NEW ADMINISThATION.

The Clubs at the West end of the town, as
.nay be supposed, have exhibited unusual bustle
and ar,-,ciety during these last few days. Brookes's
an 'White's have been more crowded than they,
have been for many years hitherto, on any event
of public interest ; Members who have not fre-
quented the Clubs for nearly thirteen years, have
',leen seen in attendance, and more than one
Bishop (Canterbury and York) has busily en-
tered into the eonversaziones and discussions of
the political coteries. A good deal of uncer-
tainty still rests upon the persons on whom the
vacant situations in the Cabinet will devolve.—
The prospect of a coalition between Mr. Can-
ning and the Marquis of Lansdown is positively
at an end. The friends of the Marquis of Lans-
down were very industrious in contradicting the
rumour, that the proposition was even entertain-
ed by him—they stated that he immediately de-
clined the offer, as it came unaccompanied with
a proposal to include those who are supposed to
h.l connected with the Noble Marquis in public
life.

The Duke of Wellington, it is said, considers
himself (or is induced by his host of friends,
some of them not the wisest, to consider him-
self) a very aggrieved person in the late negocia-
tions, if indeed the term negoti:ition can with
propriety be applied to the brief and laconic
communications which are said to have taken
place between his Grace and Mr. Canning. This
correspondence it is said to be the intention of
his Grace soon to publish, as a vindication of
the propriety of his resignation. It consists of
two letters f'rom Mr. Canning, and one from the
Duke of Wellington. The first letter of Mr.
Canning intimates that he has been appointed to
form an Administration, and requests to know
;f the Duke of Wellington will be a Member of
it. The letter, with the exception of the signa-
ture, is said not to be in Mr. Canning's hand-writ-
ing; but that surely is too trifling a point to at-
tract notice on so grave a business. To this
letter the Duke of Wellington returned an an
-
vier requiring an explanation of the terms,
principles, Sec. upon which the Administration
to be formed. The only explanation which
it was deemed expedient to make to his Grace,
we are informed, is, that Mr. Canning was to be
the Chief of the Administration. The Duke of
'Wellington's resignation was immediately conse- •
quent upon this communication. His Majesty,
on receiving the resignation of the Duke of'Wel-
lington, is said to have written a short reply to •
thz following effect :—" His Majesty receives
with the same regret that the Duke of Welling-
ton conveys it, his resignation of Commander in
Chief." The resignation of the Ex-Ministers at
the same time is believed to be more a matter of
concert than accident ; as, with the exception of
Mr. Peel, they are said to hare been frequent
visitants at Apsley House. _ _

`With respect to new appointments, the fol-
lowing is what we have collected from the best-
informed sources. The Duke of Cambridge has
been written to on the subject of the appoint-
ment of Commander in Chief, and nothing will
be determined upon until the arrival of adyices
from him, unless, perhaps, the Marquis of An•
glesea may be placed in the temporary command
of the army.
Lord William Bantinck to be Master of the
Ordnance.
Earl of Carlisle to be Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland, with Lord F. L. Gower as his Secretary.
The .Attorney-General to be Master of the
Rolls.

The followi promotions to Dukedoms are
shortly expected to take place :—The Earl of
Darlington to be Duke of Cleveland. The
Marquis of Stafford, the Marquis of Hertford,
and the Marquis of Conynghara to be Dukes;
the titles not yet announced.
Earl Powis is to obtain a Blue Ribbon.
Mr. Canning shares the fullest and most un-
bounded confidence of the King, to whom the
late secession of the Ministers, so far from dis-
piriting, has imparted new energy and activity.
H. e enjoys excellent health and spirits, and is
fully equal to the difficult and manly part which
he is called upon to act at the present trying crisis.

COUNTY TIPPERARY CATHOLIC

PETITION.

(From the Tipperary Free Prate of Saturday.)
The following admirable Petition is from the
pen of Mr. Sheil, and we are certain it will na-
turally attract from the Country and Parliament
that attention to which it is most justly entitled,
not only on account of its truth and reasoning,
but also from the talented manner in which both
are displayed. If the enemies of the Catholics
were not steeled against all argument by the ty-
rannical power and unjust monopoly which they
are anxious to retain, this Petition should bring
conviction home to them :

TO THE HONOURABLE THE KNIGHTS, BURGESSES,
AND CITIZENS IN PARLIAMENT.
