Before the meeting of the Cabinet on Thursday, the
Times, in accordance with the former reasoning of that
Journal. had broadly stated that an immediate disso-
lution of Parliament would be tantamount to a vicyry
over the friends of Catholic Emancipation ; and that
the individual Members of the Government who are in
favour of that measure, could not, and ought not, con-
sistently with their former opinion, consent to the dis-
solution ; but that their colleagues, however, who
thought differently on the important question alluded
to, were determined to try their strength.
This was all very natural i n att Opposition Paper, as
it tended to impress the public mind with as idea of
disunion in the Cabinet, " a house divided against itself,'.
&c. &c. although nothing more unfounded or impro-
bable ever entered the mind of man. That any such
diversity of sentiment could exist, on account of favour
or hostility to the Catholic Question, is demonstrable
from this single consideration, that the leading condi-
tion of the bond of union among his Majesty's present
Ministers is, that the Question of Catholic Emancipa•
Lion shall never, in any of its bearings, be a subj-ct of
Cabinet discussion at all. Judge, then, of onr astonish-
ment at finding, in a paper which has always affected
to convey the sense of the Government, the following
paragraph :
" The question as to the expediency of dissolving Parliament this'
year, did certainly again occupy the attention of his Majesty's Mi-
nisters, a portion of whom were strongly in favour of the measure;
but there were considerations closely connected with two great po.
litical measures, to the discussion of which the present Parlia-
ment stands in a manner pledged during the ensuing Session,
which made the other portion as strongly disinclined to the pro_
posed measure. And thus the matter stood, we believe, at the
commencement of the past week, when Mr. Canning, Lord Li-
verpool, the Duke of Wellington, and other Members of the
Cabinet arrived in town. Mr. Canning, we understand, was de_
cidedly of opinion that no dissolution ought to take place in the
present year. There was no necessity for the measure; and,
under existing circumstances, it was likely to produce an excite-
ment of party-feeling throughout the country which it was desirable
to avoid. Ultimately, though not, as we are informed, without
considerable discussion, the views of Mr. Causing and bis friends
prevailed, and it was resolved that the Parliament should or be
dissolved this year. We believe we may add, that this resolution
was taken before the meeting of the Cabinet on Thursday."

Now that this Paper, by its assumed Ministerial cha-
racter, should thus confirm the unfounded rumour of
there having been a contest for power in the Cabinet,
is certainly one of the most mischievous and surprising
occurrences that we can well imagine. Is it likely that
Ministers should not, before the last moment, have
had a general understanding on so important a mea-
sure as that of calling a new Parliament ? A Coun-
' cil was necessary, by the ordinary forms of the Go.
vernment, to submit its recorded opinion to the KING,
on this as on any other high question of State;
and it may be that minor and collateral subjects of con-
venience might have been canvassed, as to the time of
calling the new Parliament next year. But any one
who is tolerably well informed in the details of Govern-
ment, must deny that the postponement of a new Elec-
tion has at all turned on a desire to favour the Catho-
lic Question, or that it argues the preponderance of the.
councils of those Members of the Cabinet who are most
likely to advocate that cause.

Frankfort Paters to the 20th inst. reached us this
forenoon. They contain from Vienna and Pt esburg,
an account of the preparations making for the corona-
tion of the Empress of AUSTRIA, at the latter place, as
Queen of Hungary, which is to take place on the 25th
inst. The Hungatian crows and regalia, which ate

preseteed In the Castle of Pest; Ike temovea dfi the'
7th. and sent in seakd bow to Presburg, where they
were to arrive on tie 4th. The carriage in which they
were conveyed was accompanied by several officers of
the crown, and escorted from stage to stage by the
Nobility of the countries op horseback, from Pest
to Presburg.

This forenoon we received Lisbon Gazelles to the 18th
inst. They contain no news except what is copied from
foreign journals. A Portuguese brig, which arrived in
the port of Lisbon on the 14th, brought news of the
arrival of Sir CHARLES STUART at Rio de Janeiro, and
that he had been very well received.

Bahia Papers to the sth August have been received,
via Lisbon, but they contain no news.

nitrate letters from Rio de Janeiro by the Brazil
Mail state, that several conferen:es had taken place
between Sir CHARLES STUART and the Brazilian Mi-
nister for Foreign Affairs, and a favourable result to the
mission of Sir CHARLES was anticipated.

By the arrival of a Brazil Mail this morning, we have
received Rio de Janeiro Papers to the 27th of July.
They announce the arrival of Sir CHARLES STUART, in
the WELLRsLEY, on the 18th instant. These Papers con-
tain various accounts of the successes of the Brazilian
troops against those in the B..nda Oriental, and state
that order will soon be restored. The following are
extracts:
