Many speeaiations are contained in the Eastern papers about anticipated changes in the executive cabinet at Washington. Ne see if even asserted in some, on the authority Of private let ters, that new appointments have aetn ally been made. William J Duane, of pennsy lVania, is assigned bY these ru- mors 10 the Treasury Department, and Mr. M.s.ane is said to be destined to succeed Mr. LiYIngston. who,i IS stated, is to go as minister to France. These accounts are at least premature, and perhaps are altogether unfounded.

 .4iags Tlae fiaFssasartthat William ] Duane, Esq. of Philadelphia is, or soon will be, appointed Secretary of the Treasury, is spoken of with increased confidence and appears to be uncontra- dicted.

 The United States Gazette says. Although ithas not been officially an nounced, il appears 10 be generally ui- derstood, that Af. WilIiainJ. Duane of EtAis city has been appointed Secretary lof inc Treasury, or, at least, that the oi- fee is at his refusal. We understand from a1aquestionab{e uuihorHy, that this appointment proceeded from the spon- taneous offer of the President, wholly, unsolicited on the part of Alr. Duane, of course, the more credltable to him. z

 Wepresune the cabinetappointments are usually, if not invariably, made spontaneously and without the soiicita- l ton ofihe person appointed. The Uni ted States Gazette, which, it is well known, is zealousiy opposed to General

 Jackson and his administration, speaks in terms of decided appreciation ot this selection. It says ~Mr. Duane was ono of the early and

 uniform supporters of Gen. Jackson;

 and of course amongst our political op'

 ponents. We know however, enough of his general character, 10 predict thai

 he will crediiably discharge the duties Eof his office. His talents are more solid

 than brilliant; he is of retired habits

 and in industry only equalied by n: ; great friend and patron, GERARD.

 The National Intelligeneer, aite'

 quoting this paragraph, adds

 ssFrom a personal knowledge of Mir Duane. ofmany years standing, orlsl.nat

 ing in extensive business transactlon with him, it gives us pleasure to expres our concurrence in this view ot his char acter, with the addition, that ms per

 sonal integrity and sense ot honor ars M 1, ,,af exceeded even by his personal n d dastry. We snail bbs ristf. r.s''fPf.aea 3 however, notwithstanding the greaenes 2 2 of the temptation 10 an ambitious mla' of such an offer, if he quits lals proies C sional pursuits to embrace it.-ssal Z Banner.
