LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, 1856.

Mr. MOORE'S motion has been negatived by a
very decided majority. Two hundred and seventy-
four Right Honourable and Honourable Gentle-
men rallied around the Ministerial standard, and
assoilzied the Government from the charge so
earnestly preferred against them. But there
were many causes leading to this result. It was
not because the representatives of the English
people approved either of the Foreign Enlistment
Bill, which must inevitably have caused mischief,
or that they considered that an essentially vicious
principle was iu auy degree ameliorated by the
manner in which it was carried into practical
execution, that they rejected the motion by a
majority so overwhelming. The decision was
produced by the quarter from whence the move-
ment originated. Had a partly leader put for-
ward the resolution it would have had much
greater support. But Mr. MOORE is an inde-
pendent Member. He could not have formed a
new Cabinet in the event of success. There were
no combinaticns prepared, and therefore even
those who concurred in the opinions so ably and
eloquently put forward by the Hen. Gentleman
felt themselves justified in recording their votes
against a proposition of which they fully approved.
The Hon. Gentleman, the Member for Mayo,
however, acted rightly in forcing on the discussion,
notwithstanding the solicitations and exhortations
to which he was exposed from every quarter of
the House. He found an opportunity for him-
self, in accordance with the sarcastic advice of the
Premier, and while acknowledging the weight that
should be accorded to the opinion of Mr. SPOONER,
on' any subject, but more especially on that, de-
precating anything that could excite and
disunion among various classes, sects, and com-
munities, declined to follow his earnest recom.
mendation. For this independent and straight-
forward course Mr. MOORE is entitled to the
thanks and gratitude of the Community, the more
so, because he has proved that there is outside
the red- tapist limits a man who can hold his
ground with the practised debaters of any party,
aye " by'r Lady," and get the best of the wordy
warfare. Had Mr. GLADSTONE brought forward
the motion—and he could not have done it
more clearly and eloquently—Mr. MOORE would
have given a straightforward vote in support of
the proposition of which he conscientiously ap-
proved.: It is only a Right Honourable Gentle-
man that could so clearly illustrate the difference
between "swings and doings," and so readily
speak on one side, and vote on the other.

We cannot perceive the distinction attempted
to be made by the' Cabinet at Washington, and
by some Honourable Gentlemen in the House of
Commons between the conduct of the British Go-
vernment and of their accredited Minister, Mr.
CRAMPTON. Both are right, or both are wrong.
The Envoy honestly and conscientiously carried
out hiainstructions, and should not be made the
scap4goat to justify the sins of others. He was
ordered to procure recruits, correctly, if possible,
but at all events to obtain them. The law, and
we may add the practice of tho United States,
jusified the
.attempt. There were filibusters and
sympathiserS, and ,all who'were ready to coin their
blood into ,he,,alatiglity dollera. No difficulty
Lad ever before:. been experienced.
u -lin obtaining
men for megeyi and Mi. CRAIiPTOI
could scarcely
have supposed that the electioneering exigencies I
of the actual and candidate President would have
rendered such a step advisable. He therefore, like a
faithful servant, obeyed orders--gave the requisite
information so tong as -the Britfsh Government
instructed him to do so--and discontinued it at
the earliest possible moment. Lord CLARENDON
adopted all his ,acts, and placed himself and his
colleagues "in the same boat -deeply in-
jured officio. .7115 mischief was occasionvi

the sinister influence that advocated the forma-
tion of a German Legion, and, no matter what
may be the strategetical exigencies of Ministers or
of opposition, we shall always strive to have "the
saddle placed on the right herse," and not to
have an innocent man sacrificed to expediency.
As we have stated, the division does not repre-
sent the feeling of the country. Every true-
hearted Englishman feels that the Government
was, in the first instance, wrong in trespassing on
such debateable ground—that the original
ground of quarrel—the teterrima causa belli
—should have been carefully eschewed, but
that having made every possible amends for
that grievous error, the Cabinet at Washing-
ton should not have been permitted with im-
punity to make political capital at the expense
of British honour or British interests.

The Western Powers are losing—are they not
1 —day by day, the most golden opportunities.
They are unfaithful, we cannot but think, to the
prerogatives of their great Alliance. Has not every
one amongst us hitherto imagined that—united—
England and France might absolutely do any-
thing ? Yet we have seen them knit together for
three years most intimately by the bonds of an
Alliance heretofore undreamt of, identified first of
all in a war policy,_ and then again in a peace
policy, now shedding their heart's blood side by
side in the Campaigns of the Crimea, and now
dribbling their diplomatic ink over parchment in
the Paris Conferences—and yet just nothing,
comparatively nothing, coming of it all—nothing,
at any rate, in any particular, at all worthy of
the combined influences capable of being exercised
by Gaul and Britain together over the destinies
of Christend9.
NAPOLEON and VICTORIA wielding in unison
the powers of the two great nations of which
they are the beloved and chosen Sove-
reigns, might have been yesterday, we do solemnly
believe, had they so willed, they might actually
be to-day, they might still be to-morrow, the
arbiters, under GOD, of those great destinies,
the destinies of Christendom ! Instead of
which they are merely assuming to themselves
places upon the dead level of the monarchs of
Europe. They are consenting, we cannot but
think, with the most insensate precipitation, to
descend from their "high estate" as the allied
chiefs of the two races in the van of modern
civilisation. They are allowing the otherwise
inevitable supremacy of their friendship to dege-
nerate into that vulgar equality of princely rights
and privileges, which results as a necessity from
any ordinary pact among the herd of potentates
whose names are inscribed upon the holy and
awful bead-roll of the Alrmanach de Gotha.

England and France in this way are losing
their prestige at once upon the European and
Asiatic Continents. They are allowing the glory
of their Alliance to be eclipsed. They are wil-
fully and perversely throwing away, as we hare
s:tid, the most golden opportunities.
Russia, instead of being humbled by them
after her most criminal violation of the peace
of the world, is permitted to make her own
terms according to her own pleasure.
Austria, instead of being in any way punished
fur her despicable evasion of all participation,
direct or indirect, in the recent struggle between
Right and Might in the Crimea, is admitted at
once unconditionally to a share in the Imperial
ant ferences.

Prussia, after meanly turning a dishonest penny
or two while the contist was going on, when that
oolitic: is at length brought to a precipitate con-
clusion, takes her old accustomed place, as a mat-
ter of right, at the Royal Board of Green Cloth—
and, in a pleasant partie ear& with England,
France, and Austria (hobnobbing the while over
a glass dear to the lips of King CLIQuoT) turns
up an unexpeoted trump in the last deal, winning
somehow (certainly not by honours) the anal trick
—sweeping off in that trick the gagen of Hearts in
the fair form of the eldest of our girl-Princesses !
As to the lesser Powers of Europe—A.ye all
know, alas ! how they have recently been aban-
doned almost entirely to .the chances of fortune
by the do-nothing Alliance of the Western Powers,
the laissez faire friendship of France and England.

Eight years ago, when these two mighty races
of the West were not allied thus inti uateiy, and
when, from the circumstanee of their not being
so allied, their capacity for good or evil was, of
course, very seriously crippled—F.4nglancl and
Prance alike betrayed an ex.traordinary readiness
to assist all kinds of straggling nationalities.
Don't we all very well remember it ? Can-
not we call to recollection the thpu-
tations that waited upon M. DE L teu.A.r.TINT, at
the Hotel de Tulle? Have we not a still vivid
memory of certain Quixotic vagaries of my L srd
Morro in the Roman Peninsula ? Then, in tha t
year of beautiful but fatal illusions, lures and
baits of all kinds were held' out--;lore by the
wandering Lord Privy Seal, there by the poetic
revolutionist—to the disaffected peoples of the
north, of the south, of the east, of the west, here,
there, and everywhere throughout Christendom.
Yet England and France, in all these particulars,
were really and actually in 1848 little less than
utterly powerless. Now, when the tables have
been turned effectually by their clo-se and inti-
mate Alliance with each other, now when their
combined will, if they so pleased, would be in a
manner all-powerful, now in 1856, upon thes3
matters of vital import to the nations they have
not one syllable to say for themselves ! Not a
whisper of hope to Poland ! - Not a word of en-
couragement to Itilyl Not-one sympathetic as-
piration for the Hungarians.! The destinies
of Spain are allowed still, to tremble
precariously upon the uncertain life of
A valitudinarian. The future of Greece is
abandoned to this very hour to the caprices of a
vain and frivolous Faineant—apparent caprices,
which are, in reality, but the transparent screen
employed by the ambition of a wily and intrigu-
ing Consort. And England and France, all this
time ? Not, observe, NAPOLEON and VICTORIA,
but England and France—hOw about them all
this time ? Quousque tandem, abut&e ? Are they
dumb ? Or will the murder "out at last "---the
----
Murder of European Liberty" . though it have
no tongue," will it speak- yet with " must mira-
culous organ ?"

The increasing interest felt by the public in the
condition and prospects of India has just been
marked by the projection of a new and important
Company under the. Limited Liability Act, to be
called "The Indian Mere tntile Agency Limited."
The olject of the Company is the promotion and
extension of Indian commerco, to be effected after
this fashion : The Company will not act as mer-
chants or bankers, but as agents, and in that ca-
pacity will undertake the management, purchase,
or sale of goods and property of all kinds for third
Parties ; make advances on goods and raw mate-
rial—in short, will conduct tbe business of Indian
agency in all its branches.. The capital is fixed
at 4000,0001., divided into 50,000 shares of
201. leacb, -upon which a deposit of 5/. per share
is to_ be Paid in advance. The course proposed',

be established at the Indian sea-ports, which,
whin their success is confirmed, will become
the ;inks between the Association in London
and agencies to be gradually extended into the
interior of India, the Association fixing on the
most favourable localities, and selecting agents
every way adapted for their office. Of the neces-
sity for an association of this sort, those who are
acquainted with the want of enterprise displayed
by native bankers and agents, notwithstanding
the immense resources of the country, can best
judge, and the nature of their verdict will not
admit of doubt. The grand development India
is undergoing would, however, of itself, more than
warrant the formation of agencies on an extensive
scale. To railroads, highways, canals, tkc., must
succeed a vast increase of trade, if the requisite
capital and enterprise be forthcoming. Under
these circumstances " The Indian Mercantile
Agency Limited," projected to supply an admitted
want, at a peculiarly favourable period, and
pledging itself to prudence in its operations, seems
to us well deserving of favourable consideration
by the public, to whose notice we therefore recom-
mmid it. It ought to succeed ; and if it does so,
as we anticipate, it will be productive of great
advantages both here and in India.

THE ENTRY OF THE GUARDS INTO
LONDON.

We can positively state, on the best authority, that
up to a late hour this afternoon, no orders have been
given by the Queen as to the day on which the Brigade
of Guards are to enter London.

The Scots Fusileers bare been, telegraphed at the
War Department as being in the Channel.
It is not yet definitely arranged at which of the
stations on the South• Western Railwaythe Brigade will
arrive, but in official quarters it is expected that the
Nine Elms station at Vauxhall will be the one selected.
