LONDON.
TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 14, 1835.

th ROBERT PEEL stated in the House of Corn-
fp:lls last night that he had received an intimation
414 his MA JES T Y that arrangements for the formation
40 a new Alinistry were in progress, but were
plp,tnillY completed. To give time for their com-
e Right Honourable Baronet moved an
wl°llrnment of the House to Thursday next, which
hie agreed to as a matter of course. On that day,
"Peeted, the formation of the new Cabinet will
oftahtin°unced, and new writs moved for, in the case
t°se Members who may have accepted office.
40 Y whom the different departments under the new
torverument are to be filled cannot- until then be ac-
liev4telY known, though there is every reason to be-
reeat Lord MELBOURNE will, in a great mea-
,
fo
be; availr
colleagues. Whether any and what new Mem-
wta. aY be introduced into the Cabinet, we cannot
tioo, it any degree of certainty. Various specula-
polo"tnd rumours are afloat on the subject. The ap-
that taent which seems to excite the greatest interest is
ef Lord Chancellor. Those politicians who would be
411:1. t° see legal reform carried to a greater extent than
tli:;tkeady reached, and who it may without a breach of
itteY be suspected, are not altogether without an in-
of the Or retaining bias, as it may be called, in favour
'kite old system, give out that Lord BROUGHAM is
fOrth°,be Chancellor ; and the only reason they assign
/Siobits is, that there is a personal dislike towards the
and Learned LORD in a high quarter. We
the-4 there is not a word of truth in this report. In
allytitlarter alluded to, we have no reason to think that
ter:
_inetiell feeling exists. There may be another guar-
tere may be a power behind the throne
4k/It d to oppose Lord BROUGHAM'S appoint-
-1114 .i.to his former high office, but we cannot think
i idOrd MELBOURNE would consent to deprive
tliphatiministration of Lord BnouGHAAt's powerful
klliehl, in deference to a prejudice such as that to
1141141 we have referred. Indeed,• we can imagine
410,e g more fatal to an Administration--nothing
into calculated to bring it into suspicion, and finally
nerale°,4tempt than the opinion, becoming ge-
tnitt its Chief had his hands so bound up, that he
hee.a. `k}lllot call to his side those Statesmen whose ser-
thepae might think essentially requisite to promote
iltspfulievveal, and whom (as in the case before us) the
Ilhti',regard with feelings of the deepest gratitude for
don o anours in their cause. What has Lord BROUGHAM
Iktionthat he should be excluded from that Adrninis-
ketic (for so we may call it) of which he was for-
lloptiji (for
of the main supports? Has he sunk in
llopti4P estimation? This is not pretended. The
kivrtneillied attempt of a portion of the press to run him
is not only completely failed, but recoiled upon his
his itlnts, and overwhelmed them with disgrace. Are
e°lllParable powers of mind on the decline ?
pobliitever were in greater vigour. Why, then, the
Ilithe will ask, is the country to lose the services of
roan, at such a time ?
