Earl CORNWALLIS, Viscount BROlde, end Baron
CoaNwat.ris, Knight of the Garter, audit Baronet,
a General in the Army, Lori' Lieutenant M the
Tower Hamlets Militia, and Constable of the
Tower. He was born Dec. 31. 1738 ; siscceeded
his father CNIARLIS, the late Earl, June 23. 1762,
and is succeeded by his only son, Cu A at.as, Viscount
Beous, married to Louisa, dauglster.l2/ Alie_Duke

W• LLt s. HIS Lordship wai aso Bier and a !rues.;
man. He fought for the preservation of an empire;
in America; be enlarged the British aiiaicrus

Asia; and, bya humane and wise policy, reseuedlea-
land from all the horrors of rebellion, and preserved
that valuable kingdom to the British Croitn. Thus
did he serve his country in three quarters of the
globe, with courage, ability, unshaken integtity;
and, except in the case of America, with brilliant
success. As a statesman, his spirit was manly and
independent. In 1765 he was nomineed one of the
Lords of the Bed Chamber, and about the same
time was honoured with the appointment of Aid-
de-Camp to His present MAJEsry but the favours
of the Crown did not influence his conshtd, for he
voted frequently against the Minister, and some-
times adopted what is called the popular side of the
question. In no part of the British Empire will
the death pf this venerable and amiable Noblrman
be more lamented than in Ireland. Its adn.inis-
tration in that kingdom was short, but it was suc-
cessful. He put down rebellion, captured 'an in-
vading enemy, who had penetrated into its bosom ;
he established a legitimate and merciful Govern-
ment, and abolished a system of violence and ar-
bitrary rule.
Very little, that is new, has transpired respe!ting
the detail of the Ministerial arrangements now on
the tapir. A doubt, lee understand, has arisen,
whether Lotd Gassystta can hold the situation
of Pirst Lord of the Treasury with the Audixor-
ship . of the Exchequer, of which he is already
in possession, the one being a check upon the
other ; but this difficulty, it is thought, may be
surmounted, by patting the Auditorship jape coil:
mission. Several meetings took place yesterty, and
several lists of a new Ministry were circniated, but
that which we have already given is probably
as care& as any that we have • seen. The
care with which some of oar contemporaries
avoid all notice of these lists, sod of the detail of
the romouted &alio, is as ludicrovs as it' is ex-
traordinary. The Arerni.: Chearecle says, " it is
irreverent to publish what it knows upon the sub-
jed, until the plan obtains the sanltion of HI MA-.
Jest. v." This aquae delicacy towards at Royal
Person engin well. In a few days, The breeding
Chronicle will outvie The Camel'," in loyalty. For
our own part, we can see nothing improper nor ir-
reverent in noticing the rumoured changes to which
most credit is attached in the political .circlea.
WIMP tir. A DO It:OTOS% ministry was formed, and
when it was dissolved, we do not remember any of
this squeamish delicacy in the condu,f of the Prints
to which we allude. They did not, at these two
several periods. consider it irreverent to publish the
current reports upon the subjed, and superinduce
largely upon them their own speculations. The
Crown, we know, appoints its own servants. It
would be not only irreverent, we admit, I.ut
criminal, to assert, that any particular men are
its servants, before they have received its sanc-
tion ; but we have neither said nor insinuated
any such thing. His :Ca est. v, we know, lies given
Lord Gait/felts r. a carte ildnrke to prepare a plan
of a new Ministry for ha Royal consideration.
Surely, then, it is fair to presume that the
plan prepared by hit Lordship will, in the
whole or in part, receive the Royal sanilion.
All the lists and reports in circulation, must,
and can only relate to this incipient plan, to
Lord GNENVI L Lel plan, net the Eines plan.

Where then is the irreverence in noticing th to
IVe respen Lord Gessvit.t.s as much, and as sir..

His Maacsr Y did not come to to*it yesterday, but
he will probably have in intervi.m.with Lord Garb-
vit.s.a this day, when some firther progress will
be made in the new arrangement. Afce: the ritzy,
Ministers have been appointed, there will be an-
terval of a fortnight before any public busii.e•% , •
mush importance can be tiansafted. Such
new Nlitasters as are Members of the House
Commons, must vacate their seats, and be -
eleitted.
