Lord Grew would not take Office in an admin;s,r,-
ton where Lord Pslmerston had the cbarpe Of the
foreign Office. All who remember the speech of
Lord Palmerston on the treaty of Washington. will
see in this a good Providence protecting the peace

Lord Pomerson was distinctly characterized by
the Times" lot 10Th December) as statesman
| standing naturally enough condemned by the public
opinion OF Europe, as a man unfit to conduct the
foreign affairs OF England, and Pre-emnently dan.
gerous to the peace OF the world. Earl Grey, to

leadership in the House OF Commons, was very

surrender that post to Lord Palmerston, and still
take part in the administration. But that Lord Pal
merston should not be in the foreign office, Lord

use his own language as given ny inc journals,

of Haddmgton becomes Lord Privy Seal, instead of
the Duke OF Buccleugh, who takes the Presidency OF
the Council, vacant by the sudden death of Lord
Wharncllffe. Mr.. Gladstone-characterized some
months since, 10y the Examiner, aferce Pee-hater
ofyore,) as Peel on smaller scale-Mr. Gladstone
takes Lord SANKEY'S place as secretary for the
colonies The retirement OF Lord Stanley, is, we
believe, not OF bad augury to American rights and
interests.
To us il seems quite clear that the return of Sir
Robert Peel to power, means the modification but
not the immediate repeal of the Corn-Laws. Il isun

Sir Robert on the corn question But To rep.al the
