Executive MANSION, WAsHrNGroN.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, w AsHiNGToN,
Monday Morning, October 25, 1852.
GENTLEMEN: The painful intelligence received yes
terday enforces upon me the sad duty of announcing
to the executive departments the death of the Sece-
ary of State. Daniel Webster died at Marshfeld, in
Massachusetts, Sunday, the 24th of October, be-
tween two and three o'clock in the morning.
Whilst this irreparable loss brings its natural
row to every American heart, and will be heard far
beyond our borders with mournfu respect, wherever
civilization has nurtured men who find in transcendant
Intellect and faithful, patriotic service theme for
praise, it will visit with still more poignant emotion
his colleagues in the administration, with whom his
relations have been so intimate and so cordial.
The fame of our illustrious statesman belongs to
his county-the admiration of it to the world. The
record of his wisdom will inform future generations,
less than its has enlightened the pres
ent. He has bequeshed postery the richest fruits
of the experience and judgment of great mind, con-
with the greatest national concerns. In these
his memory will endure as long our country shall
continue to BIO the home and guardian of freemen.
The people will share with the executive depart
ments in the common grief which bewails his depar-
ture from amongst US.
ing event, The executive departments of the govern
ment will be careful TO manifest every observance of
honor which custom has established appropriate to
the memory of one so eminent as public functiona-
ry, and so distinguished as citizen.
The Acting Secretary of State will communicate
this sad intelligence to the diplomatic corps near this
government and through our ministers abroad to for
eign governments.
The members of the cabinet requested fur
Their testimony of respect for the deceased the
usual badges of mourning for thirty days.
l am, gentlemen, your oSedient servant,
WILLARD FILLMORE.
To the Acting Secretary of State, and the Secretaries
of the Treasury, Interior, War, Navy, the Attor-
ney General and Postmaster General.
In pursuance of the order contained in the above
letter orders issued by the several heads of de-
partments that the different bureaus thereof should
be closed for the day. The Department of State
was directed to be hung in mourning, and it was
recommended the various officers of that de-
partment to wear the usual badge of mourning for
thirty days. We understand that the Secretaries
