Mr.. Buchanan having officially notified the President
Of his intention of returning home in the spring, Mr.
Marcy is to 60 to England Minister This wi OF course
dispose also OF Mr.. Sckes. Mr. Mason who is very de-
sirous of being recalled from France win probably be
offered seat in the Cabinet though this il uncertain
Having determined upon reconstruction Of his Cabi
net the President will also make entire change IN the
foreign appointments, recalling Soule Belmont Seymour
&C. 1t Is believed that the amount OF patronage which
he will thus have at his disposal may prove sufcient to
give the administration full power in Congress- At all
events the experiment will be tried and has been agreed
upon to the extent have above stated.
THE RETURN OF MR. BUCHANAN-HIs OPINION OF THE
ADMINISTRATIONS SECRETARY sICKLEs-MR. GUrH.
RE AND THE REVISION OF THE TARIFF-THE PRE-
sIDENT's MEssAGE-PROPOsED INCREASE OF TIE
ARMY, ETC., ETC.
Letters have been received here from Mr.. Buchanan,
stating that he has fixed the day Of his departure from
England early next spring He is evidently dissatisfied
with his position and the treatment he has met with at
the hands of the Cabinet and home to await his
destiny and another Baltimore Convention in the hope
of yet being a resident in the White House.
Mr. Buchanan complains bitterly of the mistake as he
terms IT, committed by Marcy In negotiating the Reel
procy Treaty without at the time having adjusted
the Central American question He accepted the mis-
sion with the understanding that he to have
the negotiation OF all the pending questions be-
tween England and the United States. He now finds
that by the ratification of the Reciprocity Treaty Eng
land has gained all she required and he writes to the
Department that he make no progress what
ever in the adjustment of the Central America question:
a separate matter-England having nothing to gain
by it, Had the questions been connected he contends
that the anxiety Of the British to obtain ad
mission to markets for her coonists would have
induced her gladly to have abandoned all pretensons in
Central America In the opinion therefore, of Mr. Bu
chanan the only diplomatic achievement of the present
administration has been gross blunder abandoning
all advantages and compcating, it may be- in the
future enuncstion Of the Monroe doctrine, whe 1t
may Of the that should be enforced
Having committed himself to the immediate annexa-
ton Of Cuba, by force money 10 the first despatch
transmitted to Washington the result of the confer
ence at Ostend, Mr.. Buchanan thinks he has done
enough to enlist the gratitude of the progressves and
that it viii be good plank for his friends to in
structng his platform for the Presidency There is
doubt Monsieur Soue induced the Sage Of Lancaster
take this step and Marcy, who has idea Of fbus-
fhod damn
Frenchman who is stirring up all the fuss"
But Mr.. Buchanan is also in trouble about his Secreta
ry. He declares that tie abors Of the legation
sbly increased by the un6tness of Mr.. Sicess, who
I" cannot even write legible hand.' He deprecates
his controversy with Peabody and excams, in the Bit
terness Of his heart that he feels worried to death by
the deceit Of the Cabinet and the fantastic antics of his
Secretary and headed by the inevitable George
Sanders.
Mr.. Guthrie is busily engaged in getting up of
statistics, with view Of urging upon Congress
al of his recommendations for modification of the tariff
He might as well himself the trouble The Com
mtee Of Ways and Means last session repudiated Mr..
Guthries views and kicked the bill which he drafted
under the table. They then set to work and Matched
chicken OF their in the shape of bill increasing
the free list, &C., and which published in the
HERALD at the time This bill is In its proper place on
the calendar, and will up next session. Guthres
recommendation to the contrary notwithstanding. The
probability Is that nothing viii be DONE
The great hobby Of the administration. is
to be /" economy" That is, whilst the tariff
will remain as high il is now, the Cabinet
will endeavor TO ruin the country by keeping all the
specie locked up except much Of it as may be neces
sary for sssterlings'
The President win send two messages to Congress: one
upon general subjects, and the other devoted to
defence of his vote Of the River and Hnrbor bill.
1t is said that Secretary Of War Davis who sig
nay defeated in his attempts last session TO prevail upon
Congress not to restore the superintendent of the
national armories TO civilians, win recommend mate
rial increase to the army to add dignity to his
department is not very likely that Congress will be
induced to minister to his wants In this respect any
more than it forced into compliance with his
wishes last session.
We sorry to have record another failure on the
part Of the kitchen and up stairs cabinets to bring
about understanding between the administration and
the democratic members of Congress- to have mat
tiers SO smoothly next session The idea was to drop
Nebraska as test OF democracy" as the Union has
it, and having botedout the old record to begin again
with the administration the head Of the united demo-
cracy Senator Bright, of Indiana (what does he want
was to be one Of the principal in this plan, and
IL arranged that he should inaugurste the mil
lennium by speech somewhere in Virgins. Upon mc-
ture reflection however, it decided that the attempt
would be hazardous, and 1t has consequently been aban
doned II win be remembered that the administration
attempted to whip the refractory members last session
into the traces. The result is known; and the Cabi
net, finding themselves in trouble willing to take
back the stray sheep. But they wont 60 back.
