FOREIGN NEWS,
(London dates to the 18th Of January have been r.
ceiyed at New-York

London dates to the 18th Of January have been re-
ceiyed at New-York.]
1t appears that the late rumours of an
intended change in the British Cabinet
were correct.-Lord Godericb had re-
signed his Premiership, and new Minis
try had actually been named, or would be
in day or two. The London Morning
Herald, of January 10, publishes the fol-
lowing list of the new Ministers:
First Lord of the Treasury, Earl Grey );
Chancellor of Exchequer, Mr. Peel: Sec.
of State Cor Home Depart't, Mr. F. Davis !:
do. for Foreign Affairs, Sir Oh. Stuart, or
the Marquis of Wellesley Sec. for the
Colonies, Lord Bathurst Master of Ord
nance, Duke of Wellington Pres. of
Council, Earl of SALISBURY Privy Seal,
Marquis of Londonderry Treas of the
Navy, Mr.. Dawson; Chancellor, Lord
Lyndhurst Chancellor of the Duchy of
Lancaster, Lord Bexley; Master of the
Mint, Mr.. William Horton.
If such is the change to be made, we
argue the worst consequences. The lib
eral system of Mr.. Canning is to be
abandoned, and the ultra tories are to be
brought into power, under the immediate
auspices of the Duke of Wellington for
the London papers expressly declare that
the Duke was especially sent or by the
King, and that the new ministry is TO be
formed agreeably to the Dukes views.
The standard says, there S but little
doubt that Mr. Peel will succeed Lord
Goderich, as the head of the Ministry.
The King continued to be in good
health on the 18th.
William Goblet has addressed long
egotistical letter to the King Of England,
offering himself in earnest as Prime Min
lister, in the place of Lord Goderich. He
tells his Majesty that he is the only per-
son in the British realm that S fit for the
station, and that can save The country
| from ruin.
AFFAIRS OF THE EAST. According to
intelligence of the 18th Jan. from Bucha-

were left at Constantinople, have embark

in the interior of the empire are in active
motion.-The imperial government, it

wards the Allies.
A letter from Syra of Dec. ID, says
that Ibrahim appeared to have decided on
returning with his troops to Egypt.

DOMESTIC NEWS.

MEssRs. MADISON AND MONROE. It is known
that both these gentlemen were nominated BY the
late Anti-Jackson convention in Virginia, to be
Electors of President for that State. Rumour has
been busy and the reports, as to whether they had
accepted the nomination or not, have been various.
1t has also been asserted by some of the friends of
MIR. Adams that they had avowed their predi-
iections for him; and on the other hand Gen. Jack
sons adherents have claimed the Ex-Presidents for
their hero But nowthe gentlemen speak for them
selves The following are their letters to the Pre-
sident of the Convention =
Montpelier, Feb %, 1928.
Dear Sir-The mail of last evening
brought me your circular communication.
Dy which am informed of my being no
minated by the Convention at Richmond.
on the Sth January, one of the Electors
recommended for the next appointment of
Chief Magistrate of the United States.
Whist | express the great respect
feel to be due to my fellow citizens COM
posing that assembly, must request that
another name be substituted for mine, on
their Electoral Ticket.
After a continuance in public life, with
very brief interval, through period of
-,.sy Juufs 5, anu riie aye rIIeii
attained, considered myself as violating
no duty, in alloting for what of life might
remain a retirement from scenes of politi-
cal agitation and excitement. Adhering
to this view of my situation, have for
borne, during the existing contest, as
had done during the preceding, to parti-
cipate in any measuree of party charac-
ter; and the restraint imposed on myself
is necessarily strengthened by an admo-
nishing sense of increasing years. Nor
with these considerations could | fail to
combine recollection of the public rela-
tons in which | stood, to the Distinguish
ed individuals now dividing the favour Of
their country, and the proofs given to both
of the high estimation in which they were
held by me.
In offering this explanation, I hope
may be pardoned for not suppressing a
wish which must be deeply and extensive
ly felt, that the discussions incident to the
depending contest, may be conducted in
spirit and manner, neither unfavourable
to dispassionate result, nor unworthy of
the great and advancing cause of Repre-
sentative Government. With great es-
TEEN and respect, JAMES MADISON.

Oak-IFil, Feb. %, 1928.
Dear SRI have, by this days mail,
received your letter, announcing my no
mination, by the Convention lately as
sembled in Richmond, as an Elector, at
the ensuing election, in favour of the dis
tinguished citizen whom they designate,
as President of the United States. For
reasons which | hope will be satisfactory
to you, to the members of that body, and
to my GoIle e:4;=ons generally and which
| will frankly communicate, l consider it
a duty to decline the trust in question.
After the long and laborious service in
which | have been engaged, and in the
most difficult conjunctures to which our
country has been exposed, it is my earn
est desire to cherish tranquility in my re-
tirement. Important as this object is to
me, | am satisfied, if | become party to
elections to the high office of Chief Ma
gistrate of the United States, that | can
not accomplish it. In the pending cleo
ton, | have motives of a personal nature,
which would make it particularly painful
to me to interpose. Having held, in the
office from which | have lately retired,
very friendly relation with both the can
didates, giving to each strong proofs of
confidence and regard, it would be very
repugnant to my feelings to take the part
of either against the other.
Other considerations drew my attention
at an early period to this subject, and con-
6rmed me in the decision. As perma-
nent rule, was led to conclude that it
would be better for our country, and con-
tribute more to the success of our excel
! lent system of government, that those who
have held the office OF chief magistrate,
should abstain in their retirement from
becoming partisans in subsequent cleo
tions to that office. Instances may &C.
cur, in the course of time, and in the VI
cissitudes of human affairs, in which the
opinion of those who have had long ex-
perience, may be useful. Every govern
ment that has existed has been exposed to
trying emergencies. All those which were
strictly republican have been subyerted.
Ours will, | trust, experience better
fate. Should an emergency of any kind
ever occur, it may be important that there
should be among the people some men un-
connected with either of the contending
parties, and among them those who have
retired from that high Office, whose voice
might be heard. To render service, they
must enjoy, in like degree, the confidence
of the whole community in their disinter-
estedness and impartiality. If they en-
bark as partisans on either side, they
would have no weight with the other. BY
remaining neutral it might be otherwise.
On full consideration, before my re-
tirement, concluded that the course sug-
gested would be best adapted to my own
peace and tranquility, and contribute
most as permanent rule to the welfare of
my country. Under this conviction, l
then formed the decision stated, have fire.
quently declared it since, and cannot de-
part from it. With great respect, am
your obed't serv't, JAMES MONROE.
