LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 18, 1835.

TLAT _OFFICE, Three o'Clock.
THE KING'S COURT—NEW MINISTRY.

His IVIAJESTY arrived in town this forenoon, and
shortly afterwards held a Court, at which the Mem-
bers of the late, and those who are to form the
New Administration, were summoned to attend.
Our informant states that Sir ROBERT PEEL and
his late Colleagues arrived at the Palace in succession,
and were followed by the carriages of those who may
be presumed to be the NEW MINISTERS ; for in cases
of a change of Administration those only are supposed
to attend who are chiefly connected with the old and
new Cabinets.

Among the new members were observed the fol.

lowin o a :

Viscount MELBOURNE.
Lord HOLLAND.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE.
The Right Hon. CHARLES GRANT.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL.
Viscount PALMERSTON.
Viscount DUNCANNON.
Right Hon. T. SPRING RICE.
Right Hon. Sir JOHN lIOBHOUSE.
The Earl of MULGRAVE.
Right Hon. P. THOMSON.
Lord AUCKLAND.
We have not, heard exactly what are to be the re-
spective departments which the new Ministers will fill;
but report assigns the Home Department to Lord
JOHN RUSSELL ; the Board of Control to Mr.
GRANT, with a Peerage ; the Foreign-Office to Vis-
count PALMERSTON, with a Peerage; the Exchequer
to Mr. RICE ; the Presidency of the Council to Lord
LANSDOWNE; the Board of Trade to Mr. THOM-
SON; the Admiralty to Lord AUCKLAND ; the Duchy
of Lancaster to Lord HOLLAND, and the remaining
departments to the others, with Lord MELBOURNE,
of course, as Premier.
We hear that the Duke of DEVONSHIRE goes to
Ireland, with Lord MORPETH as Secretary. This
will give great satisfaction to the Sister Isle.
The Great Seal is to be put in Commission, and it
is said that Sir JOHN CAMPBELL will be Chief
Commissioner.

The new writs will be moved for this afternoon.
An Extraordinary Gazette will be published this
evening, announcing some of the new appointments,
which will appear in a Second Edition of The Sun.
Mr. ELLICE, it is stated, does not wish to accept
office at present.

It must be as clear as the sun at noon-day to every
wan who has attentively considered late events, and
who has sense enough to " discern the signs of the
times," that it is utterly impossible for any Admini-
w:ration to govern this country on the narrow
principles of party. Individuals of a speculative
turn may amuse themselves and edify their gossips by
twaddling about this or that being a tenet of the
Whig or of the Tory school—about this, that, or the
other Statesman being a Whig of 1688 or 1793 ; but
what do the public care for such worn-out and idle dis-
tinctions ? Not a single straw. They have had. their
day, and it is fit that they should cease to be applied
to objects which they no longer correctly designate.
T0qi.5112, lucked, has always been the Same, .be-

cause it is in its nature unalterable. Its very
foundation is arbitrary power—the unlimited and illi-
mitable authority of the supreme ruler. Upon this
basis the whole harmonious superstructure is raised,
and always presents to the eye of the spectator the same
uniform appearance--the same stern, gloomy, and des-
potic aspect. How different is the character of Whig-
gism I Its fundamental principle is the utmost exten-
sion of popular rights consistent with the public safety.
This expansive principle, it is evident, adapts itself to
the progressive advances of society in intelligence and
civilization, keeping pace with the times, and accom-
modating itself to the spirit of the age. To take an
instance :—the Whigs passed the Reform Bill in
1832. None of those (Reformers !) who arc now
so bitterly reviling them for being supported by men
tof various shades of opinion different from their own, have
ever ventured to blame them for this measure ; on the
contrary, it has been the theme of praise unqualified—
except that it did not go far enough. BURKE is
selected by a Morning Contemporary, the most powerful
advocate of that Bill, as the Lean ideal of Whiggism
in his day ; but what would he have said to
such a measure ? Would not his hair have stood
on end at the very mention of so revolutionary
a scheme ? Would he not now shudder in his grave
could he know the sweeping destruction to• the Con-
stitution contained in Schedule A ?

What the people of Great Britain want is a thorough
reform of every abuse in every department of the
State, whether Civil or Ecclesiastical. Nothing less
than this will, nothing less ought, to satisfy them.
As to whether the men who, in administering the go-
vernment, carry the popular will into effect, are nick-
named Whigs, Radicals, or Liberals, it is to them a
matter of mere moonshine.

Lord MELBOURNE is well aware of the pub-
lic feeling on this subject, and we are happy to find
that he has not been indifferent to it, in constructing
the Administration, the Members of which, while we
are writing, are taking the oaths of office.

The Paris papers of Thursday have been received.
The debate on the first article of the project of law
for the liquidation of the American debt was protracted
till a late hour on Wednesday evening. The amend-
ments on the first article of the law were supported by
M. BERRYER, who, in a speech of three hours' dura-
tion, argued against the principle of the Bill, as well
as denied the correctness of the data which served to
fix the amount claimed by the United States. This
speech, which was, in all respects, the most able
of any delivered in the Chamber on this question,
made a powerful impression upon the minds of the
Deputies,
,who heard it throughout without mani-
festing the slightest uneasiness. M. BERRYER was
particularly severe in his strictures upon the whole
conduct of the Government, as far as regarded its re-
lations with the United States. He taxed Ministers
with being, from a culpable indolence, totally ignorant
of the leading facts connected with the claims now at
issue ; he challenged them to prove that France had
obtained any advantage in consequence of the treaty
of Louisiana, for the admission of French wines into
American ports at a reduced rate of import duty ; and
he declared, that whatever losses America had sus-
tained were the consequence of her own spirit of
cupidity, which had prompted her merchants to avail
themselves of the disastrous wars of other countries
to enrich themselves and their fellow citizens. After
the conclusion of BERRYER'S speech, M. MAUGUIN
requested the Minister for Foreign Affairs to submit
to the Chamber,•on the day following (Thursday), the
original returns of the American claims. The PRE-
SIDENT rose, and assured the Deputies that the re-
turns in the hands of Members were authentic copies
of the returns just moved for, and that the originals
were not in his possession. This explanation only
served to excite the curiosity of the Chamber. M.
ISAMBERT supported the motion of M. MAUGUIN,

I and contended that the original documents ought to be
produced. The Ministers began to show symptoms of
alarm at this anxiety on the part of the Deputies, and
very prudently agreed to produce the documents called
for at the commencement of the next sitting. M.
TRIERS then obtained leave to address the Chamber,
in answer to the speech of M. BERRYER, after which
an adjournment took place till Thursday. It was pre-
sumed on Thursday morning that the speech of M.
BERRYER would have the effect of greatly diminishing
the original majority of Ministers, if not of leaving
them in a minority on the first article of the Bill.
This we believe to be impossible. The rigmarole about
American cupidity and piracy, and the unblushing'
effrontery of the statement respecting the results
of the treaty of Louisiana to the wine-growers of
France could impose upon no person with two
ideas in his head. As to the alleged indolence
of Ministers,, and the venality of Ministerial sup-
porters, they are matters which do not affect the
principle of the Bill, particularly as it can be easily
proved that the Government of the United States has
not availed itself of any advantage deriv7.',7-.
French folly, Ministerial incapacity, or representative
venality. Fickle as is the adherence of political par-
tizans in France, we have no doubt but that the Bill
will still be carried by a large majority, even although
M. TIIIERS should fail in attempting to refute the ar-
guments of M. BERRYER. This, however, is not likely,
if we may be allowed to judge from the commencement
of his speech in the Chamber of Deputies, in the sit-
ting of Thursday, which we have just received. He
commenced by observing that mere assertions answered
the purpose of the opposition, whereas Ministers were
under the necessity of proving the correctness of what-
ever they advanced, by the production of unquestionable
documents and authorities. He denied the alleged
willingness of Ministers to comply with the demands
made by the Government of the United States, and
assured the Chamber that the Cabinet had only recog•
nized the liability of France, when the justice of the
claims made could be no longer questioned. The
claims preferred were not solitary instances, nor could
a compliance with them he so regarded at home or
abroad. He assured them that almost all the Powers had
granted indemnities to America. Denmark had granted
to her 3,400,000 f., and yet the Budget of that coun-
try amounted only to 33,000,000 f. Naples had paid
10,000,000 f. ; Spain, 25,000,000 f. in 1819, and
3,000,000 f. in 1834. Sweden had paid a similar
sum. England, even powerful England, who cer-
tainly did not fear, although she respected America,
had paid 35,000,000 f.

Our report of the Minister of the Interior's speech
in the Chamber on Tuesday does not extend beyond
this ; but we have every reason to believe that it had a
powerful effect.
The editor of the Charivari was condemned on
Wednesday, by the Cour d'Assises, to pay a fine of
2,000 francs, and suffer imprisonment for six months,
for the publication of a libel on the KING.

On Thursday, M. PA NIS, a Deputy of Paris, was
brought to trial for swindling, and found guilty. He
was sentenced to be imprisoned for twelve months, and
pay a fine of 50 francs to the KING. Swindling
Deputies and libelling Journalists are regarded in a
very different light by the Judicial authorities of
France.

The Moniteur of Thursday contradicts the state-
ments put forth in the Opposition journals respecting
the recent defeats of the French Colonists at Algiers.
The French journals contain intelligence from Ma-
