Captain Tyler still figures in the councils of the

us all. He may soon, at Paris, learn the Ian

We must submit, at ell events, to the pressure

THE CABINET AND ITS TRouBLEs.-The public
for some days past have been looking with a
great deal of anxiety for Collector Bronson's
reply to recent extraordinary circular from
the Secretary of the Treasury, and also for the
reply of Mr. Lester, the London Times cores
pondent. to most awful attack which has been
recently made by tRe cabinet ar gans to destroy
his character and reputation, both in Europe
and America Mr.. Bronson ignow very much
engaged with his public duties end it may be
some days before he will be able 70 prepare his
reply in that effective manner which the gro
yelling dispatch of the Secretary of the Trea-
sury Justly demands. The London Times cor
respondent may alsc withhold hisvery interest
ing reply until such time as he can prepare his
materials, collect his curious AMI interesting
correspondence with Messrs. Gushing and Marcy,
the two cabinet ministers, arrangeihem accord
ing to dates, show them up according to the
philosophical demands of retributicn, and then
be prepared to publish them to a wondering
and astonished world.
In the meantime. we understand That some
singular and remarkable negotiations have
Just been opened, or attempted to be opened,
with the London Times correspondent in this
city. under the authority and with the advise

Cabinet-Messrs. Marcy and Cushing 1T was

John L. O'Sullivan, has been appointed local

carefulness and attention, towards TIE settle

negotiation, Gushing, it seems, st!pulates at
least in the general wreck OF the Cabinet that
he. as a private Individual simple minded

of hair is SO beautifully cut should be saved
from that wreck, and protected from the gene

success of this negotiation is with which Mr..
Mr. O'Sullivan has been charged, time will
probably reveal; but it seems that the sub

ago that Mr.. G. NJ. Sanders had been engaged
in a somewhat similar negotiation for the same
purpose; but on account Of his departure for
London, to occupy the post of Consul in that
metropolis the further prosecution of the bust

and placed in the more reliable hands, in their

John l.. O'Sullivan.
But this negotiation will not satisfy us or the
public. Mr.. Lester owes it to himself his name,

atrocious and vindictive assaults of the Cabinet

Of the Cabinet at Washington and New York.
We believe that be is capable Of defending him

with Gushing and Marcy, from frst to last, will
drive them from the Cabinet at Washington,
with shame and disgrace equal to that of Mr..
Guthrie, by his shameful and abominable mis-
