I De tl cement% Ministers can hardly fail to be
in possession of meet complete material for the
•" Atli statement" en foreign affairs which Lord
I \LSI /ASV ST and Mr. DISRAELI have severally pro-
, aimed to the patient cariosity of the Lords sad COM.
02041. CORM. CAYOUR'S"Memorandum," which we
noticed in oar last impressioo, leaves no point of the
3talian question untouched, and whatever it touches
it exhausts; for ell purposes, at least, of discussion
;in Parliament or in Congress. But in order to supply

. -
such oral commentaries Cu the text of the Memoran-
dum as may be necessary for its perfect eatspre-
hessian by Lord MALMV-iIICRT, our justly es-
teemed Minister at the Court of Turin has been
summoned to England; and the airiest of Sir
3 ue HI (v.:4 in London will, we learn, bet closely
followed by that of the Cavalier* Massneo
I,'At Flo it°, who is charged with a special mission to
the Court of Bt. James's. The Cavaliers will leave
Tarin to-night or to-morrow, and nothing that san
happen within the next few days on the Continent
will detract from the opportuneness and the import-
ance of the confidential communications with which

he ia entrusted. The selection of oae of the foremost
representative men of Italy to convey to Great Bti-
tain the last wishes of his country on the eve of the
Anal conflict, is an act of special and supreme
sigma/leaner, and without unbecoming eentimeitality
we may reaeoriably interpret it as a sign of touching
deference, a trustful and affectionate appeal to the
moral succour and protecting sympathy of the Eog.
halt nation. All that is good and great in the
Italy of to-day—bar coinage in the camp, her pri-
des(' is the eosacil, her grass of intellect, her
espreissey i■ art, her send anion, her political
emaceipattee, her national life, tradition, history,
and hope—is expressed by the bewared same, the
unse,lord repetition, the gallant salvia', and the
aelf.deLying ratriotism of N tying° D'Azzcalo, the
soldier, the artist, the man of lotto*, the devoted
Witmer, the loyal servant of his King, the
comtant champion of his country. We trust aid
believe that the brilliant author of the Cosi di
Ilootaiym.., the gallant hero of Vicenza, the
sometime Minister, the ever faithful friend of
VICTOR FRIdAIII:gt, will be welcomed by the

Court aid Cabinet of Fogland with all the
siosaideration and respect due to the nerve he bears
sad the message he brings. It is rather to indulge
sue aci testier than to pay superfluous respect to
loch as Eavoy that we bespeak the him a reception
w►ich we have so memos to doubt the British Co-
verers/nit will he glad to give to a gentleman who
coasts many intimate Meade in English society,
and who le, we dare my, almost as mach at horns in
Ltadon as at Turin.

Trig history of events that never happened has
of late received some considerable additions. Six
weeks ago the Moist of Commons, which at that
date bad not fortetted the character of " a patriotic
" Parliament," cheered and cheered spin Mr. ins-
ult-I*s annquncenient of the simultaneous and
happy withdrawal of both Austria and Freon from
the Pontifical States. Rose, however, still hal& a
French garrison, and if a movement towards Cirita
Vecchia were sow annosamd, people would only ask
whether they were going to Genoa or to Venice?
"The Cooper" baa sines been an object of
European interest. We know the name* of all the
Pleniptentiaries, and almost know their instruc-
tions. A fortnight ago it woe a vital question whether
those respectable personages should dine at Aix or
sleep at Butes ? But who talks of the Coupling sow?
No doubt plenty of peepl• thought they believed I.
it, till on Saturday they soddenly found themselves
accepting without the slightest difficulty a rumour

which had come no one knows whence, no one knows
Dow, that Aunties had dsclared war against Piedmont
What if the latest and most portentous announce-
ment, made on the highest authority in Parliament
should no mote be fulfilled than its predseessors
What it all the eloquent electoral addressee which
adorn our columns should have bees written in
vain ? What if that dread fate which the CHAN`
CILLLOR of the EXCHEQUER, with such considerate
delicacy, broke to the "disoordant sections" of the
Commons this day week, should be averted, and that
by the act of Ministers themselves? Why, then, far
from accusing Mr. DISRAELI of a " disingentioum
" manicuvre," we should be prepared candidly to
examine the reasons which might be adduced for so
sudden s turn of affeirs.
With the wives of Cabinets we profess no ac-
quaintance, but the difficulties which are growing
up in the way of the present cdministration, and
which the dispersion of the house of Commons at the
regent moment would aggravate rather than re-
medy, are obvious to every eye, and have already
raised doubts and stimulated public rumours adverse
to the probability of a dissolution of Parliament.
It will not have escaped twice that the language of
Mr. DISRAELI when, on Friday night, he woe
pressed to name the probable time for taking the
elections, was even more than ordinarily smarts*,
and seemed to observant hearers to betray en wen-
lingoes' hastily to throw away all chance of dividing
with Parliament the tremendous responsibilities at-
tending the conduct of our ftweign affairs during the
neat week or two. ()a Tuesday night Parliament
will hear from the right hon. gentleman an authori-
tative and, we trust, a full and well-pondered state-
mint of the position in which we stand to the
Powers now arrayed in arms, and whose shock
may at any moment resound throughout Europe-
The situation of affairs which he will have to descrthe
must raise the question, how far it is patriotic to leas
the I.".4ction of our interest/ end the maintenance
of our hon.'nr to the unassisted wi,dom of the

Wiwi!' At so solemn a encemat ono ,Ige.
Durum will not think it good PAD to wog
Lard MALMVIBCHT.II sagacity so t►,a goat illehoos
of Eegland, nor to deny that eas noble Foreign
Secretary is most wise and most safe when he
enjoys the advantage of the e.loie supervision of his
rivals. But if there is any truth in statement' which
have obtained the sanction of mime of our most
respectable coot waries, the Administration can-
not at this moment commend the aid of all who are
nominally its member,.

We hear without surprise of desertions which are
simply ominous, from the lower administrative de.
putaents, and also with deep regret that the Siam-
' TAIT of STATE for the CoLONIES has suffered by ex-
Naive devotion to his duties, and cannot be considered
at present an efficient member of the Government.
Minister, will probably see that these circumstances
greatly diminish their chance of obtaining that
expression of confidence which they tell us they

are shoot to seek at the hustings. But whether
they do or do not tee this, plain people throughout
the laud will lay that the public interests are trifled
with if Lord Deane attempt, to put out into a sea
of European troubles with no better crew than the
recent parliamentary storms have left under his com-
mand.

It may be freely admitted that the alternative
courses open to the PREMIER are full of diffi-
culties. Ministers have proclaimed, not without a
certain ostentation. that the recent vote of the House
of Commons we, equivalent to a vote of want of con-
fidence. They have chosen to stand in the position
of persona amused, and hays appaled. The sup-
porters of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S motion may hays
intended to affirm nothing more the• his resolution
contained; bat Ministers have voluntarily precluded
themselves from regarding it otherwise than
as an arraignment of tbemaslver, and sines it
was successful, aa their positive condemnation.
How they are to co-operate u • Government
with a House which they broadly accuse of the
reseed injustice it is not for us to conjecture. The
emu which is most natural to a constitutional
minister under circumstances like these is not difficult

to discover. The use of the discovery is the
knowledge that a natural course is just that which
Ministers are least likely to follow.
Whatever Ministers may resolve to do, whatever
guarantees the Hones of Commons may demand,
the intemts of this country are clear. The foreign
policy, which Lord forts Er sstu. summed up in
the words freedom and peace," ia that which any
Minister who hopes to wield the power of England
must maintain. The House of Commons has jolt
shown to Europe what we think of freedom, for it
has pronounosd in favour of increasing freedom in
the freest nation in the world. And if we preserve
oar own peace, what better sae can we make of it
than to proceed in the work of uniting and cement-
ing different clamors by the wider distribution of
rights at prosiest toe massively enjoyed? With
Lord Mans or without Lord Dr-MT, in the present
House of Commons or at the hosting", the business of
the day it Reform.
