all without the country having deep and early
cause to lament that he had done so ; and it is
equally irreconcileable with the supposition that,
his Majesty intends, almost in the very set
of ascending the throne, to dismiss the Councillors
upon whom his beloved and lamented brother re-
posed his Royal confidence to the last moment of
the very close of his happy and glorious reign. This,

!indication of the prospects of the eager aspirants to
power proceeds from the highest source. Let us
now direct our view to another almost as clear, but

proceeding from what we are almost justified in pro-
nouncing the lowest. Mr. Brougham on Saturday
heaps reproaches the most indecent and unmea-
sured upon the Lord Steward of the Household, a
personal friend of the late King. On Monday the
same Mr. Brougham admits that those reproaches
were wholly undeserved, upon information which
he says he did not possess on Saturday, but which
was as much within his reach on Saturday, when he
uttered the abuse, as on Monday when he offered
the atonement. How far this conduct is compatible
with manly or honourable feeling, it is evidently
needless to inquire. What is plain, however, is,
that no man who saw the road to official dignity
and power open to him would have adopted a line
of conduct which, to describe it by the mildest
epithet, was rash, indiscreet, and undignified. If
the Whigs had a chance of obtaining poli-
tical power, Mr. Brougham would have felt
in advance some of the responsibility of great-
ness ; and as he is not deficient in pene-
tration or sagacity (whatever may. be his
deficiencies in other respects), we may fairly infer
from his conduct in tlsis instance that they have
none.' The question however will, in all probabi-
lity, soon be set at rest. Mr. Peel intimated last
night in the House of Commons that he should this
day have a Message to communicate from the Sove-
reign to his Parliament, and, upon the express
ground of this expected communication from the
Throne, declined to enter upon any political discus-
:sion. Whatever may be the subject of this Mes-
Isage, it is next to impossible that it should not di-
rectly or indirectly convey a pretty accurate notion
of the degree in which the present Ministers enjoy
the favour and confidence of their Royal Master.—
In the Extraordinary Gazette published last night
(which is given in another part of our Paper) we
think we discover some new features in the. orders
respecting the general mourning—we mean as far
as they regard the Army and Navy—which as
affording an additional tribute on the part of his
present Majesty to the memory of the deceased
Monarch, are alike creditable to his taste and ho-
nourable to his heart.—Morning Post.
We announced, some time ago, that as soon as
his present Majesty should be placed on the throne
of these realms, a change of men, if not also a
change of measures, would speedily ensue ; and we
intimated yesterday that one Noble Peer had been
requested to take office. We now repeat our asser-
tion in that respect with much more confidence
than we announced it yesterday. There will be a
change of politics—at least of foreign politics—to
some extent ; and also, we are assured, from a
quarter on which we can rely, a considerable change
of men. Until the funeral of the late King is over
no change will, of course, take place; but that,
ceremony will have no sooner taken place, than the
parties whose names we mentioned yesterday will
have to retire from situations which they have so
inadequately filled. Nothing, indeed, was ever
known so pitiful, so weak, so inefficient, and, in
some respects, so mischievous, as the present Mi-
nistry in the House of Commons—it is in every
respect—we beg pardon of Sir James Scarlett—
truly contemptible—and there is nothing more
ardently desired, on the part of the British public,
than, along with a new King, all expulsion, with
few exceptions, of the whole existing Ministry, and
their re-placement by men of sounder views, and
more honest principles.—alforning Advertiser.
We give to-day what we consider the best account
of the Proclamation of his Gracious Majesty
William the Fourth, as King of these realms ; and
every reader of our Paper, we are confident, re-
joices with us that a British seaman now presides
over the destinies of the country. His Majesty
has always been popular, but never more so that
when he was Lord High Admiral; and we hare
every reason to believe if he will now only follow
the bent of his own natural inclination—that if he
will pay that attention to the restoration of the
Navy which he manifested on a late occasion, and
that wish to render himself accessible and agreeable
which has always characterised him—there will not,
in the whole line of his predecessors, be a more
popular Monarch. Of the intrigues which are going
on to sap and undermine his regal station we know
something, and have heard much snore; but Nve
trust that there is not an unprejudiced Englishman
in the kingdom who would not look narrowly into
any attempt of the kind. His present Majesty is in
every respect fitted to govern the kingdom, except,
perhaps, that he is not inclined to be equally sub-
servient with his predecessors to the powers that
be; but the English public will the more readily
support him that he takes an anxious an
,active interest in its welfare. The idea of a
Regency is, in fact, wholly out of the question it
his case ; and should it be mentioned by any of the
ambitious or place-hunting men of the day, wi
trust it will meet with the indignation which it EA
amply deserves.—Morning Advertiser.
