LONDON, July 4, 1854.
IL is the strange eaprces with which the history OF
our days abound that the most anxious exertons of states
man In favor of certain policy become the serious OBJ
sacles its realization The of Lord Aberdeen has
been identified longer than thirty with the OF
peace and of Russian encroacbments the continent
He has called the author Of the treaty of Adrianope
he was depostay of the memorandum of 1874 and
his appointment the Premiership in the present coalition
gave the signal for the actual Russian aggression
upon Turkey He would consider this overt attack
as Jeui During six months from the time IL took place
he continued negotiate Constantnop at Nlennahe
struggled and prayed for peace. When forced, at length
declare war; he takes every possible care not 70 make
and does he believe the certainty that the
would be satisfied with the expected capture of 81
listria when he takes opportunity to intimate In the
British tat peace might be concluded much
than many noble lords seemed to think.
Now there is no question that Lord Aberdeen in all his
dongs has been the representative the foreign policy
and views governing classes of England But the ars
tocracy are little fond Of having their degenerate
predictions exposed by the cynical cowardce OF Lord
Abcrdeen's language the middle class were pleased
with Mr.. Cobdens unmtgaed PRONUNCIATION OF the doc
trine of peace all price. They both require peace
they require it to be surrounded by the ornament
of braggadoco, such Lord Paimcrston knows how to
us 1t by this knowledge, by the perfect possession of
this Lord Pamerston has been enabled to obtain for
the conduct of Russian agent the name Of truly English
minister by the neglect of this cheap precauton that
Lord Aberdeen has been made to bear exclusively all the
odium of pro- Russian dipomatst. Thus You viii un-
derstand how it happened hathc nation and the press
having been induced and worked upon de Tongue to
pect Aberdeen the only obstacle to the vigorous
against Rushs nconsderate speech containing the above
nmaton became the signal for general ouburst against the
Premier, which Lord Pamerson and the whig fraction in
coalition resolved blowing the cabinet and
getting rid of it's Peete section. Hence the motions of Mr.
Lord Dudley Stuart and the violent attack OF Lord
Cancarde. But for the sake OF place, OF power and
aps from suspicion that the only remaining vital form
ia, .isa- Lard thnr
deem chose to maintain his position He consequently de-
iyered second speech, explanation which has been
admirably characterized in weekly paper IT Lord Aber
deems defence badly succeeded in other places its
was complete in the Lords. The lords who know
more of the realities of English State craft than other classes
comprehended Lord Aberdeen when he to
of phrases appropriate dangerous unpopular
y caused by his first speech Lord Aberdeen not carried
away by tho excitement of popular war; He does not
deest Nicholas despo; for being logical that would
compel him to detest French Austrian alliance He does
suppose that Great Britain which in chronic fear lest
reform bill should be carried, and in permanent feak
because the electors corrupt in condition to teach
other nations how live and to lead in revolutionary
war to put Rusanism and to put up freedoms Lord
Aberdeen cynical merely understands that his bus
ness a Minister in the matter is to protect the Integrity
and independence of the Ottoman empre and he he
will do that take proper guarantees for that and he will
say more.
The the great difference between his two speeches
was doubt that the time of the first the fall of Sis
looked to- and that when he had his words the
performance had materially facilitated for Lord Aber
deem by the Of the Russian defeat 1t matters little,
however, whether that his only motive, whether it
was also certain extent the necessity of outbddng the
popuar war; party of the Pamerstonans whose conspra
cy against him desired BATTLE The great fact is that
coalition remains and he at its head but the definite

good behavior towards Turkey The great fact s that the
ANONYMOUSLY
cannot conclude peace before having obtained material
satisfaction for his defeat from the Turks The great faci is
that the Austrians have commenced the occupation of Wa
cha whereby they ntepose barrier between those
Russians and Turks-a position which, later,
embroi them with either The great fact is that the Car
has refused the Austrian ultmaum and proposes to
main in M0ldava; that between Austria and Russia is
therefore, almost nerabe that the Prussans will have to
come to decision whether they will side with the
the other that the French and English being looked
upon by the Turks ntrudes andsha have
their alliance by immediate act OF hostility against the
Crimea may expect become involved in quarrels with
the population and that Napoleon will
require additional loan for glory at all All these
things taken together it matter OF surprise that Lord
Aberdeen has not only abandoned again all hopes OF speedy
settlement but, accepting the suddenly reality, de
fines himself such end for it, the end Of which he will not
be likely ever to witness
Meanwhile the impaence of the public for really
warke enterprises the part of the allied armies and fleets
is daily increasing The question is whether Lord
Aberdeen supposng him be sincere in his unexpected
determination to pursue the with vigorous hand
than before has created by his long vacntoDs and de
lay very serious difficulties to his course The Morning
Herald observes with regard to the naval operations But
for such accidents that which happened to the unfortunate
Tiger, dash such that of Captain Hall at Eknesc mis-

and disaster at Gama Kareby, should have little

our chen the Baltic gives remarkably small nsaments
OF the expectations raised in the public mind by his
his speeches. But let Lord Aberdeen send the pos
