I,4)NDON,
SATURDAY. Ji Me ‘22.

The debate on Thursday night in the House of
Lords upon klis IslamTv's Message, and in the
liouie of Commons upon Mr. Gait's Motion, has

ennwn new I;zht upon the state of parties.—Lord

ft ENVIL E said, t!i-At the interns] di,sentions of the
Cabinet were become a matter of puhlic notoriety,

and representei its Members as employed in mutual

recrimination, and the discord so great as not
even to permit them to save appearances. Mr.
E.t, alluding to the same subjen, said, " When we
.tr of hasty resignations and rapid reconciliations,
parties remain together only because they
..maot stand without each other, I cannot think
sack an Administration worthy of confidence.—

.kllowing the talents of the Right Honourable
Gentler')3n (Mr. PITT) to be thrown into the
scale, I do not think the present Administration,
therefore, more entitled to the praise of efficacy
than some of those which have been condemned
4..)1' the want of it. Even from what has passed in
the present Session, I think it imprissible that any
311. l:: can have any great confidence in it. But it has
said, if you disapprnve of the Minister, why
:tot move for hi; dismissal ? All I shall say upon

this point is this, that if the persons who have it in
their power to form an Administration, do not think
this a time req.:hit-1g a cordial and vigorous Admi-
nistration, embracing all the persons capable of
serving the country, the people ought to tell them
to. If such a Ministry be not formed, lam sure
there is no chance of this country weathering the
storm. Ido not mean this expression in the pusil-
lanimous sense, that the notion must he absolutely
annihilated, hut that it may be reduced to a state of
depression from which it may not be able to reco-
ver. As to the principle of exclusion. although
no man condemns it more than I do,
yet, I am sure there is no man, let his private
views and personal ambition be what they may,

who would state such ennsiderations to stand
in the way of so great an objea." The t/IRD
CHANCELLOR, in the Kruse of Lords, followed
Lori Gannvinee, and Mr. PITT spolc‘ after Mr.
Fox in the House of Commons ; but neither of
them suffered a single word to escape them in an-
ewer to tilese direa charges and insinuetioas. Could
they have been refitted, or explained in any way ad-
vantageous to the parties concerned, it is not likely
that Ministers would have negletned so fair an op-
portunity, an opportunity amounting indeed to a
positive challenge and defiance. If then we wanted
any corrohorating proof of the difference alleged
to subsist hi the Cabinet, the silence of Ministers upon
this occasion would perhaps be sufficient confirmation.
But it may be said, is then a difference of opinion in
the Cabinet, a disorder so desperate as te afford no
hopes of cure, and necessarily induciag dissolution ?
Certainly nat. Lord THuatow, we are told, used
to growl a little in the Cabinet, and Mr. Wiene•ie
eery lately declared in his place in the I louse. of
Commons, that he did not always agree w 4 his as-
sociates. This sort of difference was, however, more
a proof of the si:itit, the independence, and strength
of the Cabinet, than of its weakness : and it never
suffered in public estimation upon that account.—
But the schism which. now prevails is the Cabinet
is of a very different description ; it is not any little
hasty ebullition of jealousy or ill-humour ; it is not
a discontent arising from any personal slight or
disappointment, to be appeased by a little address
and increased attention: it is an aaual attempt on
the part of Vie:taunt Stostmern to make the
CbIANCELLOI of the EICAEQI:i.E, to whom the
Country has b:en accustomed to look as the leader
of the Administration, subordinate to the Lord
President of the Council. Mr. Pier must there-
fore consult the wishes of the ADDINGTUMS, and
bend to their will, in which even Viscount Sin-
mom' would be, in he, Prime Minister, whatever
may be his place and office, or he must reinforce
him., If by some new arrangement. We are among
those who think we have lately observed a spirit of
moderation in the language of the old Opposition in
the (louse of Commons towards the Minister, and
a conciliatory tone in the manner of the Minister
towards the old Oppesition. We are assured, how-
ever, that no overture, direaly or iadirealy, has
been mode by Mr. PITT, or his friends, to the old
Opposition, nor from them to Mr. PIT r. Suppos-
ing, however, the present state of things to lead to
such an overture, we fear there are many difficul-
ties in the way of a successful result. The Grtra
•letes Party are as firm and resolved in their oppo-
sition to Mr. PITT as ever. The Earl of tir steces .
is supposed to be the only member of it who cold
be detached from that body, and even this is only
conjeaure. Supposing. then, Mr. PITT ready to
unite with Mt. Fox and his immediate friend:,
k is not to be presumed that they would ac-
quiesce in any arrangement which did not em-
brace the G Et:VILLE Party, who aged so disinters
este Ily and honourably towards Mr. Fox upon the
formation of the present Ministry. To them diffi-
culties may be added the obsernetions that must na-
cesserily arise from the personal interests and feeling
of Mr. PIT is present coadjutors. Were an Ad-
ministration to be formed, comprising all the charec-
tees of the country in rank, talents. aid political in.
formatioe, the HAWKESSLILYS, the CA,4NISIG3, the
FOSTERS, and the BOC:t S ES, must fall into the back
ground, or totally disappear. And perhaps it is net
in human natu:e that they should submit to their
fate without some little pains to prevent it. D:Ci-
culties to the same extent do not present themselves
in the way of an arrangement between the new
ocialitien and the Anoint:from ear: e. Bat even
here it is o doubt matter whether Lord
could be brought to acquiesce in any arrangement ni"
which Mr. Pere did not form a part. —The epprti-
don which the Gasarviee. s have sheen to hint
is entirely free from all personal considerations ;
and, peratioxical as it may appear, is, in lA, the
highest compliment %%hie they could pay to lii% ta-
lents. A fixed and inflexible oppinetion to the pre-
sent Admininiatien they consider tie surest mode
of forcing him iuto a Ministry upon a broad basis,
such as they p:oposed on the resignetien of Mr.
ADDINGTON, and the country thee expened ;
an
administration comprising all the leading men of
rank, talents, and property, and suited to the
extraordinary crisis in which the venni), is
placed. Had Mr. P; sr fat the. necessity
of such an administration as strioiely as Lord
Geenviees and Mr Foe. he certainly would not
have rt:tu-nei to office in the way he did, unless
indeed he hope I, that wee s in power he would
be able to etfea it by his iefluence and address.
it mast be almitt also in his justification, that he
then reckoned upon the pee el tul aid of Viscount
Minn, Le, a man of great abilities and indefati-
gable industry. Viscount Ma. v ILIA, instead of a
support, is now rather a ieeiger that oppresses him,
and he hallo and that the • i•lers of tie Coalition
are st euncli, a,,1 i • sep r ihie t -.ni each other. A
reconeilintion the s between Mr. P:r r and te:e

count Si OMOUTH is the only court. that remains, but
that can only be a hollow and delu. sive truce, and after
she manner in which Mr. PITT turned out Mr. Ao-
DINGTOM, and Mr. A onto o ropi, now Viscount
SID in En, has acquired an ascendancy in a certain
quarter over Mr. PITT, we do not see how a full and
complete confidence can ever exist between them.

Mr. PITT gave notice last night in the House of
Commons, of a Motion, on Monday, for a Secret
Committee to enquire into certain parts of the
Eleventh Report of the Commissioners of Naval En-
quiry.

GRAND MASQUERADE.

The elegant and amiable Cnnntess of BA RP. '-
mom last night, gave superb 1 asquerade, at her
magnificent house in Sackville street. A suite
three spacious rooms rec .ived the company. in .
the;r whimsical variety. They are crimson, with
gold mouldings, an.! were hung all round wit*
white gauze festoons, supporting a profusion of tie
most delicate and fragrant shavers. Beautiful chub .deliers, lustres, and variegate.f lamps, tastefully ar-
ranged, diffused a blaze of light rivalling me splen-
dour of mid-day. We cannot wonder that they
who possess smiling fieids and beauteous villas, Ara
wedded to town, when the flaner-garden can be
thus transferred to the ball-room, and the wi we
of a house in Sa:kville-striet be converted into al-
coves and bowers. -

It was fairy ground, and the sceae as embossing

eleven o'clock the company began to assemble its
considerable' force, and ma.ii a whirrs cal

masks were very numerous, the cliaraaers infinitely
diversified, and many of tiers supported with grog
