On the Goth of August, 1853, Panerston dis
missed Parliament with the assurance that, the
people Mi sht be tram, nil to the Eastern difficult
ties; the evacuation of the inequalities WAS
guaranteed by his confidence in the honor and
" character OF the Russian Emperor, which would
move him to withdraw bis troops fro II the
d" Principalit :" On the Sd December, the
Turkish feet was destroyed by the Russians at
Snope. On the 18th, the -Four Powers sent
note to ConstantinOple, in which, 10 reality, far
more concessions were asked from the Porte than
even in the proceeding note of the Vienna Con-
ference. On the llth the British Ministry tele
grspbed to Vienna that the Shope affair was no.
considered an obstacle to the continuation If the
negotiations. Pamerston consented expressly
to this; but on the next day be resigned-osten
sibly for some difference respecting Russells
Reform bill, in reality, in order to lake the pub
lie believe that he had resigned on grounds Of
foreign and war policy His purpose being OBJ
tanned, he retntered the Cabinet after few days
and thus avoided all unpleasant explanations in
Parliament.
In l-ji the performance opened with the resig-
nation of one of the junior Lords of the Treasury,
Mr.. Ssdeir, who also was the Ministerial broker
of the Irish brigade. ScsndalOus disclosures in
an Irish Court of law, deprived the A1ninistra-
ton Of his talents. Afterwsrd fresh scandalous
matter came forward. Mr.. GIL 4dstone, tue vir-
tuous Gladstone, attempted 10 procure the COVER
norihp of Australia for one of his relations, his
own secretary, certain Lawley, known ooly a,
betting ms n and jobber on II Stock Z xchaDge;
but, fortunately, the matter crept out too sOon
In the same way, the same Gladstone was IN
pleasantly connected with vice by the absconding
with a col siderable amount Of public money, of one
OFlaberty man employed under him aud
placed in his post by bim Another individual
of the name of Hayward, wrote voiuniAOus
pamphlet Of no literary or scientific value against
Disraeli, and was rewarded By Gladstone with an
Office in the PoOr.Law Board.
Parliament met in he beginning of February.
On the 9th PalmerstOn gave notice of bill for
the organization of the militia in ireland aud
Scotland; but as war was actually declared on
the 9th March, he considered it his duty no! to
bring it forward before the end Of June. Ga the
Eth Russell brought In his Reform bill, only to
withdraw it ten weeks later, with tears in his
"eyes," also because war had beer declared. Ia
March, Gladstone comes for ward with bis budget,
asking merely "for the cum which would be
necessary to bring back the %, 900 men about to
"leaye the British shores" THANKS to his col
iesgues, be Is now saved that trouble. In the
mean time the Gar, by che publication Of the Sc
cret correspondence, forced the French and
English Cabinets to declare war. This secret
correspondence, beginning with one of Russell's
dispatches of the llth January, 1853, proved that
at that time the British Ministers wero fully
aware Of the aggressive intentions Of Russia. All
their assertions about the honor and character of
Nicholas and the pacific and moderate attitude
OF Russia, now looked ike so many barefaced IN
truths, invented merely to huubug John Bull.
On the 'th of May, Lord Grey, feeling strong
vocation for the poet of Minister Of War, in order
to ruin discipline in the army as be had ruined
allegiance in almos! every British Colony during
his former Colonial aiministration-Lord Grey
