ores are certainly at,ainst its credibility. '[he in-
setriew of Lord GRENVILLE with his MAJESTY on Sa-
turday, is of act which remains unquestioned. That
the Noble Lord could possibly have held so long a con-

{creme on any other subject than a change of men or

measures, not a doubt can be entertained. The dif6-

(laity of collecting, at the present crisis, such a set of
own for the offices of flovernment as would be accepta-
ble at once to the Ktnu and to the People, may be suf-
itient to prove an insurmountable oustacle even to

the preliminaries of negociation. Yet, after all, the
change contemplated, may relate to measures rather
than to men ; and if the intelligence, which we some

days since communicated, has. as we believe, good
grounds, the change in view may have a reference to
measures of a severer character, than even those which
have been of late pursued. It was on this assumption

tint the report gained credit, retpecting the retire-
mentor Lords LITIMPOOL and Hasiaosrar, and Mr.

like Rums into the Cabinet, the Morning' Chronicle
of this day, declares, as if peculiarly called upon to
ampoueuu •
sist conditi?ns of their sequiescence, that if
•
they sisal ever consent to accept of office, they will
only do so on a clear understanding that they shall
conduct the aintirs of the country on such principles,
as may allow them to entertain a rational hope that
they may thereby restore energy to liovernment, and
popularity to the limo; and that they will, before-
hand, take care respectfully to make these principles
known to his MtJurre.

" Among the points on which it would be necessary
in hare a clean understanding, are" continues the
same journal " the necessity of an immediate and
general retrerchment of Expenditure.
" An inquiry into the abuses that hare crept into
" oar Financial Administration, our Commercial Sys-
" tem, oar Representation, and our Judicial Practice.

,S A distinct determination not to abet or counte-
u Rance the project of Foreign Potentates against the
" internal Reforms of Independent Nations.
u A Restitution of all Constitutional Privileges to
" Catholics sad other Dißsenters; and

" A distinct understanding, that, as the es post
"facto Bill of Pains and Penalties was thrown out to
" the universal joy of all men who reverence law, no
" attempt should be made to revive the proaecvtion in

" any shape.
" Unless these points at least are conceded, no
" Whig Ministers ought to accept of ofike."
Among the terms proposed, we lament to find not
enough advanced on the necessity of that which is by
the people at large considered an object of the Sest
!importance, Reform is Partiataent. Wlthstitt tt every
other means proposed fur the amelioration of the 00.111
try. will operate only as a temporary and delusive ex-
pedient. Whatever plan is short of this, we are con-
vinces!, can prove neither a beuefit—nur afford satis-
facile* to the people.

The Dean and Chapter of St. Paula, with Lord
SWasouth at their bead, were yesterday completely
out-generalied. la the aseangsatonm for receiving
her Majesty, it had been particularly stipulated by
the Rev. itobassader that seaside B4081181(4 61 used in
the interior, that.tho ladies shoals/ not be admitted to
attend the queen on her entrance, and that the doors
should be thrown open after her Majesty's arri-
val. The Committee bad, however, provided
themselves with the insignia of office, and no remon-
strance of the Worthy !Doctors could prevent their
using them. The Ladies of the CosnaionCouucil then
volunteered their services, and all the arganaasto of
the Doctor proved thus uoavailing; equally abortive
was the attempt of the .4;l4a:sr:dor to throw open the
door. The committee foreseeing that it would create
the greatest confusion and endanger the Cathedral,
refined to listen to the representation of the Doctor,
who retired not a little mortified to find every stipu-
lation he had made on the firstlid the Dean and Chap-
ter, to neglect her Majesty, completely frustrated by the
loyal sad independent conduct of the committee.
In the history of nations, in all the narrations of
'Malvin, is there ever deed so daring as the intended
possession of Naples by bauds of assas<ins, because she
has recovrrd her just rights ?—because. in anima

sentative government, with a King at his head, instal4
of an absolute monarcity—because she bas exchangs
