noble lords, especially Lord Palmerston,
strenuous effort to obtain much better
peace, but were over-ruled bya large majorityof
Cabinet. And we can further state, with thL. m
utmost confidence, that, so far from being gratified
at the acceptance by Russia of the Austrian ulti-
matum, Lord Palmerston shares the almost uni-
versal feeling of the country on the subject—which
is one of deep regret that the -war-was not allowed

to go on for another season, ,inasmuch as, with the
enormous force, both by sea and land, which we
possess, we should have completely crushed Russia,

virtue of the fifth resolution,, which reserves to the
Allies the right of making any supplementary con-
ditions they choose—to extort such terms from the
Czar as will so effectually diminish his power, and
destroy his prestige, as to' 'Mike peace at once
honourable, safe, and permanent. The nation
looks to him alone. A. heavy responsibility, there-
fore, rests on the Noble Lord. And deplorable
will be the results to his own reputation, as well
as disastrous to the country, should be not deter-
min-on exacting from Russia, before he consents
to peace;far more stringent terms than those which
are embraced in the Vienna Propositions.
Another of the rumours which are just now in
circulation is one to the effect, that the Western
Powers have intimated to Austria their willingness
to agree at once to an armistice. we cannot believe
this. It is impossible that Lord Palmerston
should consent to anything of the kind. If he
were to do so, his doom would sae sealed within a
few days of the reassembling of Parliament. Such'
a step would inspire a feeling of ungovernable in-
dignation throughout the land. It ;would be re-
garded as a deliberate betrayal of the country.
With regird to Louis Napoleon, we are told, in
a telegraphic communication whichl we received at
a late hour last night, that he has actually agreed
to an armistice. This is given us as a fact, but we
cannot vouch for its being so. Even in France,
lwliere no representative • Government exists, and
where- all depends on the will of one man, we can
hardly think that he would attempt so daring an
experiment on public endurance at present ; but,
whether it bo so or not, Lord Palmerston knows
his on n position and the state of public feeling in
England too well, to listen for a moment to so
monstrous and perilous a proposition as that for
an armistice. He knows that there must be no
cessation, not for one instant, to the war, nor to
the preparations for carrying it on with increased
vigour, until satisfactory conditions of peace have
received the signature of the Czar, and adequate
guarantees been given that the conditions of peace
so agreed upon will be faithfully fulfilled.
If Louis Napoleon chooses to agree to an ar-
mistice, he must be allowed to do so alone, and at
his own risk. Lord Palmerston is the constitu-
tional Minister of a free country, and he will be no
sharer in the guilt and peril of assenting to an
armistice in the present state of affairs.
