understand that the President some days ago,
made tender of the post of Ambassador to Eng
land to Mr. Pickens, of South Carolina, as | in
formed you it was rumored he would. Mr.. Pick
ems will very probably accept, though have good
to believe that if he should by any possible
contingency decline the appointment, 1t would be
again offered TO Mr. Calhoun, who Is certainly the
best qualified man for the position.
There IS, believe, a very warlike feeling IN the
Cabinet, The President and his Cabinet are un.
doubtedIy determined to maintain the high ground
they have taken, and which has been hitherto
maintained by this country. Mr.. Buchanan is said
to be framing an elaborate and forcible restate-
ment OF the American title, in which the tone OF
the inaugural will be fully maintained, and below
which none Tor an instant thinks of going. Mr..
Bancroft, too, IS making every necessary prepora-
ton tor the most vigorous measures in the Gulf OF
BILE naval force, and the administration mean to
cure Texas too. They have no idea that Great
Britain, through Mexico, or by her diplomacy, is
going to prevent the contamination of the great
measure of annexation; and Mr.. Ashbel Smith
may find before his return from England, that he is
no longer Secretary OF State OF the Republic OF
Texas nor Mr. Arson Jones its President, and
Mexico will discover that lead is heavier, Gf not
SO valuable) than gold, and that war is game at
which she will inevitably be beaten, and by which
she will probably hasten the annexation OF Cali
fornla.

ceive on Monday stopped its Issue, and promised
to resume on Thursday tomorrow with new
type. do not exactly understand the necessity
for stopping the publication before the arrival Of

The Globe this evening doffs its name, and as
sumes its new title of the Union, under charge OF
the regular organ-grnders. ! learn that the pros
pectus written by Mr.. Richie, though not exactly
as long as Silas Wrght's message, is long enough
in all conscisnce-and, what appears rather queer,
this prospectus is being printed at Mr.. Gideon's,
swing . job printer Of this city, and the man who
endorsed Willis Green's note for $5 600, where
with to pay the bet he lost to Mr.. Profit, of Indi-
Of Washington, Of which said Mr.. Gideon is
Director. Why the prospectus was printed there
| is matter OF great speculation,

sibly, on Reuben M. Whitney speculation, re-
speeding deposites, &c, has brought on here some
gentlemen to look after the said deposites-amopg
others. Mr.. Newbold, of the Bank OF America in
New York. How does the pet-bank system an
swer in New York! There is a rumor here that If
| a Secretary of the Treasury wants eight or ten
thousand dollars, all he has TO do is to deposte
81 100000 of the public funds with Messrs. Cor
coran Riggs, and they will cash his note, without
endorsement, for $4,000, without the least heslta
ton Such is said TO have been their custom here
tofore. Whether it will be hereafter-mous ver-
