Boat& progress has yet been made in settling
ex new arrangements of office, nor inded, as matters
stand, is there any necessity for urgent haste. In

fact no new appointments have yet taken place, nor
have any of the vacant Ribbands been yet offered to
aoy Nobleman, notwithstanding the positive asser-
tions made in some of the Papers upon this subject. ,
The Marquis WELLESLEY attended at C.u•lton-
Hoase yesterday, and resigned into the hands of the
PRINCE REGENT the sews of office of the Foreign
fecretaryship. We must in candour think that Lord
WrcustEv's secession is a misfortune : for if one
cause for the REGENT'S preference of the party which
betas joined was its opinion of the affairs of the
Peninsula, certainly Lend WEu.tat.ty was the most
ardent and able patron of the Spanish cause. But if
Ni. RYDER also retires, there will be another Secre-
taryship vacant. Which of the politicians is to suc-
ceed to this?

We have already stated that the Danes meditated
another attack upon Anholt ; and although we have
little fears of the issue of the enterprize, from what
has been already effected 1?y the brave garrison, we
are glad to find that Government are alive to the
danger. The Pyitaszus) of 36 guns, DAPHNE, of 22,
RALEIGIfs 18, PLOVER, 18, FLY, 18, and SIIELDRAKE,
of 16, have all been ordered off fur Anholt from
Sheerness, at a moment's warning.

the tonsolidatiol of our *hole 'floral and physical
energies for the defence of our common country,
against the fraud, violence and insatiable ambition of
our totnmon foe,

A report has found its way into some of the Morning
Papers, of a Peace having been concluded between
Sweden and this Country ; and it has been added,
that an Ambassador had actually arrived in London
from BERNADOTTIL We have only to add, that the
whole story is devoid of foundation. No communi-
cation whatever has reached this country from Swe-
den, which has not already appeared in our extracts
from the Papers by the Anbolt Mail of Tuesday.

A Mail arrived this morning, bringing letters and
papers from Sicily, Malta, and Gibraltar. From
Messina, we learn that all was quiet in Sicily : tin
prompt and vigorous treasures adopted after Lord
WM. BENTMWS return, had insured the future tran-
quillity of the island, and freed it from the intrigues
of the French. The execution of the spies had given
satisfaction throughout the whole of Sicily.
Our gun-boats in the Faro had lately a very severe
action with the French batteries; it appears, however,
that our loss is comparatively small. The restrictions
laid on the fishing are taken off, and every thing in-
dicates the greatest harmony and confidence between
the British and the Sicilian natives. The French
General in Calabria was so enraged at the mauling
received by his batteries, that he refused a flag cf
truce the day before the packet sailed from Messina.
Our army in Sicily is in good health and spirits, all
anxious for a disembarkation on the opposite coast,
as from the activity of our flotilla they have but little
hopes of ever seeing a Frenchman cross the Faro of
Messina.—The exchange has fallen, in consequence
of the specie expected daily from England.

Yesterday, about two o'clock, Earl AvLsronn had
an audience of the PRINCE REGENT, at Carlton-
House, and resigned. Afterwards the Noble Earl
went to Downing-street, and had an interview with
