Probable state Of Parties on the oheuin.s of
Parliament.
So much has been lately said upon the
state OF the cabinet. that it appears unne-
ccssary and impossible to add any thing far

vernment, or what is the same thing amongst
US, OF administration, depend so entirely up.
on the relative strength of the different par
ties in Parliament, that this subject cannot
be too clearly explained. It is not often
that our history presents the spec;acles of
parties SO equally balanced. For q long Sc
ries OF years, the minority has been con-
tempuble, and the treasury has had little
difficulty to support itself on it's. own feet
This order of things is now changed-Even

hitherto fast interest and connections of go.

variation OF the political wind this interest
and these connections are now divided a.

feet OF the king, and Lord Castlereagh has

| In the ensuing meeting of arliament four
parties Will not fail to show themselves, and
eacii of them, from the late events, will
possess strength and influence, which did
not hitherto belong to them, and which no
thing could have given, but the distractions
OF the Cabinet and the indignant neutrality
of the people. ..

Marquis Wellesley, and marshalled and

led, will now present a new spectacle
From very natural feeling, every prior
minister has been reluctant in obtruding on
the public eye his own peculiar force, the
household and treasury body He has ac
cordingly, generally contrived SO to mix them
with auxiliaries, and mercenares, and his
own immediate personal. dependents and
connections, that the grossncss and proni-
nencc Of their characteristic distinction, has
been lost in the crowd and though every one
knew that the. greater part of his efficient
army consisted OF these household troops, no
one could point them out in groupes and bo
dies. Under Mr.. Perceval, the country will
now have new spectacle. Since his sepa-
ration from MIR. Canning, he has been de-,
serted by almost all except these retainers
OF the treasury. He is left entirely to the
house bold body guard. In his very first di.

With the single exception of the MARQUIS.

The second party---and which of itself
will be nearly sufficient to overwhelm the
ministry. is that of lords Grey. and Grenville

OF that small remnant who remain attached
to certain principles which they consider
as having belonged to MIR. Fox. Their
number in the house Of commons, may be
about thirty five Lord Grenville has a
much more commanding party. The per-
