bear) Ile hogged the bowie to bear in mind the distinction between the two Int charges, namely, the giving of ewes of courtesy and respect, such m " grace " to an archbishop and " turd " to a bishop, and the giving of titles which were prohibited by law. With meant to the first he was not going mutter any exeuve or awlogy lie tiling such titles of honour and respect to the heads of the Roman catholic religion in a country the hulk of whose population were Roman catholic*, ace lung as they conformed to the laws under the protection of which they lived. (Hear. hear.) The hon. member fur Buckle taunted hi. noble trio rd for the letter which he wrote to the /bebop of Durham. but the hon. member Mr Buck+ should remember that he was himself guilty of the indie action of writing and publishing a letter ou this subject. (Plert, hear.) Ile (Sir 0. Grey) would nut call that letter "a blunder on • sudden ;" hut a greater col lection of blunders in or small a compass he never saw— (hear) --it was a complete muition in pewee of blunders. The hon. gentleman the member for Buck+ charged him (Sir G. limy), though not by name, with giving precedence to the prelates of the Roman catholic church over the nobility and dignitaries of the national church. Now the fact wa-, they did not take any precedence over the digni taries of the pneertatit church. (Hear, hear.) They m ctrl took the same place on bring presented to the Queen whit thor took on the ocemiun of the visit of George the Fourth. belitecil the person who was re-spur/able, if my, no what appeared in the Gazette, Was the Lord Chamberlain, who, being a member, he la tiered, of the free kirk of Scotland, was not likely to be engaged in a coneriney fio the undue exaltation of the Roman catho lic religion.

Reference hail been made by the hon. member for Surrey (Mr. 11. Drummond) to a eon. tielential communication between pool Clarendon and the Pope. On that subject he had a letter of Lord Clarencion's, hut he really did not consider it neeesmry to read it. (Cries of " read.") With regard to one part of the charge. to which this letter referred—namely, that the ceneununication wets adeinwerd to " the Archbishop of Dublin," he had thought that that was completely aban doned. The words " Ili, Grace the Archbishop of Dublin" were • complete fabric:diem ; they were not inserted by Lord Clarendon, but he believed they were first introduced at Rome.

BErren relations are likely, it may now be reason ably expected, to spring up between thin country and Brazil ; seeing that, for the first time since its inde pendence, that empire has in the session 1851 ob tained a favourable paragraph ht the royal speech on the opening of parliament. " the government of Brazil has taken new, and I hope efficient measures, for the suppression of the atrocious traffic in slaves." Such is the intimation— such the expectation formally expressed by her MAJESTY. It records a great fact in the history of this painful and distressing subject; it accepts the new policy of Brazil as substantial in itself and as hopeful in its prospects; it gives Brazil credit for the change that has occurred not merely in its legisla tion, but, in what is of much more importance, in the conduct of its executive government and in the policy of one nt least of its great political parties ; it accepts the advances which that empire is making towards a hater morality and to sounder views of its own high position iu South American civilisa tion. No doubt the paragraph might have gone further with great advantage, and have given more substan tial encouragement than a mere notice can convey to Brazil in the new career on which it has entered For, if Brazil have taken new measures for the sup pression of the slave trade; if those measures are, as hoped, likely to prove efficient; it; in short, the po licy and the practice of Brazil have become identical with our own, it would seem to be a necessary con sequence that the time has arrived when the British Parliament can be safely recommended to repeal that exceptional statute which has given such deep and such just offence to Brazil, and which Lord Chan cellor Tacna, no later than the 12th of March, 1849, solemnly declared, with a view to his declaration being read to the House of Commons, he had "al ways deemed a national disgrace, manifesting either great ignorance of the law of nations, or monstrous assumption; calculated either to lead to a war, or to our rendering ourselvecontemptible." It may, however, be that Lord Pst.mr.rcTos, too deeply occupied in the embarrassments and the diffi cairns of European polities, Las scarcely had time to make himself fully master of what it is that Brazil has been doing since the session of 1t450 closed and that of 1851 opened; or,more likely, that he waits to see whether the Brazilian government is really earnest and zealous in carrviog out the repressive legislation of the Brazilian clambers; and that,when he either fully comprehends all the details of the new policy, or is convinced that it is no illusory or deceptive determination which has been conic to, he will then, ere this session closes, make that recom mendation to parliament for the abrogation of Lord AntinnsEx's law, which would, we think, have formed so appropriate an addition to the paragraph quoted from the QUEEN'S Speech. If legislation can charge the policy of a nation, Ow government of Brazil must now be 19.111ccd amongst the anti-slave trade powers of the world; for its laws at last emulate those of England, France, and the United States, in stringency, severity, and elabora tion, on this subject. By the law of 7th November, MI, all Africans landed in the empire after its enactment, became entitled to freedom. Bat, amidst the difficulties of an imperial minority, of in surrectionary movements in its frontier provinces, of a weak central power, of restricted pecuniary re sources, and of adverse public opinion, the Brazilian government had not the power to secure to the negroes imlortedthef eedcmrwhtchllrazilanlawthusintendcd they should possess. At last, however, on the 4th of September, 1t4.70, a measure received the sanction of the Brazilian legislature, to carry out the intentions of the law of the 7th November, 1t431 ; under its provi sions slave ships are liable to seizure and condemna tion. slave dealers to the penalties of piracy; and rewards are adjudged to informers giving informa tion that will had to seizure and condensation. In Brazilian legislation, the details of laws are left to the executive government ; the legislature contenting itself with laying down principles. No sooner then had the Assembly beset this law of the 4th September, 18.30, than the imperial cabinet set about infusing life and vitality into it; and within five weeks after its enactment, that govern ment issued((on the 14th October, 1830), very ample provisions for fixing and regulating the circumstances that shall constitute the legal pre sumption that vessels taken are slavers. Those wisions are now before us; and were it or the language and the legal form in which they are embodied, we should have supposed them to be, as indeed they substantially are, the stipulations of one of our own slave trade treaties. The some pre sumption from open hatches, from extra boartbi, from a greater number of water casks, from boilers, handcuffs, food, in them constitute guilty occupation; just ns our well known equipment clauses do. On the 19th of November, lsdo, further instruc tions, of still greater stringency, were issued by the imperial government; and it is now engaged in taking the necessary steps to complete the organisa tion of the judicial establishment rendered necessary by this complete revolution in the slave trade policy of Brazil. What arc good laws worth, it may be asked, un less efficiently and faithfully executed? Little or nothing. But the government of Brazil. when resolved to enter on this new carter, did not wait until it had all its legislation perfect, all its machinery in order, all its judicial establishments organised. It began to act even before it commenced to legislate; and between the spring and autumn of last year, in less than nine months, as officers took and liberated very nearly 1,200 slaves. On reference to the files of the Jornal cl, Commertio of Rio -a newspaper without political opinions, and devoted exclusively to the collection of facts—we find on the following dates the following capture of slaves : Sc slaves taken at Niteroi.

We have collected, and we give these particulars in detail, because hitherto it has been the fashion here to throw discredit on general allegations, and to ask for proofs. Here then we have proofs that the Brazilian government is actively engaged in repres sive efforts. But these are not all. The above slaves were taken by the authorities on shore. In addition, how ever, the Brazilian war steamers Thetis and Golfinho are, we observe, cruising for slavers, and have already taken two vessels equipped for the traffic, one of them being the brig ltolha, on board of which was found Senhor Fonseca, whose ease we have before stated; the other a French merchantman that had entered Rio with only two blacks on board. The Brazilian journals teem with evidence of the heartiness with which the legal and political autho rities are seconding and enforcing the new laws, and of the approbation with which the public regards their-exertions. Seizures have been mode at sea; slaves landed, pursued by a military force firing on and wounding the flying slave deilers; barracoons have been destroyed, and their owners punished ; and the evidence of slaves against their alleged en-' slavers sought by dangerous promises of liberty. In short. there are not wanting people in the empire who fear that this reaction has started at too quick a pare to last ; and in a late number of the Bratil —a journal of reputation—we find the following striking passage: Public opinion now pronounces loudly against the slave trade ; neither of the political parties now in contest adopts it, or the itle.gi connected with it ; no organ of the metropo litan press defends it ; the government meets with no op position in repressing it. It is well. This reaction against the slave, in itself a great step in the road of progress and of civilisation—this reaction, like all other reactions, may, by exaggeration, make us receive extraordinary ideas =CI commit great injustice. Let us guard then against this 1 exaggeration ; we. who know that the holiest of causes arc ruined by it, and that reactionary movements retard the i cause they seem to promote. i The highest evidence of the sincerity and earnest, ness of the Brazilian government is, however, to be seeu in the effect these proceedings have had on the Portuguese slave dealers. Now it is a fact quite notorious in the ports of the empire that the smaller slave dealers are nearly universally winding up their affairs and preparing to leave Brazil: nay, already • very considerable emigration of them has taken place to Portugal. The more wholesale traffickers in African flesh have not as yet made any corresponding movements, not because, however, they are not so- riously alarmed, but because the course of their trade obliges them to give the planters very long credit for slaves, and it will consequently take a lengthened period to wind up their affairs, even it they do withdraw from their horrible commerce. They have, however, become, from the suddenness of their great wealth, objects of popular dislike and odium; and in a few years Brazil will have, in all probability, got rid of them too. All this, we submit, is proof tbat a great change has come over the policy, the legislation, and the proceedings of the Brazilian government. Such change is, no doubt, based very much on the political interests of the party now in power in that empire; but it is accompanied by a marked improve ment in public opinion, for by public opinion the change is, we have shown, supported. At all events the most powerful party in Brazil has adopted an auti-slave trade policy. What more tun we want ? What more can our government wish? Whilst Brazil was weak and unwilling, we assumed to do for her what she wanted the power and the inclination to du for herself. Now that she has the will and the strength to net for her self, we shall du more harm than ',mod by inter fering. The time is then coming when the very promoters of the act of 1845 will, on their own showing, be compelled to recommend its repeal. THERE is something in Mr. Dlsn.setes agricul tural demonstrations which always reminds us of the grandiloquence of un immortal work, which pro ceeded from his pen, in what seems now to have been a previous state of existence. Dtsatuu the younger, author of the "Revolutionary Epic," has not much in common with the present member for Bucks, and it is exceedingly pro ba ble that the hitter personage would willingly ignore the farmer, but it cannot be. Every now and then the old nature peeps out, and no doubt we shall have a full and fair temple thereof in the promised exposition of to night. In fact, the }TORSO of Commons has had a taste of what is corning in words which we have already no tieed. Listen to I)tsttat3A " the younger :" "If he did not succeed in discovering what was the cause of that mvsterious and continued depression of agricultural industry which was admitted to exist, and if he did not indicate the remedies which were the natural results of that investigation which he proposed to make—remedies demanded by justice and counselled by policy, then he would never again attempt to support the interest to which he was in &Med for the seat which he held in that house." This reminds us of a sentence by the Name author in the preface to that immortal work to which we have before referred : " Deeming myself, perchance too rashly, in that excited hour, a poet, I cursed the destiny that had placed me in an age that boasted of being anti poetical. And while my fancy thus struggled with my reason, it flashed across my mind like the lightning which was then playing over Ida, that, Sc., &c."— no matter what, but something of no very great im- • portance. So it has flashed across the mind of DISRAELI, now no longer young, but "deeming him self, perchance too rashly," a political economist, that he has found what is the cause of that myste rious depression under which agriculture groans. Why, last year we had a Distumertsll mare's-nest about local bnrthcns, which all ended in smoke, and now we are to have either the old dish warmed up again, or another emanating from the same school of political cookery. But what can this mysterious cause he? 'Mery is a very plain cause, which the jog-trot squires have always alleged—a bad price, to which this year is added a bad crop; but of course the author of a "Revolutionary Ere" would scorn to build his theory on so substantial a basis. The juggler who swallows water is no better than a com mon man : lie must eat fire, and spout ribbons, and stand on his head, if it be only to keep up his cha racter. Mr. Plume lifistirr, in his oration, were satisfied with asserting the prevalence of agricultural distress, and attributing it to causes which are at least intelligible, though far enough from justifying the concluAion he would draw _from them; but to- night we shall see what wo shalt see—ririals Grey I demonstrating a problem in economical science— Torirred unveiling the Asiatic mystery. Mr. DisnaEtt's manner always makes u.s fancy he neither believes what he is saying himself, nor is very sanguine about his supporters believing it. If they believe it, their belief will usually be that trans cendental contidenec which enthusiasts place in their , teachers—a faith superior to knowledge, unsupported by the understandin g . But there are certain facts which the lust few d ays have developed, which, per , haps, the bucolic mind may be competent to digest. They are contained in the reports of the Poor-law Boards, and we must recollect that these facts arc not questions of belief, reasoning or unreasoning, ex cept in the good thith and correct arithmetic of the Poor-law Boards, although we suspect they will come rather unopportunely for the great author of the "flashes front Ida." We have already , noticed one of these documents; but we will recapitulate. The total number of pau pers relieved in 606 unions of England and 11 ales on the Ist of January, PASO, was 931,328. The total number on the same day this year was 862,749, or a decrease of nearly 74 per cent., which, be it remem bered, is a decrease on a decrease. So that the total decrease on the two years is about thirteen per cent. And this is not confined to the manufacturing counties. Bedford shows a decrease on a decrease. Berks the same. Duckinyham the some. Dorset Ms some. Essex, Devon, and Kent a decrease on an increase; and only six counties show an in crease, in two of which it may be attributed to the dullness of the iron trade. But this is not all. The Board of Supervision for the relief of the poor in Scotland, report that the number of poor relieved from May 1849 to May 1850, was about five per cent. less than the number relieved in the preceding year, the expenditure having dimi nished in nearly a like proportion. But what will the poet say to the report from Ireland? The in door relief has diminished from 932,207 in 1849 to 789,191 in 1850, or mare thin sixteen per cent. The out-door relief has diminished from 1,210,486 to 372,688, or seventy per cent., the year in each case being taken from Michaelmas to Michaelmas. Surely his fancy will have to struggle very hard with his reason before he can persuade himself that this is the picture of a country fast verging to ruin. There is, of course, the re source of politicians of the NEWDECIATE school, an allegation of inaccuracy in the returns, but this is too peddling an excuse for a great statesman. And if he does not succeed in proving his point, he holds out a threat at the bare mention of which we cannot but shudder. Ile will cease to support the agri ' cultural interest! Poor ignorant tillers of the soil, little do they know what evil hangs over them. They may plough and sow and go to market in shabby one-horse chaises cunningly constructed to elude the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQCER; they may grumble at weekly ordinaries and howl at annual protectio n dinners, 'but it is all in vain—there is no efficacy in cultivation, no sprouting of the seed, no gathering in of the crop—for Dtsast:Li has deserted protection, and the sun of England has set for ever. MALTA, FED. 2, 1851. The official announcement of the blockade by the Turkish fleet of the Island of Samos, to take place on the Bth inst., has been made by government to the commercial body.

Iler Majesty's steam frigate Spiteful is, I believe, sta tioned off Samos; but here there is no appearance of a move. The fleet is daily exercised in some important ma w:earns, and the tars are landed with their guns at Florian ; in their exercises they display incredible acti vity, unlimbering and limbering in a very brief space of time. On Monday last the exercise of the fleet consisted in housing and re-wetting top-gallant masts and jib-booms, in which exercise Superb occupied 13 minutes, Queen 17, Caledonia, Ganges, and Albion between 17 and 21 ; but the time I have not been able to . procure. Sir Willoughby Cotton received pratique an Wednesday last, and will proceed to England via Marseilles about 14th inst. by the Merlin. On the same day Sir Charles Napier is expected ; but the latter officer being in quarantine, the two great malitaires of Indian celebrity cannot meet on shore. Mr. Saunders, appointed to relieve Mr. Napier as master. attendant, arrived hire by the Indus on the morning of Friday, and has taken charge of the office.

Allusion had been made to speedier of his noble friend the First Lord of the Treasury, mole during and having reference to a totally different age of thing., and not in anticipation that Rome, a friendly sate, would take advan tage of language held or acts Bosh several Jean ago, to perpetrate such an aggression as was then the subject of discussion. But with reference to this specific subject the question had been regularly raised, and his noble friend's opinion taken, when the hon. hart. the member fur Oxford University asked him &question. On that occasion, his noble friend stated in clear, unambiguous terms, that no proposition for the establishment of a hierarchy had been made to him, and he went on to state, that if such a propo- sition had been made, it would not have received the con sent of her Majesty's government. (Hear, hear.) He wished now to say one or two words in reply to the charges of in adequacy which had been made against this bill. The sub ject Lad' been amply and successfully treated by his hon. and learned friend the Attorney-Uenersl, and the hon. and learned member for the town of Oxford, but this he would add, that the bill was founded on the prin ciple of not interfering with the freest exercise of the Roman catholic religion in this country, founded in perfect harmony with all the enfranchising statutes, while it effectually met the case that had arisen, and found a remedy fur what had gist a such great offence to the people of this country. Tlio. Pope'e letters apostolic appointed Dr. WitreMllll an archbishop, with acertain :masher of suffragans, deriving titles either from ancient ayes, or from cities and plates us this pert of the United Kingdom. The bill aid that there should be no Archbishop of Westminster, no suffragan bishops recognised, unless created bylaw; and that law, nut the law of Rome, but of the British parlia ment, Queen, Lords, and Commons. The l'ope, mourning terms of the widest sovereignty gave power to these bishops; the bill said that every act aline by these bishops in the exercise of sorb delegated power should be null and void. The l'opc said that no one should interfere with the autho rity of these prelates; the bill declared that their authority was null and void. The Pope invited the wealthy to endow these newly created sees; the bill said that any such endow me should be mill and void. It was true that the bill did nut, as the hon. member for Buckinghamshire wished, go the length of settling once for all the relations subsisting between the Roman catholic eubjects of the crown of Eng land and the Pope. It might be very desirable that such eettlement should take place, but he would caution hon. gentlemen opimaite, not teethe sake of a douhtfial project to reject a pruaie..ll measure. He would caution them against running away with the notion that such an object was easy of aehievement. The right hon. baronet concluded by de claring his perf..et security in the depth and strength of the pnitcatant faith in England, to which a noble testimony had been afforded by the universal protest against Roman awn daney raised within the last few months. On the motion of Mr. P. HOWARD that the debate be adjourned, followed by a remonstrance from Lord J.

WINDSOR, MONDAY. It having been ascertained for some days past that the attempts which had been made by some of the leading conservatives in the town to find a gentleman to contest the representation of the borough in opposition to Mr. Ilatchell were fruitless, the proceedings of to-day caused but little excitement amongst the electors of the royal borough. To-day, after the usual preliminary proceedings had been gone through, J T. BEDBOR DUG 11, Esq. said—Mr. Hatchell presented himself before the electors upon this occasion, and offered himself again to their notice, simply because he had been transferred from one office to another in the councils of his sovereign ; from that of Solicitor-General to the Attorm !- Generalship of Ireland. Last year he was unanimously elected as their representative, and he trusted the same unanimity would prevail to-day. Mr. Redborough con cluded by proposing the Right lion. John Hatchell, of Merrion-square, Dublin, as a fit and proper person to re present the borough of Windsor in the present parliament. (Loud cheers.) HENRY ARC ILL, Esq., solicitor, seconded the nomination. Mr. HATCIIELL then rose and Raid—lt was not more than a year ago when he stated to the electors of Windsor the pnociples by which he would be governed in the Commons House of Parliament, and he trusted he had not forfeited their confidence. (Cheering.) During the past session several important measures were passed; among-t which was one of inestimable value to our colonial posses sions. In the present session many great and import ant measures would also be brought forward. He might especially mention one which had reference to a reform of the abuses in the Court of Chancery. He trusted the measure to be brought forward by the govern awed on the subject of the late papal aggression, for the pro tection of the prerogative of the crown and the liberty of the subject, would not attempt to interfere with the right* of private judgment. At regarded certain practices which now unhappily prevailed in the church of England, he was of opinion that the loudly expressed feeling on the subject throughout the country would be in stself sufficient to put an end to papal aggression even without the aid and assist ance of any new law. (teem, hear.) With respect to his future conduct, he should be prepared at all times to attend with real and assiduity to their land interests and to devote his best energies to carry out the objects the electors may have in view. No other candidate having been proposed, the Mayon declared the Right Hon. John Mitchell to have been duly elected, arid the proceedings terminated.

Afternorn, 1111. 20a. l'o.eroaaner —Morn:l4, 104. ate Afternoon, 10n. Cue. LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11. TIIE speech of the ATTORNET-G ENERAL is cer tainly cakulated to diminish the anger and disap pointment of those who looked to parliament for some defence against papal legates and Roman catholic synols, and who saw nothing in the bill save an empty prohibition of titles, on such particular occa sions as the making of bulls and the drawing up of trusts. We must confess that the bill, as explained by Lord Join Itessm.t on Fridav last. produced this disappointment in 114 it seemea, to use an artistic metaphor, to be a mere etching, a scratching in of mere tracery without depth, and of invention without relief. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, however, has seized the graver from the hands of the minister, and sets to work with a more resolute band, digging deeper into the plate of the law, and dark cuing the hitherto candid surface with a penal hue. According to the ArronsEi-GENERAL, the bill is to do everything desired. It is not merely to pro hibit titles in trust deeds, but render the wearing of territorial titles at all by Roman catholic prelates a punishable act. Not may will it be penal to style oneself Archbishop of Westminster, but even the assumption of the title of Archbishop in Westminster has its peril, if it can be construed into the evasion of an express law. As to synodical action, it is completely to preclude that, by preventing the existence or circumscription of even dioceses. Synodical or clerical influence intimidating the suer jests of her 'MAJESTY from acts of duty, by threats of refusing sacrament, or casting off from the church — such aggressions as these the A rronNEv-GExEn.u.. considered to be too clearly punishable by common law to require any new or express legislation to pr 0.... .... hibit them. We must confess that we arc glad to hear that the common law exists as an antagonist, so ready and so well armed, to the canon law. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN, indeed, declared as much. Rut the law officers of the crown, we understand, had very recently not so favour. able an opinion of the omnipotence of the common law, or even of statutes : and we were bidden to look to parliament alone fur defence. Indeed not the least fearful result of what is called synodical action might be felt on the institution of the jury itself, through which the common law might be uulThied— equally nullified whether a jury came to consist of fanatics of one side or of the other. It may indeed be strongly . doubted whether trial by jury could long subsist in any country completely subjected to sacerdotal influence. We by no means place implicit credence in the ATIOINEI-GENEILAL. We cannot see that the com mon law, even though Mr. PAGE WOOD supports the opinion, is at all efficient for the purpose alleged, nor the new statute efficient for the object it aims at. The object is to intimidate Route, to awe the popul court to retract:ohm, and cause its cardinal agent to measureback his stepsfromWestminster to the Vatican. We are bold to prophesy that the bill will have no such result. The audacity of the Cardinal will nut be abashed by any low, the stringency of which depends upon the nerve of the Arrintsfir-OENEttat. The Pun:, who can prolong his residence amongst his subjects solely by Austrian and by French sup port, must do what Austrian policy dictates to him, the French having no policy or will fur the present ; • and to spite Queen Vic-mien., the cabinet of Vienna will order WISEMAN to bravo Windsor just as it ordered the Austrian and Bavarian troops to oc- cupv Coburg. Whilst the ArronNET-GF-VERAL explained the strategy of the government against the enemy from without, Lord ASHLEY undertook to point out the movements of the enemy from within. Two speakers during the course of the debate had taken advantage of the question to launch into denuncia tions of the established church. Now there arc mans accusations to be brought against the esta blished church in Ireland, and in England, and we arc nut amongst the most tartly to make them. But we crust own that the present strikes us as the most unfit and most ungenerous occasion. For if the Anglican church have one good quality, it is that of the perfect freedom of the laity from sacerdotal in fluence or dictatorship. Not only in it are the laity in fair independence of the clergy, but also with regard to religious opinions men enjoy a fair independence of each other, which cannot be asserted of all sects, even of those who style themselves the most free. Most anti-papal in its principle, despite of the efforts made to wrest or to betray it to the antagonist creed, the established church rallies to it the larger portion of the educated and influential classes oftUs country, on which great dependence must be laid in a general protestant re sistance to Rome. Wu certainly, then, do agree with Lord ASHLEY in thinking that when danger threatens from the progress of Rome and its suer dotalism, it is for all protestant sects and persuasions to unite, in what is a common intere s t and a common defence. Mr. Itomsueic threatens dissenters with the whip, if the established church succeeded in put ting down the arrogant sacerdotalism of Rome. Dr. VAUGHAN, with more justice, tells us, in that most excellent article in the last British Quarterly Benicia : - - The boasted fact, that catholicism is immutable alike in its spirit and its theory, to which both it. past history and its recent manifestations compel us to assent, demonstrates the conclusion that, it' ever it should control again the visit power and state of England, dissenters would be its first victims. They would be the only remaining obstacles to its absolutism in church and state. Liberty of conscience, toleration, charity, or forbearance towards those that dissent from its dogmas is neither discoverable among its laws, nor compatible with its spirit, nor legible in its history. If, therefore, the day should ever arrive when it could give law to the rulers of this country. or compel them to listen to its counsels, we know full well that its maxim would be " Chastise all protestants with whips, but the dissenters with scorpions." But whatever may be the danger of papal aggres sion, or the fears entertained of it throughout all classes of the country, one thing is certain, that par liament is agitated in a very trifling degree with such thoughts. So that if Lord JOHN itt'S' , ELL'S measure is to be accused of lukewarmness, the accusation may be extended to parliament. The knowing ones of the House of Commons evidently care very little for the question. There is little political capital, and in truth rather the contrary of political • capital, to he made out of it. :Ministers have been wary, and have not presented a week side either to the fanatics or the philosophers. There were no prospects of any trick by which a combination of parties might have been got together against minis tens. The consequence was no amendment, and a lan guid debate adjourned to that purgatory of dull motions, a morning sitting. The country feels an insult, and clamours for a right. Parliament cures little • for either one or the other, unless a close division were likely to be its result, with a ministerial crisis M prospect n. Mr. DISRAELI'S motion, which does not command one-hundredth part of the interest felt in the country FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY ETNXINO. To-day the Assembly entered upon the debate on. the notation Bill. M. de Royer, Minister of Justice, stated that the question had appeared to him simply a financial one, but the committee having made of it a political question of the first order, the government awaits the decision of the Chamber calmly. At the same time, he felt that it was the duty of the government to Ws the earliest opportunity to protest against certain allegations, of the report. He found fault with the report for laying open the President of tho Republic to a direct attack, without taking account of the ministers by whom he was surrounded, and for whom he (M. de Royer) claimed political responsibility, although they formed only a ministry of transition. Ile recalled to mind that tho words and political acts of the President—acts for the rest in which the Assembly had joined—lid al ways had the object of reassuring the country, and of giving security and eonfidemy, as well ns of proving that the President was above all de sirme: of meriting the name of an honest man. and of keep ing his constitutional oaths. After this speech nu merous voices demanded an immediate division. The Assembly, on being consulted, decided that the debate should go on. M. Dufougemis. a legiimist, mounted the tribune. M. Piscutorv. reporter, de mandid to speak, but in vain. M. nurougemis, read, amid the noise of conversation, a speech agaiml the bill. _ _ . M. Montalembert then ascended the tribune, and spoke amid deep silents% He would hove aside the money question, and apply hims:lf to the pilitied one. He deplored that the majority, although doubt less with the best intentions in the world, had. entered upon a systematic opposition. (Great noise. Cries of "No, no," and " Yes, res.") IN ell, then, if they liked the phrase tidier, they . had entered upon a "permanent" opposition. (Laughter.) Ile was not the President's adviser, but he could bear witness that he had been true to his missioa, which was to restore society, and to suppress demegisgy. (Assent.) The President hadperformed his mission with courage, honour, and ability. Then. provet-ling to examme the acts of the President, M. Montalembert praised them all, with the exception of the letter to Edgar Ney, an error which had been nobly repaired by the restoration of the Pope. lie regretted also the dis missal of General Clumgarnier, but he had under stood it since he had heard the explanations of the general, and had seen the counsels which he had given and followed. General Changander here said—" I beg M. do Montaletubert to mention precisely what he means." Al. de Montalembert said that he had regretted the dismissal of Gen. Changarnier; but he had under stood by what had since passed that there way be tween the general and the President a real incompa- The divisions of the party of order had begun with the electoral law of May 31. Startled then by tho success of its own victor-, the majority thought of dividing the skin of the hear, which they thought they had killed, although they lad only muzzled him. After some interruption, M. 3ltmtalembert re presented the President as the expression of au thority, which had need of defence. The speaker was often interrupted by the Left ; and M. Houdin was called to order, with inscription on the proves redid. Vehement apostrophes were interehanged. (At post-hour the debate was still proceeding, but a telegraphic despatch intOrms us that the bill was rejected by :596 votes against 201—being a majority of 102 against the government measure.) The Bourse seemed to-day but little aftictcd by the Ikttation question, The resolution of the President to abstain from agitating the country by a national subscription has no doubt contributed to give firm ness to the funds. The rives (lured at 06.85, being a rise of 30 etotinns upon yesterday. The interest attached to the subject of to-day's sitting drew together a small crowd opposite the entrance of the Assembly, faring the Place de Bour gogne. But there was nothing which could give the slightest uneasiness with regard to public nauquil lity. The guard of the Assembly was not increased. At the beginning of the sitting. the Assembly voted, by a large majority, in favour of granting the authorisation demanded by M. Ramon& la Casasette to prosecute M. Ney de la Moseowa.
