LONDON.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 17.

Public expectation is much excited, to ascertain who
are the men that are to form the new Administration. Be-
yond the choice of the KING, in delegating to Earl GREY
that important task, all is conjecture at present. One
thing, however, we believe is certain—that the Govern-
ment will be composed of temperate men, and not of ex-
perimentalists. The following noblemen are confidently
mentioned, as likely to be called into dice on this occasicn
Earl GREY,
Lord HOLLAND,
The Marquis of LA NSDOW N E,
Lord PA LM ERSTON,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL,

Lord A LTIIOUP,
Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and,
Perhaps, the Duke of Ric nst o ND.

At a late hour this afternoon, we have received accounts
from Brussels, by which it appears, that there are important
movements among the diplomatic corps; and that the King
of PRUSSIA has given orders to assemble all the troops
stationed on the frontiers of Belgium to form a cordon—
supposed to have for its object, the interruption of all com-
munication between the Belgians, and the Prussian State:.
On this subject, the Quotidienne of Monday, received this
day by express, gives the following letter from Brussels,
dated 12th instant :—" There is still here, great movements
in the diplomacy. French, English, and Dutch couriers, as
well as Belgians, are in movement, in all directions; besides
which, agents of the Provisional Government are sent on
messages to the different Cabinets. M. BAZTHELI has set
off for Paris, where he is to have a meeting with the new
Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Congress yesterday had
their second sitting, relating chiefly to the verification of their
powers, and formation of the bureau. We this morning
learn, that the Prince of Hass& Homazao, Governor
of the fortress of Luxemburg, was near being assassinated
near Aden, by the Belgian militia, when be was taking an
airing on horseback. Two of the militia have been arrested,
and conducted into the fortress."

The intelligence given in the paragraph above, is con-
firmed by the following communication, received from
Frankfort, by the express this day, dated the 10th inst.—
" An order of the Prussian Cabinet, dated the Ist Nov. has
been published ; according to which all the troops which are
assembled on the frontiers of the Pays Bas, from Brawn to
Cleves, and Kranenberg, are to be formed into a Cordon.—
The disturbances still continue in North Holland. At the vil-
lage of Mook, near the Prussian frontiers, Commissaries
from the Provisional Government have arrived, to take pos-
session of that village, which has caused much anxiety."

At the hour at which we now write, nothing, we believe,
is with certainty known, as to the formation of the new
Administration. Our readers will perceive from the extracts
which we have made from all the Morning Journals, what
are the views of our cotemporaries, as to the event that
has taken place, and its consequences. They will like-
wise perceive, that Lord GREY is generally believed
to have been charged with the important task of com-
bining, for the service of the State, those individuals
who may be deemed adequate to occupy the offices
about to be vacated. His Lordship's experience, talent,
high honour, and general dignity of character, have,
no doubt, induced his MAJESTY to select him, as the
person most qualified, among the circle of statesmen at
Court, to perform, advantageously, the pre-eminent duty
to-which he has been called ; and we are of opinion, that his
MAJZSTeII judgment. in this instance, will be considered,
by the majority of his subjects, to be mad ; and consonaat
