RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS.

This event, so essential to the salvation of the no,
tion, we have at last the heartfelt satisfaction to
announce.--ScarLely had we laid down our
pen almost in despair for the fate of ,our beloved
country, which had been entrusted to such con•
Omptible politicians as a LIVERPOOL, a CASTLEREAGH,
and a VAreserrarr, when we were unexpectedly
aroused from our gloomy apprehensions, to contem-
plate brighter• prospects. The spell which held the
PRINCE Reoesrrbound, was in a moment dissolved
by the constitutional vote of the Commons House of
Parliament, who, in this single act, have done more
real service to the country than all the enact-
ments of the Legislature for these twenty years
past. The Address of the House of' Commons,
declaratory of the incapacity of Ministers, had not
been voted many honrs before it was presented by
the Hon. Mover, and the noble Lord who seconded
14.t0 his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, seated
on the Throne, who, in an unusually firm and 4711-
fied wanner, returned the following answer:—"
will take into my most serious and immediate consi-
deration, the Address which I have received from the
House of Commons." It would seem that the mush-
room Ministry entertained no idea that the vote of
the House of Commons would be regarded by the
PRINCE as theirfiat; for, except Mr. R.T DER, who on
this occasion displayed more than usual penetration,
they all clung to their posts till the unequivocal words
of his Royal Highness, which dissipated their expec-
tations, vibrated in their eajs. Then, and not till
then, did they feel it necessary to tender their resig-
nations, and to retire from the Royal presence over-
whelmed with disgrace and despair. Such has been
the well-merited fate of a LIVERPOOL, who, as a
colleague of Mr. PITT,, assisted in plunging this
country into the present war, and enabled him to fol-
low up that abominable System which has proved so
fatal to liborty, and to the commercial intereos of
a great people. Such also has been the termination
of the career of a CasnentAttu, who, though of
Irish extraction, had forged eternal fetters for his
countrymen, and resolved to deny an immense pro-
portion of the population of Great Britain, the en-
joyment of their civil rights, because they refused
to worship GOD in the manner which he, Lord
CASTLEREAGH,' arrogated to himself the right of
pointing out.. It is well for them that their power
has bean short ; it would infallibly have proved
fatal to them. But it is better, ten thousand times
better for the country, that their plans have been ar-
rested. It opens a prospect which must rejoice the
heart of every true patriot. It is a pledge that Bri.
tain will yet enjoy many happy days, and that the
snit of her glory, which was on the verge of setting
for ever, will yet shine forth with resplended
beams. Although we cannot give with accuracy
the names of those si ho are to compose the new Ad-
ministration, we are able to state, that immediately
op the vote of the House of Commons, being inlfili
S
daily communicated to the PRINCE REGENT,
•
Royal- highness sent for Marquis WELLESLEY, •
gave him instructions on this important subject.--

sty, and &mamas mentioned, there remains no
doubt in our mibdi that an Administration will be
formal which will give universal satisfaction. Mar-
quis WxLizscair will no doubt associate Mr. CAN.
NING with him. Their views and interest are inse-
parable. On some points they do not altogether
greeiWith the Opposition ; but these are of a trifling
uature when compared with the difficulties that stand
iD the way of a junction with the late Ministeri;
and will, we are persuaded, be conceded in such a
way as neither to affect the honour of the one party
nor of the other. Having the interest of the coun-
try in view, and animated by a sincere desire to
promote its welfare, no petty jealousies, no trivial
difference of opinions, ought to mar the accomplish-
ment of this grand object. We trust we shall be
able, in our next, to announce to our Readers that
such an Administration has been formed as will re-
store the confidence of the nation, and speedily ter-
!Monte those miserierwith which we are at present so
universally afflicted.

We have received New York Letters and Papers
to the 21st of April. Congress have followed up
the Embargo law by another measure equally hos-
tile to the commercial interests of this country. The
exportation of specie, goods, and merchandise, of
every description is prohibited during the continu-
ance of the above Act.

to the expiration thereof, in the same manner as if
this „Act had continued in full force and virtue.

wASIIINGTON, Aran. 13.
ilOusE OF REFREsENTATIvES.

Mr. SMITH presented the Memorial of WILLIAM
PATTERSON sad Sous, and others, 'merchants, of
Baltimore, praying a suspension of the Noa-impor-
tation Act, or a partial modification thereof, which
was read.

A Resolution from the Mouse of Representatives,
appointing a Committee on their part, to join such
Committee as the Senate may appoint, to consider
and report what business demands the immediate at-
tention of Congress, and whether a recess be com-
patible with the public interest, and the term of
such recess, in which resolutntion they request the
concurrence of the Senate, was read and passed to a
second reading.

Mr. Wynn; from the Military Committee, made
a Report on the Petition of EDIVARDCLARZE, respect-
ing a new mode of harbour defence by buoy forts.—
The Report states, that the Committee had examined
the model, but that it was impossible to judge of the
effect without an actual experiment. The Committee
therefore recommended a Resolution, that the Se-
cretary of the Navy be authorized to make en eve.
