"a 7 ord Dudley and Ward, 10 bear the pri-
coal The Duke Of Buckingham and Mr..
prougb,m are, il is said, to be introduced into
the Cabinet.
These concerted designations d~evelope the
,,,ure and extent Of that opposition to Mr..
Canning which has been slightly referred to in
he papers, but which was only vaguely repre-
..r,,d. because little understood. II has pro-
o.sded from the ultra church and tory party,
,ri,ed in its interests, organized IN its strength,
firm in its purpose, and consequently formida'
Ne in its operations. Mr.. C's appointment,
under such circumstances, was rather to have
been hoped than looked for, and the result is
-, uneouiyical triumph Of his personal inau-
.r,e and his political views. IL has been sta
tod ,ba, the King INDUCED preference for a
III, rent individual; but it is now obvious that
s,cb was not the case, and that nothing less
than The royal favor, largely extended and firm
, /, maintained, could have led to movements so
highly important.
The Catholics Of Ireland may now renew
their applications for relief, with better hopes
&c success. With a cabinet selected by MIR.
Canning, and himself at its head, there is every
yrason to believe that their claim, SO just in
themselves, and so long and wrongfully post
noped, will be accorded at last.
In the House Of Commons, Mr.. Wynn moved
that a new writ Of election be issued for the DO
rough Of Newport, in the room OF the Right
Hon. G.. Canning, who had accepted the Chief
Commisslouership Of his Majesty's Treasury.
Great cheering from all parts Of the House Mr..
WYNN then moved an adjournment to the LIST Of
Of MAY, in order to afford time to MIR. Canning
10 frame his new cabinet. Mr.. Tierney object.
cd TO so long a term.
Mr.. Wynn said a fortnight was usual; but
for the formation Of a new administration: he
should propose that the house at its present
rising adjourn to May /. Mr.. Tierney said,
there had been sufficient time for the formation
ola new Ministry; and now, when the country
was full of rumours, a longer period was not
wanted. He understood that seven of the cab
inc, Ministers had run away, and when they
would return no one appeared to know.
Mr.. Tierney did not press his opposition,
and the motion was carried without a division.
The London Free Press Of the 18th Of April
say,-,here is little foreign intelligence. The
elevation Of Mr.. Canning will be d terrible blow
10 the apostolicals and absolutists of the CONT
nent. We scarcely think they will venture to
make any head against the moral and united
force that will be arrayed on the side Of consti-
tutional liberty.
The changes in the Cabinet have caused ma
ny conflicting opinions among the London Jour-
nalists. The Times says, 1--WE believe there will
be great difficulty in preventing some public
expression Of Joy on the retirement OF the Chan
cellor. An illumination is limited at"
We shall annex some of the most interesting
articles from the leading journals.
On the 18th the new Cabinet was not form
ed. Various conjectures were a foot, and the
merits of every man canvassed, but nothing de-
finite seems to be known.
The Corn Law, was read a third time and
passed in the house Of Commons, on the 18th
of April. 1T is stated in Nicholson's London
Price Current, that an important alteration had
been made in the bill, by which no corn could
be imported from foreign countries not on the
reciprocity system with Great Britain, except
in British ships. The corn countries which
this will affect, are France, Russia, Holland and
Italy
The latest London papers are entirely silent
upon the subject of the contest lately waged, II
not yet waging, for the Constitution. The
whole array has disappeared; and from these
papers one cannot tell whether either cons'itu-
,ional or rebel force is in existence. The Bri-
fish troops are stationary. The Portuguese
Chambers had rendered themselves very popu-
lar by som Of their late acts. The most I'm
por,ant news from Madrid is, that the pious
King of Spain, according to custom, on the
oath Of March washed the feet OF a few poor
people, and waited on :hem at their rePast, IN
presence of all the g~randees who happened TO
be in the capital.
