At soes v f ,kmk yetterd#, and not before, his Royal H obart* ?VMS RaoveT sent for Marquis Wat.- su m, imd formally signified to that Nobleman a wish that his Lordship should proceed to form an Ad m i n istration over which he should preside as Pre min. The Noble Marquis instantly communicated h i s R o y a l Highness's commands to Mr. CANNING, who cosseted to take a prominent part in the Ca binets a nd proceeded to the House of Commons, where he made the declaration, which will be found clo udy gireo in our Parliamentary Report. Mr. ii m i m mon, the friend of Mr. CANNING, also takes an active share in the New Administration, probably i dist of Chancellor of the Exchequer, for which his talents and financial acquirements most eminently qualify him. Earl Moina, whose 11 Lofty spirit seated in a heart of honobr," idd dignity and strength to any Cabinet of *di be forms a part, has also accepted of a distill. oiled situation. Thus have-four out of the twelve sionties in the Cabinet, been filled up with men of demist approved talent in'the Empire; and if splen isd abilities can procure popularity, surely their ap pnithient ought to give iatisfaction to a large por tion of the community. of the Constitution, with a concord and energy that , afford the belt promiie of the integrity with Which they will conduct the affairs of the State, if the reins if be put Into theif hands; We rejoice to see the &in and manly stand that has been inade l and rove are sure that when the Panrcs Rimy shall be free from the evil coun sellors who have poisoned his ear with the gross and scandalous insinuations, that there ought to be no scruple in any subject's mind to comply with every wish that he might express he will be the first to ad mire the rectitude and dignity of the statesmen, who, with true English feelings, could not bring them- selves tc, sacrifice the principles of their lives fot -the emoluments, without the power of office." The precise situation which Mr. CANNING is to hold has not been mentioned. Whatever it may be, however, he will unquestioilahly take the lead in that House, where he has so often displayed the transcen dent powers of a great and vigbrous mind. In elo quence he has few equals, and certainly no superior, and in his publiC capacity, he has never shaken that chivalrous spirit of honour, and integrity, which is the characteristic of true genius. ~. , i Yesterday his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT gave a grand dinner at Carlton House, to their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of KENT, CUMBERLAND, Soma, and Cassintrooa, the Princesses Anourra, MARY, CHARLOTTE Of WALES, and the Duchess of Yenx, Lady DE CLIFFORD, kc. . Yesterday Earl MOIRA and the Marquis WEL- Lamr/ had long audiences of the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton Noble. His Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE did not leave Bushy yesterday for Windsor, on account of indisposition. , Yesterday the Knights of the Bath, installed at Westminster Abbey, dined at the Clarendon Hotel. His Royal Highness the Duke of Yost, as acting Master of the Order, presided in the Chair. VAUXHALL GARDENS.—The unfavourable state of the weather prevented the Proprietors from throWing open these delightful fairy scenes- to the Public last night. To-morrow is now fixed for the Grand Fete With which they are to commence the season ; and we have no doubt the harvest will be abundant and profitable. The trifling rise in the price of admission, which has w . th great reluctance been - resorted to by the liberal Proprietors, is, in our opinion, an inade-' quate coMpensation for their immense outlay in addi &alai decorations. Several select parties of fashion ables have visited the Gardens in a private manner, and have witnessed the rehearsals, within these few days ; and all have been filled with delight and admi ration at the splendid treat prepared for the Public. How striking must be the iinpression on the mind, therefore, when the 20,900 laTnps throw their brilliant lustre on the festive scenes! We have no doubt that every night's entertainment will be a bumper. BEL LINOHAM.—A letter from this desperate assassin to a friend in Liverpool, dated May 11, 1812, the very day on which he perpetrated his crime, con chides with the following paragraph, sufficiently sig nificant of the wicked purpose formed and cherished in the villain's Mind; and contemplated with so little repugnance or remorse as merely to be talked of by him in a light and sporting sort of starle e I wish my affairs were come to a conclusion—every thing, in point of law, is in my favour; Dui Mr..PlacavAt. and the Ministry have sbewn themselves more 'inclined to (jvoyr Lord Gowen than do justice to ine ; however, as I am resolved on having justice, in case of need, I will very shortly play a court card to compel them to finish the game. lam your's sincerely, " JOHN 11C1.1.114011AM BREAD.—This day the Lord Mayor ordered it to continue at its present price—Quartern loaf Is. 6d. The wetness of yesterday frustrated the intentions of 'many who intended to visit Cornhill, to feast their s upon the Guineas exhibited at the Lottery Of fices. Hail, rain, or snow, vie suppose they will not be prevented from doing so to-day and to-morrow, for, as the Lottery draws on THURSDAY, these sh o ver s of Gold will of course go into the pockets of the lucky Adventurers. The following are some additional particulars re lative to the gallant affair, in which the GOSHAWK and HYACINTH were lately engaged off Malaga; and which we noticed on Friday GosisAwn arrived at Gibraltar from Spithead on the 28th of April, and sailed the same day for Malaga, where she arrived the following morning, and found the HYACINTH, of 2Q guns, Captain Usnsa, and the RESOLUTE gun-brig. Immediately on her joining, it was determined to attack a privateer, commanded by the noted BIHNADOS, laden with gold and silver images, the sacrilegious plunder of the French army, and several other vessels which were alongside the wall of the Mole. For this purpose 167 men and officers were selected from the three ships, and pro. ceeded for the attack. At nine in the evening of the 29th, Captain Liam, with two of his Lieutenants and GO men, landed, and after a sharp brush, took a battery of 13 guns, which were spiked and thrown over the parapet. . A detachment was sent to attack another •battery of four guns, which our brave tars could not carry ; and the fire from which considera bly annoyed Captain LILILURN'S party, who went to the attack of the vessels. It consisted of Lieutenants OTTEY and ARNOLD, the Surgeon of the Gosztawst; and about 60 men. The boats were suffered to ap. proach within half-pistol shot, when the enemy com menced a desperate resistance, shewing, that thongh they had been silent, they had not been asleep. In attacking a gun.boat, which was not carried without a gallant resistance, • Captain LILISURN received a mortal wound. Lieutenant ARNOLD, in the jolly boat, carried another gun.boat, but received a severe wound in his right arm, which, it is feared, he will lose the use of, and a flesh wound in the thigh.— These vessels, with the privateer, were brought out : and the party which landed re-embarked with their wounded, though the beach was lined with military. The loss of the GOSHAWK was five men killed and 15 wounded—total loss 60 killed and wounded.— Captain Lualunies body was carried to Gibraltar, and interred with military honours. The GOSHAWK landed the wounded there. Captain Lu.auasr, of the GOSUAWX, who has fallen in the rencontre, was son of the late Mr. Liman, Master in the Royal Navy. He was esteemed a goad officer, and has left a wife and l what manner, or frosts what materials, the other pm of the Cabinet are to be selected, we know not : bit we can state Positively, that, subsequent to Mr. , Ranonlr's declaration in the House of Commons 1 'ast bight, Marquis WELLESLEY made a eommlinica in to Earl GREY and Lord GRENVILLE. The let wko the former was transmitted to his Lordship at kis house in Portman4quase, and an express was sent *Ltd Gastsvutz at Dropmore. A meeting took piton at a late hour at Lord Gary's house, where all the principal Members of both Houses who concur la opinion on political topics assembled. The result d the deliberations at this meeting was laid before I. ism* Rxnert this afternoon by Marquis Wet- Ws ; but the precise nature of their determination lei IXE transpired. In the mean time various rumours are in circula tion respecting the sentiments of opposition. In some oinks It is positively asserted, that the overtures nude to the tw Noble Lords at their head were to alluring as „to have been instantly accepted, and tit the cooperation of their friends, the Marquis irLINIIDOWNE and Lord HOLLAND, may at all events be reckoned upon as certain. This assertion is, however, directly contradicted, sad we believe with greater probability in other guar l i - tax It is stated that the extension of our exertions in the Peninsula, so frequently insisted on by the 111211RiSWILLESLET and Mr. CANNING in Parliament, added to their avowed opinions op the subject of Ca tholic emancipation, have been considered so discor dant with the pledges by which the party termed the Opposition consider themselves bound to the public, that no coalition can be forined. Indeed the lan riage of the Morning Chronicle of to-day, on this subject, tends greatly to confirm us in the opinion we lyre ventured, as being supported on the.most pro loldv batik The following is the manner in which the :object is alluded tot MORNING CHRONICLE. " It will be seen by Mr. CANNING'S statement yes terday m the House of Commons, that the intrigues Idgeb hoe been carrying on so indefatigably for these het three weeks, to keep the late Miaisters in their dreraal.bare at length given way to the united voice d the public. We must not flatter ourselves, how me, that they are yet at an end. It remains to be Kea what is the Nature of the proposal which the Prank Resler bas authorized the Marquis WEL RIM to submit to Lord; GRIT and GRENVILLE, W in thou respective friends. Until we know this, malt be cautious how we trust to appearances.— We have had too much experience already of the ad 'ivors of the lite delays, and of the dexterity of tbe • • principal one, whom we yesterday pointed out to the public; we know too well the endless resources 4 his legal metaphysics, to believe that they are even Aver exhausted. It is to be hoped that he was not 4411 4 1 ted, as Keeper of the RESENT': conscie:•ce, on tio offer to be made to Lords GREY and GRENVILLE.
