Reports\Of & . Split In ;The ' Psin Et. ...
REPORTS \ OF & . SPLIT IN ; THE ' PSIN ET . There is . .. something wrpriig ; . in . the . Ministry . What it is we have no means of knowing ; we only know that there is something amiss , that .. it must be tattler serious in Its nature , and : that it threatens to affec . t the horiourofthis country , in the conduct of affairs in the East , v : 01 - \ ; . ¦¦ Iiet us begin by saying that we do not believe the imports which circujate as to the . nature of this rt crisis , " for such it' has been ' called . On Saturday 'last . , a" report was . industriously spread ,
that Lord Aberdeen was about to resign . ; We r , e * cognise in this the revival of an old report , exactly to the same effect , which used to' be ,. joined with the assertion , that lord Aberdeen , was so Russian in his tendencies , as to haye contemplated the be ? - trayal of the country to the interests of . the Czar . This original report co \ ipled lord Clarendon with Lord Aberdeen ; but , at present , the honour appears' to be exclusively given to the Prime Minister . We" had good ground to believe that report to be untrue : we h ? tve learned nothing which could make us believe the new form of if . ,
A second idea , very-Current'in society ; affects . ' a person in rank , more distinguished than Lord Aberdeen ; and , as this charge lias been adumbrated in print , and as freely used in conversation ^ it would be useless to overlook it , while , perhaps , there may be some advantage in shying it outright . It is , that Prince Albert has exerted' himself to strengthen the position of . various royal families in Europe , partly from * general' sympathy with royalty , partly from a desire to secure ' a coilateraT advantage for his own family , ' arid partly , perhaps ; in a general desire to keep the peace , by preserving
the authority ot princes in Europe , generally . This report , again , we do not believe . In connexion with this story is one , that there is a strong Orleanist conspiracy to recover the throne of France , by favour of the same alliance which has its nucleus in ( xermany ; that this conspiracy has some reference to the new alliance of King Leopold's son with an Austrian princess ; that these alliances are intended to counteract the influence of the Emperor of the ' French ' ; arid that it is a necessary incident to this combination that Russia should be favoured , rather than thwarted ; Public opinion , in this country , does not permit an open Working of this plan , but it is ' remarked that a widely circulated orgim in tlio press systematical lvln hours to exasnorato English '' f »« i ;^ h >
against Turkey , to soften English feeling against Russia , , to improve opportunities of disparaging Louis Napoleon ^ and to insinuate other ideas which havo more or less some advantageous bearing upon the claims of the-Orleans ¦ family . It appears to us , however , that'th'is supposition is collected rather IVom an ingenious interpretation of events than one that bears any probability , on the fhco of it . The difftiretion with which Prince Albert has abstained frorii political intermeddling is not likely to havo befciv Violated in ho flagrant a manner ; and wo only repeat the story because it ia desirable to preflimt the conjocturol assertions which -ore made-Co do duty for facts . , ¦ ¦ . ' . » ' . '¦ ' ¦ ¦ ( ' ' . -: ' " ; . ' ¦
, ,, Auothor . supposition is , that royal families and diplomatic Ministers have so long conducted thenfliiirp of Europe by a s ^ ccioa ' of cliqucry , tliut they are ; now endeavouring to do bo in this great coaf ^ Ht ; that Htatetiuien who haVtt long- engaged in buoU pursuits have bouome so hardened to the work , that they cannot bo weaned from it j that they bnvo thus heoomo denationalised ; nnd that I ^ ord Aberdeen ^ who ia very experienced hn a di 1 - plomatwt , luis more entii ^ y nt heart the umm £ d ~

" principles of the' Crospel , " .. and the ' . spirit of the age , " is in a state pf % oty wraili at the indignity offered ' to a femiaine descendant of John Kripx . Injustice arid braggart bullying , all that is hateful and hideous to the carrial man , the Foreign Office had conteiriblated in silence ; it \ vas the stigma cast upon tlie Pilgrim's , Progress ,, the objection in Lucca td'our 'Bible ' . as an unauthorised version ,
'tliat forced the-V ^ ice from the . 'ripble . Secretary of State , lixixi told an arixipiis worjd thai Prptestantisriiand Miss Cunniughariie were to be preserved . Letv . ns l ) e giateful for that assurance , and let us not forget that there are occasions on which the Foreign Office' ' is nb ^ t afraid t 6 speak out . / JBui njtl ' this pareritheticaily ' We wish 0 speak of the case in jits other aspects . Of course England , though she has now promised to " spare no exertions to . secure Miss Cunninghame ' s release , " cari , only ask , and has no right to erifoi'co it ,
Descendants of Johri j ^ nox , however , fond of . tractdispensing , must consent to be amenable to tho Ia \ vs ! , "h 6 vvever senseless , of the land in which they live . They ninst understand that there are conditions and rules of national , as well as of domestic hpspftality , and that they ave-under , no obligation to dwell " in a ' c ' puntiy , too uncivilised to countenarico the'ir fayouirite hobbies . Bunyan-distribnting is not a Christian duty ; and even » f it were , tlioro are plenty of le ^ al recipients of his popular
allegory here \ vlv > would be as much edified , not so much perplexed as their Italian co-heathens by a ' stutfy of the Pilgrim ' s Progress . If , thcii , ladies amigentlemen ,, histprically descended , wish , to become subjects ' { ox ¦ history , and to attain that end begin by not rendering to our oW friend Cjrsar the things that are Cassars , we can coiirieivo nothing' more natural than that Cvoaar should , 'liave recourse to the ordinary , penal appj 1 " ances . ' In this caso , for instance , nothing can bo
more obvious than the iniquity of proscribing particular books , excopt ,, peril " p * , ' the obligation ot the foreigner , only admitted there by sufferance , td keep tlio laws Or to avoid th j ' country . Miss Cunninghiime lms brought her imprisonment on hmrsolf , and haa gained ihucli notoriety by *» ° circnmHtaiice . We confess to feeling more pity than' sympathy for her wo (? s , and tp tho in < iiilguhcti ' of it hone , that , if she escape ' s this time , »» ° will , for tlio future , bring her missionary efforts
