LORD JOHN RUSSELL AND rHk MINISTRY IN TROUBLE.
Lord John Russell figures this week as the prin-
cipa feature Of the news. The circumstances
which lent him this pre-emnencs were disclosures
he made In his speech Of Friday, the 9th, (received
here by the last steamer,) respecting the want Of
unanimity between himself and bis colleagues on
the subject OF the war; In other words, that he,
Lord John Russell, as British plenipotentiary, ex
pressed himself at Vienna In favor of the peace
proposals. mooted by Count Buol, and approved of
by NJ. Drouyn de rHlys, but that on returning TO
England he either did not communicate these SEN
timents TO his colleagues in the Government, or
swallowed his peace opinions and retained Office
in ministry pledged TO war; while M. Drouyn de
| lHuys, with finer sense Of honor resigned The
case against Lord Russell is forcibly put by Mr.
D'Israeli, thus,
~ do not see that the explanation since made
by the noble lord at all changes his situation with
regard to the House, and as regards the narrative
he made on Friday night. What did startle the
House and greatly disquieted the public mind
was, that it came out, not by hazard, but from no
tce formally given, and evidently in a manner well
matured on the part Of Lord John Russell, that he
had returned TO England with project of Paci6-
cation which he approved, but which the great
majority of the House and of the country neither
at that time nor at this time would sanction that
he had recommended this project to his colleagues
that in consequence of their refusal to adopt it. he
had felt he was bound to consider whether it was
not his duty to retire from the government; and
though Influenced by other considerations, he re-
NAMED member OF the administration; he short
ly afterwards came down to the House and made
| q speech which conveyed to the country the i'm
preston that he was an incorporating advocate
OF the war, and conveying also to the House the
idea that he was convinced, from his experiences
in the conferences at Vienna, that any attempt at
| negotiation with any reasonable hopes of success
was mpossible--thereby conveying to Parliament
and the country an impression utterly inconsistent
| with the facts OF the CASE"
| The feeling on this matter had grown 30 high
that the existence of the Palmerston ministry was
put to the vote, by Sir T. Bulwer Lytton moving
"That the conduct of the minister charged with
the negotiations at Vienna, and his continuance in
office as responsible dviser Of the Grown, have
| shaken the confidence which the country should
place in those to whom the administration Of pub
| lie affairs is intrusted."
Nor is this the only attack to whichthe ministry
| Is exposed Mr.. Roebuck having moved for call
of the house July 18th, on which occasion the
whole force of all sections Of the Opposition will
| be brought to bear.
Contradictory rumors were ahoat as to the course
Lord Palmerston will pursue in his dilemma Some
| surmise that he will try to assuage the storm by
throwing overheard Lord RUSSELL whose resigna-
ton he Ia said to have had in his hands for some
days. Others say he will evade further response
bility by himself retiring. And yet others main
tain that If he does not obtain decisive majority
in favor Of Colonel Adairs amendment to Roebuck's
want-ofconfdence motion, he will dissolve Parlia-
ment.
This Adair amendment, lie, that when Mr.. Roe
buck shall bring forward his motion, he Colonel
Adair) will move as an amendment, " that this
House is of opinion that the councils which deter
mined the expedition to the Crimea were consist
ent with bold and sagacious policy, just to our
allies, and commensurate with the objects of the
war, and, further, that perseverance in similar
policy can alone afford the hope Of insuring an
honorable and permanent peace"
Another report is that when Russell goes out,
he (RusselD will take the Grey section of the Cab
met with him, and that Palmerston will fill their
places by more decided men out of the Liberal
ranks. And finally, rumors from other quarters
whisper of Lord Derby, as the coming man with
another coalition Cabinet.

father. Comrades, thank you for it.
my brothers! large achievements are march
