The most important news, by this arrival
is the unsuccessful attempt ofLord John Rus

REsIGNA1toN OF THE PEEL CABINET, &c.
On the 10th of December, the Peel Ministry
rendered its resignation to her Majesty,at Os-
horne House, Isle of Wight, which the Queen
accepted. 1t is generally believed that the
difference ofopinion among the members of
the Cabinet, ON the subject ofthe Corn Laws,
was the cause fthe resignation. We copy
the following remarks from the London
Morning Herald, ofDeccmber 18th, and as
the Herald is still the Ministerial Organ they
are important. 1t will be observed that the
Herald calls the announcement ofthe Times,
of the 4th ut., respecting the total repeal of
the Corn Laws an 'inGnmO,tS fabrication. y
The Herald says:
ave stated yesterday, that the whole Cabi-
net had resigned. Such is the fact the whole
of the Conservative Cabinet goes out togeth-
hn,., ,.,tlI oIhnrn o. tho
Conservative party. Whatever Sir Robert
Peers opinion upon the subject of the corn
laws, the country may be well assured that
he never did propose, and IN office or out Of
Office, never will either propose or support any
change in the corn laws, unaccompanied with
what he believes to be full compensation TO
the landed interest, through all its grudations.
Whence that full compensation is to- be OBJ
tained we are utterly nj loss 10 conjecture,
but it is no more than an net of justice TO the
late Premier, we suppose we may call him
now, to repeat it, that he nerer did propose, as
the infamous fabrication ofthc Times assert
ed an unqualified and total repeal ofthe corn
laws. Nor, az we firmly believe, will he ev-
er propose 20 support any such measure
This is most important, because, whatever
difference has existed in the Cabinet has been
merely difference in degree and not in species,
and therefore cannot extend TO the Conserva-
tive party in either House Entertainment"
The Queen Immediately sent for Lord
John RUSSELL and commissioned him TO form
ministry. A ministerial interregnum of
ten days followedduring which time all kinds
of rumors were circulated respecting the ar
rangements which Lord John Russell was
endeavoring TO make with his party. Just as
an official announcement was expected to be
made ofthe formation ola Free Trade Cabi-
net, Lord John Russell, OH the Goth of De-
cember, informed the Queen that he had not
succeeded, and could not succeed, in forming
a Cabinet, and he consequently resigned the
commission confided to him.
The refusal of Lord Grey TO act in the Cab
met, with Lord Palmerston as Foreign Secre-
tary, is said to be the cause of Lord John Rus
sells failure in his attempt to form Ministry.
The Queen having left Osborne House, for
Windsor Castle, her Majesty, on the Goth ut.
sent for Sir Robert Peel, to form a Govern
ment. After an interview with the Queen at
Windsor, Sir Robert Peel Withdrew his ten
der of resignation and recommended form
alton of Cabinet.
We may:mention. in this place. that Lord
Wharncliffe, President of the Council, died
on the 10Th ult.

The PREsIRENT's MESSAGE. This docu-
ment did not cause, in England, the excite |
ment that great many persons supposed it |
would; on the contrary, It was considered |
less warlike in its tone than Mr. Folks Inaug-

vorably influenced by it, The London Morn |
