Sir Robert Peel must have been somewhat dirap- pointed with the result of the interrogation he addressed to Lord Stanley last Friday night om the subject of Luxemburg. ‘The Foreign Secretary, imdoed, contirmed in the most explicit manuer the current report as. to the definite interruption of the negotiations for the cession, But Sir Robert wanted something more than this, He wanted to hear that the British governmont had been wide awake in the matter, weil informed long ago of the whole de- Sign, and equally prompt in communicating its disap- proval to the parties concerned. His opinion was that of late we had withdrawn too much srom European politics, and alxticated duties devolving us asa great power in Lurcpe, le thought this isolation bad been Carried too far, and was producing a bad effect, and as the Luxemburg question was of singular import. ance he hoped to hear that we had on this occasion vin- dicated our position by interfering in good time, and to good purpose.

Now, about the feeling of the Luxemburgers Lord Stanley kuew little, but about the decision of the Prussian government he had no doubt atall, Whatever may have been Count Bismarck’s orig.nal views in this maiter, it had become evident that the Germans would never sobmit to the lors of the Grand Duchy, and that Prussia must give effet to tho popular opinion, The question rested with Prussia, and it was for \'russia to decide.

It is cer- tain, in short, that our colouies on the Paciflc would never have been troubled by the Russians in those parts; it ig by no means go certain, looking far into the future, that our new neighbors will be as inert or as inoffensive, But it is onty in the dim region of speculation that we can descry any cause for concern. It is probable enough that the transaction was intended as a hint for us, if not a warning; but we may take ft ag it was meant and yet not be very uneasy. We are said, indeed, to have pro- voked it, though the provocation was certainly never contemplated. ‘The Americans have taken umbrage at the new confederacy of our North american colonies, though a people setting such an extraordimary vaiue upon Union ought not to grudge the advantage of the principie to others. They fancy they can discover the germs of an “empire” or @ great monarchy in the new coutederation, aud are jealous accordingly, though they know tuat {t 18 our business and not theirs, just as the ussian America is theirs and not ours, The probably, consists in the preparations ure ompire, but for the perpe'ual inde- ‘tate which had been expected to fall by gradual di the great repubiic.

So they reply, it is thought, by buying the premises next door, and shatting us up a little in a fashion intended to bo a Httie ominous, Nar has the purchase been without its effect, for telegraphs havo been get in motion, information’ required, questions asked in Varliatent, and statements made by Mivisters with all due gravity, reserve and deprecation. But for the ratilication to be obtained from the United Stares Senate the transaction has been actually com- pleted. Kussia has agreed to sell and the executive government at Washington has agreed to buy; so that, unless the Sonate suould refuse its consent—an event not to be anticipated—the affair is at anend. It bas certainly been unexpected, for aobody ever gave a thought to such a contingency. Russian America was as nearly out of the world as the land beyond the Frozen Ocean, and even if anybody did remember that the Czar was our neighbor on the North Pacific, it was not w be presumed that the Russians would be sellers of territory. But now that tho event has occurred it cannot be thought su . It we decidedly a good bargain for Russia, aud not a bad one for the United States. The mere country is dear, no doubt, at the money, but territory has its poiitical as well as its natural value, and this is where the Ameri- cans will get their return. They have got it already— at least, so they will thinkin the sensation they have created over here; but that smpressiva will net be long lived. A very short reflection will suflice to convince Englishmen of the true nature and import of sucha transaction as this, There is not the slightest reason why the Americans should not acquire thus country by fuir purchase, if they please. Vossibly the juisition may portend some trouble to us tu'after times: but that is more than anybody can tell, and it will be soon enough, at any rate, to deal with ihe matter when those times arrive.

My reason for making the appeal ts that since the papers respecting the Tornado have been laid on the table our relations with Spain have become still more complicated. A second dispate with that country has, im fact, arisen, which appears to me to be even more im- Dortant than that connected with the Tornado—I allude to the case of the Victoria, a British trader, which has been seized by a Spanish vessel fourteen or tifteen miles from the coast, and has been taken to Cadiz and sold. ‘There may, perhaps, in the case of the Tornado be argu- ments which may reasovably be advanced on both sides of the question; but itweems to her Majesty's govern. ment that there is no palliation or excuse for what has been done with reference to the Victoria. It is more than a common outrage that a Spanish ship should attack on the high seas a British trader and insult the British fag, and her Majesty's government have deemed it neces- sary to take the st notice of the matter, ina despatch which has been writteo by my noble friend the secre- tary for Foreign Ataira, To the despatch to which I al- lude her Majesty's government have not yet bad any answer from tue Spanisn government.
