LONDON, NVEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 1857.

It would be difficult, we fancy, to lay our
finger upon any single paragraph in the Tiverton
Manifesto, and say—Here is the announcement
of a Di,tinct Policy—Here is the enunciation of
a great Principle I Here !—Where T Where in
the name of Fortune ? In which of these twenty
paragraphs? For the life of us we cannot even
conjecture. Certainly, A Policy may lie there
somewhere perdu in this wonderful Manifesto—
/
A Principle may somewhere be discoverable after
all among these twenty sententious paragraphs.
But really they appear to be about as difficult to
detect as the old needle in the bundle of hay.
We can't find them ! We have been rummaging
1, industriously, for we don't know how long,
(I among the littered subjects of this " Address,"
I but to this very moment we have altogether
failed, totally and egregiously failed, to light
upon either ! We are still almost dying of
curiosity to know what upon earth may bo the
intended Policy of Lord PALMERSTON'S Govern-
ment—what in the whole wide " universe of
things" may be the guiding Principles of the pre-
sent Administration l
Yesterday we tried to console ourselves with
the notion that the Policy and the Principles
which actuated Sir ROBERT PEEL, more or less,
(luring the whole of his illustrious career---were
vaguely realised, very vaguely, but still realised,
by Viscount PALMERSTON. That notion we yet
cherish—that notion, in the absence of anything
more definite, we shall continue to cherish perti-
naciously and perseveringly. But, viewing it at the
best, a mere " notion" upon such a subject, and
at such a crisis, is--we may surely be allowel to
venture upon the objection—insufficient ! We
don't want the mere Notion of a Policy—however
encouraging and auspicious may appear its cha-
racter. We want—A—POLICY. We don't want
the mere Notion of a Principle—however elevated
and magnanimous may seem the manner of
its apparition. We want—A--PRINCIPLE. And
where, to-day, let us ask, ourEelves again I de,

liberately and dispassionat ly, where in the whole

of the twenty paragraphs of the Tiverton Man

fest° is caller discernible—either a Policy or a

Principle ? AsEturedly not in reference to whit is

said in the matter of our Foreign Relations.
Besides, we know perfec9y- well all about
that. The whole ,t my was long since
quite threadbare. Mr. DICKENS'S "School-.
bog" could have tell the items off, in a jiffy, upou
his ten fingers. The French Alliance. The Run-
Sian War. The Defence of Turkey. The quick
revival of friendly relations with the Court uf
Teheran. The rapid reconciliation brought abot
it
between ourselves and cur dear republican cou,ins
across the herring pond, at Washington. Our in -
effectual appeal to Icing BoarnA'sparo/e cl'honnocr
—when his Sicilian Majesty may bo said to have
replied coolly slamming the door in our face.
