There was q senatorial caucus to day of the whig
friends Of the compromise The line Of 81 for New
Mexico and OF IS for California considered as the
basis OF the administration bill.
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPROMISE.
WAsHISeroS July l2, 1850.
Our information gathers strength that the Omabus
bill is to undergo i'm portant amendments-that from
the prsctcability of CALIFORNIA; bonn bold
conservative amendment is necessary to give Fillmore
nding position. welearn, therefore, that the
proprieiy of dividing California by compromise line,
is under consultation, leaving the Southern portion
for territory, and the slavery question to the peope
and to give further satisfaction that the bill Is to be
separated into two bills Such platform would raya
powerful support to the admnistrs alton. The cid
issue with the South depends upon the division OF
California and know hat the subject has been
under confederation.
1t is UNDERWOOD that the line talked Of tor Caiifor
mia IL degree and half below the Nilsson ri line; but
nothing yet agreed to by Mr. Clay, Who the head
OF the committee and the friend Of Fillmore, Is
suited by both.
Mr. Clay will be the champion Of the administration
in the Senate, and the Isgencer will probably be the
organ.
Plenty Of rumors In relation to the cabinet but
nothing will Be done till after the funeral
Gfcst confidence Is felt in Fillmores ability and dis,
erection.

bcrs To- morrow the crowd will be immense. The
politicians hourly arriving.
The most pressing and earnest efforts are being
made by Mr.. Ewing to be retained. The personal APP
pesL Of his supporters to President Fillmore the
talk and laughing stock Of the town. but he cannot
be retained. II would be invdious; besides, tho
Richsrdson committee of the House will oensure him
for his conduct than that of the Gslphins.
The general impression is that entire change in
the cabinet must and will take place. A fow only
think otherwise
The day before yesterday Mr. Seward formally called
upon Mr.. FILLMORE, and preferred bis aid In shaping
affairs He nended the retention Of the cabinet
The game Of Seward and Weed will be to fall upon
their knees and ssk pardon Of Mr. Fillmore for their
past prosecutions Of him. lie has before forgiven
much and the only fear a. that being void Of malice
he may forgive them again These tho views Of the
Wissst politicians here.
The belief u becoming general that Webster, Me-
KEENAN, and Butler King will certainly go into the
cabinet The friends of the latter have teegraphod
him at Philadelpha, to come here forthSith Inter-
ested parties attempting 20 sheckmats his appoint

Georgian will be preferred. One names Toombs, the
