The New York papers received yester,
da, TEEN with accounts, derived from their
Washington correspondents, of reported
misunderstanding between the President
Of the United States and the Secretary Of
State, and Of SO unpleasant nature, it is
stated, as to have induced the Secretary
abruptly TO tender to the President the
resignation of his Office. As we have rea-
son to believe that tho main fact of these
statements is not without foundation, and
as there is no reason why we should keep
our readers in the dark on such an affair,
now become notorious, we transfer 10 our
paper, for their curiosity, such of tho par
;iculars in regard to the rupture as appca1s
to possess the most probability.

! WASHINGTON, Friday, March 10,
"John Forsyth, the Secretary of State,
sent in yesterday his resignation, in note
addressed with the uncourteous supcrscfips
ton, "Mr. Van Buren. Presidentofthc C..
States." a copy Of this, together with am
address from Mr.. Forsyth to the citizens
Of Georgia, was sent to the Globe, and
would have appeared this morning, had il
not Teen suppressed she cveming before w
consent of parties. What concessions were
made by Van Buren, to Forsyth, or how
the storm was quietcd, am unable to say;
but the facts as relate them to YOU arc
substantially correct"
From the Journal of Commerce.
WASHINGTON, March 10.
I" [ understand that the ostensible rea.
son given by Mr.. Forsyth, in the letter;
for his resi- gnation, was, that he had UNDER
stood it to be Mr.. Van Buren's declared
policy to have no individual in his Cabi-
net who aspircd TO the Presidency!
There are probably other grounds for
Mr.. Forsyth's discomfort; for it has long
been known. that, as member of Genc-
raj Jackson's Cabinet, his relations to-
wards his colleagues were not of the most,
cordial character"
Having copied the above, it appears
proper that VIC should add what is said
and sumiscd on the subject by the Ad-
ministration journal in New York, the
Evening Post.
From the Neao York Erening Post.
"Thc Washington letter writers in the
Opposition journals have a story tina. Mr..
Forsyth, on Thursday last, sent in to tho
President resignation Of his post as Sc
cretary of State, and, at the same time,
sent to the Globe newspaper an address TO
the citizens Of Georgia. Mr.. Forsyth,
however, it is added, was prevailed upon
to Withdraw his resignation, and the ad-
dress was not published.
