LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 24, 1855.

We are heartily glad to see Mr. LAYARD in
vigorous and uncompromising opposition to all
the misdoings, and omissions to do, of our self-

chosen governors. His, speech at Liverpool does
the highest honour to his patriotism and sound
common sense. We only hope he will act in
Parliament worthily of his convictions--that be
will give notices and act on them. He showed
in his impassioned appeal last Friday to the lead-
ing merchants of Liverpool that he was thoroughly
aware of the disgraceful nature of the proposals
which were the basis of the Vienna Conference ;
and he denounced as cruelty as well as folly a
war which was to end in such extravagant conces_
sions to Russian and Austrian despotism. He
gave also, from personal knowledge; a withering
description of the miserable incompetency of the
officials in our Foreign-office, and the ineptness of
our Ambassador at Vienna. Indeed a more
damning exposure of our Government and

its naval and military servants we have not
read of late. He says that the House of
Commons must assert its power and demand,
ere it is too late, a thorough-going reform of the
whole machinery of State. Let him, then, lead
the van, let him throw himself upon the people.
His views have been applauded by them every-
where ; he sees that he has but spoken out what
all hearts are full of. Let him head a movement

in which he it sure to be supported ; let him ap-
peal to the nation if the House of Commons will
not adequately back him, and he will become to
our Foreign policy what COBDEN was to Free
Trade. If Parliament were dissolved he would
supersede Mr. _COBDEN as the West Riding mem-
ber for the wants of the present time.
We suppose most of our readers, even such as
might chance to differ from us, are now of one
opinion about the value, rather we should say,
the transparent , roguery, of. tho Four Point-,.
None can doubt now the infernal complicity ci
Austria with Russia. The Moniteur has told us,
with authority, what doubtless the Coburgs would
have better liked untold, that owing to Austria
we dared not -advance on the Danube ; Lord JOHN
has told us that waiting on her delayed the expe-
dition
to Sebastopol. Correspondence has told us
that her brutal officers are murdering the wives
of Moldavians, stabbing the remonstrant hus-
bands, and fighting with the unarmed inhabitants
till driven out of Bucharest by arms furnished by
despair. The Conference has told us that she has
struggled to dissever her policy from that of the
Allies ever since the specially Austrian, Points
were agreed to, it being now quite evident that
she will never spend a kreutzer, or sacrifice a sol-
dier, to fight against her brother despot. And this,
Englishmen ! this, is the scoundrel power to
which a Belgian Coburg is married, and with

which the Allies continue to coquet up to this
date. It is' enough to make any honest man's
blood curdle in his veins to think of the miseries
entailed on us by this accursed diplomacy. Aus-
tria is the foe of the Allies—the murderer of their
troops. She it is who prevented their advance to
Bessarabia and Odessa, who delayed their attempt
on Sebastopol till the season made it dangerous,
and who then liberated Russian "reinforcements
freal the Danube,".to march through the Odessa
we
had spared, and who thus almost directly mur-
