without entertaining sentiments of profound and un-
utterable disgust. Nor can we regard ourselves as
isolated in so thinking—no inconsiderable proportion
of the community looking with equal Lbhorrence
upon the policy of ABERDEN, and with equal satis•
faction upon the policy of PALMERST:YN.
The condition of our foreign relations at this mo-
ment is of itself a sufficient testimony, we should
imagine, of the skill evinced in the con-
duct of his department by the Noble
Viscount her MAJESTY'S Foreign Secretary. After a
prolonged movement of a revolutionary character
throughout the European continent, England has,
under his guidance, still contrived to maintain an atti-
tude at once pacific and conciliatory, the arbiter, to a
very considerable extent, of the fate of the nations of
Christendom. France has been enabled, unobstructed,
to work out her own destinies internally, and to test
to their very uttermost the strength of her republican
institutions. Schleswig has been awed into tran-
quillity at last, after proving the battle-field for
so long a time of the forces of Denmark, and of the
military adventurers of Germany. Spain has been
permitted to arrange her own difficulties in the Hall
of the Cortes and in the Cabinet of the Palace, without
hindrance or molestation ; and if Portugal was once
interfered with, she has been since abandoned to the
wishes of her own population. Notwithstanding
a multitude of scarcely resistible temptations,
we have been kept unembroiled either with Austria
or with Russia, while war has raged in Hungary and
in Lombardy, in most of the principalities of the
KAISER, and more or less throughout the length and
breadth of the Roman peninsula. All this has been
accomplished, moreover, by the very statesman who
has so long been scouted as a firebrand, and whose
name has by some been regarded as synonymous with
bloodshed and devestation ! Meanwhile, with a stern
hand and an inflexible will he has upon all occasions
extorted compensation to the majesty of England
when the rights of English citizenship have been any-
where disregarded. It was thus that he acted in re-
ference to the affairs of Greece in the instance which
drew from the House of Commons his greatest and
purest triumph over opposition. Yet this is the
statesman miserable conspirators for office would
remove from the Foreign Department of the Adminis-
tration for the purpose of inducting into his place the
Under-Secretary of M. GUIZOT and the political toady
of Louis PIIILIPFE

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The anniversary of the revolution of the 24th
February had passed off quietly.
There was a procession of students from the Place
de l'Ecole de Medicine to the column of the I3astile ;

the column, and then quietly dispersed.
The Univers, the organ of the parti petre, is re-
joicing at the downfall of the Russet]. Ministry,
which it declares to be a judgment of PROVIDENCE o❑
it for resisting Papal aggression, and looks forward to
the inauguration of a new Foreign Minister, who will
co-operate w ith "the friends of order" in Europe, that
is to say, who will sacrifice English to Austrian
interests, and bow to the yoke of Rome.
The threatened persecution by the parti pretre has
commenced. M. MICIIELRT, the author of the
" Life of Luther," is to be dismissed from the Pro-
fessorship of History in the University of France,
and the persons who dismiss him, solely on account ot
his religious opinions, are the very persons who de-
clare that Catholics are persecuted in this country be-
cause they are, in common with the rest of her MA-
JESTY'S subjects, prevented from assuming territorial
titles not beito wed by her .MAJESTY.
