II will be seen that another derange-

difficulties and discussions between Nlr:
Littleton, the Secretary for Ireland, and
Mr.. O'Conncll, appear to have 'ea 70
this important occurrence. LORD me'-
bourne, the former Home Secretary, mas
been enioined by the King to form
now Cabinet, of which he will therefore
become the head, and Lord Althorp, inc
Chancellor of the Eychcquer, has con-

fec under him, although il was his resig-
nation which induced that OF Earl Grey.
Il A Liverpool paper of the 10th OF July,
speaks of the dissolution, and the cause
| of il, thus:--
/ "The affairs Of the Grey Administra-
ton have at length been brought to II
crisis, the rock on which it has split, ha-
wing been, as was fully expected, tho
unhappy and unmanngeable country on
the ether side of the channel. Instead,
however, of the coach having been up
set by Lord John Russell, the stumbling
block that proved fatal to tho rickeity
machine, was the bundcring oflicious-
ness of Mr.. Lillcton. Lord AlthorP,
not contc nj with the satisfaction given by
that gentleman to Mr.. O'Connell, in h's
retirement from office, and having the

was known TO have privately objected,
and accordingly quilted his post; whilst

in the other house, has also given up
X The latest intelligence on the subject
is communicated in slip from Winners
newspaper Office, dated Liverpool, July
Ii 10Th, & D. m. Ii is rs lOlows:-
The arrangements Of the new Minis
try may be said to be completed. The
! changes will be few. Lord Mclbourne's
removal from the Home office will, il is
said, make room for Lord Duncannon--
who will hold the situation hitherto held
/ by the Premier. 1t is also rumorcd that
Lord Durham ia going to Ireland in the
capacity of Lord Lieutenant, and Mr..
i Tcnnyso son has been named his Secreta-
! ry:
/ The new arrangements are said to be
very annoying to Lord l}rougham, who
| is stated to have resigned the Seals and
gone down to Windsor, to have on nu-
diencc with the King. The general
impression is, that the nrw Cabinet is
not composed of materials Of an enduring
quality. a Cabinet Council was held
last night Lord Melbourne Immediate
ly proceeded 10 Windsor to wait upon
His Majesty. The Funds remain stca-
dy.
The London Times of the 10th, holds
the following langnage:-
4 Z" Lord Melbourne has been cnjoincd
by the King to form a new ministry, not
on the coalition principle, that is to sny,
with any ndmiXture Of Conservatives
1t is also asceriained that Viscount Mel
bourne felt strongly the pressure Of the
partiality shown by large number Of
persons in the House of Commons, for
Lord Althorp, as to yield to the cxpedi-
ency represented by them, Of securing
the continuance Of the late Chancellor of
the Exchcquer in the cabinet; and that
Lord Aithorp has declared himself will
ling to revoke his resignation, Of the pre-
ceding week, the effect Of which resig-
nation, therefore, has been nothing more
nor less than this--that Lord Althorp
has irrevocally deprived the Government
of Earl Grey as its chief, without reliev-
ing it from himself-ns docr Of no busi-
mss in the House of Commons. The
| present "re-constrnction" of The Cabinet
will amount, we fear, to something like
an aogravation Of the former one, exhib-
iting merely another subtraction from ii
in the person of Earl Gray"
4 MIR. Cobbett gives the following ac-
count Of the cause Of the late Cabinets
decease :-"The news that has met me
to-day has not at al! surprised me. al
ways said, that il Lord Althorp were TO
quit his place, Lord Grey could not re-
! man in his an hour. He was the soul
of the concern, and he has appeared to
me to have been weary of the concern
for long time. The excuse for the
breaking up Of the Ministry is a mere
excuse. 1t is no one thing that has bro
ken them up it is the mass Of difficult
ties; that mass, however, greatly added
to by the mixture of laudanum and bran.
