Tii'arrangements for the new Administration
yg,not yet completed. The Marquis WELLESLEY
received, as we before •stated, the PRINCE RE-
GENT'S_ commands to lay before him the plan of
.an Administration, of which hisiordship was 'to
le the head. He immediately had a communi-
'ation with' the Noblemen and Gentlemen
whom we mentioned on Saturday evening, -viz.
the Marquis, of .LANsEbowN, Lords IIoLLA's.o,
MotEA, etc. and, we - understand, also with
LordB GREY and GRENVILLE, who, it iS
said, have declined coming into office themselves,
but at the same time
,expressed a wish that their
friends should not adopt similar conduct, but
should lend their assistance in forming the Admi-
t •
nistration. Other accounts state that Lor' ci GREN-.
MLLE--only declined accepting of office, lnit that
Lord GREY has, declared his -willingness to form a
part.of the Government. Au- aftplication was, at
the same time, made, through the medium of Mr.
CAN.NING, tQLordLIvERPooL, LOTGICASTLEREAGII,
andthe other Members of the present Cabinet, who,
says/ the Morning Chronicle, " with one single
exception (LOrd-MELvILLE) returned a negative,
and added,: that they
.could, not consent, after
what had recently happened, to serve with the
Noble Marquis.'

This is not correct ; Lord LIVERPOOL. and his
Colleagues have not expressed any unwillingness
to serve with the Noble Marquis, but they have
r .:fased to abandon those principles which_ they.
'consider as best calculated to promifitte the interest
and welfare of the country. . The Chronicle
is also incorrect .in stating that Lord
viLLE's answer to the proposition.. that was
made to him differed from thbse of his colleagues;
it wasnexactly the sauce. From all the informa-
which.we have been able to collect) the Mar-
eiti!S WELLESLEY has found naorse. difficulties than
v.-as .expected intim formation of a new Ministry.—
difficulties arising partly from the great differences
of opinion that prevail among the-public men, and
from the desire of some of those who have been
applied to, to be themselves at the head of the Ad-
rnihstration;

This morning an Anholt Mail arrived, extracts
from which-will:he found in 6 subsequent column.

The following letter was this morning received
at Lloyd's respecting the Earthquake at the Ca-

rzccas :

FAL NT 0 TH MAX 22.—As my- account of this
m,..lancholy circumstance has been much clisput-
esi, and froM some quarters- flatly contradicted;
it behoves me to state, what, authority I had for
silch a communication.

• The following; is .corrpcily what I learnt from
Captain SuTT.ow, of the Wiiitisor Castle packet :---

OA the I7th of April u sehOoner arrived at
Martinique, after a passage of seven days, from
Ci:racoa,:bringing an account that an English fri-
gate had arrived at that place with several persons
who had' escaped from La Guira and'Caraeas, at
which places a. dreadful ,earthquake had been felt,
Which destroed 15,000 inhabitant 3, and seventeen
Cii urei; es 'itt Caracas. At La Guira about' 1;400
people. The exact amount of loss could not be
had.

" The frigate was v,4 tering at Tortuga, when
these people escaped from the shore, Capt. SUT-
TON further informed me that the shock was felt

at Denlerara.

On Saturday, at three o'clock, his Royal High-
ne6s. the Prince Regent held a Privy Council at
Carlton-House, which, was attended by Viscount
Sidmouth, 2rlr. Ryder, and several others,' for the
purpose, it is reported, of swearing in the Earl
of Buckinghamshire Chancellor of the Duchy of
Lancyter, in the room of the late Mr. Perceval.
Yesterday the Duke of York and Lord Eldon
Lad audiences of the Prince Regent. '
Saturday morning Earl Fitiwilliqm - transacted
business at the Secretary of State's'Office, for the
Home -Department, in consequence of sonic ac-
counts be had receiyed from Yorkshire.
Last &gilt, the Dowager Marchioness of LaTlS-
down'gave her usual banquet to a number of dis
fashionables, at her house in Albe-
murie-street..
Yesterday the Earl of Mountnorris,
,as he was
stepping into his carriage in §tratford-place,, suf-
fered an apoplectic .stroke.
There was a report prevaileNast night that the
hake of NENtTCATLE had been shot, near his seat
of Glumber Park, in Nottinghamshire, by a party
of the Luddites; but not being able to trace, so
calamitous an event to any authentic source, we
trust that such report will prove groundless.
