Our Readers will see,. by a reference to the Par:- liamentary. proceedings of yesterday, that Mr. CASKING informed the House of Commons, that the Marvis WELLESLEY had yesterday received - . . *the PaxxcEßEGiNT's directions to proCeedimme diatcly to the formation of p. new Administra tion. Whether the difEculties which have 'hi therto prevented the acconiplishment of this 'Ob ject are removed, ,or not, we cannot pretend to say; , th c Noble Marquis, however, we arc convinced, will proceed to the discharge of the important task which has been enti usted , to him, with a degree of energy proportioned te• the exigency of the times. We sha s ll not at present offer any speculations upon the Administration that is likelvto be formed under his Lordship's . auspices ; wehave already expressed our wisho and our hopes upon this subject, and we 4: convinced that our feelings are. in unison with those of , a great majority of the people of this Brnpire. After Lord WELLisLEy. left the PRINCE REGENT, his Lordship had an interview with Lord MOIRA and with Lord GREY.

It does:not appear from the private letters re ceived by the last Anholt mail, from various ports in the Baltic, that hostilities have yet commenced in Poland. The report, however,' proves to be correct, that an embargo--a sort of preliminary 1 10 warfare—had been placed ,on all vessels at Liebau, in CMuland, bound to. Prussian ports.— The- Russian merchants, who experienced much more inconvenience from this measure, had pe- Coned their government for its recal • but their a pplication had not been complied, with. Letters o:the. 10th and 12th of May, .frOm Lie-. state, that Riga:had been declared by the Rus:=.ian Government, a free pmt for the vessels 6f all nations: This account was generallY Cre dited upon 'Change • but is rendered doubtful by the circumstance of a letter of subsequent date having been received from Riga, Whichis entirely silent on the. subject. . • .

On , the- 17th ult. they entered Oviedb, without- opposition, though ineonsiderable in number. The people,' every where. ffed in con sternation and alarm. Mr. KELLY, the British Consul at Gijon, had quitted that port in time to save hinv ,, elf and •his faiuily. It ..is conjectured that the French . had only in view a marauding expedition, fOr the purpose of procuring such supplies as that- exhausted country might still -be able to afford. . he Direct Ors of_ the East India Company are said to have taken two hundred of the most neces aitons•of the weavers of Spit'al-fields, and its neigh birarhookl, into their employ as supernumerary la 7 • hoaxers.
