NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
THOMAS EWING, OF oaro.

Our readers will have perceived, perhaps, that
we have Systematically abstaned from canvassing
the claims of the many distinguished gentlemen
from among whom the earliest official duty Of the
President Elect will be to compose his Cabinet I;
that is TO say those who are to fill the several high
Administrative Offices of Secretary of State, Secre-
tary OF the Treasury, Secretary of War, Secretary
of the Navy, Attorney General and Postmaster
General. We expect to continue so to abstain, not
being disposed, now that our candidate has been
elected by the People, to forestal his selection, ac-
cording TO the dictates of his own good judgment
of his Cabinet Ministers. That selection is mat
ter with which we, for ourselves, disclaim having
any right to interfere Were we established with
in the limits of one of the States, indeed, instead Of
in this central District we should not feel ourselves
under the same obligation of restraint; and we do
therefore by no means take exception to different
course, where it is pursued by political friends.
Their right is not TO be disputed.
We say thus much lest we might be understood,
in copying the following part of an article in late
number Of the Philadelphia North American, to
be beginning to make up Cabinet for the new
President, when our only object is to add our testi-
mony to that Of the writer to the character Of Tho
MAS EWING, and'sto the conservatism, fidelity, and
fearlessness which have ever distinguished his pub
lie life.

TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.
SUMMARY


The recent momentous intellige from Eu-
rope has SO entirely absorbed public attention,
that the passing events in our own country have
excited but little curiosity since Its reception
A late arrival at New Orleans brings advices
from the city of Mexico to the llth inst. ana
from Vera Cruz to the 18th. revolution had
occurred in one of the States, against the go
vernment and in favor of Santa Anna. The
latter had asked and obtained leave from Gen.
Twiggs to pass through Vera Cruz 1t would
appear from this, that the report that Santa Anna
was organizing fresh forces, was incorrect, ana
that he was sincere the desire he has expressed
to leave tho country. Gen. Lane has returned
to the United States.
The business of Congress, yesterday, was
varied and interesting. In the Senate, Mr..
Allen introduced resolutions expressing sentl-
ments of sympathy and afhliation with France
in the new position she has assumed. The reso-
lltions were unanimously received and ordered
to be printed. The bill relative to the claims of
citizens of California, was further discussed.
A bill concerning bounty land claims, reversing
the decision of the commissioner of patents in
regard to the existing law on the subject. was
introduced; as was also the House bill relating
to improvements in the Hudson and Savannah
rivers, SC. In the House, the contested election
between Messrs Jackson and Monroe, was the
subject of some little animadversion. A f.w
political speeches on the bill refundlng certain
expenses incurred in raising volunteers, con
cluded the days proceedings in the popular
branch of the national legislature.
The peoples representatives at Albany, trans
acted their usual amount of business. yesterday
for the particulars of which. together with
