BY THE EUROHA.

EINGLAND.-Ihc conduct OF the
government in reference TO the COM
troversy growing out of the Greek
question appears to engross the atten-
ton of the English press and public,
almost to the exclusion of everyo 9th
er subject. The London Times is
lending its vast influence in apposi-
ton to the ministry, and closes a pow
erlul article on Friday, thus: what
ever may be the ultimate effects of
these events Oh the government of
this country, we hold it 10 be a NOR
al impossibility for Lord Palmerston
to restore the foreign relations ofEng
land to their natural, peaceful, and
honorable condition; and as long as
he holds the seal of that office, most
wholesome and important duties will
remain in abeyance.'
The Liverpool Journal of Thurs
day night, says:
Lord John Russell dealt the worst
blow TO the Peers which they have
ever yet received. His superb, open
and unequ.vocal contempt for them,
and his naughty, democratic denial
that the votes ofthe upper House can
constitutional y have the Slightest IL
fluence upon the Executive Govern
ment, We're very effective, and he
said he did not say this willingly. He
would never have alluded to them,
OF to their own resolution, had a dis
tinct question not been put to him,
llc did not contend that they might
amuse themselves in passing votes Of
censure; but they were votes in the
abstract, ana have nothing to do
with the realities of the Executive
Government When he and his col
leagues were censured by the Com
mons, then he would begin to think
of resign;ng, but certainly not before.
His illusions to Lord Palmerston
were the allus:oas Achates might
have made to Achilles-'Come, and
talk TO us here on our ground, an!
then hear what my noble friend will
say TO YOU This was a point which
told immensely with the House, and
perhaps Lord John in his whole pub
lie life never spoke in such thor-
ough English strain as when he de-
clared that so long as he continued
| the Minister of England he would
not act as the Minister of Austria or
Russia, Gmmense cheering) but with
his usual ability, direct the foreign
policy of the country as the Minister
of England Enthusiastic cheering !
Certainly the love ofoffice, for mere
effice sake, CT the pride of the Pal
merston policy, mus, be strong, when
an Autocrat of the House of Bed
ford can thus repudiate the House of
Lords, and with the gu3to ola repub-
llcan, centre all constitutional control
in the representatives Of Commons.
The few words of the Common Pre-
mier render the whole proceedings
Of the Lords on Monday ludicrous and
contemplate. He deals with Europe
en- n,Gsse as mere debating club,
Whose decisions are innocuous, and
phe deals with Aberdeen and Stanley
as mere tools Of despotic intrigue, ac-
cusing them broadly of heing enc
mics of England.
The Grecian squabble has assumed
a new complication. Further pa
pers have appeared, in the shape of
letters from Mr.. Wyse and Lord
Normandy, which throw the charge
ofbad faith on Baron Crosse, and of
falsehood ON Gen De Lahitte, in rep
resenting that Mr.. Wyse wasinform-
ed of the London @ Nvention at the
time when he renewe d the blockade;
and III consequence, the feelings of
the French, Government towards
Lord Palmerston are more angry
than ever.
The General Post Office has issued
an order that after the Odd ofJune,
the delivery of all letters ON Sunday
will cease. The measure meets with
strong opposition.
