LONDON, l4afch 20.
We have seldom had to announce more
important intelligence than we have To-day,
both foreign and domestic.
The duke of York has resigned. On
Saturday morning his r. Highness went to
Windsor, and rendered to his royal father
his resignation. 1t is said to have been ten
dered in-the form of letter to his majesty,
containing the reasons which had directed
his royal highness to take this step, and to
. take IT at the present moment. His majesty
was graciousy pleased to accePthls resigna-
ton, and the earl Of Chatham, or as others.
say, sir David Dundas, isappointed to sue
teed him. But this arrangement |e trust,
will soon give wayto . measure BY which
the army shall+be managed by Board, as
the navy has beenwith so much advantage
to the public service.
We rejoice sincerely IN this event, which
indeed may beeonsidered as a great triumph
gained by the constitution Of the country.
The duke Of York has taken very proper
and iudicious course, .and no further pro-
ceedings we should suppose at least we
should hope, will take place in the house Of
Commons.
