1t appears from the correspondence be-
tween Gen. Oberan and the American Con-
sui to Mexico, Ottenburg, that the former
was eager to do what lay in his power to
release the American citizens from the OPP

had asked passports from Oberan.

The President and His Cabinet-Gen.

ton-Minister Adams Spoken of as
secretary of State.
The Herald's Washington special says
I am informed tonight that one cause OF
the delay on the part of the President in
removing Mr.. Stanton is disagreement
among his Cabinet members as to the pro-
priety of the step. You will remember
telegraphed last week that Messrs. Sew
ard and Weed were opposed TO the remo-
val of Stanton, and 1 have reason to be-
lieve that statement was correct. 1t is said
that Mr.. Seward has taken so decided a
stand in the matter as to have occasioned q
bad feeling in the Presidents breast. Mr..
Seward all along has been the near adviser
of the Cabinet; he has enjoyed the conf
dence of his master, and has had nearly
every thing his own way in the matter OF
appointments.
The delays and cancellations that have Sc
often disgusted the friends of the President
are supposed to have been the result of Mr.
Stewards unwise counsels. Mr.. johnson
now perhaps sees his mistake, and is anx-
| ious even at the eleventh hour to remedy
them by something like decision of char
acter and promptness of action. 1t is said
that he has resolved to request MIR. Seward
| to resign in note of somewhat equal po-
liteness and brevity to that delivered to
Mr.. Stanton. Should this be true (and
do not pretend it is, for l can't make the
statement on authority, it is believed Mr..
Adams will be called from England and
offered the portfolio of Secretary of State
| 1t is stated moreover that Mr.. Randall
| and Mr.. McCulloch are not altogether to
| be depended upon in their fidelity to the
Johnsonian policy. People say that the
former contemplates resiS SAing at an early
day and that he desires to do something g
| that will enable him to regain the conf
dence of his party. AS to Mr.. McCulloch,
| there are many rumors, one being that the
President believes his Secretary of the
Treasury has brought discredit on the ad-
ministration by appointing improper men
to office, and that his management of the
National finances has not been all that was
exl ected OF him. The rumor as to the
difficulty between the President and Mr.
McCulloch places matters at such an ex-
treme point as to mention the name of a
probable successor in the person of Moses
| TAYLOR, of New York.
1t has been stated here on very good au-
| thority that one of the reasons which actu.
ated Mr.. Stanton when he refused to resigr
at the Presidents request, is that he has re
ceived Information OF a scheme which. it L
said. is OH foot for arming military organ
izations in the late insurrectionary States
whose ultimate object is another assault
upon the Government, and he has determ
ined to remain at his post to thwart thei
designs. 1t is further said that one of tn
causes of the late rupture between tn
President and Secretary of War was tn
refusal of Secretary Stanton to assign to
militia company of Maryland, composet
mainly of returned rebel officers and sol
diers, a battery of light guns, for whicl
they had applied.
] The President is said to have directe
him to furnish the battery, but Mr.. Stanto
declined and still refuses to do so.
The Herald's Charleston special says
committee appointed at a Republica
meeting have addressed a letter to Genera
Sickles protesting against the appointmen
and retention of Ex-Governor Aiken as
register of voters, stating that in thei
opinion he is ineligible to any position {

g 1t is said Postmaster General Randall
s anxious to leave the Cabinet, and that h
!. will soon tender his resignation.
: The Herald's Washington special says
: The absorbing topic in this city is the dt
y velopment of the alleged project to manu-
]: facture evidence against the President fO
n securing his impeachment. Public opinio
}; is nearly equally divided as to the real OF
y ject of the conspiracy as well as to who a.
the real conspirators.
Many persons, principally Radicals, b.
/ lieve that the disclosures just made throug
i the application of Conover for pardon, a
$: a part of the operation of a plot betwee
,; the President and certain of his friend
=: with Durham and his satellites to create
e, revulsion of feeling in regard to impeacl
o. ment, to bring contempt upon the effor
of the leaders of that movement, and in 6
probability work very beneficially upt
as the next Presidential election.
a, They say they can't believe that poll

b. would ever be guilty of so great blund
