| FOREIGN MIssIoNs.--It can hardly have es-
capped the observation of the People that, while
scarcely a week had elapsed after Gen. Jackson
and MIR. Van Buren's accession to power be;
fore the heads Of nearly all our Foreign Minis
[ ters-Gen. Harrison's among the number
I were brought the block, yet since Gen llar-
rison's accession to the Presidcncy-now near

Charge-we believe not even Consul has
been superseded! Nearly every one of those
now in place were appointed by Jaekon and
Van Buren, from among thci. own rar,isans--
some of them the most z,alors and efficient in
their ranks-yet they are allowed to retain the
most honorable, lucrative, important and con-
fdeata stations under a Wing Executive for
months. What dreadful Reign of terror this
is What wonder that Messrs. Buchanan and
| Waterson are astonished at the novel enormity
| of Wings Prescription, and call for official
statements Of the reasons? We trust no OBJ
stacle will be inlerposed 10 the call. Let them
have reasons as plenty as blackberres.'
Doubtless some changes in the Foreign A
gents of the Government would have been
made ere this, had Congress been in Session.
The President has very properly hesirated to
make changes in those posts without the con-
currence Of the Senate. But that bar is now
removed, and it is understood that several
changes will soon be made--among them the
following
Hon. JOHN SERGEANT of Pennsylvania will

! ANDREW STEVENSON, who has expressed his
! desire 10 be relieved.
Hon. DANIEL JsNIFER Of Maryland, (late M
C.) will go ambassador TO Austria, in place Of
Hon. II. A.. MyHLENBERG, who has already
returned.
Col. CHAs. s, ToDD of Kentucky (Aid of
General Harrison at the Battle of the Thames
afterward Inspector General ofthe U. S. Army
ambassador TO Spain mission now vacant.
Some minor Diplomatic appointments will
likewise be made but it is understood that
Gen. CAss will be retained as ambassador TO
France, and Mr.. Wheaton ditto to Prussia.--
We hear nothing definite of the Russian En-
bassy but it is presumed that our worthy c.
Representative, C. c. CAMBRELING, will MOI
hold Office under Wing President one mo-
meDt longer than considerations of public duty
may constran him to do so.
We hear further that Judge e. M. Hun
TINGToN of Indiana will soon be- appointed
Commissioner of the General Land Office, vice
T. J, WHIrcoMB. a peddler of;he Extra Globe.
Also PHILIP R. FENpALL District Attorney for
the district of columbia, vice FRANCIS s. KEY,

cessary. The author of The Star-Spangled
Banner ought to be Whig.--LQg Cabin.
