The appointment Of Mr. Canning TO the OF
fee of FIRST Lord ofthe Treasury has met WIN
the general appreciation OF the country. This
event, for which the public mind had been
prepared before i was announced, has however,
produced one of The most extraordinary and
unexpected cabinet revolutions that has ever
taken place in the political world he sp

the premiership WAS the signal for seven of his
colleagues 10 send in their designations TO his
Majesty. The names Of the Ministers who
have struck, as their act has been significantly
and emphatcally designated, are given in ano-
ther part of the parer. The only resignation
for which the country viii feel regret, IL that of

Mr.. Canning possesses the entire confidence
of Ills Majesty, and unlimited power for the
composition of an administration on any princi-
pies which seem to him best suited to the cir
'cumstances of the country.
