LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19.

WE understand that a ministerial statement re-
'pectins the conduct to be pursued by the government
in °pompanos of the hostile vote of the House of
Lords, was to have been made in the House of Cam-
mow last night, eould tie Prime Minister have been
there previous t, the commenc:ment of the debate on
Mr. !LIGHT'S motion. The statement will, doubt.
be Wide to-nay. Lord lons Husaxit's presence in
the house at all last night iul icated that the
rumour of his resignation had no truth in it. Minis-
ters, however, cannot retain °Moe under the hostile
v.ite of the Lords, unless the Commons declare that
their confidence in the present government remains
unabated. This demand maim fail to produx a de-
bete in the Hones of Commons on the affairs of
Greece, the result of which will bo of extreme im-
portance.
Sir ROBERT PEEL, it is known, declines to take
office. The alternative *therefore, between a Prc-
tectionist ministry and the present one.

AMONGST the many ways by which the whig
ministry has provoked its own signal defeat in the
Lords, and consequently in Europe, there is no one
m rce manifest and more worthy of remark than the
position held by the cabinet towards the nose newe-
-1 aper. A kw additional lettere relative to the
Greek question, distributed yesterday, prove be-
yond a doubt that one of the great, if not the only, cause
of the resentment shown by the French government
in the recall of its Arabs/radar, is to be traced to a
statement made from Athens in the Times, which was
totally without foundation. The Time correspon-
dent announced from Athens, that Biron Gnus had
communicated to Mr. WYSS his having received
intelligence from his government of the convention
of London being, if not signed, at leutin a fair way of
signature. Mr. Wren now most positively- deasies that
Berm Gaos, although h wrote three notes to
Mr. WYSE immediately after the arrival of the Vau-
ban, ever communicated the fact of a convention

being in a fair way of signature in London, until
after the whole affair had been concluded. And yet
the correspondent of the Times in Athene,when ques-
tioned, asserts that he got the communication which
re sent to London, direct from Baron Gins. With
Baron Onos, therefore, and the ITmes, rest the honour
and the responsibility of setting the governments of
France and England at variance.
We have bad frequent communications as to the
difficult and untenable position in which our foreign
envoys have been placed. Whilst theT themselves,
and the dipkmatic correspondence which they pre-
sent, speak the generally liberal language of the
Foreign-offic,, the Times, in manifest communication
with and confidence of her Majesty's ministers,
holds a precisely contrary language. So that in
their dealings end negotiations with us, foreign minis-
ters can and do
.point to the Amer, as speaking the
opinion of a majority of the cabinet, whilst the am-
bassadors of her MAIM! are set down as speaking
but the opinion of a minority in the administration.
It is this divided position of the cabinet, at war
and at variance with itself, putting open confidence
in an organ that deaconess its foreign policy and
ministers—it is this position of the British ministry,
which has placed the country in such difficulties
in Athens and in Paris, as well as drawn down the

hostile and important rimeastruces of Russia and of
Austria. That the French ministry is at this moment
acting in oonnivanee with the anemia' of Lord PAL-
ozat.ros in and sot of the cabinet them is no need of
provleg. l'be suspense of negotiations and the letter
of Cietteral Warm show it. The position of
the 7Vissi correspondent at Athens as the
organ of the Branch envoy, and se the
dec#l of the Omsk goyeenseent, as well as the
joint! itself being made the Tobias of oommn-
nitrating to the British public the official documtnta'
of the ooart of Russia—all this fully establishes the
relative position of the English government and of
the journal, to which the government so cowardly
truckles, and which government, together with the
brat interests of the satin, it openlj betrays.
Ws do bust, that not only for the sake of the dig-
nity of powernsneut, bat fir that of the material in-
terests of the country, this diegraoeful antagonism
will be pot an mad to. We, We aright to know
whether a cabinet be liberal er illiberal, whether its
