ms political atmosphere is again cloudy. Lord
John Rrsseu has got into mess The ministry is
ncs unanimous, break up is imminent, and the
eprcstior Ia bringing oil s heavy guns to bear
.rm Lord John, who is q regular kalsk,n in his
vsv in the hopes tina. ii they get him oas the rest
rsust TO- The fac. is, st the present moment Lord
John Is very unpopular. Yeur readers viii remsm-
lar how he and n. Dfouyn de rHuys went to vi
anna TO attend the celebrated Conference which led
70 nothing and how both Foreign Secretaries we're
.eme,ized by Count Buol with al Austrian
view OF the case, and supported an Aus
risn propcsL which was Immediately declar.
"a iDsdmissble by the French and English 60
vsrnmeDts. Louis Napoleon, swho il . msn OF
energy, st once dismissed Dsouyn &c rHuys, IS not
being mp to the mark, and appointed Count Walew-
shi in his stead. Lord John resumed his ofios as
Secretary for the Colonies the conferences ct vien
m were declared over, and the war went on in the
0yimsa.
TIE very doubtful position Of Austria has, how.
sver, led to demands for explanation. She has re-
duced her army; she is in possession Of the Dsnu.
hAn Prinoipalities; she refuses to 60 to war with
Russia; and by the withdrawal Of her troops from
,he Polish frontier, has positively enabled Rossa
10 send large reinforcements to the Crimes.
In his speech on the opening of tbs Corps Lsgis.
stif, the other day, you will have observed that
Louis Napoleon In few words clearly defined ths
position Of Austria. The spesch made great gen
sAtion ct Vienna; in fscs, heavy fall took place in
public securities, aud the opinion was that rup.urs
WAS imminent between the Western Powers aud
Austns. This opinion YVES somewhat modified by
the article in the Moaiscuv of the folio wing day.
Tho Austrian government had, no wevsr, been accus-
ed by the French Emperor OF not having fulfilled its
engagements, end the opposition in London took 40
The cudgels on tho occasion.
There certain hints thrown out, yet scarcely
audible that Lord Dalhousie viii be entrusted with
the formation Of new ministry soon "a he arrives
- England. The appointment Of Lord Canning as
his successor Governor General Of India, has been
confirmed by the Queen. The Duke Of Newcastle.
whe expected 70 get it, has sailed for the Crimsa.
AZ observed above, the Austrian government is
sore at the speech Of Louis Napoleon. TIE Official
columns Of the Vienna Gazette have published q
reply in the shape OF justification Of the policy Of
Austria-
though Lord Grcsvenors bin has been withdrawn,
NE public excitement the subject had not absed.
Jhere were very few carriages in the park 50 the
mob, consisting chiefly Of boys, went TO Begrsvs
square and smashed all the 6ne plate glsss wndows

another attempt at row win be made on Sun lay

tho Trinity House, q few weeks ago, constitutional
government ID now undergoing severe trial, there
axe other persons and things which not less ex
posed to an ordeal Of fire. Louis Napoleon, siuce
he cleared the deck of the vessel OF state OF the old

more difficult task before him than now. He Is
alone amid the breakers, the sky L. threatening,
the wind preeages terrible storm. God haip HIM,
and keep him stout heart and clear brain, f.. he
will need them both.
