The death of Lord PALMRRsToN,
Prime Minister of England, was not
an unexpected event. Still his de
mise, Mt the present juncture of az
fairs, may be OF the utmost impor-
tance. For it must not be forgotten
that this high parsonage had, more
than any other statesman in his
country, an almost uncomfortable
influence nay, in this respect, it
may be said that even superior to
that of his own sovereign, as had
been manifested in more than one
instance.
TO mention but the circumstance
Of the late Crimean war, when that
question was still undecided upon
in the British Cabinet, and there
found most determined opponent
in the late Prince ALBERT the
Prince Consort, who was 10th to
embroil the English aristocracy
with the Court Of ST. Petersburg
Lord PALMERsToN undertook to give
most nnceremonious lecture to this
private adviser of the Queen of
Great Britain, in reminding him
that British Ministers alone were
responsible to the royal Crown for
the measures of foreign policy, and
to abstain from his intermeddling
in outward affairs by private CORES
pondence addressed to foreign sove-
reign heads.
This sharp controversy between
the Prince Consort and lord Pal
VERSION did not little surprise the
public at the time, and may never
have been fully pardoned by the
Queen; but, with the British peo-
pie, it only placed the plucky Min
isterso much higher in their esti-
nation.
1t was generally admitted that
Lord Palmerston had also, against
the formal remonstrance of Prince
ALBERT, at the time and even with
out the royal sanction of the Queen,
acknowledged the coupd 'etat of Lou
is Napoleon in 1852, by which the
latter had subverted the French
Republic and subsequently pro-
claimed himself Emperor of the
French.
In fact, Lord PALMERsToN seems
to have adopted for his axiom, in
tho craftsmanship Of the latter part
of his life, that peace with France,
and consequently an entente, more
or less cordial, with its present ru-
Ter, was an indispensable requisite
to Great Britain's prosperity and
security.
TO this end he appears to have
lostsight of all other considerations,
and to have nearly assented to what
ever political measures were pro-
posed by the actual sovereign of
tho French nation,
Now that this great minister, for
he was great by his powers of en-
durance and continuance, has been
removed from tho stage of action !;
that tins link or bond between the
two Western European powers has
been broken, will there be also
rupture in the relative positions of
the two nations? Or, will the sue
ccseor of the late Prime Minister
whoever he may beat last consent
to the oOnyoning % q European
Congress, in order to debate the
momentous questions now occupy.
ing all the European courts, for the
purpose Of coming to some definite
understanding among the powers,
may be the patching up Of some
temporary truce or will the new
British minister, like CANNING after
the demise of Lord CAsTLEREAGH,
open his course by starting new
programme or poliey2
Who is the fortunate seer that
will penetrate the veil of the future,
