ItOrttlAY, MAT 250812.

We are still unable to relieve the public mind, re-
specting the formation of a new Administration ;
but of this we are certain, that none of the late Mi- ,
nisters will be included in' the artangements which
are going forward. On Saturday we stated, what
now turns out to have been perfectly correct, that on
the resignation of Lord LIVERPOOL and his col-
leagues; the PRINCE, REGENT empowered Marquis
IVet.i.r.stre to prepare an outline of a new Ministry.
After his Lordship had done this, it appears
that he submitted his project to the Members of
the present • Cabinet, who all' declined, except
Lord MELVTILLE, to take any part in the Go-
vernment of the country, along with the Noble
Nlarquis.and Mr. ,Cxxxvic. On this refusal he
had a communication with Earl GREY and Lord
RLNTII;LE but.it is said that this only respected
" certainyrinciples proposed by Marquis WELLES-
LEY as the basis for formin- a new Admi:iistraticv ;"
and " that no utgociation for forming anew
nistration has taken place with these Noble Loris."
Holding this to be the fact, the communication made
to the leaders of .the Opposition, seems to have re-
ferred more to iliil:crpics.than to persons ; and it is
said, that in consequence a an answer returned. by
the lattter, that they would relinquish no part of the •
opinions they avowed on the great leading topics which
have been so recently discussed in Parliament, acoali-1
tion with Lord WELLESLEY and his friends, would mot
take place. It is also rumoured; that the Opposition
have determined not to come into ollice except as a
compact and united body. The result of these ap-
plications to the different parties, was communicated
'last night by Marquis WELLESLEY to the fiance
Moan; with whom it now remains to 'determine
who are to be the men to whom the future govern-
ment of the coutstiy is to be entrusted. We could
have wished, in the present very critical, state of pub-
lic affairs, that all 'differences between the Opposition
and Marquis WELLESLEY could have been accommo-
dated. But when we say this, we cannot refr3in
from stating, that it has all along been our opinion,
that the principles maintained by the former, both in
regard to Catholic Emancipatiou and the trosecution
of the war in the Peninsula, have appeared to us more
liberal and more consistent with the welfare of the
' country, than those of the latter. The Emancipation
proposed to be given the Catholics by the Marquis
WELLESLEY is of a limited kind : That which the
Opposition wish, would confer on them all the privi-
leges they are entitled to enjoy as free-born subjects
! of the Empire. Marquis WELLESLEY contends for an
enlargement of our scale of operations in Spain and
l'ortugal. The Opposition condemn the policy of this
war altogether.—Earl GREY, has no doubt,
complained of the feeble exertions wade by this
country in the Spanish cause. But this cannot be re-
garded as an approval of the contest on the part of
his Lordship. We have reprobated the parsimonious
manner in which supplies have been sent to the Penin.
sala, because, if we expect to do any real good
there, and can spare men and money, we ought to
. exert ourselves at once in such a way as must come
success,and not keep our army in a state which merely
enables it to act on the defensive. 'lt is with the utmost
anxiety that we look for the 'determination of the
Palsce REGENT at this awful moment. On this
hangs the fate of the country ; and should his
Royal Highness, with her destinies in his hand,, fail
to recolllcr his. ne'ver:to:be.forgotten declaration,
that he boldfr- the sceptre in trust' for the benefit of
the people, the Calamities which such: want of recol-
! lection:ntist entail 'on the kingdom, will assuredly
be all attributed; to the infatuation 'Of his Roya'
