don that firm neutrality which she has hitherto pre-
served called forth these manifestations in the
French capita, and elsewhere. Lord Derby aud his
colleagues throughout the quarrel observed the
most rigid impartaiity. They inclined neither 10
France nor 10 Austria, the correspondence the
affairs of Italy just issued clearly demonstrates.
That correspondence. from which we this day com.
mence the publication of extracts, abounds with
invaluable testimony in their favor, and We feel
confident that when the whole truth is known the
public will still more deeply regret the factious
vote by which embarrassment has been created
and temporary check given to patriotic con
servauVe administration.
Various sections Of the opposition coaesced to
disturb the harmony Of the present, although they
cannot unite for the purpose of maintaining the
future safety and dignity of this country. Already
olden jealouses are revived, and the disappointed
leaders Of the coalition are engaged in fierce con
teptions. The member for London anxious 10 OBJ

claimed reconciliation was but sham after III.
Lord P0lmerston consented to waive his Claims

for London regards the ascendancy Of his rival
with Jealous eye, and is already plotting for his

be formed On the principle of mutual concessions
audit different members, instead being honorable

neither harmony nOr consistency in their proceed

in all respects the opposite of Mr. Bright and his

delusion, which was equally sbortliyed. For six
teen months Lord Derby aud his colleagues have go
veined the country with success. Not a single
flaw can be discovered in their home and foreign
policy, and hostile majority is brought agains
them simply because certain chieftains do not love
the cold shade OF opposition, and factions think I'll

Legislators, so camorous for place, practised the
forbearance which the conservative party have al

much confusion in the direction of public affairs. Il
was tier duty TO compose their own differences be

and not to rush pell nell to the encounter simply
because they viewed the successful administration
affairs bya conservative government with jealous
eye.

for political leaders to reserve any explanation fo

explanation of extraordinary statements published

and we do not think that either the statesman wht
