SLONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 8, 1858.

THE CANNING PROCLAMATION.

We must congratultte the Times on having a.
hat dipcoverecl how the CANNING proclamation
may be used to damage the Government. Yes-
terday the_ Leviathan was quite off the rails, and
inadvertently recommended the very course whict,
Ministers had decided on pursuing.

To-day it has dissevered the mistake, and so we
have an articl., deed tring that Lord CANNING'S
outrageous proclamation ought t) lot) def'ended by
Miuistev, simply because Lord CANNING
must not be attacked. It will be very
satisfactory to Lord CANNING to be now
defended by the very journal which was the firs
to run him down ; but at this his Lordshil,
will not be at all surprised, for when the Tinier
was his enemy, it was generally supposed that
Lord CANNING'S reputation was gone. The best
of prosperity is, that it brings with it the praises
of the Leviathan.

We hear a great deal said about the indis-
cretion of Mr. DISRAELI. All the of 1 Whigs, wln.
have grown grey in office, are shocked at the idea of
a Minister giving a plain answer to a plain question!
Whether Lord CANNING'S proclamation be good or
bad, just or outrageous, there was but one course
of en to Ministers, that of heaping adulation,
upon both CANNING and his proclamation. So
say the old Whigs. We are glad to find
that Mr. DISRAELI does' not entertain
such red tape notions, and that he allowed no
bureaucratic reserve to prevent him from frankly
repudiating Lord CANNING'S monstrous act of
spoliation. We should, indeed, have been humi-
liated if, even for a day, that iniquitous measure
had gone forth to Europe, ratified by the implied
sanction of her MAJESTY'S Government. As to
the notion which all the tapists, such as PANMURE,
SMITH, and WOOD, have got hold of, that Lord
CANNING'S authority will be weakened by Mr.
DISRAELI'S manly declaration, we never heard
anything more absurd. The despatch is dated
April 19th, so that it will have arrived in India,
and the proclamation will have been cancelled,
long before the Oudeans—even supposing them to
take in the Times—become aware of the censure
with which her Majesty's Government have justly
visited Lord CANNING'S intemperate policy.

The despatch in
reticence,
reference to
laid before Parlia-
ment, nceqOL7rd CANNING'S
Oude proclamation has
meta, in fulfilment of tile valenidgee gli.gvenon.

document which he had issued without the sanc-
tion or authority of the Home Government.
After the admirable speech of L. DE ABY, it
