The question fur adjourning till Friday was then put and carried. FRIDAY. JUNE 5. ADMINISTRATION. Earl Moiler rose, in the absence of a Noble Friend (the Marquis' Wellesley) who was every way better reat qualifie rid tha n ms hielf for the task, to correct a mi sa pp rehension of g injuous and mischievous magnitude, which bad gone forth and been spread among the public.— The misapprehension to which he referred, was founded on an expres sion contained in a late speech from his Noble Friend, delivered in that House. The words " dreadful animosities," which had been used by his Noble Friend, as he was firmly persuaded, only casually or inadvert ently, had most perversely and perniciously been interpreted as point ing to the highest personage in the State. To remove such an impres sion wherever it could have taken place, was the chief object of his ad dressing their Lordships at that time. That animosities, or dreadful animosities, should subsist in that exalted quarter to which he had refer red, would be terrible to contemplate ; but the contemplation could not be more terrible than the imputation was false and unfounded, for no thing like animosity had place or existence in the breast of that illus trious person. Those werds of his Noble Friend, he was sure, were unguarded, and that were he present then, he would willingly recal theta. The principle upon which his Royal Highness was desirous to have an efficient administration formed was, not a principle of exclu sion, nor implied any reservation of seats or offices; but full and unre strained powers had been given to his Noble Friend to lay before his Royal Highness such a plan and arrangement as in his judgment was best calculated to answer the exigencies of the State, ;led maintain the safe! y, honour, and city of the country. H ving ld said so etain their much, lie conceived that he had disc har g ed his duty, and wou d Lordships no longer. Earl GREY would most certainly have abstained from prolonging the present discussian, if part of what had been advanced by the Noble Lord (Moira) did not, in common with his Noble Friend (Lord Gren ville), call unavoidably upon him to take notice of it. He would not have a partial statement of a public transaction so important, in which lie had any saare, to go abtoad ; or if such a statement had gone forth, _be felt it incumbent on hint to correct it. His Noble Friend (Earl Moira) had stated, that in the proposed arrangement which the Noble IMarauis had been authorized to make i there waa no reservaflon con ditions. ersona hadbeen nl‘ted for seats, that t had been unfettered with He b coulti a aot but regret the ab euce of the Noble Marquis at such a tire. But an authorized sattemera which he had receivera w in avriting designated the Marquis Welle.,ley as Firtt Lord of the Trea sury, and placed Earl Moira, Lard Ersaine, and Mr. Canning, in the Cabinet.--(His Lordship read fro nt the p a p er.) —To Lords Grey and Grenville it proposed, that if the Cabinet should be composed of twelve MeMbers, they shoul d a pp oint four of them • or if of thirteen, five ; while the remainder were left to the nomination of Lord Wellesley. — 'chase were stipulation4.with which it was iairus:doit: fur hint or MS . THE NATIONAL REGISTER. !JUNE 7 Noble Friend (Lord Grenville) to accede. It was true he had sube quently received a letter from Lord Wellesley, in which he entered into sumo explanation; but the letter was of a private character, and could not be regarded as having validity against an official document, presented under the high au thorit y of the Prince Regent.' His Noble Friend had himself return. d a prompt and explicit answer, such as the occasion ap. peered to tin clearly to require. They felt that they could not. con• ai aently with their character or their sense of public duty, accept of Si. tuations in which it would be out of their power to act with any effi ciency. Ile should not pursue the subject any farther at present, but thouela it his duty to say so much, in consequence of what had been stated by his Nei)le Friend (Lord Moira). Lord ( a a NVILLE coincided in all that fell from tbe Noble Lord who spoke last ; and added, that he could not, consistently with the dues which he owed t o the s e a e rei„ei, the country. and to himself. coificifla. in the proposition alluded to. But he did not believe that the N e s), Marquis iutended any personal wrong in the expression which he had uttered. The Earl of Mot ,- A spoke in explanation. Lord ERSKINe exonerated the Noble Marquis from any intention of wounding the feeling , of individuals, and lamp nted that he was not pre. sent to satisfy the House theteon. The Noble and Learned Lord ad verted to the proposition alluded to, and spoke in strung terms on The Marquis of Doeoests defended the expressi o unle ns ss made ; e use exis cf te by the Noble Lord n ow absent, by On serving, that the e existtl some spirit of resistance or animosity, the proposition, so fair in halt, must have been accepted. The Dake of ATHOL rose. He was not much accustomed to hol) speeches in that House, but be held his life and fortune &von d to the e rvice of the country. He should avoid going into detail ; but he hoped that when the Prince Regent should form an Administration, it would be composed of persons not attacked to this or that party, bet of men with min ds and sentiments only alive to the public need. He made no doubt there were many persons among the nart,es of eminent abilities, yet he was confident that, independent of all parties, there were men of equal abilities, aid enough of them too, to surly all the talents and wisdom that an Administration could require. 'flora was no one who felt a better right to love the King and Constitutast than himself. He had been thirty years in Parliament, and had always been attached affectionately to the Constitution, and to the King, wheat he considered the best part of it. Lord ELDON t left the Narool tosack h e ar from , and mtheovedNoble an adj Lord ournm(Moira) ent. It gave him grea that the words " dreadful animosities" had no individaal referense a, any Noble Lord or individual whatever. What were the conditions expressed or implied in the commission which had bean referred ech to, he should not offer to determine or argue upon ; but he must bese their Lordships not to discuss the subject any farther in the None Marquis's absence. He had no inclination to impute blame to E./ Noble Lord; but feeling the impropriety of going into such a discussiea in the ebsence of the Noble Marquis, he trusted he Ehould readily to absolved of any animosity in moving au adjournment. The Earl of LAUD r.lt VALE presented, according to previous notice, r:a. a temporary Bill for the relict of Insolvent Debtors, similar to ti which was passed last Session, which, after a few words from Leal HOLLAND, was read the first time. The Earl of LAUDERDAL E p resented a Bill for the relief of c, atala Insolvent Debtors in Ireland, which was also read the first time. Their Lordships then adjourned to Monday. . ___- HOUSE OF COMMONS. .--.1011 1, ..- -. MONDXV, JUNE 1. NEW MINISTERS.

Mr. WWI r LEY having mad? a few observations on the di-e'' sl • tion of political writers in this country to vilify the characte:s public men, proceeded to state, his conviction of the necessity that ' the doubts which they had endeavoured to infuse into the pli!) 14 mind should be cleared up.
