terminated without effect; and Lord MOIRA con-
t nues his endeavours to torn/ a new Cabinet, in
which it is proposed to include Lords GREY, HOL-
LAND, GRENVILLE, LANSDOWNE, WELLEsLEY, and
mr. CANNING ; but, we repeat, nothing has been
d fin:tive y arranged. Lord MOIRA had a long con.
ference yesterday with the Marquis of LANsDowNE,
after which he waited on the PRINCE REGENT, and
had a li.ng interview with his Royal Highness. The
Luso CHANCELLOR and Lord MELVILLE also had au-
dience of the PRINCE after the Levee. Lord Mgt-
VILLE's attempt to induce Mr. CANNING to co-ope-
rate with the acting Ministers has certainly failed ;
and, according to present appearances, that Right
Honourable Gentleman and the Marquis WELLESLEY
are likely to fall in with the " Talents," in the new Ad•
ministration.

Happy shall we be to find that these appearances
are delusive ; for it would be truly lamentable to find
the PRINCE REGENT placed in such a situation as to be
under the necessity of calling to his Councils men of
whose.conduct it is impossible his Royal Highness
can approve, and who most certainly do not possess
the confidence of the country. Something surely,

might yet be done to avert so truly deplorable a result.
We would ask the present Ministers, with the Marquis

WELLESLEY and Mr. CANNING, whether it is fit that
from punctilious principles, or motives of private re-
sentment, the best interests of the Empire should be
disregarded and put to imminent hazard ? If any of
us have heretofore acted erroneously, is there any dis-
grace attached to the retraction of error ? But we will
not go so far as to say that either the present Ministers,
or Lord WELLESLEY, or his friends, have been in im-
mediate error. What we are desirous of urging is,
the honesty and the patriotism of the feeling which in
the hoer of danger would induce the most opposite

and inveterate to unite for the common safety; though
the present is certainly not a case directly in point.—
Here it is ant an union of foes that is required ; it is
an union of men who already approximate very
closely, and the object of the desired union is to save
the PRINCE from a relentless oligarchy, and the coun-
try from danger. My Lord MoinA, you who are the
Piusca's friend, his companion, his bosom friend, will
not your.high sense of honour and patriotism ape-
rate your junction in this worthy and noble cause ?
What was the conduct of the great and immortal Ge-
neral WOLFF, when he found himself insulted by
the caricatures and lampoons of one of his fellow
Generals ? Putting the most offensive of them into
his pocket—" We must," said the patriotic Hero,
" first beat the enemy, and to-morrow General
TowssHEND and I will adjust our affair." If the

present Ministers, Lord WELLESLEY, Lord MOIRA,
and Mr. CANNING, will only agree that their country
is too good to be thrown away, and sit down as ho-
ttest statesmen to do their part in its cause, they will
find the nation not ungrateful for their patriotism,
and history and posterity will do justice to the gene-
rous motives by which in that case they would be ac-
tuated and impelled."—Morning Post.

We have this morning received Papers from New.
York.of the 24th, and from Washington to the 21st
ult. They contain a full report of the debates in
Congress, while they were in deliberation with closed
dnors, on the subject of the Embargo. These speeches
have, of course, been futnished by some of the orators/
themselves ; and really they afford no character of
virulence whatever against this country—the expec-
tation of this, no doubt, induced the warlike Presi-
dent of the United States and his partizans, to ea-
ch* strangers from the debates. The Embargo
was not carried without a severe struggle, and several
motions were made with a view to embarrass the de-
mocratic leaders. On one division, it was likely to
have been a dead heat between the two parties, the
numbers being 56 to 53.
The Elections have every where terminated in fa-
vour of the Federalists.—lndeed, we have more than
once hinted, that from their respectability and talent,
the instant they were roused from their lethargy,
they would outvote the democratic party in every
corner of America.
The Owners and Captains of American merchant-
men have invented an ingenious method of evading
OR Embargo Act. They leave their ports in bal-
last, and pick up a full cargo from small craft, while
they are cruizing off the coast. Some vessels have
also arrived in American ports, from Amelia island,
pith interdicted British Goods on board. All the
vessels at that place are laden under the same cir-
catastances.—We foresaw that this would be the
Case, when the seizure of the Island was first an-
taunted. The Americans are determined to trade
with Great Britain at all hazards : and as to a War
between the two countries, we may repeat
once more—
