STR--The assassination of Mr., Percival has led 10
dissolution Of his ministry, anI hope may lead to
an abandonment of his system, far We are con-
cerned
The vote, on motion of Mr. Stewart Wcrtley on
the 2lst, for address to the Prince Regent, 10
form more efficient administration, has driven the
old Ministers to their resignation The new ar
rangements entrusted to Lord Wellesley, but
nothing is yet effected.
Mr.. Canning appears to be associated with his
Lordship in this business, which | cannot consdera
circumstance very auspicious to us.
There will, undoubtedly be much difficulty in
forming the cabinets none Of the old Ministers
will act under Lord Wellesley, he having recent
~ refused to act under them Besides there is con-
siderable difference on essential points Of policy
The members OF opposition have a repugnance to
act under any leader taken from fher own ranks
and they certainly will not constitute part Of any
administration that does not adopt their system.
The probability therefore, is, that the Lord We'll
lesley and Mr.. Canning will not succeed in perform
ng the task imposed upon them, that they will
perform 1t so impcrfectly to expose their work
early destruction Whatever may be the ingrcd-
cnts OF which the new cabinet may be composed, |
am not altogether without hope thai the orders in
council will be modified if not removed The ef.
fects OF our embargo, the evidence before Parlia-
ment OF the distresses occasioned by those ORDERS
and the change of ministers itself, afford both cause
and color for this proceeding
this day send you copy as, without the circum-
stances just mentioned, 1t would, l am persuaded,
have been disregarded.
shall dismiss the Wasp as soon as the new Min
stry is formed before, unless that event happens
in a few days. She will return to Chcrbourg
With the greatest respect, am, &c.

Extract of a letter from Mr.. Russell to Mr. Monroe,
dated June Is, 1912.
The difficulty which has been encountered in for
ming the cabinet, has appeared to render it me-
cessary to support the old one and upon this ground
the House Of Commons appear to have acted last
evening. in giving to Ministers, on the second mo.
ton OF Mr.. Wor ley, majority Of 125.
Notwithstanding these naus picious circumstances
and all the prejudces Of the men now in place, re.
specting the United States, yet I know not how the
orders in council be maintained without the most
serious consequences both to this government and
country. II is impossible, in the face of the evil
dence before Parliament, To deny the vital import.
ance OF intercourse to this nation and obstinate
as the ministry is, do not entirely despair that il
will be forced from its system, or from power.
have some slender hope that the evidence may, even
on the motion of Mr.. BIougham on Tuesday next,
produce some change, although it hardly seems
probable that the ministers will allow the question
TO come on without the certainty Of triumph.
MR. RUSSELL TO Nm. MONROE.
JsoHIou, June 10, 1917
S1R-I hand you herein the Times Of yesterday,
containing the debate in the House Of Commons on
the preceding evening relative to the orders in
cl Prom this debate it appears that these
are to be abandoned, but yet efficient cxtinc-
ton has been announced The time already elapsed
since the declaration Of Lord Castleresgh, excitcs
suspicion that either the promised revocation will
not take place. or, what is more probable, some
other measures, equally unjust, is now under con.
sderation to replace those which TO be revoked
hope, until the doings here ascertained with
certainty and precision, there will be relaxation
on our part. With great respect. &c.
