WEDNESDAY,.Aram 22.

Ministers, we understand, have finally determined
upon a Dissolution of Parliament, as their only re-
source to enable thorn to continue in office. Some
circumstances have recently transpired, which
evince, that this is not a mere threat to gain over a
few Members, who may contemplate a Dissolution,
as the end of their political career ; but a measure,
aftually resolved u?on, as indispensably necessary
to their exi'tenc?. Tire businesc, at present before
Parliament, msy be disposed of in the course of
three wzeks, so as to adroit of a Prorogation in the
cod of May ; and the Dissolution is expeffed to
take place before the end of June.
