RUMOURED CHANGE OF

MINISTRY.

It is rz:moured that the state of Lord JOHN
LEFEEIL'3 heal,h will compel him to retire from the
arduous duties of office at an early period, and that
th:s retirement must necessarily bring with it exten-
sive Ministerial changes.
The decl-aration made by Sir ROBERT PEEL to the
highest personage in the realm that the state of his
healfh would prevent him from ever again under
taking the onerous duties of Prime Minister, unavoid-
ably comp:da those who think on such subjects to con-
template the composition of a Government that would
not include him as the head of it; but no one would
&sire to see a Government formAl that had not the
a !vantage of Sir R. PEEL'S cordial support. To ob-
r.in this some of the leading Members of the late
Cabinet must be comprised in the arrangement
The bond of union in such a Government would be
unity of principle—" ideas velle et idem nolle:
The members of it must agree on the financial, the
commercial, and the colonial policy. It is unneces-
sary to advert to foreign policy, for in the present
state of Europe it is impossible to predict what the
foreign policy of this or of any other country is to be.
The following, sketch of the alteration in the
h(dders of office, which such a fusion of parties would
involve, is submitted as one that would at once ob- j
tain the entire confidence of the, country :
Lora CLARENDON—instead of Lord JOHN RUSSELL.
81r J. GRAHAM—Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Mr. GLADSTONE—Board of Trade.
Lord Anaanmart—Privy Seal.
Lord LINCOLN—Board of Control.
Lord HARDINOB—Lord-Lieutenant.
Mr. Ca anwaLL--Secretary for Ireland.
Lord MAHON and Lord JOCRLYN—Secretaries to the
Board of Control ; end other arrangements.
Presuming that the cordial
supportginfobily Sir
R. PEEL to such a Government would b
by the support of his friends in and out of ProiZad
ment, it is not too much to estimate the addition to
the working Ministerial majority of 30 votes.
It is also highly probable that a large portion of
the Conservative Members, who, although they
differed from Sir ROBERT PEEL on the great ques.
tion of the repeal of tha corn-laws, never lent
themselves to the virulent hostility displayed by a
few individuals, would support such a Government.
The motive for doing so is sufficiently obvious—the
present state of the British empire, and the un-
s,ttled and alarming condition of Europe, imperatively
requires that there should be a strong Government
in England.

It may be confidently asked from what other com-
binations can a strong Government be formed? The
elevation of Sir C. WOOD, Sir J. lionnousE, and
Mr. LABOUCIIERE to the Peerage, will give additional
strerrg:h to the Administration in the House of
Lonl'3. Comnzunicatal.
