue about 6 hours.-Mr.
Van Buren, does not wish to close the land Of
fees, but to leave them open for private en-
tries as usual and to prohibit any further sales
of lands by public auction for the present; but
some of his counsellors, (the Benton faction
urge the propriety of shutting the land offices
altogether. 1t is very certain that the Presi-
dent and his cabinet are in great perplexity
and tribulation. They see that the policy. and
course pursued by General jackson, and which
have been bequeathed to MIR. Van Buren, for
him to carry out, are ruinous to the country !
that although General Jackson. on account of
his great popularity, was able to carry on this
condition of things, with the concurrence OF
the people, Mr.. Van Buren,, wanting that pop
ularity to sustain him, will not be able to tread
in the course of his predecessor, but must fall
if he persists in it. In this dilemma the cabi-
net meet and discuss, and meet and discuss a.
gain, without coming to any decision, while
ruin is striding,with giant steps over the COM
mercial interests of the Union.
