POSTSCRIPT.

&MOAT.

It appears that though Lord John Russell does not take the Colonial Office, he has accepted the post of President of the Council ; without going to the House of Lords, or relinquishing the Leadership of the House of Commons. The morning papers also announce some further Minis- terial moves, as being now placed beyond a doubt. Earl Granville, who has been heretofore President of the Council, will become Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, an office purposely vacated by Mr. Strutt ; and Sir George Grey takes a seat in the Cabinet as Secretary for the Colonies.
