The Marquis WELLESLEY received, as we before •stated, the PRINCE RE GENT'S_ commands to lay before him the plan of .an Administration, of which hisiordship was 'to le the head. He immediately had a communi 'ation with' the Noblemen and Gentlemen whom we mentioned on Saturday evening, -viz. the Marquis, of .LANsEbowN, Lords IIoLLA's . o, MotEA, etc. and, we - understand, also with LordB GREY and GRENVILLE, who, it iS said, have declined coming into office themselves, but at the same time ,expressed a wish that their friends should not adopt similar conduct, but should lend their assistance in forming the Admi t • nistration. Other accounts state that Lor' ci GREN-. MLLE--only declined accepting of office, lnit that Lord GREY has, declared his - willingness to form a part.of the Government. Au- aftplication was, at the same time, made, through the medium of Mr. CAN.NING, tQLordLIvERPooL, LOTGICASTLEREAGII, andthe other Members of the present Cabinet, who, says / the Morning Chronicle, " with one single exception (LOrd - MELvILLE) returned a negative, and added,: that they .could, not consent, after what had recently happened, to serve with the Noble Marquis.' This is not correct ; Lord LIVERPOOL. and his Colleagues have not expressed any unwillingness to serve with the Noble Marquis, but they have r .:fased to abandon those principles which_ they. 'consider as best calculated to promifitte the interest and welfare of the country. . The Chronicle is also incorrect .in stating that Lord viLLE's answer to the proposition . . that was made to him differed from thbse of his colleagues; it was n exactly the sauce. From all the informa which.we have been able to collect ) the Mar eiti!S WELLESLEY has found naorse . difficulties than v.-as .expected intim formation of a new Ministry . — difficulties arising partly from the great differences of opinion that prevail among the-public men, and from the desire of some of those who have been applied to, to be themselves at the head of the Ad rnihstration; This morning an Anholt Mail arrived, extracts from which - will:he found in 6 subsequent column. The following letter was this morning received at Lloyd's respecting the Earthquake at the Ca- rzccas : FAL NT 0 TH MAX 22.—As my - account of this m,..lancholy circumstance has been much clisput esi, and froM some quarters - flatly contradicted; it behoves me to state, what, authority I had for silch a communication. • The following ; is .corrpcily what I learnt from Captain SuTT.ow, of the Wiiitisor Castle packet :--- OA the I7th of April u sehOoner arrived at Martinique, after a passage of seven days, from Ci:racoa, : bringing an account that an English fri gate had arrived at that place with several persons who had' escaped from La Guira and'Caraeas, at which places a. dreadful ,earthquake had been felt, Which destroed 15,000 inhabitant 3, and seventeen Cii urei; es 'itt Caracas.

There was a report prevaileNast night that the hake of NENtTCATLE had been shot, near his seat of Glumber Park, in Nottinghamshire, by a party of the Luddites; but not being able to trace, so calamitous an event to any authentic source, we trust that such report will prove groundless.
