The Rus sian Minister absent We believe
Mr.. Bodisco has never been presented to aoy Of
The Presidents upon the same day as the DINER
Ministers He, perhaps, don't like the idea Of
being out ranked
General Alvear. the Minister from the Arp.nt;n.>
Confederation, read short address to tse frs,-.
dent, the part OF the dlpom alto repre-
present, congratulatlDg him upon his install ,ton
as President, and Trusting that the good feeling
which now existed would be perpetua'ed
The President, In bret reply, thanked them tor
their courtesy, and expressed his desire tn It The
feeling OF ami'y which now happily existed might
long rem In I'm interrupted
The President was then introduced, by Gen.
Alvear, 10 the several legations When he came
to M. POuissln, the latter alluded, In a hHppv man
ner, TO the stripes OF France assmatng to those Of
America, and remarked, at the same time, that he
had had the pleasure OF seeing the General before,
when M. Peuss,n was IN the ropOgraph Corps.
The President seemed much pleased, aud said that
he had already shaken hands with him as the
French Minister, but that he must now give him an
additional welcome old friend.
The legations were then p-esen ed to the Cabi-
net, all Of whom, excepting Mr.. Crawford, were
present.
The different ministers, secretaries, &c were
all dresse IN court dress, with the except on of tho
Portuguese Minister, who was dressed IN black,
but woIe collar and cross round his neck and
the Mexican Minister and Secretary, who were
panty dressed in citizens clothes, without aoy
decorations whatever.
Heni-Three OF the Cabinet were dressed in blue
dress coats and guilt buttons.
1t IS said that the Senate committee In the
Shields case have unanimously decided adversely
to Gen. Shields. We cannot vouch for the truth
of this, and rather inclined to think 1t prema-
ture, at all events. A correspondent of the Att
more Suw states that the Senate will doubtless
come TO speedy decision in the matter, 80 as TO
permit The Legislature of Illinois, which only
NEE ts blennialy to elect some person in Shields
place, il II should turn out he IS not qualified.
This opinion may be taken 'or what it is werth.
when it is consi 1ered that the Legislature Of Ill.,
nois adjourned on the 10th OF February--more than
a month ago.
Mr.. Butterfeld, of Illinois, is spoken of in con-
nect,on with the Soic'torsh'p Of the Treasury.
now held by Mr.. Gillet, OF New York. B.
