The packet ship Sally, Capt. Macy, arrived
yesterday from Havrc, having sailed thence on
the morning of the nth of January. The packet
ship Edward Quesnel, for this port, sailed in COM
pany.
Paris papers to the 18th January are received
by this arrival, containing London dates to the
12ul. The most interesting intelligence they furnish,
IS that oil the dissolution of the British Ministry
by the resignation OF Lord Goderich, and Mr.. Hus-
kisson, which is stated to have taken place on the
9Th.
The London Times. of the 10th, says
At this moment the mere mention OF the Min.
istry is the attacking dreadful subject a subject
Which changes its aspect every moment, and al
though that which is done cannot be unaone, tina [
which is at present passing may undergo more
changes than have ever taken place. The Duke
OF Wellington and the Lord Chancellor went to
- indsor yesterday. 1t is known that Lord Code
rich was there the day before. We believe that
the relations of Lord Goderich, particularly his
Brother, who for some time has endeavored 10
sustain and encourage him, being at last convinc-
ed of his weakness, advised his resignation. His
lordship saw the necessity of rendering it with
the utmost promptitude, in consequence of the
existing dissensions in the cabinet A contest
arose between Mr.. Huskisson and Mr.. Herres-
The former as chief of the ministerial party in the
House of Commons, wished Lord Althorp to be NOM
mated president of the Finance committee. Mr..
Herries not having been consulted, opposed the
nomination and other projects of which we shall
shortly speak. Lord Godereh waited on his ma
ements OF discopd which existed in the Cabinet,
and that in fact the ministry was dissolved. His
majesty, although very i'll, received his Lortlshp
10 an audience, saying, g since Mr. Huskisson
resigns, there is no longer any government" Mr..
Huskisson assured, had prepared project
of finance and economy which he believed ne
cessary for The safety of the country. This plan
displeased MIR. Herries, and at length, Mr.. Hus-
kisson declared that he or Mr.. Herries must leave
the Cabinet
The other London papers of the 1I:h, contradict
the above statement Of the Times. The Courier
remarks, that the only difference between Mr.. Hus-
ksson and Mr. Herries, was applied to the udi-
viduai whom it be advisable 10 place at the head
Of the Finance Committee.
No arrangements for Cabinet had vet
ben announced. The King had proposed to the
Duke OF Wellington to form new administration
II was supposed that he would name Mr. Peel as
hurst, and Mr.. Herries, would remain in the Cab
met Lord Melville was spoken OF as Colonial
Secretary.
Letters from Petersburg, of oath December
state that, after the arrival there of the OF
the departure of the allied ambassadors from Con-
stantnople the Russian Cabinet expedited couri-
ers TO all the courts of France and England, to re-
new the assurance that Russia still holds herself
bound by the treaty of 9th July, and that her army
wouldkonly act in conformity with the wishes OF
the allies. A letter from Vienna, confirms these
details, and adds, intelligence was received that
Russia medated no aggression, and would only
act in the affairs of the East in conformity with the
wishes OF the allies.
Letters from Constantinople, of 18th December,
represent the Turks continuing vigorous pre-
parations for defence. 700 iron cannon have been
transported to the Dardanelles. In the capital and
in the provinces the chiefs convened, exhort-
cd, and the mark Of military rank in case OF war,
is put on.
Itappears that when the allied ambassadors had
already embarked for their departure, and after
the anchors were weighed, the Porte changed its
determination on the subject of granting them
passports, and sent them firnans in a cutter which
overlook them near the Dardanelles.
An account from Trieste of Jan. 1. states, as re-
port, that the Allied commanders had proposed 10
the Pacha of Egypt, to transport his troops 10 Al
exandria--and that the Pacha would probably ac-
cept the proposal.
Brussels papers mention that ninety houses have
been destroyed by fire at Burtezorg.
Mr. Augustin Perier, ir was about marrying
the daughter of Mr.. George La Fayette.
