Household. In other words, unless they should have a
sufficient number of places at their disposal, to reward the
patriotism, id est glut the rapacity of their friends. At
the time this demand was made, it was known that four
of the chief Officers of the Household had tendered their
resignation, and therefore it was plain, that no opposition
would be offered to the appointment of their successors.
—But neither this fact, nor the disposition of tl.e
PRINCE to concede every thing, rather than to leave the
country in its state of anxiety, could satisfy the insatiab!e
Peers. They insisted, as a first and necessary step, on
having the power of dissolving, what would cease to exit
as soon as they should enter into Office,and to a mere point
of etiquette, useless to them if conceded, but degrading to
the PRINCE, they wantonly sacrificed the practibility ofrea.
using those measures, on which, according to their inces.
sant declarations, the salvation of the country depended.
So much for their patriotism, their loyalty, and public

spirit.

The follo string Statement was published yesterday by
the Opposition Papers :-
Ist. That though nearly three weeks were spent it what were celled
the late negotiations, no intimation whatever was given eitht r by I.rd
MOIRA, Mr. SHERMAN, or any person who they could cone k ive to ly.iy!
the slightest authority on the subject, either to Lord GR EY or Lord
OR ENVILLe, of the intention of the Officers of the Housell,A ro resin,
2. That having been assured by Lord Mot RA, that he had fell powei,
it was not necessary for them to propose ally previous szipulati:m to be
assented to by the PRINCE or. this subkitt. What tliee Noble Lords h•
sired was, that the usual changes in the Household should be incluLd
in the new arrangements to be asreed on, in order to shew the neet.A-arY
connexion of these Offices with the political Administrition in it. f's,t
formation. This they understood Lord Moi RA to have expressed
termination to resist, and on this determination—so stated on the p,trt
his Lordship—all further discussion became useless.
It is said that on Thursday a meeting was held at Pia
House, at which were present, Lords LtvEuroor, R(LS/
and CASTLEREAGH, and Mr. VANSIrfART, on the p:qt (,f
Ministers, and Mr. SrmoN IVALKEtt, wish .five other G,'a•
tlemen, on the part of the Ikputation giving evideric
Parliament against the Orders in Council ; and that oa
this occasion along conversation took place, dui ing
Lord CASTLEREAGH, who was the principal speaker,
fended the justice and policy of these Orders, and t:1,!
conclusion, observed, that if the Administration now i'rla•
ed were supported by the Legislature and the couiirry,
the Americans would be under the necessity of passively
submitting to these British regulations. After this in' er'_
view, we think little hope can reasonably be indul,6cd
the revocatiou of those measures.
