LONDON, Ap 26.-Duriug the past wre,s tho mn.
gress IN filling up the Offices OF the abdicaed (ab;n..
Ministers, has been more slow and tarty than we an
pretended. This probably arises, not from tho
paucity Of eligible statesmen friendly 10 the now ~.

are iouo IN Their praises; while the leading Tory
papers particularly the Courier the Morning Post and

,hs reFed MINISTER'S who, far present appea,s
nave deserted their post and their Sovereign from
personal dislike TO the "man whom the Kpo de-

ing, when an explanstion wi be called for and no
douot Will be given. If contrary 10 all the IDEAS wa

attempted to forward his favourite measure by pres

Saae appear as a patpaole faet, vepronounoe tho
confidence of certainty; that his administration wi
not be OF two months duration. On the ot.e hand if
the Right Hon. Gentleman has pursued the straight
forward course ascribed TO him, and sdheres to it in
the selection of his coadju TORS we see nothing
that can inure him either the eyes his sovereign
or the estimation Of the nation.

OF those we announced, has been confirmed. The Ga

as necessary preliminary to his entering upon the

carrying on between Mr. Canning and the Marquis Of
tLandsdown, through the respectable medium of the
Duke of Deyosnhre and although nothing decisive has
TRANSFERRED the general opinion Isl that the noble Mar
gus will take Office. 1t is oleraby we'll ascertained
that in the early part Of the week, Mr. Piunket was
assigned the office OF Master of the Rolls, bat that sub
sequontly the appointment abandoned, and il is
now understood he is to be called up the House of
Peers without Office. MIR. Robinson and Chief JUS

the absence of official announcement runor assigns 70
The Duke Of Portland, Lord Privy Seal.
Lord Dudley and Ward Foreign Secretary
Duke of Devonshire, Lord Chamberlain
Duke of Lees. Master OF the Horse.
Whether this arrangement has any foundation in
tact, II is impossible for us TO say; would il be
wise to hazard further conjecture, in the course of
very few days the official notifications will be made
known. Parliament meets Tuesday, and then If
not before. the whole secret will be out
