LONDON,
SATURDAY, Just 4.

The House of Commons last night presented a
new appearance. Since Mr. PIT T went out of
office he has given his cordial support to Ministers.
Last night, for the first time, he opposed the Mi-
neter, and was left in a Minority. It is true he
did not go the full length of voting for a censurcupon
Administration, but merely objected to parts of its
condua. Under all the circumstances of the case,
however, we must consider the course which he
took last night u a rupture of the conuation which
bas hitherto subsisted between him and Mr. AD-
Di sc.r ON. Making due allowance for what is due
to delicacy and old friendships, we do not see how
he could have opened a career of opposition
in a more decisive manner. Lord HAwices-
ICILY felt it so ; he seemed much agitated when
he rose to observe upon Mr. PITT'S arguments.
After the first division, Mr. Fox, Mr. PITT,
and several others went away, and did not s etc on
Mr. PATTEN'S Motion. We never saw so full an
attendance of Members ; the House ae.tually over-
flowed. The Debate, however, was not
,so inter-
esting as was expelled, as neither Mr. Fox, Mr.
SfiER►DA`, or Mr. WINDHAM, took any part in the
discussion.
