cis e probable issue of the Vienna Conference can be
little else than' constructive reasoning on certain este-

the utmost secrecy; and such is the effect of the habit 25 50

sself-control which long official experience engenders
"t nothing ever escapes from men in, power, 2b
light in the heat of debate, calculated to throw St.
Ight on any proceeding in which they may be en-
St
gaged. The Government has, however, lately
taken into its ranks the accomplished son of a departed
statesman, with whom reserve has not yet become a 25
second nature; and it will be in your recollection .3t.
tbat in his address to the electors of Tamwortb, a St.
W weeks ago, he spoke of • the reconstruction of 10
4,oland as an event which he hoped might grow out of St
:tue present state of European affairs. To this speech 10
Commons,
attention of the Premier was called in the House of ,g
and it was not to be expected that Lord Pal- kerston should either condemn that speech, which
W°llld have been tantamount to a public rebuke of his
Whlecolleague, or that he should express his approval of it,
/lich Would have committed the Cabinet to the prin-
thciple it iavolved. He accordingly did neither. We think
e however, not unreasonable to assume, that had
noble Piemier entertained sentiments of an
auverse character he would, at least, have requested the
34'0
cog' baronet, privately, not to make an y furte
leference to such topics. When, therefore, we find hihm,r I°l9 Wednesday last, availing himself of the occasion of
tl,lBa delivering a lecture at the Marylebone Institution on
g Poets of Great Britain, to recur to the cr
construction of Poland, are we not justified in
te:aeluding that such views cannot be inimical
the the sentiments of his chief, uncanvassed by
Government
Cabinet, or regarded as improbable by the
overnment ? If these things be do, it follows that a
I,4c,ifie termination of the Vienna Conference is not an- '
St
c'Pated by those who atone in this country are capable 50
t°rtoing an opinion on the point. The words of Sir 40
ha °"ert Peel, to which we refer, are these :--` The time 25
hs arrived when we must avenge the crimes committed 25 ?" the late and previous Czars. . . . I regret that St
4e noble lord (Dudley Stuart) should have died just 25
a time when there seems taube a chance for the noble 412
I'°ligh
nation to recover that freedom and national rode- `t
St
taken which are its birthright.' The foregoing remark
:ca in connection with our reasons informer circulars,s
50 2
aithe isolation of Prussia, appear to us to derive some
o—„uitional force from the following extract from one of
see newspapers :—` In consequence of counter orders E,
ieived en route, General Wedell has returned to Ber- 2(
to Pass the Easter holidays. He is afterwards to
Veceed direct!y to his post at Luxembourg. M. de g
thsedorn is also expected from London.' If correct—and
Ze i°ornal from which it is taken is always remarkably
eurate in its foreign intelligence—it would seem that e cf' -
gotiations 'with Prussia are at an end—her isola-
