THE SUN.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1859

Her MATESTT'S Ministers will be held sternly re-
sponsible for their policy in regard to the San Juan
Question.' They have, by foregoing the half-pro-
mised and speciously vaunted Autumnal Session,
enhanced upon this, as upon many other difficulties,
the heavy weight of their own responsibilities. For
the course they shall pursue during the still pend-
ing recess or long vacation they will be severely
and searchingly answerable in
_February, before
Parliament.

The intelligence brought to us from the opposite
shores of the Atlantic by our last advices from the
United States not unnaturally tends to render us
more and more solicitous as to the maintenance of
the dignity and honour of England by the PAL-
MERSTON Government. Time was when the
name of the noble viscount at the
head of the present Administration was
held to be. a guarantee for what Lord
GEORGE BENTINCK firmly called "the chastity of
the national honour." Time was—not so many
years ago-,--when the mention of Lord PALMERSTON
was understood to carry terror to the foes of Great ,
Britain, no matter how remotely situated in either
hemisphere. We all remember what the noble lord
himself said in a memorable speech of his in the
House of Commons about an Englishman carrying
with hiin everywhere, to the very ends of the
world, into the very heart of the most despotic
countries, the cegl's of his inalienable rights, by th•
simple utterance of those two haughty words—

C iris Britannicus.
But—We all remember also, how the noble
Viscount has, since then, been hurled from power
by the jealous indignation of the People and of
the Parliament of England at the sinister
suspicion that he (of all men) was truckling to the
despotic and imperial ruler of 30,000,000 of French-
men !

It is true that Lord PALMERSTON has since then,
by a flagitious •intrigue of party—by what Sir
IfuGu CAIRNS tersely and truthfully designated a
dodge—been reinstated in his former position, at
the head, once more, of her Britannic MAJESTY'S
Government. But although the Parliamentary
dodge has so far succeeded, although the political
intrigue has so far prospered, although we have
those abhorred Whigs back again in Downing:
street, with my Lord PALMERSTON at the head of
the Coalition, and Lord Jous at his elbow in the
(! ) Achates to the plus
character of the Fidus
A'neas of the noble viscount—England Winces
still, and not less painfully than any " galled
jade" of them all, at the recollection of the
Conspiracy Bill—England is still apt to
look with an eye of jealous suspicion east askance
upon the foreign policy of Lord PA LM ERSTON,
more especially now that the web of that policy is
entrusted to the blundering fingers of Lord JOIIN
ItcssELL, one of the most unskilled of all living
pretenders to the master-craft of Diplomacy.

Never have the free born natives of this island

been more poignantly sensitive as to the preserva-
tion intact of the ancient glory of their indepen-
dence. And with reason. Now when there is an
inscrutable . and—except before GOD and His-
tory—an irresponsible genius, a CESAR among
men, at the head of 500,000 of the bravest
warriors in the world perpetually confronting us
upon. the opposite shores of the Channel. Now
when the younger branch of the great Anglo-Saxon
family is allowed without remonstrance to violate
