THE CHANCELLORSHIP OF TIIE DUCHY OF LAN-
CASTER, according to the Telegraph,, which was offered to
Mr. Selwyn, has been declined by that gentleman. Theta
remain some doubts as to the mode in which the vacancy
will be filled up ; but there is a report that it may be ten-
dered to Sir Robert Peel, and that it may be accepted.
The Sunday Gazette, however, remarks that no appoint-
ment, to the Chancellorship of the Duchy of Lancaster had
been made up to last evening.
