"iMPoRTANT, IF E."-I'his is the man ner in which the New York Tribune in- troduces the following paragraph from the Gazeae' of Tuesday evening

 "GentIemen from Washington state with confidence that Hon. James Buchanan has resigned the Seclaryship of State, and that the President has selected Andrew Steven son, of Virginia, to fill the place. DiAeren- ces of opinion as to the Oregon negotiation have induced this step on the part of Mr. Buchanan.

 IL is astonishing how any sgsatiemenn can state with ''conlidence" a report which is so utterly destitute of any foundation. What can be the motive for such gratutous fab rieation What other purpose can 1t answer than first 10 scatter, for few days, a report that is calculated to agitate the public mind, and to cast an air of instability over the ad- and then. when the report is exposed, to shake the confidence of the pub lie in every rumor that emanates from Wash ington? No such report as the above has ever circulated in this city of rumors. There is not shadow of truth in it. Mir BHch- anan has not resigned, nor has he talked ol thought of resigning; nor has any member of the cabinet The reason assigned, too for his resignation, is as fabulous as the re- port itself. There is no difference of opin- ion in the cabinet on the Oregon question There never was q more harmonious cabinet and there is as iittle variety of opinion or all the great questions which came before the present cabinet, as in any of it's prede- cessors. We are fully warranted in making this statement in the most authentic and au- thoritatiye manner.
