LATEST FROM EUROPE.
The ships Charles Drew and Alciope,
at Boston from Liverpool, bring London
papers to the 29th and Liverpool TO the Both
May. From the Boston papers aud the
proofslps of our New York correspond
ents, we extract the following intelligence.
Itappears that the changes IN the British
Ministry, of which there were various ru.
mors at our last advices, have actually
taken place, and, as Is very natural, ere
ated considerable excitement IN London.
Mr.. Huskisson, Mr. w. Lamb, and Lord
Palmerston, HAVE RESIGNED. Mr.. Chas.
Grant, who has rendered his resignation,
persisted in it. Earl Dudley also adheres
to his determination to resign.
The Ministry which was constructed on
the ruins ofthe Gaining Cabinet, is broken
to pieces; and the Duke of Wellington has
again to commence the laborIous task OF
constructing a new cabinet, almost without
materials ToryIsm Is at low ebb. The
liberal part of the Cabinet have retired. A
Tory Cabinet is however. to be attempted;
but it cannot endure-it will possess no
talent-and talent never was more neces-
sary. 1t will have no sufficient leader IN
the House of Commons. Thepublic con-
ceiye that such a Ministry cannot stand
against Opposition, and dissolution Of
Parliament IS spoken Of The hberalist
would have a decided majority in a new
house.
Mr.. Peel, Mr.. Heucs, and Mr.. Goul-
born, will remain in the Ministry.
The London Courier of the last date
states that the place Of Mr.. Husksson, as
Colonial Secretary, Is to be filled by Sir
George Murray. This gentleman filled
the post of Quarter Master General under
the Duke of Wellington, and was after
wards Commander In Chief in Ireland.
The Earl of Dudley had resigned the seals
Of the Foreign Department. The Courier
acknowledges the difficulty Of filling the
place Of a minister who has inspired such
respect in foreign courts by his talents, 81
concilated all foreign ministers at our
court by the elegance Of his manners, and
the openness aud straight forwardness OF
his intercourse with them, and adds, that
the successor IS unknown The Courier
afirms with great confidence, that the
changes will produce no change in the sys-
tenn of domestic or foreign polcy-says
that Sir Henry HardInage, and the Right
Honorable Mr. Fitzgerald, have been nam
ed as the Successors TO Lord Palmerston,
as Paymaster of the Army, but that moth
ing positive was known as to this appoint
ment, Mr.. +. being absent in Ireland.
Mr. Charles Grants successor was not
known, nor was that Of Mr.. William Lamb,
as Chief Secretary of Ireland. 4 council
ofthe present ministers assembled on the
2Sth, consisting ofthe Duke of Wellington,
Earls Barthurst and Aberdeen, Lord Mel
vile, Lord Lyndhurst, Mr.. Peel, Mr..
Gouldbourn, and Mr.. Herries.
The Courier attributes the resignation
Of Mr.. Huskisson and Lord Palmerston.
to the vote which they felt bound to give,
in opposition to Mr.. Peel, we suppose on
the East Retford Election bill Mr.. EIus-
kIsson after giving his vote, thought it ne
cessary to write to the Duke of Wellington,
stating that having conceived himself
obliged to vote against Mr. Peel, he was
ready to tender his resignation, ifhis grace
thought proper. No idea of Mr. H's re-
signation would have been entertained by
the Duke, the Courier says, if the letter
had not been written; but it having been
written he did not feel himself bouDd 10 So
hct him to remain. The other resigna-
tons appear to have been in consequence
Of these two.
Parliament Is expected to sit til July.
It's thought the Budget cannot be brought
forward I'LL June.
The people in London, are much agitat-
ed by the crumbling of the Administration.
The King gave a Grand Ball on the
night Of the 18th May. It seems to be
limited that he discovers an indifference 10
