LONDON, 'IHURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1850.

After the masterly and triumphant vindication of
his foreign policy by Lord PALMERSTON, it is scarcely
rprising to observe the preparations making for his
3,4;c tion this evening in the neigbbourhoood of the
Rouses at W6stminster. Th 2 F•ympathy entertained
foilifiToreign Secretary by the people of' England
is-- iiether too earnest to admit of its suppression
occasion of so much impurtance to his
•

cal character. Added to which the insolent personali-
ties showered upon that illustrious diplomatist and
statesman would of themselves be sufficient to
extort from the multitude a strong and. ener-
getic counter-manifestation. Hence it is far
from being any matter of surprise to us that
upon the eve of the division about to take place upon
the motion of the Honourable and Learned Gentle-
man the representative of Sheffield, the public should
betray an anxiety to demonstrate the fulness of their
admiration for the patriotic Minister at the head of
the Foreign Department of the Government.
Everything throughout the recent debates, in the
Peers upon Lord STANLEY'S motion, and in the
Commons upon Mr. ROEBUCK'S—everything through-
out these discussions relating to the attacks
upon the Foreign Secretary has tended to
evidence the pitiful spite and rancour of the as-
sailants of the Noble Viscount, and to corroborate
the assertion of Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE, that a dis-
graceful conspiracy has been formed to oust her MA-
JESTY'S Government. Several considerations combine
to impress this fact indelibly upon the general con-
viction. The mere circumstance of an alliance
suddenly being effected between parties in
the Legislature who cordially hate each other,
divulges an arriere pensee of a dark and
sinister description. Then, again, the flagrant
falsehoods advanced in the way of argument against
the policy of Lord Panmeasgoef afford full evidence
of the unprincipled nature of the antagonism to his
admini:tration. The inconsistency, moreover, of
men such as the Right Honourable Baronet the
Member for Ripon, who four years ago spoke
favourably of the very question which now becomes
the object of their vituperations, has about it a sig-
nificance such as requires no exposition whatever.
The truth is, we repeat, that an intrigue, the
like of which for baseness and turpitude has
never been surpassed, has been set on foot, to employ i
the language of the lion. and Gallant Gentleman
the Representative of the county of Middlesex, by
Ministers of State in office and out of office, by
Kings with crowns and without crowns, and he
would add, too, without character. Aided by politi-
cal adventurers, struggling by every ignoble method
to secure their own selfish aggrandizement, even at
the expense of all national interests and of the commonest
decencies of society, these conspirators are plotting
to accomplish the expulsion from the Cabinet of a
statesman in whose regard the feelings of the people
of England are cordial and enthusiastic. Blindtd
by their own detestable ambition, these men appear to
forget that the great Minister of the Crown, whose
ruin they are striving to accomplish, was already fa-
mous throughout Europe, when many of them were
mere boys, and when the rest of them were crawling up
the lowest and dirtiest rounds of the social ladder. They
seem to lose a recollection of the circumstance that
the popularity of Lord PALMERSTON is not a mere
ephemeral ebullition of civic caprice, that it has not
suddenly sprouted into existence out of simply eva-
nescent interest, but that it dates back its vitality
during the larger portion of half a century, that it
has grown to iGs present fullness and maturity from
the earliest days of the present generation of
statesmen, that, above all and beyond all,
it has developed in strength and in perma-
nence by reason of a long series of giorioes
and historical achievements. If for no other reason,
the foreign policy of Lord PALMERSTON would com-
mand the admiration of contemporaries and the
panegyric of posterity, seeing that to its sagacity
alone, under GOD, is attributable the preservation of
peace throughout the world during two most terrible
end perilous periods of revolution. Immediately after
the occasion of the great political explosion of the
three days of July, 1830, and subsequently
immediately upon the occasion of the yet
greater political explosion of the three days
of February, 1848—it was the good fortune
of England to be represented among foreign
notions by the policy of Viscount PALMERS-
TON.
That policy secured international peace to
Christendom when the whole surface of the European
continent was heaving with what Mr. ALISON has
powerfully designated the 44 mind- a es" of revolu-
tion. But for that conciliato oliky Great
Britain must inevitably have beco broiled with
one or other of the great peoples hen in a state
of bellicose excitement. Especially during
the momentous epoch which followed the
grand democratic detonation of February, during
those months of alternate panic and enthusiasm, when
the princes of the earth were fugitives, when palaces
were pillaged, and thrones broken in the market-
place, and "the official holy cf holies (to we the
expression of Mr. CARLYLE) was laid bore to dogs
and the profane"—then, more peculiarly than at any
other period, the wisdom of Lord PALMERSTON'S
foreign policy became apparent to the judgment of
the population. Imagine the consequences that
must have befallen this country and the rest of the
nations of ChriAendom, supposing my Lord ABER-
DEEN had held the seals of the Foreign•office during
the days immediately after the revolution of July
and the days immediately after the revolution of Fe-
bruary ! Good GOD ! the mere conjecture is fraught
with the most frightful visions of calamity. How
the dupe of Louts PHILIPPE, and the cetspaw of
GTJIZOT, and the obsequious accomplice of METTER-
NICH, could have escaped from being himself involved
in the troubles which overwhelmed those, his patrons,
masters, and panegyrists, it is somewhat difficult to
imagine. And the entanglement of ABERDEEN
would have been the entanglement of England, had
the former at that period been unhappily at the head
of the foreign department of the Government.
Hence it is, we repeat, that the people of England
are enabled to recognize the value of that system
of conducting our diplomatic relations which
empowered the illustrious statesman, her Me-
JI3STY'S present Foreign Secretary, to maintain
peace between Great Britain and the revolutionized
countries of Christendom, and to maintain that peace,
moreover, not only without any derogation of our
national dignity, but in a manner such as tended to
preserve, and enhance, and elevate the national inte-
rests and the national character. Never before, we
maintain, has England ridden so tranquilly through
such pclitical tempests of revolution, and never before
have the name, and the fame, and the strength,
and the glory of England, been so conspicuous
over the whole globe as during these times of the
foreign administration of Viscount PALMERSTON.
Well, therefore, may that noble statesman challenge
the favourable verdict of theaHouse of Commons, and
demand the reward due to his patriotic labours—the
formal approval of the Legislature.

From every part of the country—north, south,
east, and west—from England, from Ireland, from
Scotland, from Wales, from the Land's End to Johnny
Groat's house, from the Giant's Causeway to
Cape Clear, from the shores of Galway to the
Humber—complaints, both loud and deep, are
pouring in of the intolerable inconvenience, and of
the immense amount of Sabbath desecration, occa-
i sloaed by the culpable yielding of the Ministry to the
fanatical, absurd, and, as we believe, illegal demand
of the ASHLEY Sabbattarian squad for the abolition
of the Post-office delivery on Sunday. We yester-
day gave, on the authority of Lord BROUGHAM, the
narrative of a case in which Sunday labour, and that
a labour of necessity, had been fearfully increased in
consequence of the closing of oqfatohtee fProosmt-otffi h:cecoolfuCmansstleo-f
ton on Sunday last. We
a contemporary the following statement, addressed to
him by one of his correspondents
" I h...ve been in business for many yearg. The shop
which I now conduc has been carried on by m) self and
my father for above thirty years. In conjunction with
a respectable bookselling and printing business we have
carried on an extensive newspaper agency, but during
the whole of that timo we have never sold a nc,wspaper
cr as much as a sheet of post on a Sunday. As in the
case of other respectable country newsmen, our Sunhy
papers were uddres.ed by a Lorido9 agent direct to
the subscribers, and we visited them quarterly
for the cash. Now, I must surrender this
branch of my business, which I cannot afford,
or commence Sunday trader; and I have been obliged,
from the competition of others, to engage to-day
three mels,engers to deliver on a Sunday morning the
London papers to my subscribers. The other newspaper
agents are doing ;he same thing; so we -shall have now
071 a Sunday morning ten or twelve newsmen at the least
running about the town delivering and hawAing papers,
while four letter carriers have hitherto delivered all the
lett'rs and newspapers Jo,' the whole town, in nzueh less
time.

" Another matter to be borne in mind is, that a new
branch of active Sunday traffic h opere3, ss our walls
are placarded with the addresses oV•compiting' gtenti,
announcing the delivery of papers on a Sunday morning;
and there is scarcely an inn or beer-house in the town

hut has been canvassed to take a Sunday pap©r under
this new puritanical regime."
Thus we find that Sunday labour will be greatly
increased by the abolition of the Sunday Post-office
delivery, as it would be by the abolition of Sunday
baking. The Sunday baker cooks the dinners of
perhaps fifty poor families, and enables therm to go to
church, when but for him they would have been
forced to stay at home to attend to the cooking of
their respective dinners; and the employment of four
postmen in delivering letters on a Sunday morning
(and be it remembered this work is done by ten
o'clock, an hour before the commencement of Divine
service), sets twelve men at liberty who would other-
wise be employed the whole of the day. The measure
cf Lord ASHLEY is not only absurd, not only fanatical,
but it is suicidal. We are rejoiced to find that the
proprietors of the London weekly news-
papers, whose property will be confiscated
by the operation of this measure, are
bestirring themselves to procure the recall of the
obnoxious order : a meeting of the proprietors of
newspapers was held yesterday, at which petitions to
both Houses of Parliament, praying .for the restora-
tion of the Post-office Sunday delivery were agreed
to (the petition itself will be found in extenso in an-
other column), and we recommend that public
meetings should be held in all parts of the country to
protest against the order, and to petition for its repeal ;
but we fear that there is not time to hold these meet•
ings, so as to have the petitions emanating from them
presented to Parliament during the present session ;
and unless some measure ba adopted before the
close of the present session to obviate the
evils arising from the stoppage of the Sunday
delivery, those evils will become intolerable be-
fore any remedy can be applied to them.
The common•sense portion of the nation look, there•
fere, in this their extremity to the Legislature to re-
pair the evil before it be too late ; and more
especially do they look to Lord BitouGuam, who
has, to his honour be it Fpoh:n, opposed
from the commeneenaw, with the arms of elo-
quence, of sarcasm, end of reason, the insane
proceedings of the Sabhatarians, and the culpable
weeknese of the Ministry in givirg way to
the ravings rf those madmen They- trust, and
they beseech that his Lordship will move an ad-
dress in the II use of Lords, praying her MA-
JESTY to riecind the order prohibiting the
Sued Ay delivery of letters. The Ministers
have, in accordance with an address "snapped"
from the House of Commons at the dinner hour, per-
petrated what they themselves admit to be an act cf
iilegal and criminal, because mischievous, absurdity ;
they cannot surely refuse to return to the ways of
common sense and of legality, in accordance with an
address from the House of Loris.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The organs of the Elp6l are any thing but well
pleased with the narrowness of the majority by which
tre clotation of the PiIESIDENT was carried ; imteid of
tendiog to reconcile the difinences already existing
between the Bonapartist, Legitimptist, and Orleanist
fractions of the majority, the ren.ilt has only tended
to embitter them. The Punvoir, the acknowledged
organ of the PRESIDEINT, thus speaks of the result of
division :

" When in order to pet an end to the orgies of eee
Provisiotal Government, France confided her fate to the
elect of the 10th December, she had naturally to cem-
plete her idea by sending to the lettgiFdative Assembly
repretentatires who would loyally and energetically
support the Presideat of the Republic. It is necessary
that the country should know that her hopes have been
deceived. Thera is in the Assembly a flegi ant and per-
manent idea of hostility against Prince Louis Napoleon
Bonaparte. France chose him to save her; the Assem-
bly only accepted him to nullify him until it could rid
itself of him. Such, in two words, is the state of
affairs in all its desperate reality. and without
any manmuvre being able to mask it from the eyes of
since-re men. The patriotism and loyalty of General
Changarnier alone prete.nted that deplorably hostility
from breaking out oa Monday. Real political men,
those who know the value of public peace, confidence,
and general security; those who would be the natures
icalers of the Assembly, if passion, egotism, fanaticism,
and blindness would admit chiefs weighing with all their
reason and all their geed sense on the Assembly, the
event every day proves that they are powerless to master
and to tead it. Thus, while the country seeks f-Jr re-
pose, for labour, and for order, some senseless men in-
cessantly strive to ke?p up agitation, • and to impel
Francs to fr,salt commotions. It is necessary that the
country should be made fully aware of this um:h. It
would be in error if it thought that it had nothirg to
rear but Socialism; it has etill more to detail from the
.:eci;seint labour cf some men, whose ambitions and whee
raeceurs prevent the Government from coniolidaiirig
itself. This is not what they gave out to be pre-
t.) be feared at the period of the general clec-
tiow. They then proclaimed themse:ves the sup sort of
13iti elect of the 10th Deeteente, because that recornur n-
dation had a magical effect : then terror was general, and
:every one rallied to the work of safety. New that te2u-
rity is somewhat returned, these ungrateful men make
atm of it against him who gave it to them. They act like
sailors who during a storm make a vow to the 'Lledonne,
and who laugh flit her when the danger is over. We do
not think that France will suffer such conduct to be pur-
sued in her name, and it is for that reason we think it
necessary to point it out to her."

Although the Ponvoir speaks of the patriotism and
loyalty of Gffieral UHANGARNIER, the PRESIDENT and
hi, friends are by no means pleased at the patronizing
tone which he assumed on the occasion, nor at the
naughty airs which he has since given himself. It
was only by a judicious admixture of threats, promises,
and coaxing that he was induced at the last moment
to declare in favour of the Ministerial project. The
National says :
" Several representatives of the majority who voted
yesterday against the tiwation of the President, remark
animated language that M. Changarmer, who yester-
day broke through his habitual silence to urge the adop-
tion of the project of the Ely: e?, had not ceased for a
wtelc previously to advise the rejection of that same
project. M. :11agnan has therefore, by his arrival in
Pa-is, performed a double miracle; he has loosed the
toque of M. Chanzarnier, and operated a conTersion.
rho image of the Virgin which rest gyred to Frarc )ise
Petitot the use of her legs is surpassed."
Tnis shows the threats. Now for the coaxing and
the conditions. The correspondent of a reactionary
journal thus speaks of the vote
The vote on the amendment audio was car-
ried by a charge of General Changarnißr. The man-
ner in wh:elt this charge was executed is about to re-
dt,;ive its reward by the removal from office of General
D'llautpoul. It is also said that the Ely: di is but mode-
rately satisfied with the numerical amount of the
majority."
It is considered as extremely probable that an ex-
tensive change will take place in the Ministry ; an
announcement in the Pouvoir that M. DE PERSIGN;
who is at present in Paris, will not return to Berlin,
seems to confirm this rumour.
The Akbar of Algiers states that upwards of CO
persons have been arrested at Oran, charged with
being implicated in a Socialist conspiracy.
The directors of the Bank of France have declared
a dividend of 50f. on their shares of I,ooof. for the
half-year ending the Ist of July next.
It is a Ctirious fact that the PRESIDENT has been
enabled to obtain that which was always steadily re-
fused to Louis PHILIPPE, notwithstanding his intri-
gues and his corruptions—the KING asked for a do-
nation of 400,000 francs for the Duke DE NEmouns,
and was refused.

At the sitting of the Assembly yesterday, several of
the Members complained that they had been repre-
sented by the division lists, published in the Moniteur,
as having voted for the dotation, or as having
been absent when they had been present, and
had voted against it. Among the complainants
was General LAMORICIERE, who remarked with great
emphasis that it was not the first time that such mis-
takes had been committed by the officers acting under
the superintendence of AL DUNN ; while M. LA..
GRANGE observed that such mistakes had also been
invariably made in favour of the Minister. In the
lobby General LAMORICIERE was even more severe
in his language than tie bad been in the tribune; for,
pointing to the division lists in the Moniteur, he called
those around him to witness that he had been falsely
set down among the lackeys of the Elyse!.

Madrid journals of the 21st have arrived.
There are rumours of various projected Carlist
risings, in v4Lrious parts of the country.
'The Duke of MONTPENSIER iS exceedingly un-
popular among the Castilians, as the following anec-
dote will show. There was a bull-fight at Madrid on
the 18th of June, at which the Duke and Duchess of
MONTPENSIER were present, and according. to the
custom which prevails when any member of the royal
family assists at the spectacle, the chief of the Torea-
dors requested their permi,;sion to commence the fight
on his bended knee. At this proceeding the entire
assembly hooted and hissed. When the second bull
was about to he led forth the same ceremony was re-
peated with the same result, although the famous
lloNrEs, the conqueror in all his battles, was one of
th,•_! Toreadors. On the third hull-fight being about to
cou-nnence the Toreador merely saluted tlie-nuke and
Duchess, without bending his knee. • A shout of ap-
plause was immediately raised by the entire mob.
