ADMINISTRATION Of the General Government.
TIE Aurora possess.s tie advantage of
Washington correspondent, whose letters
contain internal evidence Of their being
prepared by come person having direct
communication with hl2n i,lclal au:u0n-
ties. By some Of Our contemporaries they
are SAID 10 he written BY one Of the sons
OF the President; which Ne do not believe,
because we have bot the leas, doubt that
they are sufficiently occupied moi to hate
tlne for such laborious performances. We
believe these letters, however, TO be quite
as much to be relied upon, 10 reference 10
the views OF the Executive, at fhe moment
/ Of their preparation, as if !hoy were reoy
written by the Presidents son, or even by
/ the President himself.
I Wnh this expression of orr confidence

under date OF April 29th, Saturday las, j
At the meeting Of the Cabinet to-day
a cisar aud definite understanding was had
between the President aud his advisers, at
which Mr.. Webster was present, upon the
future policy and movements to be adopted
and pursued by the Administration. MIR.

ment Of State On Monday next, or be may
remain, If accessory, a few days longer
/ HIS counexion with the Cabinet as Score.
,ary Of State will cease, in any event, dur
ing the coming this present. week "
"Mr. Legare, our able and gifted At.
toruey General, will succeed Mr.. Webster
i as Secretary of State, in conjunction with
/ his present Office.
/ 1t remains undecided whether Mr.. lie.
care will permanently preside over the De-
partmeut Of State, and thus create va.
cancy 10 Inc office to which he has contrib
aed so many distinguished honors."
| When we heard, some time ago, that the
place Of hr. Webster, permitted 10 retire,
would be flied by MIR Stevenson tour late

former Senator from Virginia. or at least
by some high toned politician Of the jack

We nave no doubt, however, no,with.
