In the same Church there are two ravens, said to

by transporting in. their beAks to the place of its des=

has a most disgusting appearance—the poor, the sick,
the blind, and the maimed, are ranged on each side,
and even in the interior, little ragged, filthy children
are nestling together with dogs, or using them as pd.
lows to sleep on.

• His Majesty's ship MEC% whose arrival was so long
and impati.ntly expected, has at last arrived at Ports-
mouth, from Vera Cruz.

In the first part of our yesterday's impression, we no•
ticed the resumption of the negociitions with the
Marquis of LANSDOWN ; and in a second Edition of the
STAR, we had the satisfaction of Announcing (exclusively)

their successful termination in the following worth :

" We stop the Press to state, that we bare ascertained
that the Duke of DaVONSHIRE returned this morning
from the Marquis of LANSDOWN'S at Bowood, in Wilt-
shire, whither he had gone on Saturday by desire of
the XING. Immediately after his arrival in town, his
Grace waited on Mr. CANNING, to whom he stated that
the slight differences which had existed between the
Marquis and Mr. CANutuo were now happily removed,
and that his Lordship had agreed to join Mr. CAN.
muds Administration."

To say that we rejoice at the accession of this amiable,
enlightened, and patriotic Nobleman to an Administra-
tion, having Mr. CANNING at its head, and enjoying, as
the most sceptical must now be persuaded, the entire
and unreserved confidence of his MAJSSTT, would but
very imperfectly express our sentiments. Those, who
could not, or would not, see before, must now clearly
behold the principles upon which the Ktero's Govern-
ment will be based in future, and the spirit in which
it is to be conducted. The principles are those,
which placed the august family of our beloved
and most excellent Sovsnatax upon the throne, not in
a narrow and factious sense, but in the widest and
most just' acceptation of the word. The illustrious
House of Brunswick is litesolly identified with the
great cause of civil and religleus liberty ; and to it,
next to Gon, the world is indebted for the progress
which that holy cause has made for the last hun-
dred years, in both hemispheres, and the inestimable
blessings it has diffuted. The spirit of his MA-Tarries
future government, besides being strictly congenial to
those principles, will take an additional tincture from
the high and honourable character of the individuals,
who will compose the Ministry, as well as from the pe-
culiar circumstances, under which they are c.illed upon
to conduct the affairs of the nation. But, it is the
feelings of the KING himself that will chiefly invi-
gorate this spirit, and, to such, as still want to know,
what these feelip are, we shall say in the concise and
emphatic style Of the monumental inscription in the
greatest of our tAnsples to the greatest of our arciiitec.s
Craceeaseu3l." Yes; ye, who still tarry in the sha.
dows of ignorance, or obstinately sojourn in the mazes
of doubt, have only to make a proper use of your senses,
to be able immediately to ascertain what these feelings
are. It is now aas clear as the sun at noonday," that
the chief. (perhaps the exclusive) honour of the change,
*high has gladdened every honest heart in the wide ex-
- tent of Isis Majesty's dominions, is due to the K/No. It
was bls discrimination alone, unaided by any other
light, save what Monarch', as well as bumbler
individuals, receive at particular times from the
Great fountain of truth,—which selected the chief,
materials of his feture government ; and those who.

KING has tiken in the formation of the new Cabinet,
or of the spirit by which he wishes that his Government
should be guided henceforth. The data we have already
given are conclusive; and whoever will reject them for
the nonsensical or wicked rumours which ignorance cr
malice may invent, are absolutely unable to distinguish
between the plainest truths and the grossest sophistries.
We have, however, a more pleasaa• task, than to con-
tend with stubbornness and perversity--that of congra-
tulating the country upon the cheering pro.pect that
lies before her, and in heartily wishing that the sanguine
hopes, in which the public generally indulge at this
moment, may be fully and speedily realized. All classes
will be henceforth united in their wishes and efforts for
their common country: and to bring all her mighty
resources into full pile. and snake England again the
happiest, as well as the most free and enlightened nation
upon the surface, of the glob, Nothing, in our opinion,
was ever wanting but an efficient Administration,
united People, and a patriotic Monarch.
Upon inquiry at the proper sources, we are no w
able to confirm fully every thing that we stated above,
respecting the issue of the negotiation. All the principal
points are agreed upon ; and nothing is wanting to
complete the arrangement, but the arrival of the Noble
Marquis, who is expected in town this evening.
We have the pleasure to add, that the KIIIG has been
pleased, in the most warm and courteous terms, to *-
press to the Duke of DEVONSEIIRC his highest satisflte-
don at the indefatigable exertions made Isi his Grace
to effect this auspicious junction.
