rotwitbstattling these Melly important secessions front thee

vice of the Stat., no doubt whatever is entertained in the best in-
formed political circles, of Mr. CALKING 'S success in forming an
Administration fully competent to the able discharge of all official
duty, and In all rtspeets well entitled to the confidence of the SOUL-
LEG, and the country ! The turn which affairs have taken has
had the effect of identifying in themind of the Hunan Psissoxacx
in the State the success of Mr. Caesuto with the maintenance and
preservation of that Royal prerogative, which is justly held to be in-
dispensable to the honour and dignity of the British Crown: The
decisive language of offended Maseerr is that he will firmly
abide by his determination, formed as it has been upon the maturest
consideration. in regard to the choice of his Prime Minister ; and
as a proof of the firmness of his resolution in this respect, be lost
no time in appointing the Duke of CLAILINCI to the office of Lori
High of desired of Ehglaod (which has been held in Commission
ever since the time of JAMS; Duke of Yoar., afterwards Jaunts
the Second), to be assisted by a Council, composed of the pre-
sent Junior Lords of the Admiralty, Mr. Ceoux continuing
to perform the important duties of Chief Secretary. His
Royal Highness of CLARINCZ will thus be placed, with regard to
the Navy, in the same position in which the Duke of YOLK
stood in respect to the Army ; but as in the cue of the late
Commander in-Chief, his Royal Highness will not have a seat
in the Cabinet. Such was the first result of the truly Regal and
Constitutional determination of his Meaner:; and it has been the
first step, because the resistance of Lord Matviu.a to the wishes
of the Kum was the most unexpected, and therefore more
displeasing than that of any other of the seceding Ministers. With
this single exception, the door to reconciliation continued for
wow days completely open ; nor ha* it even yet been finally
closed. Mr. CANNING is still anxious to secure the co-operation
of his Colleagues, whose value he fully knows how to appre.
date. The principles of the Government, as we have already said,
are to undergo no change. Surely, then, it is not too much to hope
that a re-union so important to the interests and so dear to the
wishes of the country, nsay yet, in part at least, be accomplished.—
We are rejoiced to say, that some steps tending to this desired end
have been already taken. Lord Dexter has in fact already with.
drawn his resignation ; and some indications of a similar disposition
have been manifested by Earl Barsioase. We sincerely hope that,
this disposition will extend further, and that It will be protetedy
shown, lest it should come too late. If ne such re-union
she
take place, the Administration will be constituted as follows :
First Lord of the TteasaiT and Chancellor Mr. cAriura.
of the Exchequer
Lord Chancellor (with a Peerage) . Sir J. Coaxer.

With respect to the important once of Commander to Cblef
(which as well as that of Master General of the Ordnance, we are
grieved to say, the illustrious Was.umarom has resigned), we under-
stand that the Army is to Ile gratified by having again a Member of
the Royal Family placed at its head. The Duke of Cminiamoe is to
be invited to undertake this laborious and honourable charge.
It will be perceived at once, from the very ample communication
we are thus early enabled to make, that Mr. Cosiness:4s performing
with no sluggish band the • task, painful as it has been rendered.
which his Bovaauou has entrusted to him. If additional strength
to the Administration should be found necessary, it is understood
that a certain Noble Lord, and one two others of the most able
and respectable Members of the Opposition, are ready to lend their
aid to the Government, although founded upon the principles we
have stated. No such necessity, however, is expected to adore.
As might have been expected some of the princip.l OfScers of the
Household have followed the example of the seceding Members of
the Cabinet.—The Marquis of Lommtinzenv has resigned his once
as a Lord of the Bedchamber; the Duke of Dosser, as Master of
the Florae; the Duke of Moriviso.e, as Lord Chamberlain; and
the Marquis 41( COA d AN, as if,C Chamberlain.
