The Wash- ington correspondent of the New York Times writes as follows :-Notwithstanding rumours to the contrary, I am, authorized to say the President will not in any event dispense with the services of Mr. Seward as Secretary of State. He entertains. for him the deepest sympathy in his sufferings, And regards the preservation ot the Secretary's kife as,seeond to that of no man in the nation, and impati- ently awaits the time when he will have the benefit of Mr. Seward's counsel. I am alert authorized to my that the reports in news- papers that the Preeident mahout to re -organ- ize his Cabinet, are without foundation in truth. 111011:TOAOR SALE. 10 SHARES & ANCHORS, SOB. ingiliSETIL ammolmr••=••••• UNDER and by virtue of s.
