Aberdeen Prince Albert.
There seems to be no longer any doubt that Alb
erdeen and Prince Albert have had the principal
share in making England play her disgracefu part
| in the Oriental question. Aberdeen, from having
been young dplomatst at the head quarters of the
allies during the final campaigns against Napoleon
has always entertained antpathy to France, and
been pre- udiced in favor of Russia Prince Albert,
| IN consequence of being near relative of the King
of Belgium, has, from the first dreaded a war lest,
among its other accidents, it should dethrone his
kinsman, and extend the frontier of France to the
Rhine. Both Aberdeen and Prince Albert, in add-
ton, sympathze with despotism from principle and
are averse to the rule Of the people. 1t is Russian
absolutism, moreover that they like, not French for
the latter exists by universal suffrage while the for
mer is wholly dynastc. 10 avoid rupture with the
Gar, therefore, has been the object of the two from
the beginning Of the quarrel. Compelled by the
public sentiment of England to make show OF
spirit, they have talked occasionally big words. but
words which, it is highly probable, they at the time,
secretly acquainted the Gar meant nothing.
! A review of the past six months, in fact, makes
this treachery nearly certain. The Russian royal
family, it is notorious, have always been among the
most active of Russian diplOmatiSts Our readers
cannot have forgotten the sudden desire Of various
Russian princes, during last summer, to visit Eng
land At the time, it said, in more than one
quarter, that their visits not entirely journeys
of pleasure Public attention called to
the indelicacy of the Queen and Prince Albert being
so intimate with the members of royal house,
which had Just committed a Wonton aggression on
an ally of England, and which, in few months,
might be arayed against the British in deadly
war. But these warnings were almost entirely I'M
needed. The Russian Processes were feted, were
received at court en- tnmILe and finally left England
under of royal ship, and amid the thunder of
complimentary broadsides Now, however, the pur-
pose OF their visit is Clear because the of
their Vaccinations is apparent. They visited Lon
don to proptate the Court and blind the ministry
and we'll have they succeeded. All through the pitt
able negotiations of the autumn, Aberdeen and
Prince Albert have been the tools of Russia, playing
the game Of the Gar against the interests of Eng
land
The treachery of Aberdeen and Prince Albert may
be suspected from another fact. The journals under
the control of the Court have labored all along tt
create popular feeling in favor of Russia. Ever
when the high handed acts OF the Gar have caused
an irresistible outburst of indignatlon that ever
these papers have been compelled to yield temporar
y the storm, they have FASTENED TO resume then
old tone the moment the tempest had passed. The
Q Times when the Principalities first invaded
and afterwards when the Turkish feet was burned
at SinOpe, breathed, for day two, nothing bu
fire and slaughter; but, at the first chance it haC
I
sia to cav at Turkey and to endeavor to turn pub
lie sentiment In these efforts it assisted by th
i fact, that, when the came, it had been among
the fe-cest on the other side. In short, the conduc
: of the Times throughout all this controversy, ha
e been most damaging TO Turkey, and has every ap
pearance of having been adroity regulated to pro
l. duce that result nay to produce it under the ap
J. pearance Of sympathy with the Sultan. To on
r. minds it is clear that Aberdeen and Prince Aber
II have been betraying England. But how will the
y meet Parliament? We do not envy either of then
