THE ADMINISTRATIW:.

111202.1 zeta MoRNINO POSY.
We are happy to be at length enabled to lay berore
ottr Readers, A detailed and correct statement of the
circumstances which preceded and accompanied the dis-
solution of the late Ministry—of the steps which up to
the present moment har•e been taken towards the for•
mation of a new Administration—and of the intentions
and feelings which actuate the illustrious and emir ent
Personages who are the parties to these highly inteiest.
ing end impoatant national arrangemei.ts.
On Wednesday last, Mr. Camaro received the final and decided
commands of his MAJESTY to form an Administration, of which
he was of course to be at the head. The principle that the Catho-
lic Question should be left open, was distinctly aad unreservedly
recognized in all the conferences and communications which pm.
ceded the appointment of Mr. Ca/1111/fO. It is sma razuctria upon
which the Government Is now t• be constituted, whoever 'may be

the individuals composing it.
Mr. CANNING. after having received the full and complete
authority of the Summon, immediately wrote a letter to each
of his Colleagues to apprize them of that fact, and to express
his anxious wish that the public service of the country night
still continue to enjoy the important advantages which It had
so long derived from their talents, experience, and zeal.—
The first smarter to this communication which Mr. CAIOIIIIO
received was from Lord Bitcm, and it expressed the direct ad.
besion of that Noble Lord to the new Administration. The reply
of the Earl of WISTIIORLAMD same next, stating his inability to
give a decided answer to the proposal, until he was informed who
was to be the PtSme Minister. This naturally excited some sur-
prise, which was 'considerably increased when the replies of the
Duke of Virst.t.tonrow, of the Earl of Etna, of Nall BATIMILST, of
Lord Mittvitts, and of Mr. Pm, arrived in rapid succession, each
expressing the same want of information, and neatly in the
same terms. Mr. CANNING, on this, immediately wrote again
to each of the above distinguished persons, infornthsg then that
the Kmo had been graciously pleased to appoint him to the
situation of First Minister of the Crown, and excusing the
omission in his first letter on the ground that be bad imagined
the information to base been in effect conveyed by the contents

of that letter in a manner which could scarcely be misunder.

stood. To this

the general reply was—an ex-

prnsion of apprehension that in the administration of affairs, ques-
tions would arise which might produce in a Cabinet constituted as
was proposed, collisions painful to the feelings of the individuals im-
mediately concerned, and likely to be injurious to the public service ;
and announcing upon this ground an intention to resign. Mr. Pea's
reply differed from those of his Colleagues, inasmuch as he con-
fined himself to the simple announcement of Isis intention to re-
tire from office. He, however, soon after waited personally
on Mr. CAIQWrO, to whom be expressed feelings of una-
bated respect Ind attachment, and in whose mind be fully suc-
ceeded in removing any suspicion that personal dislike towards
himself formed any part of the motives by which be, individually,
was actuated. Lord Ban.sy's final reply was also of course dis-
tinguished from the others. He had acceded in the first instance,
as we have already stated, to the proposed arrangement. He now
ascribed the change of his intentions, to the determination adopted
by so important mad numerous a body sidle friends with whom ha
bad always acted. The occurrences we have thus described took
place ea Wednesday—and on the following day, the seven distin-
guished Persons, as is already known, sent in their formal resigna-
chaos to his Massimo. _ _
