No definitive step has yet been taken towards the
formation of a New Administration—The interreg-
alum, however, cannot continue much longer.—Mr.
MARTIN, of Galway, has given notice in the House
of another Address to the Panics REGENT, praying
b;m to form a New Administration without delay.
This motion will be discussed on Wednesday. In
the mean time, the exertions of Earl MOIRA are tn-
erasing ; but the progress made by his Lordship does
not seem to have met with his Royal Master's appro.
bation. Marquis WELLESLEY had an audience of the.
lima RIO3LNY on Saturday, which lasted for two
hours: and it has been since reported, that the
Nataains having urged, in strong but respectful lan-
page, the imperious necessity of something being
dine, the PRINCE'S answer was of a nature to induce
thsailletliS to Intimate his intention of giving up
an farther negociations.
Earl MOIRA, whose stedfast adherence to the best
Otto of his Sovereign and of the country at this
sat alarming crisis, can never be sufficiently ap-
Sanded, still continues his good offices. His Lord-
*" was closeted with his Royal Highness upwards
of two hours yesterday, and an appointment was
stile fur another conference to-day. We cannot
remise, however, that any thing decisive will be
dated. Something must be done without delay ;
the public service requires the passing of a vote for
Polley, and a message from the•Pioncis to Parlia-
sent is taiked of, stating the urgent necessity for
sick a measure. This will afford an opportunity of
ogler trial of skill in the House of Commons be-.
ono the contending parties. • The Bank is said to
have advanced a sum of money on Exchequer Bills,
eatable the public offices to go on so long.
3s re we proceed, with our usual aim to be per-
kily impartial, to copy what we regard as the sen-
tinels of the two leading parties in the State, as
immunicated through what may- be deemed to be
Sit demi-official organs, we must caution our
laden against giving credence to the lists of new
Administration which are nightly, to the disgrace of
bit inventors,, circulated, in - Second Editions,
Isighout the Metropolis and the country, in sere-•
eil ssetemparary Evening Papers. All these, we

The following passages, which are extracts from

lict now going on in the higher Departments of the

MORNING CHRONICLE.
• The'absence of all responsible Government still
tentinues ; and we venture to say, that it will con-
fine, until Parliament shall interfere with vigour and
Maims, to save us from the state of anarchy to
hush we are rapidly approximating.
mWecan assure our readers, that though three weeks
have now elapsed since the Government has been de-
funct, no authority has been given by the PRINCE Re-
sin to any person to form an Administration, or
even to plesent to his Royal Highness the basis of
one. Wecun even repeat in so many words what we
stated to our readers this day se'iinight, viz. that a
communication, indeed, took place between Earl
Gnu, Lord GRENVILI,E, and Lord WELLESLEY, upon
certain principles proposed by the latter, as the basis
for forming a new Administration ; and on these
Principles Lords GRENVILLE and GREY explained
themselves with a frankness and sincerity which we are
utisfied will always be observed in every part of their
conduct, and with a sincere disposition to give public
ten, if it should be in their power to do so, to the
la Vote of the House of Commons. What this may.
lead to remains to be seen ; but at present we be.;
ft, we shall be found correct in stating, that no ne.
Prjageo forming a new Administration has taken
ke with these Noble Lords. To which we may adds
!bade the frequent interview's which Earl MOIRA has

114 The late Ministry, too feeble even for contempt,
as a Ministry is out of the Question and the indivi-
duals composing it, having one and all subscribed

the creed of intolerance and exclusion—.intolerance,
in declaring that they will not even listen to the Ca-

tholics, exclusion, ih declaring that they will not act

with Lord Witu.ssuty on any conditions, or with
MT. CANNING, or with Lords GREY and GRENVILLE,

or with Lord Moue, or with any of the friends of
these Noblemen, unless they renounce the principles
of their whole lives—are of course excluding them-
selves, so long as they continue obstinately to perse-

vere in these wild and bigotted notions. On the other

hand we have reason to know that there are those

about the Court, who are daily and hourly poisoning
the PRINCE REGENT'S mind, with tales of slander
against some of the most upright public men that
ever graced the most virtuous times of a country,
and 6*th u..happily has been the success of their
arts, that not one word of truth, either as to the state
of the empire, or the sentiments of public men, ever
reaches that Royal -Person.

44 This faction, having worke up the resentments
l
of their Master to the highesoi tch, by carrying to

his ear expressions not one worcLuf which were ever

uttered by the persons to whom they are attributed
are now indulging themselves in the malignant satis_,

faction of having placed, as they loudly declare, an

eternal bar to the admission of Earl GREY to the pub-
lic service. We name Earl GREY, because it is against
this illustrious character that the artifices of this fac-

tion are now princ'ipally at work. It was first Lord
Guar; viLLE, whose reserved habits and manners mutt,
forsooth, be represented to the PRINCE REGENT as
aristocratic haughtiness, and what net ; nay', even as

proofs of a deliberate design to enslave his Royal
Highness. It is now Earl GREY, who, in addition
to all the crimes, (and we own that these are many
and deep) derived from the high public estimation

in which he is held, his enthusiastic honour, and the
commanding superiority of his eloquence and abili-

ties, is made responsible for every word which may
find utterance against the PRINCE REGENT, in these
times of mutual exasperation, and in a country which
boasts the freedom both of its preu and of itslanguage.

" At the bottom of those insidious conuivances
there are men, we are grieved to say, of great natural

abilities, men whose penetration can reach every

Secret recess of the human heart, and who, by expe-
rience, know the full value of this unerring rule—
that the deepest of all resentments are those produced
by the operation of the smaller passions. This faction
has seized the unguarded hour, the 6 asollia tempera
fan/4' to instil its venom into the royal mind even to
satiety#llll.,lhnow denounce its proceedings to the
world as t 4 main ague of thou eistaeler +which have so
long rendered insfeceual Me vote of the House of Cowmen:,
and the universal feeling and expectation of the pub-
lic. The remedy to this evil, we repeat it, lies in the
House of Commons. The temperate and respectable
body of men who supported Mr. WORTLEY lit his
late motion, must guard bgainst the tricks which are
now practising to defeat it, while we are confident
that they will be above lending themselves to the
low passions of a set of intriguers, vk hose minds at this
awful crisis are alive to.no impression except that of
personal hatred, and whom no care as to what may
become of their country, no one generous public sen-
timent, no spirit of honest pride to be themselves in-
strumental in the great work of our deliverance, can
awaken to their duty as men and as Englishmen."
MORNING HERALD.

“The difficulties of a Ministerial arrangement have
so multiplied from the time of our last statement, up
to a late hour last night, that but little or no probabi-
lity now remains of any Adminiarationbeing formed
without the farther interference of Parliament: Every
mode of conciliation which the most gracious conde-
scension could possibly suggest, or supreme authority
might be supposed to command, has been exercised
in vain. A languid continuance of the negotiation
was indeed sustained through yesterday, and the usual
audiences given at Carlton House, but without any
prospect whatever of a successful termination.
“ The Cabinet consists of seethe Members. In or-
der to form that Government of composite parties,
which the Address of the Comnionslhad evidently in
view, the Pelves REGENT directed that four seats
should be tendered to the Leaders of Ofiparition. To
this the Lords Gary and GRENVILLE refused to ac-
cede rand presuming in .the height of Opposition hau-
teur, that the Address could intend nothing short of
their exclusive nomination, required a decided majo-
rity in the Cabinet ; on which cession they signified
,that they might condescend to act with, but not under
Marquis WEI.LESLEY. On the other hand, the Earl
of Livetteoot, and his friends continue in a temper
not to be prevailed upon to coalesce with the Marquis
on any terms, but are disposed to serve with Earl
' MoIRA and a reasonable proportion of his political ad-
herents, and also to allow his Lordship to be placed
at the Head of the Treasury. Hence it is evident,
that the Marquis WELLESLEY'S pliel has so totally
failed in all its points, as to leave no possibility of an RI
Administration arising out of it ; and yet it is under-
stood, that his Lordship still retains this delegated,
but now useless authority, which, by a timely transfer
to other hands, might have -proved successful.
,a In such a dilenima is the PRINCE REGENT of
England placed through the pertinacity of two de.

seriptions or Statesmen, by their refusing to coalesce
with a fair proportion of his Majesty's confidential
Servants, from matters of mere personal aggrandize-,
ment, and a total disregard of the calamities and dan-
gers,which at this moment, press so severely upon the
Country! It would puzzle the most able and prn•
dent politician to advise what farther steps ought to
be taken, under such embarrassments, by the Execu-
tive Authority, in which is vested the appointment of
the King's. Ministers. No alternative seems lefts so
that the REGENT must be dragooned into a surrender
of his power to a vindictive Opposition, unless, in such
an unparalleled extremity, a Convention of the whole
PRIVY COUNCIL of the Realm might afford relief, and
an Administration be formed under their dignified
*unction, for the immediate management of the Pub• S
lic Affairs, regardless of all parties and distinctions
of Statesmen whatever. His MAJESTY'S Privy Coun-
cil consists of 155 Members, a number combining, it
is reasonable to suppose (with the concurrent aid of
the two houses of Parliament,) integrity and talents I
sufficient to turn out Volunteers fit, able, and willing
to defend the REGENCY at such a crisis, so that a
practicable breach shall not be made in it by its enfu-
riate besiegers, and to continue to serve the State
without pay or reward, until the mgrcntary troops re-
turn to some sense of the allegiance which they owe
to their Prince, and fidelity to their Country !"
The Morning Post, from which we have been in
the habit of making an extract on this impertant
subject, does not seem to be so well informed as its
contemporaries on the present occasion.

Yesterday being the last Sunday in the month, the
following Bulletin was shewn at Sr. James's Palace :

THE PARK, AND KENSINGTON GARDENS.—Yesteer-I
day the fineness of the day, and brilliant exhibition
of Fashionables, in Hyde-Park, attracted an immosse
concourse of pedestrians in the public walks. The
charioteers made their appearance about two
o'clock, in one regular and continued cavalcade, from I
the four principal gates of entrance, viz. North, by
Oxford-street—East, by the Grosvenor and Stanhope ;
gates—and South, by the principal one in Piccadilly.
The Foxr-in Hand whips mustered strongly. There
were present—
Lord Hawke, Mr. Buxton, Sir Charles Bamfylde, Mr. Sher-
rard, Mr. Champion, and Lord Sefton ; the Countess de Sallie
(a new importation), sported a munificent landau, the pannela
of which were, unlike every other carriage in the ring, of gold
leaf, richly emblazoned with heraldic ornaments. Among the
other novelties was an East Indian, who exhibited an elegant and
singularly light equipage, with four-in-hand.
Among the Fashionables were—
His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucestei; the French
Dukes De Bourbon and de Berri ; the Prince and Princess Ces-
telcicala ; Duchesses Donet, Chandos, Beaufort, Leeds, Buc-
cleugh, and Brurswkk ; Marchionesses of Headtort, Salisbury,
Bath,Thornond, and. Wellesley; Countesses of Mansfield, Pens-
broke, Clenmell, Cholniondeley, Camden. Sefton, and Scarbo-
rough ; Ladies Dtngazinon, Hampden, Castlereagh, Cranky,
Lake, G. Beresford, C. Darner, Harrireon, Somers, Carrinress,
and Beauchamp ; Mistregses Boehm, Walpole, Beaumont, Owen,
Thomson, Knox, Robinson, Rose, St. Leger, and G. Lambe.

latter were acquitted. Their trial commenced at
eight o'clock in the morning, and continued till half-
past ten the same evening.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—Monday morning last, an
accident happened at Felling, near Newcastle, more
direful in its consequences than any other of the same
nature within our recollection. During the time of
the pitmen being fully employed in the coal pits be-
longing to Messrs. BRANDLING and Co. an explosion,
took place, from what cause is not ascertained, by
which about 90 men and boys have lost their lives; at
least there is scarcely reason to hope to the contrary,
as it was found necessary to shut up the pits ! he
I number saved is not more, we understand, than tan
