Never was there a greater delusion than that which iras now called a 'Cabinet. In a very few weeks not half of those of whom it was composed would be found in it. Report said that the Right Honourable Gentleman was to be joined by some Noble lads; but why did not they come forward? lemight suit their 'convenience to remain Debited; but it was not a convenience to the country, the business of which stood 'MIL tlr looked with alarm to the dangers which might ensue to the Protestant Esta blishment, from an Administration constituted like the present. From the manner in which that Cabinet had been titled up, he was cenhin'eed there must be a sacrifice of principle on one side or the other. One Hon. Baronet (Sir ti. Warrender) had exem plified it—for be mid; last night, he would sacrifice his dinner to support Ministers—(A loud laugh). He begged pardon ; the Hon. baronet had nut mentioned the word dinner ;' but 'when the Hon. Baronet talked about his sacrifsces, be ( Mr. Y. Peel) was con vinced, it must b.we been running la his head-.-(A laugh). Sir GEORGE W A RRE'NDILR (who had heartily joined hi I the latish) assured his lionoureble Friend that he should give his support to the present Administration, at the sacrifice not only ul his dinner, bat al-n of his other amusements—(Pcals of laughter)—and he thought he should be repaid, so lung as he should continue to lae amused by witneming the soreness of the Hon. Gentlemen who had quitted office—(Cheers and laughter). How ever, after the termination of the Session, he hoped to renew with his Huth Friend those sucial habits, which had bmn productive of so much pleasure to him. Lord CASTLEREAGH rote to compliment the Right Ho nourab!e Gentleman (Sir. Peel) and those who, with him, had recently quitted once; and declared how happy he should have been is the ability-to make such an exhibition of true English feeling as that of the Honourable Baronet (Sir Thomas Leth bridge). He owed it to the House, to the country, to his consti. turns, and to himself, to ray, he should continue to oppose the Administration an long as it should be constituted as at prreent.— Th-te was one question, however, on which the present Ministry Mail& doubtlessly, have his zealous support. That question—the Catholic--uoght to be left to stand on its own footing. The /Unitary may act as they please on any ether question; but let not the interests oi Ireland be compromised—let her be informed at once of their intentions—of the manner in which' she was to be trrated—and of the fete that awaited her.— He bad not been long in that House; but ineepetienceil as he con fessed himself to be, he thought he saw, in the present condition of plank Alain, a state of things that made him tremble for the result; aye, and many other Honourable Members, too, who ISM more conversant in politics—in practical devil—scud in trickery, too—than he was. Let the House be made acquainted with the principles on which the Ministry had been constructeds and of the courie of policy which they intended to pursue. With all his admiration of the splendid talents of the Right 'loneness able Gentleman ( Nit% Canning) he (Lord Castlereagh) could ewe but one occasion, In the whole course of that Right lion.

He had not been pl. dged to the former Ministry, much less was he pledged to the new ; but this he would say, that until they clear) , declared their principles, be would give his man ornquahfied and encompro astern, oppeatios to sack an imbecile and eaccilatlng Administration. The on/toe/question was then put and carried; and the House Adjourned at Half past Six o'Clock.

I eery young Memt•er, spike on the, mine side; too l though they eipie;seJlhrtitselvei itaasgly agairist•thk i present Administration, they elicit*no, reply whatever. In the L-irds the discussion, it will be . Seen, took a more animated turn; and it had this singtilar feature amongst others—that Noble Lords, who are not in the habit of taking a prominent part in the proceedings of the House, and whose orator ical powers had been before hidden from their friends, and perhsps froth themselves, blazed for the first time in the front of the assault on the ministerial benches. In the course of this fierce onset, Ministers exhibited, from beginning to end, a most vexatious imperturbability of tempers The Paris Papers still continue to agitate the affair of the National Guards with unabated ardour. Those which arrived last night in due course, are exclusively occupied with it, which may be regarded as w fair criterion of the intense interest it has excited. As to the vigour of t .e meastre there can be but one opinion; but its wisdom is another que,fon. It now appears that the resignation of the Duke of _l3.)troaauviwt, which we noticed on Thursday last, was the effect of a want of sr coincidence" liet ween him a.‘d the ot'.er mem bers of the Cabinet, respecting the pulley of, the flied ure. In the meantime, tl.e rumour gains ground, that a f etal change of Ministry is near at hand; a n d, as .the KING mu t now be persuaded of the delestation in which his Miaisters are generally hel J, it is probable he will throw hem overboard, that he m .y not be involved in the hatred, w ith which they are viewed by the great body of the nation. We received this enortung the Amnon. Zeilineg to the 213. h u't. containing advice, from Coaltantino i detu the 11:h ult. At that date. the negotiations for the pacification of Greece had made no sensible progress, as the Porte still refused to listen to the concess'ons, demand-A by the European Powers. The accounts hem the iirchipsie - gosvere said to be still onfavous able to the lurks. though no authentic'informa ion ha l been received of Oe raising of the siege of Athens, and of the total detest of 'he Seraskier, RIeDSCHID PACHA. Should these last reports be coflfirmed, it was thought, that the Porte would seek the intervention of the Christian Powers, which it still declined. It does not appear. from these advices, that Lord CoctiRANE'S arrival in Greece was known in the Turkish capi , al; and as the Turks expressed the greatest anxiety, when they first heard that it was his lArdship's intention to join their enemies, it may be supposed what an impression the event itself, when known, will make upon them.— Its first effect, in all probability, will be to pre. vent the sailing of the Turkish fleet, which the Divan know well would be an easy prise to so able an Officer, if it once ventured to pass the Arche.. As, however, theco-operation of the fleet is absolutely necessary to enable the Porte to carry on operations upon a large seek by land, it maybe seen at once 1»w Lord COMBAS - 16 arrival ittusi,Raritly:f its enersks . and, at the sates: time, embarrass its Councils. We also received, this morning, the Arabian uoserver to the 24 Is ultimo; but it contains no news from Greece, and not so much as an allusion to Torkish affairs: it denounces, however, as false, a report which aveared in some Continental Papers, that it was the ititention of the Austrian Government to assemble in the sum - ner two Armies of Observation; one in the Milanese of 60,000 men, to prevent France and Spain from interfering in the domestic concerns of Portugal—the other, to the same amount, in Transylvania, for the purpose of enforcing the demands made upon the Porte by England and Russia. The Auserian Observer, though not generally inclined to risibility, affects to indulge in a hearty laugh at this ninon-. We have received, by Express, Lisbon Papers of the 25d and '4th April. They contain two cfEc'al ar ticles from the Department of Ecclesiastical Affairs and Justice ; the first addressed to the Chancellor of the Tribunal, called Casa de Supplicagao, with a copy of the Decree of Amnesty, and ordering that all the trials now pending before that Tribunal, implieatinz persons to whom the dispositions of that Decree are applicable, and all those causes of the same nature, which shall be henceforth referred to it by the local Magistrates and Tribunals, shall be tried in preference to all other causes. The other is addressed to the Corregidor of the Comarca da Gonda, to the same effect; and that the spirit of perverse irtgratitude and disloyalty .may not abuse this act of Royal clemency, to forge or.perpetrate sew acts of sedition and revolt, with the hope of im punity, her Royal Highness further orders that, if any person or persons shall, in the future, dare to propa gate sediti .us opinions, or commit acts tending to ex cite rebellion, and renew the horrors of civil war, the Magistrates, in preference to all other affairs, shall in stitute proceedings against them in the shorted time possible. Similar orders are sett to all the Corregidoes in th e Kingdom.—Dated 21st April. The following is an extract : LISBON, Aram 21. Today a general meeting of the Committee appointed torment an opinion respecting the propriety of the Bank's taking the whole, or a part of the Loan of 4000 contos, tnd alto with respect to the in.l creasing of its capital, gave this opinion, the substance of which is, that the capital should not be increased, and that the Directors s►ould be authorised to take such part of the Loan as they should judge compatible with the resources of the Bank on such terms as they should judge advisable. This opinion was adopted. We know all that the Committee declared, that after making all necessary examination, they had found the Bank in the best possible order, and very considerable sums in its coffers—sußicient to meet all the nt payments, and to take a good part of the loan of 4,000 cantos.- 0 Peetuittes.

One observation pressed itself, by the running of the last Alla the present Meetings, viz.—that the Oaks fillies are remarkably good (we mean those which have so often been winners), and that those,Derhy horses which have already ap• peered, are not a jot better than last year's lot. .
