HIS MAJESTY arrived, at twelve o'clock, on
turday, from Win,ls-r, authe Queers's House, and
was visited by the Dukes of You, Riser, Cum..
akRLAND, and C•STREIDGE. Earl'Cosabers, Lands}
llawics.snuar and ELLENSOROUGH, am! the Lunn
CHANCELLOR, had audiences of His MiJEST Y. At
five o'clock, His Maftsr v returned tO
The formation of a new Ministry was the object
Hi. MAJESTY'S V!SH to town, and it was generally
believed, that some progress had been made in•that
important business. This belief derived considerable'
strength from what passed on Sattir,lay ewnjor is
the House of Commons. Upon a mo:i .n
into a Committee of Supply, this day, Mr. 'Gs,/
and Mr. F. a urged the impropriety of
away the public money, is sctal ignorance oi t:
persons who are to have the management of is ; ;a
which Viscount CAS TLEREAGN answered, he i:11
authority to state, that it was His MAJEST V's nte::-
tion immediately to t,,ke the necessary steps for t:
formation of a new Ministry; that he had ilo

hesitation in affirming, that a Chancellor of tle.
Exchequer would be appointed without delay, ar.d
that, in the mean time, as was the usual custom, Ili%
NIA; esre had entrusted the Seals of the Exchever
to the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE of the COURT Of KisC:f
BENCH.* We can, however, state with contidenc•,
that no progress was made on Saturday towat.ds tie
formation of a new Ministry. Lord HAW/LEM:kr
was pressed to accept the place of Prime Minis's:,
and had, in some degree, assented, or rather hesitat-
ed. whether he should undertake the great respon-
sibility attached to the situation. It is said, indeed,
th it he at first gave a sort of assent; but, on cot-
sideration, expressed a wish to decline the honour.':
was in the midst of this uncertainty the report pi:.
Tailed, that his Lordship was appointed Prime M
raster, and it was, in confidence that he would a.
cept the situation, thatVisc.Casc t Rtexaast probalii!
declared his expedlation to be able this day to are
flounce a progress made in a new arrangemeiu.

Nothing passed on Saturday or yesterday in favor
of this expedation; but, as His M AJ ESTI' will come !.)

town this thy, it is not improbable that same ptogtm
may be made in fortnatiou :if 4 new Minists'.
An arelagement, comprising( the. ft(rannnt of Y 7.
Piras .Ministry, with two :cr three new Mer...

hers, is generally nojcirstood to he that wh::;:'
would be rno,e desirable in =certain gum
ter, the influence cf which is paramount `i)
this case. Should Lord IIAWKLSIILI RV, alb,
appointment was, on Saturday, considered a cr.•
tain event ror some hours, even by his friends. L
who was inclined, upon consideration, to heVistt
upon the subjel, be ultimately persuaded to pl:,‘
himself at the head of a new Ministry, dice
little doubt that one will be formed of the
scription which we have stated. A Ministry, co
posed of such materials, w.l have no hesitaticit
however, to say, will be short lived. It will not
sorer the expectations, the interests, or the &gene'
of the country. It will not survive a fortnight,
at most, three weeks. Lord Hawersat ft Y is a •r.
of talents, industry. and knowledge of busing
lie is, as Mr. Pitt stated in his recommea.:
tion of the ADDINGTON Administration, a st*
man by birth ; born to these endowments as:
inheritance; but he is not Mr. PITT, !".
not proportions to fill the immense void which t.
great mar) has left behind. It WAS a que,!:.
indeed, whether Mr. PITT, great as he
with Lord FIAWIELSSU&Y for his coadjutor,
be able to stand his ground, in the preser4 ir'
mute state of the Continent, with sat thersbii
Opposition drawn up in array agaitilt.' hiin I I
