ENGLAND. The London Morning Advert
ser states that the cause of Lord Palmerston' s
resignation, was the interference, on the part
of the Prime Minister, with the affairs of the
Foreign Secretary that Lord Palmerston, on
ascertaining the fact, was indignant, and de-
manded an explanation. The answer of the
Premier was vague and shutting, and the re-
suit was lengthy correspondence between the
Foreign Secretary and the Premier. Lord
John Russell stated that, in consequence OF
some misunderstanding about foreign affairs,
Lord Palnerston had thought fit to resign
His resignation was agreed to, without the real
cause being understood The Premier, it is
said, wishes to place in the cabinet, in order to
propitiate the people of England, liberal and
independent men.
On the other hand, the News says that it al
most conclusively indicates treachery on the
part of some member of the cabinet; that a
conspiracy would seem to exist between some
one in Downing street and the court OF Vienna
to sacrifice Lord Palmerston; and apparently
that closer alliance may be formed between
England and Austria.
The Times states that the very last act of
Palmerston was to express his unqualified ap-
probation of Napeleon's coup d'etat.
1t is understood that Lord Palmerston means
to bring the whole matter before Parliament,
and some person, who processes to be well i'll
formed, asserts that to avoid such an event,
Lord John Russell will resign previous 10 the
commencement of the session.
