the result of the appeal to the new Parliament may easily be
foreseen. He cannot pretend that he, or that any one of
his
party, can foresee anything but defeat. The dtlay, th,n, for
the decision of the new Parliament, and the announced in-
tention of bringing the whole new policy of Whi,g. Radical:sna
under Parliamentary review, before a resignation takes
place, is evidently an impudent and profligate design of
retaining the advantages and emoluments of office after
all constitutional right to them has passed away. It is an
indecent clutching at the last remnants of possible gain, which
must be quite disgusting to every man of just principle and
elevated feeling. It is the policy of mean avarice, combined
with low cunning, for of course it must be no inconsiderable
embarrassment to those leading men who cannot but under.

new Parliament is obtained, that their arrangements are post.
pond to the latest minute, and that a Session of Parliament
beginning at the close of the month of August, must be so long
occupied with that which is virtually decided already. Since
it is the .ntention of the beaten Ministers to meet Parliament,
they must of course prepare an address, and under such cir-
cumstances we suppose the majority will deem it consistent
with the respectful duty which they owe the Crown to signify
by a very strong amendment what they think of the conduct of
Ministers in continuing to hold office after the reprimand they
received from the late House of Commons—a reprimand which
they cannot have the smallest scintilla of a hope will be re-
scinded by the present House. Lord John Russell flippantly
says, that it was difficult to refute the arguments which Minis-
ters brought forward in support of their new policy, but easy
to misconstrue their motives. As to the latter, they can only
be inferred from acts ; and, certainly, when we compare and
analyse facts, and when we consider the perpetual recurrence of
discreditable shifts and expedients by which the present Minis-
ters, even when ignominiously beaten, contrive to stick to office,
even the meat charitable may well be led to the conclusion
that the meanest and most sordid motives must actuate the men
who fall into such practices. As to the arguments used by Mi-
nisters in support of their new policy, there was, at all event!,
no difficulty in finding as complete a refutation as Whig-Rada-
cal ingenuity could supply. It was only necessary to refer to
the debates of last year when Lord John Russell and his col-
leagues opposed the very policy which now they recommend
GLOBE.—The insatiable appetite for office under
which the Tory party had so long yearned, becomes, as
the period approaches for their expected gorge, more and
more ravenous. The Conservative camp is just now in a
state comparable only to that of Wombwelt's caravan a
little before feeding time, and it really requires that a
political Van Amburg should be sent among the wild
beasts to place a check upon their ferocious rapacity.
Before the body of the Ministry is defunct, the lions of
Toryism are for pouncing on its component parts ; and
already are the limbs of office bespoke for the various
members of the howling and hungry monopolist mena-
gerie. Unfortunately, however, the available supply
will not be at all commensurate to the tremendous na-
ture of the demand, and there is not an official mouthful
to be bestowed that has not at least half-a-dozen would-
be official mouths to snap at it. That there should be a
lion's share would be all very well, if there were but one
lion waiting to take it ; but while there are so many,
sporting at least the skin of that noble beast, it is not likely
his share will be resigned without a considerable deal of
roaring and braying among the numerous pretenders to the
spolia opima of the Treasury. It is already evident that
the Tory banque t will scarcely have commenced before
there will be, in many cases, two or more with " a bone
to pick" between them. The specimen of agreement given
by the Conservatives, in their notions of how the booty
in prospect ought to be distributed, may be taken as a
very fair sample of their general unanimity. If the wishes
of the party could be gratified, it would seem that we
should have almost as many Tory Cabinets as there are
Tory newspapers. Each journal would have a separate
list, in pursuance of the desire of the particular section
whose sentiments it speaks, for it is clear that the occa
sional concord of the Conservative press is not the rule,
but the exception, to their general sentiment. The
Times of one day will contradict the Standard of the
preceding night, and the Herald of this morning will
run rudely against the Post of yesterday—in fact,
though two negatives are said to make an affirmative, it
will be difficult, when there are four of the former, to
arrive speedily at the latter.
COURIER.—Some days ago we communicated to the
public the principal object of King Leopold's unexpec-
ted visit to this country. That object, briefly, was to
negotiate for dispensing with a fulfilthent of certain
stipulations contracted at the time of his accession
for dismantling those extensive fortresses and forti-
fications which Belgium, with its inadequate re-
sources and lessened population, as compared with the
former kingdom of the Netherlands of which' it consti-
tuted part, was manifestly unequal to garrison or defend
in case of war or aggression, or even to support
the charges necessary to peace establishment duties,
To those stipulations France, the power more directly
interested, and against whom indeed the precaution was
directed, was, with other Powers, a consenting party ;
and it was at the suggestion of Louis Philippe, on the
part of France, that Leopold's mission was under-
taken. It is not requisite to recapitulate now the grave
objections to which the proposed annihilation of the im-
portant conditions of the treaty in question was liable, le
suffices, in justice to Lord Palmerston, to say, that, ass
understood in well informed quarters, lie has refused to
be a consenting. party to the new arrangement or modi,
fications which have been brought forward, and, there-
fore, as we believe, the project is dropped, for the pm_
sent, at least.

STANDAHD.—There is one person in the realm,
and that the highest person, whom it surely concerns, to
give due consideration to the anomalous state of the Go_
vernment—a Government carried on in defiance of a
vote of Parliament, now, it is confessed, cert!.,:in to be
ratified by the vote of the people--carried on too, it
must be plain, with no other motive than the wretched.
love of salary and patronage, for a few weeks or
months, or a determination to create embarrassments for
a future Administration, It is impossible to 6uppose
' that our high-minded and generous Queen can own
any smpathy with the former and meaner motive, stilt less
can we believe her capable of countenancing the more
malignant purpose. It never can be the interest
of a British sovereign, still less can it be the wish,
of such a Princess as she under whose sceptre
it is the pride and happiness of Englishmen to live,
to create difficulties for ter own Government, as such
difficulties must always result in injury to' her people.
It has been well observed by a Ministerial Journal
of this morning, that it is the province of the Queen to determine by whom she will be advised, and that,
until her Majesty's personal decision has been made
public, it is premature and impertinent to offer
opinions upon her choice, This rule is of universal
application : it concerns Ministers actually in office,
upon a new state of' affairs, as well as Ministers ex-
pectant. The present is a case for her Majesty's
own unbiassed judgment—upon her, at this moment,
devolves the power of the whole Legislature, as
respects the choice of an Administration. All that
she knows from the other two branches of the
sovereignty and from the people is this, that those per--
sons who now hold office are unworthy to retain it. In
such circumstances—we say it with the deepest feeling
of affectionate loyalty—the Queen is called upon to put
an end at once to the unconstitutional anomaly of an ad-
ministration continuing in office though repudiated by
the Houses of Parliament and by the nation. The
ease is one for independent action, if regard be had to
what is due to the dignity of the Crown. Her Majesty
knows that by the constitution, of which she is the
guardian, the advisers of the Crown ought to possess the
confidence of the Parliament and of the people ; she
knows, from the records of Parliament, that her present
advisers had lost that confidence more than three months
ago: she knows now, from the admission of one of her prin-
cipal secretaries, that they have lost it irrecoverably.,
l)oes it then become her to continue these condemned
Ministers—ta countenance, as if she were really no more
that one of themselves, a course of dilatory and vexatious
litigation, the end of which is nothing more respectable
than to retain salary and patronage to the last possible
moment, and then to leave a legacy of difficulty to her
future servants ? Is this to support the transcendant
dignity of the British Crown ?
