The arrangement cf a new Admiailtration is likely
to occupy more time than moll people could have
believed poffible. Yeßerdity a Privy Council was
held, which was attended by the LOU> CO aIICILLOI9
the Duke of Poe rLs ND, the Earls of Wirral() 0
CHATHAM, and ST. VIIICSIT, Lords HAWICESSURY
and Hossav, Vikoont CAITLIRIAoH, Mr. Aoot so.
TOM, and Mr. Poems. The CHM Privies of the
Comotoi• Pssas attended, and, we trodeifland. was
fwors. in a•Member of the Privy Council, which did
not break up until half pall three o'clock. Mr.
Pau aaaaa attended as Clerk to the Council. His
Maier:it afterwards gave audiences to the Earls of
CKATN•III and ST. VIIICIOT, the latter of whom, it

1

was reported, gave in his refignation to his Me.
Jassy. The number of carriages pied the crowd of
fpeaators about the Qiiase's Hostfe was as great as
upon t court day. The latter were attrvacd in ex.
peaation of feting the principal Members of the new
Adminißration, who according to report, were to
have been introduced to his Marisry—but not even
Mr. PITT was prefent.
In fel:I difieulties of the kind we yeflerday men-
tioned have arifen, and Mr. Prrr finds it no eafy
matter to form an adminiftration from which Mr.
Fox fhtU be excluded. We have no realms for
believing that he is to be excluded by his with, and
we know that certain leading men have refufed to
join him without Mr. Fox. We caniot pretend t 9 a
perfea knowledge pf all that is paring at the preknt
moment, but we poltefs the means of knowing that
at no period of our hifiory were our leading Svatef-
men ever In a more diftreffing Rate of enthareaffment,
Soon after Mr. PITT'S conference with the Kist
on Monday, a meeting of Mr. Fox's friends took
place at Carleton Houle. Mr. Fox there Rated that
it was hie mot ardent with to fee a vigorous enders:,
cicnt Adminitiration formed ; and he begged them
to confider the objeaion made to himfelf as no obits..
de to their lending their aid and their talents to the
public fervice. They unanimonfly rebind that they
could not become Members of any Adminiftration
from which, in the prefent circumstances, Mr. Fox
was thus excluded, as they could be *filo Life in an
Adminiftration formed on Nth principles.
We Rated yak:day that Lords GasNVILLI,FITZ.
WILLIAM, and SPSACIR, had reftsfed to accept of
appointments. In fad, they Rood pledged, at lead, fo
it is generally underfoot!, for the ad:argon of Mr.
Fox. Atter the refult of Mr. PITT'S interview,a meet-
ing took place in the evening at Lord Gasevouis's
houfe,at which the Marquis of Buceisomat, Lordi
FITZWILLIAM. CARLISLE, SPINCIT, Mr. T. Gas ••
TILLS, Mr. WINDHAM, &C. &C. &c. were peek
Mr. Fox was alto there, and there again reed
that no confederation of circumflances pe!ftinal to
himfelf Mould induce others to withhold' their talents
from the public service at a moment of foal difficulty
and danger. The refult was • determination not to
cake a !hare in any arrangement that fhould exclude
Mr. Fox. Their refolution was ttanfmitted to Mr.
PITT by letter.
So far at kali their conduit is calculated to thew
that they really withed to have the co operation of
Mr. Fox. The only (pillion is, whether Mr. PITT
feels himfelf pledged by any thing that may have
patted between his late Maids and Mr. Fox,
CATtAill it is, that he himfelf has bun captious
not to give any pledge on the banners. As to his
Mar arrr, many of the patties Teem to think it is Not
neceffary even to confult his feelings on a queftion
which fo materially ;areas his rights, and which in
every particular, ought, and nominally 0144, mull
be fettled agreeably to his waits.
It is not eafy to conceive the perplexity In which
Mr. PIT r mutt feel himfelf em the prefent ocwafiot.
—He was not prepared, at lea& to it is faid, for the
Ceceffion of the GAINTILLIS, the deancass, and
WINDNAMITIS. He has not, however, dcfpaired of
being,able to make up an ad miniftration without them,
and. if we may believe reports, he has already made
fonts progrefs. To Rate any thing pofitive, where no-
thing can be confidered as definitively fettled, would
be abfurd—but the Duke of Bs an soar has, it is laid,
been named, Lord Chambeilain, vice the Marquis
of SALMI/AT, and Earl CAMIDYN Steward of the
Houfehold. The LOAD CMANCILLOR, the A. TOINIT

Rater, that Lord Maur mut was to be firß Lord of
the Admirality ; that Lord furrow was to go Lord
Lieutenant to Ireland ; Mr. Ross to be Tredurer
of the Navy 1 Mr. Carets° to Se one of the Seen.
Larks of State ; and Lord GAP N‘ILLS Lsvisou
Cowie Joint Paytnafter. But all this is denied by
PITT'S friends. Mr. Fox, Lord TN tra Low, and Mr.
Siteattiaa, were in long ccofernee for Come hours
yellerday at Carleton Houle. The Pelmet, who
maintained a line of dignified neutrality to the left
moment of political forbearance, has felt it incum-
bent upon him to declare his attachment to the in•
tereft of Mr. Fox ; but this he has not done intent
perately as a partizan, but with all the Clarity of 7.
'satiated Statefinan.
