carlos bad escaped from england and made his appearance in the north of spain it comes however in a very questionable shape to us it is unaccountable that it should be known in liverpool on the 16th july that don carlos had arrived in spain and it yet be a matter of doubt in loudon on the 14th that he had left portsmouth a contest is evidently preparing in the spanish nor thern provinces of which the result will be highly important general kodil with the queens loietr from portugal must ere this have arrived there and riven battle to the collected partisans of don carlos ciuecn adelaide as on

difference of opinion in the cabinet but ultimate ly all agreed that ihc bill should be introduced in the lonn in which he had introduced it anil ibis deter mination hail since received the lull sanction of the lord lieutenant 1 1 was with considerable pain and surprise that he heard the production of thce private communica tions called for iu the other house the state ments repeeiug ilicit were made w ithout his know ledge hut the eifect was this a member of the other house hating been put iu possession of the fact of this coiiiluuiiiculiooi made use of it io bring a charge ugiinbl government mating that the production of these document was absolutely necessary to justify die passing of that bill and charging n member ol tile government with a breach o laith vacillation and inconsistency contrary to all precedents and the proceedings tn tins house- the consequence o this had been that the chancellor of the exche- ffucij vjluhad the conduct of the alhiirs of govern iiicnt in the other houe and who hd been fully impiesscd with the opinion of the lord lieutenant uf ireland and who lelt how much of the grounds upon whieh tins hill was proposed was swept from underbill lelt inconsequence ui what had passed in the other huue that he could not with satisfac tion to himself continue iu the situation which he then held the consequence was that yesterday morning he lord lireyj received a letcer from his noble friend containing his resignation and in a personal inter- mew with him having ascerbdned that his resolu- lion was final he submitted that resolution to his majesty it then became necessary for him lo con sider uhat he should do he had lung been anx ious to be relieved iroin the labors of office which were greater than he could hear and this new breach having rendered it impossible to carry on the govern ment to any useful purpose he had determined to tender his resignation to ins majesty which resig nation had been most graciously accepted the noble earl thn took a biief mvcw of tins adminis tration and appealed to the people whether the pledges on which that administration had been term ed namely peace reform and retrenchment had not been lully redeemed the uuke of wellington contended that the par ly uho made the communications alluded to by the noble earl ought never to have been admitted to his ftlqjeatys service he was satisfied that his right honorable friend the lord lieutenant of ireland was fully justified ill every part of the business the statement he bad made lo die noble earl at the head ol the government repeetng the alteration in the coercion hill was that n such and such was tbe stale of ireland then the ourlmartial clause might be dispensed wlill- hie noble duke then euteied into a long exm iiiou of the domestic and foreign policy of the late government and denied that these benenin had resulted from it ul which earl lirey has spoken vil i jml hrr ilio trf iil iii- ijiijit f the noble dnke and defended the late iriine minis ter for himself it should never be said of him the lord chancellor that he should be the man at whatever hazard who would not stand by his sove reign and the country in whose service he had been for three years and a half he had tendered no re signation vfume laughter noble lords might laugh but he would ask was there any thing so very merry in the present situu tiou of ministers to cause laughter 1 probably the noble lords so indulging themselves would have no objection to take part in the new administration no ihey know better or at least if they did not he the lord chancellor did for he declared that nothing but an imperative sense of duty could have induced him to remain in office a single hour after the resig- nation of his noble fiend willi respecttoanoiher retirement viz that of the noble lord the chancel lor of ihe exchequer he was of opinio that there was no occasion for such resignation and so much the more did he regret it the report waa then broueht up and the house adjourned house of cowaions july 9- the most perfect silence then succeeded and the speaker called upon lord althorp lmd ahhorp then rose and addressed the

however that in such circumstance i might be placed iu great difficulty and embarrassment during the progress of this measure through this i louse uut when on thursday last i heard die statement olmy
