Government must either take some mesas of satisfy-

be the duty of the Legislature to express an opinion
that on this great question Lard PALMERSTON'S
Cabinet is not equal to the exigencies of the day.
It is impassible that the Liberal Party, now in
mach fares and strength in the Haase el Commas,
can again submit to the humiliations of the emits

of that sea on theparty is very mainly indebted to the
ineapacityof LordChanccllor CRAMWORTH. Thealter-
native is, then, tolerably obvious; either his lordship
most give way to an abler man, or the Cabinet will
be irreparably injured by his retaining the custody
el the Great Seel. It is not pleasant to be obliged
to speak in this way of the highest dignitary of the
