Loan PAL/lIIISTOWS kindly attempt to initiate thealitelless of Mertes in the intricacies of House of CUOMO IMAM mast be regarded as highly anesertfal, and the canoes and character of the late meesseable Reform contest are mode for ever plain to the meanest capacity. The noble author is, more over, u fair as he is lucid, and seen Sir Joss Panntorott would find it difficult to discover any thing to object to in the manner in whisk the quer time lately in issue are stated for decision. And now, since nothing is wanting to the history of the recent Parliamentary struggle, would it not be as well if our eminent politicians would address themselves to the questions of the future, with their attendant duties and difficulties The country has now been precisely instructed by the leaders of both Ades of the Rouse in the circumstances under which Lord DERBY took office, the oonstitutional duty of an Administration avowedly in a minority, and the steps by which both Parliament and the Government arrived at an impasse. The luminous dissertation of Lord PALMERSTON, end the passionate protests of Mr. Dishaatt, will be precious in the sight of future writers on the theory of Parliamentary government; but these are matters rather for the leisure of the closet than the butte of an electoral oriels. The portion of Lord PALMERSTON'S address whisk contemplates the future consists of the one pereireph in which he states the issue to be decided by the constituencies: ..The question, therefore m - sotenitied to the jadgmset of the electors of the J. Baited Kingdom is, whether the Bill proposed by "the Government wee good or bad; and whether • the Government were right in proposieg snob a Bill, or whether the majority of the House of Gam mons were right in disapproving it." And is this all? Are a million of electors to be wooed and driven from their homes to the poll-booth to decide is the merits cf a maws which its very authors Yes abandoned, sad which they loudly dis avow? We trove set. No each barren ques tion will engage the active mind of Rog ; land at the impending elections. " The Bill' is dead and buried. Its authors will never disinter it, and it is not for Liberals to evoke its apparition to divert men's eyes from the real work and bug gies of the day. Many members of the present House of Commons, proceeding to the hustings, claim cre dit f or baying opposed the Government Bill. But a men need not hare been a Reformer to do that. Let the electors ask honourable gentlemen what they are for, as well as what they are against ; what extension of the suffrage, for example, they are prepared to vote for, when a tangible proposi tion is made in Parliament. Defined alms and fixed objects do not demand the application of any Procrustean rule in the organisation ef parties. Reformers differ ea to questions of degree when they come to apply their own principles. Lord JOHN Russitt.t, having a view to what is presently practicable, and desiring to close an irritating ques tion, would accept a tenancy of 81 yearly value as a qualification for the borough franchise, supplying its deficiencies by a number of supplementary qualifica tions. Mr. SNORT, in the letter which we publish la Darks& velars , goes further in reducing the qua- IlleatiOn lee the fame franchise. He would give a eats to all persons rated at not less than 31., or oseemying to the value of not less than 41. per annum, whether the rates are paid by the tenant or by the landlord, and even below that point he would allow sow wean being a rated occupier to secure his vote by undertaking to pay and by plying his own rates. He would, farther, give the franchise to occupiers et apartments; that is, to lodgers, paying a rent of not lon than 10/. per annum, subject to the same period of residence as in the case of rated occu piers, and whether the rent be paid half-yearly or any shorter period. The difference between these propositions is not based on any antagonism of prieciples, and therefore the friends of both of them can act honourably and efficiently together. But between Reformers and those who are not of their number the line must be drawn somewhere ; and is it possible to reckon among Re formers those who consider that the measure of which Lord Joan RIDISLLL gave an outline on Monday even ing goes too far fee the needs and deserts of the people ? The main part of that scheme relates to the lowering of the borough franchise; and shall we be told that a measure which, in 1864, received the approval and even the official sanction of Lord Asn- DEE., Mr. GLADSTONE, Mr. SIDNEY 111.1 BRET, and other Statesmen of equally Cosec wader temper, is too revolutionary for 1869 ? We repeat, that we are not for ostracism and proscription; but in the name of consistency and common sense we ask the Liberal electors of the United Kingdom to colander well to what position in the ranks of Liberals those are en titled who would thus go back in the destined path of popular progress. The divisions of the Liberal party rest, no doubt, be reckoned among those evils which, according to Mr. DISRAELI, it is for the country to comprehend end remedy. Those divisions, however, will not be diminished, they will be aggravated and rendered more mischievous by a laxity of requirement and an indifference to polili sal principles on the part of electors. At a tree when we are assured party government has prod away for ever, the great Liberal:majority of the House of Correa, is distracted and weakened by the operation of personal antipathies and per sonal pre/access. It is in the power of the eseeti tnencies either to increase or in a very censiderable aware to abate this evil. Inconvenient as is this &relation, it is a constitutional appeal to the °pastry on that subject whisk, hakes all ether, stoppling a criterion of the political soundness of emulates, and a basis for the onion ef the whale Liberal party. If the constitionseles will chains use to represent them in Parliament for their da mn Amino for Reform, their known attachment to Metal peindpioa of government, and their and- THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVE4ING, APRIL 9, deuce in the people, such an union. will not difficsl.

Them warnings are not given without reason. Let any one look at the election addressss of professed Liberals which now teem from the press, and he will find a warmth of indignation and a sentimental enthusium and declaration of un bounded confidence in particular men, employed to veil the vaguest of political faiths. It is in the power of electors to protect themselves from delusion by these artifice,. The new Home of Commons is to be elected to pass a Reform Bill, and the question to be asked of every candidate should be, not—What man willyou eall master? but—What are you prepared to do in Parliament for Reform P Tan Great Powers have an unusual pressure of work to contend with at this critical moment in the history of Europe. They have to ratify the political and administrative union of the Danubian Princi palities in the teeth of an abortive settlement scarcely eight months gone; to make up their minds whether, if at all, a Congress on the affairs of Italy is to meet, and what it is to settle ; and Wit not least, they have, by the instrumentality of telegrams from all points of the compass, between this and the beginning of next week, to furnish that great pacifi cator, Mr. Dtsualtu, with the materials of an elec: tEoneering come for the constituencies of the United Kingdom. Just as Lord PAEKEnstoN was about to rise in his place, about half-peat fear p.m. yesterday, to fire a conical hiterpellation at the Treasury Bench, and to express his anxiety on behalf of the active•minded population of Tiverton in por tion's:, and nobody in general, to learn the position in which this country stands, whether as negotiator or as mediator, towards Foreign Powers, the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was observed to glide to the table, and in the suavest conversational tone to request the noble lord to desist from his inquiries, on the ground of inconvenience to the public interest, with the assurance that he would make a complete official statement ors rotund* on Monday or Tuesday seat. If this was not to spike the 'Merton gun, at all mats it was to draw the charge, and Lord PAL =MOW politely shouldered arms ; bat it was sug gested by Lord Jons RessELL, and assented to by Mr. DISPAILI, that the " complete statement" to be made on Monday or Tuesday should be in the form of a motion, and be open to " some observations. ° We must therefore be content to consume our own smoke for another day or two, sad to wait for the third chapter of Mr. DISRAELI'S Romance of Peace, of which the first was the simultaneous evacuation of the Papal States by the French and Austrians, and the second was Lard COWLEY'S mission of con ciliation, " without any instructions whatever," to Vienna, In the meantime we have something more sub stantial to ruminate than them ambiguous Foreign office entrees. Seven or eight weeks since Lord NIAMILIIIIIJILT, it seems, invited the Sardinian Cabinet to draw up for his instruction and guidance a ' precise and positive report on the grievances of Piedmont against Austria in Italy. To this suggestion Coant Caucus responded with sedulous alacrity ; and the result is now before u in the shape of a " Memomndum," which enlarges and enforces, confirms and amplifies, the former document of a similar nature which the Sardinian Plenipotentiary presented to the Congress of Paris in 1866, with the entire salient and adhesion of Franc* and F.ngland Tb. prwarent M.marainti,,m ie chiefly conspicuous for its treatment of what we may call the Lomberdo-Venstian branch of the Austro-Italian question which was omitted from the statement of 1856, and we have no difficulty in giving Lord Materseurte and his colleagues the credit of having the courage and the honesty to elicit a frank and full expression of the complaints of the Italians against Austria, not only " in cons*- " quince of her relations with the States of Central " Italy, the abnormal condition of which is admitted "by all the Cabinets of Europe," but also, "en account of her domination over the " provinces which she possesses in virtue "of treaties." When inhumanity and injustice are guaranteed by public law, they are commonly acr muted among the lacerida of polite official scatty, and it is a refreshing novelty in diplomatic annals to fled the British Government requesting the Cabinet of Sardinia to communicate all its ideas on "a qesetima which cannot be solved without a modi " Swipe of existing treaties," es well as "on " other points" more open to discoation. It almost justifies the popular belief in progress, when in a solemn diplomatic Memorandum the great principles of equity and justice are set above the text of dynutic treaties in which " the fate of the " people disposed of woe little regarded," and " the " precept which modern civilisation proclaims—that " there is no Government legitimate except that " which the people accept"—is appealed to as an axiom of incontestable authority. Count CATOUR pats separately the two questions of the condition of the Lombardo-Venetian king dom, and the Austrian policy in Centr►l Italy. With regard to the latter he does but amplify the charges, and dwells with more particularity upon the facts. contained in hie Memorandum of '36 and in his re- cent Circulars. We are happy to find our own con tribations to the advocacy of the Italian cause verified by the authoritative declarations of the Sardinian Oovernment. Perhaps we have under stated rather than otherwise the abuses of Austrian power within the territory assigned to her by treaty, and hit wrongful encroachments upon the neighbour- log States. COCOA CAVOCR demonstrates with un answerable cogency the dangerous and undue moral preponderance of Austria sustained by re peated military interventions in Central Italy. He shows the whole Eastern frontier of Piedmont from the Alps to the Mediterranean overshadowed by the Conventions which give Austria the right to occupy the Duchies " whenever it may be meal to her ewe " military operations." He denounces Austria inter fering with irresistible force whenever the people of Italy have sought to obtain ameliorations and re forms from their own Governments, exerting a ooe stant moral pressure and a complete political pre. poederance by means of a perfect cinranre of @trate gelled positions. T►king his stand upon public law, he charges Austria with broken pledges and violated engagements, and he protests against the incitement danger to the national existence of Pied mont, and the constant necessity to her safety of maintaining a defensive force at a ruinous cost. He therefore Insists " that the principle of non-inter "?option should be proclaimed and respected," and that "in conformity with the letter and spirit "of the Treaty of Vienna" the domination of Austria throughout Central Italy should mese. It will be difficult for any English Ciewerament to withhold its memt from propositions se endeniable in feet and es moderate in form. And it will be difficult to Formulae public opinion in this emintly that Count CAVOIJR is moved by an all - ambition when he asks English statesmen to concur in the establishment of constitutional liberties in tins Duchies, and in their restoration in Tuscany. Count CAVOUR has been accused of oinking only the aggrandisement of Piedmont, and of a guilty complicity with the liberticide plots of Napolmmien. Tot in this studiously calm and moderate State-paper we find him advocating no- thing more heinous than free play for constitutional liberties. With respect to the Lombardo-Venetian pro vinces, Count Csvotra asks for no more than Aws tria herself wee willing to concede, and eves rawly to propose, eleven years since--a " national and " separate Government." He is careful indeed to state with perfect frankness that such a solution can only be deemed "a palliative;" and that "if Ans .' trio cannot be induced to modify treaties, no de " linitive solution can be l -attained." But with respect to Lombardy, as wit k respect to that more delicate and difficult question still, the States of the Church, he is careful to indicate the minimum of reforms absolutely indispensable to remove the most crying causes of complaint, and to leave the larger objects and demands to the operation of time. and • gtx court.
