The Hon. JOHN TYLER arrived here
this morning at four o'clock, accompanied
10y his two sons, and Mr. Webster, Jr.,
who was despatched by the Cabinet to
communicate to him official intelligence
|of the .la,e Presidents DEATH. He is In
good health, though somewhat fatiguetl
10y the journey, mostsof which was per-
formed at night. He very properly sug-
lgested 10 his personal friends desire 10
remain as retired and quiet as possible
to-day, and the citizens, therefore, have
|relrained generally from calling to pay
their respects, 49, ss,'
About noon, the members of the Cabi,
met now an the city--namely Messrs.
Webster, Ewing, Bell, Crittenden, and
IGranger-waited upon him, by appoints
|ment; and the interview was eminently.
satisfactory to those gentlemen and the
President, as an aathoritive account,
when published will be to the country al
large. The Cabinet Of President HAR-
RIsoN, will be the Cabinet of President
TYLER. @ $3.50 sGs aes ses@ f.,15
After some consultation, the oath Of
office was formally administered TO him
las President Of the United States, by
ZChief Justice Cranch,a of the Circuit
court of the District of Columbia, in
THE presence of the Cabinet. He will
Ihenceforth take shat title, and should be
SO designated by all who have communi.
cations with him. In the order of ar
arrangements for the funeral tomorrow, he
will appear as President of the United
States, and not as Vice President, (which
latter designation is given in the pro.
lgramme published to-day, and he will
be attended by the heads of the Execu-
tive Departments as his Cabinet.
AS to the course of the Administration
under President TYLER, the country has
the strongest grounds for. the assurance
that it will continue to be directed by
the great Why principles upon which
General Harrison and himself were elect
led i'll November, by the Wings of the
Union, to the two highest offices of the
Republic. The first office of the Gov
|ernment has passed from the hands of
lone Wing into those of another And
how. much soever we may lament the
recent sad and calamNous visitation, ii
lis source Of consolation, with regard to
the political consequences, and the eff
fects upon the prosperity and happiness
of the country, that the people have, I'M
der the Constitution, already chosen a
worthy successor to the departed Presi,
|dent-like him, an homes. mana Re.
publican in principle, and a patriot in
practice. "@
President TYLER has already given
proof of his determination to preserve
that harmony and cordial cooperation,
SO signally displayed during the last con
test, and so essential to the preservation
|of the Wing party. and to the ascen-
|dancy, therefore, of sound principles of
Government. He has expressed the ut
most confidence in the present Heads of
different Departments, and his entire APP
prevail Of what has already been done {;
and his earnest desire that they may
continue to concur, on all great public
policy. But enough of this subject for
The present. l will recur to it at an.
other more appropriate time,
The Kindness and fine sensibilities of
Mr. Tyler, were beautifully exhibited to
day towards the relatives and PERSONAL
friends of General Harrison, 10 whom
he paid a visit at the White House.
The interview was highly gratifying on
both sides, and the late Presidents re-.
a,ives were deeply affected by the deli
cate terms in which Mr. TYLER. rendered.
to them the occupancy of the House, so
long as they might find it convenient or
agreeable to remain. .aa
The members of the Diplomatic Corps
also paid visits of coincidence to-day to
Mrs Harrison, and Coils. Todd and
Chambers. >,g.4 . {.
T The cars from Baltimore, and the
Southern Steamboats, brought crowds to
Join in the funeral solemnities to-mor-
row. The body Of the late President
was not exhibited on yesterday, but
numbers took occasion to look upon the
coffin in which it is enclosed. The shops
and warehouses in Pennsylvania Avenue
have been partially closed today; and

MIR Webster, Jr., discharged his duty
