binet so measured out by.preliminary stiptilatifm.
The times imperiously require an Administration
united-in principle, -and • strong in Mutual reli-

Crown, and assured of its support in those healing

which are necessary .to secure the Government,
the opinion and affections of the people., _
No such hope. is presenited to us by this pro-
ject, which appears to us equally new in practice,
and objectionable in principle. ..It tends, as we
,think, to establish within the Cabinet itself, a
system of counteraction inconsistent r.with the
prosecution of any

only of disunion and weakness 'in the Administra-

The answer which you and Lord G.renville have
returned to the proposal made, by Lord. Welles-
ley seems to throw an oblique iinputatiOn upon
ire; therefore I entreat, your reconsideration of
your Statement as far as:it itin! Convey that ina-
peachment of a procedure in which 1 was involv-
ed., You represent the proposition for an arrange-
ment submitted to you as one calculated to found
a Cabinet upon a principle of .counteraction.—
When the most 'material of the public objects
which Were to be the'immediate grounds of that
Cabinei's exertion had been previouslvtinderstood:
bet Ween -the parties, I own it.is difficult for nee
to comprehend what principle Of CounteractiOn.
could be. introduced. if there be. any ambiguity,
which does not strike me, in Lord Wellesley's last
Taper, surely the construction, Ought to be sought
in the antecedent communication ; and I think
the basis on Which that communication had an-
nounced the intended Cabinet to stand vas per-
fectly clear. With regard to. the indication of
certain individnals, I eau assert that it NITS a men-
SUlT:adopted through the highest spirit
.of fair
ness to you and your .
Mr, Canning's name Was mentionect, because
LOrd 'Wellesley would haVe declined Office Without-
him ; and it was a frankness to appise yon of it :
and Lord Erskine's and mine were stated with a
view of sheaving that Lord Wellesley,
,s`o :far-from
having any jealousy to maintain a preponderance.
in the Cabinet, actually left a majoritito those
who had been' accustomed to concur coon most
public cinestions ; and he specified Lot,diErSkine
and Myself, that you rftight see' the nwialber sub-
mitted for your exclusive nominaiiiid was not
narrowed by the necessity Of •advertenc.'e to us.
The choiceof.au additional Member of the
net' left, to you must prove hOw undistingui§hable:
we considered our interests and' yours when_this
was referred to your 'consideration as -a mere Mat-
ter of convenience, the -embarrassment of a nu-
merous Cabinet' being well known. The refer-
ence'to Memberi of the late Cabinet, or other
persons, was always to be coupled with the esta-
blished point that they were such .es could- coneur
in the, principles laid down as the ,f6undation of
the protected Ministry ; and the statement was
principally dictated by the wish to shew, that no
system of exclusion could interfere- with the ,ar-
rangeinentS which ,the public service might de-
inand. On the Selection of those persons, I aver,
the Opinions of you, Lord Grenville, and the
others Whom you might bring forward as Mem-
bers of the Cabinet, were to operate as fully' as
-our,own, andthis was tahethe case also,with re-
gard to the sub Ordinate offices. The expression
that this was to be left to be proposed by Lord
Wellesley, was. intended -to proye that his Royal
highness did not, even in, the most indirect man-
ner, sugge:st any one 'of those individuals.
1:: is really hnpcssible that the spirit of fair-
MSS Ciri have an carried farther than.hus been
the intention in this negociatiou. 1 therefore la-
inent most deeply that an arrangement so impor-
tant.for the,interests of the country should go -off
upon points whie:li I cannot but think wide: of the
'substance °Utile case. (Signe.cl)

Wroasnir -STREET.---IL person, named George
Pirillictin Morris, was brought up yesterday ,at:' this
Office, and underwent a long examination upon
three charges of forgery.
The ,fii.st was preferred by Mr. Selwyn, an up,
bolsterer and, blanket warehouseman in. the LOn-
don-road, who stated that the prisoner came to
his house in the month of junuary last,, and repre-
sented himself to be a prisoner in the King's Bench
prition, hat had the '`. run of the key;", or in other
words that he. contrived to get out of confinement
by bribing the 'gaolers 3 that having about twenty
beds in'the Beach, wtlich he was accUstomedito
let to different prisoners confinedtherein, he Want-
ed some blankets., ,Ho had treviously „purchased
and paid for about ten pounds worth of goods.—
getting this: order the prosecutor went for
a,refereuce to the prison, where he was told that
the prisoner was the•ricdtest man in the gaol, and
that he was worth 30001, Satisfied with this
ac-
count, he suffered thic prisonet6 take about fifty-
three pounds worth 'of blankets, in payment for
which he gave:hirn an acceptance-for 531. of per-
sons of the name-of Richard Caster and;-Co.
Broad-street, Bristol, which te,said W,as it!4 good
as the Bank, and that every one in the bill way
knew them. He was accordingly prevailed upon
to take it, but.- it turned out that no, such per-
sOns:as Richard Caster and Co. were in existence.
When the bill was rettTaed: to him, he went to
the prisoner in the Bench ~aid demandcdpayment,
but he laughed, at. him, -and said he would be
d--1-41 if he Wq-uld pay In , The prosecutor never
had -the means of proving by living testimony that
no such persons as the prima facie acceptors of the
bill were in existence until yesterday, which he
sustained by the evidence of a Mrs. Lane,- the,
wife of a trades Man in Holborn.

The prisoner on this charge ;was coinmitted.
