U this be trwi—as we have no doubt it substantially I. this Resolution is the Resolution of the late Government. It is brought forward with their sanction and connivance for the purpose of damaging their rivals and successors in office. Now in what relation do the ex-Government stand to that sot of the present, which they now call upon the House of Commons to censure P On the 12th or 13th of last month, Government received a copy of Lord CANNING'S draft Proclamation, unaccompanied by any explana tion or any pieces flub:fleets:fa. Lord ELLEN BOHOL OH had previously transmitted to Lord CANNING a recommendation to adopt a diffetent policy. Aooordingly a Despatch was written by Lord ELLENBOROUGH on the 18th, and dated on the 19th, of the month, re•ennnciating the views he had expressed in his former missive. This Despatch was not sent off till the 26th of the month. On the same day that Government received the draft Proclamation of Lord CANNING, a private letter from the GOVERNOR-GININALtObb. VERNON SMITH reached London. Mr. BETH was at that time ab sent from town, but he returned en the 17th of the month—one day before Lord Sumenottotton's Des patch was written, two days before it was dated, nine days before it was sent off. Lord CANNING'S letter was addressed to Mr. VERreme SMITH under the impression that that individual was still President of the Board of Control. Among other extraordinary revelations that were made in the course of the in vestigation of Mr. BET E'S case was the anwarrant able extent to which the most important business of the Board of Control under Mr. VERNON Sierra was conducted by conversations, notes, and letters, con ventionally called private. In this " private " letter from Lord CANNING was an intimation that the Go- VIRNOtt-GENEZAL bad transmitted by that mail a copy of his draft Proclamation ; that he had been anxious to transmit explanations along with it ; but that he had for the present been hindered by pres sure of business. This intimation was evidently made, not to the private Mend of Lord CANNING, but to the President of the Board of Control. It was the duty of Mr. VERNON SMITH, seeing he had seeped to be President, to transmit the letter to the noble lord who had become President. However jauntily Mr. VERNON SISTER may now deny his sense of such an obligation, it is evident that he did then feel, and that even now be still feels it. He alleges that Lord ELLENBOROVOH received discourteously a previous by Mr. SMITH of a letter from Lord ELPHIIIeTOIO. No discourtesy on the part of Lord ELuntsonounn an exonerate Mr. SMITH from the discharge of a duty which he owed to the State, not to Lord ELLENBOROUGH ; but the mere allegation of the untenable excuse proves Mr. Stunt's consciousness that it was needed. Nor is this all. Mr. SMITH told the House of Commove last night, that he consulted Lord PAL XIMSTON as to whether he ought to keep back from Lord ELLINBONAIIGH Lord Cenitnta's letter. Lord Rtucuanron, he says, advised, oratleast sanctioned, the keeping the letter secret. Lord Pimitsitcron, therefore, is particeps criminis. True it is by no means certain that Lord ELLENBOROUOR'S Despatch world have been kept back even if he had been put in possession of Lord CANNTwo's letter. But it is possible that it might in that cue have been de tained, and Lord B.LLENBONOUGH is entitled to the benefit of the doubt. On the other hand, Lord ELLENSOROUGH'S friends may allege that, knowing his Lordship's precipitancy, the letter was concealed from him in the hope that he might, in his ignorance of Lord CANNING'S intention to offer explanations, send a Despatch upon the terms of which a vote of oensure might be founded—that, in short, Lord ELLENSO ROUGH hu fallen into a trap set for him by Lord PAL MERSTON and Mr. VERNON SMITH. We do not affirm that this is the case, but the ex-Ministers will find it rather difficult to rebut the suspicion. At all events the circumstanoes of the ease clearly impart to a motion for a vote of censure on Lord ELLENBOBOLIGH and his late colleagues, on account of an act to which the parties who have sanctioned and will be benefited by the vote have been acoessaries, an une quivocally factions character ; and all who support Mr. CsanwaLL's Resolutions will necessarily ex pose themselves to the charge of taking part in a factions move. Now we are not going to use big words about utter and final loss of confidence. We leave it to others to ostracise for one, or even several isolated arta, any Statesman whose general coniuct entitles him to be considered a Liberal. There is scarcely a liberal Statesman alive in whose favour the Liberal party have not, at one time or other, found it necessary to pan an Act of Amnesty. Lord PAL MERSTON has had repeated Acts of Amnesty for his complicity in the scandalously oppressive proceed_ inp of the SIDWOUTH-CASTLZREAOR Government, and for many subsequent escapades. Lord JOHN RUSSELL has had an Act of Amnesty for his " finality " declaration. Sir JAMES GRAHAM has had an Act of Amnesty for his letter-opening practices. All the Tory Peelites have been embraced in a gene ral Act of Amnesty for their original sin of Toryism. And no doubt, in the event of some public men, Of whom better things might have been hoped, taking part in Mr. CARDWELL'S glaringly factious move, an Aot of Amnesty for this offence will hereafter be pared in their favour by the unanimous consent of the Liberals. But when the mists shall have peened away which the heat of party strife ham raised to dim for the present the clear sightedness of their consciences, their recollections of participation in such a vote will be the reveree of agreeable ; and every Liberal member of Parlia ment who is self-possessed enough to see the move ment in its true light will do well, by drawing back from it, to save himself from future refret and self reproach. He need not be deterred by remonstrances about disservice done to the liberal canoe ; no good came was ever really served by resort to unworthy means. WE do not wonder at those who are saying that the present hour is one of the gravest that has oc curred in the political history of the existing gene- Mien. It is certainly scarcely possible to conceive a graver. We do not wonder at those who regard the future with more despondency than they did daring the distress of 1842, or the Irish famine, or the darkest days of our Crimean story, or the com mercial raises of 1847 and 1867. We do not wonder at them 1 for the evils and disgraces with which we have now to deal are of a more essential cha racter—lie deeper—portend more fatal issues- But while we cannot wonder at the despon dency, we do not as yet share it. We trust to the people of England to set matters right. We have reached a point of disorder at which there is no hope bat in a Riling back expressly on the national virtue and wisdom. We we no reason to distrust that vireos and that wisdoms, which have never yet been found wanting at the turning points of our political lib. The only question in our minds is whether the citizens generally are aware of the difficulty and discredit in which the entire govern ing power of the country is involved, and of the ne cessity of the intervention of the national mind and gee expreoo.

LONDON, 121IDAY, MAY 14. Wawant Mr. Canowzu.'s Resolution—regarded merely as a party move—be affirmed or negatived. is to as a matter of the most perfect indifference. Net so when it is considered with reference to the effect the vote of the House will have in India. We therefore embrace what may be our last opportunity to adjure the House of Commons to pause before it panes a Resolution—merely to subset re the interests of party—which may convulse our Indian dominions from Arrakan to Peshawur, and from Cape Comorin to the Himalaya--which may, in effect, " cry havoc, " and let slip the dogs of war" among hundreds of millions of human beings. Mr. CARDWELL'S Resolution affirms two propo sitiou : the first, that it is matter for regret and apprehension that Lord ELLENDOROUOTA Despatch wu written ; the second, that it is matter for regret and apprehension that the Despatch has been published. The latter affirmation is perfectly harmless. The propriety or impropriety of the pub lication of the Despatch is an open question, upon which men may warrantably hold different opinions, sad may express them without danger. The first of the two affirmations is of a very different character. It must be borne in mind that Mr. CARDWELL'S Resolution sets out with declaring that the House " la its present state of information abstains from "impressing an opinion of the policy of any Prosla -4 11101111 which may hare been loaned by the Go es in relation to Onde." It then I goes on to say that the Hose " has seen with " regret and apprehension that her MAJESTY'S " Government hare addressed to the Goeratsoa u GENERAL, through the Secret Committee of the. " Court of Directors • • • a Despatch condemn " ing in strong terms the conduct of the Govan/fox " Gerentsz." Common sense and common justice regain that before °ensuring the Government for "condemning the conduct of the GOVERNOR. " Gmsalat.," the House should inquire whether the esudact of the Ootaahok-GairLL was or was not deserving of blame. To censure the expression of oon osennationbyGovernment,whiledecliningtovindicste the conduct of the Govtaisoa-Garixast, is virtually to declare that no Home Government has a right to oondenin anything that a Governor-General sees fit to say or do. It is to declare that the GOVERNOR ORNIULAL is not a Viceroy exercising delegated authority, but an absolute Sovereign invested with irreeponsible power during his period of office, whom no one can call to amount. It is to strip the Crown and the Company alike of all power, and to place the whole of India at the mercy of a despot in Calcutta. The words of the Resolution mean this if they mean anything ; and far the Members of the House of Commons to attempt to get out of the difficulty by saying that they do not expect them to be so literally construed, will be to trifle scandalously with the discharge of an in portent duty. This tint affirmation in the Resole non is unfair, inasmuch as it condemns Government upon exactly the same amount of evidence which it declares insufficient to enable it to pronounce • Ind judgment on the Govannia.GENERAL ; it is fasiddy suicidal, inasmuch as it disclaims on the part et the Imperial Government (of which in the wider our el the word the House of Commons is a part) all right to control or censure their head-servant in India. This is matter that concerns the home public mainly. The sense in which the Resolution of Mr. CARDWELL may be understood in Hindostan concerns both Eng lend and India. It is maintained by some that Lord CANNING'S Proclamation is calculated to inspire with a sense of insecurity every proprietor and possessor of land in Oude. This is denied by others. Our own opinion has been too often and too frankly declared to render it necessary to re-state it here. We do not take up that pound at primpat It is sufficient for our purpose that the meaning of the Proclamation as regards "confiscation," and its probable effect on the minds of the people of India, is disputed. The controversy can only be decided by farther information from India. Even Mr. CARDWELL admits that the House of Commons cask; "in its present state of information," to ab stain " from expressing an opinion " on the subject. If, then, the House of Commons, "in the pre " sat state of its information," censures the condemnation of Lord CANNING'S Proclamation by the Government, it will declare that, in its opinion, Lord CanNtrio's policy ought to be upheld even in the event of its proving to be a policy of ruthless and indiscriminate con. tMafia. We know that some who are prepared to rapport Mr. CARDwELL's Resolution will protest in. dignantly against even the suspicion of their being capable of harbouring each an intention. We be lieve them; but we tell them that among those who are hounding them on to pane that Resolution, there are some who will not shrink from such a conclu sion. There are some who unblushingly avow their advocacy of a sis viva, policy in Oxide. The adop tion of the CAtiziwzu. Resolution by the House of Careneons will be interpreted throughout India, if set as a decree for universal confiscation in Chide, yet as a declaration that if such confiscation is de ereedby the GOVERNOR-GENERAL it will receive the sanction of the Imperial Government ; and every native of India will ask his neighbour, Is our tarn to mew next ? The adoption of Mr. Canowttt's motion, as it now stands, by the House of Commons, will be enough to convert every native of India into a dusky Ribbonman or agrarian insurgent. So far we have canvassed the demerits of this Bssehttion, without reference to its paternity. We hsee analysed it as it lies before as, without asking who are Its asthma. The question of authorship is, kvinver, a material one. We are given to under- 'G, MAY 14, 1858. wilTto meets ns to the benefits and the honours of constitutional polity. Our feelings and =honour were deeply wounded when, during the late war, the Palace COMMIT showed his still imperfect appreciation of oar political progress by saying, in a public address, that Constitutional Government was on its trial in this country ; and the people of Eng land have chosen not to let that saying drop out of remembrance, because it was significant and porten tous, good for discipline and for warning, in virtue of its inapplicability to the difficulties of that day. The words are more suitable to our present position, whether from the home point of view or from that of the foreign world. We have strong faith in a good issue from the trial ; but our salvation depends wholly now on the spirit of the nation—on the up rightness, readiness, and loyalty of that spirit by which our institutions were called into life, and by which that life has been sustained in many a dark and dangerous hour before the present. All we want, to justify and satisfy our faith, is to be &seared that the people at large are aware of the darkness and danger of the hour. We have not a mutiny in the fleet, nor a discon tented soldiery ; nor a cordon and an array of beacons round our coasts, on the watch for the hovering in vader ; nor a coalition of all the European Powers against us to contend with abroad ; nor famine, nor pestilence, nor a deluge of pauperism or disaffection to deal with at home. When such things were happening, separately or all together, our institutions were on their trial, and came out well. The more they were trusted the more triumphantly they brought us through. Oar present peril is more amen tially formidable than any of these, and precisely because its aspect is len alarming. If every Briton knew that our institutions are falling out of gear as certainly and emphatically as he would be aware that an invader was off our ooasta, or the =ambit,- tilling districts in insurrection, the danger would be over at once. If we, and those who see matters as we do, oan bring the danger and those who have to deal with it face to face, all will be well yet. Till it is proved that it cannot be done, we shall trust that it will be done. From the hour which witnessed the disintegration of parties in the Legislature it was inevitable that a crisis like the present must come ; but no man's sagacity could apprehend that it would occur on such an occasion as our Indian empire being in jeopardy, and all the world looking on to observe how our institutions enable us to meet such a trial. People abroad or at home who know no more of party government than to suppose it means two sets of men contradicting and abusing each other —each, in the struggle for supremacy, requir ing its own members to say that black is white when party policy requires it— may well wonder how we have got through our political life thus far, and suppose us in a better condition, though a more perplexing one, at present, in our destitution of parties than when matters proceeded in a more organic worse. People who understand our case no better than that must simply be left to grow wiser. Those who are aware of the full significance of party organisation in a free Parliament must see what oar peril really is at this moment. Parties represent the differing views of events, and the respective strengths of the principles which lie at the root of them. It is essential to wise government that all sides should be represented. The Put must speak in the voice of one party, and the Future in that of another, in order to make the Present harmonise with both. Whatever names are given to parties in various ages, these are the real parties which exist and work wherever Order and Liberty are established. How, after long deterioration, the two parties of Conservatives and Reformers were broken up in our Parliament twelve years ago, every Englishman knows or ought to know. The hope of our best citizens has always been that some one of the great questions which wait to be dealt with world produce its own statesman; and that that statesman would call out his own antagonist. Till this could happen, the thing to be done was to strive (as far as it is ever possible) to attend to mea sures rather than men. This is more easily said than done; and it must be a mere transitional effort while awaiting the leading of a genuine leader. The alternative was worse—as we are now finding—it being nothing else than mere faction. To attempt to make parties out of men who have no policy, no principle, no provision of either the matter or the spirit of statesmanship, is simply to breed faction : and we see the consequences now in our dereliction of duty in regard to India, and our disgrace in the eyes of all Europe and America. We will not dwell on the past To scold or to scoff about our recent exposures of what a British Parliament may sink to, may be left to the organs of disappointed or trembling factions. We, who belong to no faction, but steadily hold to our broad old ground of progressive reform, as the only one on which a good party organisation can again be formed, now call on the people of England to do their duty in taking legislation out of the hands of the selfish, ignorant, flippant, and unfeeling factions which are sacrificing India, with all the interests of its hundreds of millions, and all our interests in them and their country, to their own petty chances of office. We see it is no noble ambition which stimu lates them to seek office; for no man of them all has a policy to propose for India or any other depart ment of rale. We see that no one of them can show any pretence for superseding the existing Govern ment of India in virtue of something better. We see them playing fast and loose with British authority in India; kindling war with one hand while extinguishing it with the other; using the most agitated and suffering part of the human race as the bank of their gambling hell, and our best men in all the services as mere cards or dice far their throwing, with a view to their own ends. If this is allowed to go on India is lost, and our in stitutions will be declared, by all the opinions of the enter world, to have failed. Bat we know that such failure will be wilful and wanton, while it is in the power of Englishmen to stop the profligate game at any moment. Let them petition Parliament, as Manchester and Liver pool, and now London, have set the example of doing; and this will extinguish all the mischievous devices now proposed for the misgovernment of India. Let them embody themselves into a Re form party all over the kingdom, in order to create one within the Legislature. Let them instantly pre pare for the approaching elections, resolving to brand with their rebuke all leaders and abettors of the factions which make us now blush for our country, and to return men more worthy of the time and its work. Oar institutions will serve our needs as well as ever, if we put them to this use.

The Kansas Compromise proposed by Mr. English has passed both houses, and only awaits the sigus,. tore of the President to become law. The final vote of the House was 111 to 102 ; that of the Senate, 30 to 22. — The bill adopted by the legislature recites that on the 7th of November last the people of Kansas, by a convention of their delegates assembled at Lecompton, formed for themselves a republican con. etitation and state government, and at the acme tuna adopted an ordinance which asserts that Kamm, when admitted as a state, will have an undoubted right to tax the lands within her limits belonging to the United States, and which proposes to rehnquieh that right if certain conditions set forth in said ordinance be agreed to by the Congress of the United States ; that this Lecompton constitution and ordi nance have been presented to the Congress of the United States by order of the Convention, and admission of the territory into the Union thereon as a state has been requested. Further the bill declares that the ordinance is not acceptable to Congress, and it is desirable to ascertain whe ther the people of Kamm concur in the changes in said ordinance hereinafter stated, and desire admis sion into the Union as a state as herein proposed. For this reason Congress enacts the admission of the state of Kansas into the Union on an equal foot ing with the original states in all respects whatever, but upon condition that the question of admimioa with the following proposition in lien of the ordi• mince framed at Leoompton be submitted to a vote of the people of Kamm, and assented to by them er a majority of the voters voting at an election to be held for that purpose, the propositions referred to being as follows : First, that sections number sixteen and thirty-mix in ern township et public lands in said state, or where either of esid sections or any part thereof has been sold or otherwise posed of, other lands, equivalent thereto, and as condemn! sa may be, shall be granted to said state for the use et school'. Second, that seventy-two sections of land shill% set apart and reserved for the support of a state univwft, to be selected by the governor of said stale. sad ',ject to the approval of the Commimeioner of the Gemara Land-office, and to be appropriated and applied in such mea ner as the legislature of said state may prescribe for the per. pose aforesaid, but for no other purpose. Third, that Is satire sections of land, to be selected by the governor of said state in legal subdivisions, shall be granted to such state for the purpose of completing the public buildings, or for the erection of others at the seat of government, under the dim. Hon of the legislature thereof. Fourth, that all salt spitlo within said state not exceeding twelve in number, with elz ' sections of land adjoining, or as contiguous u may be to each, shall be granted to said state for its use; the same tole selected by the governor thereof within one year after the at. mission of said state, and when so selected to be used or tbs. poeM of on such terms, conditions, and regulations sa the legislature may direct, provided that no salt spring er lend the right whereof is now vested in any it dividual or individuals, or which may hereafter be cm. firmed or adjudged to any individual or individuals, elan by this article be granted to said state. Fifth, that the per centum of the net proceeds of sales of all the public lands lying within mud state which shall be sold by Congress after the admission of said state into the Uala after deducting all the expenses incident to the same, Ad be paid to said state for the purpose of milting public roads anti internal iraprovemente, as the legislature shall Provided the foregoing propositions herein offered are on tbe condition that said state of Ksnsss shall never interfere win the primary disposal of the lands of the United States, a with any regulation which Congress may find necessary dsr securing the title in said soil to boom fa purchasers Omit; and that no tax shall be imposed on lands belonging to Its United States, and that in no case shall non-resident per sisters be taxed higher than residents. Sixth, and chi said state shall never tax the lands or property of the Valhi States in that state. The voting at such election is to be by ballot, sad the vote to be " proposition accepted" or " prom& tion rejected)" the result to be proclaimed by the President. In the event of the rejection of the pre position it is to be deemed that the people of Kamm do not desire admission into the Union with the Lecompton constitution under the conditions * forth in the proposition , and in that event the people of the territory are authorised to form for these selves a constitution and state government, by the name of the state &Kansas, according to the Wad constitution, and may elect delegates for that pu pae, whenever it is ascertained by a census duly taken that the population of the territory equals er exceeds the ratio of representation required for 6 member of the House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States ; and whenever that after such delegates shall assemble in convect* they shall first determine by a vote whether it is the with of the peo ple of the proposed state to be admitted into the Union at that time, and, if is, shall proceed to form a constitution and take ell necessary steps for the establishment of a state go.

The Bourse and public offices are closed. The evening papers do not appear, and there is scarcely any news stirring. The Prince Royal of Wartemberg arrived lut night at eleven o'clock, and alighted with his suite at the Hotel du Louvre. He will, it is said, remain some time in Paris, and will accompany the Emperor and Em press to Fontainebleau. The prince is a lieutenant ' general in the service of Wurtemberg, and com mands the regiment of Russian dragoons which for merly bore the name of Niehni-Novogoroa. He was born on the 6th March, 1823, and in 1846 married the Grand Duchess Olga, sister of the present Em peror of Russia. M. de Thouvenel has, I understand, revived the question of the Holy Places, by advancing a claim at Constantinople on behalf of the Latins to the cupola of the church of St. Sepulchre at Jerusalem. M. Millaud's scheme for a "Silk Credit Mobilier" at Lyons, which has been bailed with enthusiasm by the Lyons Chamber of Commerce, which thinks it will make their city the central silk mart of Europe, and cut out a good deal of the English trade, meets with great opposition at St. Etienne. It is even said that some of the leading manufacturers of the l i latter town have drawn up an elaborate memorial to the Prefect of the Loire, netting forth their ob jections. It must, however, be remembered that there is a standing feud between the inhabitants of the two places, and the approbation of any measure by one of them is generally an all-sufficient reason for its condemnation by the other. A gentleman of my acquaintance, a German, was in the pit stalls of the Odeon Theatre last night, with his son, a handsome lad of fifteen. Between the acts a sergent-de-vWe bustled up to them, and in a sneering tone of voice, audible throughout the pit, said, "The Commissary of Police desires to speak to you and the lady in his private room." The gentleman, astonished, and not a little indignant, rose from his seat, and followed by his son was ushered into the presence of the com missary. This functionary addressed him as fol lows :—" Sir, in France a woman is not allowed to appear in public in male attire without authoris ation. Have you an authorisation!" The answer was, " Sir, I do not know what you mean by talking of women ; this is a boy." The COMMiII• sary then surveyed the youth from head to foot, and observing, " Well, I see he has incipient mustachios —that is enough," allowed the parties thus strangely disturbed to depart, but he did not vouchsafe to offer a word of apology. The Conatitulionnal announces that the Princess Mule of Baden, the sister of the reigning Grand Duke, is affianced to the Prince Ernest de Leinin gen, the half-brother of Queen Victoria. THE CAOLL4RI CABE. CIZOK ova ovx NAPLES, Mi. 8. The answer to the demands of our government positively left yesterday, and it must have been sent by the indirect boat by way of carrying out the usual policy of delay. I can only conjecture, what report says, that it is in the negative. A Cabinet messenger arrived from England this morning and leaves this afternoon with despatches from Mr. Lyons. Should the reply be in the negative the object will be to get our government into a diplo matic correspondence, and so to defer the arrange ment till to-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow.
