The Cabinet yesterday had under confederation
| the foreign appointments, and decided upon the
nomi,ation of Mr.. Stiles, M. c., from Georgia, in
the late Congress, as Charge to Austria, in place
of Mr.. Jenifer. the present minister Mr.. Stiles is
a very gentlemanly young man, and has a very
| fine, handsome woman as his better half and il is
| to be hoped will sustain the honor of his country
| at the Court to which he is to be accredited. He
was very anxious to obtain the Consushp at Ha-
ysnai M b6 but ,, as informed ySui some weeks since,
/ from that position. Had not this been the case,
| and could Mr.. Stiles have obtained this consul.
| ship, understand he would have declined the
| appointment to Austria, which he has now rs-
| ceived
The appointment of Major Davezac, of New
York, as Charge to the Hague, was also agreed
this gallant old veteran should think, will be pc.
culiarly gratifying to the democracy, not only Of
the State of New York. but generally. The Major
is an old stager, and very popular one. He Is,
too, talented man, and very well read, and will,
doubtless, reflect honor on the appointment There
was some talk for day or two past that ne would
probably be sent to Russia, but that il, suppose,
reserved as a sop for some one else.
MI. buchanan and the clerks in the State Depart
ment attached to the diplomatic bureau are now
over head and ears in business preparing the in
structiOns for these two gentlemen and learn that
| the Secretary OF State and his clerks have been
| almost overwhelmed with the multiplicity Of work
| they have had on their hands. Ten, eleven and
twelve O'Clock at night frequently find them en-
ployed No necessity for applying the ten hour rule
| to them, or rather, think they would be much
obliged to any personfwho would enforce IT,. as
it would save them four or five Six hours labor
| per diem. Mr.. Buchanan,I understand, will occupy
the house he has rented in the OF tomorrow
and next day, and then with his nieces TO do the
honors.[ suppose he will be glad to have his friends
call upon him in social way
am informed also that the Cabinet have deci-
ded upon offering the English mission to Mr.. Ell
| more, of s: G.. ANNOUNCED this fact some weeks
ago and this is only carrying out what was previ-
| ousy determined upon. Mr.. Elmore will undoubt-
edly accept, according to my information.
G. J. Ingersoll, M. G., from Philadelphia, it is
if Mr. KING, who is now there, should wish to re-
| turn home. l understood, some time ago, that
Mr.. K. was very deslrous to return to the United
States and resume his seat In the Senate, and this
he will probably have an opportunity of doing, for
| imagine the State of Alabama will not consent
| to be msrepresented in the next Senate by A. P.

mitting Texas as new State into the Union, by
joint resolution, but votes to allow the President to
| do what he says is unconstitutional, and who has
no more talent or ability than will suffice to ena-
| BILE him to make speech saying he will do any
| thing rather than the act he commits directly af-
terwards or than will enable him to abuse report
ers and correspondents, using language in refer
ence to them which would be a disgrace to Bill
lingsgate ,becauseone OF them happened to make
mistake, and who is SO particularly conscientious

The Postmaster General has removed fr m his
department two clerks The one Sanders Irving,
nephew of Washington Irving, and who married
niece of Frank Granger's. and the other Jeremiah
Lathrop, about whom I.have not heard anything
worthy Of note. Both of these gentlemen were

The Postmaster General has this day returned

She had been SO long accustomed to do the same
thing, that she transferred It's hardening effect from

| He says, in effect, Congress expected you would
suffer by the operation of this b and you say that
it will be so therefore its all right, the expected
result will occur Congress has often done wrong,
therefore, it is right. The contractors don't relish
this sort of logic, and say if Cave Johnson wants

them over their (the Contractor's) backs. They
don't hold to doing things by proxy at all, and they
think Cave ought TO take his vengeance ON the OF
tenders and not on them.
The new organ is the subject Of discussion in all
circles. The impression almost universally pre-
vailng is, that it will be failure. The National
Intsuigencer of this morning tells MIR. Richie so.
Every 10 waiting IN great expectation Tor the
promised prospectus and the general impress is,
that it cannot well be shorter than Slas Wriahts
message-fourteen columns. Old Ritchie is very
prosy, and if he should succeed in producing
brief document it will be wonder, but he will
probably use cloud Of words, to hide from his
readers every thing they want to know. | suppose,
