THE CABINET.
Siofie Our last, we have received tlie views of tbe lead
ing journals of the Union, in relation to the extraordinary
dissolution of the late Cabinet. The general impression
seems to be, that Mr. Van Boren and M«yor Eaton have
been “crushed” by public opinion. Various conjectures
have been hazarded as to tbe chief motives which have in*
flucnced tue parties concerned, and it is probable that
most, if not all that could possibly have had an effect, have
been suggested. From all that has been said, we are on
ly surprised that Mr. Van Buren’s retreat, precipitate as it
has been, was not sooner made. Charged with the whole
burden of our foreign relations, involving at this period
matters of the highest moment—perplexed in the distribu*

reviews the exertions of the Ex-Secretary to defeat the

riod of the late War. He notices also the inconsistencies
of his political eareer, more particularly in the case of his
:esuisiical support of De Witt Clinton in 1812, and his
bitter animosity to that great man ever afterward*;—and
concludes as follows:
“Is this the man who deserves to wear the attributes of

when such men come before us and challenge our applause.
We are gratified that General Jackson is rid ol this man.
Fears are entertained thal he will still exert a ‘power be

From the Planter's (Ma.) Gazette.
Annexed to this, will be found the response of Mr.
Walker, of the Tuscaloosa Inquirer, to the following que
ry pronounced to him by 'he editor of the State luteili-
srencer:
“Should Mr. Calhoun be brought out for the Presiden
cy, which will the Tuscaloosa Inquirer support, Mr. Cal
houn or President Jackson.”
We have with more than ordinary c?re, examined (he
above interrogatory, <nd are somewhat at a loss to divine
the motive tha‘ prompt- <J the inquiry. After serious re
flection, the only rational upinion that wr can form in re-
ation lo it, is, that lie has l*iel% received instructions from
the American “Polignac” himself or some of his subal
terns. To the unprejudiced rftind, recent circumstance i

conclusion. Vie* ihe course of the Van Buren editors

And with what view? Because they desire, if possible,
to divide tb“ re ublican party, and to build up the popu-
Jiruy of Van Buren, upon the downfall of Mr. CMhoun.
In their xeal to subserve their leader, have they not done
every thing in their power to wound the feelings of an
hunorabb man? Ces'amly they hare We"regret the
i!-iinred altercation ' bich has taken place between tlie
first und second • ffieers of tire Government. With them
-.e hope it may prove a temporary misunderstanding.—
I* should produce no disc ed among their real friends.—
The n .mes of Jackson and Calhoun have lung since been
as-ociat- d together, in the affections of their countrymen,
and legibly engraved on “Farm’s proud steeple.” After
» few preliminary remarks, the edi’orof the Inquirer con
cludes bis answer m lire following lunguag. ;
“Between Gen. Jackson and Mr Calhoun there is a
p isona! an>! private bus ility recently generated; they
iiave inflicted one upon tlie other, wounds that we shall
n ver perhaps see cicatrized. But the controversy be
tween them does not al nil afl’< ct Ihe principles of General
iai kson will, reference to the administration of the affaire
ol lire Government, or his qualification, for the high stu
'ion to which tbe American people Iiave called him.
“U e look bevon" General Jackson to the principles
and measures of hi« administration; with them we are
ideased, and we believe that his re election is the only
"means of insuring their success and triumph. For the at
tainment of ibis end, «ve are prepared to yield all minor
considerations We shall, thereiore, as we have ever
done, without reserve, contribute our humble mite to the
RE-ELECTION OF ANDREW JACKSON.
‘Having answered tbe query, we might desist,—hut
hilc on this subject we shall t ike occasion to remark,
>hat our admiration of General Jackson by no mcar.s< m-
br&ces in its scope all hi-former revilers and present fl t-
turers. VVe think about as well of Marlin Van Bure«' hs

dined to doubt the correctness of this, so far as regards
lus first coming lo Court. Ashe has for some linn held
a commission in the army, sm been old enough to figure
at Court as well as in the Camp, we are disposed to be
lievethat he must Lave been before this inttodured at the
Court Be that as it may, the world is most interested
to know something of his inherent traits of character,—
whether he partakesofthe genius of hD father.
Of this, however, we have as yet seen nothing authen
tic. He has been educated probably by the Austrian
Court, so as to be used as the circumstances nf tbe time-
may require for the benefit- of Austria. He has been so
secluded from the world, as to render it difficult to de
termine what his real character is. It has been amusing
to read tbe speculations of different travellers.- suinc have
awarded him a great share of genius, while outers have
asserted that lie possesses neither talents nor a good edu
cation: the probability is that n-i'hei tbe one nor the
other class of these itinerants had any means of knowing
much about Liin, and wrote merely for the sake of pre
paring amusing sketches. Others have said that it was
(be policy of Prince Met'ernich to keep him in ignorance
of the world, and the world in ignorance of him, with a
view lo make ol hini a more pliant instrument for the use
of tiis grandfather. This we apprehend to Ire the most
probable conjecture, should the French become dissa'is-
fied with Louis Philiippc, and drive him from France as.
they have the other Bourbons, they might be dispo«ed to
receive back the son of Napoleon as Emperor. In such
ease the Austrian Government would endeavor to turn
the tide iu its own favor by assisting to put him on the
Fiench throne, and thereby to secure to itself ao irifl •
ence in the French affairs. This, however, is mere mat
ter far speculation, and must depend on the irresistible
operation of events which cannot be foreseen.

Reported Revolution in Spain.—The Norfolk Herald
states, that previous to the s tiling ofthe U. Slates frigate
Java, from Havana, a report was current there, said to
have been brought by a brig arrived nt Principe, direct
from Cadut. stating that the King of Spain had beende*
posed, and had fled with his family to Gibraltar; and that
the Constitution bad been proclaimed ibraugiionl Spain
It was understood at Havana that the public authorities
there had received official ^otelligt-nee ol Ihe revolution,
but kept it secret; the people, however, only waited fur
(he confirmation of the report, to revolt. It is nearly two
months since the date of our last advices from 5'p.iin,
which allows full time for the receipt of subs* quenl intel

VVeoraiMen, yesicidiy, to notice the u* parture from
this city of the lute Secretary of the Navy, on bis return
to his residence in North Carolina. It must be highly
gratifying, at this time, to Governor Branch and bis no
merous Iriends, to notice the deserved respect which is so
generally paid to his private virtues and gentlemanly de
portment, as well a* the high terms in which sound Repub
lican presses speak in commendation of his political con
sistency and sterling patriotism.

YOUNG NAPOLEON.
F.ver since the abdication and exile of Ngpoleon, his
son has been vegetating ii comparative obsciWiiy, at the
Court of bis grandfather, the Emperor of Austria. When
his fattier was driven into exile, ke was hut fire or six
years of age: for the last sixteen years w«.have heard of
him but occasionally, and the accounts have been of an
extremely vague character. Ws used some time to hear
from him by our own iravellers, as a pretty, rosy cheek
ed boy: of late we have heard of him as having received a
commission In the army, and the title of Duke of Riichtat.
The recent revolution and subsequent commotions in
France have brought him into still more interest, as one
who may, by the chances and vicissitudes of destiny, be
restored to the Empire of his father.
A very late letter has been received from V u-nna, which
speaks of him as having been jfist introduced at the Court
-of the Emperor pf Austria for the Aral time. We an?in-
Thry consist of various Art '. Its, among tchich are the fol
