WANT OF CONFIDENCE IN MINISTERS. TO TI1E EDIToR ok"r u i; SPECTATOR.
Whileliall Place, 311 February 1840. Si it( looking over the Division -lists as published in the Sifeet.dor.of Sitturilay last, 1 find my moue included in the moldier of those who by a majority of 21 proclaimed anew, and without even demanding a declaration on the ptkrt of the Government of the policy they intend to pursue, their implicit confidence in the ex hting AdiniiiistratiOn; when-sus (he filet is, I was not even preseilt at tlw flivisisos. 1 could not share in the confidence su chivalrously yielded to 111ini.ters upon this occasion ; and therelltre, as I have still less faith tins-in opponents the Tories, I did not vote ikt all. I value toy consist.c.ncY too highly to pronounce that to be white which Wan BO recently black, ri not in the teeth of all evidence to the contrary, at any rate in the absence of all evidence of the change: for after all, save the substitution of one or two popular names for some which .were eminently unpopular, what indication have we of that change in the policy of Government which can alone restore to then) the confidence of the country ? Trusting to your usual candour to insert this letter, or to correct the error you have thus inadvertently Olen into in some other way., FIWTaa'EN JERVIS.
[To Mr. Rims, and the other Members who have addressed its on the subject of the accident explained in another place, we can only make the amendu which is there offered.—ED.]
