WASHINGTON. MARCH 10.
The Executive Session Of the Sc.
nate wss brought to . close this fore.
noon. The nominations contained IN
the Globe Of yesterday have been con =.
hrmed. The most important are those
OF Dallas 10 BE- Minister to Russia.
Wheaton to be Minister to Prussia.
and Poinseit 10 be Secretary OF War.
Abraham Van Buren,. the second son
OF the President. has received the ap-
po,ntment OF Secretary of the Land
Ohoe. and will also act rs Private Sc
cretary Of his father. and as Chamber.
LAIN Of the Household. Donelson. it
IS SAID. went off IN foam at not hav-
ing received the appointment to the
War Department which was promised
to hin. He has received n fl reward
for has treachery tow ards Mr.. Calhoun.
OF whom. ut the time Of the explosion
IN General Jackson's first cabinet he
pro'essed TO be the firm friend. Mr..
Van Buren, capture Of him was a grand
achievement He has been fla,,enng
his imagination with the prospect of a
seat IN the Cabinet but just as the
seals appeared within his reach, ano.
Their rose. and grasped the glittering
pnze. II was with great difficulty
Jackson was prevented from nominal
ing Donelson on the last night of the
session. Mr.. Dallas arrived IN the city
to-day by the cars from Baltimore. Ii
is believed he WILL Immediately set out
on his mission. Mr.. Poinsett arrived
on Saturday last with his family. Mr..
Chew. the new Secretary Of Legation
to Russia, has been here for some DAYS
past.
No nonination was made of a Min
,>ter to Austria. The President will.
however. appoint one during the re-
cess, and | have good authority for
informing you that Mr.. King of
Alabama, will be the fortunate appli.
cant. Mr. King would have been no.
minated 10 the Senste-but. for the
fact, that having been elected TO the
Chair of the Senate, he had a pride in
being again chosen to that situa,ion. ON
the incumbency Of Richard VI. John.
son Vienna Is a pleasant place. and
doubt not, MIR. King. who has keen
relish for the joys Of life. will luxuria,e
IN that gay metropolis. No one can
object to this appointment, a. things 20.
MIR. King IS not altogether unler,ed IN
diplomacy. About sixteen or seven.
teen years ago, he was Secretary of
Legation 10 Russia. while the highly
endowed and accomplished Pinckney
vas ambassador to that country.
The cabinet arrangements are com.
pleted. but, with the exception Of those
CT Mr.. Poinsett and Mr.. Butler, The an.
poIn'men's are only temporary. The
principle OF rotation IN office" for
which the party were once SO clamor.
Gus. Is to be carried into effect IN the
case Of officers who are appointed for
four years. and whose commissions ex-
pred on the 18th instant. much more
extensively than many Of the faithful
desire. Our hotels and boarding house.
are filled with applicants for the places
that have been made vacant-and the
new President will find it hard to salts. !
