 Without wasting time in recapitulating the enormous suggestions of the Journal of Commerce, the Baltimore Patriot, and sundry other journals, on the subject of the cabinet, l must ask your indulgence while repeat the substance of statement made by me in a communication, some weeks since. am right Hir. Forsyth. though under the ban of the present Executive council, and not in the best odour with the President himself, has not, as the ssPatriot' intimates, resigned the seals of the State Department, but most probably sgnifed his intention to do so at an early period of the next session of Congress. His req scas fer this delay are perfectly ohgiens. Elections of the utmost importance are to be decided in the middle, southern and western States, the result of which must ef'eetually settle the question between MT. Van Buren and Judge White. Moreover, the Secretary desires to figure in diplo- matic station abroad, and to secure this distinction, he gracefully bends to the wish es and necessities of the Vice President. Mr. Livingston will hardly resume the pre- miersbip If you will allow the State De- partment the honor;) the post will be occu- pied by Woodbury, Stevenson, or Riyes, most probably by Woodbury--yet there is a rumor, l confess, somewhat imposing. which reserves the dignity for the rejected Envoy he may possibly supply the va cant chair in the Treasury Department.

 The clamorous contentious among the delegates Of sshlie late Baltimore caucus, for the office of the land commissioner, have caused the President to select suc- cessor to Mir. Hayward from another quar- ter Mir. Dickens, chief clerk in the state department, will as 1 am informed, be pro- noted to the place on Monday next, ut which time the resignation of the present incumbent is to take effect. Mir. Dickens is an old political associate of the vlce-pre- sident, and zealousIy embarked with him in the support of Wm. H. Crawford for the presidency i'll '2s, against the present executive.
