Prudence and patriotism alike dictated the with-
drawal of the notice of motion, announced upon the

papers of the House of Lords for last evening, by

i v scount STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE. The astound-

ing incident of the Armistice concluded so very

suddenly and unexpectedly on Thursday between
the Emperors of France and Austria furnished the
noble lord with an all-sufficient reason for the post-

ponement, sine die, of the intended discussion upon
the delicate subject of the late diplomatic negotia-
tions. The ventilation of this elaborate and
voluminous correspondence in Parliament might
unquestionably—would most probably—be in the
very last degree inopportune. Every one recog-
nised this upon the instant directly the news was

received yesterday of this startling, and, so far as
the conqueror is concerned, most magnanimous

Armistice. Lord STRATFORD, we may rest assured,

was the very first to appreciate the advisability o:

passing his promised motion by sub silentio. In the

interests of peace, in the hope of its eventual
if not speedy realisation—this Parliamentary
reticence was in every respect the course
among all courses the most judicious and
advisable under existing circumstances. There
cannot be an instant's doubt that perhaps
the most experienced and gifted diplomatist
of our generation needed no prompting what-
ever to lead him to the recognition and adop-

tion of the wisest policy of all, that of total silence

for the time being, upon the very theme upon which
he himself (and with him many an ardent sym-

pathiser in his views) was burning to expatiate.
Let not those factious politicians, however, who
have wriggled themselves into power, and place,
and patronage, so dishonestly by a party trick, as
mean, and paltry, and utterly despicable as ever yet
has been witnessed in the struggles of placemen
and partisans to get from the cold shade of oppo-

sition to the sunshine of administrative authority
—let not the present occupants of the Treasury
bench console themselves for one moment with a
serious belief that the threatened exposure of

their malevolence and untruthfulness in regard to
Lord MALMESBURY, and his policy throughout the
whole of these difficult and delicate diplomatic
negotiations, has been now at once got rid of alto-
gether. That eclaircissement has only been delayed.
The time must come, sooner or later, when, both in
the Lords and the Commons, the Blue-book now
hushed up and hustled out of the way, out of
motives the most pure and the most honourable,
because simply, as we have said, both prudent and
patriotic—the time must arrive, we say, when
the whole of these transactions will, in the inevitable

course of events, be dragged forth into the broad

light of debate in both branches of the imperial
Legislature. And Parliament will be then con-
strained in honest truthfulness to reverse its
precipitate and most mistaken judgment,

in reference to the foreign policy of the late
DERBYITE Administration. Upon that policy the
recent Administration was notoriously defeated—
or, rather it should be said, not upon the policy it-
self, but upon its perverse and wilful misrepresen-
tation. That misrepresentation, however, it must
be remembered, was only possible when the new
Parliament was assembled—for the one simple rea-
son that the negotiations were allowed to remain for
the most part simply conjectural from the diplomatic
correspondence not being then [as it clearly ought
to have been] collected together betimes, and
promptly and most opportunely published. The
non-publication of this vitally important correspon-
dence simultaneously with, if not anterior to, the
assembling together of the newly-elected Parlia-
ment, was—these are the only words for it—a deli-
berate
act of Ministerial suicide on the part of the
late Administration. It was not until after
the adverse decision of the House of Commons
had been arrived at—a decision grounded princi-
pally if not entirely upon a misapprehension or
misrepresentation of the nature of the policy pur-
sued by Lord MALMESBURY, in the course of the
negotiations—it was not until then (when it was
altogether too late) that the Italian Blue-
book was passed through the hands of the

Parliamentary printers and laid by order of
her MAJESTY before both Houses of the
lature. The erroneous verdict had then not
merely been pronounced, but the unjust sentetnce
had been carried summarily and precipitately into
exemtion. It is only then, when the victim of this
sham( less manceuvre on the one part, and of this
pervei .se and incomprehensible blunder on the o Cher
—has beer. long since dead and buried, that the
false Ni ritness, the venal advocates, the unscrupulous
ant; partisan judges, and the remorseless ex ccu-
tioners are proved as clearly as anything cal i be
prov, d to have acted wholly in error, and to 1 have
done )v.o with suspiciously eager precipitation !
The i question still remains, of course, to pu;zzle
