"I am now," said Sir William Williams, at the Maosionhouse
dinner on Wednesday, "a Member of Parliament"; and per- haps no one was so moch ,amazed at the statement as" himself. Sir William will have very false ideas as to the facility_ of being-:: returned to the Honourable House. Lord Shelburne has b_eon made a Peer' in order that he may be Under-Secretary. of State for Foreign Affairs, in lien of Lord Wodehouse our Ambassador : at St. Petersburg ; and General Williams, who has become one of the notables of the country, is appropriated by the Govern-: meat,_ which has marked him for its own by loading him with honours, and has, by favour of Lord Lansdowne-- appointed him Member for the Whig little borough of Caine. It was the easiest part of all his victories : he went, saw, and was returned. He promised that in the House of Commons he will stick to _mi- litary business, and especially to carrying out in counsel the warping which he uttered on landing at Dover—" Wo to the nation that neglects the. military art." • •
