proprietoTs of the Baltimore Sun, for an Ex,r,
dated, "Jan. 10. one O'clock" containing III.
Foreign News by the arrival of the ship Liberty
from Liverpool, which city she left on the 18th
OF December, bringing London dates to the 18th
The Presidents Message had not yet reached
England, but the newswe have received 10 of tbs
highest impor,ance-of more consequence than
is no more nor less than the resignation of Sir
Robert Peel, and the organization Of q ne,O
| Cabinet by Lord John Russell
The announcement Of this important fact-im-
pOrtant to The United States, in commercial
point of view, as well, perchance, in political
aspect, threw the whole English public into
state of the greatest excitement.
| Its effects was tremendous
In addition to this, and as necessary eon,e.
quence, Parliament has been further proroyued.
as the following exhibits
:" At the Court at Osborne House, Isle Of
Wight. the 10Th day of December, lS45, present
the Queens Most Excellent Majesty in Council.
1t is this day ordered by Her Majesty 10 Council,
that the Parliament. which stands prorouged to
Tuesday, the 10Th day of December, be further
prorogued to Tuesday, the 30th of December in
slant.
The corn law question has been the cause of
this.
The effect that this news will have upon the
relations between England and America cannot
but be Of the utmost consequence
American cotton had improved
| The following statement was made in the
Liverpool Mercury of the 18th:
| The Message Of Peace to .Anserica-An in
curry has been earnestly addressed to US from
| London, as TO whether the news touching the ex-
pecicd opening OF the ports, really left England
by the Acadia, from our river, at noon on the 9TH
inst. Our reply is, and we can answer for tho
fact-it did so. We have entitled it a message
of peace, because no can doubt the effect Of
the announcement, especially iffolIowed by reali-
zaiion, not only upon she Oregon question, but
all other matters of discussion between the two
| nations.
This We know is a mistake. The announce
ment Of the LOadon Times did not come in the
Acadia, although ii was evidently intended for
| that steamer.
In announcing this change the London Sun
| says -
| "The Ministry Of Sir Robert Peel has resign.
ed. The country at large n,ay be startled bya
| circumstance so unexpected, but such is the fact.
Yesterday morning the majority of the cabinet,
comprising the Duke of Wellington, the Duke Of
! the Earl Of Aberdeen, Lord Stanley, Mr.. Guul-
burn, the Earl of Lincoln, and Mr. Sidney Her.
bert-iD all, nine out Of twelve OF thirteen compO-
sing the entire cabinet, proceeded by special train
| 10 Southampton, and were conveyed by the royal
| steamer Fairy to the Isle of Wight At court
held at Osborne House they rendered their resig-
nation to her Majesty, which was graciousy ac-
copied! Here Is a sudden and abrupt termination
Of the Conservative cabinet, and that, too, at the
very moment they were supposed. and even demi-
officially announced, to have become the converted
organs Of free trade policy in all It's ramlied bear
ings."

RIGA, neither Aberdeen nor Haddington could have
carried 1t on with the spirit and skill suited to
such serious contest. The down fall of this
Heterogeneous Cabinet will be the worst news for
Polk he has received since his insialment into Of
fee. The Syrian affair made an impression in
America, which established the character of Pal
merston for decision and national spirit, and Polk
would rather see any man in the foreign Office
than BobiemaD who, since the days of Canning,
is the only minister that has asserted the honor Of
The country in all her foreign relations. The
| character of the remainder may be summed up in
a few words. Since the Earl fRIpon was prime
minister, and by his pusIlaDimity excited the
TIdIcne Of the Sovereign that called hita to office,
he has been utterly useless.
The following is the most correct list OF tho
new Cabinet:
| First Lord Of the Treasury, Lord J. Russe
Lord Chancellor, Lord Co,ioBham.
| Secretary Of Foreign Affairs, Earl Of ClaTen'
| don.
Secretary for the Colonies, VscOuDi Palmer
| sion.
Secretary for the Home Department, Marquis
| Of Normandy.
Chancellor Of the Excheguer, Mr.. Barring.
President Of the Council, Marquis Of Lans-
downe.
President Of the Board Of Trade, Mr.. Labou-
( Cbere.
Vice President, Mr. She'll.
First Lord Of the Admiralty. Earl Of Mimic.
Lord Lieutenant Of Ireland, Earl Forescue'
First Commissioner Of Woods and Forests
Earl Of BessbOTough.
Ambassador to Paris, Lord Besuvale.
Ambassador to ST. Petersburg, Marquis OF
ClsDTicaTde
The great objection TO she correctness OF ihue
list is that one does not find in il the name el1hs
Of Sir Robert Peel or Of Mr.. Golden.
