THURSDAY, APRIL 21.

This morning, at eleven o'clock, another Cabinet Council
was held at the official residence of Earl GREY, in Downing
street. The Cabinet was attended by the whole of the
Members, and continued in deliberation till two o'clock,
when the result was notified to the KING, at St. James's.

We are enabled to state to our Readers the purport of
what passed, yesterday, between his MAJESTY and his Mi.
maters, in consequence of what had occurred in the House
of Commons, the preceding evening. They advised a
dissolution of Parliament, and tendered their resignation
as the necessary alternative. His MAJESTY was gra-
ciously pleased to refuse accepting of their resignation ;
and likewise expressed his intention, to defer the disso-
lution, until the strength of parties, in the House of
Commons, should be tried on the more vital clause,
enacting the disfranchising of the Rotten Boroughs;
as his MAJESTY was pleased to observe, that Lord Join;
RUSSELL had stated to the House, some days ago, that
should the House be of opinion, that the number of Mem-
bers ought not to be diminished, his MAJESTY'S Minister@
would not consider that, such a breaking in upon the prin-
ciples of the Bi 1, as to make it incumbent upon them to
abandon it altogether. In accordance, therefore, with
His 111 AJEsvy's views, so judiciously expressed, it is un-
derstood that the Bill will proceed to another stage in the
Committee, and the dissolution be determined by its fate.

Until we are enabled to announce that the present Parlia-
ment has been dissolved, the public anxiety on the subject
%%bleb now ai.sorbs attention from every other, will not be en-
tirely tranquillised. That event we conceive certain, not
only from the intelligence we have received, but because we
place great confidence in his MAJESTY'S sound judgment,
and earnest solicitude to insure the prosperity of the nation.
The rejection of the Reform Bill we firmly believe to be the
toot hazardous revolutionary procedure which could possibly
take place ; and we cannot believe that his MAJESTY will
sutler himself so far to fall into the chimerical dreams of
the antiquated political dotards who lately governed France,
as to imagine, that the complicated and perplexing affairs of
this country could be conducted, even over the ensuing
winter, so as to insure to the governed the object of all
Governments—the peaceful security of person and
property, without the grand measure of salvation being
accomplished, which has now been so unequivocally
diroved, by the great mass of the British population.
'the peaceful security, of the people, the Aristocracy, and
the King, all bind them firmly to effect the accomplish-
t of this measure ;—and it is not possible that the iso-
iated, usurped, and noxious personal interests of a con-
temptible junta, will be able, in Anno Domini 1831, to
pervert to its own sordid objects, and thereby destroy for
rt er, the energies of one of the beat informed, and, hitherto,
ne of the bravest nations in the world.

We conceive, however, his MAJESTY has judged rightly,
el deferring the dissolution, as we have above stated, until
the flagrant culpability of the opposers of the Reform Bill
Shall be rendered more palpable, by their rejection of its
store vital parts. General GASCOYISE'S motion was cun-
uingly worded, to entrap votes without exposing to the
hazard of popular opprobrium, and it succeeded ; but the
discussion of to-night, may, probably, leave the hideous form
ut corruption more naked and unprotected : it will impress
stigma—tho F. U. R.—more indelibly and legibly, on
the foreheads of its supporters.

t was scarcely to be expected that a House of Com-
m() s could have been formed last night, after sitting till
I L in the morning,—yet such are the severe labours of
