LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 8, 1855.

M. DROUYN DE L'Huys has resigned office ! This;
fact, announced in our impression of yesterday, is
peculiarly significant at the present crisis. He had
but returned from Vienna, where- he had acted as
representative of France during the discussion on
the Third Point at the Conferences, which, accord-
ing to Lord PALMERSTON, have been "suspended,
but not broken off." There lie exhibited the same
truckling to "Germanism," the same deference to
the tender susceptibilities of Russia as the British
Plenipotentiary. He concurred in propositions
which, if accepted, would have led to a disgraceful
and hollow truce, and neutralised the many
serious sacrifices already made by the Western
Powers. But this was not all. Like Lord
JOHN Russia', he resolutely closed his eyes
to the insincerity and duplicity of Aus-
tria, and connived at her wriggling out of the
performance of her solemn obligations. For this
he has mcst properly received the displeasure of
his Imperial Master ; for this he has relinquished
his important position in the Cabinet of Paris,
where he is replaced by Count WALEWSKI,
who, as Ambassador to the Court of St. James's,
has gained golden opinions among all classes and
grades of society in England.
This is, indeed, an event of vast importance.
It proves that NAPOLEON is resolved that hence-
forward the War shall be carried on with vigour
and energy, and that Austria must forthwith de-
cide on which side she will array herself, whethe:•
she will faithfully and honourably fulfil her en-
gagements, or abide the inevitable consequences
of their violation. It is a fitting conclusion to the
Viennese farce, so far as France is concerned, and
it remains to be seen whether England will, by a
similar proceeding towards her late Plenipotentiary,
evince her decided concurrence in the policy and 1
views of her august Ally ? We cannot see how
the eitteinte cordiale can possibly be maintained if,
after the resignation of M. DROUYN DE L'Hurs,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL continues to hold a seat ii
the Cabinet, and the British Premier avows that
he would entirely violate his duty "if he stated
that all hopes of accommodation were at an end."
It is for the representatives of the several consti-
tuencies of England to say whether they will
sacrifice the Alliance with France—whether they
will disavow the manly and straightforward policy
of our magnanimous Ally, for the sake of keeping
Lord PALMERSTON in office, of retaining the valu-
able services of Sir G. C. LEwrs as Chancellor of
the Exchequer, and Sir C. WooD as First Lord of
the Admiralty ? These are important interrogations;
and much will depend on the answers that ma::
be returned thereto. It is impossible to suppose
that we can go on much longer in the course
which we have been for some time pursuing.
