THE BRITISH PRESS. LON DON. TUESDAY, .TaKvALY 29. • NEW MINISTRY. On Sunday, the Earl of DARTMOUTH delivered a message from I lis MAJLST Y to Lord GRENVIL LX, desiring his Lordship's attendance upon I lis MA. J LST Y, yesterday, at the Quiss's House. The formation of a new Ministry was previously under stood to he the objet for which his Lordship's attendance was required ; and, from the firmness of his Lordship's charathr, it was well known that there was only one description of a Mi nistry of which His Lordship would consent to form a part. His Lordship came to town, on Sun - day, from Dropmore, to consult his friends upon this important business, preparatory to the appointed interview. At ten minutes past twelve, yesterday Hit MAJ ssr v, in pursuance of his appointment, ar rivel in bis travelling chariot and four, at the Qurto's Housf, from Windsor. Exadly at two o'clock, Lord Gass vitt t arrived,•anl was admit ted to an audience of His MAJ SST V. His Lordship came dire& tro:n the house of Mr. Fox, in Arlington street, with whom he bad sad a conversation of two hours. At the interview between His MAJESTY and Lord Gao.vii.t.e., his lordship, we under stand, received the Royal Command to form an Administration out of those elements, and upon the bash, 14 which his Lordship has contended with so mud; constancy, and free from every prin. ciple of exclusion or personal objections. The in terview did not last above half an hour; and as soon as it was over, Lord GRINYILLI went to Carleton- House, where the kfarqnis of BeCKINCR• 11, Mr. Fox, Mr. NRCIIDAN, Mr.T. Ca ENVIL It, and a few other friends were waiting for him. They remained together nearly two hours, after which Lord Ga an vi Lc went home to dinner. Immediately after Lord Gazavrxxs.'s departure from the Qs:acres House, Lord thwitcsiseav arrived, and had an audience of His Islsatsx sr, which lasted about a quarter of an hour. We stated yesterday, that the place of First Lord of the Treasury had been press es! upon his Lordship ; but that he had declined to accept it. He has, however, received the sinecure of Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, in compensa tion for his services. The patent was prepared on Sunday, with great expedition ; and, we believe, it yesterday received the Royal Signature. At five oclock, His MAJESTY returned to Windsor.— The LA of His Maissry's arrival in town, and of his having held a conference with Lord GEV/vit.:A being known, a great sensation was excited in the political circles. The House of Commons had a very full attendance, and previous to the commencement of business, the Members formed themselves into gropes, conversing appa rently on the subjett of the new arrangements, with anxious curiosity, or sending of letters to their friends. The following progress we understand was. made yesterday towards the formation of a NEW ADMINIiTRATIO,.4. Lord Ganivicca, Fos.ne Jtrni,ter , Fits' Lord of the Tres. sury. Mr. Fox, Secretary of State for the Foreign Depnrt-nent dun, for tlic Homy Department Mr WIN WI M, darn, tor the Colonial Department. lion. %Visa., 4,4 ELLIUT. Secretary at Wir. /deposit its..c KINSMAN, Fiat Lord cf time Admiralty. Earl Stances, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Mr Ti ram tr. Treasurer of the Nary. In the above list, the three first appointments are certain. New Writs for the City of Westminster, and the County of Northumberland, to return Members in the room of Mr. Fox and Mr. Ceti', will be moved vriihout I.lay , is the House of Commons. The friends of the former began to canvass Westminster last night. The appointment of the Marquis of litcnivcisam, Earl :ivesicta, and Messrs. WINDa A V, Tstitaav, and Ettiov, are not so certain but, although some change may be made in the arrarigmient, so far as it respr&s them, they will undoobtedly be all comprehended in the new Ministry: In ad dition to the above, it is said, that Mr I:a. mat. is to he Lord erms.,ellor or Eng Lind, Cord MLlGitciaat Roser; iv, Lord Chancellor of laUnit .lab Lard ReoiMai.c ; and it wit' alio reported, thietite orgy. restraint iznpus:d upon .Lord GRENVILLE MSS, that he should not press the Catholic citestion. For this last point, however, we have an good authority. The genero sity of llis MAJESTY. in thus forgetting all motive, of personal feeling, cannot be too highly extolled. We trig that the fruits of this new Ministry will be as rich, as the sources from which it springs are pure, liberal, loyal, and patriotic. In consequence of some words which fell front Viscount C•ST L ER E A 014, on Saturday, in the House of Common•, an expeftation generally prevailed, that some of the New Ministerial Appointments would /ive been announced yesterday in Parlia ment. It is not improbable, that Viscount Carr c ax•oft hoped at the time, that Lord /lawn cs sues' would have accepted the Office of First Lord of the Treasury, and that His MAJESTY would have been content with a patched-up Ministry, in which the noble and pliant Viscount should hold a prominent place.—That hope is now lit:J. No communication respelling the new Ministry was made yesterday is the House of Commons, nor will it, when made, fall to the lot of Viscount CAST t. e itEAcit, who could not find it a grateful task to announce his own downfal, and the triumph of his opponents. The I lon. HENRY L ASC L Les yesterday brought forward his motion in the House of Commons. It was for a funeral and moan:sea in _Westminster Abbey, at the public eresnce, for Mr. Pity, similar to that voted to his father, the late Earl of CHAT. HAM. A faithful Report of the Debate upon this motion, is given in.our preceding columns. Admiral CORNWALLIS, with the fleet under his command, remained on the 25th at Torbay. _ _ Yesterday, at twelve o'clock,' His MAJESTY ar rived at the Queem'e House, from Windsor. Yesterday morning, the Princesses A uousr a, So-. cur A, and Ammo:A, accompanied by General Euro awe and Colonel Dcsaitow, on horseback, took an airing in Windsor Glen Park. Her MAJESTY and the Pause USES tock an airing to Frognsore. In the Debate lost night in the House of COITI 'mom, upon the Motion of Mr. H. LASCELLLS, Mr. Bose declared, that one of the last expressions of Mr. Pirr, when dying, was—" Oh ! my country. Mr. Fox's sentiments, when speaking of that great man, nose no more, as his sisal, do him great honour. The Marquis of BECEINOHASI, and the Hon. Mr. T. GRcsvILLE, dined yesterday with Lord GRENVILLE:, at his house, Oxford-street. Mrs. SI conohs, after a secession of two months, came forward last night, at Covent-Garden Theatre, in the part of Elvira, in the tragedy of Pizarro. She was received with the usual tributes ' bestowed on a favourite performer ; she appeareed in pedal health, and disphyed her usual excel lence. Mr. )(coma played Rolla in his best manner, although evidently labouring under a ♦cry severe cold. 'I he Coantess of ARBEM A ILL and the Earl of Sc A soar:moo were present. We have received New York Papers to the eGth They state, that on the 15th and I Gth, the Senate of the United States was engaged, on a motion of Mr. Ba A Dr ev, fur leave to bring in a Bill to prohibit the importation of slaves into any porter place, within the jorisdiaion of the United States, from and alter the I st day Of January, HOC On this motion, the previous question WAS called, viz. " Shall the main question be now pu:, and passed in the affirmative?" as follows:—Yeas, IG. Nays, 11. The Yeas and Nays were then taken on the main question, which passed in the affirma tive, as follows:—Yeas, Id. Nays, 9. Mr. Beenoei then introduced the Bill, which received a first leading. On the 17th, Mr. Looms gave notice, that he should, nett day, ask leave to bring in a B;11, to suspend the commercial intercomoe between the United States of America and the French island of St. Domingo. The Lill to prohibit the importation of slaves into luny port or place, within the juriscliClion of the United States, from and after the 1 st day of Joint r, 1801, was - reod the second time. A motiori was ade to make it the order of the day, for the first e Moeday in February, and lost ; when it was ordered that its further coosideration be postponed to the first Monday in Dee. which is equivalent to a rejedion of the Rill. On this question the Senate was equally di vided, 14 Members for, and 14 Members against the motion, and the Vice-President gave the casting vote. We understand that, in the course of the discussion. it was allowed on all hands that as soon as the time arrived when Congress shall possess the constitu tional power of prohibiting the importation of slaves, it would he proper for them to exercise it. The opponcros of :he bill took two grounds, the one consisting in the expediency of legislating on the subject before the year ISOS, and the o;her in the alleged unconstitutionality of legislating until that period. At a city club, the other evening, a member read ing an Advertisement, that the Lottery Commissioners were about to cut the Prizes into the Wheel, another started up, and exclaimed, "Then, my friends, lest we should he rut sy from the chance of p trticipa.- ine of the great interest possessed by the first drawn 5000 niimbcre, let us no longer delay purchasing our usual quota, under the unfounded insinuations that Tickets and Shares will fall in price." In fel, such has been the been the increased demand for iszkets and Shares within these few days, from Cie Jraoing being so mar a commencement, that an ease of r,rice will most aesure:ly take place.
