objections to Lord Grenvlle. who SAYS his
health is bad, his Lordship is nut to be

but as his friends viii not come in unless
he is in the Cabinet, he will. therefore,
accept the place Of the President of the
Council.
In compliment to Lord Granville for wa

pointment, declining to be First Lord of the
Treasury on the pretence of a desire to "a

STATE OF THE ADMINISTRATION
The want of full powers in the negotiator:
is the cause OF the delay which has taken
place iii the formation of new Gov rnment
On this subject, the Morning Chronicle OF
yesterday says
| 1t has been said. and confidently re-
peated that Opposition have rejected the
proposition made TO them by Lord Welles-
ley. The truth is directly the REVERSE
Lord Liverpool, and his Colleagues, did,
indeed, most unequivocally, and we must
say, hippantiy, considering who they are,
reject the proposals made to them by the
noble Marquis for coalition with him on
public principles. But the answer of Oppo-

that the fault is not to be imputed either
to the Noble Marquis (Wellesley), or to
Mr.. Canning or to Lords Grey and Gren-

any OF the distinguished characters whom
he has sent for to Carlton House within

vote of the Honse of Commons. Until his
Royal Eighness shall be pleased to follow
this old constitutional course, and select
some person whom he may dee n worthy of

hmtely to form such an Administration, or
to present to his Royal Highness the plan IF
