THE MINISTRY.
London, yfprH 26.-During the past week, the
progress in filling up the Offices of the abdicat-
ed Cabinet Ministers has been more slow and
tardy than We unprecedented. This probably a.
rises, no, from the paucity of eligible statesmen
4 friendly TO the new arrangement, but from the
delicacy of Mr.. Canning's. situation, and the
difficulty Of adjusting the common principle on
which the new administration is to rest, namely
that the Catholic shall not be made a Cabinet
question. In the mean time, the new Premier
continues TO receive from the press and the
public, general support and almost unmixed
applause The metropolitan journals, known
as the advocates of Whiggsm,are loud in their
praises, while the leading Tory papers, partic.
ularly the Courier, the Morning Post, and New
Times, are no, less decided in supporting the
efforts, and eulogizing the character of the new
Minister In exact proportion to the public
patronage Mr.. Canning acquires, will be the
odium bestowed upon the retired Minister'S who
as far as III present appears, have deserted their
post and ,her Sovereign, from personal dis
like to The "man whom the King delighteth 10
| honour" TIE time however, is approaching,
wner an exploration will be called for, and no
IDEAS we have hitherto formed upon this subject
Mr.. Canning attempted 10 forward his favour
| lie measure, ay r.t sing upon his colleagues
departure e." ne rr:nciple that had govern
ed Lord LiycrPcol Cabinet, and his shall ap-
pear as !9apa5s fset, we pronounce, in the con-
hdcnce Of csa.siuiy, thar his administration will
not b. ofiwO months duration. On the other
hand, il tie N!gh, Hon. Gentleman has pursu'
ed the .tra 81 forward course ascribcd TO him,
and adhercs 10 it ID The selection Of his new CO.
adlutors, y, see nothing that can inJure him
either in the eyes Of his sovereign, or the estl-
NATION Of the nation.
We are not aware that single appointment
has been added 10 those we noticed last week,
though every one Of those we announced, has
been confirmed. The Gazette OF tuesday re-
cords The elevation {: Sir J. Copley to The peer
age, under the title Of Baron Lyndhurst, as
necessary preliminary 10 his entering upon the
Chanccllorship. The negotiation has been, and
is still Carrying Oh, between Mr. Canning and
the Marquis OF Landsdown, through the rcspec-
table medium Of the Duke or Devonshre, and
although nothing decisive lras transplred, the
general opinion is, that The noble Marquis will
take Office 1t is to!crably well ascertained,
that in the early part OF re week, 10 Mr.. Plum
kett was assigned the Office Of Master OF the
Rolls, but that subsequently, the appointment
was abandoned, and ii is now understood he is
to be called up 10 the House Of Peers without
Office MIR Robinson and Chief Justice Abbott
are also to be levaed 10 the Peerage. In the
absence of oftic al announcement, rumor as
signs to
The Duke of Portland, Lord Prvy Seal.
Lord Dudley and Ward, Foreign Secretary.
Duke Of Devonshire, Lord Chamberlain.

Whether this arrangement has any founda-
ton in fact ii is impossible for US TO say; nor
would i, be wise to hazard further conjecture,
as in the course of very few days the Official
notifications will be male known. Parliament
meets on Tuesday, and then, if not before, the
whole secret will be out.
