LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 9.

Tim curious ambiguity of certain expressions
which fell from Iced MAST towards the close of
his speech on Toesday night has set the unwary
thinking whether after all some arrierr-pestle may
not lurk beneath the florid frankness of the noble
Pelvises mode of dealing with the question of
confidence raised in the House of Commons. No
man seems to revel non in the pleasures of candour
than Loed DRAB( ; and nobody more delights is the
saumptica of a magnanimous and patriotic tone,
When called an to form a Government fifteen months
ago it was impossible to exceed his eloquent appre-
ciation of the difficulties before him, or to surpass him
in his depreciation of the party who sat behind him.
For himself he professed tome not for office—he would
rather, indeed, be without it. All this talk, how-
ever, about the deficiencies of ott ere, his own indis-
position to act, and the difficulties of the situation,
was deemed of use, us setting off his seltdevotion ;
said now that he has succeeded in somewhat better-
ing his position as far as dumb votiog•power is con-
cerned, but not sufficiently to resist with success the
preponderating force of opinion against him in a
Parliament even of his own choosing, we have the
whole story over again of his reluctance to take
office, and, in addition, various equivocal but signi-
ficant intimations that he may yet after all feel it his
duty to be still more magnanimous than ever, by re-
taining place under circumstances yet more trying.
When subjected to a vote of censure in a Parliament
called by his opponents he refused to give way
from an overwhelming sense of loyalty to the Crown
and love of his country. Should he now be assured
by a Panamint of his own summoning that he and
his colleagues do not possess public confidence, he
does not say that be will submit to that decimal= and
leave the question of who is to succeed him free and
unembarraesed by lingering pretensions on his part.
Lord Deuce affects to regard the impending vote
of the House of Commons as but one of the premises
to the conclusion which, by the end of the present
week, he may be forced to arrive at. Should that
vote be hostile, and should any party in Parliament
compared with that which now holds office ap-
pear more able to conduct the affairs of Go-
vernment, then the noble Lord told his Peers
on Tuesday last that he would cheerfully withdraw
in favour of his competitors. But who is to decide
this newly invented question of political superiority ?
Or where in the precedents or rubrics of the Consti-
tution do we nod any mention of posthumous rights
in au extinct Ministry, like those which Lord
DEanv darkly seems to hint at? In unconstitu- Altbeegh it is net definitively settled on which
