LONDON, MONDAY JULY 23, 1849.

Our expressions of confidence in the statesmanship
of her MAJESTY'S Foreign Secretary were nobly
justified on Saturday. At the very time our eulo-
giums on the policy of Lord PALMERSTON were pre-
paring for publication, that distinguished Minister
was pronuncing his opinion as to the injustice of the
Russo-Austrian war against the Hungarians, and he
did so in a manner such as must effect in an extra-
ordinary degree the conduct of that :nost atrocious
adventurer of Despotism. His language was worthy
at once of himself and of the occasion. As the Node
Lord the representative of Alarylebone well observed,
the sperch of the Foreign Secretary did him great
honour, and would only increase that popularity
which he at present enjoyed in this country and
throughout Eunpe. It was the , manifesto of
a wise and sagacious, and yet at the same
time of a brave and chivalrous Adminis-
tration. While disclaiming altogether any senti-
ment approaching to that of hostility, in refer-
ence to the Austrian Government—while insisting,
indeed, that the preservation of the empire founded
by RUDOLPH in its original integrity and pristine
vigour was to the interest of all the nations of Chris-
tendom—Lord PALMERSTON, nevertheless, boldly and
indignantly repudiated, on the part of the English

These formed the really dangerous features of the opera-
tions, for where vast bodies of spectators are assembled
together it is difficnit to keep them in order, or to set
bounds to their curiosity. One of the mines exploded con-
taining about 6001 b. of powder, and so great was the desire
to be near when this v. st mass was ignited, that there was
the greatest difficulty in keeping the crowd within the
proper limits. The only accident of a serious kind which
occurred throughout the day arose from a body of ma-
rines having in the hurry of the attack placed themselves
within a few feet! of a mine just as it was about to be
sprung. They were covered with the mud and clods
thrown up, and one poor fellow had his leg broken in the
confusion which followed. The Marquis of Anglesea
and several officers of the staff were also very close to
the mine at the moment, but experienced no personal
harm.
At the close of the operations the troops returned to
their barracks, their bands playing " God save the
Queen." The spectators returned to their homes,
profoundly impressed with the idea that they now
knew what siege operations really are, and that no
pyrotechnic exaggeration can represent them half so
formidable as they really are.
