general policy and it is natura! enough that
those who best understand his position should
have come to a conclusion as to the persons
who arc to constitute his Cabinet. suoii
These conclusions are, distinctly. that he
will take but one person from New England.
and that person Willie Mr.. Touccy, Of Conn:
that he will take no one from New York I;

As to the Southern members of the cabi-
net, it is, in the first place, to be considered
as settled, that Virginia will have a member
Of the Cabinct--either Of the Hunter or the
Wise party or some one independent Of both.
am inclined to believe that it will be Mr.
Bo :ock, who is the son-in-law of Mr.. Faulk
ner, and is preferred by the Virginia delega-
ton. Thus we have a majority Of the Cab
inet and the other three arc to be selected
| from the South and the South West. Ten
nessee is to furnish one, probably Mr. Brown,
and Georgia. another, perhaps Mr., Cobb.
The seventh man may be from Louisiana.

this country and the British pro. inces
which will, as learn, be responded to on TIN

Further, it is now proposed, in SOM
quarters, to extend the provisions of the Re
ciprocity treaty to trade between the United
States and the British West India Islands
For this measure, the British governm'n
and the local government of the islands arr
prepared. .
The planting interest Of Jamaica woult
be revived by this policy, and her product'
would soon become, under its influence, aug
mented in amount, perhaps exceeding thos'
in the year of her former prosperity. Th'
capabilities Of the island are great, and capi
tai to develop them will not be wanting
when direct and free trade with the Unitet
States shall be secured.
