1t was supposed that the prolonged
sitting of the cabinet held Yesterday, had
some reference to the diplomatic appoint
ments, but no results have been anounc-
cd. The foreign appointments will be
made to take effect on the first July, the
beginning of the fiscal year, Some of
the appointments, for this city, will be
made from the first of June.
1t is very evident, from the advices
which we are daily receiving from officers
connected with the revenue, that the
wings are to be admitted into fair parti-
cipation in them. Among the custom
house officers retained in N. Orleans, is
Mr.. N. ID, Rind, brother of well known
Taylor whig in this city, and Mr.. Sire,
then, brother of the editor of the "Na,
tional Wing. /" of this city.
Some of Mr.. Secretary Clayton's friends
say that there is no foundation for the ru-
NOR that he wishes to go abroad, or will
go abroad He came here to be Secre-
tary of State, for no less time than four
years, and probably for eight years.
The Cabinet certainly possesses a con-
siderable influence than any Cabi-
net ever did before. They take vote in
the Cabmetmeetmg, on all prominent ap-
pointments and removals, and Gen. Tay-
lor, as President, has vote--but, as it
would seem, does not overrule any decis-
ion made by the majority of the Cabinet
The probability that the Taylor demo
Gratis of the South, ofwhom Mr.. Holmes,
ofgSoutf- Carolina now on a visit here, is
one, will hold the balance of power be-
tween the wings and democrats, in the
next House, is much increasing. j have
no doubt that the four democratic free
soilers viii act with the democratic party.
All the freesoil wings cannot be expected
to cooperate with the whig party. The
Taylor democrats, Of whom there are
three from South Carolina, may control
the election Of Speaker, and also all the
leading measures of the session.
: do not believe that General Taylor
himself cares a buttonwhether the House
be whig or democratic, and | am quite
sure that, inasmucb as the Senate is demo
cratic, he may not wish the democrats to
assume the responsibility of measures in
the House also reserSing, of course a
veto for measures of faction and mischief.

BY the scir. Home, Capt. Oliver, ar

place she left on the 10th inst, we have
received a copy Of La Espana Of the 1st,

The news they contain cannot be consid-
cred important, although they contain
some items. 4
ION the 18th Of April the Mexican
boundary commission left the Capital
for Topic. They were to embark at Te.
pic sometime during the last Of April, So
as.to be at San Diego before May 81.
The government has given them supplies
for year, which is the length of time
supposed to be required for tracing the
boundary line. Great confidence is ex.
pressedin their ability. The commission
has an escort OF $50 men, the same num-
Der with which our commission is proyi-

The Indian insurrection has not been
crushed, but, on the contrary, is carried
