Mr. GOLILBEIRN and Sir HENRY HAR DINGE are mentioned as the successors of Mr. Busatsson and Lord PALMERSTON, at the Colonial and War Departments; and Mr. Gamais office is assigned by report to Mr. FRANKLAND LEWIS. The reasons of the differences in the Ministry are now pretty well understood. They originated wholly in the East Retford Disfranchisement Bill. It is well known that a kind of compromise was made by Mr. Peat, when this and the Penryn Bill were before the House, that the franchise of the first should be thrown into the Hundred, and of the latter transferred to Man chester. It is now more than suspected that the Penryn Bill will not pass the Louis. Although there is not any parliamentary knowledge of this, yet it is sufficiently known tb warrant the allocation of the East Retford Franchise being considered a part, without reference to the principle of equalizing the agricultural and manu facturing interests. We believe the Privy Council, which satspecially on this subject. took this view of ir. •A majority, however, then voted for the extension to the Hundred. But when the question came on in the House, the minority did not consider themselves bound by the previous decision of the Cabinet to voting with the Minister, or at least not voting at all. This pro duccsi a strong appeal to head quarters, and the conse. quence of. some remonstrances was the resignations which last week agitated the public. Conjecture was further excited by the long notice which was given that Mr. PELT. would on Friday last move the adjournment for a week ; but this might have been wholly owing to a with to give Members an early opportunity of taking advantage of the recess. There is no probability now, however, of any adjustment of political differences taking place. The Duke of WELLINGTON has been unremitting in his endeavours to preserve concord in the Cabinet ; but his efforts have been unsuccessful, particularly in the quarter. where the irritation unhap. pily arose. The silence of the oppositio is easily accounted for by their wish to throw no difficulties in the way of re coucilement, since they could gain nothing by the di: union of the parties. One we'd more—the rumours with respect to the Catholic Question being the real cause of the fracas, hate not the least foundation that we can find. ft does incakulable mischief to the Pub lk when such reports as were afloat last week are suf- feted to spread, without any authoritative account of the real state of things. The following extract from a Morning 1 9 . trier, the New Times, fully ;sounds with our own previous in formation : " The &tads which we subjeln come from a quarter which leaves ma doubt as to their.authenticky—lt appears that the question of the East Itetford Bilibavmg been unexpectedly pressed upon the &allow of the Moose on Monday last, Mr. MU/IVMM thought bistmelf compelled, in consequence of an attack made upon him by Mr. Slauutv, to vote agalast the side taken by 4r. Peet.— For Oa sake of consistency, and from a chivalrous feeling of Ede:icy co his Mead. Lord P./Awaits:es followed his essmpk. The same tight Mi.Mosmueis wrote a letter to the Duke of Wg&. morrow, in which he saq, N that having found himself compelled • to vote against_ Mr. rut., he was ready to resign his situation if that were thought proper."—His Grace' considered this letter as a virtual resignation, and arded it a ctor gly th is Maurer on Tuesday. A letter for to w the same effect from Lord Potauttsros being soon after received, was also transmitted in the same manner to the Kiso. Subsequently Mr. Hustissos addressed a second letter to the Noble Duke, saying, " that he had not in tended to resign, and that all he meant by his first letter was this— that having been compelled to vote against Mr. Pau., the leader of the House of Commons, he should not consider himself ill used if he were to be deprived of his office." The Duke of Wm.:mu:not forwarded this second letter, as he bad done the first, to his MA. .11ISTY, and here the matter still rests for the present." There has been a report that the SULTAN, sensible ol the approaching danger which threatens his political existence, has shown a disposition of submitting to the terms insisted on by Russia. and among which there is one that would shake to its centre the pride of the Ottoman Power, as it requires nothing less than the razing of the Turkish Forts at the Bosphorus. This humiliation would deprive the Ottoman Porte of the power of closing the Black Sea against merchant ships or men of war, and would give to Russia the best security that the commerce of her southern provinces with the Mediterranean will henceforward remain undisturbed, whatever the differences may be that might arise in the sequel between the two Governments. In a political point of view, this measure would be of still . more im portance, as it would prevent the Porte from impeding in future the intercourse between Russia and Greece. According to the last arrivals from the Continent by the French and German mails, the SULTAN, and the commandineurkish Generals, have neglected nothing that could inspire the troops with zeal for the defence of their religion and country. The SULTAN was con stantly in the midst of his troops, and great fetes were given to him and to his army; but notwithstanding all these exertions, it will be impossible for him to with stand the forces that are sent against him, the whole number of his regulai army, since the destruction of the Janissaries, amounting to no more than 70,000 men, all of whom are troops of the new levy, and without ex !nce. The United States of America, availing themselves of the present state of the Porte, have concluded with her a convention, by which the privilege of entering the Channel had been granted to the American flag, on the payment of a duty of b per cent. The Porte having since last year concluded Treaties to this effect with almost all the minor naval Powers of Europe, this pri vilege has consequently become less valuable than it was considered hitherto, and should she indeed see her self compelled to dismantle her forts on both sides the shore, it will then become a matter of discussion, whe ther she would be emitted further to exact any duties upon foreign ships passing the Dardanelles. The Gazelle de Florence announces, as certain, that the Russian Admiral has received orders from his Government to blockade the Dardanelles. A letter from Toulon of the 15th of May states, that the Breslow, Scipion, and Sirene, have received orders to sail on the 18th for the Levant. By the arrival of the Alecto from Jamaica,. at Liver• pool, Jamaica Papers to the 28th March have been received. The following is an extract : " CARTHAGENA, 111*.scu IS. le I am happy to inform you that we have been per fectly tranquil here since I last wrote to you, and at present there appears no apprehension for further alarm. By the post we have learned that General Padilla had passed through Mompox, for Ocana, on the 19th inst. Several Officers and other disaffected persons will be sent off. The whole conspiracy has been fully deve loped by a few that are not able to keep their own counsel. The withdrawing of the troops from the city so suddenly was, they say, the saving of much blood shed. At any rate, we may consider ourselves fortu nate that it concluded so well, for the intention of Pa dilla and his patty were diabolical in the extreme. " The post brought accounts of a desperate I evolt in Upper Peru, but which had been put down by the determined bravery of a German Officer. All this is the work of Santander, and I now see that a civil war must be the result. It is expected that there will be a sufficient number of Representatives assembled tO be ftble to sit about the second proximo. Bolivar does not leave Bogota, as was expected. Something is brewing there. It is said Bolivar is afraid to leave the city." By the Dutch Mail we have received the Journal of Si. Peter:burgh io the 11th, and Hamburgh Papers to the 20th inst. It is stated in the former, that the Em• peror NICHOLAS left his capital on the evening of the 7th of May, and etas expected to arrive at Ismael on the 17th. The Russian army will not pass the Danube till after the EMPEROR'S arrival at that fortress. The fol. lowing are ettracts: ST. PETERSBURGII, MAT 7. His Majesty the Emperor left t'be capital this evening, to join the army which is to act against Turkey. The Grand Duke Michael set out for the army on Sunday evening last. MAY 9.—Her Majesty the Empress Alexandra set out yesterday on her journey to Odessa. By an Ukase of the Ist inst. his Majesty has been pleased to grant the request of the Privy Councillor Lanskoy, on account of his advanced age and ill health, to resign the direction of the Ministry of the Interior and his other functions, retaining, however, those of Member of the Council of the Empire, and President of the Com mittee for the erection of Isaac's Cathedral. The road of Cronstadt became free of ice on the sth, and the Rag, indicating the opening of the navigation, Was hoisted on the fortress. Up to the 3d of this month, 195 ships had arrived at Riga—sailed 23.—St. Peters burgh Journal, May 10. BERLIN, MAY 19.

Count Pahlen, who arrived with the Russian tioops, has caused the Manifesto to be distri buted. He announced himself to the assembled Boyards as head of the Provisional Government. It is said that the army will not pass the Danube till after the arrival of the Emperor at Ismael. The Turks are reported to have assembled in Bulgaria and Rumelia, inclusive of the garrisons of the fortresses, twenty thousand regular troops, twenty thousand body guards of the Paellas, and about one hundred thousand militia."—Prussian State Gatette, May 19. CHRISTIANIA, MAT 9. His Majesty the King of Sweden and Norway issued on the 7th a very severe Proclamation against those persons who constantly endeavour to excite the inha bitants of Norway against the Swedes, who, with this view, have been accustomed for these four years past to meet on the 17th of May, in which meetings they con ducted themselves in an illegal manner. (The 17th of May was the day on which Prince Christian, in 1814, assumed the Crown of Norway, which he afterwards laid down ) His Majesty declares, that what was done on the 17th May was irrevocably abolished by the Con stitution, which was solemnly sworn to on the 441 N'./V. HIS Majesty has therefore strictly prohibited such meet ings as those above alluded to; and announced that,' for the purpose of maintaining order and tranquillity, and the Constitution under which Sweden and Norway have enjoyed so much prosperity, orders have been given to all military and civil authorities rigorously to enforce this prohibiri , n, and to punish all who may transgress• it, as the law directs. . ;;lt • STOCKHOLM, MAY 9. 4.!

A Mail has arrived this morning from the Brazils, but the Papers and letters by the conveyance are only two days later than the last accounts. According to the letters received at Rio from Rio Grande, the op posing armies were mar,ceuvring within sight of each other, and a battle was daily expected. FROM THE RIO HERALD, MARCH 8. We have been favoured with the following extract of a letter, dated Rio Grande, February 7. " We have been much alarmed these last three or four weeks, expecting the enemy would advance upon St. Francisco de Paula and this place, and almost total suspension of business has been the consequence.— Orders have been issued by the Commander in Chief (Lecor) ro embark all moveable property of value, fa milies, &c. from the frontiers. Freguesia de St. Fran cisco de Paula, and even this side the water for the north, where vessels are hired to recei►e goods for want of sufficient warehouses, and the yachts, have been em• bargoed by the Government; nor are vessels allowed to unload on this side the water, whether national or foreign ; in fact nothing is doing, except getting cargo on board a few foreign vessels in port. The enemy had passed the lines and taken possession of Jaquarao, but how the inhabitants were treated is not known. "The Brazilian army had retired farther up the river Jaquarao, giving the etSemy an opportunity to enter the province with their who* force. General Lecor had arrived at the army about three weeks ago, and dis coveied that great intrigoing was going on with some of the principal Officers against General Braun, who very spiritedly demanded his dismissal, unless they were removed ; and although they were immediately under him in command, his demand was granted by General Lecor, by sending•them to different places; and now good order is re-established, the most favourable re sult is looked for; the two armies are within a short distance of each other, some say three or four leagues, , while others affirm they are in sight, with something like equal force of 6or 8,000 strong. We are in daily ex pectation of a battle, and until it has taken place, and that favourable to the Brazilians, business will be very dull." MARCH 15—The report which was circulated last Saturday, of a general action having taken place be tween the Brazilian and Buenos Ayres armies, and which we announced in our last Paper, appears to have been premature. It is nevertheless true, that Govern ment has received dispatches by the two last vessels of war, entered from the south, stating that the two armies, at no great distance from each other, were in a mutual state of observation, and that on our side all necessary precautions had been taken to prevent any of the enemy's mantzuvres from taking effect. The first arrivals were consequently looked for with great anxiety, and we should not be surprised, should any general action take place, that it will prove decisive. (The first Number of the Rio Herald contains also the Emperor's declaration of abdication of the Crown of Portugal). Extract of a letter from Rio Janeiro, dated 17th March, to a merchant in the City :—"" It is possible the Government, at the instigation of Great Britain and France, received per last packet, are now more aware of the necessity to conclude the war ; and we hear the packet that sails to-morrow for Buenos Ayres renews offers of conciliation, and on the above influence—if so, we think peace likely, as the enemy is already in Rio Grande, in front of the . Brazilian troops, perhaps neither of them desirous for battle. The former is better pro vided with cavalry, the latter have the advantage by being commanded by Lecor; and the best for both parties is peace. THE AR 71Y. . . Four troops of the sth Dragoon Guards. under the command of Major KWIC last week marched through Devizes from Leeds, on their route tp relieve the 4tb Guards at >orcheOer. One troop o f the sth is also to he stationed at Trowbridge. and another at Christ church. Prince LEOPOLD, we believe, is the Colonel of this Ur Regiment. WINDSOR, MAY 24. The health of the Princess AUGUSTA has derived considerable benefit from her sejour at Ftogmore. Her Royal Highness takes an airing daily, and again leaves us on Monday for • short period. Queen Elizabeth's Gateway, at the top of Cattle: street, has been this day pulled down. THE PARK Was filled with beauty and fashion at a very early hour yesterday. The gay cavalcade of equestrians ill the Wellington Drive attracted much notice, and there were several new candidates for fame in the " Four in-hand" circles. The Duchess Of GLOUCESTER, Prince ESTERHAzy, Duchess of NORTHUMBERLAND, and the Mafchiones•e s Of LOTHIAN, WINCHESTER, CHOLMONDELET, CANDI; and LONDONDERRY, were thereat• 6`•e o'clock. DRURY•LANE THEATRE. Saturday. being Whitsun.Eve, a Selection clf Ancient and Modern Music was petfurmed, according to an. nual custom, at this Theatre. The Concert was under the direction of Mr. BISHOP. Madame Pasta and Miss Stephens, Madame Stockhausen, Hughes, Miss Grant, the Misses Cawse, and Miss Love, aided by Braham, Sapio, Wood, and De Degnis, sustained, 'with their ac. customed vigour and science, the principal part of a very judicines selection from the works of Handel, Haydn, Rossini, Weber, Hummel, Bishop, and Mozart. The principal instrumental performers were M. D e BERIOT. HARPER, PUZZI, NICHOLSON. and LINDLEy— the band being led by Mr. T. COOKE anti Mr. MoRI. Mr. BRAHAM, accompanied by Mr. LINDLEY On the violoncello, was encored in the Cantata of Alexis. The execution of De BERIOT upon the violin, and hazt land HARPER upon the horn and trumpet, also excited much applause. Madame PSSTA gave a trriti pill" with her usual power; and lie BEGNIS I.Ang with his usual comicality and spirit. The 110 , 1 C was ex. ceedingly well filled. BRIGHTON, MAY 25. Thursday evening a great number of the inhabitants were attracted to the Cliffs, at Brighton, by the amear ance of the sea, the surface of which seemed as if On. minated, arising most probably from the spawn of fish, or larva. of some of the endless variety of marine insects. The apple trees in the nieighbourhood of Chieheee , are well blJwn. but little wall fruit generally. T:ie wheats have been greatly improved by the late wa , nt weather ; as has been the grass t by the genial yam thoweTs of the present week. _ . Careirr.—The first match of importance of the present seam was played at Midburst, between the Brighton Club and the Eastern part of Sussex, against the MiJhurst Club arid tbeWesteen part of the said County, on Monday and Tuesday last. Midharst took the first innings, and closed it with 92 Puns. Against that number their opponents contended, and produced a tye. The result of the following innings was not so favourable to the later, and Midburst obtained the victory with eighty-three runs a head. The final state of the match was— Midhurst, first inning', 92 runs, second ditto, 129—total 221 ' • Brighton, Irst inning., 92 runs, second ditto, 46—total 1311. It was a fine treat to the amateur spectators of the manly game. The odds often changed aides, from five and six to four, and were in favour of Brighton anti *arly fifty runs in the second innings were scored by their adver saries, and not a wicket lost. The play of the BROADBILIIIGES, Burr, HOOKUP, and .htIiINSON, Esqs. was very fine, on the part of Mid. burst; Olathe other side, BlItYl9ll, PIERPOINT, SLATER. and Lilts. warm excelled; the former, at the close of the sttnggle. bad carrier away no less than nine wickets by his own shot-like balls—beyond all question he is the hardest and the straightest bowler in the king dom, and he has but few superiors with the bat. The play, in fact, on both sides, was peculiarly brilliant; it was no uncommon thing for 50 or 60 balls to be bowled without a run. His MAJESTY entertained a distinguished party to dinner' ori Saturday, at his Palace in St. Junks's.' Among the company were—the Duke of Custaaatatm, Prince F.rrtaussr, the Atistrianltmtrasador; Prince Lizvas, the Russian Ambassa. dor; Baron Bum*, the Prussian Minister; Baron Humour.
