LONDON May 20, 1865.
Politically, we are all waiting for tomorrow night
As you know by telegraph Mr.. Disraeli is again in
difficulties. He has been beaten upon two divisions
on the Scotch Refom bi-one being in regard to the
abolition Of ten small and corrupt English boroughs
and the other in regard to the abolition OF rating in
Scotland Both defeats were unnecessary and were
caused by Mr.. Disraeli's unavoidable absence from
the House during the debate. He committed the con-
duct Of the bill to the Attorney General and this is
the result The truth is that MI. Disraeli Is now
fighting Parliament singe-handed. He has nobody
to help him and everybody against him in the House.
But he Is sustained and encouraged by the personal
sympathy OF the Queen, and to please her he con-
times the unequal struggle. Undoubtedly he should
have resigned or dissolved Parliament after his de-
feat on the irish Church question, and he would have
done so but FOR the Queens interference. Now this
much misunderstood man has borne every sort OF
Parliamentary humiliation for her Msjesty's sake,
and You may be sure that when he loses the Premier
ship he Win have his reward In another shape.
But during this grave ministerial crisis, when
everybody else Is anxiously counting me moments
before tomorrow evening, when Mr.. Disraeli Will
declare the intentions Of the government, the Queen
mas gone quietly or to Balmoral, as If no change
OF ministers were possible, and the Prince OF
wales Is inaugurating the Art Exhibition
az Leeds, leaving royalty unreprescnted in London.
npl are certain TO notice. and hope you will repub-
s lhe severe but deserved attack upon her Majesty
which appears editorialy In this mornings times.
Inc article rebukes Mr.. Disrael for permitting the
Queen 10 leave London NJ such juncture but that
~ simply the Parliamentary manner Of rebukng the
uueel hersel1 That article not written without
que reason, and its tone hints at the knowledge or
Iacts Which had Inc honor to communicate to the
HBRALp nearly month ago. For her own sake, as
10 nave remained In London now at any sacrifice:
but her obstinate persistence in her own whms and
wishes has again involved Mr. Disraeli In a lnuddle
from which he Is al present unable to see clearly any
way Of escape
Next to their own political affairs the English
people are now most Interested in the affairs OF the
United states, AMI especially In the Presidents trial.
The subject Is almost as much talked of here as in
America and the motives OF the impeachers are al.
most as well understood. The cable telegram an
nouncing that the eleventh article of the Indictment
had been thrown out by the Senate was gladly re.
ccived but there IL a suspicion that the President
will still be convicted notwithstanding the moral
and legal failure OF the case against him. The trial
has, however completely ruined the republican PARTY
in the estimation Of all persons not connected with
the radical London Star, and Congress has sunk
lower than ever through the conduct Of the lmpeach-
ment Managers and the Washburne Donnely

sent here as the American Minister in case OF
