LONDON, AT AY x, 1804.

THAT most important and desirable event, which
we have for some time past prediCled, may now be ,
considered as being on the point of taking place—
we mean the dissolution of the present Ministry ;
for that is, the
.only interpretation we can put upon
the language of Lord HAWICESBURY last night in
the House of Peers. When the Marquis of STAT..
?ORD was on the point of rising to submit his
Motion to the House, Lord HA.WICESIILTRY rose ,
and requested the Noble Marquis to postpone his Mo-
tion to a future day, in consequence of some circum.
stances having occurred, which he could not, con.
sistently with his public duty, state at that time,
but which he declared, upon his responsibility, and
upon his charaCter as an individual, to be of a na.
ture that he was sure their Lordships would deem
sufficient to warrant him in asking the Noble Mar.
quis to postpone his Motion.
ship was re Though his Lord.
peatedly pressed, he declined being more
explicit upon the subjeft, and it was at length agreed
that the Motion should be postponed to Friday. A
Conversation of a similar tendency took place in the
House of Commons., between Mr. Fox and Mr,
ADDmc-roti, in consequence of which it was
agreed, that all business upon which any difference
of opinion was likely to arise, should be postponed,
fora few days.
A Cabinet Council' was held on Sunday night,
and another yesterda
the two y, previous to the meeting of
Houses, in which
osed , as it is generally sup.
p, Ministers, finding it impossible any longer
to contend against the combined rank, talent, and
property opposed to them, determined, in order to
avoid the disgrace of a complete defeat, to resign
their situations. , Another great and important
measure is said to be in agitation, but it is one of
such peculiar delicacy, that we forbear to offer any
°Pillion upon the subjeft, until we are in complete
possession of all the has.

e stated yesterday, that Mr. Alm! xcnotkr had
concluded the Bargain for the Loan, and also the
Terms upon which it was made ; and last night, in
the House of Commons, he stated the Supplies and
'Ways and Means for the year, or, as it is usually
termed, opened the Budget. He proposed that a
SUM of One Million a year should be levied as a War
Tex : in order to raise this sun! he
additional dut proposed an
yof 81. , per ton upon Wine. It will
e recolkeeted that a Duty of zol. a ton was o.
ed on Wine last year, but it was afterwards pr
reduceposd
to 121. The additional Duty of
only brin 81. will therefore
g it up to the :01. proposed last year. This
Tax, it is expeded, will produce zooioool.
It is also proposed to increase the Custom
Duty on Im-
Wool a year.
Potts, with the excepti of Win; Tea, and Cotton
, which, on
it is calculated
making together One , will produce 800,0001.
IVlillion. The Interest of the
Loan, Sinking Fund, and charges of numagement,
amounting to 736,0001. is to be provided for by an
provement in the
augmentation in the
Stamp Duties, and by some im.
mode of their colledion, which it
is supoosed will increase that branch of the Revenue
800,0001. a year.

Ttt Is morning we received three Flaml,urgh
Letters from Muilith dated April 4, confirm the
account of the departure of M Dtt
r. Att F, from that
City in the night between the tst and 2d ult It
.
appears, by an article dated Constantbrop/e, March
34, that fresh disturbances have broken out in
gypt, and that ALI PACHA was murdered on his
way from Alex,lndria to Cairo. The Beys, who
Ire supposed to have procured hiy assassination, in_
sited the late Governor of Cairo to resume his
11...ce, which he declined ; and in order to restore
1/Anquillity, GHEZZAR PACIIA, the celebrated
Dadia of Acre, has been appointed to that office.
PARIS, APRIL 18.—The Senatui Coasultum,
which is to settle the Hereditary Permanence of the
Government, in a manner the most conducive to
the Welfare of France and the tranquillity of the
Wor!d, is expe&ed shortly to make its appearalce.
Lo
vls BoNAPARTr ha, been appointed a Coon.
of cillor of Stare, as he is the only one of the Brothers

=urnstance seems not irtelative to the reports which
Still continue, of the establit,liment of an Hereditary
S.Jccession.
ANTwErty, API: I L It.---It appears that the Ex-
}:edition against England will not be undertaken
1141 all the French and Ba,avian FiQtillat' have

farmed a jursaion at Boalostte, which will be in a
rnrnth or six weeks.

We have received, through, lit medium of a Dutch
Paper, another Report of the Grand Judge of
France, respelling the supposed Plot carried on
under the auspices of Mr. DRAKE, and in which
Mr. SPENCER SMITH, the British Minister at
Stutgard, is now implicated. The whole charge
is founded upon the evidence of a Frenchman of the
name of Roser, who is represented as having in-
sinuated himself into the confidence of Mr. DRAKE
and Mr. SMITH, for the purpose of betraying them.
Upon this subje& we can only repeat our opinion,
that the greater part of this Correspondence has
been fabricated by the French Government or their
Agents ; and we are the more confirmed in that
opinion, by a Circular Letter sent by Lord HAwKEs.
BURY to the Foreign Ministers, in which he so.
lemnly disavows, on the part of the British Govern..
ment, any knowledge of the Plot attributed to Mr.
DRAK •

It is stated in an article from Munich, that
Mr. DRAKE being informed that a number of
Gens d' Armes had left Strasburgh with a view to
arrest him, demanded of the Bavarian Minister
an assurance of his safety, which being delayed, he
immediately quitted Munich. But he had previ-
ously received a Note from the Minister of the
ELECTOR, in which His Highness declares, that he
could no longer receive Mr. DRAKE at Court, or
have any communication with him.—Mr. SP E NC E
SMITit, it is also stated, had departed suddenly
from &regard.

Yesterday His MAJESTY rode in the Queen's

HER MAJESTY.

Sir LUCAS PErys had yesterday an audience of
Mr. ADDINGTON.

LordliAwKEssußY ha: within these few days
written a Circular Letter to the different Foreign
Ministers, in which His MAJESTY'S disavowal of
any knowledge of the Plot attributed by the French
Government to Mr. DRAKE, as unequivocally ex.
pressed ; but his Lordship at the same time insists,
that with respeet to the general principles, there
are certain cases in which a Government may em.
ploy its Agents to distraa an Enemy and frustrate
his plans, without any violation of the established
Law of Nations.
