New BRITISH MINIsrRy.--The queftion
propofed in our lat, refpecfing the effect of this
change upon earjelveJ. is efficiently anfwered
by the following CoMMUNIcATIoN.--F From
this Ratement it appears, that on the lit of the
miniiters who are probably put into place, are
concentrated the mott inveterate foes TO our
government, to our commerce, and to republi-
can princi piles. 1t would be ridiculous, under
the fame circumstances, to expect as favourable
treaty from fuch a crew az Mr.. J. has already
deiervedly rejected.
The Dixie Of Portland ALWAYS acted in con-
cert with Edward Blu ke.-They were both
wings till they took alarm at the progrefs of the
French revoution.-From that time, thew
joined PITT, and the Duke of Portland was in
administration feme years, as PRECEDENT of the
Council.
Charles 7rorke Il believe he mult he the man
meant by Mr.. York; is relation of the Hard
wicke family: All of them firm Importers of
the Church and King fyftem.
Canning is young lriihnian of very great
oratoricaI ahii,ies-faid to be educated by a
club of Sheridan and his friends. When ready
TO make his debut on the theatre of politics,
his friends coud do nothing for him They
therefore recommended him to try his fortune
on the Pitt lide of politics. He anfvered If he
did, they auft not expect him to defert Pitt,
TO return to their party, as he was determined
to be con6fent in his public charatter-'I' hus
far ne has kept his word-Another account of
Canning hates his hrf acquaintance with Pitt
TO be shat Pitt accidentally wentinto a de-
batiHg fociety and heard him fpeak-and was
70 pleafed with his eoquence, that he became
acquainted with him, procured him feat in
Parliament and made his fortunc.-At all e-ents
his birth was ohfcsre and he owes his political
confequence to Pitt and acts as his pupil
Not one of the lit has ranked in Fox's party
fnce 90 FIR Fickary Gi655 excepted. He was
fecond council 20 Erfkine on the trials of Hardy,
Horne Tookc and others for fedition on the
part of the prifoners, but was foon after made
kings council and turned Pittite.
Mr. PeTeiUal' is the member of the Britifl
Parliament, who fpoke 70 much againft max
ing connections to America, in fome debates
lately puhIifhed.
None of the new mninry, except the Duke
of Portland, oppofrd the administration of
Lord North on the futje6 of the american
revolution. Lord Melville and MIR. Rofe were
at that time working their way up through the
drudgery of inferior Offices u1dcr North. All
the RET are young men compared with that
time-the whole lit are politicians of the old
fchoo, ultimately oppofed to republicans and
dihenters-and in my opinion there is no hope
uf our obtaining 70 good terms from them as
have already been agreed to by the late minil-
try.
Our only hope as E~nericans is, that The adj
miniitration may be ort-lived.-All my re-
naming affections for England join in the with
1t wants both character and abilities, to fup.
port it for any length of time.
Lord Melville, Mr.. Rofe and Mr.. Long are
men OF bufnefs, but not of bigb character
Lord Eidon, to great profelIional Talents, nnites
2 character above fufpicion. He Isl Ptti.e
from principle-but AS he is brother to Sir vii.
liam Scott, judge Of the Admiralty court, neu-
trails have redron to hope that his vote will be
given ON the fide Of relaxing the rules of 1856 /;
believe the opinion of the two brothers agrees
on that point. They have rifen together. their
father was coalfitter at Newcaale upon TYNE,
bufnefs of equal grade with fhip- broker.
Another hope that the new administration
will he of mort life is, that all the Prince of
Wales's friends are excluded. The King can
not live long, and the prince az foon as he
comes to power will remove every name. with
him E'ikine is before Eldon, and at leaf equal
IN every other performs ehimation.
