FROM WARRINGTON.
General Taylors' Arrival at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Feb. "a, 1s49.
General Taylor arrived here late in the
evening, at about quarter before 8 O'Clock.
A large crowd was stationed at the railroad
depot, but most of them were disappointed
in the hope of seeing him. Among these was

the cars had fairly got in Gen. Taylor alight-
ed, and at once jumped into carriage, which
had been been provided for him. His suite
followed in other carriages, but no procession
was properly formed, though band of mu.
sic marched along the sidewalk, followed by
large concourse of people. Arrived at Will
lard's hotel, the General got on the balcony,
and. in very few Words which certainly
did not occupy him FIVE minutes, returned
thanks for the cheers, and then retired to bed

1t had been announced, in the Inte!ligenccr
of this morning, that if the General be well
enough. he would receive such ladies and
gentlemen as would be introduced to him,
but at l2 o'clock, placard was issued at the
hotel, stating that General Taylor would not
receive to-day, which had the tendency of
dispensing a very large crowd of well dres-
sed people that had collected about the pre-.
mises MIR. Clayton was sent for, or rather
waited on the General, and was with him Sc

Of the Cabinet is by that much further ad-
vanced, and have reason to judged that be-
fore the interview nothing definite had been
agreed upon. All the rumors about Cabinets
were circulated in part by gentlemen having
some reason or other for wishing this or that

am glad to see, by the last arrival from
Europe, that Sir Henry Lyt,on Bulwer is COM

well made. The United States having sent,
one after another, two literary corypheas-
Mr.. Edward Everett and Mr.. Bancroft, in

man of universal reputation, though he is moi
good match maker, as he has proved in his
own case and in Spain. He may, perhaps
improve in that respect in the U. States.
Lewis Cass, it,, is, at last gone to Rome
not to California. Wonder whether Plus lX
will be there to receive him? OBSERVER.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26,h, ls49.
Mr.. Binney is now left out of the Cabinet
combination. Though he was once strongly
pressed by General Taylor himself, but sucf
was the force of rernonstrance from all the
Pennsylvania politicians here on the spot
that have strong reason to believe he has

Mr.. Gentry, Of Tennessee, is likely to bt

of Kentucky, so as TO give Mr.. Crttenden &
chance to come into the Cabinet whenever
