CHANGES IN WAsHINGToN.-We understand, on
reliable authority, that the Hon. r.. II. Gillet is
to receive the Solicitorship of the Treasury,
vacated by the appointment of Mr.. Barton as
Minister to Chill. We regret the loss to the De-
partment and the country of Mr.. Gillet's great
business ability Eand sound judgment, as they
have been exercised in the Office of Register.
Yet his friends must be gratiied that his eminent
legal attainments will find more appropriate
field for exercise in the office of Solicitor, where
he will again be enabled to appear at the bar,
and enter upon the legal practice so fitted to his
tastes. Mr.. Gillet is to be succeeded, we learn,
by gentleman from Tennessee named Graham.
