WEDNESDAY, May IL.
1t was reported very currently, and with vast
ayidity TO day, at very early hour, that Mr. Van
Buren's Ministers had taken it into their heads to
plaz Melville, Exmeuth, Chatham and Lendonder-
ry and kick them selves out of the traces and dis
solve the cabinet.
Al the instant there was a vast deal of exutaton
on the part of the Wings, and IL the less
than strange, that many OF the locoiocos were
pleased with the arrangement. All the Wings hur-
rars and one half of the locofoco cabs, throw up
their greasy caps, and cried, God bless The re-
port however, had scarcely began to circulate,
before was contradicted. Ii was all a fam; ali ia
nav eve and Elizabeth Martin.
According to the runors which the gossips got up,
Mr. FORSYTH was to go TO the Court of st. James,
Mr.. Woodbury. was TO go TO France, Mr.. Poinsett
was to go to Mexico; Mr.. Paulding to proceed
To Constantinople, and eat opium with the Sultan,
and keep the doors OF his Serene Highnes's harem.
The most needful part Of the arrangement was, that
Mr. Cuban C. Verplanck, TO be translated to the
oil &c of Secretary of the Treasury, while Dr. Dun
can. of Ohio, to be invested with the rebes OF
Secretary OF State.
The gossips were very sure that all these things
would take place, that they were most wofully dis
appointed when they discovered that all they had
told an all they had been led to believe, was as
baseless the inventive genius W no had engender
ed them. There was not the slightest shadow Tor
this gossip. But, that OF no Consequence. those
who deal largely in the marvellous and the mild and
wonderful are Just well pleased Al a Wrapper
be circulated, as H the - Wrapper affixed"
lcgitmatey trae, and hence, the sting announced TO
them all the purposes OF TACT.
As for Mr. Kendall's case, that, according TO Cos
sip was a well settled and dec ided affair He had
actually resigned, and going TO Madrid, 90 fill
,he embassy now njoycd by the Hon. John IL. Ea-

and delivered" in trsdesman's shop IN Pennsyiya-
MIA Avenue.

sip replied 20 the interrogatory as follows;
L.. 1t Anna. dali xfe mad infa
Caggett's shop, and after she had exchanged the
courtesies of the day with Caggett, she said to him,
- Nv the way, Mr. Claggett we have an account
here and il You'll hand me your bill, will pay it
pom my word, Mrs. Kendall said Claggctt,
your account is not made up. l do not wish the
u,5nsy; settle the demand Just when you please:
At IS not material me when you settle the account
nAara "
ooh, but, Sir, il is mutual; we want to keep our
little domestic affairs settled AZ all times. IL Is not
a good olan, Str, TO let these bills remain unsettled
II NAV 80 happen in the events OF this life, that
mag be called unexpectedly to other theatres of
action"
'You do not expect to leave the city soOn do you,
80 no: but Mr. Kondall's health is feeble, and he
NAV be Inclined 20 absent himself for while 60
cover il. I'll call in day or two, SIR and hope

The lsdy had scarcely left the store, before

down the Avenue and meeting friend, remarked to
him that the health Of Mr.. Kendall feeble, that
he should not be surprised if he was compelled TO
resign bis Office. "And II he does resign, continued
the gentleman. - hope the President viii send him
20 Spain in the place Of Mr.. Eaton The climate OF
Madrid would suit his case exactly, and might
speedily restore him"

believed that Mr. Kendall, had resigned and sailed
foe spain SO much Tor Washington gossip.
Mr.. Woodbury., far from resgning his office, holds
on IT, with redoubled temerity, and could not be
induced uadcr any circumstances, 60 abandon his
place. He is the right hand man of the President,
and will. suppose, stick TO Mr. Van Buren,, and GO
e. the devil with him, f he takes IL into his head TO
escase the big and little Tippecanoes Of the day and
generation his is world OF humbugs, and he who
does the most al humbuggng the world, is the best
and most successful fellow.
