Another ponderous blue-book has recently fallen
with a sumph upon the vacated floor of Parliament.
It was only the other day that this weighty
azure tome numbering within it altogether 400
pages folio, explained away as clearly as possible
the monstrous misapprehensions entertained in re-
gard to the nature of the diplomatic correspondence
relating to the Italian Question, carried on between
this country, France, Austria, and Sardinia, under
the guidance of the hand and mind, the conscience
and the judgment of the Earl of MALMESBURY.
That comprehensive volume has revealed explicitly
and incontrovertibly the fact that so far from the
Foreign Policy of the late Administration tending
to drift us into something like complicity with the
Viennese Government—it positively tended, if any-
where, in quite an opposite direction. It is now
clearly seen that the late Foreign Secretary if he
urged anything strongly, urged Austria most
strongly NOT to take the very course which led to
the actual declaration of hostilities ! So far from
Lord MALMESBURY abetting that insensate course,
or sympathising with it to the smallest extent, it is
now clearly proven that his lordship did quite
otherwise. His voice was raised in warning—not
in encouragement. His hand waved back—rather
than pointed onwards. His principal effort, so far
from being in any way calculated to precipitate
matters to a collision, was in truth directed to
restrain the passions of the more eager and the
more hostile by every method of dignified concilia-
tion. The Opposition, however, cpuld by no means
consent to wait until the explanatory documents
were published. Their interest was obviously to pro-
nounce judgment first, and then to examine at
leisure, from the height of power so won, whether
or not that judgment could be in any way justified.
Nothing than this was ever more surely
misprision of justice. It was the declaration of the
sentence before the commencement of the trial. It
was more monstrous even than this—it was the
premature infliction of a punishment for what im-
mediately afterwards is clearly proved to have
merited, on the contrary, the most signal appro-
bation. No matter—if justice remained unsatisfied
—the coveted position was in the meantime
attained. Reversing the grand old axiom—fiat
Justitia ruat ceelum—those who had been so long
devoured at heart by the greed of office, the lust
of place, the appetence of power, had succeeded in
bringing down the existing Administration with
a crash, by an act of the most flagrant injustice
anywhere discoverable even upon the records of
our' Parliamentary:history. Lord MAL3IESBURY
is removed, upon the plea that his foreign policy
was coloured by strong Austrian sympathies. The
substantial blue-book referred to above proves
incontestibly upon the morrow of that removal,
that the foreign policy of the DERBY Administra-
tion was in no respect at all of a German
character, but was consistently, from first to last,
marked by the most strict and impartial
neutrality. N'importe—have we not ample grounds
for consolation in the thought that, in place of
Lord MALMESBURY at the Foreign-office we have
now the noble lord who conducted two or three
years back the well-known Vienn omission !
—the noble lord who sent his father-in-law, ten
brief summers back, at onc wool-gathering and
gunpowder-scattering about the Roman Peninsula !
—the noble lord who, above all in our own remem-
brance (for we bear vividly in mind listening upon
that memorable occasion to his superb plausibili-
ties), once upon a time solemnly vindicated the
'Teutonic influences exercised upon the councils of
England by—the Shadow behind the Throne !
Lord MALMESBURY—who has just inauguratei
neutrality as the :guiding Prin • •
ciple of England
through all the manifold and complicated difficul-
ties arising out of the war in Lombardy—Lord
MALMESBURY, it is true, has been removed from
the head of the Foreign-office upon a hasty and
wilful misapprehension. Let us be consoled, how-
ever—we have now in his place the noble plenipo-
tentiary of the Vienna Conferences, the son_in_law
of Lord MINTO of the Italian wanderings, the
