¦ ? T Ord Derby Has Completed His Arrang...
¦ ? T ORD DERBY has completed his arrangements , 1 J and , in general terms , laid down the line of policy that he intends to pursue . The distribution of offices in the Cabinet is , in the main , like that which was reported last week ; the minor appointments are decidedly good , and , upon the whole , the Derby-Disraeli Ministry is stronger , both in its composition and its position , than it was in 1852 . Lord Malmesbury is not the best medium of communication with France ; but the French affair is , in every respect , a bad job , and Lord Derby will obtain some credit if he can back out of it decently , or even go through it without much disgracing the country . Lord Ellenborough is peculiarly associated with an idea of power , and lie understands Indian affairs better than most men in Parliament . General Peel , the new Secretary for War , is ' an officer and a gentleman , ' considerably past the middle age , but reputed to be a man of business—and of pipe-clay . The new Secretary for the Colonies , Lord Stanley , we all know . Mr . Walpole , the Home Secretary , is respected , and even liked . Sir Joun Pakington is an odd Lord of the Admiralty , but a valuable member of the Cabinet . The loss conspicuous posts in Lord Derby ' s dozen are respectably filled , and the minor appointments arc decidedly good , introducing ' new blood' in Mr . Sotiieron , Mr . Gatjiorne Hardy , and Mr . Adderley . It would look diflicult , especially in the management of homo affairs , to keep down a certain sectarianism which appears to show itself in this Cabinet ; but Lord Derby has so completely kept do-wn his own Toryism , and hud it at the feet of Reform , that ho has made himself a good example to encourage the others . His course of policy is also clear . lie began his speech with apologies , like an old gentleman who is asked to sing after lie lias lost his voioo , and fears his songs arc old-fi \ sliioncd . He made a great point of that samo power , Fusliion ; admitting that he would have been inolined to stop whero ho was , but that , io _ oMigfiiJW-, QuEiiN ,-liO ~ IoU , bQuixdr . to-tftko-Qiiico-as , it was vacant , and to obligo tho country ho felt bound to bo a Reform Minister , as tho country wished it . Ho emphatically doprccatod tho idea that ho should start on any original course , or any course of his own ; his aim , in foot , is to follow in tho lino of his prcdooossors , with some slight modifications , saorifiooa to tho form , at
least , of ' consistency . ' Lord Mai / mesbury will take up the correspondence with . France , and will iutroduce a bill , only he will consult the dignity of this country better than Lord Clarendon did . Lord Ellejtborougii will undertake to abolish the East India Company , only he will modify tlie details of the arrangement . Even a Reform Bill is to be produced , though Lord Derby reserves to himself time for full consideration , and postpones it at least till next session . The country has become so accustomed to a Reform Bill introduced ' next session , ' that it can hardly blame Lord D-ERBY for keeping up the practice . On other matters we have no distinct information , but there is a hint that law amendments are to be carried on , and that public business is to be interrupted as little as possible . That is the Derby policy—Palmerstox ' s history of England continued by Djjrby . The explanation given by Lord Clarendon , on Monday night , as to his reception of the oJVcnsive despatch from Count Walewski , answered in the main the purpose for which it was made , which was to set the late Government right with tlic country as far as the facts of the case were concerned . He wont , however , beyond tin ' s legitimate object , and spoiled his success . To answer the French despatch iu the manner demanded , he said , we ought to hare been in a position to douy the allegations contained in it , and we were not in a condition to do so , for the simple reason that we knew them to be true . " It was in England that Pianori formed tho plan of striking the Emperor ; it was from London that—in an affair the recollection of which is still recent—Mazzini , Lediiu Rollin , and Campanella directed the assassins whom they had furnished with arms , " said Count Walewski ' s despatch . " Now , my lords , these words arc strictly true , " says Lord Clarendon . Are they P Tho evidence given in tho case roforrcd to was given by an Italian , and wns such us would have carried no sort of weight with it in an English court of law ; but , such as ifc was , it entirely exonerated Ledru Rollin , and did not in tho least assist to mnko out tho caso against Maz-, zi >! i , aud-CAM , i'AiNBj / LA -tho--lattei' -oi-wl » oni 5-ifc'willnot bo forgotten , denied any participation in tho affair . Lord Clarendon , therefore , only bogged the question , when ho assorted thnt Count TValwsiu ' s swooping charge was * strictly true * Again , Lord Clarendon afllrms that whoro Count Walk vski says , referring to the attitude tnken by skilful doma goguos' in England , " it is
assaasination elevated to a doctrine and preached openly , the Count ' s statement is also " strictly and literally true ; " and he mentions in confirmation of his opinion the fact that the late Government have had brought under their notice " reports of inflammatory speeches made at funerals and at debating societies , where one might least expect that such harangues would be delivered . Lord Clarendon ' s simplicity on this point is surely as doubtful as the conclusions he draws from these facts . Where could he have thought such harangues more likely to be made than at the places named by him ? But it is nonsense to pretend that such harangues have given Count Walewski the right to use the language lie has used in his despatch . What Lord Clarendon has succeeded in doing is , to show that Lord Palmerston was tolerably right in the explanations addressed to Count Walewski and to the Count de Persigny , but that he was wholly wrong in not making those explanations as public as the offensive document which had called for them . To return to t he new Ministry , it seems likely that the whole o . f those who have placed their resignations in the hands of their constituents will be re-elected . Sir John Paktngton , the new First Lord of the Admiralty , has been returned by acclamation for Droitwich , and he spoke for an hour and a half without committing the Ministry to which he has attac lied himself . Upon the whole , he weighed lightly upon the fallen Government . Perhaps tho most import ant point of his address referred to the expected legislation on the question of Parliamentary reform during the present session : it is clear that there is no intention on , the part of his leader to attempt the production of a Reform Bill . This conclusion is strengthened by the remarks of Lord Stanle y at King ' s Lynn , on Thursday . The speech of tho new Secretary for tho Colonies is cutculiUod to puzzle a great many people . How is impossible , they will say , for a man of Lord Stanley ' s advanced state of opinion to work with colleagues such as thoso with whom lie is in conoert at present ?— 'and the only answer ready is , lot us wait and seo whether he tcill work with them . Meanwhile , there is a gallantry in tho conclusion of his -8 poooh-rllia , 1 ,- ~ will—win-him-io » pooL-und— sympathy —~ from tho gallant of all parties , Or . si . ni , P-ieiuii , mul Djj llvmo condemned to death , and Gomez ( o hard lubour for life , tho plot of tho Hue LopoUotior Ayoulil 3 Com to bo nourly done with ; but tho alarm which tho attempt has caused to tho Jimpcror is not yot removed , aud ho canttcrt / j ^ or will not , bcliovo but more Obsinis arc lnjkforK" $ p " * H ¦ S ^ fP'M ^' - * * ^ ' * "AT & % OiD iwft rW'VSn ? * ' 'ImFi " . ¦ . v . tV P i' 1 T'jrr «* , 7 > Kw " r ., 1 & 5 foi ¥ -: »* " { 'fef ? v . « v OLEi
