The boa. gentleman who made the maths mid that 700,0001 a year was leader the not; but ohs. yea MID DI adman this east, Sir Charles Hothem said that you would be obliged te keep 10 vessels when you now tad 26, so that whatever =pease there might be nearly half would be required. He thought, therefor*, that it would be impoesthe to believe either that you would diminish the =Siring of the passage, or would be able meek to have the =pease; that was to say, miler you abeadonth the Arden coast altopther, and gave up all the protectiou ef cowmen is other parts ef the wield, you thought asentery, and that you would never attempt to do. If there was say dem ean= which deserved the protection:which a navel fens ought to give its aid, it was the anises= which had spring up in the ports of Africa, end which could est tan,. salsa it received esenset peened= Sir Charles Indian said that the lives of British =binds wield sot be saved otherwise; sad the mean (Dr. CAI) said, in his evident* Wont the Lords, there would be a good deal of passion and reveille in °megatons of suppressing the slave trade, and great suffering sad trials. Then, it wee necessary to keep up eons force. Then, if the main resetting sapport of this sands wen proved'to have failed, what were the others ? Sir C. Hocken, being asked whether ha would withdraw the stleadron, said thee, ha his opiates, It would be highly iejanous to the keen= of this great country; he should twit to see the squadron withdraws, end nothing substituted Is its pleat. Let the ban rectilleet that it was a fair question to plate before the parliament of this country, that you might substitute for the present system another system which would be more .®sews la fiaally extiagnishiag the slays trade ; but that was totally a different question from that which was now before the house, which was that you should destroy the means you had at dullest without anything being don. The first objection to this plan wee that it would be highly injuriolui to the honour of the country ; in the next place, he thought it would be impowoble, without a greater force even than we now could keep up to preserve trots the slave trade those parts of Africa which had been rescued from it. There would been immediate rush to fled slaves in an unrestricted shin trade. There would be attempts violently made to sub. stints • slave trade where other commerce was now in existence, sad seeing the profits to be gained by the slave trade, the Aetna chi, re who had renounced it would agate resort to the slave trade. The ant objection was that such an unrestricted slave trod* would destroy the civilised= of the Africace ; it would destroy all ?one of in troducing civilisation and Christianity into that country. Is the nest plan they had to consider what would be the effect of an immense importation of slaves into Brazil. What that importation might be they gathered frm the evidence of 'Lowden, that at present a cargo worth 5,0001. in Attica was worth 25,0004. in the Br.x Is, making 600 per cent on the venture. It was not. impossible that numbers would enter into the vesture, which would reduce the profit beyond the ordinary profit of the world. What was the sate of the Brazils ? Thers.erere vast tracts of un cultivated land as fit for the caltibation of sugar es the richest parts of Trinidad. Those puts of Brazil would be immediately cultivated, for the purpose of pre dicting soar. Immense suffering would follow. The right hon. gentleman asked whether the man of human misery would be increased or diminished. Thoreau demeans misery would be immensely nereas.d in Africa and Brazil. There were three conclusive ranee against the semi= now prop .sod. In the first place, it would give great increased at.tivity to elan ry ; in the nest place it would disturb the civil sag a of Alan, and would eines to ruinoas =mein* tion the produce cf the fres labour of our West Indian islands. But the right hon. gentlemen, sad the gentlemen who made the motion, had asked what it was they would prop-se to do. He =atoned that in the last few years they had been the means of this squadron making pro gress in the destruction of the slave trade. That it would not utterly be suoprtesed by such means he was ready to admit; but the greater the territory which wee civilised the leas the area of the slave trade, the len the evils with which you had to cope, and more manageable the evils woull be. net committee omitted all means of force; they said that the destruction of berraeonns, the inflictions on the captains of vessels engaged in the slave trade, were not to be th. nen of as remedies for the present evil. Fur his own part, he believed the destruction el bananas, and the occupation of forte on the coast of Aries were the most pawerful means for suppressing the slave trade. He thought that in all the despatches they had proof that such was the cue. But the right hon gentleman had alluded to the =miens of Europe with respect to our policy and with inspect to the suppression of the trade. His opinion wits, that were you to address the different powers of Europe you would find that their opinion was mere enlightened on this subject than when we began, in 1815, to inform them of our opinion. We had sees that they had chiefly co-operated with us to repressing the slave trade. He believed that if England, France, and the United Stites, having each of them suppressed their own slave trade, were to use language not unfriendly, but at the same time firm, to Spain and Brazil, he belies* d that ouch language from these united countries—countries so free and so powerful —would have a areal effect upon the governments of those countries. That they would despise that waren/ he was not ready to believe. (Hear, hear.) If they took no measures for the suppression of the trade, then we would have again to consider what progress we had made, and whether the elan trade could be repressed to a greater extent next year than in the present year. Then, they would have to consider the means. That there were means that could be adopted, he admitted; but they were mesas to be cocdemned and rejected, and which none but a majority of the members of that committee would approve of. That e thmittee was appointed to consider the best means for the final extinction of the slave trade ; but it seemed to him that they had no other thought than this,—how to condemn and reprobate every means by whit= the slave trade could be extinguished, and for leaving alive the means by which it could le nourished and kept up. (Loud cheers.) As to an answer to the questioa, " What will you do for the suuitession of the slave trade ?" he should say " I will not despond." (Cheers.) He believed that te despond in a great cause was of itself a main cause of failure. (Cheers.) He could understand a man saying in 1814 that for three centuries the Algerines had carried on their plan of plunder, piracy, robbery, and the captivity of Christians, and that, having lasted for three een turies , DO one would be bold enough, or utopian enough, or insane enough, to expect its termination. - Yet next year saw the termination of that practice of three cen turies, and the scheme of conveying Chrittiaas into cap tivity utterly abolished. We (continued the noble lord) have been blest with great mercies during the past yesr. We have more than once had to thank Almighty God for the dispensations of those enemies. (Hear, hear.) I own it appears to me that if we were to say that this bade in :man, this unhallowed and duel traffic, against which England for near 60 yearskas bees working with the efforts of ker greatest statesmen, and the hands of her best and bravest sailors, is now to be allowed to go free and uncontrolled, we would no loner have a right to expect Uses blessings. (Loud cheers.) I believe that in the high Christian morel character of Ode mans is placed the main source and =net of her strength; and if this night we were to dine the foreign minister of the crows to go with a dastardly offer to France—(cheers)—if we now give up this holy work of merey, I say we an no loser fitted to take a lead in the championship against this curse and crime of slavery, and can no logger venture to expect those blessings which, by God's providesee, we =joy, (The noble lord resumed liis seat amidst prolonged cheering.) Lord R. GROSVENOR wished, in one sentence, to state the reason which led him to the painful neeenity of voting for the notion, and against those right ha . gentlemen with whom for so any years he had always concurred upon great questions. Indeed, after the speech of the right hon. gen tleman the member for the University of Oxford, he felt it would be unpardonable in kin to trespass on the attention of the house. He bad *DIDION only to say that his reams for settee for the motion was this—that it would prevent this country from oontinaina to attempt the moral government of the world upon principles which wen =snouted by the menl Governor of the ulnae Mosel, and in every page of scripture.

Now did say man who knew the temper of Ass nodose, of the world towards each other, believe for one moment that England would ever be permitted to amortise penal rights over the &leas of other states ? (Hear, near) He hoped lon. gantlsmen would serioasly coi.sider that question. If the slave trade were placed on the footing of piney , then, pro vtded saw other onsideraticals could be get rid of, the mum before them would be an intelligible ems ; bat be, for oars, believed that a more visionary idea never mitered the mind of men, mad that was another reams fee shining the present system. But there was another maskleratioo, tamely, to limits which parliament bad assigsed to Murkiest* with the sieve trade. Spain and Brazil had been breaking trea ties every day for the last twenty years, the treaties by which Brasil engaged to treat the imp motion of slaves is a rime. The noble lewd bad told them that they bad • per fect right to demand from Brazil the to flimsies of those treaties, and, if that wen so, they had of course a right to make the demand at the sword's point, and to make war on Brazil if she refused to fulfil her obligationa Bat though we had justice oa oar side ' neither the noble lord (Lord Palmerston), doing the fifteen years of his tenure of office, nor Lord Aberdeen, during flee, bad ven tured to urge the demands in that spirit; knowing that feeble as Brazil was, this c snowy would not dare to go to war with her on that question, much less to encounter those who would in such an event be blood standing in her roar prepared to support her. (Hew.) He mast again protest against the assumption that anything like inalifferenes on the part of the British governesses must follow the aban dimmest of attempts at repression by fora. He appre hended that, under any eircusugancee, the British g mend would use effectual means to prevent its own subjects hem engaging la the slave wad*. (Hear.) He **wed that be saw no newest why the British government should net couture, is cases in a hick (as in that of the Portu guese sett:omen° there were enthorised partial to all the endeavours which might be made to put down the slave trade. But he filthily acknowledged that he did not think that on the whole either Braid or Cabal had had full justice at their bands. His boa. friend (Mr. Cardwell) had referred to the arse of Cuba as that of a triumph of the squadron. Why had the importation of slaves into Brazil been increasing? (Hear, bear.) By what fatality, by what magic, by what charm or react inflictor.* bad the cruisers always hit on vowels intended for Cuba and not on vessels intended for Brazil ? (Hear, boar.) The real cause of the difference between its two eases wise, he believed, that the governor and the immunity of Cuba bad seen it to be for their interest that the slave trade should not continue. Wheat, he aiked, would have happened, supposing ~ur own ease, 60 yi ars ago, had boon Out: of Brazil at the present time ? Sixty years ago we sere the great slave traders of the world. Suppose some whirr Dalton, ba.f a century more advanced than ourselves, after abolishing the slave trade fur itself, bad stationed its cruisers on the roast of Attics. Way, in that state of things, the progress of public opinion is this country would h ave been i , definitely retarded. The blood of every 13,g -luhstan would have risen against foreign inter vention in concerns which, however wrongly, we con sidered to be our own. It *Gould not be forgotten that ten years ago • formal propeition was made in Breed for the extermination of the slave trade. (Hear) That proposrion on the part of Brazil did not seem to have mot with the favourable receptioa that it deserved. How numb saver they deplored or blamed the pokey of the go vernment of Brazil, they were not justified in 'eying that, if they withdrew their squadron frees the coast of Melee. the Brazilian government would display an unlimited encourage ment to the slave trade on their part. He (Mr. (iAdrons) cherished • hope that, in such • case, the Brazi,fan govern ment won d institute regulations to mitigate the sufferings of the slaves, and would take steps mute satisfac tory to put down the slave trade. Those 'topes were stronger this soy which he could enterrain mmeoneen with the preseat system, because in regard to that it appeared that whatever may be their zed, whatever may be thole liberality as regarded public money, whatever may brittle skill or ability of their tfficere, and whatever may be their success is forming treaties with other nations, the object which they bad in view the more and more eluded thew grasp, the slave wager mocked at their efforts, and while they were really in pursuit of an end that philan thropy held most dear, they had too much reason to lament that they were inatimorg the sunnier waich it was their obje et and desire to put an end to. (Loud cheers.) Lord J. RUSSELL said that he was more unions than ever he remembered that the house, when it came to • de cision on this subject, should has the atop st sense of its emporiums—an impatanea which it was quite impossible fur anyone to exaggerate, or even to state merely to its ull ex- Mem. list to give some taint idea of it, he b. eged to awe that lathe beginning of the present oratory England hod slaves is all her calderas ; that she curried on and permitted the slave trade ; and that the other powers of Europe who had colonies likewise sanctioned slavery, and wherever and whin. ever they could carry an the slays trade they likewise per mitted and sanctioned it. In the course of the time which had elapsed sines the Urania/ of this century they had sees the parliament of Esgiand etiolate the Mau trade. They bad mien Eng:and, in the treaty of Purim, make 'Mindanao with ail the cations of Europe declaring her coodemanation of the sieve trade. They had eau slavery itself abolished by an act of the English parliament. They badmen it abolished practically, effectually and entirely abolished by Frame sad the United Mires, and they had sen slavery itself very lately abolished by France sad Danmark. He would beg to be allowed to add to that, theugh It belonged rather to • subs. quect part of the moment, that those places in Africa which not many years ago were the e rongholde el the slave trade had been rescued from that aboonnaba traffic, and that the peaceful arts of industry now tiouriubed in thou _placers which were the temples of that horrible idol. It was at the end of these triumphs of humanity whit h he had jut brought be:ore their notice that they were now asked to begin the course of soother half century by a retrograde step—(lood cheers)—eeing back from all tact had hitherto been dobe, proclaiming to the world by this first step that they no longer will take those steps airiest the slave trade which they had hitherto taken, and that they had no subag ent@ to put in their place, sad thereby spreading discourage ment in every part of the world amongst those who admiring their 'Rumple, feeling the truth of this Cerisiiia maxim which they had professed, and wishing prat tically to act in the same manner, had been en deavouring each in their own country to spread the same maxim, and to abolish this horrible crime. To speak only of that country to which the right hon. gentle man (sr. Gladstone) last alluded—namely, Brasil—that right hoe. gentleman had stated that his noble friend near him gave evidence that there was a party in Brand which was hostile to the slave trade. Stec. hie Roble friend gave that evidence they had later accounts, and these later amounts, he wee sorry to say, represented that patty as utterly dispirited. Their language was to the effect that they feared that England was about to rise Moen her endeavours, and that if England eeaeed to take the lead in this great work of mercy, it would be a hopeless teak for them to attempt to raise their heads against • textile which they in their hearts detested. Every gentleman would rememoar that the treaty with France arose from a repugnance which was felt in France, from objections which were made in the French place of assembly against allowing the rightol search to the &Ilia, and as • substitute for that they agreed to keep cruisers of their own to prevent slavers from trading under the French flag. They gave the right of visit to the English cruisers, although they did not give what was technic.llly termed the right of search. That treaty, although their number of vessels had been diminished, had been most faithfully preserved by France. If, however, they asked France to relieve them trot their obligations, their lei h would be nailed ; and then what would their pcsition be? Would they be free to ant with the slavers as they thought proper 1 From that moment every slaver may hoist the French flag ; and they could not mums that they had any right which would enable them to search those versals to see whether they were vessels carryiag on the slave trade, or the national vessels of France. At emu the fl ag of France end else of the United &stem would be wed by the slave (radon, sad Great Britain would have no means to prevent its being carried on. It was noe ' es the tight hon. gentleman said, affect that they °add act u they aught fit. It was not worth the while of the right hos. gentleman to put forward that excuse fur the moment, because the Ma. gentleman who made the motion and the hoe. gentleman who followed Ma did cot disguise that, &Waugh they thought this step was necessary, their object was to restore the elan trade, or as the hen. gentleman who aeonaded the'uothen tailed it, free ends in slaves. That was the motion which he was about to deal with, and which he asked the house cot to sanction, and in so doing he did not wish to prevent any somaderation of the subject which the house may hereafter Walt desirable, or of any substitute which may appear either to tho government or the members of the house capa ble of better securing the suppression of the slave trade What he did demeanour, and whet be aakedthe house not to consent to was simply the reversal of all their policy, and • declaration that they would sot take away the means of putting down the slave trade by a marine lures, and would take no luau of providing a substitute for that pur pose. The right hon. gentleman following the hon. gentle man who made the motion, aliened to observations which had been made by Sir T. F. Buxton and by himself (Lord J. Russell.) Whether the language which they had used was too erring or sot, ens thing was obvious—that they used that language sot to induce the government, not to liana the ormintey, to relinquish thou mane 01 repression, but to show that these means of repression were not sufficient to Indus the governs/teat and parliament to sanction additioaal means, There was all the difference is the world between using an argument of that kind, saying that they 'build give up the whole task, and wing an ergs- gbe court.

Mr. Burets treatment of ministers resembles not a little the behaviour of Lord PALMERSTON sed Admiral PARKER to King OTRO. Year after year has Mr. Hvrr been sending in his " notes," fortunately with eirliamentary publicity. Aod each year has Lord FALIIERsTON been dunning his Greek bre three, from CoLETTI to LONDOS. There was " no answer" to the greater number of demands, a lame excuse to others. And an the Greeks pooh•poobed FINLAY and PACTFICo, so did the Foreign-office disbelieve that the anti-blockaders could be in earnest, or mull make a ease of it. There was no possibility of bringing the Greeks to reason, or to attention, short of a blockade and the capture of all their fishing baste. In like manner Mr. Herr blockaded Downing-street. The extreme measure created great uproar and alarm. As Bing Orno threatened to re sign, so did Lord PALMERSTON; and Lord Jolts was to share his fate. The Greeks called a council of friends and et mi-friends ; but t here wan no mode of ap peasing the foe, save paying the money. Down i n g-street, too, summoned its cone eil of adviser'', and spoke the lan guage of antler and defiance. But Downing -street met with small encouragement. Pay the money, advised the French mediator in the Greek calm. Proceed to withdraw the squadron at least next year, —nothing less will save you, was the advice yesterday of liberal and of Peelite, of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, of Lord HARRY VANE, and of men like them. The fact is, ministers have allowed public opinion to outran them upon this question. Lord PALMER STON, so go-ahead in many measures of foreign policy, has lingered behind in this : and he has kept Lord Joint back by the skirts. Now, the very essence of whiggism is to keep up with public opinion, or to tarry but a few steps in the rear of it. But to act this part requires great vigilance, sharpness, sensibility, qualities possessed and practised much better out of office than in. And the present ministers have been so long in, that they have forgotten them. Public opinion has been yearly, daily, withdrawing from the system of coercion on the coast of Africa—public opinion of all kinds, from the philosopher who would make QUASI:ISE work under the whip, to the anti slavery men, who would make a spoiled child of him. And ministers have, after all, no plea to offer but their own laziness for being left behind. What was Mr. LABOUCIiERE's best argument ? That he was not prepared with a shadow of a substi tute; that England had established a police, a very unwarrantable and expensive police, on that horrible coast, and that to withdraw it at once would be to let loose all the rogues, and do all the harm possible. But no one wants ministers in reality to do more than to take serious steps for withdraw ing from a useless and untenable position. They had but to promise this, and the debate would soon have been closed. But ministers, or at least Mr. LABOU CITERE, took high and defiant ground. The same old arguments were put forth, that the blockade might be retderid more efficient; that it would live an opportunity for treating with kings and chieftains; that the blockade, if it had not Prevented the export of slaves to the Brazils, had at eat rendered them dear there, and, in rendering them dear, had made it the interest of the Brazilian planters to treat them well. The idea ! that we are to levy a million each year upon the British taxpayer in order to make the slave in the Brazils a precii.us and well treated commodity. Well might one ex claim that such charity ought to begin at home, and expend itself on the bogs of Connaught. Surely there are other parties more interested than we can or ought to be in keeping up the price of slaves in the Brazils and Cuba—that is, the owners of the present black population there. Would it not be better and cheaper, and more true policy, to get them to make laws against the slave trade, than for us to do it for them, and even offend them by doieg so? We were at the same time sorry to hear Mr. Ls- BOCCIIERE denounce any emigration or transport of negroes to the West Indies as a renewal of the slave trade. It has been fully proved, that the transport of negroes or slaves to Brazil and Cuba cannot be prevented by a squadron, which the more it raises the price and the demand by its interven tion, rains just in the same proportion the in centives to overcome that prevention. To assert at the same time that negroes cannot be tran sported as freemen, is at once to declare that the Brazil system can neither be put down by coercion orb . y competition—in fact, that it is immortal. One of Mr.LABOOCTIERE'S hopes lies in the extension of Liberia. If free trade and transit to and from the West Indies was established for the negro, the whole coast might be converted into a Liberia—not, incised, an American Liberia, based on a prohibitive and exclusively trading system, but a free one in every respect, and pacific as well as free. The ministerial crisis, as the French call it, occu pied the house, however, more than the merits or de merits of the blockading squadron. On the last the majority could not require much time to make up its mind. But to upset the government, and reverse the questioce and the promisee of the session, was a matter of more serious and tardy consideration ' • and there fore the debate closed with a division that gave a majority of seventy-eight to the Ministry. Ammo the classes who will be affected by the repeal of the brick duty, we are not sure that those who will feel most grateful to the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER will be the parties hitherto iota rested in the manufacture. The operation of every excise law is, to a certain extent, to create a monopoly. Those who have got money to invest are cautious of embarking it in a trade hetered and hampered by revenue restrictions. The brick trade, it is true, has suffered from the operation'of these restrictions, from the practice of taking the duty upon green, or only partially manufactured bricks, and from the want of fair allowance for those more serious accidents which occasionally have swept hundreds of pounds out of the manu&cturers' pockets. But, upon the whose, the brick trade has been by no means one of the most oppressed of our excise-regulated manufactures. What does the brick-maker suffer compared with the soap boiler, compelled as the latter is to restrict his manufacture to certain days and hours, to lock up and unlock when it suits the convenience of the officer, to employ elaborate and expensive, instead of simple and convenient processes—obliged to make up his soap in a shape, perhaps, that does not suit hie market, and refused permission to refine it, or reboil it, or perfume it under penalty of paying another duty on the article? What does the brick-maker suffer compared with the distiller, who is too often absolutely driven to an illicit manufacture as his only protection wird the hardships which Somerset House imposes on him ? Wbat does he suffer com pared even with the papermaker, who perhaps every week of his life is debarred from executing some advantageous order by the difficulties attendleg the survey as directed to be taken by the Bleb* autho rities ? Sir CIIARLIUI WOOD may flatter himself that he is relieving trade from a burden by reducing an excise law, but if that was one of his objects in se looting the brick duty for repeal, we can only say that he would have done much better by beginning at the other end of the excise trammeled statute book. The best authorities have laid it down that the re peal of the brick duties will reduce the price Bs. per thousand. The duty was ss. 10d. on that number, leis one-tenth for miscarriages. The additional ex penses imposed upon tne trade, and the extra profits accruing to them from the monopoly, which they were, in some sort, enabled to preserve, added, it was estimated, to the price of bricks at the rate of nearly 2s. Gd. per thousand more. Some persons, indeed, conceive that this estimate is below the mark, rather than above it—and we have even heard in some quarters lOs. a thousand talked of as not an he possibfe reduction. But the full amount of snob a fall will not, we apprehend, arrive at once. Some time will elapse and effective oompetition must acquire ample force before the full advantage will be felt. Then we shall not despair of finding bricks go gown in proportion to the fall which followed the repeal of the dutiesat on es. The re of the brick d u ty w ill perhaps be the greatest to parties who have brick earth upon their own freeholds. Such is the simplicity of the trade, so small is the amo un t requ i re d to eater into it, th at almost every mu who has got brick earth may now become, if be so plains, his own brick maker, saving all the cost entailed by the carriage and cartage of these cumbersome articles, and all the profit heretofore paid to the manufacturer. It will be clear, however, that the extent t o w hi c h part i es would be disposed to manufacture their own Wicks would depend, in a great measure, upon the liberality of the dealers. If brick makers deal with the con sumer in a liberal spirit, abandoning the petty monopoly in which the Excise no longer will protect them, they need not greatly f ear e i t h er t h e , opposition of new competitors, or that which will probably be still more injurious to them, a system, as we may term it, of domestic manufacture. We are the more encouraged to these remarks by observing that the brickmakers of London met this day to consider the altered position of their trade. They must have remembered how the old glees mono pollutes suffered in consequence of want of proper libe rality towards the public upon the abrogation of the glass duties by the administration of Sir ROBERT PEEL. One of the fruits which the brick makers dis cussed was, no doubt, the propriety of • clause allow ing them a drawback. The goveriment, we believe, are not at present convinced that the stocks in hand are aufficienlly important to render any drawbacks necessary. We are informed, however, that there are several large manufacturers who have paid very con siderable amounts in the shape of dory, and to whom it would certainly be a great "hardship, were they now mulcted in what could only be considered a penalty for honest trading. It is particularly to be remembered that the brick meter has had no option se to the period of paying the duty. It was uniformly taken prior to the com pletion of the manufactured article, and consequently before the maker by any possibility could realise. A point in connexion with the question of draw backs which we think should fairly be considered with it is, the question of existing contracts. In many cases large brick works are in hand, the com pletion of which may not be accomplished for a num ber of months (repeats. We know of railway viaducts in progress, and county gaols and lunatic asylums building, of workhouses erecting, and streets being run up, under contracts taken at the price of bricks duty paid. Are the contractors to have the benefit of all thus duty, pocketing the money intended for the govern ment, or are the contracting parties to obtain the boon which the CUANCELLOIt of the EXCTIEQUER intends to give the people? It would be bitter, be it remembered, for the people, that the state should have this money, rather than that the contractor should put it in his pocket. We therefore suggest that a clause should be introduced into the bill, enabling those interested in existing contracts to review them in so far as this duty is concerned, in order that the benefit may go to thoee for whom it was intended. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY, 5 P.M. The Pattie announced last evening—and its state ment is copied by several journals this morning —that the government would present to the Assembly tc-day ' several very important bills; among others, one relative to journals, and another against electoral meting.. Up to the latest moment, however, the expected bills were not forthcoming, and the Assembly continued to discuss the articles of a bill on stamps, which had occupied its attention all yesterday. The violent and illegal document published by M. de Beasfirt in the Meßeager de In Semaine, and of which I Kave you a transcript in my despatch of Sa turday, is now disavowed by almost all the subscribers to the Club of the Council of State. M. de Beaufort has been under the uecesBity of addreesing to the journals a letter stating that the note is htch has created so much sensation, under the belief that it expressed the opinions of the 160 representatives of the National Assembly ender whose patronage that journal is published, was written by himself, without any eommunioation with those gentlemen in their collective character. The real state of the cue is this, that the rote is the off..prirg of certain members of the A-sembly who form part of the Orleenist Club of the Rue de Ricnelieu. X Mole will, it is said, publicly disavow any complicity with this daring mani festo, of which the authors a:e said to be MM. Baze and Piscatory. The party of which these gen tlemen are the chiefs have been endeavouring to oppose all disavowals of the note, but the more sensible of their number, seeing that the expected resu:t which had given rise to the publication of the note have not been realised, deny now having taken part in it. At a meeting, held by convocation, on Sunday, at the ministerial offices of M. d'llautpoul, the antici pated government measures were diecusred. Amongst the gentlemen present were MM.Mole,Thiers, Monts& lembert, Berryer, De Larcy, De St. Priest, Vatis coenil, de Broglie, Leon toucher, Piscatory, Lan juinsis. MM. O. Barrot and Dufaure, though invited, did not appear; they disapprove of the measures which the government, as alleged, is about to present; and the Ordre, the organ of the latter ex minister denounces them this morning as impossible and criminal. • Amongst those at the meeting most anxious in support of these new plans which the Ordre de nounce a, were MM. de Montalembert, Leon Faucher, ono Piscatory. M. Lanjninais, who is of the tiers or Cavaignac party, said that he had sarong doubts as to the opportunity or success of each measures, and in sisted on the salutary influence of moderation. Ber ryer and the legitimists vaguely announced their support of any plan compatible with the constitution ; they opposed on several grounds the idea of increas ing the amount of caution-money of journals.

GREECE AND THE LEVANT. We have received the following letter from our correspondent. It will be seen that put of the in telligence front Athens has been anticipated : ATHENS. Malmo 9. There is at last some likelihood of this paltry question being brought to something like an amicable arrangement. On the 2nd Mr. London received front Mr. Wyse, through the French ambassador, a letter announcing that Lord Palmerston had accepted the offered mediation of France, who had appointed Baron Gr.s to act as arbiter; meanwhile the blockade was to be suspended toe a reasonable term, and the vessels already seized to remain es hostages until a definite arrangement was made. Baron Oros arrived bore on the 28th ult., and was received in audience of !Sing Otho on the following day. To-day he went to the Pirtens to have an interview with Mr. Wyse, who came in a steamer from Salamis on purpose to see him. Nothing will be done until the Greek government hears from St. Petersburg, and the courier is expected to-day. There are many reports as to wLat will be the advice of Huseis. Whatever it may be Oise**, will be totally mine l utile*, this affair be speedily settled ; for, although the p ‘rts of Green are again open, who will charter a Greek vessel with the chance of seeing her. when ready for sea, carried off to Salamis Bay ? Toe suspension of the blockade will not exceed fourteen days from to-day. 1
