No definitive step has yet been taken towards the f o rmation of a New Administration—The interreg alum, however, cannot continue much longer.—Mr. M ARTI N, of Galway, has given notice in the House o f another Address to the Panics REGENT, praying b;m to form a New Administration without delay. This motion will be discussed on Wednesday. In the mean time, the exertions of Earl MOIRA are tn erasing ; but the progress made by his Lordship does not seem to have met with his Royal Master's appro. bation. Marquis WELLESLEY had an audience of the . li m a RIO3LNY on Saturday, which lasted for two h ours: and it has been since reported, that the N a taains having urged, in strong but respectful lan page, the imperious necessity of something being dine, the PRINCE'S answer was of a nature to induce thsailletliS to Intimate his intention of giving up a n farther negociations. Earl MOIRA, whose stedfast adherence to the best Otto of his Sovereign and of the country at this sat alarming crisis, can never be sufficiently ap- Sanded, still continues his good offices. His Lord *" was closeted with his Royal Highness upwards of two hours yesterday, and an appointment was stile fur another conference to-day. We cannot remise, however, that any thing decisive will be dated. Something must be done without delay ; the public service requires the passing of a vote for Polley, and a message from the•Pioncis to Parlia sent is taiked of, stating the urgent necessity for sick a measure. This will afford an opportunity of ogler trial of skill in the House of Commons be-. ono the contending parties. • The Bank is said to have advanced a sum of money on Exchequer Bills, eatable the public offices to go on so long. 3s re we proceed, with our usual aim to be per kily impartial, to copy what we regard as the sen tinels of the two leading parties in the State, as immunicated through what may- be deemed to be Sit demi-official organs, we must caution our laden against giving credence to the lists of new Administration which are nightly, to the disgrace of bit inventors,, circulated, in - Second Editions, Isighout the Metropolis and the country, in sere-• eil ssetemparary Evening Papers. All these, we his SO hesitation in saying, are gross and wanton Mialieee, spiinging from the bag and sordid wog, thetheening Clew diitlitalinffat thillpenee d pogo credulity. The following passages, which are extracts from lit Marcia Cironiele and Morning Herald, exhibit east we conceive to be a faithful picture of the con lict now going on in the higher Departments of the Me: • MORNING CHRONICLE. • The'absence of all responsible Government still tentinues ; and we venture to say, that it will con fine, until Parliament shall interfere with vigour and Maims, to save us from the state of anarchy to hush we are rapidly approximating. mWecan assure our readers, that though three weeks have now elapsed since the Government has been de funct, no authority has been given by the PRINCE Re sin to any person to form an Administration, or even to plesent to his Royal Highness the basis of one. Wecun even repeat in so many words what we stated to our readers this day se'iinight, viz. that a communication, indeed, took place between Earl Gnu, Lord GRENVILI,E, and Lord WELLESLEY, upon certain principles proposed by the latter, as the basis for forming a new Administration ; and on these Principles Lords GRENVILLE and GREY explained themselves with a frankness and sincerity which we are utisfied will always be observed in every part of their conduct, and with a sincere disposition to give public ten, if it should be in their power to do so, to the la Vote of the House of Commons. What this may. lead to remains to be seen ; but at present we be.; ft, we shall be found correct in stating, that no ne. Prjageo forming a new Administration has taken ke with these Noble Lords. To which we may adds !ba d e the frequent interview's which Earl MOIRA has With the PAIRCK REGENT, have not drawn from R o al Hi ghness any direction, or even instruc. 4 ,40 propose the plan of an Administration. We tiuterore, that it must rest with the Commons of Parliament to take some step on the mop Lkabat 044. 07 calling for the interference of Parliament on this .. occasion, weare far fr o m a d v i s i ng a ny s tep which ai -4 !aPPear either an i nvas i on o f t h e p reroga ti ve , or 'uctgated for the tenaporary exaltation of one Pan) over another. The Courier may rail and scold, tie p ot - ' groan its fill, but for our too serious for the petty lumns are every day over , time is now arrived at the reasoning men of all although the least noisy, party in the country if concert, must step for. station as the great mediato- I r Ir. sea ilt rLil paver which to to uve et. The faee of thiegs would otherwise be desperate indeed. 114 The late Ministry, too feeble even for contempt, as a Ministry is out of the Question and the indivi duals composing it, having one and all subscribed the creed of intolerance and exclusion—.intolerance, in declaring that they will not even listen to the Ca- tholics, exclusion, ih declaring that they will not act with Lord Witu.ssuty on any conditions, or with MT. CANNING, or with Lords GREY and GRENVILLE, or with Lord Moue, or with any of the friends of these Noblemen, unless they renounce the principles of their whole lives—are of course excluding them selves, so long as they continue obstinately to perse- vere in these wild and bigotted notions. On the other hand we have reason to know that there are those about the Court, who are daily and hourly poisoning the PRINCE REGENT'S mind, with tales of slander against some of the most upright public men that ever graced the most virtuous times of a country, and 6*th u..happily has been the success of their arts, that not one word of truth, either as to the state of the empire, or the sentiments of public men, ever reaches that Royal -Person. 44 This faction, having worke up the resentments l of their Master to the highesoi tch, by carrying to his ear expressions not one worcLuf which were ever uttered by the persons to whom they are attributed are now indulging themselves in the malignant satis_, faction of having placed, as they loudly declare, an eternal bar to the admission of Earl GREY to the pub lic service. We name Earl GREY, because it is against this illustrious character that the artifices of this fac- tion are now princ'ipally at work. It was first Lord Guar; viLLE, whose reserved habits and manners mutt, forsooth, be represented to the PRINCE REGENT as aristocratic haughtiness, and what net ; nay', even as proofs of a deliberate design to enslave his Royal Highness. It is now Earl GREY, who, in addition to all the crimes, (and we own that these are many and deep) derived from the high public estimation in which he is held, his enthusiastic honour, and the commanding superiority of his eloquence and abili- ties, is made responsible for every word which may find utterance against the PRINCE REGENT, in these times of mutual exasperation, and in a country which boasts the freedom both of its preu and of itslanguage. " At the bottom of those insidious conuivances there are men, we are grieved to say, of great natural abilities, men whose penetration can reach every Secret recess of the human heart, and who, by expe rience, know the full value of this unerring rule— that the deepest of all resentments are those produced by the operation of the smaller passions. This faction has seized the unguarded hour, the 6 asollia tempera fan/4' to instil its venom into the royal mind even to satiety#llll.,lhnow denounce its proceedings to the world as t 4 main ague of thou eistaeler +which have so long rendered insfeceual Me vote of the House of Cowmen:, and the universal feeling and expectation of the pub lic. The remedy to this evil, we repeat it, lies in the House of Commons. The temperate and respectable body of men who supported Mr. WORTLEY lit his late motion, must guard bgainst the tricks which are now practising to defeat it, while we are confident that they will be above lending themselves to the low passions of a set of intriguers, vk hose minds at this awful crisis are alive to . no impression except that of personal hatred, and whom no care as to what may become of their country, no one generous public sen timent, no spirit of honest pride to be themselves in- strumental in the great work of our deliverance, can awaken to their duty as men and as Englishmen." MORNING HERALD. “The difficulties of a Ministerial arrangement have so multiplied from the time of our last statement, up to a late hour last night, that but little or no probabi lity now remains of any Adminiarationbeing formed without the farther interference of Parliament: Every mode of conciliation which the most gracious conde scension could possibly suggest, or supreme authority might be supposed to command, has been exercised in vain. A languid continuance of the negotiation was indeed sustained through yesterday, and the usual audiences given at Carlton House, but without any prospect whatever of a successful termination. “ The Cabinet consists of seethe Members. In or der to form that Government of composite parties, which the Address of the Comnionslhad evidently in view, the Pelves REGENT directed that four seats should be tendered to the Leaders of Ofiparition. To this the Lords Gary and GRENVILLE refused to ac cede rand presuming in .the height of Opposition hau teur, that the Address could intend nothing short of their exclusive nomination, required a decided majo rity in the Cabinet ; on which cession they signified ,that they might condescend to act with, but not under Marquis WEI.LESLEY. On the other hand, the Earl of Livetteoot , and his friends continue in a temper not to be prevailed upon to coalesce with the Marquis on any terms, but are disposed to serve with Earl ' MoIRA and a reasonable proportion of his political ad herents, and also to allow his Lordship to be placed at the Head of the Treasury. Hence it is evident, that the Marquis WELLESLEY'S pliel has so totally failed in all its points, as to leave no possibility of an RI Administration arising out of it ; and yet it is under stood, that his Lordship still retains this delegated, but now useless authority, which, by a timely transfer to other hands, might have -proved successful. , a In such a dilenima is the PRINCE REGENT of England placed through the pertinacity of two de. seriptions or Statesmen, by their refusing to coalesce with a fair proportion of his Majesty's confidential Servants, from matters of mere personal aggrandize-, ment, and a total disregard of the calamities and dan gers,which at this moment, press so severely upon the Country! It would puzzle the most able and prn• dent politician to advise what farther steps ought to be taken, under such embarrassments, by the Execu tive Authority, in which is vested the appointment of the King's. Ministers. No alternative seems lefts so that the REGENT must be dragooned into a surrender of his power to a vindictive Opposition, unless, in such an unparalleled extremity, a Convention of the whole PRIVY COUNCIL of the Realm might afford relief, and an Administration be formed under their dignified *unction, for the immediate management of the Pub• S lic Affairs, regardless of all parties and distinctions of Statesmen whatever. His MAJESTY'S Privy Coun cil consists of 155 Members, a number combining, it is reasonable to suppose (with the concurrent aid of the two houses of Parliament,) integrity and talents I sufficient to turn out Volunteers fit, able, and willing to defend the REGENCY at such a crisis, so that a practicable breach shall not be made in it by its enfu riate besiegers, and to continue to serve the State without pay or reward, until the mgrcntary troops re turn to some sense of the allegiance which they owe to their Prince, and fidelity to their Country !" The Morning Post, from which we have been in the habit of making an extract on this impertant subject, does not seem to be so well informed as its contemporaries on the present occasion. Yesterday being the last Sunday in the month, the following Bulletin was shewn at Sr. James's Palace : " WINDSOR CASTLE, MAY :$(1. " His MAJESTY continues nearly in the same state as the last monthly report. (Signed) •` H. HALYORD. M. BAILLIE. II R. WILLIS. J. WILLIS." Saturday evening, about nine o'clock, the Prin. 1 cesses AUGUSTA and Soekra, arrived at the Queen's ~ Palace from Windsor, in a travelling carriage, for the i purpose of being present at the Installation of the I Knights of the Barh. The Queaor and the other 1 PRINCESSES will not be present as was expected. Yesterday morning the Dukes of Yoxx, KineT ) l CUMBERLAND, and CANLBRIDGE, and a number of the female Nobility and Gentry, visited the Princesses at 1 the Queen's Palace. Yesterday afternoon the Princesses visited the Duchess of BRUNSWICK, at her house in Hanover square. In the evening their Royal Highnesses dined with the Duke and Duchess of YORK; the PRINCE REGENT, the Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES, and other branches of the Royal Family were present. Yesterday morning divine service was performed at Carlton-house, before the PRINCE REGEgT, the Prin cess CHARLOTTE, and other branches of the Royal' Family, by the Rev, F. W. BLotaßeitG, Clerk of the' Closet to. his Roral Highness the PRINCE BROOM and the Rey, Y. S. CLARKS. Domestic Chaplain.— The service was attended by the Prince's Household. WILL OE THZ LATE Mr. PIRCILTAL.ThE W 111,1416 written about four years ago, in a half sheet of paper in Mr. PEReEVAL'S own hand writing. Without much preamble, Mr. PLICIIVAL bequeaths to Mrs. PeacivAt.," all his freeholds, copyholds, and other estates in reversion, expectancy, or remainder."

The Will is witnessesi ty e Mr. PRIMEVAL'S Private ; Secretary , Mr. Beams, the Ban r, and by Mr. Hwy's** I Groom. It is net a Hole extraordinary, that on the back of the Will is written, " delivered a copy of this to JANE, Ist April, 1 1812." JANE is the Christian name of Mrs. PeRCLVAL. THE PARK, AND KENSINGTON GARDENS.—Yesteer- I day the fineness of the day, and brilliant exhibition of Fashionables, in Hyde-Park, attracted an immosse concourse of pedestrians in the public walks. The charioteers made their appearance about two o'clock, in one regular and continued cavalcade, from I the four principal gates of entrance, viz. North, by Oxford-street—East, by the Grosvenor and Stanhope ; gates—and South, by the principal one in Piccadilly. The Foxr-in Hand whips mustered strongly. There were present— Lord Hawke, Mr. Buxton, Sir Charles Bamfylde, Mr. Sher rard, Mr. Champion, and Lord Sefton ; the Countess de Sallie (a new importation) , sported a munificent landau, the pannela of which were, unlike every other carriage in the ring, of gold leaf, richly emblazoned with heraldic ornaments. Among the other novelties was an East Indian, who exhibited an elegant and singularly light equipage, with four-in-hand. Among the Fashionables were— His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucestei; the French Dukes De Bourbon and de Berri ; the Prince and Princess Ces telcicala ; Duchesses Donet, Chandos, Beaufort, Leeds, Buc cleugh, and Brurswkk ; Marchionesses of Headtort, Salisbury, Bath,Thornond, and. Wellesley; Countesses of Mansfield, Pens broke, Clenmell, Cholniondeley, Camden. Sefton, and Scarbo rough ; Ladies Dtngazinon, Hampden, Castlereagh, Cranky, Lake, G. Beresford, C. Darner, Harrireon, Somers, Carrinress, and Beauchamp ; Mistregses Boehm, Walpole, Beaumont, Owen, Thomson, Knox, Robinson, Rose, St. Leger, and G. Lambe. A drunken sailor, brimful of loyalty and grog, staggering up Combat on Saturday, and seeing sonic Thousands of. Guineas in the window of CARROLL, at No. 7, immediately turned into the Office to purchase a Share, saying, he would rather have one picture of His Majesty, Heaven bless him I than all tie paper in Threadneedle-street. LANCASTER.—,On Tuesday the following prison - ers ; were tried for setting fire to and burning the weav• ing-mills at West Houghton s—J. Fletcher, J. Smith, I'. Kerfoot, A. Cbarlton, J. Shuttleworth, S. Rat. cliffe, J. Charlton, W. Kaye, L. Molyneux, Mary Cannon, Bold Howarth, J. Bromillow, and A. Bul: lough. The four first were found guilty, and the latter were acquitted. Their trial commenced at eight o'clock in the morning, and continued till half past ten the same evening. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—Monday morning last, an accident happened at Felling, near Newcastle, more direful in its consequences than any other of the same nature within our recollection. During the time of the pitmen being fully employed in the coal pits be longing to Messrs. BRANDLING and Co. an explosion , took place, from what cause is not ascertained, by which about 90 men and boys have lost their lives; at least there is scarcely reason to hope to the contrary, as it was found necessary to shut up the pits ! he I number saved is not more, we understand, than tan I or twelve.
