Three Cabinet Councils have been held this week ; one
of which lasted upwards of three hours. The occasion of this long deliberation, English Ministerial journals, without any appearance of intending a joke, ascribed to the necessity of fixing a day for the prorogation of' Parliament. The Paris papers, however, give our Ministers credit for having transacted more business in that space of time. They, of etairse, know more aleatt the doings of our Cabinet within twenty-four boors, by the aid of pigeon-power, than we can find out during the whole week with the aid of the Govern- ment press. The Copitule asserts, "from a very good source," that the subject of deliberation was the acceptance or rejection of Manameer Ases proposition. The decision, it is said, was for rejection; that the Council further determined that the execution of the treaty should be carried out to its full extent ; and that Admiral STOPFORD should be reprimanded for want of energy io the execution of coercive measures. The official Glole last night evaded this report, by a sort of holf-deeial; at the same time, with due mystification, anticipating, " that the collective results of the deliberation taken, whether in England or elsewhere, will MARCO to the preservatien of the peace of' the world." It might be pre- sumed from this diplomatic seeming contradiction, that the Paris journals are better informed respecting the deliberations of the English Cabinet than our Government people like to admit. Though the discussions of the Cabinet are kept religiously secret, the opinions of Cabinet Ministers sotneti,nss ooze out; and when cer- tain questiens are debated Oil whieh the sentiments of individual Ministers are known, more will be guessed, and perhaps credited, than it would be possible to ascertain and prove. Our Cabinet, we believe, is not unanimous on "the Eastern question": it con- tains a " peace perty," by no means satisfied of the absolute wis- dom of our recent diplomacy; and the fate of Lord PALMERSTON is supposed to be as much in the scale during these consultations as that of MEHEMET ALL
