WASHINGTON, Friday Morning.
July IL, 1850.
Ny DEAR SIR You will hear various ru-
mOrs, respecting appointments to the cabinet,
but none of them will deserve credit, any further
than they rest on general probability Nothing
is decided, as yet. The present cabinet have all
rendered their designations, but they will not be
answered till after the funeral
The three important Departments are State
Treasury, Interior. ] have no doubt some man
known to be thoroughly sound on revenue mat
tiers will be appointed to the Treasury. AS to
the State Department have no idea who will
have it, although, if the power were with me,
think could find man, without going ont OF
Massachusetts, who has talent enough, and
knowledge enough, but whether he is, at this
moment, SO fresh in the minds of the people,
that his appointment would strike the pub lie
mind favorably, may be doubt
Nobody can well be Secretary of State, who
has not fortune, unless he be bachelor The
Secretary of the State is at the head of the all
ministration, and he must have house, some
times to receive guests in. He is of course
necessarily in daily communication with the d.
plomatic corps, which believe is twice as nu-
merous, now, as it was twenty years ago.
My dear sir, you see the spirit of good will
which is manifesting itself here. This is the
golden opportunity, be assured.
The opposition gentlemen are determined, all
the conservative part of them at least, to give
the administration fair play. Mr.. Fillmore is
well ntentioned, and discreet. He wi meet
with annoyances from the rather overbearing
spirit Of certain quarter, but hope he will
stand stiff If he is successful in formi ng his
administration, verify believe prospect is be-
fore us for a better state of things than W have
enjoyed for twenty years. Yours truly,
DANIEL WEBSTER.
Mr.. HAVEN.
