Several diplomalis,s have received such
letters, being, in fact, private instructions

Where the Court and the Minister notori.
ously differ in opinion, as in the case Of
Lord Palmerston, it is not difficult to see
what must be the result of this practice,
which is declared to be unconstitutional.
There is also good deal Of direct, and
necessarily secret communication between
the English and certain Continental
Courts. Louis Napoleon's suspicious of
England, and it is said his "menace of

of the Court-that is the Prince Con.

THE EASTERN WAR.-The London
Morning Chronicle of the 7th days :" Il
is generally thought, both in London and
Paris, that the Emperor Nicholas is re-
solved upon war; Yet it may perhaps be
found that the last word of Russia was
reserved until further diplomatic chicane-
ry should have become impossible. The
chance of success in negotiation may have
been thought worth the risk of a rupture,
and yet there may be an intention to a.
void decisive struggle. On this very
slender thread hang all the remainin G
hopes ofpeace and the Western Courts
have fully completed their preparations
for the more probable alternative"
