Lor(l3lolkis having failed in his efforts to form
an Adminiitration, yesterday waited upon his
Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, and hav-
ing stated the insuperable difficulties he had to
encounter, advised his Royal Highness, under all
the circumstances of the case, 'Co have recourse to
Lord LIVERPOOL and his Colleagues. With this
, •
advice his Royal Highness complied; land Lord
LIVERPOOL, in the (coarse of the afternoon,
• kissed hands upon being appointed First Lord of
the Treasury. Our Readers 'will perceive, by a
reference to the Parliamentary proceedings, that
a very interesting conversation took place in the
House of Lords upon the late Negociations. We
do not wish to aggravate the angry feelings which
are unfortunately entertained, 'by entering into a
premature discussion upon this subject. It is
probable that all the documents relative to these
various • Negociations will be laid before the
public, and then the controverted points may
be
.ffrgued with accuracy and precision.—There
is one point, however, which, in the present
state of the case, we may consider as in-
disputably proved, and that is, that whatever
dilaLlties may have impeded the Negociations
froni•difference of political principles, from per-
sonal feeling, -or from points of etiquette among
public .men, still the efforts of his Royal Highness
'to comply wLh the wishes of Parliament and of
the country, have been incessant. There has been
no reserve ort the part of, his Royal Highness ; the
testimony of Lord MoiRA upon this point is in
disputable. He declared yesterday in his place,
,in the House of Lords; in -the strongest terms,
that there was no reservation in the powers,
which he had ,received from his Royal Highness
to form an Administration. His Royal Highnesi
has indeed shewn upon this occasion, that " he
has no predilection 41 indulge, no resentment to
gratify, no objects to attain, but such as are 'Com-
mon' to the whole Empire.". When the public
recollect the manner in which his Royal Highness
has been assailed for the last four months by the
adherents of the Party, and the rancorous and in-
decent attacks which have been daily made upon
.hins, they will be able justly
.to appreciate the
magnan;mity which has marked every part of his
conduct.

The appointment of Lord' LIVERPOOL to be
first Lord of the Treasury has, of,cOurse, excited
the displeasure of the Opposition Writers, and
the patriotic declaration of Lord MoIRA, that " he
should feel it his duty to support any body of men
whom his itoygi Highness might choose to ap-
, point, as far as was consistent with tbose great
political principles which he had always main-
tained in that House, and which he must always
promote ,as far as his abty extended," will, if
we are not much deceiver expose his Lordship
to a similar misfortune. Lords ELDON and Li-
VERPOOL have been selected as the peculiar ob-
jects of hostility, and,the supporters-of the Party,
for wanf of argument, have descended to per-
sonal inode of attack.as inconsistent
with the manners of Gentlemen, as it is with the
gravity that:ought to belong to political discuS-
sion. The Public, however, will require some-
thing more than the fretful ebullitions of an angry
Party to induce them to withhOld their confidence
from the Administration appointed by the PRINCE
llEcn:Nr, after all his Worts to form one upon a
more extended scale, have been frustrated in so

•
extraordinary a manner.
With respect to the actual state of arrange-
ments, we can assure our Readers, that nothing
had been decisively settled at the time when
this paper was put to press but, 'we know,
that at that time, a meeting was sitting at Lord
LlvEaPool.'-:, for the purpose of finally adjusting
en Administration, which, we doubt not, will be
completed this day. Whether Mr:CANNING has
resolved to accept oilice, we cannot positi:siely
say, but we know that •he is upon the best
footing with Lord LIVEI:POOL, and we have rea-
son to believe that he will act towards his
Lordship's Administration, certainly upon prin-
ciples which have the national welfare for
their objects, and with the feelings of a
friend, not with those of an euemy, or those
of a neutral. Lord LIVERPOOL, we are persuaded,
will most zealously and anxiously endeavour to
full the wishe3 of the PRINCE REGENT, and we
rely upon the good sense and public spirit
of those who supported the measures of Mr. PER-
OX PAL, to give him a firm :and active ASSidunge,

This morning a Malta Mail arrived. The fol-
lowing is the only intelligence it brings :

whole day drawn up on the heights of Calrario,

little -uneasiness, but the news of the enemy's re-
treat has somewhat allayed our apprehensions.
NAY. 15.—Nothing new has occurred'. A party
of Hussars of Castile, which the General yester-
day sent to time Venta de Ogen, for the purpose
