LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING. MAY 15, 1832.

SUN-OFFICE, QUAATER PAST TIIltEl.

Up to the moment we are going;to preps, it is folly
expected that Lord GREY will be sent for by th,
KING.

The Duke of WELLINGTON had a short audience
this morning, but left the Palace abruptly.

NALF-PAST THREE,

We hear on good authority—a high Tory
quarter—that Lord GREY is again Prime
NliniAer !—Success to Reform ! Long live the
KING in the hearts of a grateful, a free, and
a determined people !

If the people of three kingdoms be not altogether
dead—utterly and hopeless'', dead—io the dictates
of justice, honour and common sense ; if public
faith and political principle be not altogether a b).
word and a mockery among them, something to
prate about in theory, buy to repudiate in practice,
they will not allow themselves to be cajoled—in-
sulted—degraded—kTked—spit upon—lax-ridden,
and Bishop-ridden by a 'Wellington Administra-
tion, without protesting against the monstrous
affront, in the very strongest spirit of which la►:-
guac_re is capable. .

A Wellington Administration .r That is to say, a
Reform G.verritnent made up of Anti Reformers I
A W/iig Government made up of Tories I A Li-
beral Governmen, made up of bigots and apostates !
Pshaw ! The bare idea of suet] an outrage on
moral principle stinks in the novrils of every honest
Englishman.

Yet the Great Duke—the Prince of Wa►er!oo--

the hero of a hundred tights—nothing shamed,
nothing daunted by these peculiar difficulties, still
strives his utmost to make up his patchwork Cabi-
net, to lick his cub into something like the resem-
blance of a bear. The scampering of apostates to,
and from, Apsley House still goes on as brisk as
ever. The coquettings with the coy, virgin innocence
of the Ultras, the Waverers, and even with
those paragons of moral and religious purity, the
Bishops, is not in the slight,r!t degree abated.
Yet, strange to say, all is vain. Notwithstanding
protestations, promises, and menaces, the Duke
cannot make up his Cabinet. The whole squad
keep aloof from him, and from each other.
The old adage of " honour among thieves," is re-
versed in their case. Not a man among them ail
but would be glad to rat to the Whigs—by the
Whigs we mean the people, for the terms are syno-
nymous—and even to impeach his old associates.
Gracious God, what a spectacle of humiFa-

tion does the Anti-Reform 'faction at this mo-
ment exhibit ! Covered with disgrace and
ignominy—the subjects of curses and execrations
wherever their names are mentioned—branded as
surpassing rogues in the eyes of all Europe—they
actually stand out on the forehead of the age its one
transcendent, plague-spotted, moral deformity ! Who
henceforth will believe one word these men say ?
Who henceforth w,ll trust either the pledges of a
Tory in Parliament, or of a Tory Bishop in the pulpit?
Who henceforth will even pronounce the word
" Tory," without instantly conjuring up the recol-
lections of practices which it sickens the soul to
think of ? Solemnly, most solemnly, do we protest
in the face of GOD and man, that we never knetv
of what extreme baseness, what incredible vil
lany the human'. mind was capable, 'till we found
baseness, apostacy, and villany exemplified, to their
utmost extent, in the characters and conduct of an
Anti-Reform Reform Administration I
Shall such an Administration come into office ?
Speak, countrymen—you who hold moral principle
and political integrity in respect—who conceive that
in order to become a statesman it is not wholly ne-
cessary to become a rogue ; say, shall this indeed be
so ? Never, shouts England! Never, replies Ire-
land I Never, thunders Scotland in a tone that
might stir the old Cameronians in their graves.
On this point, then, we take for greeted, the
public mind is made up. On this point three
mighty kingdoms are united, and inexorable.
And well, indeed, may they be so. It would
be a stain on the national character, which no
after penitence could wipe away, were the dee-
tinies of a great empire to be committed, for
even a single instant, to the custody of men, who
have proved themselves traitors and renegades
to all that man holds most dear and sacred !

People of three kingdoms, but of " one heart," be
of good cheer. Within the week your friends will he
restored to you. 'Ere May be six days older, Earl
Grey and his colleagues will be re-instated in office,
and your moral principles be thereby saved from
the greatest shock that has ever yet befallen them.

Thank God, principle still prevails over perfidy'
The glorious 288 have now on their side some of
the best, and certainly the most independent men,
in the House of Commons, and why are such
men as DAVIES GILBERT now lending their
assistance ? Because they prefer honour to dis-
honour, because they are men imbued with
the purest religious feelings, and can sooner
abjure their most sacred vows than for a
moment countenance any Administration which
was hatched by perfidy, which can be consummated
only by endless dishonour, and which can be kept in
existence but at the point of the bayonet. The
people of these kingdoms are a generous and fr-
. .
givlng people ; but they are also a religious people,
and their united execrations would hurl front their
seats arty Ministry who for the sake of place would.
sacrifice the most beautiful, if not the first of Christian
virtues—TßUTH. Let these men not deceive them-
selves. The nation will not be trifled with. The
country is not to be convulsed with impunity, be-
cause persona who have broken the most solemn
pledge choose to put themselves forward as candi-
dates for place. The people cannot forget that the
country has been thrown into its present frightful
state in order that a foreign faction and degraded,
dishonest Englishmen may rule. No Reform from
their hands will be received but with loathing and
disgust. It will conic through a polluted source,—
it will come stained with aspot, dishonour—which all
the splendid services, all the military glory even of
WELLINGTON can never effsce. Fur the sake of the
peace of the country, for the sake of his own honour,
and for the alike of the stability of the Throne, sod the
Constitution of the country, we earnestly implore
him to desist before it is too late. The nation will
have Reform, and they wish it only at the hands of
men who have sacrificed place to principle, and who
may exultingly exclaim, with FRANCIS I. of France,
" All is lost but our honour." That, however, is
every thing. It will enthrone them in the hearts
of the people of England; it has already made them
the idol of the independent Members of the House
of Commons; and the wishes of such a House have

never been disregarded with impunity. Let that
House do its duty as it has hitherto nobly dour,
and the country is saved from Revolution. The
devoted conduct of the 288 will never be forgotten;
they have ennobled their character of E:iglishorien,
and let a general election come when it will, they
will not be forgotten by their grateful constituents.

We request the earnest attention of our readers
:0 the animated debate that took place last night n

the lice3e of Commons, more especially to the
lowly declaration of Sir B. INGLis, and the edmirahlc
speeches of Mr. DUNCOmBE and Lord J. RUsSF2,L,

On Saturday afternoon Lord Ilaountraar bade
farewell to the Court of Chent-q----a :.port farewell
it is to be hoped—but yet we grieve that
even this should be so, and we will venture
to say that 99 out of every 100 in
these kingdoms will join us in this feeling. His
enemies—his most dire political enemies !with the
exception of those who are scrambling for the office)
while they know and fear his trauscericiatit ;alt-nts
must regret their loss to rhe crantry. We
oope, however, this loss wi;l he t,ut of -.r.-ry siicrt
duration, and that the humble and :a:sr:cello!, yet
firm petitions and remona7raaa of eof
this mighty empire, cannot fail to c ovinee our

Councils who, it has heal unequivocal). proved,
have so strong a hold of the affections and confidence
of his subjects.
In the hurryjof going to pres.; with a thin d edition,
late on Saturday evening, some trifling inaccuracies
occurred in our report of what fell from too LORD
CHANCELLOR on leaving Court, but the errors wart
corrected in our edition of yesterday. .
Most sincerely do we join his Lordsbi? in hit
wi,ll to see the equitable jurisdiciinn of t' at Cour
severed from the political functions of the LOUD
CHANCELLOR.

While we regret the eircumstanets of his tem-
porary retirement, we think the country re 144•1ge mint
