LEt's Ad m inistration, the influence which was o ff ere d to these Noble Lords and their colleagues being consi dered as too limited to enable them to maintain that pre ponderance in the Cabinet to which they consider themselves entitled. The flowing may be regarded as a ki n d o f d em i. official statement of what passed at the interview be tween Marquis WELLESLEY and the two Noble Lords in question : The Marquis WELLESLEY is said to have declared to Earl Gnus that in his arrangements there would be four Cabinet appointments for his Lordship's Party: upon which Earl GREY answered,—' Then your Lordship intends to have a majority in the CA binet:' to which the Marquis answered in the afftr snative.—Earl GREY is said to have added,- , -.6 and whom does your Lordship consider as the must pro perperson to be at the head of the Administration ?' The Marquis, we undestand, replied, ' myself, 'cer tainly ; I am to form- the Administration, and I con ceive I may reasonably eipect to fill that situation.' Upon receiving this answer, Earl GREY signified that the Negotiation was at an end, and took his leave." Under these circumstances it would appear that Marquis WELLESLEY, by reserving only four places for the Leaders of Opposition or char Colleagues, feels himself perfectly competent to form an Admi nistration without having recourse to them again ; and if his Lordship has already found eight efficient Members of his own selection, surely the remaining four will be easily obtained among his Lordship's numerous friends. On the other hand, the Opposi tion seem determined, if not to come into office in a body, at least to insist upon having a majority in the Cabinet, with a view, no doubt, to carry into effect the great public measures to which they have re peatedly plecic:ed themselves. The Debate in the House of Commons to-night, on Mr. MARTIN'S motion, will probably have the effect of setting the public mind at rest on this im portant subject. Marquis WELLESLEY, through the Medium of Ms. CANNING, is expected to communi cate a full detail of the negotiations with which he has been eau usted. CADIZ MAIL. The Princess Elizabeth packet has arrived at Fal !entail from Cadii, with Mails. She left Cadiz'on the 17th ult. The enemy had renewed their born.. bardnitnt on the 15th, in the Morning, which was kept up mil to o o'clock in the day, hut only seven shot fell in the town. A het fire was at the same tine kept up on Puntales, but it was as briskly re turned. No person within the Spanish fortifications was killed or wounded. When the packet sailed Ot the,evecing of the 17th, the enemy had commenced another bombardment. Sotwr has been succeeded by Sucurr in the command of the besieging army, and Battcsrenos, the Spanish General, has been obliged to retire from before Malaga, which he threatened hard at one time. The Spanish P..pers brought by the above Mail, rd snme gratifying particulars respecting the state of affairs in Spain. The renegado Spanish troops, why had mom allegiance to King Joswr, are de setting in whole regiments at a time to lIALLEsrEttos, who seems to stand - very high in the estimat§en of his celmtrymen: He is, indeed, indefatigable, and by studiously persevering_in the plais of avoiding all ge metal action., contrives. to harrass the French most severely. The following ate eatracts from the above Papers: " ?ADAMS, Mt 1. " Lodgings are preparing here for the Duke of Ciudad Rodrigo, who is expected every instant.. We likewise expect three English divisions, which are 0!) their math for the Andalusial. The collediag of provisions in this place continues." 44 AIAIESTRAS, &Us 10. " On the 27th ult. Rey of Baguere, with 3000 in fantry and 400 horse, presented themselves before Ilutgo, and encamped a qqarter of a league in ad tante of that place, except the cavalry and a regi• merit of infantry that entered it. urn. Ballasteros, who was in Yunqtiera, A league from Burgo, with only the battalion of Larbastro and Catalans and a squadron of Übrique, immediately marched in per son to reconnoitre the enemy, after having given or ders to withdraw to St. Roque the Spaniards and French wounded in the action of Campellas ; all the evening they remained these, and at night the General ordered 300 chosen men, under the com mend of the brave Captair of the Catalans, Moncas, to attack Burgo with the bayonet ; this was accom- Plished, and the enemy at two in the morning were beaten and dislodged. The place witnessed the va lour of those brave men and their tvorthy Captain. At break of day a movement was observed on the Part at the enemy, indicative of a retreat, when a general attack was disposed in the following manner —3OO men under the the orders of the intrepid Field Adjutant J. Quevedo, caused them great loss, and at the same time the Genetal did the same with the remainder, and his guard - twat and pursued them with the loss of some prisoners." • . 4 CADIZ, MAY 7. " Yesterday we published accounts from Seville down to the Ist instant. In Cadiz it is reported that Soult, pretending ill health, has delivered the corn• mand to Gazan, with whom, in the Junta of the 19th April, there were strong debates, whether Seville should or should not be abandoned. It is also stattd, that the S7th regiment has gone over to Ballasteros, and that 30,000 of the Allies are directing their match upon Seville. It is presumed by many that Lord Wellington will quickly return to Andalnsia, for she purpose of examining Soult more nearly others suppose he•will continue to hunt Marmont. —On the 6th, General Ballasteros was in Games (two leagues from Algesiras) ; the Ist division in St. Roque, the 3d in.Algesiras, the horse in Los 'Barrios, the vanguard in Gaucen, and the light troops in Yunqueras ; Courroux in Villamacten, Soult (nephew of the Arch barbarian) in Campellos y Cuevas del Beat-co with some infantry and cavalry. They write from A lgesiras that French deserters and Juramentados arrive there every day, among-whom are many civil and artillery men from Malaga, who say that their comrades remain shut up in Castle Gibralfaro, in Malaga." " Daisy 13.—A1l fears we had of Soult's new plan agiinst Tarifa have vanished ; yesterday he again began his march towards Seville, with 2000 men." AMERICA. This morning we received Letters and Papers from various parts in North America, but not of a more recent date than former accounts. From New York, the Papers are of the 27th April—from Sandy Hook there are letters of the 4th ultimo. In language they are hostile, and the acts of the Executive wear a si. milar complexion ; but from the general tenor of the information before us, it would appear, that it actual hostilities be resorted to this measure will not take place till the expiration of the Embargo, which is purposely appointed for the 4th of July, the grand anniversary of the American Revolution. Some of the letters say expressly, th tt it no conciliatory mea sure on the part cf Great Britain be announced before that period, the day of the anniversary will be ren dered farther memorable by a.declaration of war. Money is represented as being abundant in the United Staes. 'This, however, is a point on which half politicians often entertain mistakes : whenever restrictions on trade suspend mercantile speculations, a certain portion of money is necessarily thrown idle, which gives a false appearance of wealth. Be this as it may, it was expected that the Loan, which was • to be opened on lit May, would be &kW pp is a very few days. _ _ On the progress in the Military Department we have the following paragraph : " The recruiting business, for the new army, goes on bravely in this city (New Yolk), and it is prose cuted with equal success in other parts of the State." A private letter observes,' that 3000 recruits had offered themselves, in New York, in a short interval of seven days. The Governor of Virginia, with the advice of the Council of the State, under the supposition of a war with England, had ordered a very large quitntity of arms to be delivered out to the Volunteers iu the va rious districts under his jurisdiction. By the extracts from the French and German pa pers, which will be found in another part of our Paper, it will be seen that the French army,intended for the invasion of Russia, has passed the Vistula in three divisions. BoNitrAnTeand his consort have arrived at Dresden on their 'tvay to head-quarters.— The Emperor ALEXANDER has also arrived at Wilms, on his way 'o the Russian frontiers. There is no truth in the rumour of a battle having been fought between the contending armies, as stated ill the Pa pers a few days ago. After the dinner given by the-Petro Rcoent oft Monday, to his Royal L auditer, - Brothers, and Sis ters, his Royal Highness h.sd a select party to meet there to music. The D►+ke of CUMSERLAND'S band attended from Kew. There was also some choice *ocal musk. Yesterday, about 11 o'clock, Princesses AUGUSTA end Miler kft the QUEEN'S Palace for Windsor, in their travelling carriage, drawn by the Duke of CUSIBEULAND'S four beautiful greys, to Cranford Bridge, where the Paiscrsses' horses were in wait ing, to take them on to Windsor. Yesterday the Marquis WELLESLEY and Earl MOIRA had long audiences of the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton house. At the Roxburgh Sale, yesterday, a collection of halfpenny Ballads and Garlands, pasted hi three vols. sold fo'r 4781. 15s. I Lieutenants BANES and Wens, of the NORTHUM BERLAND, and Gitowtza gun-vessel, are promoted to the rank of Commanders, for their exertions in the recent destruction of the French frigates off L'Orient. Among the numerous preparations for celebrating the Birth-day of our veteran and beloved Monarch, none promises to rank higher in public estimation than those making at RANKLAGU, Millbank, for the Grand Naval and Military Fete TO-morrow, when that justly favourite and enchanting place opens for the summer Season. The Vocal and Instrumental Per 'Prmers engaged for the Season are of the first ccle erity. THE ARMY. PRIVATE LETTER PROM CADIZ, DATE IfAT 17: The Earl of Wz LLINOTON is expected every day down with sO,OOO men, to attack SOUL?, who, it is said, is now opposite. We have bad a deal of bomb-throwing, and are expecting the French to open upon us every minute : one shell was thrown last night, I saw it burst, but they do little or no harm here-- Out of 50(1 shells thrown a short time ago, only one man lost his leg Cadiz is, at present, quite gay :we have booths erected and have horse racing and bull-fighting." Friday last the BISHOP of LINCOLN visited the Royal Military College, for the purpose of cor,firming the gentlemen Cadets at that Institution. The cere mony took place in the Church of Great Marlow, in the presence of the Governor s Lieutenant. Governor, and other Officers of the College. The number con firmed was about two hundred. Sunday Dr. TITUS BERRY, brother of Sir EnwAnn, arrived at Portsmouth, and took his passage in the Loranom, for Cadiz, where he is anxiously expected, to assist Sir JAMES FELLowEs in the medical department. This gentleman, at the age of '23, 11.1 d the entire charge of all the surgical cases in the unfortunate ex pedition to South America. Detachments for the 22d, 72d, and 87th Regiments at the Isle of France, have embarked during the last week, from the army depot, Isle of Wight. The depot of the 55th Regi►nent at Winchester, which lately arrived from Jamaica, is ordered to proceed to Carlisle. Friday se'nnight a fine lad; about 14 years of age, son of Lieutenant JOHN MAHONY, of the Kerry Mi litia, fell into the river near Cork, and was unfortu nately drowned. Detachments of Gunner Dtivers, and 110 horses of the Royal Artilot y, embarked ou Saturday, at Portsmouth, for Portugal. The East Suffolk Militia have left Portsmouth, and marched for Gosport. Lieutenant-General WHETHAM inspected the King's County Militia,onTuesday last,on Southsea Common. Lieutenant-General WH ET lIA M inspected the North Devon and North Cork Militias, on Saturday, at Gosport. The General Courtnirtial hehl at Hilsea, hating closed its proceedings, the Officers who composed the same have returned to their duties. Major-General DIRoM, of Mount Annan, has for some months past been entrtt•ted with the military command of the North-west District of England, of weith Liverpool is the head-quarters. ' ' There is now every reason to hope that the force which has been sent to Manchester under Lieutenant General MAITLAND, with the steps which are taking by the civil power, will be effectual in restoring tranquillity. The accounts of the disturbance in the Western Regiment of Sussex Local Militia, on duty at Chi chester, have been much exaggerated throughout the crunty. It arose from some intrusion of one tit the Officers into a convivial meeting of some of the Pri vates at a public inn, which occasioned a contest, in which the Officer was. so severely handled, that he has not been able to attend duty since. A regimental Court Martial sat on the offenders last week, which has sentenced• two or three of them to a few weeks' 'imprisonment. The men have evinced the greatest disposition to harmony and good conduct. The Lord Lieutenant, the Duke vf NORFOLK, arrived there on Thursday, and immediately proceeded to an enquiry into the affair. The central regiment, which was stationed at Brighton, have returned home. The University of Cambridge was thrown into great consternation on Saturday last, by the appear ance of tire in one of the apartments of Trinity Col lege, at nine o'clock in the evening ; it was, how. ever, extinguished without damaging any other p.m of the building. There had been no &iv or light in the apartment for the previous twenty-four hours, and this is the third or fourth instance of fire break ing out in different Colleges of this University, with. out any discoverable cause. Much serious investiga tion has consequently taken plAce, but hitherto with out effect. Yesterday a Court of Aldermen was held at Guild hall, at which the Loan Maxon, sixteen Aldermen, and City Officers, attended. The Loan MAYOR stated, that the Cnurt had waited upon the notice RECENT, with their Address relative to the assassination of the Right Hon. &JEN. Cat FRIWEVAL ; that liis ROYAL HIGHNESS received them very graciously, and was pleased to return a gracious answer, which his Lordship delivered to the proper officers : it was read, and ordered to be en tered in the Repertory. • The Court ordered the names of the following Gentlemen to be laid before the Livery, on Midstun mtr-day next, for their choice of two of them, to serve the offices of Sheriffs of London and Middle sex, viz. RICHARD LEA, Esq. Citizen and Weaver; JOHN GARRATT, Esq. Citizen and Goldsmith; Rt- CHARD HOLLAND, Esq. Citizen and Stationer-; AN THONY Brtows, Esq. Citizen and Fishmonger; FRANCIS PAYNTER, Esq. Citizen and Needlemaker ; JAMES STEERS, Esq. Citizen and Shipwright ; WIL LIAM STCER, Esq. Citizen and Girdler ; JOHN Inuit, Esq. Citizen and Feltmaker ; JOHN GRAY, Esq. Citizen and Glass-seller. Yesterday morning a man of a very gentlemanly appearance, dressed in black silk stockings and small clothes, a Marseilles waistcoat and dressing-gown, a white night-cap on his head, and carrying a small poker on his left arm, walked through Set. James's Park to York-house, and knocked at the door with a degree of consequence ; and, on its being opened, he presented a letter for the Duke of York, observing that it WAS upon state affairs, and must be given to him directly. The porter told him it was impossible to deliver the letter to his Royal Highness imme diately, but he should have it very shortly, with which he appeared satisfied ; observing the contents were of the utmost concern for the Duke to know, and he should call again about ten o'clock. He then left York-house, and proceeded along the Park, fol lowed by an immense crowd, which his eccentric appearance had c ollected. Sir HOME POPHAM arrived at Plymouth on Friday, with part of his family, from Portsmouth. ,;:.. is . - • SECOND EDI1410"4. STAR OFFICE, FOUR o'CLOCK. TOTAL FAILURE OF AI,I 4 ,ATTEMPTS' TO FORM A NEW AD-Wr o intATlON. This morning Lords Gatti4M GttEutttu.s trans. mitted in writing to M irquis WELLE.stAv a direct refusal to join any Adminkration on the basis sug. gested by thAt Noblman. Immzdialely on :ecciving this commi,nic.ition, the Noble Mirquis waited ou his Roy.il Highness the PRINCE REGENT, and read the contents of the letter which he had joss re ceived. His Lordship then respectfully declined' all further interference in any negociation for a Ncw Ministerial Arrangement, and virtoadly resigned his powers into the hands of the PRINCE Who gave them. —His Royal Highness, instantly after fthe Noble Marquis retired, sent Cul. nel *Matto', for the Earl (if Mnitta, who attended at Carlton-House in a few minutes. His Lordship, as we understand. ti. ceived full powers from his Royal Highnecs to pr... 1 ceed in the formation of a new Administration.

At half-past tour o'clock the House assembled the dispatch of business as usual. The gallesles' an d avenues to the House were uncommonly crowded with persons of all descriptions, in the eager expecta tion of hearing the New Ministerial Arrangements announced: Immedia ely after prayers were over and the Mout* counted, Mr. CANNING rose (amid cries of Hear, hear, hear,) and stated to the House that he was authorised by the Noble Marquis, to whom the re geciations for forming a now Administration ha been ent rusted. most distinctly to state to that House, that all attempts to fit an .arrangement upon the basis ptoposed by his Royal Highness. lIAYING TOTALLY FAILED, in consequer.ce of the re fusal of all co-operation on the part of certain Noble Lords to whom the Noble Marquis applied, with the view of meeting the Putxca's wishes, he, the Noble Marquis in question, considered his powers at an end. and had consequently restifed them into the hands of his Royal Highness. Under these circumstances, Mr. CANNING put it to the candour of tl.e Honourable Gentleman oppoite, (Mr. MARTIN of Galway) to postpone the motion of which he had given notice until a future day. (Hear, hear.) Mr. NI/omm immediately rose, and, in the hand somest manner, consented to postpone his motion to a day to be afterwards named. The House then proceeded upon %h. ordinary i business of the day. N4I , AL INTELLIGENCE. POR'rSMOUTH. JUNE 2. Artived his Majesty's ship gIiENTES from a cruise.
