FRIDAY, JANUARY 31.
"-""WEIREWw•
The ROYAL FAMILY arrived, yesterday, at
twelve o'clock, at the Queves House, from Wind-
sor. Their MAJESTIES came in the Kiss's tra-
velling chariot and four. The PRlNessses followed
in two carriages. They will remain in town until
Friday next ; within which time it is expeCled, that
the new Administration will be finally arranged
and completed. Various reports of difficulties and
delays having occurred in Lord GRENVILLE'S
plan of arrangement, prevailed in the course of
the morning. According to some, the plan had
been prepared, and was ready to be submitted to
His Majesty ; but the death of the Marquis CORN-
WA t sisreadered another day necessary to fix upon
a successor to that much-lamented Nobleman, and
settle the Indian appointments, necessarily involved
in that event. It was added, that this business
would be adjusted yesterday, and that the whole
plan will be certainly submitted to His MAJESTY
this day. Of this, however, we entertain some
doubt. Speculative politicians may form a new
ministry or a new coalition, in their closet, with
great ease and celerity ; but the praetical execution
is generally a matter of some difficulty. We think,
if it can be completed in the course of a week or
ten days, the intended length of Their MaJtsrtes
visit to town, that the country will have no reason
to complain of delay. Mr. FRANCIS is named as
the successor to Marquis CORNWALLIS. We should,
perhaps, rather say he has been designated by his
friends, as Lord GainviLtt certainly had not time
to tura the subjeet in his mind, when the report re-
spelling Mr. Fa •ICCIII was circulated. Another re-
port stated, that some difference had already taken
place between the heads of the two parties, which
are expeeted to compose the New Ministry ; Lord
Gamey' xtz being anxinus to appoint the Marquis
Wit.essstv to a particular post in the new Ca-
binet, and Mr. Fox objefling to it. This report
we believe entitled to still less credit than
the former. It is supposed to have been raised,
and industriously propagated, by some of the
dependents of the now expiring Ministry ; who,
having sinned beyond forgiveness against the
FOIITES and the GRENVILLES, are grown des-
perate, and give vent to their rage and disappoint-
ment in the propagation of rumours, injurious to the
dignity and character of the party. At two o'clock,
Lord HAwtcssacav arrived at the QUEEN'S House,
and was admitted to an audience of His MAJESTY,
which lasted above an hour. This event soon
became generally known, and the reports of diffi-
culties and delays were renewed with encrcaiel

' confidence. We do not believe that any serious
difficulty hai arisen in the formation of the New
Arrangements, upon the original plan, tho' -hey'
do not proceed with a degree of celerity, sufficient
to answer the Public expenation. Except Leer.
HAW/CY:51010( and the ROYAL DUKES, His MA.•
acsrst received no visitors yesterday. Lord GliLN-
viccs did not see him. His lordship had an ap•
pointment with Mr. Fox and Viscount SIDEIOUTII,
at Mr. Fox's house, in Arlington-street, at nine
o'clock at night. Mr. Fox dined out with Lord
Geolicie CA•f NIIIISII, at his house, in Saville-street;
and had not returned when Lord Gitesivit.t.a and
Viscount SIDMOUTII arrived at Arlington-street.—
Lord GaENYILLE'S carriage was immediately sent to
bring Mr. Fox home ; and, after his arrival, he held
a conference with these two Noblemen, which con-
tinued for more than an hour. His MAJCSTY will
sleep at the QUEEN'S House,until his return to Wind-
sor, that be may be constantly present to superintend
the new arrangements, until their final completion.

Yesterday a Court of Dire tors was held at the
East India House, for the purpose of reading the
Dispatches brought by the Medusa frigate.
'l-he Court came to an agreement to wear mourn-
ing for one month, in compliment to the memory
of the deceased Marquis CORNWALLIS, to com-
mence on Sunday next.

The Court adjourned at six o'clock till this day.

Sir GEORGE B•RLOW WAS far advanced on his
journey to Ghauzepore to join the Marquis CORN-
WALLIS, when he was met by Mr. ROBINSON, who
acquainted him with the death of Marquis CORN•
WA LI. IS. The Guvergrnent General devolving on
Sir GEORGE, he immediately appointed Mr. Uo.
REY, Vice-President ; and Mr. LGNISDEN (Secre-
tary to Government), three in Council.
Previous to the death of Marquis COINWA LL ill, ad-
vices had been received of the release of the British
Residency by SCIND/ A, and of Mr. JENZlss's arrival
in the camp of Major-General Jonas, at,Tonk ;
.of
Se ND I complete separation from the interests of
Ho z z A Is, and of a Vakeel having been delegated, with
full powers to enter into a negociation with the Bri-
tish Government, for the adjustment of all differ-
ences between the two States. The Vakeel had been
publicly received in Camp by Lord 1./att.—Sir
GEorroz BA RLOW, had passed Benares,. on his way
to the Upper Stations, where he was proceeding
to Siren the course of the . negociatio4s; with .
'Serried, with which Chieftain there was every prop-
ped of a speedy anal satisfaftory arrangement.—
'lo A it's troops were again in motion, and had ad-
vanced towards the coantry of the Seiks, on whose
aftive co-operation he professed to have rgu*cla sle-
peldeuce ; but it was not apprehended that be
would derive any assistance from themi Part of
his force, consisting of infantry, with some guns,
were detached, and actually had entered the pro-
vinces ceded to the East India. Company, by the last
treaty. Lord I-AK' was preparing to send a force
to reduce this detachment,.which it Was expecetd
would be overtaken before it could do any Mis-

chief. _

Extract of a letter from an Officer of the Baring

formed us that Admiral Limon, with the Iforerree
and Belle Poole, intended to sail the next day in
search of us. Having received intelligence of our
' coming, from an American from Batavia, which
had passed through the fleet, the Commodore lin-
' mediatly changed the course,
__ and declared his inten-
tion of steering for the Brazils, instead of St.
Helena ; the same evening, we lost the fleet, and
arrived here on the '2d inst. as did also the Air/ea
Cattle, which had likewise lost the Commodore on
the 12th November. Five days previous to our
arrival here, a ship of the line and a frigate passed
the Island. An American vessel from the Cape,
says the Admiral left Table Bay on the 9th No-
vember, intending to cruise off St. Helena six
weeks, and then go to the River Plata. The
louts French frigate is lost at the Cape.
