Resignation Of Mr. Clayfon-Mr. BarrinEcr-
The Cnban Question, &c. &c.

wAsHScroS, Monday, July Is.
Noticing positive assertion by one of the eorre-
spondents in the Baltimore Sun Of this morning.
denying that Mr.. CLAYTON had rendered his resig-
nation to the late lamented Gen. TAYLOR, a gentle
man personally conversant with the whole facts.
and Who read the letter Of Mr.. CLAYTON, authorizes
me TO state that the entire statement Of the Suns
correspondent is without the shadow Of truth 10
Justify it, It IS true that Mr. CLAYTON resigned
some four or five weeks since and 1t is also equally
tue that Gen. TAYLOR peremptorily refused to list
en- 20 Mr. CLAYToNs Withdrawing from the Cab
met Any man who states 10 the contrary gives
utterance % an unqualified untruth. l suppose
there are fifty gentlemen in this city who can coz
roborste this statement If necessary. Whether
Mr.. CLAYTON is invited to retain his place in tbs
Cabinet by Mr.. FILLMORE, is matter which con-
Germs him but little. nder no circumstances would
he remain longer than at the end OF this session OF
Congress- and then more In asplrt OF accommoda-
ton than from any qualification or desire on his
part.
character that in the least changes our relations
with Spain nor il there the slightest apprehension
but what the whole Cuban difficulty will be speed
lily and honorably adjusted. The story which il 50
freely circulating about Mr. BARRISGER, our Minis-
ter to Spain having been nsulted, &C., is made up
out Of whole cloth; there is neither word of truth
in it, Dorany thing that would justify statement OF
the kind The war breeders consequently, will
have to seek some other cause Of quarrel with
Spain, than the manufactured attack upon our Min
lister at Madrid which is being greediy devour-
ed by portion OF the press give this denial also
upon the authority Of one who is in the possession
Of all the facts in the case.
la regard to the Message upon the subject o
New Mexico and Texas, that was in the course OF
preparation when Gen. TAYLOR was stricken down
with disease, it is mistake that II is TO DO found
in the State Department. 1t was not in course Of
preparation there nor had Mr. CLAYTON any thing
to DO with its construction, as far as it had been
prepared. | learn that Mr. EWING. the Secretary
Of the Interior had the matter in hand, and IL 10
with the Department Of the Interior, and not tho
State Department, where the Embryo Of that i'm
portant State paper exists. To no ADLER hands
could its preparation have been confded and it,
tone would not have been Of doubtful or eqqivoca
character. Its main features, | am told, was
agreed upon by majority, not the whole Of the
Cabinet; and had il been completed and trans
mitteA TO Congress, it would have been made tho
occasion for the resignation OF several OF the pres
ent ncumbeDts who were opposed, and whose
local positions would not have sustained their going
for it. Under any given circumstances then what.
ever, before the close Of this month, there would
have been a reorganiza alton Of the Cabinet even
had Gen TAYLOR lived This may account for the
Hon joins BELL giving out in advance what vas
70 be the policy OF the late Administration upon the
question OF the admission OF New Mexico a. q
State and his avowing detern alton 10 sustain
them in that policy, when taken. There II no
room for question but what he would have gone
into the Cabinet, upon the first change made oy
Gen. TAYLOR.
