The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1858-06-07

The DERRY Cabinet have achieved a nominal
triumph. The resolution of censure, on account
of the Indian dispatch, having been thrown out of
the House Of Lords, was subsequently withdrawn
by the mover, Mr.. CARDwELL, from the House of
Commons. Many things concurred to bring about
this result. Lord CANNING's proposed measures of
confscation in Dude, while they did not justify
the extraordinary harshness of the rebuke admin
istered to him by Lord ELLENBoRoUGH, were yet
too sweeping and indiscriminate to admit of a
satisfactory defence. But Lord ELLENBoRoUGHh av-
ing taken upon himself the sole responsibility of
the obnoxious Dispatch weakened still further the
opposition to his colleagues, by resigning his seat
in the Cabinet and this sacrifice, many of The Rad
lcals were willing to accept as an atonement for
the grave error he had unquestionably committed
In the nick of time, too, LAYARD--who lost his
seat in the House of Commons when PALMERsroN
dissolved Parliament and appealed to the Country
on the China question, arrived in London, fresh
from India, and announcing that he had satisfied
himself, from personal observation, that India was
ill governed, and that the natives had been grossly
abused-deended the tenor of Lord ELLENBoRoUGH's
dispatch-and called upon the Liberal members of
the lower House to sustain the DERBY Ministry
Almost simultaneously with the arrival of LAYARD,
the English Government received the correspon-
dence between the Governor-General of India, and
that gallant soldier Sir JAMES OUTRAM; in which
the latter "strongly and earnestly protested against
'Lord CANNING's confscation policy, but without
''etfect." As Sir JAMES OuTRAM, from his military
operations in Dude, and from his long service in
India, was eminenuy qualified to Judge of the
best measures to be pursued for the pacfcation of
the disturbed districts his emphatic dissent from
the policy adopted by Lord CANNING; and the CO.
incidence of opinion between himself and the
DERBY Ministry, so far as regarded the propriety
of such proclamation as that issued against the
land owners of Dude, gave to the Home Govern
ment a temporary strength which was Immediate
ly felt, in the change of sentiment among the indie
pendent members of the House of Commons and
in the demands made upon Mr.. CARDwELL for the
withdrawal of his resolution of censure. Finally,
Mr.. D. ISRAELI announced that the government had
qualified the bitterness of Lord ELLENBoRoUGHs
Dispatch by sending out to Lord CANNING 'the
''most cordial and sincere assurances of SYM
''pathy and support" AS the original design
of Lord ELLENBoRoUGH was thus efectually
frustrated, the Opposition had no longer any
substantial reasons for perssting in bringing their
resolutions of censure to q vote. But the conces-
sons the DERBY Ministry were constrained to
make, for the purpose of weathering the storm,
strikingly indicate their dependence upon the Radi
cal members of the House of Commons, and the
necessity they are under for seeking support from
men of adverse principles. The issue of the par
hamentary contest was, in point of fact, drawn
battle; Earl DERBY and his colleagues retaining
once only by the sacrifice of one member of the
Eaoine'' ana by sending promptly, on the heels of
'he obnoxious dispatch to Lord CANNING a message
'iia' was at once cordial and conciliatory And
ho"' "ha' erect will the prolongation of Earl
Daahi term OF Office have upon the very serious
oifncuity that has arisen between the United
STATES ana ENGlAND-upon the long mooted oues-
uon OF the Right OF Search? We answer ,,nho,;-
tatlngly that, so far as we concerned no,h;n,.
could have been more fortunate The ord ers undar
which the British Squadron in the Gulf Streo,,,
assumed to have acted, doubtless emanated r.,
the PALMERsToN Cabinet and the ministers now !,
power will hardly conceive it necessary to bola
themselves responsible for the acts of their prede
cessors. Moreover, in the party struggle now
pending, the bare possibility of war between the
UNITED STATES and ENGLAND, will be seized upon
by the political opponents of Lord PALMERsToN as
means of consolidating the power of the present
government Even the Abolition faction in Eng
land, which, for some years past, has been growing
'small by degrees and beautifully less" will hest
tate long time before consenting to sustain Lord
PALMERsToN in quarrel involving so deeply the
best interests of two kindred nations. If Lord
PALMERsToN cannot depend upon the abolition
sentiment for justification of his African Crusade
still less he rely upon the Manchester men led
by Mr.. BRIGHT, or upon the members of the Peace
party generally. These, strange to say, compose
the main support of the Tory Cabinet of Lord
DERBY, and as they hold the balance of power in
the House of Commons, there is every reason for
