E EVENING STAR.

LONDON.

THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 18.

Earl GREY is still busied in forming the new Adrniniso
tration, of which be is to be the Premier. The result of
his Lordship's labours is not correctly known ; but ru-
mour, at the West-end of the town, states as a part of
them, that the Marquis of ANGLESEY goes again as Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland; that the Earl of CARLISLE is to be
Minister fur the Foreign department, and that Mr. DEN.
SIAN is to be Attorney-General.

This day day at one o'clock, the French, Russian, Prus-
sian, and Dutch Ministers, assembled at the Foreign Office
in Downing-street, where they had a conference with
the Earl of ABERDEEN, which lasted till three o'clock,
on the important affairs of Belgium ; after which,
it was determined, that the Commissioners on the part

of France and England, should set out for Belgium this

evening.

Despatches have this day been received, by the Earl of
ABERDEEN, at the Foreign office, from their Excellencies,
Lord STVART DE ROTHSAY, our Ambassador at Paris,
and from Sir CHARLES BAGOT, our Ambassador at the
Hague.

By the accounts fron7treT;Fierlands this morning, we
learn that Vanloo had surrendered to the Provisional Govern-
ment. This fortress is one of the strongest in Europe. It
was also generally expected, that Msestricht will almost im-
mediately capitulate ; and that the Citadel of Antwerp will
be given up in 15 days. The letters from Antwerp, which
hear date the 16th inst. ewe that the receipt of the official
communication, respecting the blockade of the River, which
—curious enough—first reached there from London on the
15th, had caused a great sensation.

By advices received this morning, from Vienna, we find
that the Austrian Government have appointed the following
Consuls for Greece :—M. G ROPI us, for the East of Greece;
M 1r ERSBACII for the West; and V•LLEN BOURG for the
Isles. On the sth instant, at Vienna, Metaliques 911;
Bank Shares, 1023.

We have Hamburgh papers this morning, of Saturday
last ; but, except the usual quotations of agricultural pro-
duce, they contain nothing striking: they are totally desti-
tute of political interest. It may be observed, that the
funds had risen from one, to one and a half per cent ; which
was ascribed to the general scarcity of stock, for the ex-
pected liquidation of the 15th instant.

We are still unable to communicate any certain informa-
tion regarding the important subject, of what individuals are
to take upon themselves the direction of public affairs. Per-
haps before this Paper goes to press, we may know more,
and shall lose no time in giving our information a place
above this paragraph, as we always arrange ow intelligence,
according to its novelty and importance.
We endeavoured,yesterday,to explain our general views,and
espectations,on the subject of Parliamentary Reform ; and we
are Sure, if our readers recollect the tone we have maintained
on that agitating topic,ever sincentz STAR escaped from the
cloud which had for a little obscured it, they must do us
the justice to say, that we have been consistent. We have
always expressed our conviction, that a careful rectification
of some parts of our representative system, had become
rationally desirable ; and we have always been impressed—
seriously and sincerely impressed—with a full conviction,
that it was a subject to be approached with the utmost cau-
tion, and to be only accomplished with safety, by piecemeal
and gradual procedure. The people of this country should
never forge 4 that It is a question, on the temperate decision
of which, a 6. vital interact; of the present generationdepend
for their iiirarity. ft is not a question which can be
insulated from others, of involving impotence. In

touching the representation, we should bear in mind,
that we are touching the balancing point of our entire poli-
tical system ; arid while the people should be jealous of al-
lowing an undue impulse to turn the beam, adverse to their
rightful equilibrium, their interests are equally involved, in
not allowing an impulse, adverse to the other two estates :
and this should always be inculcated by all writers who in-
tend well to the present generation. When we nee the term
present generation, we think we include all the interests it
is rational, or useful, to desiderate. Wo do not wish to
deny any abstract set of truths, on the present prin-
ciples of Government ; or to deny that one course of
legislation may produce great future good ; but we main-
tain, while we should avoid acting, so as to produce in-
jury to our posterity, we should, as uur principal object,
limit our energies to avoid present evil, or the ruin of
ourselves. In making up our opinion on reform, let us
likewise make up our opinion on other questions. Do
we wish that faith should be kept with the public cre-
ditor ? Are we interested in averting the inevitable fate,
which Hurst'. has predicted, as the result of financial ruin,
viz. " that those in the carriage are to mount the box ?"
If you are careless and unconcerned on these questions—
but not the humblest man in the kingdom can be so wisely—
then you may be bold in your reform : for be assured, with
such reforms as are spoken of—universal suffrage, and its
accompaniments —the constitutional beam will receive an
impulse so decidedly from all equilibrium, that the entire
existing organisation of society must cease ; and the present
generation will reap but little benefit, by the time the good
arrive, which according to the power of a superintending
PROVIDENCE, is not to be denied, will ultimately bless a,
distant posterity. But while thus intimidated from a bold re-
form, we are advocates for a temperate one. Oa some future
occasion, we shall farther explain our views. We did not in-
tend to-day, to treat so largely on the subject, and have done
so inadvertently, to the exclusion of another, which we had
wished more immediately to consider; but we shall execute
our intentions to-morrow.

CITT, ONE O'CLOCK.

Wo are still in the dark in regard to the formation of the
new Ministry. It is positively stated that Earl Grey is ap-
pointed Premier, and Mr. Denman Attorney-General. All
our City politicians and speculators are anxiously waiting for
something official on the subject.
The private letters from the Hague state, that the Belgians
wished only for a limited armistice of three months, which
the five Powers would not agree to.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 821 for the Ac-
count, opened at 83k, went down to 83i, rose again to
831.

In the Foreign market little doing at present.
CITT, TWO O'CLOCZ

In the absence of official information, in regard to the
new Ministry, we have continued reports. Il is now be-
lieved that proposals have been made to Mr. PEEL, to take
the situation of First Lord of the Treasury.
A Hebrew has failed in the Manchester line, supposed to
be to a considerable amount. We hear of several failures at
Vienna.

Consols remain steady at 831 j, for the account ; for next
time, 831 84.

In the foreign market, little or nothing doing. Spanish,
