LONDON, Jug 2s, 1870.
Her Majesty's ministers are Kept In q state of

they in allegiance, and themes like education and
Irish land have faded out Of sight as efectualy az

stone and Earl Granville have all their time occu-
pied reading dispatches from the Continent and
sending instructions to their ambassadors. Perhaps
there never was graver period IN the history OF
English politics, or that made greater demands
upon the tact temper. discretion and diplomacy Of
her statesmen. The late Earl Of Clarendon, though
rather antiQuated in his opinions anu little too
conservative in character wOrthily to re.
prcseat the advanced opinion OF Great
Britain, was, at all events, a man whose
experience and counsel would have been of
incacuable service during the present crisis. His
knowledge Of European courts, his personal ac-
quantance with the soyere;gns, his long training in
the Foreign once aud his high reputation abroad
which caused his name 70 carry with IL great In
Huence. would nave been worth more than rubies 10

with the astutestinteliects OF Continental diplomacy
No wonder that Mr.. Gladstone looks worried and
harassed, care-worn and ont OF health no wonder

that Earl Granville almost feels his burden to be
heavier than he can bear ana seeks frequent refuge

WITH ana he VINO attempts to sup with either must
needs have long spoon Mr. Gladstone Is painfully
aware that great caution Is necessary in dealing
with either OF these statesmen. and that mistake
or wrong movement must be purchased with heavy
penalties.
No people are more jealous, uneasy or irritable
than arc the English during Continental embrOil-
ment. Their honor they regard as thing to be pre-
served even at the cost OF new national debt, and
while they call out peace thcy i'll their heart OF
