The report contained in my letter of yesterday
respecting the nominations said to have been made
ny President Polk to the Senate, for Ministers to
England and Mexico, and for Consul to Liverpool,
is premature. The Senate was yesterday engaged
in secret session, celebrating upon some foreign
treaty,-said to be that with the Zoll verein or
German Customs Union. They did not act upon
any nominations, nor were any sent in 10 them by
the President. The rumor which was sent was
believed to be authentic, and was generally bruited
about and spoken of all over town. 1t is supposed
TO have been put into circulation by some persons
who have some end to serve thereby, or purpose to
iccomplshswhich they think this will further.
cabinet council was held yesterday. The SUBJ
ects OF elaboration not known, but il was pro-
badly to decide upon the policy to be pursued, and
the principles upon which the administration will
act, in the distribution Of Office, and other affairs
Intense interest prevails as to what will be the
course OF the administration, and every incident
which happens is taken some Indication and
great curiosity is manifested to find out if possible
what happened at the cabinet meeting In the
meantime, the fact that the Inaugural Address was
printed at the Globe office, has given rise to
world OF conjecture 1t is therefore set down that,
is the Globe was the official organ of Gen Lack
sons administration, il will be the official organ Of
Mr. Folks, and therefrom is deduced the SUPPOSE
uon that there will be restoration of the old
regime under new head-the Reinstatement of the
Bourbon dynasty, only under the lead of the young
er branch of the family So far as the Globe goes
if this be the organ" it will be restoration In
this event the MACEDONIAN must of course 60 down
ing supported by the Southern section, and the
question is, therefore, an interesting one, which
will get the Congressional printing and whether
he efforts making secure both branches of 1t for
the Globe will be successful? This estabshmenii is
rich, and has the elements of perpetui:y, which
he other two want. lite proprietors can afford to
give sumptuous dinners, generous wines, lively per-
ues to members of Congress and others,to secure
heir support, and in the result this question will
have to be settled at the polls 1t is already an ele

ala, and there Is no knowing how far il NAV
| siread, or what may be its results.
The position OF affairs here in.relation to the dis
oosal OF Offices is one of the most singular that
| ever existed. In former cases of change in the
politics of the Presidential incumbent, the "ins''
have expected to 60 " out' as matter of course,
and have, therefore, remained coolIy at home
! " in" and have focked to Washington to secure
portion of the spoils. How different now, The
g ms" want to keep Sin" and are here to esdea-
Ssr to retain their places while the
he predicament inIwhich President Polk is placed,
aud there will be the utmost uncertainty and ankle.
", until some general principal Of action is known
In the mean time there is much discussion as to
whether there will be either restoration or a
revolution" The g. outs" who were ousted un-
der Harrison, think their should be restoration
hose not belonging to these cliques think there
should be a revouton-the "ins'' think there
should not De either one or the other. The Collec-
Tor OF New York is expected to retain his position
| but there Will be powerful effort made to GUST
Col Graham from the post office, and it is expected
ne Will have to give way for some one else, but

there cannot be much known on these SUBJECTS

There is a certain political power or influence
attached to the possession of the Executive Office
which enters into the political contest as regularly
recognized agent, and which it must be perceived

weight either In favor OF one or another. II not

OF the cf,ques-if they be kept entirely of the

where, and that must naturally and inevitably be

The leaders Of the opposition here are strongly
ct opinion. that the foreign relations OF the coun-
ny will render inevitable. call for a s,ecial ses-

the result regarding Texas, new state OF affairs
~ll be produced, and strong party formed for the
purpose of making demonstration against The an
aexson OF Texas TO the United States. England,

with the United States, but will encourage and sur

tielomauc corIe here also have been and are op-

company with the wings, who are a large and pow
rtul party. and having intimate relations with the
iiplomatlsts here. These may also encourage this
party IN Mexico, and urged by all these conside-
fsuons. Mexico may declare war against the Uni
