MONTREAL, Oct. 6, 1851.
Since my last letter, communicating the fact of
the resignation Of the Canadian cabinet, the first
move that has been made has been the sending for
Mr.. Francis Hincks by the Governor General, for
the purpose of authorizing him to construct an
other ministry.
The composition of that ministry is guessed to-
eraby correctly, for IL Is understood that, hence-
forward, tho cabinet nils will be limited to FIVE
members, excluding therefrom the Attorney and
Solicitor Generals.
Mr.. A.. N. NORM, the Speaker Of the Legislative
Assembly, to be Presdent Of the Council; Mr..
Francis HIncks, to be Inspector General Mr..
James Leslie, to be Provincial Secretary Mr. Nor
ris, Postmaster General; and some Western Canada
man, possibly DIR. Roph, TO complete the g'aiafao.
Mr. Hincks, Mr.. Leslie, and Mr. Morris, have re-
sPeciively held the Offices in which rumor replaces
them.
II will be perceived that the only actual represen
tstive Of French Canadian nationality, will be Mr.
MORN for, In the present political com bnations,
Dr. Pspineau, once the guide and instructor Of Mr..
NORM, will be, In sporting parlancs, placed no
where.
Mr. MORN Is an able writer, and sound think
er; as q speaker, be has produced no impression
upon English audiences, and his felow-oountrymen
do mo- award him, by any means, the first rank as
an orator He was Compromised in the events Of
1881, but be 10 now essentially n jealous Roman
Catholic conservative. His amiability is proven
bal, and, for a strong party man, he has created
Mr.. MORN will not only succeed Mr.. Lafon-
tsire President Of the Council but he Is destined
to take his place rs member for the city Of Mont
real.
The conservative French and English, IL they
unite their votes can return any member they
think proper to nominate; and Mr.. Norm may
count upon bis election with certainty, unless some
very popular candidate appears.
Mr. bristow, gentleman connected with the
Ptfo newspaper, " spoken Of as meditating an APP
peal TO the constituency Of Montreal Hence. as
Montreal 70 allowed but two members, II would fol-
low that Mr.. Bristow must be Mr.. Morins col
league This solution Of the que-tion admits Of
grave doubts, for should BENJAMIN III dimes, the
prsep, member. desire his reelection, his return
nigh. be predicted confidently, albeit he Is deci-
ded disciple of the school Of anpexationists. The
lrsh vote IN Montreal can often decide q contest,
when the French and English vot rs are nearly ba-
lapeed 80 that should Mr. Holmes not feel dipos-
pr,snt km,eif Mr. Bristow's prospects would Be-
clouded
Mr. Lewis T. Drummond, who was Soil ,itor
General, Is TO take rank "a Attorney General, but
without q teat In the cabinet He was the proposer
of the scheme Of condscsting certain seigniorial
property, few days before the last session OF Par
lament clos, d. That clever dodge tells now II
secures him the votes OF the electors wherever there
are seieniories, and he has relieved himself frsm
any an xiety ne to obi aiming q seat in the House.
