Trouble In the Wind.

Matters here in relation to our foreign policy are
every day assuming q more serious aspect The
Greek affair is settled, but not in way that is
likely to lead to peace. The French and Russian
Governments appear to be greatly dissatisfied at
tbe turn which affairs have taken, and the Minis
FRS from both Powers have left England precipi-
lately This has givin rise to a variety Of specua
bons but as far as the facts can be made out they
spear to be these: Pending NJ CROSS negotia
tons a treaty was agreed to in London signed by
the Russian, French and English Ministers, and
Was sent over to Athens for adoption by the Greek
Goyerument in case the negotiations were not
over but before the treaty did get to Athens, NJ.
eros backed out, and Mr.. Wise had got from the
Greek Minister all be wanted and in consequence
be prosecuted the treaty to finish in his own way.
No persons in England were aware of this state
Of affairs until the absence of the French and Rus
sian Minister'S at the grand PleuipOtentiary Ban
Quet given as usualon the Queens birthday, gave
rise to some inquiries thereto.
In the House of Lords on Thursday, Lord
Bpugham called the attention of the Marquis Of
LMdsdowne, to the sudden departure Of the French
AMBASSADOR, on the Anniversary of Her Majesty's
birth day, and hoped that diminution of the
friendly feelings existing between England and
France was TO be inferred from that occurrence.
The Marquis of Landsdown said that the depar-
ture of the French Ambassador on the Queens
birthday, was purely accidental, and was to be
retired entirely to the desire of the French Gov
eminent to have the benefit of his presence in
Paris. The Marquis of Londonderry wished to
know whether the Russian Ambassador was
party to the convention made in this country be-
tween NJ. Browyn de S. Hugs and Viscount Pal
merston. He also wished to know whether on the
departure of Baron Gros from Athens. if there was
any communication as to bis departure made to the
Russian Minister at Athens, before the commence
ment Of hostiities against Greece, while Russia
be it recollected, was one of the protectors.
The Marquis Of Landsdowne declined giving any
answer.
In the House of Commons, Lord Palmerston
gave an explanation by no means satisfactory. He
stated the discussions between the British and
Greek governments had been so far settled that no
apprehension need be entertained that commerce
would be moested. The only matter remaining
ws'the investigation of NJ. Paufco's claims rela-
hve to Portugal. With respect to the question

hh and French Governments had been interrupted
