ed from Liverpool On the 18th ult. She was

Liverpool Mercury of the 18th:
THE MESSAGE OF PEACE TO AMERICA An
inquiry has been earnestly addressed to us
from London, as 10 whether the news touch
ing the expected opening of the ports, really
left Eng land by he Acadia, from our river at
noon on the 4th inst Our reply is, and we
can answer for the fact-itdid so. We have
entitled it message of peace, because no one
can doubt the effect Of the announcement, es.
pecially if fol owed by realiz alton, not only
upon the Oregon question, but all other mat,
ters of discussion between the TWO nations.
This we know is a mistake. The announce
m ent of the London Times did not come in
the Acadia, although it was evidently intend
ed for that steamer.

REsIG NATION OF TIE MINISTRY.
Sir Robert Prei's Government IS at an end.
All the members OF the Cabinet yesterday ten.
dered heir resignation, which her Majesty
was pleased o accept.
1t will be easily bel eyed that we regret ,ks
determination of her Mriestys advisers; but
we should much more +, greet their unanimous
determine ion TO ifce the industry of the
country BY strip lng it of all protectrn.
The important fact now announced proves
how completely wrong the Times was when it
stated that the Government had decided upon
proposing to Parliament, as Cabinet measure,
the repeal Of the corn laws.

An official 8nnouncement,l III another part OF
our paper, cor firms one part Of tn sta EN- ent
which we made yesterday that Par
lament, instead Of being summoned for the
despatch OF business, would be az in prorogued.
The other and more important part Of our an
nounc, mtnt is, we believe, equally correct
The Cabinet, we are assured resigned yesler-
day. II is confidently said, that so far from
the Cabinet having at any time come t. de-
cision to recommend the repeal of The corn
law, a large majority of his colleagues have
through out been opposed to Sir Robert Peei's
recomme nded.
From the London Times, Dec II.
The runnor5 which Lave b,en conf lently
circulated IN the best Informed gu rters since
Monday, and circumstances which have come
to our knowledge since the return ofthe MIN
listers last night from Osborne House, leave
scarcely any reasonable doubt that the reviv-
ing repugnance of the Duke to the decision "(
his colleaA ups has rendered it necessary for
them to tenier their resignation 10 her Majes
ty. An unforeseen difficulty Of course there
must have b en- some where.
The head Of an aristocracy demands, il may
easily he imagined little more time TO act
as not TO resolve. 1t is not however, always
possb to al Just the interests OF a Cabinet,
much less those Of nation, to the convent
ence, the dignity, or the humor OF an rnVldu-
al. An obsiinacy which is assumed with a
less SCI ious intent on may be maintained day
too lung to the rum of blh COLLEAGUES and |
cause. Meantime whatever may h,pJen, |.
whoever may be in the 1t month, very few
hours can pass without proving to the ma
lion the substantial truth Of our first momen-
tous pnnounc ment-VIZ., that the leaders
of the cabinet were resolved upon pro-
posing a total repeal of the corn laws
They were resolved to the utm, st OF their
power They Were resolved to do this, or
nothng-,o repeal the corn laws or be no

measure, or feels reluctance to undertake it,
he will have to realise the danger and disa.
greeables on the other side of the scale--the
dissolution of the conservative ministry, and
the interp son of rival, and in some res
poets more suitable agency.
from the Liverpool Mail Dec 1871
The nation, by the resignation of ministers,
is a much mo serious dilemma than many
persons seem to think. The landed Interest,
as il is called, would have almost insurmount-
able difficulties 10 forming an administration
to carry out their views. The conservative
party is divided; suspicion and dlstrusl have
long been IN the camp; some murmur, some
storm, many are sick, and not lew are dis
gused t ...
Our opinion is, juggling by the obscure light
in which The detection is yet placed, that q
dissolution of Par lament must be the result,
followed Immediately by general election.
In this case The nation at lag. will be called
upon TO decide the great question at issue.
