Various changes in the Adminiflration are talked
of.—One report Bates, that Lord HOWICK is to go
out to Indi• as Governor General, and to be fuc-
ceeded at the Admiralty by Lord Sr. VINCENT.—
Another Bates that Lord Howrcc is to be Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer ; Lord HINILT PIT T'S to fucceed
Earl T/M►LS in the Army Pay Office; and Eatl
Tsai PLR to go to the India Board.—A third rumour
Bates, that Lord FIZIORY PETTY goes to India, as
Governor General. We notice there reports merely
as topics of rumour, without attaching much credit
to them, but we think it not improbable that fome
partial change in Achnioillration may b: in contem-
plation.

The rnmonr has been revived, that the Duke of
Bausswicit is on his way to this country. We have
iaot been able to trace the report to any authentic
fonrce.
