purpor' TO be sent by telegraph or Otherwise from
this city in relation TO the President and the Ifsr

assurance Of reliable authority, that we deem
proPerlo say that il is without the slis founda-
lion in truth. Such an idea was never entertained
for one moment either by the President or The Sec

which have gained circulation within The last eigh-
teen months with regard TO contemplated changes
in the cabinet, and all rumors of dissensions be-
tween lis different members, or between any one
of them and the President, are each and all abso
Iuely and entirely groundless.
