LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1855.

On Monday evening the House of Commons
will have to arrive at an important decision—im-
portant alike to the honour and welfare of the
country, and to the reputation of the Noble
Lords and Right Honourable and Honourable
Gentlemen who may take part in the discussion
or subsequent division. Three distinct issues are
placed before them, between which they will have
to determine. There are three several claimants
for their suffrages, and the matter is materially
simplified by the fact that the questions are alto-
gether divested of a party character, that the
result cannot affect the existence of the Ministry,
or lead to the dissolution so ranch dreaded by
those who do not feel perfectly easy at the pros-
pect of meeting their constituents, and submitting
to the stringent inquiries as to their past conduct
that may possibly be instituted.
If ever there was an opportunity for recording
the unbiassed opinions of the popular represen-
tives it will be afforded on• Monday. We do
not, of course, venture to affirm that sinister
influences may not be brought into operation
that attempts may not be made to procure
converts to the " Coburg-Germanism," so strongly
and so generally condemned by the people. But
there will benoshadowof excuse foratrucklingvote.
Any man who gives one against the motion of
Mr. LOWE must be prepared to don the Musco-
vite colours—to announce his pro-Russian predi-
lections as fully as if he had joined the Manches-
ter party, and made speeches at the meetings of
the Peace Society.

The real contest will be between the proposi
tions of Sir FRANCIS BARING and Mr. LOWE.
Some plausible speeches may be made in favour
of Sir WM. HEITHCOTE'S amendment. The
Peelites, though few in numbers, have " a forty-
barrister power" of talk, nor are their new allies
of the Manchester school by any means deficient
in what is popularly termed "the gift of gab !"
We shall, of course, have Sir JAMES GRAHAM
and Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT—possibly Mr. GLAD-
STONE may again put in his word—and Sir W/.1.
HEATHCOTE, the proposer of the amendment.
Mr. CARDWELL, Mr. MONCKTON MILNES, and
some of the most efficient orators of the
party will also speak. Messrs. MILNER GIB-
SON, BRIGHT, and COBDEN, as well as
some of the minor luminaries of the Peace-at-any-
Price party will not give silent votes. But, al-
though there will be many speakers, there will be
but few voters, and should a division be taken,
as we trust there may be, there will be but a
scanty minority on the side of the members for
the once chivalrous University of Oxford. We
are anxious for the division that it may be fully
known who may be trusted. " Foenum, habet in
cornu" will be proclaimed respecting every voter
for Sir WILLIAM HEATHCOIE and his party.

But, unless a compromise be effected there will
be a sharp contest between Sir F. BARING and
Mr. LowE. The Right Honourable Baronet
wishes to leave every thing in the hands of Mi-
nisters, still to pursue the same course that has
already led to so many disastrous results. He
seems to think that we should even yet wait
for Austria—should continue the solemn
mockery of negotiation, and wilfully close
our eyes to the duplicity, treachery, and
faithlessness of our soi-disant Ally. "Do not in-
terfere with the Executive" is the convenient
creed of Sir
F. BARING, and it scarcely neces-
sary to say how energetically the doctrine will be
supported by all
the
"waiters on PROVIDENCE,'
and all the Ministerial
toadies. "We must make
every allowance for the difficulties of the position
of the young EMPEROR r' " Must avoid precipi-
tating matters, lest Austria, should cast her weight
into the adverse scale r, Such are the arguments
which will be advanced by those Who desire to
afford that selfish and truckling Power a loophole
by which she may wriggle out of her engagements,
and evade the performance of her express promises.
It is, however, by no means a dignified policy,
nor do we believe that it has even expediency jto
recommend it. We are thoroughly convinced that
nothing can produce an honourable or permanent
peace save the appearance of the most inflexible
resolution on the part of the Western Powers. It
is that stern
simplicity of language, that unequi-
vocal abnegation of diplomatic slang that brings
of our transatlantic brethren
to so speedy a conelll4 •
ou. They invariably " call
