settled. But the main appointments, we be-
lieve, are as above ; and in this shape the new
Administration will meet Parliament on Tues-
day. These arrangements are accompanied by a
report that, though Lord Lansdown and the
leading Whigs decline taking office at present,
they will do so after the present Session of Par-
liament, should the Administration, as it is now
proposed to be constituted, last so long; and the two
personal friends of Mr. Canning who accept the
Seals of the Foreign and Home Departments, take
them, it is understood, ad interim merely, on condi-
tion of resigning them when called upon so to do.—
This, we conceive, if it be true, may rather be con-
sidered as patching up an Administration than form-
ing one ; and though individuals may consider it no
degradation to do so much on the score of personal
friendship, it is quite another question with the
country whether places in the Cabinet can be kept,
like those in the boxes, till the company come, and
in this respect the comparison holds out completely,
for, if report is to be credited, they are only to be
kept " till the end of the first act."—lbid.

The arrangements for which we yesterday pre-
pared our Readers, are so far finally settled, that
besides the appointments already known (for
which we refer our Readers to our extracts from
the Gazette'of last night), the Duke of Devon-
shire takes the high office of Lord Chamberlain;

Sir James Mackintosh, that of Judge Advocate;
and Lord Lansdown and several other Leaders
of the Whig party have agreed to come into the
Cabinet before the end of the Session,—the de-
lay being entirely owing to considerations of per-
sonal convenience. Mr. Brougham, as we have
already stated, takes no office, but not from the
least doubt of the wisdom and propriety of the
arrangements, in bringing about which, he has
taken a chief part. His friends, it is under-
stood, have consented to take office without him
upon the sole ground, that he has himself pe-
remptorily desired the matter to be so arranged
with a view to the highest interests of the coun-
try.—Morning Chronicle.
The town was in a state of great excitement
yesterday, in consequence of the intelligence
which we communicated, and every where no-
thing was heard but the language of congratula-
tion on the consummation of the union to which
the public have been looking forward with so
much anxiety. We shall now possess an Ad-
ministration strong in talent and character, and
strong in the confidence which the country will
repose in the honesty of its intentions. The
course of the Administration will be one of pe-
culiar difficulty, for the distressed state of the
country is such as to inspire the stoutest hearts
with uneasiness. It is no easy matter to reason
with distress. Still we are satified that Mini-
sters have only to evince an honest purpose to
look the difficulties of the country fairly in the
face, and to adopt the means which, in the opinion
of the most intelligent judges, are best adopted to
the present exigencies, to have every proper allow-
ance made for their situation. The partisans of the
system of intolerance, who feel a determined hosti-
lity to all improvement, will now sink into insigni-
ficance. From them the Ministers have little to
dread. Would that all their other difficulties could
as easily be surmounted as the effects of the hosti-
lity of the old Tories. The diffusion of intelligence,
by creating every where intelligent judges of the
conduct of public men, will necessarily improve the
conduct of the latter, both by impressing them with
the conviction, that the arts of deception cannot be
successfully practised, and that they will be sup-
ported by men capable of appreciating fairness and
ability of conduct.—lbid.
THE MINISTRY—TERMINATION OF THE
NEGOCIATION BETWEEN MR. CANNING AND
THE MARQUIS OF LANsDOWN.—Further
conferences of long duration took place yesterday,
between Mr. Canning, the Marquis of Lans-
down, and the Duke of Devonshire, the result
of which was the positive termination of the
Negociation for the present. The Marquis of
Lansdown, with the expression of best wishes
and most cordial good will towards the new
Administration, declines the acceptance of any
official situation at present ; and we have reason
to believe that the friendly spirit of the Noble
Marquis pervades the whole of the higher orders
of his political friends ; so that little or no
factious opposition to the Ministers of his Ma-
i jesty's choice is reasonably to be apprehended in
Parliament, In consequence of the Marquis of
Lansdown having declined to accept the Home
Secretaryship, that office is to be filled by the
Right Honourable William Sturges Bourne,
than whom no man is possessed of more sound
understanding, safe correct principles, and all the
requisite capabilities for the office to which he
has thus been appointed. The Duke of Devon-
shire takes the Office of Lord Chamberlain ; but
not, as has been reported, with a seat in the
Cabinet. Mr. Tierney is to succeed Mr. Wal-
lace, as Master of the Mint ; Mr. Abercromby
succeeds Sir J. Beckett, as Judge Advocate :
and Sir J. Leach is to have the Mastership of
the Rolls.

The Gazette of last night contains the new
Treasury Board, with of course the Right Hon.
George Canning at its head, and also announces
the appointment of,the same Right Hon. Gentle-
man to the Offices of Under Treasurer and Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer. These annunciations
have come most timely to serve as answers to
the bold reports of the two last days in regard to
a pretended new disposal of the Offices of Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer and Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs. Mr. Canning must indeed
feel infinitely indebted to those gentlemen who
so gratuitously read him an occasional lecture on
his officical capabilities. To their concern for
his fame he owes the important knowledge that
he is better qualified to discharge with honour to
himself and service to the country, the duties of
his late Office than those more comprehensive
functions to which he has been just called by the
indiscreet partiality of his Sovereign and' the rash
wishes of the Public. As it would be Inexpres-
sibly painful to us to suppose that such gratuitous
advice, and so much valuable information, should
be as it were " wasted in the desert air," we
would earnestly suggest to the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman the propriety of duly and promptly consi-
dering the subject. In the mean time, we can-
