The Panola lynx. (Panola, Mi. [i.e. Miss.]) 1845-1846, 1846-01-31

hours can pass without proving 10 the
nation the substantial truth of our first
mon1entous announcement, vlz., thatih
leaders of the Cabinet were resolved
upon a total repeal Of the Corn Laws.
They were resolved to the utmost OF
their power. They were resolved to
do this, or nolhing--to repeal the Corn
Laws. or be no Ministers.
''Ifthe Duke sees peril in that mea-
sure, or feels reluctance TO undertake
it, he will have to realize the dangers
and disagreeables on the other side OF
the scaIe-the dissolution of The coli
sentative Ministry, and the interposi-
ton of q rival, and in some respects,
more suitable agency. lie will be as
sured that his own punctilions, so far
from impeding the measure, may per-
haps only render it the first OF a series
still less to his taste and convenience.
Whatever amount of distrust he may
feel in his present (if not by this time
his Iate) colleagues, he will be only too
sure oflhe statesmen and the policy he
will helm to inaugurate in their stead.
If he has not the heart to solicit the
Lords in behalf Of friends, he will, ne
verlheless, not escape the still more ar
duoAs task Of conducting his little arts
tocralical troop against the close and
serried phaanx Of an unanimous peo-
Pile, headed by inveterate foes"
The Morning Chronicle thus states.
in less positive manner, the fact of re-
signation:
Gan official announcement in another
part of our paper, confirms one part of
the statement which we made yesterday
namely. that Parliament, instead OF
being summond for the despatch of
business, woudI be again prorogued.
The other and more important part of
our announcement Is, we believe, eqaI
y correct. The Cabinet, we are as
sured, resigned yesterday. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY said. that so far from the Cabi-
net having, at any time, come 10 de-
cision 10 recommend the repeal Of the
Corn Law, a large majority of his col
leagues have, throughout, been opposed
to Sir Robert Peel's recommendation"
The Post, which would feign be
considered Ministerial journal, is the
only Morning paper which is silent
on the subject of the resignation. 1t
speculates as the meeting of Parliament,
as follows:
CAT a court held yesterday by her
Majesty. at Osborne House, it was or
dered with parliament, which previous
Iy stood porogued till Tuesday, the 9Th
instant, should be further porogued un-
til Tuesday, the SO instant; and as no
intImation is gwen that The meeting in
the latter day will be 'for The despatch
of Business there can be no doubt that
another prorogaton will take place
1t is, OF course, quite clear now that the
Parliament cannot assemble as has been
stated, in the first week Of january, and
the probability is, that the short profo-
CATION just ordered by the Queen in
Council, is only intended to give time
: for fnaliy-arranging this day OF meet
ing FOR business. The prefogatiou i'm
medialely preceding the commencement
of the sessions, have, ,oflate years, been
much longer than the present one. In
1845. Parliament was prorogued from
the 18Th of December, TO Ihe lst of the
ensuing Februafy; and III 1914, from
the 18th Of December, 10 the 4th of
February in the following year"
Astounding as was the effect OF this
important intelligence on 'Chang-ex-
citing the hopes Of some, and demping
tie prospects Of others-it can scarcely /
be said TO have come upon US altogether
by surprise. Rumors, pregnant, as it
BOW appears, with truth, had been for
four andtwenty hours before the pub
lie, and although they proceeded from
sources not the most likely to be in the
secrets of the Government, they were
believed by many shrewd parties, who
saw, in the uncertain aspect of affairs,
much 10 confirm their truth. The |
Morning Chronicle, of Wednesday, |
published the lollowing:
"a rumor prevailed in the clubs last
which we deem it right 10 pub
hsh, as good deal of credit was at
tached to it. 1t is said that the Duke
of Wellington refuses to support any
alteration in The corn laws, and that in
consequence Of the difficulty thus crea-
ted, Sir Robert Peel has determined TO
resign. 1t is added, in confirmation of
this statement, thai it was determined
at the Cabinet Council, held on Monday
that Parliament should be again fur
Their prorogued, instead OF being sum
mond by proclamation for the despatch
Of business"
The. Standard of last night has the
following:
awe can confirm the statement of the
Morning Herald, that all the Cabinet
Ministers have rendered their resigna-
lions, and that her Majesty has accepted I
them, and therefore the present minis
Iers only hold Office until their success
sors are appointed.
