President, of which you have doubtless been al
ready advised, continues to be the fruitful topic O
conversation and OF various conjecture Immedi
aVely upon her arrival, a special messenger wa
sent to Washington with dispatches for the Brit
ish Minister Mr.. Fox; and there have been vnuu
rumors in the city to-day, that they contained in
slrnctious, that Mr.. Fox should demand the i'm
mediate and unconditional release of Mr. Nc
Leod, and in case this should he refused, that he
should demand his passports This | regard NJ
not unlikely. 1t has been said TOO that our Gov
eminent has determined to accedc 10 his demo,,
and to liberato Mcleod. Not much reliance car
oe placed upon this ruinor, MS it is not well an
iheniicated bat If it be true this course has I'M
doubleday been decided upon in consequence O,
the distinct avowa of Lord Panerston in the
House OF Commons, that The destruction of he

government assumed the entire responsibility of IT,
ms, OF course, makes it nj once n national affair.
ana takes it out of the hands of the local authori-
tics. The tone of the whole debate in Parlia-
nen, and especially ofthe remarks of Lord Palm
erston and MIR. Hume i'll the Lower House, clear
ly proves the determination of the British. at nil
hazards, to insist upon the immediate Liberation
of Mcleod. We are led TO infer also, from re-
mark of the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, that our
Government has been for some months fully in
formed of the intentions and opinions of the Eng
fish with regard to the Caroline, and that. for some
reason leh open to conjecture, Mr.. Van Buren, has
chosen 10 avoid meeting the question thus presen.
ted Thank Heaven, from the men no,o in pow
er, we shall have no unmnuy shrinking!
The adherents of the fallen dynasty in this CITY
are commencing operations for the Charter Elcc.
ton which comes on within few weeks. They
held meeting at Tammany Hall last week, for
the especial purpose Of clarifying the Ex-Recor-
der, Morris, and giving him n fair start for the
Mayoralily. The meeting, taking into considera
ton the efforts made to have it large and fully at
tended, was piliiully thin and utterly spiritess-
Much good breath was wasted in denonncinu the
Infamous Registry Law belching anathemas
against Chief Magistrate and in repeating the
stercotypcd scurrty with regard to The President
Frequent illusions were made to Mr.. Van Buren,
as candidate for the Presidency in 1916, but so
slightly does he possess the regard and esteem of
even his own friends that do not believe ma
ority them, in this city, would be willing again
to give him their votes
The affair Of the Coectorshp, and the detail
cation of Mr.. Hoyt, have been Of late subjects of
considerable interest 1t is suspected by many
that his accounts have been greatly embarrassed
and that the rigid investigation, which would of
course have taken place if faithful Wing had
succeeded him, would have shown him to the
world in no very enviable light. Hence his resig-
nation and the appointment OF political friend to
fill his place, only about week before the po-
cal decease of Mr. Van Buren,, are regarded as a
mere ruse, by which the affair is TO be kept lin the
family and thus flushed up; for they confident.
ly expect that Mr. Morgan will be allowed to re-
main in Office for some few weeks nt least. Wheth-
er this be the true state of the is more than
| can say il cannot be denied that there are ma
ny circumstances TO Justify belief in its truth
According TO present appearances the present in
cumbent will not be removed Immediately when
he is, Hon. EDWARD CURTIS, Member ofthe House
of Representatives ut the last session of Congress,
will probably be his successor.
OREsTEs A. BnowNsoN, celebrated as The Edi-
tor of the Boston Quarterly Review, and as the
promugator of The most radical and destructive
doctrines, ever introduced in this country, has
been lecturing in the city, upon the Democracy of
Christianity and the Reform Spirit of the Age
His lectures were ,oIcrably well attended.
We learn from Washington that all the nomin-
atoms of President HARRISON for Cabinet officers
have been confirmed by the Senate, and that n
motion was made by Hon. w. p. MANGUM of N.
c. that blair and RveS be dismissed printers
TO the 9Th Congress- This resolution will I'M
doubleday be passed. and thus will he nullified one
OF the thousands acts Of base, ignoble profigacy
-consumated by the late Administration even
while on its death bed
Private letters from Washington state that an
extra session of Congress has boen determined on.
How much reliance can be pnced upon their in
formation cannot say. Unless the Foreign Re-
lalions OF our country should demand immediate
action, it is TO be hoped that this measure may not
be found necessary.
How do you Vermonters relish the Granny's
Inaugural? We Of the Metropolis look upon it
as an earnes. that the high hopes Of the nation
not to be disappointed we see ia it proofs, strong
and abundant, that we have chief magistrate
whose heart is bound up in his country's welfare,
who has no private ends to serve, no personal
ambition, at whose unholy shrine political ineg
ry must be sacrificed but who will be ruled by
the dictates OF n high patriotism aud stern devo-
ton to his country's veal. Even the bitter, impla-
cable opponents of his Administration yelp forth
Their condemnation, in full chorus to be sure, but
WIN extremely feeble voices. Even the great
"ooe itself pays it the highest possible compli-
nen''-uh'nen,ionaly of course, in saying that it
"hhsrENiAN throughout and tho Evening Post
can only cr'ciSe its style, find fault with It's cassi-
ca illusions and condemn 1t in the mass. Ii is
evidently destined to be one of the mos, popu,or
documents ever sent forth by an Executive.
