The following letter from a friend at Washington was received too late for last ' week's paper. We shall be pleased to ! hear frotn " Chapultepec" often. Correspondence of the Gazette. WASHINGTON, April 25, 1849. MR. EDITOR —It is so customary these 1 times for papers to have their correspon ; dents in Washington, that I do not per ceive any valid reason why the organ of the indomitable Whigs of little Mifflin should be behind the age, and therefore 1 lake the liberty of giving your readers an inkling, now and then, of what a looker on sees and hears from time to time in this metropolis of politics and power. The Adiniuistiation is slowly progress ing in the great work of reform, and, 1 think, is laying a sure foundation for the time to come. The Cabinet is composed, as you know, of men of the most undoubt ed'abilities, and to this add industry, per severance, and an ardent desire to promote the best interests of the whole country, and you have a correct idea of the men Gen Taylor hau chosen to n-siat him in the functions of government, for this great and growing nation. Many politicians will no doubt find fault with the tardy movements of the appointing power, hut they must remember that Rome was not built in a day, and a greater work than building Rome is now progressing in the body politic of this Republic. General Taylor has pledged himself not to he the President of a party, and therefore cannot do as did the elder and younger Hickory, indiscriminately slaughter all who happen to differ with him in opinion. We have evidence en- ugh for us to be convinced that his friends will in due time have their claims considered, and that such changes will he mails as the interests of the country demand. The hooks are now being post etl, and you may expect a settlement made with very many of the hands now employ ed, about the first of May. I| i* said that Mr. Clayton, Second Auditor ofthe Trea sury, who fills the place of one John M. McCalla, has recommended for removal several of the gentlemen, who sit in their offices, smoking segars and reading " Du mas' last" for three hours a day, and then dress for a promenade to the Capitol grounds. This is as it should be. The business in some of the i ffices is now titter and four years behind the lime, and men are obliged to wait until it suits the conve nience of these worthies, before their ac counts are even put in way of settlement. I was told bv a Clerk yesterday, that the business of his office was twelve years be hind when his duties commenced, a short time since. 1s ty torn them out, and ap point men w ho will discharge their duties faithfully nod promptly. Mr. Meredith has issued a circular to the chiefs of the different Bureaus in his department requir ing a list of all persons employed therein, the time of their appointment, what their duties, who are incompetent, who in ar rears, A:-., which has created some ex citement among them, and caused a gen eral spurring up of the lazy ones. The Post Office Department is doing the woi k of reform with neatness and despatch. Judge Collamer and his efficient aid, Col. Warren, are winning for themselves golden opinions in all sections oi the country. Father Ritchie whines like a whipped spaniel, hut 'twill not avail the Aug-an Stable must be cleansed, and in no De partment is there more necessity* for a thorough clearing cut than the Post Of fice. l'here are hut few office seekers here at present, many having gone home to hide their time, and patiently await the moving of the waters. Thousands wi!l be disappointed in the distiibution of of fices, but of course will yield to the neces sity that prevents one office from being given to a hundred applicants. The Phil adelphia appointments are not yet made, and there seems to he quite a competition for the Collector's office. The applicants arc all good men, and it is difficult to make a selection. A magnificeui sword was presenied to the President yesterday, by a deputation from Virginia, on behalf of the Stair. The ceremonies were very interesting, and you will see a full account of lire speeches, Ac. in the papers of to da v. The levees at the White Mouse are thronged, and every visiter leaves di light ed with the reception he receives from the People's nmn. Mrs. Taylor has been in delicate health, and the honors of the la dies' department are done by Mrs. Bliss in a style at once elegant and prepossessing. I may give you a more definite idea of life in Washington at some future time. Yours, Ac , CIIAFULTETEC.
