THE ADMINISTRATION.
ThSugh wz ar., .lot yet able to state that the new
Administration arrangements are completed, their
progoss has been such, and the point which they
h Lye ow reached is so critical, that many hours, we
apps head, cannot pass away before they are brought
It
to r lermination. It is now said, that in the propo-
s;tims made by Marquis WELLE4LEY to the late
Ministry, and to the leaders of Opposition, his
Ladship did not stipulate for any situation for
hinself; but that he merely undertook the business
to 'ratify the wish of tins, Patrresi REGENT. We
doubt, however, the acctfracy of this statement,
both from the terms of the Noble Marquis's project,
ant the respective answers returned to it by the
drent parties, the substance of which we are
n* enabled to lay before our Readers.—Marquis
141.11.SLEY'S propositions, it will be recollected,
we, lot, an early and dispassionate consideration
o'he Catholic Claims, with a view to their arnica-
ril and final adjustment; 2nd, a vigorous and more
tended prosecution of the war in the Peninsula.—
I) these proposals Lord LtrEneooes party en-
s wed, " That it was unnecessary to discuss the prin-
cples of the bags proposed by Lord WELLESLEY
f‘• a new Administration, because they desired to
'Wine being _Vensbers of any Administration form-
dhg the Marquis. Lord MELvltt.c, however, as-
tinted to the principles maintained by Marquis
ieLUMLEY ; and was willing to serve with, but
t under, his Lordship." The following is given
the substance of the joint answer of Lords
rr and Gs EN VILLZ :-" They are perfectly ready
sacrifice all personal feelings, in order to give
tlfect to the vote of the House of Commons, in the

iresent alarming crisis of public affairs. They ex-
fres' their sincere acknowledgments to Lord WEI.
issLEY, for his powerful exertions in support of the
Catholic Claims ; and state their perfect concurrence
in his first principle on this subject. With regard to
the war in the Peninsula, they declare, that no per- ,
sons can more deeply feel than they do the impor-
tance of its successful termination ; but that in re-
gard to its management, it is difficult, without an ti
acquaintance with the details, and all the circum-11
stances of the war, which can only he accessible to
persons in office, to give a decided opinion. They
ale perfectly ready, however, to enter into a dis-
passionate discussion of that important question;
but that it is fair to declare they entertain doubts
whether, in the present distressed state of the coml.
rrs , it will be found practicable to increase the pub-
ic burthens. Lords HoLLANnatod LANsnowNE con-
:urred generally in that opinion ; and particularly in ,
the part which refers to the powerful exertion. of
Lord WELLtsr.ty in support of the Catholic Claims.
—Mr. CANNING and Mr. W. POLL are, of course,
understood to concur throughout with the Noble
Marquis who makes the proposition ; in whose prin.
cirles and opinion the Lords MotaA and EesarNr,
together with Mr. SHERIDAN, are said to coincide."
—We have already stated, that MarquisWEL.LEscear
tommunicated the above answers to the PRINCE Rt.
RENT on Sunday evening. On Monday forenoon his
Royal Highness had an interview with Marquis
l'irmasssr and Mr.o ANNING ; and in the afternoon
the Members of the late Cabinet, including Lords
SIDMOUTH and CAMDEN, held a Council at Fife-house.
From this circumstance, and from the Earl of Liarta-
root. and Lord ELDON having waited oa the PRINCE
REGENT yesterday morning, to communicate the result
of the meeting, it was inferred, and generally re-
ported, that it was in contemplation to restore Lords
Lummox and Cassuatauu. Indeed the persua-
sion was so general, that Mr. Bitouctiam and Mr.
WHITBREAD called on them last night in the House
of Commons for an explanation of the fact. The
answer given by Lord CASTLEREAGH was, that
matters remained at that moment iu the precise
~ame situation in which they were_ on Friday when
he tendered his resignation. This completely re-
waved every dread that the affairs of the country
mould be again entrusted to him and his colleagues.
The fact now turns out is be, that his Royal High-
ness, convinced that it was impracticable to form a
Ministry of such discordant materials as had been
projected by Marquis WELLESLEY, and at,the same
time restore the confidence of the people, sent last
night, immediately after the interview with Lords
LIVERPOOL and ELDON, for that patriotic and po-
pular Nobleman, Earl MOIRA, to whom he gave an
audience at five o'clock in the afternoon. This

interview is said to have been extremely in-
teresting; and, after a lone deliberation, mother
meeting was fixed to. take place this day, when it
was not doubted the N.-ble Earl would receive
the commands of his Royal Highness to &ern a
new Administration. What gime selisigtt this
