There is much conversation on 'Change with respect to the New
Loan. The Subscription at the South Sea House, in the opinion
of many, will not be sufficient to enable the Company to undertake
the Contract. The advantages are considered to be very great
to the Contractors, and the want of capital will be the only rea-
son of its not being undertaken by that Company. The Bank,
it is rumoured, will undertake it for a limited period, in case of
failure elsewhere.

Of all the parties which in modern times have
struggled for the ascendancy in the politics of Great
Britain, there is not one, perhaps, so decidedly ob-
noxious as what is termed the Grenville party.
Not sufficiently powerful in themselves either in cha-
racter, talents, or connections, they have been a sort
of makeweight, always thrown into the scale when an
undue preponderance was sought to be given; and
there is not an instance in which they have refused
an opportunity of obtaining power, whatever might
have been the politics of the Ministers with whom
they were called upon to coalesce. We have seen
them successively both in the Ministry and the Op-
position, and, though often giving numbers, yet
they never gave respectability to either. There
was a taint upon the party which deprived them
of the influence of character when in power.; and
when in opposition, they were always suspected
of seeking to make the best terms for themselves,
equally regardless of the interests of the country or
the party to whom, for the time being, they had
attached themselves. Thus for particular objects,
though their assistance has been often courted, yet
they have always been sincerely despised. This party,
which has long been tried out of doors and con-
demned, will this night have to pass the ordeal of the
House of Commons.

immediate question at issue is the appointment
trsling of the Grenville party, Mr.. HENRY
N WILLIAMS WYNN, as Ambassador to the
;antons, with a salary of £3,900 per annum,
Secretary at £5OO per annum, and £1,500
an outfit. We will not anticipate the deci-

the House of Commons ; but now, when the
economy is resounded from the Lands' End
Oilneys, and when Ministers have been com-

of the Admiralty, we will ask on what prin.
right, necessity, policy, or consistency, can
attempt to vote away £6,000 in an Embassy to
wiss Cantons? Did we not see the pertinacity

GRENVILLES in this job, we should not even,
our former experience of their conduct, suspect
capable of imposing this odious and cruel op-

accession of the Grenville party to the Mini-
was said to he in order to enable them to oppose the

country Gentlemen, who, is esilets themselves with
the Opposition on some imporsiut questioniieveited an
alarm in the place-lovibtAdmlnlsitiltiOn. If this really
was the case, it sheaved how much tile Ministers calcu-
lated on the flexibility of the party they bad engaged
in this new species of contest. Indeed, of that no one
ever entertained a doubt ; but we have some hopes
that, notwithstanding this new accession of strength,
Ministers will not still possess the power of carrying
through the House of Commons so odious a measure
as the Embassy to the Swiss Cantons--a job, which
every honest man out of Parliament condemns, and
which no prudent Minister would attempt to force
upon a liberal, patient, bbt heavily oppressed People.

The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday have
reached us. The French are busily engaged in the
elections, in which the struggles of party are strongly
manifested. The foreign intelligent,* is unfavourable
to the continuance of peace in the East. The Porte,
it is said, refused to give any other answer to the
Russian ultimatum than her note of the 2ilth of
February. The following are extracts :
