LONDON,
TUESDAY, MAY 26, 1812.

'The negociations for the formation of. a new 1
Aiministration have not yet succeeded. • The
Marquis WELLESLEY, as We stttted yesterday,
finds new- difficulties to
_contend against at every
turn. We confess that we shall rejoice most sin-
cerely at the failure of any attempt to bring in the
Opposition 'as a party to
,act upon the 'principles
whicb they have Uniformly professed, because
ve think those principles inconsistent with
the welfare of the"., Country, either with a
view to its foreign or domestic policy. It is
,not
easy indeed,' to conceive how the Marquis WEL-
LESLEY and Mr. CANNING, with their opinions
upon the war in the Peninsula, upon the Orders
, •
in Council, and upon the discussions with Ame-
rica, can by possibility coalesce with the Oppo-
sition, where opinions upon all 'these points are,
avowedly diametrically -opposite.: We, stated,
upon a forma occasion, that upon all ques-
tions of general policy, one only excepted,
there- is scarce a shadow of difference 'be--
tw-een- the present Ministers, and' the Marquis
WELLESLEY and Mr. CANNING, and even upon
the pOint on which they do' diffet, their. dif-
ference does not appear to be of an irreconcilable
nature. We are, therefore, still inclined to re-
tain the hope, that the existing Achninistraion
will be strengthened by the addition of the abili-
' ties of 'those distinguished Statesmen. We have
heard, and we shall be happy to find it true, that
Lord I‘l6iaa has expressed his willingness at this
most arduous juncture, to
.exert his talents in
the service of his Country and of his -Prince.
An Administration composed of thallarquis WEL-
LESLEY, Mr. CANNING, and Lord MoiaA, in ad-
dition to, the majority of the present Cabinet,
would, tine are sure, possess-the entire confidence
of the country, and' we are not Without hopes
that such a one may be formed.

The following intelligence was this morning
received at Lloyd's, from Plythouth,:— ,
RETURN OF THE FRENCH SQUADRON
FROM THE WEST INDIES.
PLY SOUTH, M 24,—Arrived this morning
the ship Patent, -of London, Capt.M‘MAmeßs.
She sailed from hence a short time since for 34-

maica, but on the 17th instant, in lat. 30. long

14. she fell in with the enemy's squadron, con

sisting of the A-lane of 44 guns, Andromache 44
guns, and the Manieluke of 16 guns, under the
command of Commodo►e FERTIER. This squa-
dron left Nantz on the 9th of January, and a few
days after chased the Surveil,tante frigate into Cb-
runna, since which they have been to the West
Indies, but' did not touch at any of the islands.=
The object of the cruize appears to have been,
wholly, plunder, in which they have, unfoytu-
nately, but too well succeeded, as will appear by
the following list of vessels captured': .the greater
part of theta had valuable cargoes. Tice enemy
either burnt or sunk all of them, after taking out
the most valuable things on board :
