in peremptory, rude and offensive This
emany proceeding against man SO universally esteemed
and every way esmabe as the Chevaler BUssKs, ha
occasioned universal expression of dpeasure the
duct of Lord BaousHAn. The Marquis of LAssDowsE, ii
order to prevent recurrence Of such unpleasant
has moved for sufficient and comfortable accommodation bein
provided for the Diplomatic Body, who at present appear
be very shabbly attended Lord BRoUsHAm is really
eccentric being and bis conduct at times is literally
impeachment either of his sanity or his sobriety.
The most serious event in Parliament has been the result
Lord STASLErs motion in the Lords to the following eff
feet That while this House fully recognises the right and
duty of the Government her Majesys subjects
residing in foreign States the full protection the laws
those Sae regrets find by the correspondence recent
y laid upon the table by her Maestys command that
rous claims against the Greek Government doubtful in
point of justice, exaggerated in amount have been
forced by coercve directed against the commerce
and people Of Greece and calculated endanger the con-
tinuance Of our friendly relations with other Powers" II il

ments with which Lord STANLEY enforced the propey Of

JUNE 10.
The Cabinet sat yesterday, says the Times, for
two hours, and not, we believe, without differ
ence of opinion yet the decision was to do
nothing. The Times goes on to say that " the
= House of Lords has recorded with evident reluc-
lance, though with entire conviction, its adverse
judgment on the foreign policy of a Ministry
which no one seriously desires to osubvert or to
: humiliate.'
The error Of Ministers has been that they have srren
dered their own better judgment the direction Of reckless
and domineerng colleague and that this point they have
mprudenty and improperly dsegarded the growing rrita
ton of public opinion and the "Reminiscences of tie Cro,cn
ITSELF They have enormously set down TO persona anmos
ty and to foreign ingues what in truth was no more than
sense Of national dangers and national interests and they
have made it point of honor persist particular line
Of policy, when the spirit of the nation was bent on the
abandonment of policy which dspassonate mind could
paiae or defend But the country did not withdraw its
support from the foreign policy Of the Government until long
after that policy had forsaken all the principles and traditions
which have for the last $50 years regulated our relations with
other States AT the point at which those relations have
now arrived it requires very searching eye to discover
that have already forfeited far than we have gained
and that every succeeding week increased the loss Of
and influence to which we have been condemned submit
it has destroyed the fictitious identity which was still
supposed by courtesy exist between the Foreign DEPART
ment and the country at large.
"The significance of this vote will therefore, be perfectly
understood by the country which concus in the lust severity
Of such sentence and by Europe which expected no less
from the temperate judgment of this nation Whatever NAV
be lis political results the world may now be secure that such
acts OF sudden violence will easily be repeated by any
British Minister for such pitul motives as the claims OF
PAcrFIco and, the mos worthless instruments are some
times ancay to great results that Jew of Athens whose
fabulous coms and magic wealth belong the history Of en-
chantments, will hereafter be remembered more than he de-
serves as the being who served ebuke the proud and
TO shake the foundations OF British administration though
greater offences and dangerous aggressons had been
suffered to pass by uncorrected and unavenged."
The House Of Commons has yet to pass its opinion upon
this proceeding, and upon the which it condemns
Mr.. RoEpucK asked Lord John RasseN last night what
course re intended to adopt in consequence Of the in
another places" and it understood that Lord JoHs will
give the information requested Thursday (to-morrow)
evening In the ue and during the uncertainty as TO
the course which Ministers will take it curious compare
the opinions Of our leading urnaIs The Times directing
all its spleen against Lord PALMERsroS, says: e..
Unde the rather peculiar Of the case is not
for prescribe the particular kind of recognition demanded
by this rebuke but whoever advises no recoga
ton at all be very confident of the primo pies of the
party represented by her Maesy present advisers If they
the confidence of the people, believe thew do
hey could not possibly damage their position or create more
than moentary interruption of public business by resign
ing their trust to her Majesty with the certainty OF renewed
appeal her part to tie chief of the great Wing party It
plainly impossible that have any other than Lib
oral Government That is belief and that accoun,
cannot for moment suppose Government based on such
wide and ndestructbe grounds be weakly and
dependant the humors and capices of one man. If
Home Secretary msmanaged the police quarre!ed with the
magistrates and egregousy failed preserve the public tran
lulity, would be imagined that he held the key of
he Liberal policy and must be retained So again. if Chan
,eoT of the Exchequer let finances fall into confusion
and found OF arresng continual deficiency There
clearly has been great national scandal and the national
character and position have been evocably damaged The
House of Lords has made amends by grave repud
alton of the error, and with The Government to
found some proceeding thereupon. Simply ignore
buke just well supported and universally approved
cannot doubt it will be- may be easy for the moment
but is far from safe for the future"
Tie Daily Neps, which, probably, fairly represents the
popular opinion says

Both Proectlnlsts and Peetes venture to express an
opinion that Lord JOHN must go out since he has asserted
they that ne shared the responsibility Of every Leading
MEASURE with Lord PALMERsToN how then can he hold
office when the latter has been sgny denounced in the
upper House, l., however, happens that although the
LoRs may rail and reproach they submit the question
