~. ,... debate on the Indian dispatch OF Lord
un.,he,.ush IA s.n continued aud will be closed
,hs.t 3 o'clock tomorrow morning. Since parry
l,,u ia far les strict 10 E0gland than in America
Ne yesut is entirely uncertain, though It IS already
h,swn that the majority either "ay cannot but be
very Insignificant. At the egnniDg OF tho debate,
Lord PAmerstop vas quite confident Of majority
Of at least 80 vo,es; On: tie great speeches OF SIR
Huh Csrn, the Solicitor General, Of Mr.. White
s1e, and Of the independent Members, Messrs Roe
lsoh, Bright aud Sir james Graham, have mate
rally altered the spirit Of the House. The fact that
Mr. Vernon Smit5, late Predict Of the Board Of
Control, has suppressed four semi official let-
ters Of the Governor. General, letters marked PR
vste, but written TO Mr.. Smith in hls official capac
Nv. and that Lord Pslmers.on conDived az such
Suppression, has seriously damaged The cauSe of
Ne Opposition. Tonight we snail hear some of
To greatest efforts IN 0ratOry; Sir f. BGlwer Lyt-
tsn, Gladstone and D.srael expected to meas
uYe swords with Lord PalmerstOn, whois somewhat
sres.fallen SINCE he has learned that, III case OF
MINISTERIAL crisis the Queen would most likely send
not for him, but for the Duke Of Nt,ocas,, to form
o new Cabinet Since the attask on the Ministers
originated exclusively in the Cambridge House
sahal, with the object of carrying Lord PslmerstOn
oaee more into power, the debate is meaningless If
1Ae final retult is but 10 bring new set of men 10
he Treasury bench, and ignore Lord Palmerstons
slans to the Premiership. AS TO the public at large,
ne debate has struck 1t with the force OF most
hsentable revelation. Whatever be the opinions
Of foreigners and of scholars, the great bulk
of the English middle-classes were entirely ig.
psraat of the real facts of the Indian con-
suests and anne1atons. With Mics Harriet Mar
tiasau, they sincerely believed that neither the
Company nor the successive Governor-Gener-
Ms and English Ministers had ever had sny inten-
toa of extending the Empire, but that they were
forced for sefpreservatlon from conquest to con-
guest, without having coveted the land and prop
srty of th0r neighbOrs. Bot now they have been
tsh by Sir G. Cornwall Lewis by Mr.. Whiteside,
ky Lerd Peterborough, by Roebuck and Bright
In fact by the most eminent men Of every party
Nat the English title to the Indian Empire is
founded exclusively on fraud, rapacity, and tie
superior physical and intellectual force of the Eng
ksh, but neither on justice nor morality. 1t was
painful to the public to hear such things, but it is
expected that the lesson ei not be forgotten, and
he course of llbustering will at last be brought to
o close. II was equally painful to the religious
community to see how deeply Lord Shaftesbury is
mixed up with the party politics and personal in
tzigues of Lord PalmerstOn. His frequent visits at
Cambridge House during the great May meetings,
and the immortality of the late Premier are now too
web Known not TO throw an unpleasant light on the
pslItical character of the pious Earl.
The case of Mr. BorrOmeo, alias DR.. Tucker,
The cunning swindler who forged the reports of
the bogus Italian Constitutional Conference and
succeeded in cheating The Times and other En-
shsh papers, shows the of: hand way in which the
English press is conducted. Such cases would be
impossible in the United States even on the Con-
knest
While England is fully absorbed in the party
scramble for power great events are preparing IN
France. Napoleon feels the truth of Field Mar
shal Castellanes report that the army is tired of
inaetion and wants foreign war. He sees that
he is losing his prestige. Count MigeOn some
what questionable character, who had just left the
prson to which he had been sentenced for having
appropriated to himself the honors OF the Legsn
a'Henaeur without any authority, has been re-
excited in Alsatia to the Corps Legsla.if, though
the Project and the terrible Gen. L'Espinasse him
self publicly declared in the most formal way that
SAe Emperor was opposed to bis election Trlhlng
n this occurrence seems, it has left great ln-
preston on the mind and has considerable indu-
enee on the plans of the Emperor, who now sees
that the spirit of opposition has extended from
Paris to the Provinces, and that the French have
again begun 10 think and act for themselves in
spite Of the terrorism of the Government, the IN
science of the army and the influence of the Roman
Catholic clergy. The attention of the nation must
be diverted, and therefore he is now picking
quarrel apparently with Turkey about Montenegro,
but in reality with Austria. There is no doubt
that in the present state of Europe, every Power
will do its utmost 10 avoid war with France;
still if Napoleon sees that bis tenure of the throne
IL threatened by peace, he will not stop until he
finds an opportunity for a Campaign Last Sunday
Belgium was somewhat alarmed by sinister ru-
mors; England, even during the excitement OF the
Indian debate has not forgotten TO strengthen the
naval defenses Of the coutry aud to equip Chan
sel fleet for any emergency; Austria is On the
alert in Italy; all Europe, with the exception of
Russia, distrusts the French Emperor and is pre-
pairing for the eventuality of a Continental war
Under such circumstances Wa cannot woader if
commerce is staguant everywhere, if nobody dares
10 enter into speculstions, if the banks are over
flowing with gold whilo the industrial populatio,
are reduced in income, and the agricuItursts
cannot dispose of their produce. The situation is
serious in all the capitals of Europe.
As regards the Montenegro difficulty, the fact,
