IN ADVANCE OF THE MAIL
THE ATLANTIC'S NEWS.


Lord john Russell figures this week as the
principal feature of the news. The circum-
stances which lent him this prominence were
the disclosures he made in-his speech of Fri
day, the 9th (received here bv last steamer
and fully explained IN the Tfibune) respec-
ting the want of unanimity between himself
ard his colleague on the subject of the war;
in other words, that he, Lord John Russell. as
British plenipotentiary, expressed himself at
Vienna in favor of the peaee'propOsals mooted
by Count Buol and approved of by NJ. Drouyn
de PHuys but that on returning to England
he either did not communicate those seuti-
ments to his colleagues IN the Government,
swallowed his peace opinions, aud retained
office in Ministry pledged to war; while NJ.
Drouyn de PHuys, with finer sense of hon
or resigned. The case against Lord Russell
Is lorcibly put by Mr.. Disraeli, thus:
do not see that the explanations since
made by the noble lord at all changes his
situation with regard to the House, aud as
regards the narrative he made on Friday
night What did startle the House and
greatly disputed the public mind, was that it
came out not by hazard, but from notice
| formerly given, and evidently in a manner
well matured on the part Of Lord John Rus
sci, that he had returned TO England with a
project of pacification which he approved,
but which a majority Of the House and OF
the country neither at that time nor at this
moment would sanction; that he had recon-
mended this project to his colleagues; that
in consequence of their refusal to adopt it he
had not felt he was bound to consider whether
it was not his duty to retire from the govern
ment; and though influenced by other con-
siderations he remained member of the adj
ministration, he shortly afterward came down
to the House and made speech which con-
veyed to the country the impression that he
was an uncompromising advocate of the war,
and conveyed also to the House the idea that
he was convinced, from his experiences in
the conferences at Viena, that any attempt at
negotiation with any reasonable hopes of sue
cess was impossible-thereby conveying to
Parliament and the country an impression
utterly inconsistent with the facts of the
case.
The feeling on this matter had grown SO
! high that the existence of the Palmers.on
Ministry was put to the vote by Sir L. Lytton
| Bulwer moying-"That tho conduct of the
Minister charged with the negotiations at Vi
emma, and bis continuance in office as a re-
sponslble adviser of the Crown, have so
shaken the confidence which the country
should place in those to whom the admins
tration Of public affairs is entrusted" Nor is
this the only attack to which the Ministry is
exposed-Mr. Roebuck having moved for a
call of the House, July IL, on which occasion
the whole force of all sections of the Opposi-
ton will be brought to bear.
Contradictory rumors were afloat as TO the
course Lord Palmerston will pursue in this
dilemma Some Surmise that he will thy to
aSsuage the storm by throwing overheard
Lord John RUSSELL whose resignation he is
said 10 have had in his hands for some days.
Others say he will evade further response
bility by himself retiring. And yet others
maintain that if he does not obtain decisive
majority in favor of Col. Adsir's amendment
to Roebuck's want-of-coniidence motion
| (Which we refer to below,) he will dissolve
Parliament. Another report is that when
| Russell goes out he (RusselD will take the
Grey section of the Cabinet with him, and
that Palmerston will ill their places with
more decided men out of the Liberal ranks
And finally rumors from other quarters
whisper of Lord Derby as the coming mar
with another Coalition Cabinet
The SIEGE OF SEBAsTOPoL.-The position
of affairs remains as before the repulse Of June
1S. No permanent check has been sustained
by the besegers. Several regiments which
