COMMUNICATED. « Mr. Printer : The excursion of a Steam Moat on the Savannah river on Sunday last $ fcas been made the subject of animadversion. ' and it is to be hoped that sucli a glaring in- * traction o( order and decorum will nut again * be witnessed by the good people of this • city ; or, if it should, that the Police Offi cers will perform their duty and take Cap- 1 tain, Crew, Boat and all before some Ma- !■ gistiate, that they may each and every one ' ot them be punished, and the example ' spread far and wide to the terror of evil-do- a ers. But my chief intention in making this I communication, Mr. Printer, is to point out c to our officers and Editors, cases of equal magnitude and mischief, which occur every a Sunday, and are entirely overlooked.--- f Would you believe it—there ar e-excursions ‘ continually making through our streets on £ Sabbath evenings, anti for ought we know, ‘ throughout the whole day, without so much ' as attracting the notice of a Marshal or Con- 1 stable P Here dasties a gig with two gentle men taking the air-—there drives another ’ with a gentleman ami a lady, conversing ’ perhaps, about any thing but a serious sub- * ject---licre passes a carriage whose horsesi* have known no rest for a week, full of gay|* citizens—-there a party of gentlemen arid ladies are making an excursion on foot, and ! chattering vainly and loudly. I say noth-1 1 ing of the people of colour lounging and ' promenading through the streets all day 1 lonx, or of those who comfort themselves “ w 'th a drop,” in some secluded shop or alley- 1 Now do we not “ strain at a gnat and 1 swallow camels,” when we revile Steam ! jioat excursions alone, and suffer those I have mentioned, to go unnoticed ? Mr. 1 Printer, let us have the rule wholly and im 1 partially applied ; let the Police be so or ganized and empowered as to put down the evil altogether. Let every Gig, or Bar ouche, Coachee, or Carriage, man, woman, or child, found in the streets on Sunday, and not actually engaged in some work of char ity u»r necessity, be seized and delivered over to justice. Let the officers release all horses from the harness and saddle, that they may enjoy that rest required by the commandment. Let our good people walk to Church, that coachmen and footmen ma y do no manner of work,” arid let cooks, scullions and house servants be re leased from their labours, on the same prin ciple. When we have thus regula ed our own manners, and the Sabbath is kept holy in our streets and our houses, let us then turn an undivided attention to the Steam Boats and require them oho to be “ r Only free From hours of prayer, for hours of Chnn'y , S'trh as the Jews from servile toil releas'd Where works of mercy were a part, of rest.” ADAM. —QO© — THE CABINET, Extract nf a Idler fra n Washington . February 25. The following is to be the new Cabinet : “ Henry Clay, Scn'yof Slate. “ Richard Rush, Sec'y of the Treasury. “ James Barbour, Secretary oj War, “ Saurl L. Southard, Sec’y of the Navy.” It is presumed, that such is the cast of the new Cabinet—Mr. Bush, our present min ister, to London, being in place of Mr. Cheves, as was stated in our last.—lt is a subject of regret that Mr. Cheves is not in the Cabinet; for, he is an able man and un experienced financier. This is the feature, which strikes us at once, in the Composition of the Cabinet— that with the exception of Mr. Southard, not one of its members has presided over any of ” the high executive offices of the U. S. go vernment; and not one of them has been employed in a diplomatic capaci y, with the exception of Mr. Hush, and if you please, Mr. Clay’s short campaign at Ghent.— The ' inujst distinguished of them are better qual ified by their experience to shine in a public assembly, than in an Executive Cabinet. It suggests too another remark ; that these ' broad-bottomed administrations are not al- I ways trie strongest. Sucli different elements f do not universally cohere and harmonize* together. Is not the present too much like* the cabinet spoken of by Edmund Burke, a < mere “ piece of Mosaic ; here a bit of I lack- ! stone, and there a bit of while f” Mr. Southard has been a Colleague of I Mr. Adams —we presume, he knows him * well; preferred him, we suspect,as the can- s didate for the chair, and in all probability, 1 gives him his confidence. < Mr. Rush has been out of the country du- 1 ring the canvass for the Presidency ; —ami has4ew feelings, probably, on one side or the other. i Os Mr. Clay’s acceptance, we have alrea- j dy taKen the liberty of speaking. He will ( be the only member of the Cabinet, who as | sisied by his vote to elect Mr. Adams ; and on this account, on account of the singula’ly | great support that he gave Mr. Adams ; and j u on account of his personal objections to the*" Presidentelect, we are sorry to see him at j this time transferred to the Cabinet—and j from a sphere too, in which he was so emi nentlv destined to shine. t ”, Oi all tin* members of the Cabinet, Mr.-j BnrioUr i- in >st particularly well known to | us. U’e fear that lie ha* not sufficienth , estimated all the diffi allies widen he will p have to encounter in toe Dep ii tment of VV..r W e could ha e wished on on another ac count that Mr. B. had for the present kepi himself alool from the Cabinet of Mr. A.— Mr. V. was not Mr. IV’s clj .ice, Iti -> princi ples in .y not be such as Mr. it. mav relUh t in practice —Ins administration may not hew sucli, as to command the confidence of.i James Barbour. Is it not better, then, forji gentlemen who have thought and ac ted like, < Mr.,B. to wait and see the'course which is i about to be steered ? If it be right; if con ducive to thg best interests of his country, I it will be time enough for Mr. B. to associ ate his fortunes, and principles with those of Mr. A. and give his administration his best support. If, of an opposite description, is U not better to reserve himself, along with those who have co-operated with him, and combine their energies for arresting the progress of measures detrimental to their ? country ? - t There is yet great scope in the power of j appointing to foreign missions—Mr. Rush i returns from Loiulon---Mr. Middleton from St. Petersburg—Mr. Nelson from Madrid at trie end of his two years ; perhaps in May or June next. I hen, there are Mexico and Buenos Ayres. And. if the Alexandria Herald be correct (and we had heard such I whispers before) of the Chief Justice resign ing at the expiration of the present court, * there is a seat on the bench ot the Supreme i Court to be filled. There are empty offices 1 enough ; and no lack of candidates, we pi e- i some, to fill them. A writer in the last 1 National Journal gives a liule “ Caveat” on this subject, and does not altogether rel ish the idea that “ Mr. Adams would, at least ought, forget Ids triends to conciliate his opponents.” He does not believe it will be done: 1 “ Mr. Adams (says he) knows too well the history ot his country, not to have learn ed that such a course must weaken, per haps fatally weaken, any administration. L'he secret of the strength of Mr. Jeffer son’s administration, was the support he gave his friends. Hence their zeal and firmness in maintaining him and his mea sures. Mr. Adam's friends throughout the Union require a similar course of policy. Even in New England, where they have had to contend against a small but desperate and active opposition, they must be sus tained.” [Richmond Enquirer. Washington, February 28. PRESENTATION OF THE MEDALS. Agreeably to appointment, and in obe dience to the resolutions of Congress the President of the U. S. on Saturday last, presented, to the Gen. Officers named be low, the Medals voted to them by Resolu tions of Congress, passed in the years 1814 and 1818, for gallantry and good conduct, in the battles ot Chippewa, Niagara Erie, Plattsburg, and the Thames, in Upper Cana da, during the late war with Great Britain. The delivery of the Medals took | lace, at the Mansion of the President, in the pre sence ot the Seu .-fary of \Var, and of the Navy, several Members of Congress, Mili tary Officers, and many citizens, who at * ended to witness the ceremony. The following are the officers to whom Medals were delivered : Major General Brows, Major General core, Major General Macomb, Major General ITrrisos, Major General Gaines, (through lion. Mr. Houston.) Major General P. B. Pouter, (through lion. Mr. Marvin.) Brigadier General Miller, (through Hon. Mr. Webster.) The President accompanied the delivery of each Medal with an appropriate address, which, with the respective replies, we ex pect tube enabled to publish in our next pa per. The ceremony was full of interest, as it was associated with the recollection of j some cf the most brilliant events of trie late 1 war. It is matter of regret that Geneial Gaines,! who is in the city, was prevented by indis position from attending and receiving his medal in person.
