have decided Sir r Peel on resigning an Office
whi ich had become os ihanklsss as it was irksome
But he has resigned IN good and righteous cause.
and his reward will be in accordance with his
merits.
Should war take place
with America, neither Aberdeen nor Haddineton
could have carried Il on with the spirit and skill
suited to such q serious contest The downfall

news for Polk that he ha. received since his in.
stament into Office. The Syrian affair made an
impression in America, which established the
character Of Palmerston for decision and national
spirit; Polk would rather see any man in the
Foreign Office than noblemao, who, since the
days Of Canning is the only minister that has as
serted the honor Of the country in all her fereign
relations.
Report says tha, Sir Robert Pee's resignation
was received by her Majesty without hestta.
ton. although Sir Robert Peel's line of intended
policy would have had her Majesty's support
Lord John Russell was at once sent for; but, as
the noble Lord is at present in Edinburg, some
days must elapse before he oanobey the summons.

Parliament cannot now meet so early as was
expected; and uron the course taken BY Sir r
Peel, will depend the prospect Of dissolution
II is believed that Sir Robert will support Lord
John Russell in his general policy. The Premier

The following is the most correct list of tn
new Cabinet
First Lord ofthe Treasury, Lord J Russell.
Lord Chancellor Lord Cottenham.
! Secretary Of Foreign Az
, fars, Earl of Clarendon.
Secretary for the Colonies, yiscount Palmerstor
Secretary for the Home
Department, Marquis OF Normandy
: Chancellor OF the Exche.
! quer, Mr. Barring.
q President OF the Council, Marquis of Lansdown,
President of the Board Of
Trade, Mr. Labouehcr.
= Vice President Mr. Shlel.
First Lord OF the Admi-
.alty, Earl ofNIlton.
: Lord Lieut. of Ireland, Earl For,escue.
:, First Commissioner OF
}. Woods and Forests, Earl Of Bpssborough
= Ambassador 10 Paris Lord Beauvae,
Ambassador TO ST. Petersburgh, Marquis
c Clanricarde.
The great objection to the correctness Of tn
list is that one does not find in il the name eth,
