ITISSDAT , MAY 21. luau is one point in Freest& contemporary history to which we have before alluded, but to which we beg strongly to direct the attetties of oar conserve tire and our landed politician'. It is that the great element of modern trouble and anarchy, socialism, or socialism in a subversive sense, has taken far deeper root and wider extension in the agricultural classes and districts than in the manufacturing ones. The &are of our retrogrades in and out of parliament are evidently directed to the con glomeration of operatives and to the "rest maw boturing population in certain districts. Whilst some tones would gladly check the extension of such a class, and others would neutralise their power, by setting master and operative at variance, and conciliate the latter at the expense of the former, the conservatives entertain no fear of the agricultural population, however houseless and nomads, provided they can keep them from the subversive effects of secular education. A glance over the sever"! provinces sod depart ments of France might afford an useful lemon to gen tlemen who entertain these views. The portion of France which has most developed its industry, which has most capital, most manufactories, and which con sequently has the largest non-agricultural and middle class, is what we may describe "'the external division of France,the provinces that lie rather on the northern frontier, or on the ocean, being thereby open to trade and adventure, to movement and commerce. All these provinces, without an exception, have returned members to the conservative majority of the National Assembly.' If there be a place in France that resem bles Manchester and our manufacturing districts, it is Lille, Roubaix, and the region round. Here, however, the socialists are in a minority, whilst in the rich • and stirring ports of the west they are still less apparent or dangerous as a party. Leave theme maritime and industrial districts, and penetrate into the rarely agricultural ones of the in terior, into the Crewe. the Cher, the Upper Saone and Loire, and you will find the electors red republican to a man. It matters not whether the country be so subdivided as in Alsace, which averages properties of an acre and a half, or in the Cher, where they are of an average of six acre*, it is ell the same. Is these stagnant districts, where after all there exist numbers of pi:matey squires, where university educa tion has never penetrated. and where the good and ignorant cures have bad the world of ideas alto them selves, her. shake the urn and send round the bal lot-box, and yes will get nee but the socialist and democratic republicans returned. We own the great exceptions to this rule in the cases of Lyons and of Paris—that of Lyons, with its deep and long dated schism between masters and workmen, would require and can receive a long ex planation. The inveteracy of the lower orders in Paris is also in part owing to the memory of past struggles, and to what they consider faithless treat ment. Conquerors of the military force in two great battles, to which they received the word and the ex =pie to rise from the close above them • not only deprived of all reward alter both, bat actu ally perse cuted and treated like wild beasts—a peculiar feeling of vengeance and retaliation has been created, with which the principles on either side have little to do. But even in Paris the spirit of the masses derives some of its impatience of superiority from their rural education. The hewers of wood and drawers of water form a very large proportion of the lower clam of Parisians, and these are peasantry from the country, nothing else. These flock to the capital, too, from the poorer, and what are represented ail the most regnant agricultural districts, where the seeds of communism exist, and where they have been most abundantly developed. Another consideration is, that the army is chiefly recruited from these districts. The young conscripts of the north and west have families rich enough in general to purchase them substitute.. The young conscripts of the east and centre must march when they draw a bed number • and when they draw a number that ex empts, their provisos has oo little activity, or capital, or resource., that they gladly take a price to enter the army as a temp/occult Socialism is a wide and a vague word, and, se at present used and avowed in Fresco includes a great diversity of temper, principles, and aims. There is the socialism of philanthropy, and of intelligence there is the socialism of faction and turbulence, the: socialism of envy and of ignorance. It is the last that strikes us as the most dangerous ; indeed, as the only dangerous; and it is precisely this kind which is developing itself in remote agricultural popula tions, not merely of France, but of Germany, and of the Sclavonio countries. _ _ Wherever it springs up, however, we feel confident that with one weapon alone can it be eel dandy and safely clinbated, and that is, with intelligence and reason, with fairness, and education. Repression, baps"; proscription, oeneorabip, the sending writers to prison, and depriv• ing printers of their presees 7 thess modes, now in full use by M. CAILLIEZ in Paris, apparently the true and only French minister of the day—are precisely the ways most calculated to increase and embitter socialism, to put right on its side, to make it a reli jot, and its victims martyrs. To attempt to put down the socialism of the great towns by the sabre of the pollee, and by exclusion from the electoral law, is about as wise as the effort to put down rural socialism by rendering the curate and the friar supreme masters of education. In both cases it is aggravating the ill, not coring it. However, it is not so much for France and French- men that we undertook to write these few words, as for Englishmen. And our intent was to show that socialism, at least all that is subversive sad da= in socialism, was in truth not as intellectual to be feared amongst the manufacturers, but amongst the agricultural classes; that it proceeded sot by any means from agglomeration of capital and of the labour that it employed, but that, on the contrary, the ill was chiefly indige nous in poor, remote, and stationary districts. More over, that it by no means was that madness which proceeds from too mach learning, but from too little; that it was bred by ignorance, sad became more deeply foetal in ignorance ; and that it throve won derfully in the midst of exclusively religious intim tion, whilst in districts of the greatest amount of secular edscatioa and enlightenment, u in the north of Frame, than socialism utterly failed to take any root whatever. A case illustrative of the thousand sod one ways in which the present law of settlement acts harshly towards the poor, cad injuriously to the int eres t s o f all concerned, came, a few days back, under the notice of the Court of Queen's Bona. The case was Gus in which two parishes comprehended within the same union got involved in the meshes of litigation on a question respecting the maistenance of some paupers. It appears that an order of justices had been issued in St. Stephen's, near &hash, foe the removal ot certain paupers to the parish of Boters-Fleming, which was ascertaioed to be that of their settlement. The churchwardens and overseers of the latter parish bei. unwilling to Meer the espesee of the removal, made overtures to the churn hwardeas and overseers of the former, which resulted in an arrangement to the effect that, if the paupers were permitted' to remain where they were, Boum-Fleming would indemnify Si. Stephen's against the exposes of their madames. The parish of St. Stephen's performed its part of the agr t, bat the other retuned to perform its part by paying the stipulated indemnity. Aa motion was therefor* brought for the recovery of the rum due, which action was foasded epos the agreement. The defendanti demurred to the tisclaratia, on the double grotto,' that the eirouseat Ina void is Week al a inMalat consideration, and that, without sideration, it was void oaths • r illegality re lied epee was ' __phase's tad no power to an order of thejesticeer be objestion, both ea this seers esmidsrat ice _TM arrangeosem=f -tie avoid • doable settlement.

Bat what hes hem malty ilemosece lif died by all thief An expessive lawn% awl a owl to the state of things which liredneed the listate. Boters-Fleming was, at the time, saved the mews of removal, but it has now to pay the oasts of the adios. In addition to this it will hate, if it has net already bad, to bear the very express why II originally sought to avoid ; for if the paupers mese and have not been already removed late the =of their settlement, it is likely that they will way speedily be es; and whatever advantage nigM have accrued to them from remaining will he, If It has not already been, lost to them. We do not pretend to my that the lawsuit, with all its attendant disadvantages, was the necessary cones =of this agreement. The additional insonve to which it may subject the parish of Bofors- Flaming, are to be attributed solely to its own churlishness in departing from its engagement What we object to is the continuance of the system, the mischiefs and burdens of which the agreement was intended to avoid. It was an agreement which, sager existing circumstances, woula have benefited twe of the parties concerned, without injuring the third. But the third party was not compelled to eater into it, and might, bad it seen fit, have executed the order of removal, by at owe flinging the upon the parish of their settlement. En done so, it would have driven them from • place in which there was a prospect that some of them at least might find employment, and cease to be a burden upon the rates, to one where there was little chance of their ever emerging from the rank of paupers. The is what it would have been upheld in doing by the lhw of settlement—a law which, in innumerable ways, operates to private injury and public detriment. It is true, that ander the recent decision, it only sanctions, without eejoin ing, the removal, the court having decided that a justices' order in such a cue is onlv a means resorted to by • parish for its own protection, of which it may, but is not bound, to avail itself. But it is cigar that each pariah will. when necessary, avail itself of it, unless it is protected in some other way, such as the* indicated by the arrangement in questioo. In =My instances the alternative proteotioa is gaaraatoed, and actually extended to the pod*, which consents to keep its summery =of removal in abeyance, and a need penes is thus saved to the parish of settlement. Bat instances are constantly occurring in which this knot so ; and, taking the country generally, the cost of transferring paupers from the scene of their intru des to the parish of their settlement forms no inconsi derable item of our local expenditure. Whilst it thus entails great expense, the system is ore which inter rupts the free circulation of labour, thus preventing the poor man from reeking for the most profitable in vestment of that which is his (sly capital. It also perpetuates that anomalous state of things which, u regards population, gins rise in centimes pa rishes to the opposite phenomena of osasseds• and depletion, masoning an inequality of cinsesimes and condition, as respects the poor, the ondatesames of which is is contrary to sound policy as it is hoes @latent with every feeling of humanity. The obvious remedy for the evil is the 'mincemeat of the area both of settlement and taxation. But it may be objected that a union settlemsot would not get rid of the evil, as it is one which is inseparable from the very system of settlement. Granting this, it is sufficient to say that it would greatly mitigate the evil. The whole system of the poor law, with all its attendant circumstances, is but one monster evil, to which we mast at palmist submit.

London, Feb. 5, 1550. General—la answer to the demand for an interview, Lord Pali:tante' had proposed to me a meeting, at ten o'clock at night, or this morning at eleven o'cloek. Yesterday I should hare fond him fatigued or pre•oocupied with the debates in parliament. To-day be would be more free. I therefore preferred not toeing him till this morning. I have just left him. Oar conversation lasted a long Use, and finished well. The following is an account of it which I abridge, in order that you may not have to wait: I presented to Lord Pelmenton a very animated picture of the unfavourable impression which the sews from Athens had Median Franco, on the president, on the council, en the diplomatic corps, on the whole of the sseenably, and on public opinion. I pointed out how painful it was to us that such sudden and violent resolutions should be taken without our knowledge against ea allied nation ; how very exor bitant were the means of execution; and how strange and contradictory the new petition would be which then' events would create in the But. • • • • I pass rapidly over the explanations which the principal Secre tary of State gave me to justify the pretensions of England. I told him that I had seen, with satisfaction, in the cor respondence of M. Thouvenel, and in the words pronounc d by the Marquess of Lansdowne in the House of Lords, that at all evens the question of the two small islands was not among those which Admiral Parker would treat in a milt manner. Palmerston replied, that if that point was not com prised in the demands of Mr. Wyse, it was, nevertheless, in the instructions of Admiral Parker, who had been autho rised to deprive the Greek authorities of Sapienza of the posses ion of the place. I fremoutrated strongly against this. I reminded him that France had guaranteed the integrity of the Greek ter ritory, and that a seizure of that kind could not in any case be carried out without bringing us into the field. I added, that if a blockade was one of the meseares which Admiral Parker had the choice of taking, it might lead to grave com plications, by engaging tie interests of third parties in the discussion. On these two points I made the most express reserves. Returning to the surprise which the explosion of Britirh esrsplaists against Graeae Lad occasioned to us, I opposed to than ptacmdings ths extreme cars with which we had loyally associated, or at least informed England, with nearly allow resolations. I added soms maiminations re- Wire to the affair of La Plata, commeaced with us and ter minated without us. Lord Palmerston, attenuating the importance of what bad taken place at Athena, replied that that affair appeared to him so simple, and of so little importance, that he had net thought it worth while to mention it to the French government. He then added, with precautions of language, that beside., if Mr. Wyse did not linen to the advice of 11. Thouvenel, it wee because he had reason to believe that in this discusei.a the repneentative of France in Greece had roads up his mind on the subject in a manner which ren der= the rOie of mediator or arbitrator impossible. I de fended M. Thouvenel with great energy, giving him full jus ties ter his impartiality, and, without waiting uselessly to discern the grievanes of England, I seised upon the open ing which Lord raiment= had given me. " It the little in. portaace which yea attached originally to this affair, and the swarition which you had with respect to M. Thouvenel, are the may motives which have made you neglect or decline the !deadly (o.fficieteee) mediation of France, then two reasons must disappear toda y. The gravity of the conflict, and the impartiality of the rench agent in Greece, can no longer be objects of doubt ; sad besides, there is no rea son why the accordance which did not take place at Athens should not be established at London or Paris.

If any proof were needed that the quarrel with England ham been picked designedly by the Burgrave cabal out of a flimsy diplomatic punctilio, merely to pitch over the English alliance, and to get rid of the inconvenientT o rgles suggested by constitutional tea- ditions, that would be furnished by the leading article of to-day's Conditutiessad, a paper which re presents more nearly than any other the hidden power which roles this country. In the opinion of this organ parliaments, the press, juries, and all those institutions which it admits ere the most solid guarantees of society, become, 'in the present state of France, mere instru ments of anarchy. This is the daily language of the moderate papers.

I told him that you were very anxious that the acceptance of oar good aloes should take, u soon u possible, the body and consistence of an o ffi cial act, and that I waited impa tiently for the answer to any note. I added that I hoped that the answer would not contain any allusion to the Luta which are mentioned in the last reports received at tke Foreign-offloa. Lord Palmerston agreed with me ; only Ins told me that he would introduce into his note a paragraph for the purpose of well determining the nature of our intervention, which would be, not an arbitratiebut • friendly mediation (media tint officiesiss),.an inter Lion of good offices. " Some thing," he said, " like w you did in the affair of the selpaur of Sicily, and what we ourselves did in your dif ference with Maziers. It is in these terms that Lord Normal:dry mast have explained the matter to Generrl de la lite." I thought it my duty to testify to the Principal Secretary of SWe the regret I felt at seeing our nits enclosed in such narrow limits. "It is not," I laid to him, " leis than your promises, bat it is lees than my wishes and my hopes. Be sides, whatever name you give to the thing, the Important matter is, that it will have the effect of immediately stopping rigorous misuurss, and substituting friendly proceedings for them." This nu-Aster, in explaining to me in the most amicable tone that it would be impAsible for the British cabinet, after having token the advice of the advocate of the crown, and baying engaged itself in the commencement of execution, to blot out all that had been done, and to submit to the deeision of an arbitrator all ita dents, ;seemed to me in the non Impress manlier the assurance that orders had bees seat to Mr. Wyse and to Admiral Parker that there should be a cessation of the employment of new coercive measures. I insisted that the consequences of the intervention of our good offices should be set down in more precise terms. We agreed—l. That the communications between Athens and the different points of the Hellenic kingdom should be re established. 2. That the restrictions placed on commerce should be suppressed. 3. That the Worked° should be raised. 4. That the norduat ships should cir—a to be cap. tared. I asked, besides, the restitution of the venels already seized. Lord Pairarrston replied that he did not think that that was possible. I pressed him strongly. He neither said yes nor no. It is a point which has remained undecided, and to which I shall return, _ Before terminating this conversation, I took care to lay down clearly once more that the question of the two islands was adjourned.

Furnished with a oopy of the report of M. Thouvenel, dated the 22nd, which was subjoined to that despatch, I pre sented myself this morning at the house of Lord Palmer.ton. I had previously marked the passages whit% show the pru dent conduct of that agent, and which contredicts the cup ' position that he had sent for the ships of our squadron to eater into the port of the Piraeus. I read those extract , ' to the Minister by way of confidential information. That com munication appeared to make upon him a very favourable nape,. mien. • • • • • • • • You know the private instructions which hays been sent to Mr. Wyse is well as to Admiral Parker ; Lord Normanby ►as communicated them to you. You know that the admiral from the time when he shall have received them is ordered not to suspend the meaning which are already in the way of execution, but is to abstain from taking any &thee order, or from entering into a new category of coercive manures ; for instance, if he has commenced to make raptures, be may continue, but he will not establish a blockade, &c. In the intention of the British cabinet, the employment of these means will not be altogether suspended until our mediation shall have been effectively put in work; this, I have been informed, is conformable to all precedents. After a long discussion, in which 1 endeavoured to hasten and to extend the good offices of the French government, Lord Palmerston came to t►is conclusion : the cabinet of London will send to Admiral Parker the order to suspend all coercive measures, in order to leave the field free for mediation, se soon as the French government shall have made act of mediation. A term shall be fixed, beyond which England will ►seats the ezecution of messes of constraint, if good offices do not attain their end I observed to Lord Pal mentor that it is be himself who occasions delay, and not as, since he has net as yet sent the reply to my note. He made some excuse about the slowness inherent to the manner of proceeding at the Foreign.offlee ; he promised me that the reply should be remitted to me in a very short time ; end he added, by way of conmsaion, that the day on which he shoal& sign it, he would consider the m •diation as being commenced, and would give to the British agents at Athens the instruction► of which I have just spoken. That minister reminded me that he had been more rigorous at the time of our mediation relative to the affair of the sulphur of Sicily , since, on that occasion, the coercive measures were not to have been suspended until after the arrival of the nego tiator. He gave me little hope as to the immediate restitu tion of the captured ships.

The language which Lord Palmerston holds to you, the ',satinets whieh Lord Normanby has not owed to give me, do not oer tamly permit me to supple* that the cabinet of London thinks of drawing bark hem the determination which it had eed in this respect. If it were (otherwise. we should have the right of demanding that we should no longer be loft in uncertainty. In proposing our good offices to ter minate a quarrel, the prolongation of which Greece would not be the only one to regret, we thought we were acting in the interest of the British government as well as of the cabinet of Athens ; it appeand to se that at London we were understood in this seam. Once more, if they have @hemmed their opinion, which would cause us great :14 r• t , it would, without doubt, be worthy of the loyalty of the Bri CA government not to have us in ignorance, and restore us without delay our liberty of action; bat, I repeat, this supposition does not appear to me admissible.

What oblig e. us, Wen , to attack a real important* to 'o44 what does not permit us to oossider this incident as a question of pure formality, is the very . uarapected ex planation which Lord Polmerstora has glum you on the nature of the orders already sent to Yr.

London, Feb. 13, IMO. theaered,—l received yesterday evening, after the hour of the departhre of the poet, the reply of the British govern ment to the Rote which I addressed to it on the 701, pr.• peaks( to it the good offices of Franc., in order to 'stil e andeilbly the di ff erence which has sewn between the cabinet of Athens and that of Londm, relative to the losses 'offered kir British subjects in their person or in their p r perry, This reply, of which I have the honour of sending you turf with the copy and translation, reproduces the differcat points which had been discussed in my last oonversatioes with Lord Palmerston, and resumes the conclusions g b, e i t I had announced in my despatch of the day before yesterday No, 147. That minister, as I have already informed yo• persists in hie refusal to visitors previously the ships which have been seised ; he ground. himself on the preeedeat of the mediation concerning the sulphur of bioily, but he gun's us two important piinta. In the affair of the sulphy the good offices of France were not to pot a stop to the employment of means of rigour, but from the moment when the commandant of the British forces had been officially Informed that a French agent had opened the negutiation at Naples. In the actual case, the order to auspcnd r coercive measures will be immediately given to Admire! Parker. In 1840, repriaals were to resume their cow.. if within a delay of three weeks an arrangement had not bee n conatiaded. On this occasion the English eovernment do's not fiz a precise term, though it indicates the necessity of a prompt settlement. This concession seemed to me essential both for the bass and the form. To s assignment of so peremptory a delay would have hed, in my eyes, something hurtful to us. I had then insisted that the note should milts no mention of it, and that the number of days should not be counted for us. As I remarked on the part of Lord Palmerston a certain hesitation, sad as ne served to me that after tee first proceedings of her equadr3n England would render herself ridiculous it she awaited the dews:men! „during an indefinite period, I replied, that in this affair in using force as she had done Great Brasil should fear rather to appear violent than ridieedous. I then added, that there was a kind of ridiculousnese which I should never advise my government to subject itself to— that was, to assume, even for the I've of peace, the r4ie of a mediator, with conditions which would necessarily seine good offices to become powerless. You will remark, Gene ral, that Lord Palmerston had noticed these observations in his reply, which is moreover conceived in terms the must honourable for the government of the repuklic. M. de Brunow addressed on the 3rd of this month • note to Lord Palmerston, containing the resurne'of the conversation wh i ch he had hod on the same day with that minister relative to the late events at Athens. He there recalls to mind the kind of union which exists between the three power, the founders of the kingdom of Greece ; shows the right of each of them to protect that state against enterprises which might menace itS Independence, the integrity of its territory, or even only the collection of its public revenues affected to the payment of the loan ; ezposes the dangers to which the measures adopted by Admiral Perim might expose the throne of King Otho ; cites a peragreph of February 3,1834. stating that no troops belonging to either of the three con : trenting powers could enter in the Greek territory ; and calls I the serious consideration of the British cabinet to the re f sponsibility which it might run if it did not take into account these grave considerations. The Minister of ltussi. coetined , himself to this proeeedinn ; not having nets iyed, as he told me, any instructions in this affair, he wished to reserve for Ms court complete liberty of action. DAOI.:YN Pe Lac o;. Foreign-offins, Feb. 12, 18:41. Monsieur PA mbassadeur —1 had the honour of receiving the letter of your Excellency, dated the 7th of this month, by which you announce to me that the President of the le.nen Republic had learnt with great regret of the difference et tween the British government and that of Greece, sad the., desirous of contributing to the re-establishment of a rood understanding between the two states, le has authono your Excellency to propose to the British government, ie order to attain that result, the good offices of the French. government. I beg to announce, in return, to your Etcei• lency, that the government of her British Majesty consider. the communication which you have been charged to mike to it as a new proof of the friendly sentiment which has oo happily marked the relations between the two govern. meats; and as the government of her Majesty would with to obtain satisfaction from the Greek government throtut the friendly intervention of the French government rath,r than to owe it to the continuation of the emp:oyment of force, the government of her Majesty will accept es:a pleasure the good offices of the French government in ttta affair. In consequence the government of her Majesty. ti order to allow the field free for the diplomatic action o: 7"• negotiator whom the French government may employ tor:' end, will immediately send to the admiral commanding the squadron of her Majesty in the waters of Greece the or :er instantly to suspend all coercive measures, and to continas to suspend them during the negotiation which the Frez,l government is on the point of opening. But the govern. mint of her Majesty hopes that the French government wilt understand that her Majesty's government, not he.rg able to renounce the demand addressed by it to the Welt government to repair certrin losses which British lied lonian subjects have suffered, the su•penoion of the lIVOII of her Majesty's squadron cannot be pro:ooged beyond a limited and reasonable period, and that it must necessary r use if at the expiration of that period the points in dispute have not been settled in a suistactory manner. It follows also from that, that ell the ships, whether belonging to the Greek government or to Greek subjects, which shall have been seised by the squadron of her Ma. jesty by way of reprisals, at the epoch when the coercive action of her Majesty's squadron shall be sus• pended, shall remain as pled/es in dcosit until ►fter the conclusion of adr fiuitive arrangement. Oa a similar occs• sion, in 1840, when the British government accepted the good offices of the French government in order to put stop to the difference which had arisen between the British government and that of Naples, Sir Robert Stopford, ethr commanded at that time her Majesty's squadrcn in tte Mediterranean, received the order to suspend his .cis of re prisals from the moment he should be officially informed !, any French diplomatic 'tent that that agent was acturoy employed at Naples in a negotiation relative to the stfeir dispute. To spare time in the actual circumstance, and in oonsequence of the greater distance of Athens, her Msje•ty's government will give orders to Sir William Parker to s'of • pend reprisals as soon as he shall receivt instructions to is so. But it is evidently essential that a long interval ehouli not elapse bet seen the sispension of the action of the Idri3O squadron and the commencement of the diplomatic action of the French negotiator; and, in consequence, her Maiesty government hopes that the least delay possible will take place in putting the French negotiator into comma nication with the Greek government. Is order to lease the field as free as possible for the action or the French negotiator, her Majesty's minieter et Athens will receive orders not to mix himself up in the negotiation ot the Irenth agent, excepting within the limit when the azent may :e -mend his co-operation. Patuasoriix. (No. 18.) K. DRODYN DI L'EFTS TO TR! MINISTER OF FORMIN ♦FFAIRS._ London, February 22. IS P. Sir,—ln a conversation which I had this morning with Lord Palmerston on the subject of the affairs of iireece, I particularly confined myself to clearing up the following points: 1. The part which Mr. Wyse may take in the negotiation. 2. The nature of the questions which fall within the domain of the mediation, and which will be submitted to the examination of M. Oros. 3. The duration of the term beyond which th.e a tecition of coercive measures will be resumed, in the case where our ' good offices fail in their effect. 4. The character and the precise date of the orders nut lately to Admiral Parker convening the two islands. On the first point we are both agreed. I cited to :he first Secretary of State the very terms which I employed th say private letter of the 16th of this month, and in nil despatch of the 11th, to inform you of the in.tructiins which will be given, to Mr. Wyse. He echo mlegeei their perfect exacta:es. As to the second, that minister heal toil me, se I have had the honour of informing you, that the mediation will comprise the questions which do not implicate in principle the negation of the demands of the cabinet of London. Thus, it is laid down in principle that an indemnity is due to Mr. Finlay and M. Pacifica. remains to settle what shall be the amount of that indemnity. The minister cited to me. as precedents applicable to the ! actual case, what took place in regard to Waite and to Sicily. As to the duration of the mediation. the English government does not in grate, does not even demand, that sny precise term should be fixed. It trusts it entirely to the good iaith of the French ne• gotiator. It is, " said Lord Palmerston to me, when M. arose shall decl are to Mr Wyse that his good office. have not obtained, and have not even the chance of obtaining. a favourable fault, it is then only that Admiral Parker shell have again reoourse to coercive measures. But in cue of failure, he shall not require, in order to to that, to wait for fresh orders from the Admiralty. Besides Admiral Parker announccs by a letter of the diet of May, that he hes in his hands sufficient pledges, and that henoeforth he will meke no more captures. The instructions which ordered that admiral not to occupy the islands of Cen t and Sapients, were despatched on the 110, by nn extraordinary courier, and on the 16 by poet, hi duplicate. llnot to iii LIMY?.
