The opposers of -Ministers hint that the Nieetir.g
of Parliament has been deferred, in hopes either that
some fortainate incident may occur to enable them
to meet Parliament with more confidence, or that
they may be :stile " to relieve the dispiriting ins:-
pidity of the war, by some other grand experisnen,;"
or that they may be etsabled to lay before Parlia-
ment and the public, "a digested plan of continental
coaneftion against France.' We have not heard
of any grand ezpetiment being in agitation before
January. nor of any great plan of continental alli-
ance. The reason was probably this: the public
service did not press fir an immediate rrennz,
and Ministers were therefore anwilling to bring
the Members to town for a week or two ►store
Christmas.
