Lord Grey tooli.occaskin, last. night, in the House ,of
Lords, to open partially to their Lordships, and to the
public, the plan of campaign intended to be pursued by
himself and his colleagues_a plan which has for its basis
the great principles of a reform in the representation t f
the people in the House of Commons—of a retrenchment
of all useless and unnecessary expenditure—and of non-
interference in the internal affairs of. other-States, as' well
the avoidance of all occasions which might engender hos-
tile feelings, or lead to wars which had not for their ob-
ject
the honour and interests of the country. Here is
at once a broad line of demarkation between the Ministers
which are dead and gone, and thoie whom his Majesty
has chosen io appoint in their stead. Reforin mutt now
be granted, and. reform will he granted ; for the coun-
try both wills and wants it—the King has also willed
it—and though there may :be obstacles to be ever-
come in carrying; a law to that effect through both
Houses, we are confident that the measure must
be carried. So also of retrenchment. The country groans
under a load of texatien : which depresses its industry,
limits the comforts of :the great mats of the people,, and
raises up numerous rivals in every boasting of civilization.
Retrenchment, therefore, there must be, and sweeping
retrenchment ; anti the new Ministry has already begun
the good work, by uniting, in the first place, four diffe-
rent offices, formerly held by four different individuals,'
under two effective heads of departments, anti thereby
saving the amount of the salaries tp the ;Odic ;, end, in
the eecond, by determining to abolish the office of Lieute-
nant-General of the Ordnance, for the tentinuance of
which, it will be remembered, that the Ex-Ministers
contended, tooth and nail, even after the Finance Com-
mittee had declared that the office was useless. The Lord
Lieutenancy of Ireland will follow in due course, as soon
as the, new Administration has had time to feel its
ground,; and did our limits permit us, we could state
many other reductions which have been mentioned to us,
as certain to be effected by his Msjesty's present advisers.
With regard to the last article--ton.interference with
foreign countries—our readers will, of course, understand
that the 'principle only extends to the internal affairs of
other nations, and by no means to their relations with this
country.' Lord Grey, indeed, pointedly declared that,
however anxious he might be to avoid occasion!' of war,
it should always be his aim and determination to maintain
the hnnour of the country inviolate, and its interests safe
from injury.' Such, then, are the principles of the new
Administration, They were announced with great modest
by Lord Grey, and, if they are only carried into effect with
temper, firninesi, and diligence—with the teal which
comes a good cause, and the disorition-whieh is necessary
to overcome the resistance: of arm euemitsi and the more
dangerous hostility of false friends.-:,..the new. Adrainia-
tration will reap a richer harvest-of glory and gratitude,
than has ever. fallen to the lot of ,any'ether since the
days of Chatham. At the same, time, the public expecta-
tion must not be too high, or too impatient: The task
which thlanew Ministers have to discharge is arduous and
difficult—they have not only to encounter a numerous
opposition—powerful we will not term it,-.but they have
" to set in order," net only the external, but also the in-
ternal, affairs Of the country. Never, in fact, if these
anti some other, matters aro looked at, did an Administra-
' Con take office miller such disadvantageous circumstances,
and with so many difficulties to conquer, .as that which
was yesterday sworn in ; but its principles are good—its
designs honest and patriotic—and if the country will but
yield :the indulgence which its state' so imperatively de-
mands, we make no question that it will be ultimately
successful, not only in carrying its own principles into
effect, but in accomplishing touch good for the country.
At all events one great good has been gained by the change,
and that good is, that mo Miaistry can come into office
which tliett riot 'emblazon on its shield—Reform and Re.
trenehment.--4/forising Advertiser..

The new Ministry have commenced in a manner ealeu-
hoed in some degree to al the '
,apprehensions of the
well-disposed part of the people upon the sultject of reform.
The Marquis of Lansdowne, 'in presenting some petitions
to the House of Lords last night, took occasion to declare
himself against any species of rash, dangerous, or .sudden
change, This is a becoming deference to correct feeling,
which we at once readily acknowledge and applaud ; and
still more, if possible, is his Lordship entitled to our ap-
proval of his set, timents when he honestly and unequivocally
states thatw ith all his impellingmotives with regard to reform,
be it nut prepared to sanction any !scheme that would not leave
to the property and knowledge of the country a preponde-
ratingstiare of the Representation.
In the present moment of
sedition and revolution, this moderation of sentiment will
afford no slight degree of satisfaction to the loyal and well-
disposed classes of the community ; the more especially as
the Premier, Earl Grey, avowed a perfect coineidence of
sentiment with his Noble Colleague. His Lordship
declared that he could not bring himself to support
or sanction any powerful or extravagant scheme
of Reform., He , did not support and had never sup-
ported those wild notions of universal suffraee, or
annual Parliaments, or any other of the extensive
changes which had been recommended at various times ;
but in every change be should propose he wished
to rest himself upon the basis of the established institu-
tions of the country. So far are the assurances of the
new Ministry in this respect somewhat consolatory; and
it will be the duty of Parliament to place the necessary
safeguard* against any inroads that may, under any
specious pretence, be meditated against the true spirit
and tendency of the*Constitution. The Noble Berl also
described the various other grounds of policy to be
pursued. by the new Ministry, as well with regard
to our financial system as our foreign relations, which may
thus summarily be stated—en cermet desire for the ame-
lioration of all existing abuses and evils ; a fixed determina-
tion to introduce the most rigid economy, in every depart-
ment of the Government, and an anxious solicitude for the
ntaintenance of peace. This all sounds very well, and we
give the Noble Premier lull credit.for the sincerity of his
processions. But we must be permitted to ask, is there
any thing in them which was not practised by the late
Ministers, or which unostentatiously they were not deter-
mined to carry into full and speedy effect? In the can-
dour of his nature we are persuaded hie Lordship will
unhesitatingly admit, that however low faction might
labour to misrepresent the wilt* deeds and goof intentions
of his predecessor, his measure" were thews only upon
which the real interests of the country can safely rest, and
hie own observance of which can alone ensure permanency
to his power or security to the State.—/florning Poit.

NSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nov. 22

Thomas Whinney, describing himself as a clerk and
superintendent to a horse-dealer, was opposed by Mr.

paid down, and the insolvent accepted two bills fer 1,0001. li
