As the meeting Of Parliauent approaches, rumors
of ministerial changes gain credence in public.
That most current at the present moment is. that
Lord Malmsbury will be succeeded 10 the Foreign
Office by Palmerston, and that Mr. Gladstone con-
sents to join the ministry, provided convoc Is
restored. Gladstone, as you aware, is . very
high churchman. mentioned in q recent letter,
that the governor generalshp of India had been
offered to another Peelte, the Duke Of Newc astle
cannot vouch for the correctness of these rumors
but 80 much is evident, that the present ministry
will endeavor to retain Office by strengthening their
party.
The Times having announced in a first leading
article that convocaton had been decided upon, the
Morning Herald the semi official organ Of the present
government, denied it in precise terms. Notwith-
stan ding this denial, believe that the idea
tertained, and is not even yet totally renquished
by Lord Derby. The restoration of all the powers
of convocaton would be tantamount to restoring
the clergy to share in the government of the
country beyond that which they possess already,
which many hold to be far too much The measure
is very unpopular among the low church party and
liberals, and il realized would lead to violent
scenes. The continued presence Of Bulwer at Rome
has alarmed the Protestant League. Their chair
man has written to Lord Derby to ascertain whether
it was true that England had accredited an envoy
to the Pope, and to know what had really passed
between Bulwer and Cardinal Antonell. Lord
Derby replied, that England had not accredited an
ambassador to the Court Of Rome, but that he did
not think it necessary to reply to any private ind
vidual respecting any conversation that might have
taken place at Rome or elsewhere. am informed
from the best informed sources, that the English
government still hopes to come to terms. Bulwers
mission. it is true was failure. He has, however,
procured the pardon Of Murray. Bulwer purposes
taking house ut the Eternal city, so that he ian
have an for being there whenever he likes.
Lord Derby has, moreover, secret agent at work
there Buiwer's mission to Rome will be brought
early before Parliament.
