THE A DMINI STRATION'

Marquis

deavours to patch up a Ministry in the way cam-
,
mended by the PRINCE REGENT, resigned hit

and received the necessary directions to pronged
immediately to the formation of a new Administra-
tion. Whether the instructions- given the Noble
Earl are Ibe same under which his predecessor acted,
I we have no means of ascertaining. But if they are,
it is impossible that any thing good can result from this
new attetnpt, favourable to the interests of the court-
try. An interesting conversation took place last night
in the House of Lords, in thecoUrse of which Marquis
' WEEErsEEit stated, that "great animosities, dread.
fad permit animosities, had prevaiiedi animosities
fdeeply to be bretented, and, which might be attended
•
wish the most alarming consequences in the present
critical situation of the coontry." Lord Glue-
TILE; disclaimed, for himself and Earl GREY, any
participation in these disgraceful feelingi, and said,
that the only points on which he could ever think of
hesitating, were those which might concern the
• " public welfare." Earl GREY acquiesced entirely
in this statement. On the other hand, the INrl of
LIVERPOOL, for himself and friends, distinctly stated,
that they were uninfluenced in this transaction by pi-
rate and personal animosity, and that the only points
in which they differed with their opponents were
points " of Government and of the Constitution.'—
To sum up the whole, Earl MoIRA said, that he had
had some opportunity of witnessing the conduct of the
parties in this important transaction, " and he could
affix no injurious motive to any of them." Now, what
are we to make of all this ? Which of the parties art
we to credit in this extraordinary affair ? Did Mar.
quis WELLEsLEY state a falsehood when he asserts,
that dreadful personal animosities" had prevailed in
the course of the attempts to unite the different parties ?
Impossible!—the Noble Lord's high sense of honour
utterly precludes the idea. Neither can we question
the disclaimation of all personal feeling on the part
of Earl LIMEY and Lord GRENVILLE. It might then
; be snpoesed that the individuals charged with being
influenced by peisonal animosity, were the late Mi.
•sisters. But here we have the authority of Earl
;MOIRA againit entertaining such an opinion; at
least in so far as Lords LIVERPOOL or CASTLEREAGH
are concerned. Again, with regard to the Faisal
REGENT, the Noble Earl distinctly stated, that " as
to his Royal Highness, he must give the testimony
which opportunity and experience of that illustrious
Personage allowed him to give, to the •good faith,
•
sincerity, and constitutional spirit, which had guided
him through the entire negociation." Here then is
the true state of the case fairly developed. It is not
! the predilections of his Royal Highness that stand hi
the way of forming an efficient Ministry.' It is not
the personal feelings of Earl GREY, of Lord ti nes-
t max, nor of any of their friends that interrupt
this. Nor is the difficulty occasioned by the Earl of
LIVERPOOL or Lord CASTLEREAGH. It arises only
from that power which has been long Ir —noWR to exist
iu the State ; that geeret influence behind the Throes
which is greater than the Throne itself, 'and which
aims at subjecting 00 Sovereign and the People to
Its despotic sway, The moment ha not yerarrir

sufficient for oar present purpose to know, that suet

a faction exists; and that it isto the machinations
of this faction we owe the present unsettled state of
►iie Government. What it will produce in the eud
Lion only knows. But of this we• may be certain,
t if its influence is not immediately destroyed,it will
• impossible for Earl MOIRA, even though his ta-
nts were a thousand times more brilliant and con-
noting than they are, to form in Administration
okich mill restore the confidence of the people, and
place the PR►NCE REGENT in that independent situa-
tion, marked out for him in the Constitution.

By the arrival of a Lisbon Mail this forenoon, we
have received Portuguese Papers to the 27th ult.--
The expedition of General HILL seems to have been
50 far successful—On the 19th ult. he took the
bridge cf Almarez, together with 300 prisoners, in.
eluding the French General who commanded. One hun-
dred of the enemy are said to have been killed, and 250
drowned, in attempting to escape. Neither the amount
of the British division, nor that of the enemy, is men-
tioned; but our loss is estimated at from 8(3 to 100
sum in killed and wounded. After the blow was
struck, General Thu destroyed all the French
works, and carried away all the artillery, ammuni-
tion, and provisions, found in the place. The fol-
lowing are extracts :

LISBOV, Mlt 26.

On the 19th, General Hat completely succeeded
in his views on the works and bridge of Atalanta ;
the quantity of stores and ammunition taken greatly
exceeds expectation. Our loss is ender one
hundred killed and wounded. The enemy had a
General and 250 men drowned in attempting to escape,
100 killed, and 300 made prisoners. Our &stand
sixth divisions passed through Badajos nn the 20th
and 21st, to keep the French quiet (luring General
HILL'S absence. On the ‘2lst the bead-quarters
were at Geinalde. DRourr has again retired.—
The 50th regiment distinguished themselves at Al-
mares.
