three Of these gentry made the scale incline against
the Ministers and decided the fate Of an Ainni''TA
ton from whose weakness they had nothing 70 nope.
The defeat OF the Ministry by a combination Oh
factions has been easy; but which Ct these factions
disointed from the rest with which il had no syn
patty, ives strong enough to form new Govern
meutl There were The RoHgcs from Lower Canada,
who count some 10 votes: the two or three Torres
from the same section Of the Province; the Tories
from Upper Canada deadly opposed to the RoRges
numbering some 30 the half dozen adherents OF Mr.
Brown. and the few loose fish who were looking
for the highest bidder to take them up. Among
this latter kind were some new members, who, at the
same tine. PLAYED fast asd loose with two parties
expecting either to take them up if it should
be successful. Such men have turned the House Of
Assembly into a regular mart for the sic and Pur-
chase of live animals. Not one Of these factions
could hope to form Ministry; and the only thing
omen TO Lord Elgn to send for the leader OF the
most powerful section OF the opposition lie did 30
and immediately that Sir Allan McNab accepted the
commission to form a new Ministry, he put himself in
comm uricafion with Mr.. CsucbOn, Lower Can
sdian Tory of but little influence, not being able 10
control more than two other votes besides ms
own. This latter gentleman communicated through
third party with Mr.. MORN, who controls thrty-sx
Lower Canada votes The only eonsolatlon when
Mr. Cauchon could obtain was the declaration that II
he desired again to become member OF party
which he had deserted three years ago no obstacle
should be opposed to the penitents return but that
if he came at all be must enter the ranks sir
| Allan having obtained interview with Mr..
MORN the latter insisted, a basis oi the
negotiation, that the secularizaton OF the Clergy
Reserves should be made Ministerial
! question; and that the new Government
should take up the programme of their predecessors,
as developed in the Royal speech. and carry it all
into effect TO which condition Sir Allan on his part
after consultation with his friends and Parliamentary
supporters agreed. II was agreed that the Lower
| Canada section of the Government was TO undergo
no change in its personnel, and for Upper Canad A
| the Liberals were offered two seats in the Cabinet
| thus giving them a numerical majority in the new
Ministry as a guarantee for the fufllment OF the
stipula,ons into which Sir Allan consented to enter
to take up the policy of the late Ministry where IL
had been eft off at the signson. That offer was ae
septed and the Hon. John Ross becomes Speaker OF
the Legislative Council, and Mr.. Spencer, new
member of the House, Postmsster-Generai' ine
new members of the Government from the conserya-
tive ranks are Sir Allen McNab, President ofthe Coun
ell. the Hon. VIM. Csyley, Inspector General the Hon
John A. Macdonald, Attorney-general for Canada
West and Henry Smith, SolicitorGeneral. The ne"
members Of the Cabinet were sworn 10 to-day AT L
O'Clock. and we shall doubtless have the explanations
of the new Ministry in the House this afternoon bu
not in time for the mail. OF the declared policy o
the new Government may give some account to
morrow.
