IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON,

IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON
The advices from Washington by the latest mails
are Of uncommon interest. The Cabinet with the ex-
cepton of Mr.. Webster, is dissolved and new nomi-
nations to supply the vacancies submitted Senate,
by the President This step has been apprehended
for several days, as matter of necessity growing
out of the views ofthe Presiden: upon the subject
of National Bank, or Fiscal Agent
In this singular and unfortunate juncture, it is pc
culiary gratifying that Mr. Webster still retains his
place as Secretary of State. Latest advces agree
in stating that his connection with the Cabinet is con-
tnued at the earnest request of the President, and
with the advice of the Wing members of Congress,
Whether it is to be Temporary merely, is subject
of speculation, not explained in his letter to Hon.
Mr.. Ketchum of New York on the subject. We
shall see presently
Mr.. EWING addresses a letter to the President,
from which it easy gather the ground of difference
between him and the President. The letter con-
tains an interesting recital of matters III connection
with the Fiscal Agent projects and the subsequent ex-
ercse of the Veto, &c, leaving the President, in a
position upon this subject, by means 10 be envIed
The following remarks we copy from the Boston
Atlas
DISSOLUTION OF THE CABINET.
It is already well known to citizens that the
HARRISON CABINET is now dissolved. With one
single exception, the eminent men who were gather.
ed together by departed President, have been
scattered to The four quarters of onr country and
that Cabinet which he selected with such care, such
deliberaton, and with CHI satisfaction to the great
body of the People, and into which he gathered wis
dom from all the different sections of the country,
never be again convened, to bless the nation
with its counsels. Who is to blame for all this?-
Upon whose shoulders does it rest, that a Cabinet,
second to no one that has ever b9en organized in the
country, has been dissolved and destroyed WAS
it the order of that amened one, who called this
great intellectual galaxy into existence Was it
the voice of him, whose last dying wish was, that
the principles of the Government might be under
STOOD and carried out? No--Oh, No-If WILLIAM
HENRY HARRISON, could look up from his grave,
and see how far those principles have been departed
from, and upon what superficial and untenable
grounds these departures have been justified his
agonzed spirit would weep bitter tears for the inju
Iy done to his country, and to her free institutions.
The authenticated accounts from Washington
show us, to our infinite regret, that THOMAS Ew-
ING, Of Ohio, who lately held the office of Socreia-
ry of the Treasury-JoHN BELL, of Tennessee,
Secretary Of Ware. B. BADGER, Of North Car
olna, Secretary ofthe Navy-FRANcIs GRANGER,
of New York, Post Master General and J.
CRIrTENDEN, Of Kentucky, Attorney General,
have been driven forth from the service of that
county, which hailed their appointment to Office
the harbinger Of returning happiness and prosperity
Since the news came of the death of our beloved
HARRISON, we have seen nothing like the gloom
that pefvades our Wing community, at this ntelli-
gence-and this regret is the greater, inasmuch as
the latter calamity is considered at another sad con-
sequence of the first great loss With his enlighten-
ed and liberal views oflhe proper administration of
s.he Government we should have been saved the
necessity Of mourning broken promises and dis
appointed expectations.
There is little use, however, in grieving for what
cannot now be recalled. The transactions of the
last month are irrevocabIe. They constitute part
OF Inc history OF our country Inc pages upon
which that part of its history written, will
be reverted by us, with any agreeable sensations.
President TYLER has made the nominations
to the Senate, of persons to fill the vacant bu-
reaus in his Cabinet-and those nominations have
all Of them, unquestionably, been confirmed. He
proposes Walter Forward, of Pennsylvania, as
his Secretary of the Treastry-Abel B. Upshur,
of Virginia, for Secretary of the Navy-John
Mclean, of Ohio, for Secretary Of War-and
Hugh S. Legare, of South Carolina, as Attorney
General. 1t is said, also, that Charles A, Wick
life, of Kentucky, was probably nominated on
Monday, to fill the vacant Post Office Depart
ment.
