sacrificed, either on the one hand or the other,
to the wrath of his former friends or his former
enemies. We do not know what truth there
may be in all or any of these reports ; but this
we know, that their existence, uncontradicted, is
injurious to the interests of the country, both at
home and abroad. Foreign powers more
especially, look with doubt, indecision, and want
of confidence, towards a country, the Govern-
ment and the policy of which may have been
changed since the date of the last despatch ; and
that such has been the state of this country,
since the calamity which befell Lord Liverpool,
any one who takes the most cursory review of its
subsequent Administrations will readily perceive.
For our own part, we should say that, looking
round the country, and surveying the present
race of public men, as far as their talents have
been developed, we see nothing which the country
would be likely to gain at the present moment
by the change ; and that, unless the proposed
advantages are very striking and apparent, they
could not counterbalance the inconveniences that,
in the very nature of things, must arise from the
vacillation, either real or apparent, which must,
of necessity, accompany a change either of men
or measures. lhe Duke of Wellington, from
his character and his talents, and by the ready
straightforward manner in which he approaches
most subjects, seems the man best qualified to
direct the affairs of the country ; and, though
his Administration might doubtless be strength-
ened in some of its minor points, we do not see
how it could be wholly remodelled to more ad-
vantage out of any of the known parties which
at present exist. With regard to Mr. Peel,
whatever may be the feelings as to his apparent
versatility of conduct on the Catholic Question
in some quarters, there can be no doubt, we
imagine, that, as far as the Duke of Wellington
is concerned, his Grace would be eternally dis
graced were he to abandon Mr. Peel on that
score.—Morning Herald.

OF THIS EVENING.

At the Court at St. James's, the 16th day of July, 1829,

PRESENT,
The. King's Most Excellent Majesty in Council.
Whereas by an Act, passed in the sixth year of his
present Majesty's reign, intituled " An Act to regulate the
trade of the British possessions abroad," it is, amongst other
things, enacted, that certain ports, therein particularly
mentioned, in the Island of Jamaica, and in the pro-
vinces of Nova Scotia, Canada, and New Brunswick, and
in the island of Ihrhadoes, shall be free warehousing ports
for the purposes of the said Act; and it is further enacted,
that it shall be lawful for his Majesty in Council, from
time to time, to appoint any port in his Majesty's posses-
sions in America to be a free warehousing port for the
purposes of the said Act ; and that every such port, so
appointed by his Majesty, shall be a free warehousing port
under the said Act, as if appointed by the same, in as full
and ample a manner in all respects as any of the ports
thereinbefore mentioned are free warehousing ports ap-
pointed by the said Act.
And whereas his Majesty doth deem it expedient, that
the port of St. John's, in the island of Newfoundland,
should be appointed a free warehousing port for the pur-
poses of the said Act, his Majesty doth therefore, by and
with the advice of his Privy Council, and in pursuance and
exercise of the powers in him vested in and by the said Act
of Parliament, order and appoint, that the said port of St.
John's, in the island of Newfoundland, shall be a free ware-
housing:port for the purposes of the said Act :
And the Right Hon. the Lords Commissioners of his
Majesty's Treasury, and the Right Hon. Sir G. Murray,
one of his Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, are to
give the necessary directions herein as to them may re-
spectively appertain. C. C. GREVILLE.
