CHANGE OF MINISTRY.

The varions and crntradidory reports, which
have been in circulation for some dirs pest, of a
change cf Ministry, yesterday began to assume a
serious and cornivent form. We stated in a former
Paper. that the measure before Parliament, in fa-
vour of !Inman Catholics, has produced this crisis.
Sanguine hopes were entertained, that the Minister,
by assimilating the present BM to the Irish Aft of
1793, would temove all objeaion in a certain
Tarter; and that by consenting to do sn, the eaist-
ing difficulties would be completely done away.
The events of yesterday have d trnped, if not de-
stroyed, these hopes.—We stated yesterday, that a
Cabinet Council was held on Tuesday night, at
which, as was confidently repotted, this subjed was
taken into consideration. In the morning it was
agreed that it should be held at Lord Gars-
•ILLE'S house in the evening; but his Lordship,
in the c 'arse of the day, received a letter from
Earl Seises*, stating, that he was just arrived
from Althorpe, and wished the Meeting to be held
at his house, St. James's-Place. Lord Cunt: 'cc',
and Mr. Tura. GRENVILLE, accordingly went Ml*
the Noble Earl, and dined with him. At nine
o'clock, they were joined there by the Earl of Mote*,
Viscount How icK, Lord HasaT Parr v. Lord Hot-
LAND, and Mr. WINDHAM. The Loan Cs.
cittos,ViscountSto.sautit, Lord Ett.itsaoliotn.
and Earl Ft rearms.' am, were the only Mem-
bers of the Cabinet who did not attend.
last is not in town.—The Council sat until
o'clock, and it is generally understood th.t
agreed to modify the measure. Shortly after
the result was seat off by Mr. ROUGH. 'yin. the
senger, to Windsor, for His NI 44444 v's conan
tion. It is also supposed, that at the same
the members present agreed to resign, in case
measure should be objefted to in its modified slap
At twelve o'clock, yesterday, His MAJESTY cams
to town, not to hold a Special Council, for the dis-
cussion of this business, a proceetling quite idealist
and contrary to etiquette, but according to him"'
custom; His MAJZSTv beieg in the habit of h01d.%
a Council every Wednesday, at the Qt. esss's
A little before two, the Council was held, and an
l'.vening Paper of yesterday, stated, :hat shortiy
