On reference to •the Court Circular, it will be seen, - that, at the (;ountil held yesteiiiay at Windsor, Mr. livattmoN received the Seals of the Colonial Depart trent; Mr. Humes, those of CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and that Mr. CHARLES GRANT was ap pointed President of the Board of Trade and Payrosstet of the Navy. These appointments complete the Minis try; and there is not a good subject of his MAJESTY, or (which is the same thing, both practically and theoreti call yat this time) not an enlighteneir fr lend of the count , y that does rot rejoice at the consummat ion of a work,whicb redounds as much to the honour of all the parties immediately concerned, as it is calculated to inspire the friends of good government all over the world with unmixed satisfaction. The KING, as a e stated yes•er day, has acted a noble part in thcse uan.actions, and it has already sunk deeply in the hearts of his people, who now see the season why his name had been so long identified, by a set of factious writers, with their own passions and base principles. In the mean tine, the, Ministry have acquired new claims to public coES 'ence by the manner in which they, individually and collec tively, exerted themselves to carry the wi.hrs of his MAJEm Y into effect; and they enter upon their import ant functions with the unqualified good wishes of the Public, and the entire favour of their Sovenerox to back their exertions. With this support, there cannot be the least doubt, but that their success will be commensur ate with the seal and integrity for which all impartial men give them credit. All the leading departments if Government too are filled by men, who unite great ex petience with enlightened views, and whose minds ate penetrated at the .ame time with respect for those great priociples, to which the country is at once indebted for her freedom and prosperity.
