Opening of tho British Parliament
Russell nnd Observation-Disclosures and
France.
From the news received by the Cambria, we
learn that Parliament has opened In England, and
hat the war has begun between Lord Palnerstor,
late Minister Of Foreign Affairs, and Lord John
Russell the first minister Of the crown. Both
gentlemen being remarkable for their pugnacity,
. spirited, desperate contest may be expected
between them. The premier states that the ex-
Minister of Foreign Affairs was kicked out CT the
cabinet on account CT his unqualified approval OF
the ccr2 d'ttat Of Louis Napoleon This is all
rretence, and Lord 'ohn Russell is for his inches,
about the greatest little tyrsnt that ever held the
helm OF state in The British empire. II the trnth
were known, he cordially approves Of all that Louis
Napoleon has done. 1t is not long since he caused
the suspension Of the hdteas corTs act, ard arrest.
cd and imprisoned hundreds or men for no other
srime than mere suspicion Of political disafecton,
and possibly Of revolutionary ideas. AT this mo-
merit some Of the leading men Of Ireland, in whom
the people lad boundlsss confidence, are pining in
exile, and suffering the punishment of felons
Tor political offences. Blu. Lord John Russell
has put tho resignation Of Lord Palmerston
OF the ground of the corp d ttat in order to mako
pu. him out--coatc qui colte-anl the event in
Paris was seized as good opportunity. bscausei.is
unpopular in England.
There has been very bad feeling for long
time between the two mobiles, and it has now
speuly broken out, with great vrulence. Palmer.
s.on has been always an manageable kind Of
genius, who acted on his own responsibility in
his own department, ard always kicked out of
harness whenever the premier attempted to drive
or lead him in foreign affairs. Lord John will APP
peal to he popular feeling against Palmerston,
and Palmerston will appeal to the popular feeling
against Lord John. II Palmerston has been in
favor Of the coVp a'ttat Of Louis NAPOLEON, he has
been against the encroechments of Russia and
Austria, and il favor Of constitutional liberty in
Italy, Sicily and Hungary; and probably he will
be able TO explain Why it is that he has taken
sides with Louis Napoleon. 1t seem, that the
Earl Of Derby, the Hotspur better known as
Lord Stanley, has also contributed some ingre-
dents 10 the boiling csuldron of political excite
ment True TO his principles as tory and bis
sntecedents in Parliament, he has declared in
favor OF the despotism in Paris. There are many
OF his stamp who have been always frigh ened from
their ropriey whenever the Irish people made an
eint to ASSERT their freedom, and all the hor.
rors Of Pope and porery have been copjured
up to scare John Bull. These men also took
alarm at the progress Of republiclnism in France,

houFe is on FIRE, take care Of your own" they
were delighted TO sec Prince Louis put an ex.
tiDgusher upon democracy at the other aiae Of the
Ch,nnel. Yet large number Of liberal conserva-
tyes Of the school Of the late Sir Robert Peel, are
As much opposed 20 the course Of Louis Napoleon as
they are to repu5lcanism and there can be no
doubt that both parties WILL in tie end, be hostile

The popular feeling Of England is undoubtedly
against the usurper. That feeling, when il is
fully matured and embodied in The action ofparties,
may lead TO consequences that arc not ut present

recent oUtrsge in Ireland, and promises to give
