AT twelve o'clock he received the member.
OF the Cabinet present in Washington, f,he So
crctary oil the Navy being still absent y an,
they remained in consultation nearly two h,,,u
The interview was, il is understood, emnentl,
satisfactory TO all parties. Mr. Tyler told ,ho
members of the Cabinet that he regarded them
as holding the same relation to him as they
did to the late President. The Cabinet will
therefore continue, as 1t was organized by Gen.
Harrison and the course Of the Administration
will run as if the dispensation over which the
country mourns had not occurred. The first
Office Of the Government has only passed from
the hands of one Wing into those Of another
and how much soever we may lament the recent
sad and calamtous visitation, there is not the
slightest ground for apprehension as to its poti-
cal consequences. Since the arrival of Mr..
Tyler, we learn that the public anxiety as to his
future course has been much relieved.-He
wishes to change nothing, approves Of all that
has been done, and seeks chiefly to carry out
the measures Of Gen. HARRISON and the will of
the people that elected him. The National In
telligencer Of Wednesday morning, contains the
following semi-oflcal authorised statement Of
the substance of the interview between Mr..
Tyler and the Cabinet.
