In few days, the Ex-Minister of Spain will
be in our city. The meeting that will take
place between the President and Major Eaton
and lady, will afford scan. mag for the fashion,
able circles of this Metropolis, for month to
come. The condemned look of the high .func-
tionay--the contempt of the displaced minister,
and the whitening scorn that will sit on the face
of the lady, will afford tabteau of the richest
kind. No one has better knowledge of Van
Buren, than the lady in question; but she has yet
to bear the double treacie,y practised upon her
self and husband. When General Harrison was
nominated, the President said, "the Wings were
gone-thcy would be divided, and that hence
his reelection would be secure.n In the SEEM
ing plenitude of his power, he took occasion to
strike with fiendIile malgnity his former friends.

to witness his election, and Consequent punish
