THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.

mums* we have to announce to our antions
paw doiormaticat of a New Administration. At
soesvf,kmk yetterd#, and not before, his Royal
Hobart* ?VMS RaoveT sent for Marquis Wat.-
sum, imd formally signified to that Nobleman a
wish that his Lordship should proceed to form an
Administration over which he should preside as Pre-
min. The Noble Marquis instantly communicated
his Royal Highness's commands to Mr. CANNING,
who cosseted to take a prominent part in the Ca-
binets and proceeded to the House of Commons,
where he made the declaration, which will be found
cloudy gireo in our Parliamentary Report. Mr.
iimimmon, the friend of Mr. CANNING, also takes an
active share in the New Administration, probably i
dist of Chancellor of the Exchequer, for which his
talents and financial acquirements most eminently
qualify him. Earl Moina, whose
11 Lofty spirit seated in a heart of honobr,"
idd dignity and strength to any Cabinet of
*di be forms a part, has also accepted of a distill.
oiled situation. Thus have-four out of the twelve
sionties in the Cabinet, been filled up with men of
demist approved talent in'the Empire; and if splen-
isd abilities can procure popularity, surely their ap-
pnithient ought to give iatisfaction to a large por-
tion of the community.

of the Constitution, with a concord and energy that,
afford the belt promiie of the integrity with Which
they will conduct the affairs of the State, if the
reins if be put Into theif hands;
We rejoice to see the &in and manly stand that
has been inade l and rove are sure that when the
Panrcs Rimy shall be free from the evil coun-
sellors who have poisoned his ear with the gross and
scandalous insinuations, that there ought to be no
scruple in any subject's mind to comply with every
wish that he might express he will be the first to ad-
mire the rectitude and dignity of the statesmen, who,
with true English feelings, could not bring them-
selves tc, sacrifice the principles of their lives fot -the
emoluments, without the power of office."
The precise situation which Mr. CANNING is to
hold has not been mentioned. Whatever it may be,
however, he will unquestioilahly take the lead in that
House, where he has so often displayed the transcen-
dent powers of a great and vigbrous mind. In elo-
quence he has few equals, and certainly no superior,
and in his publiC capacity, he has never shaken that
chivalrous spirit of honour, and integrity, which is the
characteristic of true genius.

Yesterday his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT
gave a grand dinner at Carlton House, to their
Royal Highnesses the Dukes of KENT, CUMBERLAND,
Soma, and Cassintrooa, the Princesses Anourra,
MARY, CHARLOTTE Of WALES, and the Duchess of
Yenx, Lady DE CLIFFORD, kc.
. Yesterday Earl MOIRA and the Marquis WEL-
Lamr/ had long audiences of the PRINCE REGENT at
Carlton Noble.
His Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE did
not leave Bushy yesterday for Windsor, on account
of indisposition.
, Yesterday the Knights of the Bath, installed at
Westminster Abbey, dined at the Clarendon Hotel.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Yost, as acting
Master of the Order, presided in the Chair.
VAUXHALL GARDENS.—The unfavourable state of
the weather prevented the Proprietors from throWing
open these delightful fairy scenes- to the Public last
night. To-morrow is now fixed for the Grand Fete
With which they are to commence the season ; and
we have no doubt the harvest will be abundant and
profitable. The trifling rise in the price of admission,
which has w.th great reluctance been-resorted to by
the liberal Proprietors, is, in our opinion, an inade-'
quate coMpensation for their immense outlay in addi-
&alai decorations. Several select parties of fashion-
ables have visited the Gardens in a private manner,
and have witnessed the rehearsals, within these few
days ; and all have been filled with delight and admi-
ration at the splendid treat prepared for the Public.
How striking must be the iinpression on the mind,
therefore, when the 20,900 laTnps throw their brilliant
lustre on the festive scenes! We have no doubt that
every night's entertainment will be a bumper.
BEL LINOHAM.—A letter from this desperate assassin
to a friend in Liverpool, dated May 11, 1812, the
very day on which he perpetrated his crime, con-
chides with the following paragraph, sufficiently sig-
nificant of the wicked purpose formed and cherished
in the villain's Mind; and contemplated with so little
repugnance or remorse as merely to be talked of by
him in a light and sporting sort of starle
e I wish my affairs were come to a conclusion—every thing,
in point of law, is in my favour; Dui Mr..PlacavAt. and the
Ministry have sbewn themselves more 'inclined to (jvoyr Lord
Gowen than do justice to ine ; however, as I am resolved on
having justice, in case of need, I will very shortly play a court
card to compel them to finish the game. lam your's sincerely,
" JOHN 11C1.1.114011AM
BREAD.—This day the Lord Mayor ordered it to
continue at its present price—Quartern loaf Is. 6d.
The wetness of yesterday frustrated the intentions
of 'many who intended to visit Cornhill, to feast their
s upon the Guineas exhibited at the Lottery Of-
fices. Hail, rain, or snow, vie suppose they will not
be prevented from doing so to-day and to-morrow,
for, as the Lottery draws on THURSDAY, these shovers
of Gold will of course go into the pockets of the
lucky Adventurers.
The following are some additional particulars re-
lative to the gallant affair, in which the GOSHAWK
and HYACINTH were lately engaged off Malaga; and
which we noticed on Friday GosisAwn
arrived at Gibraltar from Spithead on the 28th of
April, and sailed the same day for Malaga, where
she arrived the following morning, and found the
HYACINTH, of 2Q guns, Captain Usnsa, and the
RESOLUTE gun-brig. Immediately on her joining, it
was determined to attack a privateer, commanded
by the noted BIHNADOS, laden with gold and silver
images, the sacrilegious plunder of the French army,
and several other vessels which were alongside the
wall of the Mole. For this purpose 167 men and
officers were selected from the three ships, and pro.
ceeded for the attack. At nine in the evening of the
29th, Captain Liam, with two of his Lieutenants
and GO men, landed, and after a sharp brush, took
a battery of 13 guns, which were spiked and thrown
over the parapet. . A detachment was sent to attack
another •battery of four guns, which our brave tars
could not carry ; and the fire from which considera-
bly annoyed Captain LILILURN'S party, who went to
the attack of the vessels. It consisted of Lieutenants
OTTEY and ARNOLD, the Surgeon of the Gosztawst;
and about 60 men. The boats were suffered to ap.
proach within half-pistol shot, when the enemy com-
menced a desperate resistance, shewing, that thongh
they had been silent, they had not been asleep. In
attacking a gun.boat, which was not carried without
a gallant resistance, • Captain LILISURN received a
mortal wound. Lieutenant ARNOLD, in the jolly-
boat, carried another gun.boat, but received a severe
wound in his right arm, which, it is feared, he will
lose the use of, and a flesh wound in the thigh.—
These vessels, with the privateer, were brought out :
and the party which landed re-embarked with their
wounded, though the beach was lined with military.
The loss of the GOSHAWK was five men killed and
15 wounded—total loss 60 killed and wounded.—
Captain Lualunies body was carried to Gibraltar,
and interred with military honours. The GOSHAWK
landed the wounded there. Captain Lu.auasr, of
the GOSUAWX, who has fallen in the rencontre, was
son of the late Mr. Liman, Master in the Royal
Navy. He was esteemed a goad officer, and has
left a wife and

l what manner, or frosts what materials, the other
pm of the Cabinet are to be selected, we know not :
bit we can state Positively, that, subsequent to Mr.
, Ranonlr's declaration in the House of Commons
1 'ast bight, Marquis WELLESLEY made a eommlinica-
in to Earl GREY and Lord GRENVILLE. The let-
wko the former was transmitted to his Lordship at
kis house in Portman4quase, and an express was sent
*Ltd Gastsvutz at Dropmore. A meeting took
piton at a late hour at Lord Gary's house, where all
the principal Members of both Houses who concur
la opinion on political topics assembled. The result
d the deliberations at this meeting was laid before
I. ism* Rxnert this afternoon by Marquis Wet-
Ws ; but the precise nature of their determination
lei IXE transpired.
In the mean time various rumours are in circula-
tion respecting the sentiments of opposition. In some
oinks It is positively asserted, that the overtures
nude to the tw Noble Lords at their head were
to alluring as „to have been instantly accepted, and
tit the cooperation of their friends, the Marquis
irLINIIDOWNE and Lord HOLLAND, may at all events
be reckoned upon as certain.
This assertion is, however, directly contradicted,
sad we believe with greater probability in other guar li
-
tax It is stated that the extension of our exertions
in the Peninsula, so frequently insisted on by the
111211RiSWILLESLET and Mr. CANNING in Parliament,
added to their avowed opinions op the subject of Ca-
tholic emancipation, have been considered so discor-
dant with the pledges by which the party termed the
Opposition consider themselves bound to the public,
that no coalition can be forined. Indeed the lan-
riage of the Morning Chronicle of to-day, on this
subject, tends greatly to confirm us in the opinion we
lyre ventured, as being supported on the.most pro-
loldv batik The following is the manner in which
the :object is alluded tot
MORNING CHRONICLE.
" It will be seen by Mr. CANNING'S statement yes-
terday m the House of Commons, that the intrigues
Idgeb hoe been carrying on so indefatigably for these
het three weeks, to keep the late Miaisters in their
dreraal.bare at length given way to the united voice
d the public. We must not flatter ourselves, how-
me, that they are yet at an end. It remains to be
Kea what is the Nature of the proposal which the
Prank Resler bas authorized the Marquis WEL-
RIM to submit to Lord; GRIT and GRENVILLE,
Win thou respective friends. Until we know this,
malt be cautious how we trust to appearances.—
We have had too much experience already of the
ad'ivors of the lite delays, and of the dexterity of
tbe • •
principal one, whom we yesterday pointed out
to the public; we know too well the endless resources
4 his legal metaphysics, to believe that they are even
Aver exhausted. It is to be hoped that he was not
