RuMoRED CHANGE OF CABINET.-We copy
below a dispatch to the ". Y. Tribune, re-
specting change in the Cabinet. However
desirable such thing would be it is about
as improbable as that the Administration
itself will close up his affairs and go out =
WASHINGTON. Nov. 20.-8 P. MI am
enabled to state upon unquestionable authori.
ty that the President has determined upon
reconstruction of the Cabinet as soon after
the meeting of Congress as possible, say about
the middle of January. Mr.. Marcy will re.
sign, and Messrs. Campbell and Guthrie will
60 out. Mr.. Breckenridge, Of Kentucky,
will be made Attorney General, and Mr. Oush.
ing will take the State Department. Mr..
Dobbin will be transferred to the Treasury
Department. Tho other positions have not
yet been determined upon. dr. Buchanan
having officially notified the President of his
intention of returning home in the spring Mr..
Marcy is to 60 to England as Minister. This
will, Of course, dispose also of Mr.. Sickes.
Mr.. Mason who is DESTROYS of being recalled
from France, will probably be offered seat in
the Cabinet, though this is uncertain. Hav.
ing determined upon reconstruction of his
Cabinet, the President will also make an en-
tire change in the foreign appointments re-
calling Soule, Belmont, Seymour, &c. 1t is
believed that the amount Of patronage which
he will thus have at his disposal, may prove
sufficient to give the Administration full pow
er in Congress AT all events, the experiment
wiz be tried, and has been agreed upon to the
extent | have above stated.
