in his turn receive the same hue from General Jack- son. [a this expectation Mr. Blair was by no means disappointed. It was a revival of the old practice of influencing General Jackson originally started under the name of the old kitchen cabinet, comprehending Wm. B. Lewis, Blair, Kendall and others, who, amongst other notable achievement:, effectually demolished Duff Green in the confi de of * Old Hickory.” It is now wel! understood that Mr. Polk, soon alter the last election, and before Jeaving Tennes- see, had made up his mind to retain Mr. Calhoun in the State Department, for some time at least, but in consequence of impressions made by Mr. Blair in ged vate correspondence with General Jackson, and through the later on Mr. Polk, aided and assisted by the influence of Benton and all his friends, Mr. Calhoun was allowed to leave the State Department upon the accession of Mr. Polk, without a single word being said to him, either tor or against his continuanee in office Under the same iniluence, it is also believed that Mr. Polk invited Silas Wright to any post in the Cabinet y Movements and resent Position, Cy ar prefetred. Weighs seluled Then the te waneived 6 DRE hee post of Secretary o} ar was offered to Mr. But. e received a very important and curious | ler, of your city, who alo retused. ‘The friends of vorrespoudent at Washington, | Mr. Van Buren and Silas Wright eapecting that uliar events in the history of | Mr. Cumbreieng would be called to office, were stration of Mr. Polk, which explains a Ma reaaunnbeliied when they, beare of ae ti e rece i Marey’s selection. Ail these matters we number of the recent removals w peculiar position about the time of the inaugura- tion. The correspondence of Blair and his confe: deratea was diligently kept up with General Jack- eon; and, for weeks after the 4th of March, itis ge- nerally usderstood that ‘old Hickory” was in the habit of writing letters to the new President twice and thrice a week, giving his advice about every movement that was to be mide, counselling this, and counselling that, and making use of expres- sions which had probably been heard previously in the mouths of private individuals at Washing- ton, and whose or gin and identity therefore were easily detected. The truth is, under the advice of Benton, Blair aod his confederates had resolved to revive the old Kitchen Cabinet, composed of Amos Kendall, Wm. B. Lewis, Thomas L. Smith, and various other agents and understrappers in Wash- ington, with the view of operating on Mr, Polk, and regulating every thing connected with the new administration,§ through the influence of General Jackson. A most extraordinary scheme it was certaihly—the old Kitchen Cabinet resiored, by means of the old hero, who, on the verge of the grave, and now almost in his dotage, could not re- fuse to swallow the information and advice and suggestions conveyed by Blair, who had loaned him money, and who thought he was serving his country and the ‘glorious cause of democracy,” when he sent back the same information to Mr. Polk. #5 : dt was under this indirect and circuitous influ- ence, operating unknown to Mr. Polk,which caused him to allow Mr. Calhoun to leave the Cabinet in such an abrupt and unceremonious manner, which I verily believe Mr. Polk regrets to thisday. Aid- ed, however, by female tact in the White House, the new President discovered that there was some: thing eran in these mancuvres, and, like a man of great boldness and sagacity, he commenced at once the work of strangulation hy removing Thomas L. Smith, Wm. B. Lewis andDr. Jones listening meanwhile with perfect nuncnalance 1o claims! Amos Kendall for restoration io some permanent! place in the new administration. I have reason to believe that Col. Gardiner,who has been appointed Postmaster here in the place of Dr. Jones, another of the old kitchen cabinet, is half and half con- nected with the same old clique, but time will de- termine whether he can remain in the position which he now holds. _ 8 Cotemporaneous with these matters in Washing- ton, an effort was made by some of the particular trends of Mr Polk to set aside Blair altogether and to reject his newspaper as an organ. Accord. ingly Mr. Ritchie was sent for a few days ago and was here for a half a day, during which he had « long and interesting conversation with Mr. Polk.— Tha first introduction of Mr. Ritchie to Mr. Polk. on his arrival, was quite curious. ‘ Mr. Polk,” said he, “you have made a mistake in the com- mencement of your administration—you have dis- missed Mr. Calhoun too unceremoniously, when he was in the midst of an important negotiation. But yet the error is not quite irretrievable.” It is now understood that the new administration must get rid of the Globe as an organ, and of all the other papers in Washington, and I have every rea- son to believe that in the course of the summer a new paper will be started, which willtake the place of the Globe,and set it aside in the same wav asthe Globe did the Telegraph through which Duff Green attempted to control General Jackson. Arrange- ments have been inade between Mr. Ritchie and Mr. Heiss of Nashville, respecting this matter, and Mr. Heiss isjnow north to procure materials for the establishment of this new piper, which will be in existence before the meeting of the next session of Congress. The printing of the departments will, of course, be given to this paper, and although Blair of the Globe has money, yet it will be utterly impossible for him to make headway against the favor and patronege of the administration and the disaffection of large portions of the democracy. From this historical sketch it will be seen that Mr. Polk has net only mastered and overpowered the various great cliques and their leaders, but has also demolished tne attempt made by’ the old Kitchen Cabinet to restore themeelves to power and office and to organize a new system of retaining an influence over the administration by using General Jackson as their agent and tool of their purposes — Mr. Blair, since the discovery of these things, has made himself scarce at the White House, and locks as sheepish as can well be imagined. It is possible that Blair, Benton, and all their confede- rates may attempt to get up an opposition to Mr. Polk, but I doubt whether they will be able to suc- ceed, if their movements be watched and de- veloped to the people as fast as they come up. ‘Thus it will be seen that the mysterious and puz- zling removals of Lewis, Smith, Jones, all mem bers of the old kitchen cabinet, have beenproduced by a sort of revolution in the mind of Mr. Polk against the attempt made to govern him in the same way in which General Jackson was ruled when he was in the White House. I do not believe, not- withstanding all that hes been said in the newspa- pers, Coat Blair was ever asked to sell kis paper, or that he will receive = § offer or favor from the ad- ministration. As for Amos Kendall, he has not a chance, @nd I very much doubt whether Colonel Gardiver will be able to clear his skirts effectually of contact with the clique which has been so detec- ted and punished. Benton, during all these move- ments, has been in Washington, and has been,| have every reason to believe, the prircipal counsellor and assistant of Blairin all these amusing intrigues. This, then, isthe explanation of all the late curi- ous and mysterious movements. Is it not very ee ig you would say, very amusing and phiJoso- phical 4 In another quarter, Mr. Polk has freed himsel/ of an annoying and intriguing influence. Duff Gteen arrived here a few days ago, with bis trunk full of important documents, from Texasand Mex- ico, on the subject of annexation. Immediately on his arrival he called on Mr. Polk, and requesi- ed him to suspend all action en anything relating to Texas, as he had wonderful information which he could communicate to him gratis on that sub- ject. Duff attempted in the same way to give a direction to the policy of Sir Robert Peel, aad also that of Mr. Shannon in Mexico, and a similar et- fort got him into difficulty with Mr. Jones, the Pre- sident of Texas. Mr. Pok, however, treated the self-constituted plenipotentiary-general with very great coolness, and thinks that, with his present cabinet, he can himself manege his own affairs, 80 that Duff has not fared much better with Mr Polk than he did with Sir Robert Peel in England, or President Jones in Texas. Duff will now prebably spend the rest of bis days mining coal in Cumber- and, Maryland. He tried indeed to get a number of patents, from one of the effices here, securing some of the valuable mines near Lake Superior, but he failed completely. In consequence of this failure to settle the Texas question, Duff Green now goes about like a little roaring lion, telling us thet Texas never will be annexed—ihat the government is against it—that the British agents are there—and that there is no chance for it aow that they have refused to let him have a finger in the pie. 1am very much of opinion myself that nexation is in a bad way, and should not be at all surprised to see Mr. Calhoun sent to Texas on a special mission by Mr. Polk to finish in that republic what he so auspiciously commenced when he was Secretary of State. In all these singular movements and intrigues du- ring the last few weeks, Mr. Polk has not been very much aided by his Cabinet, for they do not seem to understand the complicated position of the cliques or the various efforts made to control the action of the new gayernment. I am very much disposed to believe that Mr. Marcy is rather a slippery man, and lets out secrets too much. He seems to be in favor of the Globe, but he will have to conform to the determinations of the President, or march. Thus it will be seen that clique after clique— coterie after coterie—intrigue after intrigue—have been uipped in the bud by the common sense saga- city and determined resolution of the new Presi- dent. The old Kitchen Cabinet is entirely anniti- lated. That regime cannever be restored. In the course of a few months the arrangements will be completed, and the new paper be started, under a newname, with Mr. Ritchie and Mr. Heiss as edi Whether they will attempt to organize an original kitchen Cabinet of their own, for the pur- pose of influencing the administration, I do not now. [doubt much whether Mr, Ritchie will consent to come to Washington, unleses he be gra- tified with a change in the State Department. Atall events the recent removals of ‘i'yler men and whigs, and old Jackson men, have struck ter- ror into the minds of all the government de- pendents, and taught them that Mr. Polk is a ae, determined man than they had ever be- ved, RIAL WEEKLY HERALD A Characteristic Scene at the Park Theatre.

Whe New Adininistration=—Its Recent Extra. or the appointmentsin a more accurate and satisfactory manner than any § we have yet seen in any quarter. We must fess that, until we read this letter, we were sorely puzzled to account for the decapitation of Wm. B. Lewis, Taomas L, Smith, and Dr. Jones at Washington, all of whom were members of the id * Kitchen Cabinet,” under the Jackson regime, aud who had managed, amid all the varying events of the last four years to retain their position, in spite of all changes and revoluti The letter which we give this morning at explains all these matters. We always believed that Mr. Polk would en counter a great deal of difficulty in the formation of his new administration, from the various interests ard cliques which existed in the party that elected him to office, and each of whom would struggle for the mastery. It seems that he is beginning to awake to the realities of his difficult position, and, what is yet more note-worthy, thathe is calling up from the resources of his own mind, courage enough and foree enough to resist all suck attempts—to re- volt even at the influence of eld Jackson himself, and tobe iahis own length and breadth the President of iue United States. We certainly must give Mr. Polk great credit forthis determined conduct, and thus far,with some few exceptions, we think he has succeeded to a remarkable extent in realizing the idea of an independent President. We think we may now safely regard the old Kitchen Cabinet and the Globe, which was its organ—its steady, un- scrupulous, well-paid organ—as, pretty nearly an- nihilated. We are glad to be able to announce that there is now no doubt that a new paper will be established at Washington on much more compre- hensive, liberal and sound principles than those which have characterized the action of the Gtohe during the last few years. It is supposed that Mr Blair is worth $200,000, made out of the pickings of Congress, administered to him by the members both of the Senate and the House, who wanted him for their own purposes and used him to serve their own interests. In another point of view,we think the determina- tion of the new administration to cut loose from the Globe and send it adrift, and with it all the old cliques, willbe of great edvantage. We allude to the settlement of the tariff question on a national and judicious basis—the acquisition of Texas, if it ever is to be aequired—and to the arrangement of our difficulties with England in relation to Oregon. It is generally supposed that Mr. Buchanan will not long remain in the State Department, in conse- quence ofhis extreme views on the tariff and the difficulties which now surround the Texas question. Tteeems that since Mr. Caltioun left, every thing i3 ma state of great confusion in the department of State on the subject of annexation,and we should not be surprised to see that important measure entirely lest by the difficulties which have accumulated around it, bothin Texas and in Mexico, and also, and more particularly,in the adininistration of the demo- cratic party itself. We do verily believe that the only possible mode of accomplishing the annexation of ‘Texas at this lateyday, and in view of the difficul- ties which have come to environ it, would be the appointment of Mr. Calhoun on a special mission to Texas. If any man can bring that republic into the territory of the United States, by removing the obstacles to that resuit which exist in the Texan government, he is the man. Thus much, however, for the first month of the new administration of Mr. Polk. In the space of thirty days he has travelied over more changes and transitions—more difficulties with cliques and cote- ries, than ordinary administrations encounter in their four years. He has committed some errors in his appointments and in other matters, andsome ot his cabinet ministers are committing greater er- rors, a8 we already perceive in some of their acts, but we trust that when these matters are pointed out to the new administration, the errors will be retrieved, and a new tack taken as soon as possi ble. We,haveno doubt that Mr. Polk is one of the most honest men that we have had in the office of Chief Magistrate, and that whatever he does,tis done with pure intentions. We sincerely hope that he may succeed, and make a popular President in spite of all difficulties. But let us give the letter of our private cerres- pondent. Here it is, and it will, we are well assu- red, be read with the greatest interest :— A Peep behind the Curtain, Wasnineton, Lst April, 1845. { have no doubt that you in the metrovolis, have been very much puzzled of late at many of the removals and appoiniments made by the new ad- ministration during the last few weeks 1n this re- gion. Indeed, those who ure not in the secret and do not uaderstand the real springs of action, are as much puzzled here as people can be in any part of the country. We have witnessed with equal aston- ishment, the removal of some of the most noted whigs from office here, announced in the eame breath with that of some of the very bed-fellows of ‘old hickory,” comprising removals made indis rimiaately amongst the whigs, the Tyler men, the Jackson, and all “sorts of men, ata jump.— ion of the new President and his Cabinet indeed puzzled many, but I think [ can unravel ystery toyou. There has been a series of in- trigues amongst those philosophers who formed the vriginal Kitchen Cabinet of General Jackson, for the purpose of getting completely under their thamo Mr. Potk and the new administration. In the cemrse of affairs, Mr. Poik discovered these intrigues in all their ramifications, and became sv incensed at the attempt made to dupe him, that he immediately went to work, and had all the chiel actors in the plot decapitated at once, comprising Vm. B. Lewis,who was formerly a bed-fellow of General Jackson, and one of the leading spirits of his kitchen cabinet, and Thomas Li. Smith of the Treasury Department, besides various other per. sons who expected to get office, but who never will, ineludiag Amos Kendall and others. Incl ded in this conspiracy,and indeed one of ite princi- pal instruments, was Blair of the Globe. Indeed that “ organ” was the very pivot of the movement by which it was sought to control Mr. Polk and to perpetuate the dynasty which destroyed Mr. Van cares = cineraced the country during his Presi- eney. But let me come to the parti of the whole affair. Seer Ke Soon after the election of Mr. Polk to the Presi- deacy, and about the commencement of the lasi oe ot Congress, these movements, secret and slow) began amongst the old faction of the Benton © intention was to operate upon Mr Polk through General Jackson, and Mr. Blair's eater save im peculiar facilities for conduct- ra © Ingenious scheme. It seems that during the epeculationsof 1837, or about that period, seve- ral of the Donelsons, connexions of General Jack: gon, became involved y i 5 ved in some not very productive land speculations, and in which Kendall and others in this region "Fela be a participated.

The Nashville Union, without any authority, aflects to declare ais sentiments en that point, but it is no longer his organ in any degree. Jt 1s much more likely that the democracy will seek Mr. Polk as a candidate again, than that he will seek them. The facts detailed in this long letter will explain the meaning of recent movements, and throw inte- resting light on tbe future. TALLEYRAND. New Tueatrica Movements.~One of the most interesting and novel theatrical movements that we have seen, is that of the floating theatre at present stationed near the foot of Canal street. It has been erected on a large steamboat; and is really fitted up in a very elegant and tasteful man- ner. If our readers will imagine the Olympic thea- tre, with its stage, scenery, boxes, parquette, gas- lights and all, shipped on board one of the mostele- gant North River boats, they will have a perfect idea of this “temple of the muses,” as its proprie- tors have thought fit in their wisdom to designate it. An excellert company of performers, including two or three very pretty women, have embarked their fortunesin this enterprige, and really from the manner in which the performances went off last night, we are inclined to believe that their summer tour, in which they propose to visit all the river towns, will be very profitable. There were five or six hundred people in this handsome little box of a theatre last night, and it was as respectable and well pleased an audience as oue could desire to see. At Castle Garden we-are to have a summer thea- tre, which is likely to prove a formidable rival to Niblo’s. Pico, De Begnis and Valteliina are to bing there—and what, with the unrivalled promenade on the Battery—the cool and delicious breeze from the bay—the bright moonlight glancing on the pla- cid water—we can have no doubt of the success of this very well designed mevement in summer amusements. New Yorx Pivotaee.—The pilotage of this port ig now free; thrown open to every one; to the mer- chants and captains of all vessels entering New York harbor. Allthe present pilots continue a: such and we shall now see whether or not they have been neglectful of their duty as has so been asserted by those opposed to them. We shall now see whetlier or not the merchants and underwriters will be pleased with a system produced by their own folly, in opposing our excellent and hardy pi lots. This deserving class of our citizens will be feund the same enterprising set of men under the new law as before, and they will show to the world that the old cry of monopoly was ella humbug, gotup by a few interested individuals. Our pilote favored this freedom of the seas; all others were opposed to it. Why? Time will tell. Ruopk Ieuan Exection.—We have recived ¢ few scattering returns, exhibiting the agpect of af- fairs in that little six-by-nine State on Wednesday.

Custom House, New York, Collector’s Office, April 34, 1845.- To os Enrror or TE New Yorx Hgpaup ,— me: — Mv attention having been called to an article i the Morning News of to-day, in relation to thd! case of H. E. Riell, and, as usual, finding fau! with my cenduct, I will thank you to publish the following explanation : Three or four days azo, it was stated to me, thai the democratic party inj the 6th Ward was dividec and distracted between twg or three candidates, o/ which H. E. Riell was one, for Assis‘ant Alder- man, and that many persons were charging the Custom House with an improper interference in the election, and of being the cause of the disunion, in consequence of one of the officers belonging to it being engaged in « contested popular election. Isent tor Mr. Riell, and on Tuesday morning Jast he called upon me, when [ informed him that [ considered it improper for officers of this depari- ment to become candidates at popular electious for other public offices; that besides the neglect of of- ficial duty to which it could not fail to lead, it was calculated to produce imputations upon this depart- ment of improperly meddling with thé elections ; and that I, therefore, felt it to be my duty to advise him to withdraw {from the contest in which he wat engaged, and, at the an time, to state to him that he could not retain higplace here if he did not doso. I urged Mr Riell, iff the most flendly man ner, to continue in the place he held, and assured him ef my friendly disposition to sustain him in it, and that it was only on a¢cuunt of a principle which I felt absolutely bound to act upon, that [had placed before him the alternative above stated.— Mr. Riell urged several arguments to convince me that his course was a proper one, but which were wholly unsatisfactory to my mind. A gentleman of this city was present and heard the whole con- versation. Mr. Riell agreed to reflect upon the matter, and to give me his answer the next day. Accordingly he called on Wednesday, in company with his ta- ther, when the conversetion of the previous day, as above detailed, was rd@peated, together withsome further suggestions on both sides, but of the same character. The result was, that Mr. Riell exprees- ed hisdetermination to proceed asa candidate in hire ward, and on being «sked by my whether I should consider him as resigning his office in the Custom House, he answered no, and gaia he should not re- sign. This closed the interview. Mr. Riell will, of course, be removed from hie place in the Cus- tom House, and I shall be accountable to the au- thorities over me for the course I have adopted ; a course, as I conceived, of imperious duty, and which was at variance both with my personal feel- ings and pecuniary interest. t may be proper to add, that having also heard that another officer of this department, Mr. Eng- lish, had received, or was about to receive, a no- mination for Alderman in the Third Ward, I sent for him at the same time of sending for M: i ind on expressing to him the same views as in the other case, he informed me that he had already de- clined the nomination. As to the assertions of the Morning News that I was induced to this action by a desire to serve some other candidate, it ‘will not, Iam sure, be considered by any reasonable person that there fs any necessity for a denial.

Mr Senator Jones, in opposing a resolution for hold- ing afternoon sessions, yesterday, remarked that such sessions would at present be out of the ques- tion, because the Senators from the first district had been every afiernoon of the past, and would be every afternoon of the present week, engaged in conference with the Governor, upon the subject of appointments for New York. These matters must be considered a3 of no small moment, when it takes the combined powers of the Governor and three Senators to decide them. The probability is, we are informed, that few removals, and conse- quently few new appointments, wiil be made, *ex- cept for cause.” There is much meaning in the last pbrase, if people could always understand what idea our dignitaries wish to convey.
