THE LATE ATTACK 1.8:44
GOVERNMENT.
A FRENCHMAN'S OPIN
The result of the late debate in the (liouskAnz
Lords seems to have highly interested people holt.
Many anticipated the defeat of Lord Palmerston',
who, with all his popularity, could not, they
thought, resist the combined assault of Tories, Ra-
dicals, and " economists," Others, and these were
few, were convinced that he would weather this
storm, as he has already weathered so many others.
But neither the many nor the few could conceal their
admiration at the masterly manner in which he dc-
fettled his opponents. Among the latter is tho
writer of the ehronigue in the _Revue des tux
blondes, who, after relating what took place that'
aßaei‘dvilldhearteLd
evening, when Lord l',llmerston proposed his ow a
amendment, "which involved the existence of the •
rp:ii•ieicinutlletfrrool

Cabinet," goes on to ;say :

humour, the great
political rent. His very adversaries, and they

Caensay that the mere perusal of his speech canru.t

equal to Mr. Disraeli in struggling N;rith a stout heart
against ill fortune. It is in desperate sitoations that ho
most surpasses himself. Like those Generally who never
have more clearness and presence of mind th,311 in the
heat of battle, it is in moments of confusion an,i disap-
pointment, when others are completely discouraged, that
the resources of his talents are most displayed. He must
been that night in the vein which he has described
in
one of his novels, which, in fact, describes himself, where
IYriam, and irony are uppermost in him, when the intoxica-
tion of Avild laughter gets into his brain, when everything
takes in his imagination emnical grimaces, when he most
freely turns himself and all abt;At him into ridicule. After
an opening very firm, very serious, and a little philosophic,.
when he explained with elevated rease2 s the true causes of
the • greatness of England, his gaiety commenced. Ho
played with the long drawn out figures of the budget like a
juggler, he tore to pieces in the most amusing manner, while
throwing right and left every sort of caricature, th,.ll3l°ti°ll
of Mr. Stansfeld, the amendments of the other men:xbers,,
and that of Lord Palmerston. His last sketches, the m9st
comical of all, were reserved for his lieutenant, his candid
friend, Mr. Walpole. Calling to mind all of a sudden that
the following was the Derby day, he wished that his auditors
should not experience the saerte disappointment which he
himself felt, and that their favourites should not bolt. lit
any other country such a scene, crooned with so gallant
an harangue, would be equivalent to the- breaking up of a
party. We hope it will net be thus in Eng-land. On the
eve of the Derby, when the favourite horses .4isaPPointed
so many people, the amusing ill-humour of Mr. Disraeli
against Mr. Walpole could be treated with indulgence. After
all, the.gaiety of Mr. Disraeli was more amusing than venom-
ous. It exhibits one of the features of the strong and origi-
nal individuality with all the charm of talent, as well as a;
great self.command and an invincible energy of resolution.
Lord Palmers' on and Mr. Disraeli are the two most curious
figures in the English Parliament, The Tory party will not
abandon the leader to whom it owes its Ye-organisation and
its progress. As a matter of course the ma: question at issue
disappeared in this strange skirmish. The English have a
horror of discussing in their Chambers what th..lY call ab-
stract questions. The motion of Mr. Stansfeld, 'no longer
supported by the prospect of Mr. Walpole's amendL-eent,
had the unpardonable fault df being merely an abstr,Aet
question. Behold, then, Lord Palmerston in all the triumph
of a vote of confidence, which the Opposition did not dis-
pute with him, and, according to Mr. Bright, Dictator for
some months. Nevertheless, the question of armaments
and economy is not for ever interred. Lord Palmerston
must introduce some in the next Budget, otherwise he wilt
have to :mount with determined adversaries. Messra.
Disraeli, Bright, and Cobden are not men to give up for
a defeat. While Mr. Disraeli brought the queetion before
Parliament several weeks since, Mr. Cobden raised it in the
press with his elaborate pamphlet, The .Three.Pantes, which
M. Xavier Raymond, himself a master on the question of
armaments, has translated for the great advantage of this
French public. The coalition, for which the Tories were
not prepared a few evenings since, is always possible for
the future. Mr. Bright and Mr. Cobden have made
significant advances in this sense. In the curious sitting
of the 3d of June one of them declared that he was ready to
vote for the judicious' motion of Mr. Walpole. The other
repeated that he bad acted wisely in remainng neuter be-
tween the Whigs and T, ries, and in accepting free trade
from the latter. It was equivalent to saying that economy
with a Tory Ministry appeared to him to be preferable to
armaments with a Liberal Cabinet."
