Nothing but the most indisputable evidence could convince us of a serious misunderstanding -between the President and a cabinet officer, with whom he has for a number of years associated on the most friendly terms. . The Metropolitan fur nishes -a very satisfactory explanation of the source of the rumor. It appears that in con rersation some short time back, Mr. Forsyth casually expressed ' his preference of the Aus trian mission to any other which could be offered 19 him, without entertaining however the remotest idea of seeking or obtaining it. The President, deeming Mr. Forsyth eminently qualified forthe charge,- recently offered him the mission; which, on account of private cir cumstances, he felt himself Compelled to de cline.' But hearing or apprehending that his previously expressed desire to visit the Aus trian Court might have been misconstrued, he thought it a proper compliance with- delicacy 'and a sense of etiquette, to tender a resignation of. the place which he occupied in the Cabinet, which the President declined receiving. A SCENE AT THE CAPITOL. - . The following is we believe, says the National Intelligencer, from what we have heard of it, a pret ty fair description of the state and-condition" of the House or Representatives on me last nignt oi tne late Session of Congress. ; '. . -r v"', ; 4 ' Correspondence of the Boston Advocate. - - Washingtok, March 4, 1837. "There was a mob in the House of Representa tives last evening, as direct a mob as was ever got up, and more than two-third of the members of Con gress were litet ally driven out of their seats. Had they been pressed ever so hard by the rioters, they would not ha ve offered the least resistance: and when ihe officers of the House attempted to expel the mob the members not only withheld all aid from them, but actually refused to suffer the rioters to be driven from the seats they had usurped. It wad the most lovely mob that ftney could sketch, or art and taste adorn a mob of brilliant, beautiful ladies. Disre garding all the rules of the House, and not a few of the rules of propriety, some two hundred ladies com prising the beauty and fashion that is centered here from all the union, rushed into the Hall, and pressed into the aisles and very seats of the members, until, instead of representatives, there were ladies occupy ing half the seats, and the members standing in the passage-ways and outside the bar. 1 his ol course, put an end to all business and was quite as bad in effect upon the public interest as the raving speeches r. . l 1IT . 1 - t 1 I I .

The business ol the nation is sometimes paramount even to politeness to the ladies. But who could turn ou the fair intruders? ' ' , - - ; The House was in Committee of the W hole, Mr Smith ol Maine, in the Chair. At every attempt oi the Clerk to read a bill, some of the members would exclaim that they could hear noihing there was so much confusion. The ladies were bnzzing with nods and wreathed smiles, as if the Halt hadkbten con verted into a drawing room: and they were evident ly electioneering a great rate with everymember who had the felicity to sun himself in their sanies, in yam the chairman called upon members to resume their seats and attend to business. The ladies only looked delightf ully with all their might, and kept tbeir seats unmolested. Well-bred impudence is the most importable thing on earth; and what did the members care lor the Choctaw bill, when a lovely woman was a'much more agreeable subject of tlis cussion 7 - Noihing could be done. - The Speaker resumed hia chair, an.I tried his aut hority. The rules of the House, he said, must be enforced the Hall must be cleared and the members must resume their seats. This rebuke prevailed on about half the beautiful in truder to leave the desks, and go inside the bar, but enough remained to throw ail business into confu sion. 1 They sat it out. most of them, till near mid night. The confusion was like that of a town meet ing, and the sound ol voices like that of many waters. drowning even the powerful voice and distinct enun ciation of the Clerk." : MINISTER TO SPAIN I A Windfall.rIt is said that a worthy far The following account of the, reception of mer in Norfolk County a few days since, while ihe American Minister, General Eaton, at the Spanish Court, is translated from the Madrid Gazette of the 30th jof January : r ; : ; ; Mr. J.
