The Stocks have been falling all the morning, on
account of the Loan. The 3 per Cents. Reduced
began this morning at 59,',; at one o'clock they
were sg.t.

Last year the Loan was only Twelve Millions.

An Anholt Mail, which arrived this forenoon, has
brought us accounts from Gottetiburgh to the 7th'
instant. An article in the Swedish Papers. 31ted St.
Petersbuigh, 10th April, states, that 6, utmost
exertions were then making by the Emperor. ALEV.
ANDER, to procure transports for conveying troops
from Finland, supposed to be destined for Memel.—
The number wanted was so great, that orders had
been sent to Sweden to engage some, for which.
.high premium was to be given. Those who may in-
fer from this circumstance, a disposition on the part
of the Emperor of Russra, to renew the war with
France, will soon have reason, we believe, to
change their opinion. The. Board of Xrade in this
country, have already suspended the granting of
Licences for the sailing of neutrals to the Baltic; and
It is understood they are. in future *to be .dispensed
I with. This circumstance amounts to a pretty plain
indication on the part of our Government, that no
reliance is to be placed on the rumours of hostilities
being about to commence between France aad ans-
sia ; but that, on the contrary, the approach of the
troops of both these Emperors to the shores of the
Baltic, is for the purpose of co-operating in mea-
snres calculated effectually to shut out all British
commerce in that quarter. So long as we can have a
fleet in those seas, BONAPARTE will ever be jealous
of our intercourse with the Continent, whence he
has determined entirely to exclude our manufactures.

Yesterday the PRINCE RF.GEVT held a Council, at
which Lord Viscount- gIDMOUTH was sworn in Secre-
tary of State for the Home Department. rice Mr.
RYDER, who has resigned ; and Earl If tanowav,
Lori! President of the Council, vice Lord 4iostouTti ;
Earl BATHURST,' Secretary of State for the War and
Colonial Department ; and the Hight Honourable
Nicu. VANSITTART, Chancellor of the Echequer.,
Lord CASTLEREAGH and Lord MLLVILLE continue in
the same offices they have for some time past filled';
as does also Lord ELDON.' _ _

The Hon. Captain BLLOIT was hronght eft in the
Court of King's Bench yesterday morning, on a re-
cognizance entered into seven years ago, to keep the
peice towards Lord DARNLEY, and committed to the
King's Bench Prison, for violating this recognizance
by his late conduct in threatening Lord DARNLEY,
and going about with loaded pistols.—He will be
brought up on Monday.

No. I.—Minute of a eommanication made by Lord %WELLESLEY
to Lords GREY and GRENVILLE, at Lord Gnat's House, dated
May 1814.
Lord' Wellesley stated, that he had received the commands Of
his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, to lay before his Royal
Hiso,hness the plan of such an Administration as he (Lord Wel-
' jesley) might deem adapted to the present crisis of affairs. That
lie had apprised his Royal Highness of the necessity of ascer.
taming the views and dispositions of all parties with regard to
certain general principles, previously to the formation of any
such plan. That be considered himself merely as the, instrument
of executing his Royal Highness's commands on this occasion;
and that be neither claimed, nor desired for himself, any station
In the Administration which it was in his Royal ilig ness's con.
•templation to form. Under these circumstances, he requested to
know, whether any obstacle existed to the concurrence of Lords
Grey and Grenville, or ttecir friends, in the following general
•principles, as the basis upon which an Administration might be
formed t— •••
First, That the state of the laws affecting the Roman Catho-
lics, and the claims of that body of his Majesty's subjects,
should be taken into immediate Consideration, with a view to a
conciliatory adjustment of those claims;
Secondly, That the war in the Peninsula should be prosecuted
on a scale of adequate vigour,
• Lord Wellesley stated, that as Mr: Canning and he agreed in
these principles, he had requested Mr. Canning to communicate
them to Lord Liverpool.
Lord Wellesley has reduced the substance of this eammonica-
don to writing, and any, submits it to Lord Grey and Lord Gren-
ville. • (:gpsd)

leaky to tPoriformiveaßegpleanntofhavainsiAdministration, to he submitted for
his Royal Highness's approbation, Mr. Canning was requested by Lord Wellesley (as the channel of communication thought
likely to be most agreeable to Lord Liverpool) to enquire of
Lord Liverpool, whether there would he a disposition on Me
part of Lord Liverpool, and of his Colleagues, or of any of them,
to entertain any proposal which should be made to them for
forming part of that Administration. The principles u en which
the Administration was Intended to be formed were stated to
be, Ist, the taking into the early and serious consideration of the
Executive Goverment the state of the laws cam* the R
ornap
Catholics, with a sincere and earnest desire to bring that inv.
portant question to a final and satisfactory settlement ;_ldly,
The prosecution of the war in the Peninsula with the best means
of the country. It was stated, that there would be the strongest
wish to comprehend in the arrangement, without any individusi
or party exeu ion whatever, as many as possittle of such peeing,
as might be able to agree in giving their public services to the
country on these two principles. With respect to the distribs.
lion of offices, it was stated, that nothing of any sort was decided
or stipulated ; but that every thing would be open to bearranged
to the honour and satisfaction of all putts.

all public men, both by frank mod conciliatory explanatious of
principle, and by
/jection, to facilitate,as far as may be in their power, the mean
of giving erect to the late vote of the House of Commons, and :f
avertiog the imminent and unparalleled dangers of the country.
Lord Wellesley has selected two, among the many important
subjects which must engage the arentioa of any men, who
could, in such circumstances, be called up in to consider of the
acceptauce of stations of public trust. On those two p tints our
espinnat iota shall be as distinct as it is in our power to make It.
On the first, indeed, our opinian is too well known, and has
bees too recently exprvsatal, to need repetition. We base de-
rived a very high gratification from Lord Wellesley's powerful
exertions in support of the claims of the Roman Catholics; as
well as, from the manner io which that subject is adverted to in
his minute; and we do not hesitate to swore him, that we will
warmly support any proposal made by any Ministers, fur the
'immediate consideration of those claims with a view to their
conciliatory adjustment; a measure, without which we have al-
ready declared, that we can entertain no hope, in any ease, of
rendering our own Services useful. As to tie second po'vr, go
person feels more strongly than we do the advantages which
would result from a successful termination of the present contest
in Spain. But we are of opinion, that the direction of military
operatious in an extensive war, and the snore ir less vigorous
prosecutiou of those operations, are questions not of principle
bid of policy; to be regulated by circumstances in their nature
temporary and fluctuating, and in many cases known only to
persons in official stations,—by the engagements of the county,
the prospects of ultimate success, the extent of tbe exertions oe-
ermay for its attainment, and the means of supporting these ef.
(hits without too great a pressure on the finane.s and internal
prosperity of the country. On such questions, therefore;ao pub.
lie wen, is hether in or out of office, can undertake for more titan
a deliberate and dispassionate consideration, according to al
, dreumstatices of the case as it may appear, amid to much nteas
of information as may then be within their reach. Rut see cam.
not in sincerity conceal from Lord Wellesley, that, in the pew
sent state of she finances, we entertain the strongest doubts of the
practicability of an increase in any branch of the public capes.

I received your letter of lag night, which I will immediately
transmit to Lord Wellesley. Before I 'do so, however, and 4

1 cannot forheAt sugg.'sting to yin' to consider, whether the
of p•rsono. objection which your letter evidently and exelasisely
Implies, will stand fairly before toe country, at such.' ntoineut.,
as a justification for refusing to act is an Administr.liion. to the
public principles of wit ch you do not feel, or at least do m t
state, any in,urinountable repugnance. I wunld :tows. to yin
further to consider, whether, resting your refusal on an o. jec-
lion merely per.unal, pin do gni e justly either by yourselves
or by the individual concerned, in leaving the precise nature af
that objection wholly unexplained. In offering these sugges-
tions, I perhaps exceed the limits of 4 correspondence such as
oar's is, upon this occasion: but they strike me so ftircibly, that
I think I owe It to you, not to withhold them, Yibether to
communicate them to your col e toes oecot, 1 leave entirely to
your discretion ; but you at least will not resent, so fares you
