THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 23, 1861;

There must be very few countries where it can
happen that men who cannot with any chance of
a conviction be charged with breaking the laws of
the land see the Government, which exists for their
protection, procuring through ita baser agents evi-
dence to be banded over to the representative of a
foreign power to their molestation and damage.
Having been advised to leave the Emperor of
Arnim to that civil remedy which our courts offer
to the meanest of his subjects, it might in decency
have preserved • neutral attitude. Of course,
the stereotyped excuse is that our Government
is in amicable relations with the Austrian Go-
vernment ; but is it not also in amicable rela-
tions with her MAJP>ITY'S loyal subject, Mr.
DAY?

It seems impossible for our Government to
pursue an independent and national course
wherever any Anstrian interest is concerned.
Until lately, however, it was commonly supposed
that only our diplomacy was perverted by this
bias. The recent discussions show that the Home-
office is equally subservient. It is something,
however, that both these departments are repre-
sented in Parliament. At present that Canna be
said of another important service. We have had
a Minister of Police without knowing it—by all
means let us have him in the House of Commons.
