LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE -21, 1850.

Every true Englishman will read with a feeling of
approving pride the " plucky" declaration of Lord
JOHN RUSSELL in the House of Common.; last veil-
ing, as to the intention of the Ministry with Tepid to
the resolution by which the House of Lords, on Mon-
day, declared themselves Rusdit.n partisans rather
than English senseors. " I can answer for my Noble
Friend," said Lord JOHN RUSSELL, " that he will
act, not as the Atinister of Austria or of Russia—(Ve-
hement and prolonged cheering)—or of France, or of
any other country, but as the Minister of England.—
(Renewed cheers.) I can answer for it, that Vie shall
consult for the honour and the interest of England
and that to the maintenance of that honour and of
that interest our conduct shall ha in future, as it has
hitherto been, devoted —(Loud and long-continued

cbc ers.)"
These are noble word., such as CHATHAM would
have uttered unr.ler similar circumstances, and not the
least portion of their value is, that they haVe elicited
from the semi-official organ of the Russian party in
London a distinct declaration that in the view of
that party it is the duty of the Foreign Minister of
this country to be an Austriar, a Russian, or a
French, rather than an English Minister, and that to
maintain the honour and interest of England in op-
position to Austria, Russia, or France would be fol-
lowed by consequences too tremendous to' be
even hinted at. That such have been the motives
actuating the Russo-Austrian clique we have had
abundant evidence in every act of Lord ABERDEEN'S
admini3trations, whenever for the misfortune of his
country he has been permitted to doze in the Foreign-
office as Chief Secretary. That the majority of the
Peers, too, are of opinion that English honour and
English interests should on all occasions be delibe-
rately sacrificed to gratify the caprice of the Absolu-
tist Powers is also but too clear from their
vote of Monday evening; but my Lord ABERDEEN
only represents M. GUIZUT, and the Peers only re-
present themselves. The representatives of the people
of England will be called upon to declare their sen-
timents on Monday, and we cannot doubt but
that declaration will be in the words of Mr. ROE-
Buca's proposed resolution----" That the pine:pies,
which have hitherto regulated the foreign policy of
her MAJESTY'S Government are such as were re-
quired to preserve untarnished the honour and dig-
nity of this country; and in times of unexampled
difliculty were the best calculated to maintain peace
between Erglard and the various nations of the
world."

We cannot feel surprised at the indignation evinced
by proprietors of land in Ireland at the fearful sacri-
fices of property that have been made at the sales
under the Encumbered Estates Commission in that
country. It is now certain that purchasers are still
holding back, and not evincing that anxiety to become
the owners of property held by a Parliamentary title,
which was so confidently anticipated. There has
been as yet no attempt on the part of the English
capitalists to make investments in the sister kingdom.
The consequence is, that the supply of land brought
into the market very far exceeds the demand ; that
prices have consequently been depreciated in many
instances to less than one-half the real value. This
downward tendency has been actually aggravated by
the depressed and urreertain state of everything
connected with Irish agriculture. The rejection of
the clause brought forward last year fur assigning a
limit beyond which no demand for poor-rate could be
made, had also an effect, in making buyers cautious.
But, above all, the pendency of Sir 'MEIN ROMILLY'S
Bill, which offered vast advantages to purchasers, by
enabling them to issue debentures for one-half the
purchase-money, payable by easy instalments, and
calculated to circulate from hand to hand in the
mone Ytearltet
,like a bank-note, contributed to pro-
duce this result.
It was true that the Commissioners
in the exercise of their discretion had very judiciously
promulgated an order, to the effect that purchasers
might
lodgefor
one-half of the purchase-
money the time
being ; but it was
indulgence
impossible to say how long that
might be continued, or at what unexpected
moment the balance might be called for. Neither
could the ultimate fate of the Securities for Ad-
vances Bill be accurately known. It might be re-
jected in either House, and it was by no means im-
probable that it would be very summarily dealt with

as to be altogether deprived cf its efficacy ; or it
might be made to apply only to persons who became
purchasers after it bad received the Legislative
sanction. For all these reasons capitalists, who had
money at their disposal, were induced to hold
back, and this inclination was increased by
the knowledge of the enormous quantity of land
