THE RESIGNATION OF THE PEEL. MINISTRY
ACCESSION oP LORD JOHN RUSSELL AND
LORD PALMERsToN.
The ship Liberty, Capt Norton, arrived from
Liverpool yesterday afternoon, bringing four
days later news from Europe, viz: 10 the 18th
uIt. from Liverpool. The great item OF news is
the resignation of the Peel Ministry, and the
summoning by the Queen Of Lord John Russell
to form a new Ministry, with the view Of eff
Iecting change in the Corn Laws. The ex-
tracts we make below will give our readers full
particulars, ....l r
We Confess that, as Americans, we hear Of
this change Of Ministry with deep anxiety, if
not with alarm. The accession OF the Palmer
ston Ministry to power.is, il il has not chang
ed lis character. blllieerent Ministry, and a
Ministry far less disposed, and with far hess
power, to make amicable treaties with the
United States than the Peel and Aberdeen Min
istrS. II will be recollected that Lord Pail
merston aud M. Theirs came within an inch Of
involving England and France in a war, and
that Lord Palmcrston denounced the Ashbur-
ton Treaty as capitulation." 1t is very
true, that this Ministry will have enough to do
just now to take care Of itself, but il is true,
nevertheless, no Wing Ministry in England can
afford to he, or dare to be, as liberal in treating
with a Republic, as is a Tory Administration,
because Wings in England are suspected Of
Republican tendencies and are therefore, often
forced to be unjust, in order to- get rid OF the
suspicion.
This change Of Ministry must. have so en-
crossed the public mind, that the Oregon ques-
tiOn cannot have been seriously considered in
Cabinet, so that the steamer will bring US no
news of the opening Of negotiations; only tn e
rumblings Of the British Press. Nevertheless s,
we await her news with great anxiety. Never
was foreign news more important than that
will be.
Parliament was prorogued to the 3oth Of De.
cember. BY the steamer, ifthere is no further
+prorogation, we shal have the Queens Speech.
The price Of Cotton has advanced.
