/ have never witnessed, on The occa-
sion Of the accession of any new Admin
is,ralion. more dissatisfaction on The par,
Of the supporterssof the in comers, than
at present. Tie reason is, however,
very apparent. Many of the Wings,
who .espuused Gen. Taylor as their
candidate, did not do it very cordially,
and are theretore'rery ready TO attribute
TO his Administration all the defects
that they anticipated in 1t. Others Of
The Wings, &hoa awere more forward in
their support otaGen. Taylor, are dis.
posed 10 claim more from Gen. Taylor
than he is willing. allow; >outha, score,
all Of them, for one cause or other; are
grumbIing and dissatisfied. They are
notpleased with the apparent hesitation
Of the Administration in making remo'
vals and appointments.
The difficulty which the Whig party
finds IN tho -cnalafinfahe GgYornmegl,
when they arc in power, proceeds from
the fact that lhe'pary is composed, for
the most part, of independent men, and
that independence they wil not sacrifice
even 10 the harmony of their own party.
Every man in the Wing party is Cap.

looks, I am glad TO notice, quite we'll
and is evidently in good spirits. He

Mr.. Reynolds letter in your paper
attracts much attention here. There is
no Doubt never had any-that our
Government has lurg looked, with great
interest to The condition Of Cuba, and
have lately made some demonstrations
towards lis future acquisition by pur-
chase. If | am correctly informed, lhe
President is in favor OF the acquisition
of Cuba and of Canada also.
Ii would not be surprising,-looking
at the present and the past-if, during
the present Administration, there should
be some agitation in this country as tc
the acquisition both OF Canada and
Cuba. Already some sympatllizing and
mischievous movements as to Canada
are talked oi.n New York:
The administration after the advise
ment, have taken, it would seem, very
moderate courseof policy as TO reno
walls. II was considered that the ques
ton of Mr.. ,Hannegan's admissioaa a:
Minister to Berlin was to be the test o

decided. Of course, they can ncve
recall any man now abroad on. poli.ica
grounds. Mr.. Collamer; as Post Mas
ter General, would be willing, it is be-
licved, 10 proceed 10 make some reno
walls in Ills department, and he would bt
sustained in it by the President. Gen
Taylor will leave that department en-
tire y TO the control Of its head. Mr.
Collamer stated To-day that he shoult
make no changes TIL The thousand o
pressing applicants, and The remaining
members Of Congress, who were exert
ing their efforts to these appointments
should leave the city. We hear of nj
prescription in the public Offices in thi'
city.
MIR. Colamer has given it 10 be un
derstood that lie will remove officers wh'
have been active and Jealous as polilica
parlizans, or have neglected their duties
The same principle has, as [ learn, beeI
adopted by the other departments.
