RONDOS; SATURDAY. APRIL 2.

FRCSS the brief and enlimatleal statement made
tact night by Lent DIZIT is the Howe of Lords.
we gather that a Winn Conseil haring been held
in the earlier port of the day to onsider the coarse
read* red necessary by the vete of the pee-noes night,
his lordship waited on the Utmer, and submitted to
her Nls.le,tY the result of their deliberations. Tho
Para tra added that be was not then at liberty to
make known what had peaked in the interview with
which he had been honoured by the Sove►eign ; but
that on Monday next he trusted that he should have
permission to do so. The Peers heard the significant
intimation in silence, then whispered am to another,
Whet does it mean and loyally and li.tlemly
went their way. I• consequence of the adjourn-
ment agreed to at the end of the aproar on 'Chars-
day night, the Commons did not meet. In the course
of yesterday, however, • report gained curtsey
whiehethough clearly proved to be impossible by the
clearest logic of the moat experienced practitioners
in the treatment of that constitutional malady, a
ministerial crisis, eventually turned out to be net
only possible, but a downright fact. A meeting has,
it appears, been so e owned for one o'clock this day of
the supporters of Government in the Home of Com-
mons, and it requirse no very great stretch of
imagination to conceive what the object of sash an
assemblage, at nth • jusettere, moot be. Instead.
therefore, of • ►ummary and placid transition of
power to Whig from Tory hands se the tam-
duo, coos, illeilte of the Often nights' &Ws
and the ni,j,wity of thirty-nim, the pblia
Inuit betintent for the next forty-eight hours with
the Weenie ansosoccossat that e,:rtion confidential

neer.

It were idle affretatios, however, to pretend to
feel say serious doubt es to the natant of the pro
eroding' yesterday, w►ich courtly etiquette ladle
shouLd be wrapped op is semi-trnep•reat mystery;
and Mill more absurd woo:d it be to Inge anew-
teinty as to the object or character of the twee
which le about to be enacted at Dowsing-street
to-day. It Is generally understood that Ind Drane

Nobody who appreciates justly the personal eke.
enter of the noble Earl can entertais • doubt that in
the Royal presence he felt impelled, by every seen
of boson, loyalty, and selCrespect, to do so frankly
and witlunt reserve. Twice ham he been favoured
by the lints with the highest confidence the
Nineveh of a free people can bestow ; and so MS
who has had the like experience of affairs has ever
acknowledged more fully the consideration and
kindness with which he has been treated. What-
ever be his faults, Lord D•OT km never been
accused of being a mean or a spiritism. man, end he
most be that, and wore, if in the critical circum-
stances of the present hour he wilfully misled or
deceived his Sovereign se to the true condition of
her aff►irs. We are bound, therefore, in common
justice, to presume that the Peen en respectfully in-
formed her NI \J 1 • T T that, after the sentence of die-
approval passed on him and his colleagues by the
House of Commons with reference to their proposed
measure of Its form, it would not be becoming in them,
or genie-table to her MAJESTY, to attempt the con-
duct of legislative affairs in the present Parliament ;
and that, as they were unwilling to interrupt the
ordinary businem of the ememien, and to put the
members of the House gevertraUy to the inconvenience
of a general election, he was not prepared to recom-
mend a dim:illation. What special grounds may
have been a.►igned by her MAJESTT for hesitating
to accept the resignation of Ministers we do
not take upon us to say. Bat that such
there must have been, m:1 that they were
deemed by Lord Dance of aufhoient weight to
jostify him in accepting the grave and unusual re-
epon.ibility he appears to have thereupon incurred,
no lops:nisi man can doubt. Them are probably
few things which the Court is less disposed to view
with favour than a dissolution of Parliament ta any
great party question. All the instincts of governing
power are opposed to frequent appeals to popular
feeling. We are not now arguing the question
either in general or with particular reference to
existing etreumetanert, we are merely retelling
what we believe to be notoriously true as regards the
predilections and leanings of than in the highest
places. What, then, can have been t►e ea:eidera.
Roos which may be supposed to have outweighed the
disinclination habitually felt to any COUTOe of policy
which either necessarily or contingently would
involve the resort to • dissolutio• ? We bad
rather not indulge in any surmises ou this subject.
A few hosts must dinkiest all ; sad the public will
then be able to jade accurately and justly of the
sufficiency of the notification which Ministers will
have to assign for retaining office under existing
circumstances. But we need not wait till Monday
far an ieteepretatioo of that part of their conduct
which constitutes the actual bsenne of to-day. For
west are their Parliamentary adheren s summoned?
It cannot be for eoeseel se for coeferesee as to the
ad. les Ministers are to give their Sovereign, for
tbst would he to abdicate all Ministerial trust and
official responsibility. It cannot be to ask for •

renewal of confidence on their part, for Ministers
bays bad the best proof of it within the last few
hewn, and it has not availed to save them from
Parliamentary discomfiture. What is the question,
thee, 'beat to be submitted to the eatisambesed but,
we balkiest, still unbroken followers of Lord Misr ?
Is be prepared to tell them that on the morrow of
his defeat b• placed his resignation in the hands of
her MAJLITY ; that for reasons he will in due time
disclose, and for whose sufficiency he is prepared to
be answerable to the country, he has consented to
reassume the reins of power, but that to do so with
dignity or any hope of public advantage he must
b►re an assurance from them that they would sup-
port him is a second attempt to legislate on the
*abject of Reform, with a view to which certain
modifications of the existing Cabinet will be indis-
pensable ; and finally that, should he be intercepted
in the coons of such an undertaking by any hostile
step on the part of Opposition, he is prepared at coos
to appeal to the country
Did the Opposition, by whose dense array the
Ministerial minority was so far outnumbered on
Thursday night, power within itself the unity of
purpose or the spirit of cohesion which ought to
animate a great party, it would matter little what
tale Lord LIMIT was prepared to tell his followers
when they are gathered at his official residence this
afternoon. Bat it is idle to conceal from ourselves
that no such unity exists. Good men and true men
there are both amongst the leaders and fueled ; but
an unconcealed aim is harboured by some, to rob the
late victory of its legitimate fruit; and sooner
them ass men who are in earnest about Re-
fers at home and the support of Constitutional
liberty abroad called to the councils of the Crown,
there are certain pseudo-Liberals who do not hesi-
tate to own that they would prefer seeing Toryism
reepited from official banishment for another season.
There is one honourable and plain—but there is only
one—way of paralysing the counterplots of those
to whom we allude. Let the flag of a real Reform
be unfurled. Let the people have something to look
to and to rally round ; and then they may laugh at
the intrigues of Trimmers and the tergiversations or
Tories; for we shall feel the old confident faith of
better days, that the might of the many is ever
able and willing to enforce the right when unfal-
teringly proclaimed by the few.
