The political circles are all busied in surmise, and the important question of a Who is to succeed the Marquis of Londonderry ?" is proposed by every one to every one—Mr. Canning would go to India for the sake of an increase of income " ter his near anti dear relatives," if his absence would bring down ruin on the country; therefore be, thank God, is out of the question—the Duke of Wellington wields his sword so much better than his pen, that he will never do for an important trust of the kind, while the resources of the country are in a state of la mentable dilapidation, produced by the lavish ex penditure of the present Cabinet during the late war—because, if in a question of balance upon any important point, the Duke, in imitation of a warrior before him, were to throw his sword into the scale, the mounting might be too expensive for the present unfortunate state of the Exchequer. Thus, then, we hope the present Ministers must Le kicked out, and as we consider them the worst of ail others that could be placed at the helm, a change must be for the better—the real, constitutional Whigs have, it is true, been outrageously treated by the King, but when their resentments are opposed to the real wel fare of their country, they will forget them; and we therefore hope to be enabled shortly to announce the ap-pointment of a Cabinet which Englishmen may regard without suspicion-..0f an Administration to which the people may look with reliance, instead of " fear and trembling." The Duke of Wellington certainly represents this country at the approaching Congress—Mr. Peel will, it is said, have the portefeuille of the Foreign.. Office, and Lord Colchester (late Speaker of the House of Commons) succeed Mr. Peel as Secretary fur the Home Department. Mr. Plants, the private secretary to the late Marquis of Londonderry, ac companies the Duke of Wellington on his mission. His Majesty landed at Leith on Thursday week at about half-past twelve—he was received by the Au thorities, /sc. as had been previously arranged.— The procession proceeded up Leith-wall to the THE NATIONAL REGISTER_ boundaries of the City, and the keys having been delivered by the Lord Provost to the King, and re tirned of course, tho cavalcade went to the palace, where numerous presentations took place.—His Ma jesty left the Palace for Dalkeith a little after three o'clock, after having stated to Lord Lynedock his entire satisfaction at the arrangements. —We are happy to add that no accident occurred. The Duke of Sussex arrived at Cantlev on Wednesday last, on a visit to M. A. Taylor Esq. M.P. The Sheriff's of York passed through Don caster, &tout half-past five, to congratulate his Royal Highness upon his entrance into this county, and to rt quest that he wunid honour that city with his presence, and receive the freedom of the corpo ration. They were also instructed to ask his Royal Highness to dine with the Lord Mayor on any dry that might be convenient. His Royal Highness appointed to morrow (Monday.) We understand, that his Royal Highness is to reside, when at York, with I 1: r. Choloner, M. P. for that city. The Duke is accompanied by \lr. Stephervou and two other gentlemen. In the House of Commons, in 1793 when Sir J. Sinclair moved for a reward of 10001. to be granted to Mr. Elking.on, whom he stated to be the best artist fin draining the country, Air. Jekyll, who sat next to him, whispered in his ear, " You forget the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Germany, who have shown themselves infinitely more successful artists for draining the country, and have been much better paid for it. Lieut.-Gen. Lord Combermere is mentioned as likely to succeed the late Sir S. Auchmuty in the command of the army in Ireland. The East India Company gave notice on Wednes day at the Stock Exchange, that subsequently to the 3 Ist of March next, the interest on their bonds (which in 1818 they reduced from five to four per cent.) will be further lowered to three and a half per cent.

FRANKFORT ON TYE MAINE, AUG. 10 —.lt if positively ass Tted that the projected marriage of the Crown Prince of Sweden with the Princess of Leuchtenberg has been finally given up, as it is said, because the mother of that Princess obstinately re fuses her assent to the change of religion in her d.tughter, though the latter would have complied with that condition. Rerottm M ZETINO.—A very numerous and res pectable meeting, thr the consideration of Reform it Parliament, was held at Yotk on Thursday last, %V. Fawkes, &q. in the chair, when the following re solutions were unanimously agreed to:-- 1. That it is the opinion of the meeting that a reform in the Commons I louse of Parlmment—such a reform as woolil render it the real, ratiar than the virtual, reeresentatiou of the people— is bestial.: a measure of urgent necessity. 2. That this alerting collects the truth of this fact from the recorded history of the House itself, where it is found that every successive adniittistraion„ of whatever patty, can, with a tew solitary exceptions, of which the itterested spirit has been too manifest, at all times command a majority. 3. And this meeting is willing to believe that the numerous body of placemen and pensioners which a committee of the House of Commons has reported to exist in its own body, has greatly tended to produce this spirit of dependence un the one hand, and of unbounded Fower on the other. 4. Further, that the return of members to the Commons House of Parliament. as appears from numerous statements made in the House itself, being effected through the influence of Peers of the Realm as well as of the Lords of the Treasury, is another cause why the votes of the House so implicitly follow the ilic• tales of successive administrations, end frequently with the sacrifice of the best interests of the country. S. Convinced of this great truth. this meeting thinks it right to watch the opportunity Mr adopting the steps necessary to taise this great country to those exertions which may be wanted to effect such a reform as shall restore our representation to a state of constitutional purity, calculated at once to protect the rights of the people and of the Crown. 6. I:Luther, that to bring about this great object, it is the opinion of this meeting, that a committee be immediately ap pointed, with powers to add to their numbers, who shall meet on the first 31onsiay in November, to originate a county meeting, or to adept such measures as they may conceive requisite to promote a rtfoim in the Commons House of Parliament. _ Ilianks to the Chairmau were voted, and the meeting separated. According to letters from Constantinople of July 20th, the Grand Signor had caused two of the Bi shops, who were in prison, to be hanged, and the Patriarch is also dead, without its bciug known by what means he died.

His Majesty hos uni formly spoken orbit late minitter sinee tlw fatal act with revert and kintle.ss, and, it is said, alluded with del)audencv to the broken state of the Adminirtration under e:isting circnioslatoctis. The rumours respecting the private hours of Royalty are proverbially uncertain, but it is said that the King contem plates with emotion the pmbable successor to the late Marquis of Londonderry in the Cabinet. Mr. Catoninter is not a very gracious name to motion in the Rural presence, and the hauteur of Lord Grenvil e is not well calculated to court favour at the present crisis. Mr. Peel and Lord Melville are in d ily com munication with Ministers in London., and it is said that the Earl of Liverpohl will not repair to Edinburgh, that the Kind has (according to rumour)-subinitted the situation of the Govern ment entirely to his Lordaloip, and intimated that lie will leo., Scotland on Wednesday week, so that it is probable all the arratogeinenta for the late Foreign Secretary's stoccessor will be ready for his Majesty's approbation at the period of his reins u to ho, 4 land.

Tut LATE MARQUIS OF LOttnnstitßaT.—The fol. lowinu anecdote Ft:meeting the late Marquis a' Londoh (Jerry, we have heard from uninitiated atithority. it m ar e serve to exculpate those to whom directions had liven ei•en to remove every weapon 0' destruction horn t h e noble .Mar q uis's reach, or which they knew hinvio he in poss. , ' on, and may also tend to shew more stron-lv the disordered state of the M trg n mind o the Pri , l.ty, when the symptoms of therm red intellect first became so manifest to all around him. On ilit Friaav in question the noble it I tarns was seen walit'll,z in Cuckspur.street and Pall-mall 11l a very &sent and , careless manner. As he was proceeding towards st.

The gentleman thonght it sinenlar, at the moment, that so great a man should deal in so small a way, and at dinner the next day re lated the anecdote as a mark of tie eccentricity which which he did not expect to have discovered in a man of such high rank and cons, (menet.. The melancholy oc currence at North Cray, disclosed on Tuesday, had evi. dent ly a connexion with the circumstances thus detailed. —lt war precisely such a knife as that 4,scrihed t o h ave been purchased of the Jew boy that the latal woond was given ; and the ignorance of the noble Marquis's ser vants that he was in possession of stick an iustruinont, accounts for its having Leen overlooked.
