LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 12. THE correspondence relative to the disbanding of the Anglo-Chinese naval force, published in the organ of the expedition, confirms in the most striking and conclusive manner the views of those who have from the first condemned the adventure as an unwise and impracticable interference with the internal affairs of that vast and distracted empire. Whatever name it might bear, such an enterprise, if carried out, must have been in reality • direct intervention on the part of this country in an aimless but gigantic civil conflict between rival races, religions, and interests, equally barbarous, and marked on either side by atrocities equally revolting and inhu man. And having been undertaken in the interest of the Imperialists, the expedition, if successful, would eventually have saddled us with the tre mendous task of extending our rule over some three hundred and fifty millions more of the human race. It was foreseen from the outset that the imposing British contingent organized by Mr. LIY must either sink into a mercenary force, or imposing its own conditions of action on the Chinese Govern ment, become virtually the rulers of the Empire. There was absolutely no escape from one or other of these alternatives, nor could there be any doubt as to which would prevail. It was not to be supposed for a moment that a British officer of the high character and standing of Captain Szaasay Ossozuv would under any circumstances consent to become the instrument of a purely Chinese policy, and it is clear from the correspondence that he intended from the first to impose on the Imperial Government what he con sidered to be a British policy, and that with this end in view he had taken very decisive precau tions for controlling its action. The second paper of the correspondence is "The agreement entered " into between Inspector-General B. N. LAY and Captain SHERAZD °snow:, R.N., C. 8.," and the sweeping nature of the conditions under which alone the Commander of the Anglo-Chinese fleet was to act will be seen by glancing at a few of the clauses contained iu this Memorandum : a British officer having to serve *foil unprincipled, lying Mandarin, g diddled by barbarians, makes him turn sway from t►e OX pedition in disgust. And truly we should have been ashamed of him if he bad acted otherwise. He tells Prince Kuiva in plain terms that be woe out to command, not to obey ; is revolutionise, not to carry out the sell& limited policy of the Imperial Government By " submitting to such instructions and violation of " my original agreement I should at once deprive "myself of the power to assist in carrying cat in " China the policy of Western civilization. My " force, powerful as it will be for good or seil, " might be directed against the interests of ma " merce or of common humanity. Brutal butobsay " might be perpetrated, and I should be powerless " to prevent it. My men and officers, the pick of " many from the Royal Navy of England, would be " associated upon equal terms with the rowdies and " pirates the Foutai might be pleased to employ." He insists on this point again, and if possible in still loftier terms, in reply to the justification of its conduct attempted by the Chinese Foreign-office : —" To the argument advanced by the Chinese " Foreign-office that the course proposed by " Prince Krivc is a usual one in Chins,' I reply I " did not come here, or my followers either, to ao " custom ourselves to the treatment usual with " Chinese sailors or soldiers, or to mist them in a " retrogressive policy in the treatmentof European " my/oyes or Europeans in general. The employ " meat of ships of war and war steamers of Euro " peen construction is an innovation, that of Ewe " 2. Osborn, u Commander-in-Chief, is to have entire control over all vessels of European construction, as well as native vessels manned with Europeans that may be in the employ of the Emperor of China, or, under his authority, of the native guilds. 3. Lay will procure from the Emperor such an authority se may be Deosertry to corer Osborn's act* ars the Commas der•io-Chief of the European Chliaati Navy. 4. Osborn undertakes to act epos all orders of the Em peror which may be conveyed direct to Lay, and Osborn engages cot to atteed to any orders conveyed through any other chassol. pean officers and gentlemen still more so. I and my force are part and parcel of a new order of things indicating progress in China.' I will be no party to her lapsing back into her ancient system and treating Europeans as if they were Chinamen." The moral of all this is plain enough. As a " European officer and gentleman," Captain COSHOHN went to China to impress Western ideas and Western policy on the Imperial Government, and assist it in carrying out the new order of things. In this, as well as in his language and conduct at Pekin, he showed a perfect sense of what was due to his character and position as an English officer. The passages we have quoted from his spirited remarks on Prince Kuiro's Letter of In structions indicate plainly enough that he was deter mined to maintain this position. Bat they prove still more clearly that he had no buainess at all in China as the servant of the Memos Captain OSBORN was at once a British officer, a subject of the Quails, and an employe of the Chinese Government. The position was a false one from the first, and, unless the Imperial Government were utterly imbecile, must in the nature of things have ended, as it has done, in failure and disappointment. The attempt to carry Western civilization to China and diffuse Western idess amongst the Chinese is a very laudable undertaking. But it cannot be made by any one in the position of an officer of the nati►e Government, which has always consistently opposed those ideas as fatal to its own existence. That Govern ment, like all the governments of the East, will indubitably maintain its character to the end. And before Englishmen and English officers again engage in such a service it would be well for them to weigh more seriously than the leaders of the Anglo-Chinese expedition appear to have done the questions which it appears from the correspondence they proposed to themselves :—" How are cruel " or unjust orders from Pekin to be prevented " How shall European officers and seamen levy " war for a barbarous sovereign without being " made to participate in acts which our country " would repudiate ?" THE burden of our Christmas and New Year's song this year has been our blessings of peace and order and general prosperity at home, while every continental country is suffering under disturbance and alarm. It is right to be grateful for such privileges—and it would be the worst of calami ties if we were not ; but those are the best patriots who set forth most plainly the truth that such alarms as we suffered from in the departed year arose directly from our own mistakes and shortcomings. The menace of war with America arose out of the privateering which has afflicted the Americans through our neglect and delays, and the false expectations crested in Poland were caused by our uncertain action in regard to its oppressors. Mr. FORSTER'S address to his constituents last Friday ailorde warnings, and sets forth our duties and deficiencies with a plainness of speech which is more instructive, and therefore more patriotic, than the most fervent expressions of satisfaction in our domestic tranquillity, and our immunity from the strifes and the passions which are dis turbing our neighbours. Few or acne of our countrymen will now question that we did right, as a people, in refusing that recognition of the Southern Confederacy which would have been a practical intervention in the American conflict, or that we made a mistake in excluding Mr. Fos- STEIL'S amendment on the Polish question, a decla ration by which we should have emphatically con demned the course of Runde without exciting hopes in the Poles which we were not prepared to gratify, and bringing upon ourselves the rebuff which we have had to endure from their oppressor. Such lessons should warn sod guide us in the psrpkxities which beset us in our continental policy at the opening of the new year. Not only will it be • critical season in regard to continental politics, but there must be more or less trial of forces at home. For a considerable time the vast importance of a good conduct of our foreign relations has given to Government and parties a liberty sod security which cannot last for ever, and which the people are beginning to think has lasted full long enough. In the policy of the Government, as in Mr. Footmen's address, the domestic interests of the country must now mums their due prominence. No Conserva tive Ministry would now dare to reverse or impair the foreign policy of England, knowing that any attempt to do so would be their instant ruin. The time has therefore arrived for the re sumption of • liberal and progressive policy at home ; and, while necessity clearly requires this, the shortest way to it may be, as Mr. Fossres believes, by remanding to Opposition the Ministry whose effete or sham liberalism has long ceased to answer to the needs of the country. At any rate we cannot go on as we are, deteriorating in our liberties and retro ' grading in our political course while pre tending to stand on the principles of the re forms of former days. The American war has cast a strong light on our position ; and we deserve any consequences which our lathes may produce if we do not take care that no more time is lost in coin ; witting the political strength of the commonwealth to the right hands. Through the American war we have learned what there is of sound political insight and judgment, and fidelity of polities' , conscious, in the large working des which is still excluded from political rights. 5. Lay, upon his part, engages to refuse to be the medium of any orders of the reasonableness of which he is not satisfied. The two last of these provisions clearly destroy the independent action of the Chinese Govern ment, and deprive it of all means of carrying out its own policy. Instead of being any longer supreme, it becomes in effect the servant of Messrs. LAY and OSBORN. Captain 0811015 will obey no orders except those conveyed to him directly from the Burritos through LA; and LAY is to exercise his own discretion as to what orders he will for ward. If he is not satisfied with the orders issued by the Imperial Government he simply refuses to convey them, and they become at once a deed letter. Under such an arrangement Mr. LAY and Captain OSBORN would have exercised the supreme authority, and thus have become for the time being the rulers of China. Prince Kowa had quite sufficient discernment to perceive this obvious bearing of the agreement between the Inspector-General end the Captain of the Fleet, and on its being communicated to him, be very naturally refused to ratify it. In his own instrno tions to Captain 0811ORN the Prince makes effective provision for carrying out the orders of the Im perial Government, by stipulating for the appoint ment of a Chinese Commander-in-Chief of the united navy, under whom Captain OSBORN is to serve. The British Captain repudiates this pro posal, not only with characteristic firmness, but in a tone of conscious superiority that would no doubt help to convince Prince RUNG of its wisdom and necessity. Captain 09901LN can, indeed, hardly restrain his indignation at the bare thought of acting under the Imperial Govern- ment in any inferior capacity.

The spectacle has moved of the northern expedition.

Will not this explain the in- tration has revived and concentrated the old libe- ralism of the middle classes, and their leaders. The same must be said of all the questions which have been falling back for years—the questions in which religious liberty is involved, from the Irish Church to the Burial Bill, the Land question, the remains of the Law of Settlement, and the question of just and prudent taxation. It is probable that a Conservative ministry may serve us well in the East, in helping us out of our entanglements in China and Japan; and while they are so engaged, and while we are seeing what good measures they have to propose at home, we may be preparing for a new start in political wisdom and welfare by reforms such as neither party is, or ever will be, while in high places, prepared to offer. Such, in Mr. Foarraa's view, and that of other well-principled Liberals, is our position and our prospect. It will be well if all see, u plainly as himself and his constituents, that the one only way to all other politicg reforms and gains is a thorough reform of the representation. The more this is considered the more plainly it will be seen that to refuse this, or to defer it too long, is to brave dangers incomparably more se rious than any which the most timid Conservative need apprehend from any gradual and deliberate extension of the suffrage. TEE official communication from Lahore, pub lished this evening among our telegrams, announces what we hope will prove to be the early and unex pected conclusion to the war on the Punjaub frontier. Mukla, the seat of the Hindustani fanatics, has been reached and destroyed, and our troops are preparing to return. At the date of the latest ad vices they were in the territory of a tribe which professes friendship for us, and have only to exact hostages from the Judoon and Othmanzye tribes, according to precedent, before going into quarters. The authorities on the spot, whoever they may be, who controlled this movement, and, by limiting its fan, have brought to a close what seemed at one time likely to grow into • serious war, deserve praise. tention attributed to those courts of substi- tuting their intervention for that of the con federation I To obtain from Denmark solemn guarantees for the maintenance of the rights of the duchies, and in return to protect the integrity of the Danish monarchy, such we are assured will be the programme adopted by the, two great German powers. If this is so the Dano-Gorman conflict will be absorbed in the grave antagonism which will be provoked between Austria and Prussia on the one hand and the secondary states on the other." The Prase of Vienna indulges its readers with an account of the various means by which Queen Louise of Denmark has endeavoured to detach her son-in-law, the Prince of Wales, from Coburgian sympathies, and obtain from England a material support of Denmark. The same paper uses the fol lowing language :—" A day will oome in which the countries of the Schlei and the Eyder will be taken from Denmark, and Germany, freed from Danish ar rogance, will dominate over the peninsula which forms the key of the two seas, and which they now dispute with it so obstinately." The most avowed partisans of the Duke of Auguatenburg appear prepared to sacrifice Schles wig provisionally to the triumph of the pre tender in Holstein. " The news," says the Temps of Hamburg, the principal organ of the Augustenburg agitation, " of the arrival of 12,000 Prussians and Austrians, is rather disquieting than reassuring. The circumstances are such that we are compelled to regard with distrust any mingling of the two great powers in our affairs, and to desire that their soldiers and their commissioners were rather distant from than near to our frontiers. However we may wish to see our brethren of Schleswig delivered from their chains, we can not desire for the moment an occupation of that duchy. What we ask now of the Diet is that it would recognise Frederick as Duke of Holstein— neither more nor less." (nom's 11:110ILLML) THE SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN QUESTION. VIENNA, JAN. 12. It is stated that the Danish Minister for Foreign Affairs has addressed a note to the Austrian cabinet, indirectly admitting that Denmark had not fulfilled her engagements, and requesting that the negotia tions between Denmark and Germany might be continued from the point at which they ceased in 1851-52. SCHLESWIG. ALTONA, Jag. 11, Evisucc. According to advices received here the families of subaltern officers and others inhabiting the castle of Gottorp have been ordered to evacuate it within 24 hours, as the government of Schleswig will be transferred thither. It is said that the King and Queen may possibly take up their resi dence in the castle. The party in Schleswig favourable to the claims of the Angustenburg family are reported to have sent an address to Kiel expressing their devotion to the Prince of Augustenburg. SPAIN. NEW ELECTORAL LAW. MADRID, JAZ. EL In the sitting of the Congress of to-day the Minister of the Interior read a bill for a new elec toral law. Opinions upon the measure are di vided.

IMPORTANT DEBATE.-SPEECH OF K TRIER& (720/1 OM OWN PARIS, MO2IDAT Emma.. It being known that M. Thies was to open the debate on the address to-day, the Salle des Pas Perdue of the Corps Legislatif exhibited at an early hour all the bustle and animation of the old par liamentary times. Groups of eager political gos sips began to form so soon as 12 o'clock. By 1 o'clock every seat in the tribunes was occupied, and every deputy as he entered the home was sur rounded by friends beseeching him for tickets which he had not to give. As is usual on great occasions, ladies in gran& toilette filled up a very large propor tion of the lamentably restricted space allotted to the public. Prince Napoleon was amongst the sena tors who sat on the bench reserved for members of the upper chamber. M. Dupin, the Marquis de Boissy, and General Fleury were also there. Several defeated candidates at the last election, and among them M. Casimer Perier, were favoured with places in the tribune. As soon as the Duke de Morny took the chair, and the minutes of the last sitting had been con firmed, M. Thiess rose, and amidst profound silence spoke as follows : I lately told you that I should very soon sale leave to speak of the home policy of the country, and that I should take this opportunity to offer some penned explanations as to the reason for my presence in this chamber. I well know that great assemblies have something else to do than to think of Wielded. ; bet it seems to me a duty which I owe to my fellow-citizess, who met me here without asking from me any profusion of faith, and also to you, my col lieries, whose confidence I should be happy to possess— (enplane)—to give then explantions. It is now 34 years since I first sat within these wells. I was • member of every chamber from 1830 to 1848. I was also • member of the Ocestineat and Legislative Aarmnblies of the Republic, and now you ass me en the beeches of the Corps Legislatif of the Empire. Daring this long period of time I have sees men and things, opinions, and even affec tions, passing away in rapid succession, and amidst the torrent which seemed as if it would carry everything away, principles alone have survived—those social and political Principles upon which modern society is band. It is true that during certain singularly dark days there were mo ment. when order seemed to be so shaken that people anxiously inquired whether it would seer again b• ortabliehed. Later it was liberty that seemed to diaper ; and yet now order is restored and liberty is on the point of reviving. I doubt not that you, gentlemen, will have been struck by this ocedderation, that an indi vidual, who must always be very little when compered with the grandeur of events, s oaly worth something in so far as he understands sad is faithful to great principles. For myself there are three principles which I have always con sidered as the rule of every honest life—national sove reignty, ceder, and liberty. I bate lived with the school called that of 'B9, which thinks that Frame has the right to dispose of her destinies, and to choose her gownsman My opinion is that she should nee her sovereignty very seldom, sad that it would be sees better if she saver used it at all. But when she has freely prosouneed her denim is law--theolonged spplaaee)—sad it would be contrary ono, to right and commas seem to enclieueur to eshilitate winger views for the will of the ometry closely expreseed. (Renewed cheerier.) Bat after having salmitted to the legal government of his comity, there see two things which • titian has a right to ask for—ceder and liberty. With out order society is in amain, it is troubled, cannot attend to labour, or at lead works but little. Now the rich man may sometimes live without working, but society is a labourer, condemned to gain his children's bread by working from morning to easing. When order and em ployment are wanting, the tenancies of society are towards despotism. If, en the other head, liberty is wasting, society suffers in • different way, but it does not earn the lees; it then agitates, feels itself humiliated, becomes irritable, and, an when deprived of eider it toads to despotism, so when deprived of liberty it tends to revolt'. tin. Such are the principles which I have always kept steadily is view amidst the confusion of event.. When the . Republic was proclaimed, I accepted it, although it was not the government of my intended. ; and I asso ciated myself with some courageous nes who defended order is the Assembly. Order was saved; Frames returned to the monarchical principle ; I submitted spin out respect to the principle of national eovereigsty, lad I Tee maned in private life. During this retirement earybedy knows how I have employed my time. (Olesson) I have loyally and honestly written my country's history. (Chosen) I would willingly have pureed the rest of my life is • priests station, bad not the decrees of Noventher,lB6l and 1862,beea promulgated.

The Emperor has changed this date of things. (Lett speaking.] (arum's resionsm.) PARIS, .TAN. 11, Emmett. The debate upon the address was commenced at the sitting of the Corps Legialatif to-day. M. Thiers showed that the necessity for liberty was now universal in Europe. He maintained that the Emperor might become the initiator of freedom. The speaker claimed the re-establishment of that liberty whose exercise was suspended by the empire, and insisted particularly upon the necessity of restoring liberty to the national representation, and of re-introducing ministerial responsibility. M. Thieri further showed that France was ripe for liberty, and said : "If the chief of the State does not know bow to cede, the country would exact that which it now respectfully requests." Upon this condition M. Thiers promised his unreserved support to the government M. Rouher, in reply, recalled the words need by M. Thiers, " The country will exact," and stated that he considered that expression a threat, of which the government was not afraid, as it did not belong to those whom people menaced. _ _ _ M. Rouher maintained that none of the liberties demanded by M. Thieve were deficient in the country ; that the parliamentary system which it was sought to bring back bad bad its day ; that the Emperor reigns and governs ; and that liberty would follow when the time had arrived, but that it was necessary to wait. K Jules Fevre, replying to the speech of K Rouher, reproduced in part the arguments of K Thiers. The debate will be continued to-morrow.
