THE SUN.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1859

Her MAJEsTr'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 BENTINCEI 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 noblelord
himself said in a memorable speech of his in the
House of Commons about an Englishman carrying
with him everywhere, to the very ends of the
world, into the very heart of the most despotic
countries, the ergis of his inalienable rights, by the
simple utterance of those two haughty words—
Ciris 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 36,000,000 of French-
