THE MARQUIS OF STAFFORD's MOTION.

The Aflrquis of STAFFORD.—" My Lords,
/ince last I had the honour of addressing you, I have
been informed that a change has taken place in His
Majesty's Councils, and that a new Administration is
about .to be formed (Lord HAWKESBURY nodded as-
Jent), an Administration, I ani afraid, cot formed
upon that broad and extensive basis which would in-
clude all the talents and abilities of die Country ;
but it must be a matter of some satisfietion that it
will include a Right Hon. Friend •of mine, a Mem-
ber of the other House, on whose talents and
tie 3 I place the highest confidence and relianc,..., and
whose merits are. well known to
.yOur Lordships.—
He has of latt, in a particular manner, direfted his
attention to the Defence of this Country against the
gigantic eff'rts of the Power of France. He may
u ell and truly be called a giant refreshed'—(the
LORD CHANCELLOR bowed).—On these grounds I
stall withdraw the Motion, which I have more than
cace :So:-.r.e.1 it incumbent on me to postpone."
The Order was discharged.—Adjourned till Mon-
day.

SOLES! QUIS DTCERE FALSUM AUDLAT ?

LONDO AY 12, i 804..

WY yesterday expressed our hopes that we should
be able to present to our Readers this day the
detail of

THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.

The following at tangemcnts, we understand, are

dverolined on ;
Mr. PITT, First Lord of the Treasury, and Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer..
L. rd N'IELvILLE,• First Lord of the Admiralty.
Loid HARRONEY, Lord HAWIUSBCRY, and Lord
MULGP.AVE, Secretaries of State.
Lord CA,TI.EkEAGH, Board of Controul.
Lord CAMDEN, President of Council, or Privy Seal.
Right Hon. WM. DUNDAS, Joint Paymaster.
Mr. LONG, and Lord LOVA! N E, Lords of the Trea-

sury.

Mr. SIURGES BOURNE, and Mr. HusKissoN, Se.

cretaries of the Treasury.
Lord W N CHI LSE A, the new Groom of-the Stole.

*We have not. heard who is to succeed the Marquis

of SALISBURY.

At no period has public expeaation been more
alive than in the course of the present week. The
anxious wishes of all Parties have been excited; and
while the formation of an Administration comprising
the talents of all Parties, has been looked upon by
some persons as the greatest desideratum in the pre.
sent situation of the Country, such a plan has been
treated by others as the wildest chimera. It certain-
iy sounds well, to talk of uniting the talents of all
Parties, but perhaps the strongest Administration in
thi.. Country, is that which effeaually checks the
attacks of a strong Opposition ; but, above all, we
can never lend our aid to the employment of
inttcp. to direa the exercise of His MAJESTY'S
PREROGATIVE. We 're told by some of the
Newspapers, that the New will be a LIMITED AD-
MINISTRATION, because HIS MAJESTY is supposed
to have ,i)jcaed to one Individual as forming part
of the. Cabinet ; and the Friends of Lord GREN.
VILLE and Nlr, Fox contend that nothing but
ponce upon the occasion will satisfy them. The
Country, with one voice, would have deprecat_
ed such an attempt. Mr. PITT; in the proposi-
tion he made, went as far as. a just view of the
state of things, and .a due tiecerence. for, his
vcreign's opinion, WOul tstiS,46.ige

many persons who think that the question of an
enlarged Administration ought not to have been
urged at all. On this point, however, we have no dif-
ficulty in saying, that we think the experiment might
have been useful, and that a Ministry formed from
all Parties, might have produced benefit, under the pe-
culiar situation of the Country ; but next to the mak.
ing of this attempt, we are sure that the Adminis.
[ration to be formed is the most desirable event for
the Country. Lord GRENVILLE said formerly,
that if Mr. PITT PLACED HIMSELF AT THE HEAD

OF THE GOVERNMENT, HE SHOULD BE SATISFIED.
He has now shewn his satisfadion, by refusing to form
part of that Government, and by joining distinaly
that Opposition with whom his friends have taken
so much pains to convince us HE HAD NOT CoA,.
LESCF n. We think it but just to say, that through-
out these occurrences Mr. Fox acted a fair and ho-
nourable part—he considered the exercise of THE
PREROGATIVE so undoubted, that however he
might feel hurt at his own exclusion, he pressed
his friends to accept offices under the new Go-
vernment. The GR ENV ILL ES, we understand, ael-
ed a very different part—their conduit is the sub-
jt-I -of very general remark( : it has not happened
to us to hear in any quarter, the slightest justifica-
tion of it.

A Letter from Stockholm, dated the 26th ult.
brought by the Gottenburgh Mail of the 4th inst.
which arrived late last night, says, " It is confi-
dently reported here, that Colonel TAwosT, the
Aid-de-Camp whom His Majesty sent from Carls.
ruhe to Paris, with a view of reclaiming the person
of the Duke D'ENcHt EN, was ordered to quit the
Fiend] Territory in a given time."

Yesterday about one o'clock, Has MAJESTY, 3C.

ceeded through Cornhill, Cheapside, Fleet street,

MAJESTY arrived about three o'clock. The KING
was detained at the Royal Exchange and Ludgate
Hill, and it was no: in the power of the party of
Light Horse attending His MAJESTY to clear the
way, on account of the stoppage of carriages. Has
MAJESTY was received with loud huzzas in several
places. In the course of the morning HIS MAJESTY
signed a number of official papers.

The Letter to Lord ST. VINCENT is, we find,
aaually .-w;thdrevum, and report' says, that the copy-
right was purchased of the Author.—lt is said to
have contained some home truths, and some that
very particularly related to TVICSSI'S. TROUBRIDGE
and I\IARKH Am, as well as to the great Naval
Direilor of this Country.—lf the Author was
convinced of the justice of his reasoning, and the
force of his facts, how can he ever venture to shew
himself, after having sold what he was supposed to
have written from the honest impulse of public
duty ?
Lieur—Colonel-FIELov'S newly invented cannon-
balls, in the shape of an egg, have been
tried at
Stockholm with great success : the force is con-
siderably increased by them, and with a much less
quantity of gunpowder than with the common Can-
non, Ws.
