LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1853.

CANNING'S famous simile of the ship is again
being illustrated. England is at last awakening
from a torpor that had the appearance of pusilla-
nimity. All the lion in her temperament is
aroused. Her dormant thunders will soup be-
come audible in the Bosphoras. Everything, in-
deed, is now jastifying to the full the accuracy of
the arguments put forward in these columns in
regard to our late diplomatic negotiations. The
justness of our opinions in reference to the Eastern
Question is being every day more and more clearly
exemplified. This, we may assuredly be per-
mitted to assert without anything at all resem-
bling vain-glorious exaggeration. It is no mere
assumption. It is a simple verity. It is proved
throughout the various phases of the Turkish dif-
ficulty—in every separate particular—in every
stage of its development. By the consistent
arrogance and the pertinacious audacity of
the AUTOCRAT ! By the unyielding resolu-
tion, and unflagging perseverance, and un-
flinching energy of the Porte ! By the insincerity
of Austria—and the indecision of Prussia—and
the vigorous promptitude of France ! Finally,
and yet more distinctly, is the fact attested by the
sudden change which has occurred in the foreign
policy of her Britannic MAJESTY'S Government.
Hitherto, we all knew that policy has been distin-
guished by its timidity and hesitation. It has
become, at length and abruptly, transformed.
Ministers are adventuring at the eleventh hour
upon the identical coarse which we have all along
maintained should have been adopted by the allies
of the SULTAN from the commencement. The
circumstance is apparent beyond the necessity of
explanation. It is apparent in the instructions
forwarded to our Ambassador at Constantinople—
in the orders transmitted to our Admiral in the
Mediterranean—in the speeches of our states-
men, and in the activity of our dockyards.
Whatever regrets we cannot but still retain
in our heart of hearts, in consequence of
the loss of invaluable time and of ines-
timable opportunities—are swallowed up, at any
rate, for the time being, by our exultation at the
change which, however tardily, has come over the
councils of our leading Administrators. We
'Waive, for a while, our heartburnings and our in-
.gnation. We turn from a paltry and degrad-
ing past to a propitious and chivalrous future.
We forget, at least for an interval, our miserable
connivance at the passage of the Pruth, in the
)satisfaction with which we observe our energetic
resolve at length upon the long-necessitated t,,
but long-procrastinated, passage of the Dardanelles.
yes—the die is indeed cast---a/ea jacta est the
Rubicon has been crossed, that Rubicon the Sea
of Marmora. There cannot any longer be uncer-
tainty, thank HEAVEN, as to the direction of the
path upon which the country, through its Cabi-
net, has adventured. It is revealed in the ampii_
intrusted to the discretion. of
tudo of the powers
Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE. It is defined by the
wording of the despatches forwarded to Admiral
DuNDAs in Besika Bay. Movements like these, ou
the part of England, were virtually promised by
the patriotic words addressed the other day to the
people of Greenock by the Leader of the House of
Commons. The chivalrous express-
edsentimentsthensineere-
echoed by Lord John RUSSELL have been
echoed throughout the land—repeated from mouth
to mouth—borne on the wings of the Press,—
inflaming the enthusiasm and re-inspiring the
hopes of the population. During the past few
days language of a similar character has been
listened to by the men of Perth from the lips of
lord PArArr,RsroN. Availing himself of a kin-
dred opportunity to that which had recently pre-
sented itself (happily not in vain) to his Minis-
terial colleague, the Home Secretary addressed
himself, on Monday, to the consideration of the
momentous difficulty now dividing the gaze of
mankind between St. Petersburg and Constanti-
nople—the question involving the alternative of
peace or war, and that alternative the interests of
civilisation.
Discredit is being thrown, nevertheless, even
now upon the -words and acts here alluded to, per-
