o. In order to finish the account of the proceed
ngs of Congress up to the close of the session, and
to publish the letter of Mr. Ewing to the President,
and some other matters touching the breaking up of
Congress, and the Cabinet, we have been obliged to
omit some more miscellaneous reading.
The past week has been one of great excitement
throughout the country. The change of the Cabinet
and the dispersion of the members of Congress to
their various homes, in very good humor with the
President, have been the leading The course
of President Tyler in the too free use of the veto
power finds but few advocates in either of the great
parties of the country his feelings, to say nothing
of his Conscience, have not been harassing in the
very extreme, we cannot imagin what could make
them SOTO be orsaen by his friends, and meet with
no solace from his enemies, is indeed hard case.-
But-we will not anticipate-we look for better
state of things yet to come.
In addition tothe appointments, in another par: of
of this page, glad to say that that of EDWARD
EvERrTT, Minister to England, was confirmed by
the vote of % to l9-several members pairing off,

The nomination OF Bella Badger for Naval Officer
at Philadelphia, was rejected, and Alexander Fer
guson confirmed in his stead
Richard Adams, of Richmond, who was nominal
ed for an Indian Agency among the Cherokees was
also rejected He, it is sai was the fellow who sur
reptitiously obtained copy Of Mr. Bolts letter and
transmitted it to "Captain Tyler" Another gentle
man was subsequently nominated and confirmed
The nomination Of Ex-Gov. Ritner, for Treasurer
of the Mint, at Philadelphia, was withdrawn for the
reason that Mr.. Ritner was nearly blind, and Isaac
Roach substituted, and confirmed.
Information is yet received of the acceptance of
the appointment in the new Cabinet of only Messrs
Forward, upshur, and Legare. 1t seems doubtful
whether Mr.. Mclean will leave his seat on the SUI
preme Court bench, with the salary of $780, forI
for the uncertain tenure Of Secretarysp at $1,000
We shall soon know.
In the meantime, before the new Secretaries can

Post Office. Mr.. Forward, Of the Treasury, has en-
