Apeording to reliable intelligence, the Austrian govern- ment had refused the proposition that Baden should be fhe place of mecting for the proposed Congress. The Prench government is sald to have consequently left the @heice of the town to Austria, reserving only the condi- ‘tiem that it must be in communication with Paris by rail- ‘way and telegraph. ‘The Dresden Journal states that the five Powers may be wegarded as having agreed to the preliminaries of the Gougress; that the day of meeting will probably be April ‘Beth, bat that the place of meeting remains unsettled. A despatch from Paris, dated Friday, the 1st, says:— ‘Zee following is the present position of polit af- ‘faira;—Piedmont is pot to be admitted into the Congress ua ene of the great Fowers, Austria and Rusia having ‘em thse allowed to the Tialian Siaies.

Everywhere his steps are dogged, his slightest change of feature scanned, his most common place expressions analyzed and tormented. He is generally closeted with the Emperor some two hours at a time, and is in a perpe- tual state of escillation betwixt Lord Cowley’s residence, the Palais Royal, and the Hotel des Affaires Etrangéros, the residence of Count Walewski. He is a man fall of health and strength. His maasivd head is just such as gives you the idea of strong intellect, intense fixity of pur- pose, an iron will and indomitable courage, When he speaks, or rather I should say, converses, it is always ‘with verve, and a racy energy. His language is flowing and easy, while, at the same time, {tis eminently sen- tentiouz, He is observed to be particularly impressive im his attentions to the ex-King Jerome. ‘M. Delaugh, the Minister of the Interior, has intimated to the different editors of journals that while the govern- ment abstains from exercising apy authority in the mat- ter, it appeals to their patriotism as Frenchmen to abstain from apy irritating remarks while the important Con- grees is sitting, on which the present mémentous crisis depends, There is clearly a desire to assume a concilia, tory aspect just now. In fact, not only before Europe, but before the French people, it is of consequence to do eo. Silently, however, and without os- tentation, the preparations for war are con- tinued as energetically as ever. Returns to in- quiries on the subject have been given by the various railroad companies, and it is ascertained that 150,000 men can be poured into Turin in four days; orders have been sent to Algiers to have everything ready for instant em- barkation. The greatest activity still prevails at all tho areena!s, and fresh hands are being taken in every day: Young Prince Napoleon does not hesitate to express his contempt whenever the hopes of peace seem in the ascendant. It cannot be denied, nevertheless, that the moneyed classes of France bave exhibited a dogged indisposition to any rupture of the peace which has sorely tried the firm. nees of Napoleon. We had not calculated upon it. With | his head full of les idées, every step he has taken since his ‘accession to power has had for an object a legitimate war, which would recall the ancient glory of his eagles. For this it is that through good and evil report he has 80 strenuously sought the English alliance; for this it is that peace has been the cuckoo cry of his policy; for this it isne warred with Russia, and as quickly made peace; for this he has covered France with a network of railway, has kept the army up to its highest point of effi- ciency, and finally raised a navy which is now the terror of his powerful and much courted ally across the Chan- nel. And now, when the fruition of his dreams seems witnin bis grasp—when he has got exactly the sort of quarrel which would seem to give him a pseudo justifica- | tion in drawing the sword, and which in its progress might imperceptibly draw bim on to tho completion of his des- tiny—id est, to the revuscitation of the great empire of bis ancestor—the French people themselves fail him. Like the marshals who, before the abdication of Fontainebleau, are said to have turned a deaf ear to the stirring “Let us march” of their great captain, because, as he exclaimed afterwards in the bitterness of exile, he had made them too rich, 80 the money saving bourgeoisie of the last half of the nineteenth century prefer to stop at home. For all this, however, men for whose opinions it is im- possible not to have great respect, believe the Emperor will pursue his course, follow his star, &c.,&c. Ia the army ‘there is no other thought but war, and unquestionably with it the projected war is most popular. ‘A first or se- cond victory will give me all France to a man,” Napoleon once Tage at the prong. ar when ae ven- Vared.to touch w e reluctance of rgeatsie, and of thst Temfeure’”” The same persons «nick thet little is to be hoped from ny Congress; that the minds of the chief parties are at present strung ‘woo igh a ten- sion, and have been too long screwed to the sticking polat to hope for any voluntary relaxation. Nothiog bot really | forcibly unscrewing them will lower their tone, and that | implies battle. A Cougress is, in fact, only useful when | one party has been conquered. | Accounts from Vienna state that no fast trains will ran after the 29th of March on the Southern Railway, between | the capital and Trieste, as the transport of troops which are | toformacamp at Garza, and to watch the Dalmatian | const, will commence on that day. Baronne de Brueys, widow of the admiral of that name, who perished in Lord Nelson’s victory of the Nile, has just | died ina village in the department of the Gard, at tha | age of ninety-two. She leaves a fortune of nearly three | millions, the greater part of which ia destined for the foundation of charitable establishments. The deceased had gone to the south of Franca to be preaent at the inau- guration of a bronze statue of the admiral, which sho had, &t the authorization of the government, caused to be erected at Uzis. There seems to be no doubt that Baden-Baden is now fixed upon as the seat of the Congress, instead of Aix-la- Chapelle, as was firet intended. In diplomatic circies it is spoken of as une affaires complite. But at the preseat moment there is something far more impor’ than Congressional assemblies, reviews, poiitical debates, war, or anything elze, which occupies all France, especially its beautiful capital—that is, the micarime, The sun is shining gloriously overhead; yesterday the wind blew a tempest and rain deluged the sireeta; old and young, with ruefol look, prognosticated a’ gioomy mécaréme.

Even now mine ears are saluted with a winding of horns and the prescriptive (antara, tantara, which is insepara- ble from every festival.

Berni, March 30, 1859. The Italian Question—Constitution of the Propoted Con- grett—Claims of Sardinia to a Voiceo—The Police System of Prussia, de, And so, after all, the eventful meeting of the European Areopagites—degtined, as the optioniate think, to settle the affairs of the Continent for thenext fifty years, and to inau- gurate the reign of Astra, instead of that of Mars and Bel- jona—-is not to be held at Berlin. You may imagine the dis- appointment of our good folks here, who looked forward to | the expected Congress as an era not onty of fame and im- Portance to their native city, but of no little advantage and pecuniary gain to themselves, from the great inflax of strangers that might be anticipated on euch an occasion. It appears that Austria demurred to its taking place in the capital of Prussia, against whom, in spite of all her efforta to conceal it, she still nourishes an ancient grudge, which hag not been diminished by the not unfriendly but decided attitude of neutrality assumed by this country during the late crisis, baffling, as it did, the hopes entertained by the Cabinet of Vienna of requiring the unconditional sup- port of the Gorman States in a conflict for the maintenance of its preponderance in Italy, and forcing its reluctant assent to concessions which it had 80 recently scouted as incompatible with the dignity and in. terests of the Austrian Empire. As a matter of course, | Parie and Vienna are out of the question; London has been | objected to by Russia; and nothing remaine, therefore, but for the Congress to meet in fome second rate town, at a Cietance from the immediate influence of any of the great Powers. The Hague, Hanover, Brossels, Aix-la-Chapelie and Geneva have all been mentioned; at present Manheim neems to be the favorite—ite pleasant situation on the Rhine and ite mild climate being urged as qualifying it | empeotally for this pacific rendezvous. Bosides the iovality, however, there are other preliminaries to be arranged before the meeting can proceed to commence its labors. It was originally intended to exclude Sardinia from tho Congress, but considering that her interests aro at least as intimately invotved in the discussions that are about to take place as those of Austria, this would be an act of cryiug injustice that can hardly be persisted in. Count Cavour has protested energetically against any decisions that may ‘be come to without the participation of his government. France and Russia are both inclined to listen to his remonstrances, and although gratitude is a quality not generally found among politicians, England cannot, in decency, reward the services rendered her by the Pied- montese during the Crimean cam; by resisting claims which she must acknowledge to be well founded, and which she bas herself done so much to encourage. Prussia would have no particular objection, having always been rather favorable to Sardinia thau otherwise; but the difficulty is to obtain the consent of Austria, or rather that of the Em- peror, Francis Joseph, aa mee tk LA less wi ministers, thoug! ‘and pagion the appearan Congress will not only have the effect the sphere of discussion, which they are anxiously endeavoring to contract within the narrowest limits possible, but will be a @iumph to their enemy and a moral defeat to themselves, greater than any they have et_ experienced. However, when a Power is once i the vein of concession, it is not easy for it to stop. At first Austrig declined to enter into any negotiations on the affiirs of Italy; then she refuséd point blank to eubmit to a revision of her treaties withthe ‘smaller Italian States; and finally, she indignantly rejected the idea of allowing # European tribunal to decide on what she affected to look uponas her own private concerns. Bhe has yielded leteereemipes ns all these points, and it is pot unlikely, therefore, she may be induced by a little douce violence to gi im this last and to her most unpslatable of all—t igsion of Sardinia to a sbare in the approaching cenferences. I understand that Prussia will be represenjed at the Congress by M. de Scbleinitz (Minister of Foreign Affairs) and Count Pourtalé’s (Ambassador in Paris): France, it is reported, ‘will send Count Walewaki, or Count Persigny, aud M. Brenier; England, Lord Malmesbury ‘and Lord Cowley; Ruseia, Prince Gortechakotf and M. Balabin, or M. Titoft; and Austria, Count Bool and Count Hartig, or Count Appony. If Sardinia ahould be admitted, there can be no doubt but that M, de Cavonr will appear himself as the spokesman and defender of Italy. In the Chambers there have been somo interesting de- bates lately on the police system and the powers arrogated bi a functionaries of the kdministration in general, which “have increased, are increasing, and ought lo be diminish- ed.” The late President Einckeldey, chief of the police in this city, who was the ingarnation of a petty despot, bad brought the rystem to a high degree of perfection. Under his rule the civic authorities had been gradually despoilod of one right after another; al! the relations of private life were invaded by his policemen, and the awe excited by his violent and overbearing character was such that no one ventured to dispute his will, The press, in particu- lar, was the object of his incessant persecution; hardly a week passed without a razzia agains! some newspaper or other, and writers who bad rendered themselves obnox. ious to him or to M. de Westphalia were often arrested and sent out of the town by summary process, without a trial or any legal formality whatever. Since his death, and more especially since the accession of the present ministry, a milder practice has prevailed; but the system remaing unaltered, and may be revived at any moment in its fall stringency, unless timely measures are taken by the Legislature to circumscribe its powers. THE ITALIAN QUESTION. The Peace Congress—Place of Meeting Not Yet Agreed Upon—Austria and Russia Opposed to the Admiksion of Sardinia as One of the “ Great?’ Powers— The Paternity of the Con- gress Claimed by Eng- Jand and Rusia, &., &., &. the Paris Siccle, March 29.] It ig not only an affair of yesterday for Italy, her mis- fortunes, and her emancipation to be spoken of in France. ‘We bave been, as it were, bronght up from our cradles ‘with the idea of her emancipation as with that of Greece. Our poets have sung and our writers have predicted it, and almost all our statesmen have made their attachment to the cause of Italy the stepping stove to public esteem. How many books have been written and speeches made 10 praise of Italy since she was thrown by treaties under a foreign yoke. Her martyrs were our heroes. At every movement in the emailest Italian town France thrilled with expectation. Such for the iast forty years has been the eoucation of our couvtry.

Austria bas thus, if possible, incressed the hostile teeling agaicet her. A petty country closeto ber, although scarcely recovered from @ serious war, rose in favor of the Western case, and by her chivalry gained the friendship even of her enemies, Exthusiastic acelamations hailed her from one end of France to the other, and thanks to it, while hatred to ‘Austria increased, eympathy for Italy became strength. encd. Who isthere that does not remember the subscrip- tion for the cannon of Aleseandria? No one can deny what we say, and it our picture is untrue in any point, it is by the extenuation cf certain facts. We do not wish toexcite passions which are already sufficiently so; the true opinion of the puvlic knows on what it may rely. Go into any part of the country and speak of Ausiria and of Italy, and you will coon cee on which side the feelings of the people lie. It is consequently with the strongest indignation that we have seen certain people seek to Legh, vay rh the truth, and endeavor to make Austria the victim ana Italy the executioner, Peo- ple who formerly defended the cause of Italy now speak quite a contrary iaoguage. They say: ‘ You will lose by preaching up assistance to Italy; you will raire the whole of Earope against you.” At the same Lime others add—‘ Austria is Catholic; we have interests in common with her. What shall we gain by assist- ing the Italians? Itis much better to support Catholic Avéetria. By breaking with Austria, and threatening tho Pope, you alarm all religious interests.” France, accord- ing to the people we allude to, is placed betggen two im- minent dangers; ehe would bave against ber a European coalition if she eought to remedy the misfortanes of Italy, and a religious coalition if she pretends to impose a better government on the Pope. The interests of the Bourse, always co readily alarmed, take part in the affair. War, war, they eay,and why? For Iwly, which has only wv railways and limited funds, and against Austria, which has large railway® and metallics, in which we gamble and gain money. But for this crusade of different interests public opinion would follow its course, and it affrmed, without fear of contradiction, that it would have been powerful enough to have weighed on the determina- tion of the French government, aad to have decided it to hasten by arms the solution which is in every one’s heart. Unfortunately it is now very difficult for public opinion to express iteelf fravkly. The journals know not to what an extent they may be permitted to treat certain questions; there are no longer any meetings at which collective ideas may be expreesed. Political petitionings and other mani- festations of that kind are also impossible. In conse- quence, if twenty or thirty persons were to be bold enough to repeat that France wishes for peace and fears war, their remarks might pass for troth, and at least pro- duce a certain illusion. These specches are sent in letters to every part of Europe; they are given as the expression of general fecling, and ‘nevertheless they are absolutely unfounded. In fact, however changeable « nation may bo, ehe does not abdicate in a single day either her affeo- tions or her hatred. It may be conceived that ata given moment England should be allied tous. She had made great steps wards us. We took part in all her financial undertakings, and she participated in ours. She offered enthusiastic ovations to our generais, she received our prosertts, and ehe held out her hand to eave Turkey and secure the liberty of the West. In spite of that how,much old Jeaven still exisis on both sides, how it is revealed On the slightest occasion! And i ig wished that Austria, who has never dome anything ut betray us, ill treated our friends and assisted our enemics—it is withed that Autria should suddenly be regarded by us with a fr eye, and that for fear of irritating her ‘Naly shciaa te thcdnal. This is complete absurdity; it is only madmen or fools that can believe in such changes,and only blind who can reek to make them be believed. No; France has not pcos, ot because she hag no reagon for x0 doing. She re- 8 the coalitions of which Aurtria was the very soul even when holding out ber hands to us; she bas forgotten nothing of her history nor that of Italy from 1816 to 1859.

AUSTRIA IGNORES SARDINIA’S IMPORTANCE IN THB CONGKESS—SHE CALLS ON HER [From the Ost Deusteche Post of Vienna, March 2 The invitation given to Gountde Cavour to visit Pa- ris is the subject of political conjectures of all kinds, the genera) supposition being that it is connected with the participation of Sardinia ia the Congress, We know not whether it be true that France supports the admission of Sardinia; but, bowever that may be, we are firmly con- vinced (hal Austria will never concent that thal thus enter inio the circle of the greagPovers. Agia already ‘well known, Austria laid down, as the firat oondition of her consent to the Congress, that Sardinia should disarm, The § i i i rie = in the Congress, but a inary condition of its being held; a condition w: all those who seriously peace will find justand reasonable, especially ag Auetria will disarm her troops in the same a por Sardinia sball have returned to her normal state, the Con- reés may meet and deliberate on the questions in disput e Congress of Aix-la-Cbapelle prescribes all States whore interests may be debated in a Congress shall be heard, If, then, the interests of Sardinia be touched on, she will be invited to the Congres; as will Tuscany, Naples, or Parma, if the interests of those States be concerned. But with what right does Sar- dinia put forth the pretension of taking her place among the great Powers? In the Congress of Paris we can understand that she should have figured, becanse she tock part in the war in the Crimea. ‘was now, how- ever, a happy thing for the country, for it has excited the ambition of its government. /s ¢ desired to render nent that unreasonable ambition? The nia as a sixth great Power would be with reason consider- ed by the other States of the same rank as au alteration of their European position. Why Sardinia? Why not Bava- ria or Sweden, which are not inferior to her in power aod extent? Why not Spain, which is superior to her in every way? Would this preference be given to Piedmont asa reward to her revolutionary policy, or would it have for object to secure beforehand a double vote to France? Powere. If st be soguht ‘into it, the for- mer wil be released from her word. Austria certainly bas not consented without some difficulty; but she has made the sacrifice in order to show that she would not be an obstacle to the peace of Europe; but the pretiminary con. ditions must be accomplished. ‘The Congress is not there- fore poesible unless Sardinia commences by disarming, otherwise the meeting would only be achimera or a snare.

(Vienna (March 30) correspondence of Galignani’s Mes- ‘Ben, r. It is now known that eer td ine cacao ob ius 1th tbat M. de Balabine, the Russian Envoy, delivered to Count de Buol the deepatch of Prinee Gortschakoff con- taining the proposition for a congrese, in which the five great European Powers should be represented by pleno- potentiaries. The Austrian government was far ex- pecting that the ipitiative of such a measure would ema nate from St. Petersburg, but when the first moment of surpriee was over it was felt that a proposition of such importance could not have been made uniess with a pre- ‘vious understanding between the Cabinets of France and St. Petersburg. Count de Buol declared to M. de Bals- bine that he could not reply categorically to the commu- ication before forty-eight hours. the members of the Imperial family at Vienna were soon after convoked by the Emperor to deliberate in a family council on the sub- ject; a xecond council was beld on the following morning, after which Count de Buol was riba Ayr Emperor to inform M. de Balabine that Austria tothe proposi- tion of Rusia.

But then another Power will make its appear- ance, and either in a Congrees, or in diplomatic notes, the wounds and sufferings ot Italy, which claim an immediate remedy, will be exposed.

ITALY AND THE EMPIRE OF GERMANY. ‘Translated trom Le Hes March 29, for the New York RRALD, Amid the confusion of the poe and the interests which struggle around us, the attitude that the Pope, and with him the great majority of the Catholic clergy, will decidedly take, cannot fail to bave a great influence; and the consequences of that attitude will be seriously felt, both in political and morai circles, Will the Pope and the Catholic clergy pronounce, in the great question now pending, for the preservation of the state quo, for the Tights of Austria—that is to say, for the right of force against a nation demanding of Europe, in the name of jus- tice, permission to throw offs foreign yoke, and to live? ‘This question is anxiously asked by the men who assign to religion in the government of society the sbare which legitamately belongs to it, and who desire to seeithe Catho- lic Church assume a role worthy of its greatness. As for us, we hope that the miserabie int es NOW going on in the capital of Christendom, around august: and venerable Pontiff, who, ten years ago, realized the alliance of the religious and the liberal ideas, will not triumph over the eentiments which Pope Pius IX. cer- tainly preserves in the bottom of his heart. What is the direct interest of Papacy in the present crisis? It is to maintain and strengthen an independence which is eesential to its existence and influ- ence. Outside of the principal interest, which France and Italy ‘understand better than all other influences, and to which, come what may, they intend to give the most compicte fatisfaction, there is for the Catholic church only ques- tions of an internal order—questions of the forms of ad- minietration—to which it would be foolishness to immo- late the glorious role with which the liberal opinion con- tinves, to-day as much as ever, to invest papacy. What reasons could then. induce the Pope to declare himeeif for Austria against Italy? Would it be the all debt of thankfulness which the Holy See may owe to Em- peror Francis Joseph for the Concordat signed by the lat- ter? Every one knows that this act, which was hypo- critically elaborated by Austria, in the view of retaining Rome in her sphere of attraction, is everywhere and openty violated in Lombardo-Venetia by the very orders of the Court of Vienna. Would it be the grievances of the Holy See against Pie¢mont—the sword and the buckler of Italy? But is it not to perceive that it is inthe very attitade taken by the Piedmontese government towards the Pope that there now exists for the Church that great danger which was excited by the international policy which Austria seeks 1o make prevail in Rome? No serious reason, therefore, prevents Pius IX from fol- Jowing the road indicated to him by his personal sympa- thy, as well as the well understood interest of the Church; and’ besides, to retain the greatness of his role, it is enough for the Pope not to be inconsistent. . DERBY REFORM BILL. The Last Night’s Debate on the Mcasure— Scene at the Mivision and Defeat of the Min- istry—Opinions of the Press on the Crisis. In the Hove of Commons on the 31st ultimo the ad- journed debate upon the second reading of the representa- ‘tion of the People bill was resumed by Mr. Du Cana, who observed that there was nothing in conservative principles to prevent a conservative govern- ment from making such alterations in the representative system as the spirit of the age and the growing intelligence of the people seemed to demand. Sir R. Pxst said, after this bill had been digeected and digembowellea be should enter into no ee noP philoeophiee, like the Secretary for the Colonies, upon this middie clase bill. He asked the House this simple question—'‘Where are we?’ He had listened to the de- bate from the first, and was bewildered by the confused conflict of opinions, and he gave, in his peculiar manner, some amusing examples of this discord on the same side of the House. Mr. Coumert #aid he ebould vote for the second reading of the bil), which containe? matters not found in any other bill, and was not only wide in scope, but admitted of the most extensive changes; it even opened the question of vot- ing by ballot. te Koxnuck said they were about to reform the Reform act, and the questions were—what was it that required re- form, and what were the means to attain theend? One reat blemish in the Reform act of 1832 was the exclusion from wer of the working Glasses, had ince been increasing in intelligence, showing themselves worthy of participating in power with the other classes, and the two great objects of any Reform bill were, to ex- tend the suffrage to the working classes, and to reguinto the distribution of the electoral bodies. Did tho bill of the overpment attain either end? He believed that it would anything but satisfactory to the working classes; but he belleved, in opposition to Mr. Bright, that good could be got from the bill. He proceeded to consider how this be done, passing under review the merite, as ro- lord Palmerston and lord J, Rusgel plicit confidence in either. avon i? ir. Diskaxtt, Chancellor of the Exchequer, raid this bill ‘was founded upon three great principles:—First, that tne constituent body of the country should be ineremed by the introduction of @ large number of persons, making aa great ap addition to the constituency as was made act of 1892. The second at principle was, that communities would be entitled to direct rey that House. The third great principle was tbat the bill maintained generally the preeent berough system of re- } contented to take the course of sn; every proposition, irrespective of principles, the ‘goverpment would give a candid consideration; but be declined to pledge himself, before any discussion took place, to adopt whatever decision the committee might come to—a demand that was unreasonable, regolution contained only points of bay Pi toe ? to be considered in the committee. what there was any disfranchisement in the bill; but admitting there was, Lord J. Russell had been the of whole- sale distronchicement.

He concluded with a rapid re- view of the measurcs of the present government in rela- tion to domestic and foreign policy, and with reference to what had been suggested regarding a dissolution, he observed that if the servants of the Queen should find themselves upon the hustings before their constituents he had that confidence in a great and generous nation that it would not forget the difficulties under which the present government bad succeeded to the administration of affairs, bor what they had accomplished. It was a conviction in the justice of the people of land and a belief in the power of public opinion that sus. tained them daring this struggle, and sustained them at that moment. When the right honorable gentleman concluded it was a quarter to one o’clock in the morning, and, the Speaker having put the question, the House proceeded to adivision. ‘The greatert excitement prevailed in all parts of the House. Upwards of six hundred members were present; a 5 considerable number of distinguished perueas occupied the seats to visiters on either side of the entrance behind the and the gallery immediately over the clock while both the Speaker's ‘and strangers’ galleries were crowded wih an excited audience, ipwards of twenty minutes were ‘consumed in taking the divi- sion, and a8 the moment for announcing the result F especoury the excitement rose to the highest pitch. The great bulk of the members, as usual, on returning from the division lobbies, resumed their places on either side of the chamber, but a large number of them had as- sembled in a dense crowd atthe bar. At length the tel- Jers made their appearance, and then there were cries of “Order, order!’ and “Bar, bar!’ As the tellers took their places, it was seen in an instant on which side the majority lay, and as they advanced to the table a vocife- rous cheer, in anticipation of the actual result, rose from the opposition side. numbers were:— For the second reaaing of the bill For Lord J.

OPINIONS OF THE ENGLISH PRESS. [Telegraph from London to Liverpool.) The London journals of Saturday, the 2d of April, con- tain the following speculations on the Derby ministerial crisie:— The London 7Jimes says it was stated last night that ina very high quarter there existed a very strong feeling & general election was the prover solution of he difficulty. The plea may be that the Parliament, which reforms it- seif, should be elected for the express purpose, and that so great a responsibility shouid be thrown on the constitu- ent body, but thus far the present House has shown itaelf quite as competent to discuss and settle the question as apy other House that might be returned, A generat elec- tion is always an evil. It will be a greai evil now without a necessity, without eason, with hardly a pretence. It is stated, indeed, that giving way apparently to resent- ment, Ministers are resolved lo stand their aU in @ minority on a direct vg , and in that case to appeal to the people. In other words, that they will not resign without #. dissolution, The London News says that a meeting of Lord Derby's sup- porters has been summoned for one o’clyck to-day, (2d.)

The Star presumes it is scarcely possibie after Disraeli’s speech, that the present government would undertake ipporting & government without any reform at all, itcannot see that their retention of office is possible for the present Ministers. The mem- bers of the Carlton Club are said to have declared against a dissolution, and it may be perhaps upon this point, that the views of the conservative members are to ‘be consulted at Lord Derby’s house. ‘The Herald does not furnish any semi-official accounts of the crisis, but dwells with gratil on the fact, that againat the various factions ranged for a few hours under one banner, the conservatives,on Thursday night mus- tered in the division 301, including tellers and pairs, while balfa dozen leaders, including politicians of every line, by dint of extraordinary efforts only managed to “ring into the field amajority 39 over a single 'e More than one journal svates that her Majesty has sent for the Marquis of Lansdowne to advise ber Majesty to what course she ought to adopt.
