It is said that Mr. FREDERICK SHAW is a go-between

of Sir ROBERT PEEL and Lord LYNDHURST. He has been at Drayton with the Baronet, and is now gone to visit the Peer at Paris. Next week Sir ROBERT will dine at Glasgow ; and as he must then let out something of his future policy and plans, it is de- sirable to ascertain how far he is in accordance with LYNDHURST. If such communications are really carried on, there is a sufficient reason for the very cautious tone adopted by the Tory newspapers this week. To all appearance, their conductors are at sea again: they cannot tell what they may be next called upon to say or unsay. The new policy of the Independent Reformers, explained by us last week, must also occasion annoyance to the Tories. They cannot avoid seeing that it may perpetuate their exclusion from office, and at the same time hasten the triumph of really [LATEST EDITION.] Liberal principles. A plan by which the Whigs are retained as place-stoppers, and Reform principles, at the same time and by the same means, uncompromisingly asserted, is precisely that which they will most cordially detest, and yet find most difficult to baffle. But whatever may be the immediate cause of their em- barrassment, it is, we repeat evident, that the Tories are uncom- fortable, and not resolved upon any course of action.
