wholly disregarded. It is quite certain that the-
principal force of whatever opposition may be at-
tempted to the measure of the new Administration,
will be expended in the House of Commons;
while it happens, accidentally, that the greatest
strength of the • Ministry, so far as relates to
talents in debate, will be collected in the House
of Lords. In these circumstances it seems
desirable that the Premier should be a Member of
the House of Cqmmons—that in this arena of the
fiercest and most frequent conflict, the leading Re-
presentative of his Majesty's Government should
be fortified and sustained by whatever accession to
his own personal weight and authority the highest
official rank and dignity can confer—that in fine,
the moral and political force of the Administration
should be made to bear upon the two branches of
the Legislature with the greatest attainable degree
of equality. We throw out these suggestions with
considerable diffidence, and with the full conscious-
ness that there may be circumstances in existence
with which we are unacquainted of sufficient force
to overrule them. This, however, does not abate
our confidence that an Administration is on the
point of being formed, which will fully satisfy the
wishes of the community, and afford security to
every great and important interest of the State—
an Administration from which the friends of the
Church and Constitution of England will have
every thing to hope and nothing to fear.—Morn-
ing Post.

The season of rumours is net yet passed, and they
continue to assume every shape and colour, accord-
ing to the political wishes, fears, or interests, of their
authors. The fundliOlders, who imagine that if the
remains of the present Administration were swept
away, their successors would immediately send a
formal embassy to the Turk, to beg his pardon for
having destroyed his fleet, and to purchase peace by
the surrender of an equal number of British ves-
sels of war, propagate with zealous industry
every report which they think can tend to realize
their • hopes. The agriculturists, who also see in the
dissolution of the present Ministry the abandonment
of the Corn Bill, and the eternization•of the existing
Corn Laws, are equally anxiouc to promote a change.
The shipping interest follow the same course,in the
expectation that every antiquated restriction upon
foreign vessels would be renewed, if not rendered
more severe, as soon as an exclusively Tory Ad-
ministration should be established. Now, it is fit
that each °Call these parties should know that their
calculations are not more unreasonable than they are
unfounded. Were the most ultra of the Tories to
come into office to-morrow, not one step would be
taken to prostrate the honour and glories of the
country at the foot of the Crescent, or to consign
the Greeks to destruction in the face of an indig-
nant world and an offended God. A Corn Bill

would be brought in, and the freedom of our ports
would be maintained. Both indeed might be mo-
dified, but it would milt be to prevent excessive dis-
appointment. For, once enthroned in the seats cf

their predecessors, with their power they would in-
herit all the necessities which compelled them to
act as they have done, and under the influence of
those necessities their conduct would gradually assi-
milate. It was, in fact, when they were in office, that
the late Corn Bill was framed—that the ports were
thrown open—and that the bases of the treaty of th e 6th
of .Tuly were discussed, approved of, and laid. It is,
therefore, idle to imagime that the appointment of an
exclusively Tory Administration would operate a
visible change in the political system of this country.
That system is, in fact, that of Lord Castlereagh,
who first separated England from the Holy Alliance,
gave her views and an nation of her own, and se-
lected as his colleagues the very individuals by whom
those views and that action have since been carried
to the fulness of their natural extent. Did not Mr.
Peel himself, when in office, push reform as far as
he was able, in the particular department to which
his attention was given Did he not, even since he
quitted office, continue his labours in the same spirit
and on the Fame principle ? And is it to be sup-
posed that, if he should take part in the Govern-
ment, be would not pursue the course which he had
hitherto thought most wise, proper, and patriotic?
Let, therefore, the public be undeceived; there may
be a change of men, but there will be none in prin-
ciple, beyond a slight modification to meet the
wishes and expectations of partisans. The strength
of England lies in the consistency of her policy, and
no set of Ministers, whoever they may be, will ven-
ture to break down that pillar of her strength, to gra-
tify the passing interests of particular classes or in-
dividuals. Up to a late hour last Right, all that was
known with respect to the Administration, existed
only in the shape of rumours. The most credible
of them, however, were, that, as we have already
stated, the Marquis Wellesley would take lead of
affairs, and that Mr. Peel, who had been applied to
by the Lord Chancellor, had no longer any objec-
tion to serve with a Ministry in which no other al-
terations but those two would, for the present, be
made.—New Times.
