(From the Morning Herald of this day.)

Of course it was not to be expected that the noble and
right honourable Peelites of the last Coalition who were
present at the Cabinet dinner at Lord Palmerston's, on
Saturday last, would stop short in their advice and sug-
gestions with the conclusion of that somewhat remark-
able festival. Nor was it to be anticipated that the
Premier, who sacrificed so much of fame—whether ill-
gotten or well achieved matters little at the present mo-
ment—to force himself into office, would hesitate to go
a little deeper to retain it. Accordingly the Peelite Pal-
merston of Saturday last evening in Piccadilly, who then
and there profited by the councils of his colleagues at the
banquet table, which were carried out vigorously by them
in the House of Commons on Monday night in reference
to the motion of Mr. Milner Gibson, has now once more
become a pure Wkiig until Saturday next—until Mr.
Disraeli's resolution shall have been discussed and de-
cided upon.
Lord John Russell, we understand, has had not a
little to do with the new pure Whig move. Toe noble
lord has, as advised by his old and new friends, insti-
gated Sir F. Baring to place upon the paper of the
House of Commons the following amendment to Mr.
Disraeli's resolution :

"That this house having seen with regret that the Con-
ferences of Vienna have not led to a termination of
ho: tili-
ties, feels it to be a duty to declare that it will ceutinue
to give every support to her ;Majesty in the prosecution of
the war, until her Majesty shall, in conjunction with her
allies, obtain for this country a safe and honourable
mace."

We pity poor Sir F. Baring ! Surely he should have
had more sense than to have permitted himself to be
made a cat's paw of in this instance, in order to afford
the noble member for London the opportunity for mag-
niloquence as to his vast efforts at Vienna, and for the
enunciation of a few well-worn whitey-brown constitu-
tional platitudes. Sir F. Baring has frequently enough
been used to have acquired experience from the past.
Does he not know that he is about to earn the indigna-
tion of the country by endeavouring to ward off, by an
ill•directed side-wind, all expression of opinion by the
representatives of the people upon that " ambiguous
language" and that " uncertain conduct" which amongst
all classes of society, and at every legally-constituted
assembly of men of all shades of politics, met for the
purpose of expressing their opinions upon recent and
passing events, have been the themes for elaborate and
eloquent condemnation I
Is not Sir F. Baring conscious of the dissatisfaction
to which we refer ? Does he not feel this dissatisfac-
tion himself ? And yet, we understand, he is about to
move the amendment which we have printed above ! If
so, we may well reiterate the assertion which for years
has been ' ringing in the ears of the nation—that there
is no length to which a pure Whig will not go to serve
the family party.
But what will the Peelites of the Palmerston Cabinet
dinner of Saturday last—the Duke of Newcastle, the
Earl of Aberdeen, Mr. S. Herbert, Mr. Gladstone, and
Mr. Cardwell—what will they say to the new move ?
What, if they advised it, notwithstanding their coalition
with the Peace party? The idea is edifying and sugges-
tive. A double treachery ! The dodge is so becoming
that it is well worth half a dozen words to recommend
it to the consideration of our readers.
