IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE.


IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE.
Resignation Of the Pee! Ministay.
The ship Liberty, Capt. Norton, ar.
aiyed at New York on the 18th inst,
from Liverpool, bringing papers to De.
cember 18th from that city, and to the
evening Of the 10Th from London.
BY the following extract from the
London Sun it will be seen that Sir
Robert PeePs Ministry had resigned
en- mdsse, and that instructions had been
given to Lord John Russell to form a
new Ministry. The latter recently de.
clared himself, in public manner. a.
gainst the Corn Laws. Upon this rock
the Peel Ministry split. Lord Palmer
ston, it was supposed, would be the
new Secretary for Foreign affairs. In
short, the Ministry will be thoroughly
Whig.
Cotton had rallied one-eighth; bread
stuffs rather declining.
The Parliament was further prorogu'
ed to the 3o.h Of December.
From the London Sun, Dec. IL.
RESIGNATION OF THE MINISTRY,
Immediately upon the refusal Of the
Duke of Wellington, on Friday last, to
carry out what he had agreed to do
namely, TO propose q repeal Of the corn
laws in the House Of Lords-it be.
came apparent that resignation Of of:
iicc by SIR Robert Peel must follow.
Lord John Russell was recommended
to be sent for, and a messenger was
despatched on Saturday last TO com.
mand his attendance at Osborne House.
His arrival there was expected yester-
day, and Sir Robert Peel expected to
have met him. Sir Robert, however,
returned last night without having seen
Lord John. This morning Lord John
Russell and Sir Robert Peel had an in
terview Of an hours duration, after
which Lord John Russell left town for
Cowes. He had an audience Of her
Majesty, and has returned TO town this
evening, having had full powers given
him TO form government. He has
sent for Lord Palmerston, and is tak>
ing, it is believed, all the necessary
steps to form an A administration.
Lord John Russell having undertak.
en- the task Of forming new admins.
tration, is proceeding with all despatch
IN making his arrangements.
Lord Palmerston has been sent for,
and will quickly arrive in London. To
him the Foreign Office will be confided.
Lord Normandy, in all probability,
takes the Home Office.
Lord Grey the Colonial Office.
Mr.. Barring receives the Chancellor.
ship Of the Exchequer.
Lord Morpeth may possibly go TO
Ireland, where his popularity would
render him an admirable Lord Lieu.
tenant.
Lord Cottenham resumes the Chan.
cellorship Of England.
Lord Campbell the Chancellorship Of
Ireland.
Sir Thomas Wilde and Mr.. Jervis
will be Attorney and Solicitor Generals.
Lord Mimic takes the Admiralty.
Sir John Hobhouse, Mr.. Charles Bul.
Ter. Mr.. Hawes. Sir George Grey, and
Mr.. Tuinell, will form parts Of the Gov
ernment.
Sir G. Napier and Admiral Dundas
are to join the Admiralty Board.
Such are the on dts Of the day.
II is understood that before Lord
John Russelps departure he addressed
communications TO several of his late
colleagues, only one of whom, we be-
lieve, Mr.. Barring, happened 10 be in
London.
We believe that Sir Robert Peel feels
delighted at his freedom from the tram.
mels of Office, and from the disagreed.
bles of.he last twelve months. All the
officials are busy packing up the pa
pers, and leaving clear hoard for The
new administration.
Asparts--and important parts, too
of the administration, public opinion
points strongly 10 Mr.. Golden and Mr..
Villiers. No administration will be
deemed complete in which the men Of
the people are not included. The Peel
government, ever since its advent 10
iS4l, has been compelled TO court pop
ular opinion; and 10 the necessity which
Sir Robert Peel felt of doing so still
more, Is the overthrow Of the conserva-
tive party owing. Lord John Russell
cannot forget uhat he owes to the free
trade, nor to ,chom he owes his return
TO power. s., ~ ..ss.
