Ieannot consider as circumstance very

There will, undoubtedly, be much diff
Guilty in forming the new cabinet none OF
the old ministers will act under lord Wei
lesley, he having recently refused TO &C,
under them. Besides there is considcra
bic difference on essential points of policy.
The members OF opposition have q rep,ig-
nance to act under any leader not taken
from their own ranks, and they certainly
will not constitute part of anr atmi,
nistration that does not adopt their sys-
tenn.
The probability, therefore, is, that either
lord Wellesley and M,. Canning will no,
succcedi in performing tiie task imposed up
on them, or that they vii! perform il SO i'm
perfectly as 10 expose their work TO carly
destruction.
Whatever may be the ingredients Of
which the new cabinet may be composed,
I am not altogether without hope that ths
orders in council will be modified if no, re-
moved. The effects of our embargo, the
evidence before parliament Of The distress
ses occasioued by those orders, and the
change of ministers itself, afford both cause
and color for this proceeding.
l say nothing of the French decree, OF
which this day send you copy, as, with
out the circumstances Just mentioned, il
would, l am persuaded, have been disre-
garded.
l shall dismiss the Wasp as soon as the
new ministry is formed ar before, unless
that event happens III few days. She will
return to Cherbourg.

From this debate II appears that thes,

no efficient extinction has been announced
