The country, we sre sorry to say, is still without
fixed Administration.. The conversation between
Lend CASTLEREAGH and Messrs. BROVOHAM and
WHITBREAD. in Ye House of Commons last night
on this subject, is decisive on the point.
It is believed that the PRINCE REGENT has ex.
pressed a strong wish that his late, or present Minis.
"Is, for we knnw not which to call them, should
relax trom their determination to resist the Catholic
claims. It so, it would apppar, that on this point
tliey are as unwilling to concede as those whom they
eked to associate with them ; for the Marquis of
WELLESLEY and Lord LIVERPOOL still seem to draw
dietetic ways.
We have more than once alluded to the corres-
pondence that is known to have taicen place between
the Marquis WELLESLEY and Lords GREY and GltEti-
vaLv.—We are now enabled to lay before our
Readers an abstract,—we believe a faithful one,—of
the correspondence which has taken place, from
thence an accurate view may be taken of the princi-
ples and opinions of the parties implicated.
The substance of the joint letter of Lords GREY
and GRENVILLE is as follows :

“ They are perfectly ready to sacrifice all personal
feelings, order to give effect to the vote of the
House of Commons, in the present alarming crisis
Aff

m They express their sincere acknowledgments to
Lord WELLESLEY, for his powerful exertions in sup.
port of the Catholic claims ; and state their perfect
escurrence in his first principle on this subject.
" With regard to the war in the Peninsula, they
declare, that no persons can more deeply feel than
they di, the importance of its successiul termination;
bat that in regard to its management, it is difficult,
without an acquaintance with the detailb, al d all the
circumstances 01 the war, which can only be acces.
sable to persons in office, to give a decided opinion.
"They are perfectly ready, however, to enter into
*dispassionate discussion of that important question;
but that it is fair to declare, that they entertain
&ulna whether„ in the present distressed state of the
country, it will be found practicable to encrease the
public burthiens;
gi Lords Hot.t.Awn Ind LANSDOWNE concurred
generally in that epillion ; and particularly in the
part which refers to the powerful exertions of Lord
WELLESLEY in support of the Catholic claims.

4 Mr. CANNING and Mr. W. POLE are of course
trader:Loki to concur throughout with the Noble
Marquis who flukes the propositibh ; in whose prin.
tiples and opinion the Lords MotkA and ERSKINE,
together with Mr. SHERIDAN, are Skid to coincide."
The following is the substance of Lord LINTER-
rooes answer and that of his colleagues, to Lord
libu.testry i

That it was unnecessary to discuss the ptineiples
of the basis proposed by Lord WELLESLEY for a new
Administration ; because he and his colleagues cle:
sirea to decline being members of any Administrate
tion formed by Lord WELLESLEY: . I
Lord MELVILLE assented to the principles main.
trilled by the Marquis WELLESLEY; and was willing
to serte tvisk, but not tinder his Lordship.
" The Budget, to be brought forward immedi_
atelYs was lei' ready prepared by Mt. PEEMAL. It
adds two millions to tie present taxes."
At a Lte hour on Monday night, after the PRINCE
I)4GENT's cOnterence with Mr. CANING, expresses
nere sent to Lord &MOUTII, at Richmond Park, to
LOU: CANDEN,-Wilo Was dining at the Trinity House,
and tn'all tare other Members of the late Cabinet
and the res Ult was yesterday made known to the
PRINCE by the Earl of Livesspoor. and Lord Et.notr.
The nature of the answer may be interred hobs the
`Ctufnistance that happened after wards, since earl
Matti was immediately sent for by his Royal nigh.
Ile% and had an audiente at five o'clock in the
afternoon..

The interview between the two friends, is said to
have been extremely affecting and another coder-
ence is to take place this evening—Perhaps for the
purl of receiving commands from the Pianos
to form an Administrition that shall conciliate all
descriptions of his Majesty's people:
From *a that has yet transpired, however, it may
be inferred -that all the conciliatory attempts that
bare yet been made to arrange the .arartatis ?MINI
bare failed of their effect,. The hope of an effective
C as.ition has rather dttrtased, as the Lords LIVIR-
