TRICKS DISCLOSED.

has recently published q series Of letters, writ
ten to him from Washington during last spring
and summer, disclosing the policy of TaylOr's
administration and giving the substance of vari-
Gus interviews with the Cabinet. 1t produces
some stir among the official gentlemen, and the
only satisfaction they have is in denouncing Ben
nett as 4 befrdyer of confidence and a base riola-
for of pledges. A certain George W.. Brega,
avows himself the writer Of the letters, but de-
cLares they were not for publication, but written
under the most solemn pledge of confidence
He also charges that Bennett has added to them
and perverted their meaning. A correspondent
ofthe St. Louis Republican says, that ''the course
which the Herald has pursued for some time
so completely disguised Mr.. Brega that he
refused, some time since, to continue his cores
pondence, and hence the maievolence Of Bennett
in violating his pledge and publishing his prirate
letters, (full of interpretations and additions writ
ten by himself) for the double purpose of iiniur-
ing The administration and endeatoring TO ruin
Mr.. Brega." pc. -.a ,s-
There is certainly great distrust and want Of
confidence in the wing ranks, when their lead
turn treacherous to each other and publish all
he secrets they know because they can't know
more. But from this thing we learn an impor-
ant fact that no one, perhaps, had any idea Of
that TaylOr's administration have at least
been thinking Of pursuing a settled policy, and!

The Washington correspondent of the Mis-

u Much sensation has been produced inl
France, by the bold act of Louis Napoleon in
lissOlving his cabinet and forming a new one.--I
The President communicated his intentions TO the
Assembly in a letter Of a strong and determined
saracter, in which he pufs himself, as some 9TH

o themselves, and that their possession of pow

u" Since the election of Gen. Taylor, we can
ut wonder at the remarkable change that has
ONE over the dream ofthe country. With over
Vhelming majorities the wings triumphed in
tales from which the voice of hope could not
easonably have cheered their efforts. The
House Of Representatives was largely WING, and
he President sustained by the animatihg conf
lence of the people, fully manifested in his fri
election over one Of the purest and bSst
nen Of The nation. He commenced his admins
ration under the most favorable auspicies, and
ad only to redeem his pledges to the people toI
id to his own renown and strengthen the gen.
rous confidence of his fellow-citizens. But
hat confidence has been forfeited, and a great
hange has been brought about. Since the 4th
f March, elections have been held in almost
very State, the people have spoken out, whigI,
have vanished, and left a condemna-
ion upon their own acts and measures.
Upon this subject, we find the following re-
