LATE AND IMPoR RTANT
FROM EUROPE.


We yesterday had most abundant
supply Of European packets, (for Sun
day. viz the ship York, Liverpool Pack
ct of the 9th Oct. which sailed on the
Cd Nov. the Caledonia, Liverpool Pack
ct OF the 10Th. which sailed on the 18th;
the Hudson, London Packet ofthc 18th,
which sailed from Portsmouth on the
23d and the Charlemagnc, Havre Pack
ct of the Goth. by these arrivals Lon
don papers are received to Nov. 22d.
Liverpool and Paris dates to the Goth.
The most important items of intelligence
are the CHANGE IN THE BRIT
ISH MINISTRY, and the fact, now
ascertained, that the interference in the
affairs of Belgium spoken ofin the Kings
Speech, is allowed to be altogether pa
cfic.
In the House Of Commons on 18th of
November, upon the motion for the APP
pointment of GA Select Committee 10
take into consideration the accounts pre-
sented by order of his Majesty, relating
to the Civil List" The vote stood, for
the Ministers COG, against them 235,
showing ma joritv against the Cabinet
of treniy nine. The opposition papers
state that all the regular and staunch sup
portcrs ofthc Treasury were in their pa-
ces, while many of the neutrals were alb
sent. In consequence of this strong OPP
position to the Ministry, Lord Yelling
ton, in the House of Lords, and Sir Rob
ert Peel, in the House of Commons, the
next day (16th Nov. announced that his
Majesty's Ministers, had resigned, and
that their resignation was accepted by
the King; they would however, still con-
tinue in office, but only as long as it was
necessary for the King to form a new
Cabinet.
The London Chronicle of 18th Nov.
says eve have good authority for stating
that after the sudden but not unexpected
resignation of the Ministers yesterday,
arrangements were instantly taken for
the formation of new Cabinet.
1t may not be inappropriate in this
place to take as comprehensive view,
as our time and limits will at present per-
NIT, of the panic in London-for panic
there was-and of the immediate causes
which led to the resignation ofthe Wei
lington Cabinet:
After the Kings speech was delivered
on Cd Nov. (Which we published on 22d
inst. from French copy received by the
De Rham, tour English papers by the
Caledonia do not reach so far back an
animated debate took place in the House
of Lords, only part of which is in the
files before us-it appears that speaking
on this subject, the Duke of Wellington
said that the king had no intimaton, nor
was it the intention of any foreign power
whatever, to interfere by means of arms
with the affairs Of the Netherlands, but
it was the desire of England and every
other party concerned to settle, if posi-
bic, every point by means ofnegociation
and by ncgociation alone. This dec
laration was well received. On the sub
icct of the repeal of the union, he said il
was objected To, on the strongest terms by
all his noble friends in lrcland-by all
the proprietors in that country-by u
great majority ofthe Roman Catholics
and by nearly all the Protestants of Ire
land; and it was opposed by the unani-
nous voice of both houses of Parliament
or at least with only one exception
This was also well received. The Dub
lin Evening Post is opposed to Mr.. o.
ConnelPs plan of the dissolution of the
Union. We find the London Times a
strong advocate on the same side. II
