ORDERS IN COUNCIL.

Mr. WHITBREAD brought up a Petition from
a number of Merchants and Manufacturers, praying
that no further delay should take place in proceeding
to the subject of the Orders in Council, which had
undergone an examination at the bar of the House.
They lammted that the consideration was postponed
from Thursday to Thursday week, and hoped that
it would not be extended any further, particularly as
by information from all parts of the country, the
Manufacturers appeared to be in a state of distress,
amounting almost to ruin and starvation, and also
as advices from America, both public and private,
were of a most alarming nature. This petition he
thought would justify his Honourable Friend's (Mr.
Bri.ugham's) impatience to bring forward the ques-
tion on an earlier day. If the Right Honourable
Gentleman (Mr. Canning) would wave his motion
which stood for Thursday se'nnight, he hoped that
neither the Noble Lord (Lord Castlereagh) nor the
President of the Board of Trade would interpose
asy delay.
Lord CASTLEREAGH still thought that the
postponement was grounded in reason and propriety.
He allowed the importance of the question, and should
be perfectly prepared to go into the discussion on the
day appointed.
Mr. BROUGHAM said that no delay should on-'
ginge on his part, and be the country in what state'
it mlgbt, and be the news from America of whatever
description, he was ptepared and resolved to go on,
as the subject was one of great internal importance.
The whole evidence would, iu a few days, be in the
ha,nds of the Members.

The Petition was ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. V ANSITTART, the new Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, would have taken his place this day, for
East Grinstead, were it not that the Speaker was in
the House of Lords until the hour beyond which Le
could not be sworn.
Ajounied till morrow (this day.)

The Ministerial arrangements may now be regall
as settled. The Earl of LIVERPOOL hIS ellterta up,
his functions as First Lord of the Treasury, and
VANSITTART has commenced the official business
Chancellor of the Exchequer. Yesterday the ex
tlemen of the Stock Exchange received an intit
tion from Mr. VANSITTART that the Earl of jah

POOL would be ready to announce the terms di
ensuing Loan on Friday next. Of the minnr
nisterial arrangemitazs we know nothing, 461
must presume that the Mae Lord consilirs

firmly seated as Premier ; for yesterday he held
meeting at Fife House of the Members of ka
Houses of Parliament,who are considered as frien,t
to the party of which his Lordship is now the Lei

—The Noble Lord read to them the Minwec of to
Correspondence that bad t-iken glace betateen
Lords Moittn and \ELLESI.EY, on the propoiitioni
forming a Ministry on the basis cf taking the rut
Catholic Question into immealiate consideration, abi
to which proposal he and his colleagues had distinct:l
refused to accede. We arc given to under:*
hcwever, that the Noble Earl, distinctly 1414
the friends of the Government v.Taild Le at tt,l
liberty to exercise their judgmeirs cri the quest*
when it should again unie before Parliament.
It is still doubtful, who are to compose the miff
the Cabinet. It is to be presumed, however, dat
Lord LIVERPOOL'S former coadjutors will rennitia
office, with one or two exceptions. Mr. Cassue
not attend the Meeting at Fife licthe yesterday,Fr
he had a long conference in the course of the
with his Royal Highness the PRINCE REM; t
Carlton House, from which it has been augured 14
he takes a share in the new Administration. Nod

however that can be relied on has transpired oa
subject.
Earl MOIRA had also an audience of the PE
REGENT yesterday, at which his Lordship recei
the vacant blue Ribbon.

Yesterday the guard of the Liverpool mail**
a letter to a mercantile heute in Town, stating the.
rival °la vessel (the Queen) with intelligence*
the United States had declared war against thisci
try. The VI iter of this letter has mistaken the i
poi t of the accounts received. We have this math

seen various letters from Washington, someof
dated the Bth ult. Several of them ewes I
apprehensions of immediate war, and mention, sl
strong indication, the order for the march d
tenth of the levy of 135,000 men (i. e. 13,500),
it is believed, will proceed to the frontiers of CAI

—and, as some say, to commence hostilities, e
before the expiration of the Embargo.
We ought, however, to state that some of the
ters—one of them from a Member of the Goi

ment, who is in frequent— we may say, in daily]
of intercourse with the Resident—assent, witty
confidence, that there will heap war.

In fAct, the two rarties speak acccrding to
views and feelings. That many of the Awn

would, without compunction, hurry their court t
a war, we cannot doubt : but something•is rig

besides inclination. The Americans cannot
pater answer all the purposes of go/I.

In the absence of Sir ROWLAND Hugs di
Dispatch, we are enabled to give the following
titulars :

" LISBON, MAT 16.
e" The surprise of the enemy's bridge aud
der
at Almaraz has, like all the mpirements of tbegi
lant General HILL, been the most completeand
liant. The loss is about 120 officers and men ka
and wounded on our part—a. loss, but for the
sical and moral worth of a British soldier, cowl°

Lively [rifling in the scale of warlike opera"
with the importance of the place, as the point dd
enemy's comrr.unication between the North and Sal
and the value and quantity of stores found Id
magazine, which exceeds that obtained by doe°
ture of any other single fortress during theca's"
in the Peninsula. In every view which we co
of it, the surprize of Almares is worthy of IS
de
.guerre Genera! !"
