gravely attempt, not to protect the rights, but to enforce the

parties, three parties who have been for years •lirectly .utd
strongly opposed in politics, in character, in peretnal 'pet ch,
have joined spinet the Minister who saved rho country
when the direction of stairs was abandoned by Lord Aber-
deen in dismay, when it was shrunk from with terror by the
very members who at the tint moment of peace join to beat
the man whom they could tolerate so long as they net dad
him in war. The country will judge the combination.

MOVEMENTB.-(T11IS DAY)

This afternoon, at 2 o'clock, a Cabinet Council as-
sembled and was fully attended. The council had not
icon
when we west to press.
The Earl Grenville culled upon Lord Palmerston at
Cambridge House, Piccadilly, this morning, sad had a
lengthened Interview with his lonblip. The noble lord
afterwards called upon several members of the Cabinet.
Mr. Cowper, the Vice-President of the Privy Council on
Education, also had a lengthened interview thiv morning
with Lord Palmerston at Cambridge Howie.
It was expected that one of the members of the government
would have attended the House of Commons this morning
at twelve o'clock, for the purpose of adjourning the house
until the ministers had come to a decision in reference to last
night's division ; but, with the exception of Mr. Baines, the
=nieces were engaged in conferences one with another, and
none of them attended the house.
It la rumoured that as soon as the Cabinet Council rises,
Lord Palmerston will proceed to Windsor, in order to have
an interview with her Majesty on the present aspect of poli-
tical affairs, and to arrange as to the future course of the
Ministry.
