from the london Times, Dec 81
We regret TO learn tlat after full discussion Of the
subject by the Cabinet has been determined that Lord
Palmerson shall not attend the Congress the Penpo
entary OF England We had hoped the obvious ad
vanages resulting from the Premlers presentation OF
this country would have outwegbcd the OF
his absence at important time. However, the original
plan is to be carried out Lord Cowley will attend
explain, and, far possible, enforce the Of his
governm Mt among tho Plenpotentiares. 1t need
said that the which have dssiaded govern
nlent from parting with their chief have refe

| be transacted the meeting of Parliament
| The Congress assemblies nominally the 5h Of
January, but racoy and for real business earlier
PROBABLY than the 18th, while Parliament meets earlier
than usual namely, on the Gath. Lord Palmerston must
ihen either be absent during the arer part Of the
sion, there be change of plenipOtentiaries
which would be worse thal leaving everything TO Lorl
| Cowley from the beginning.
We doubt not, however, thai part Of the public will
learn with kind Of satisfaction that ptc postary is
