Oa the motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, this hill was read a Mir 1 time and poles% AFFAIRS OF GREECE. Lord STANLEY : My lords, I know not whether, at the moment at which I rise to address your lordships upon the most important question which I hare given notice of bring ing under your consittermioe, the anticipations which the Doti, marquis (Lansdowne) entertained some eight or ten days ago have been realised or sot; that at this moment to. unhappy differences which hays pre- veiled between her Majesty's government and that of Frame* have heel bringht to an anicabl- conclusion; or whether points of &inane will rennin unsettled; but I am sure I speak sincerely when I say, if they do so remain unsettled, I hops and trust they are about to be broagb: to a speedy sad satis factory conclusion. Bat in any ene, whether those anted pati ens have bees realised or sot, I foil toothiest that the noble =argyle wilt ant think that • 'foie-rent cause for pressing upon me (as undoubtedly I shall sot feel it a ref anent cause for seceding to the request) a further post ponement of 'his discussion. Nay, my lords, I may Iss permitted to doubt whether the postponement whisk tau already taken place may not rather have had the West Sf! retard=: than palerstine a final settlement rat this ques tion, which evety one most most eagerly desire, with a view to the great interests of the whole world, and to the maintenance of the good staderstauding between the French government and the OOVIIIMPOOIIt of England. In truth, im portant as those circumstances are, vially important as thing ant be which touches the amicable relations and cor dial good understanding between two notions so powerful and intimately c monied as England end Franey. yet I feel this question. great aid important m it ts, is tans an loci dental, sad m it were a ruppl =rotary, pen of the great glace tin which I am desirous of bringiag under your lotdenips' mensidirratim—so mach so that I most beg you to remember that n do pressing events are apt to thrust out of view those kleh have prec,.:ed th m. I must remind your lordship thot bs fore any intimation of the good offices and mediation of Fusee were mode, I had stated an intention of calling your lordship.' emir. to the pr - tvedines of the British go vernment and the British minister wi-h reward is Greece ; and that that separate and distinct motion was only post ret the request of the noble marquis, founded on that e s iention which it was then hoped would les t to • speedy and amicable settlement of these matters; end which now, unfortunately, happens to hay. lad only to fresh and increas ing complications (Haar, hear.) It is far from my wish to drag your lordships throach the weary waste cf men which now lie oa your lordship' table, or to give your lordships one-twentieth part of the labour which I have undergone in sifting and examising its substantial write of ;Ms pm. My lords, I can only say. that I have risen from the perusal of those poen with regret and shame for the part w itch my conatry has taken. I have risen from them, net nub the emanation with what little wining. the affairs of this world en altninistered, but rather with what a prodigality of 1011y...WW1 what • lavish expen diture of misdirected ingenuity, uaaremary conio!iicseions have inn acenssolatcd—unneemeary dialeulties t.ays been renal—and reed s is themselves elevated late matters of im portance, and the Minn of the world literally not permitted to adjust and regulate themselves. (Hear, ben.) Beloee 1 proceed to address your lordships on the spec de question before you, I may by permitted to call your attention to the preliminary portion of the resolution which I am about to submit; Munn I un 'irs.snd that to the wording of the preliminary part cat the resolution some excep tion has been taken. That to which I am prima rily desirous of calling your lordships' attineion, is not whether the misunderstanding which prevailed between France and England vie a inisiendirseanding in which the one country ac the other hg. been in fault Pence. I am not about to gall your attention to the question wh.ther the peaces of Europe is lik,ly to be disturbed—whether the present arrange ments an likely to he amicably eoncluded—tee they so or not, it will mono ao differ-nee in of-rence to my resolution, Means my affirmation is this, that the comma the govern ment have pursued by its villence—by its unnecessary in terference—by its abstinence with communication with other powers—by its intrinsic injustice, has been calculated, and has cadangerni, the entinusses of our friendly rela tion with other powers That It has endangered them few of your lordships will be inclined to deny; that we my neap* design may be probable, and that we have escaped, God gnat it may be true. I hope rather than trust that those events will leave nothing bebiad, or any ill-feel ing either between Estland and France or any other of the great powers of the continent. Hot that is not the question to decal-. I ask your lordships to den lie whether the course pursued by the government has been such as not rashly ar.d unneciesuily to disturb that harmony which ought to prevail between all those great powers. I ask you my lord% to state whether, among the claims urged against the weak end Miele anti of Greece, and enforced by the naval might ref thi. peat empire, there are not some which are either doubtial in point of justice, er exaggerated in amount. I will ask you tartar, on • review of the whole con, spondenee, portions of which I shall lay before your lordships, whether these claims, it founded la the strictest jut i at, have nut been pressed forward in such • manner es to render their indignant refusal by a great rata about a matter of necessary conclusion; and although I am far from standing here to apologies for the tonnes and preemies. dons which is some of them mantle:ens have characterised the Greek government, I say those prevarications and ex. taus found coma palliation in the tone, the imperious tone with which claims, if they bad been just. but still more claims which are not just, ban been forced upon the coot , pulsory adoption of that power. I am sure that I am representing the English feeling, and the feel ing wrack is animating your lordships, when I say that, whatever may be the question pending between Independent nation whatever cause of complaint one country may have sgui nst another—the tons and Ma nage in which such coasplaiutshould ice urged—the manner in which molests for reparation or for apology should be made, shout t at all events be the same whether addressed to the strongest used most powerful or to the weakest and most in-le:decant state. (Hear, hear.) Igo further, and soy that it is consistent with the generosity of English feeling that the more your sense of right gives to your request the character of a demand, the more you should be careful to veil under the studied language of courtesy your demand, whatever it may be ; and to avoid by the manner of your request wounding that national sensihility which will always be found in an inverse proportion to the resisting power of the country. (Hoar, beer.) I shall ask you, my lads, whether this has been the course pursued towards the Greek go vernment. I now wish to call to your lordships' notice the preliminary part of my resolution in which I call upon you " fatly to recognise the right and duty of the government to assure to her Majesty's subjects residing in foreign states the full protection of the laws of their states." In hung down that proposition, I believe I hive correctly laid down the international law. (Hear, hear.) I now pray your lordship not to enter on the consideration of this great subject without duly weighing the political condition of the hingdons of Greece, and what is the sole organisation of that country ; that Greece Is a kingdom of not more than 14 or 15 years' standing—that it is a constitutional kingdom of much shorter duration—that although it is theoretically an independent country, yet that it is partly by treaty, and circumstances which have ocearnd imbseepent to the treaty, placed under the joint protectice of three of the most powerful coonskin in the world—Easland, Frame, and Russia—and that Mom omen- Mks hays jointly teed the independence of Green. Unfortunately , th is i s the sole claim which they have on Greece In oddities to their guarantee of its independence, they ban all of them contracted pecuniary liabilities and momenta% which gin to CI throe of them a right, most dangerous if exercwd, of istermeeldlini and interfering with the interest aisnaistration of lb. kingdom. But, more over, nothing can be more untarnrmbl, to the fair and im partial discomion of thin questions which from time to time must arise between sent • government and the subjects of other pewees (Rears heart Now, my lords, it is notorious that since the period when these papers commenced, since the administrating of M.

Had • similar case occurred in England, had such a demand been made, and couched In such terse, by any ambassador at this court, would not that arbeesidor have roe/lived his passports in less than 411 hours from making such a demand? (Hear, hear.) He had been told that, since this question arose, within the last three wet he in tad, mast conveniently and moat fortunately, an application had been mode to the Foreign-office he the Austrian government, in respect of a brig of that country which vim wrecked rid plundered on the coat of Irelar.d.

But he should like to see the correspondence, to know whether the demand was arid. and needed to as a matter of right. (ilea?, hest.) When the application was made, it would be seen at once by her AN eety's govern ment that the case bore directly on the questi in at true in Greece ; it was of COWS* a proper thing to be acceded to; and the few hundred pounds bestowed in compensating the crew and officers of the Austrian vessel would be well laid out, her Majesty's government bring thereby enabled to refer to so important ► primerlent.

(Ileac, hear.) Another case was this : on a festival day at Pates., some Imam.. had dis played a number of fl cgs, Greek, English, and others, frnin a Cali, and had humg them as ornaments over their shops. There was 113/09 little exci:ement in the place at the tine, and as an exenttion was to take place on that very ep d the next day, the pith. had ordtn not to permit anything which was calculated to attract a crowd, or tombs.. a breach of the peace. They therefore ennimimcrd taking down the fi in, the lonians resisted, and they were thereupon marched ,ff to the rutin- iffice. Oa tot it arrival there, it was found to be a trifling infraction of the police low, and they were at once dismimed, without the ittlictdin of any penalty. The noble marquis opp 'site (Linsdowne), when this can was formerly under di-cuuion, had talked of it as a ease of torture, and of the applicatim of the thumlascrew, thereby conveying the notion•. that the men were crippled for Ile. It turned out that the only application of the thumb-nerew was this:—Tae two lonises were it mud together by the vitiate and the thumbs, end is 9000 ns they arrived at the police office they were liberated. Then muse a Img con. respondence abut " the Bri i.h fleg being t rn dowo, and trampled uod•r foot." The vice-consul wrote to the consul, the coma I. the minister, and the minister went to Id Go leta with this wonderful story, and urged it as ► prof of the despotic tyranny then exercised by the Greek govern ment. This was the language he used The consequenem of the Greek government baring shielded the ponce odScera who tortured the lonian Sumach' at Patras last year are becocal ig ear etri us that I feel it ti be my duty to cad yoar attention to two circumstances which Mire lately °muerte'. one at Parse anti the other at ryrgos. Mr. Wood, her Maj. MP , Consul for the Mores, reports that on tic 30th ultimo, an I inian 3C Patrol, who, secording to 3 suet obeeryed on the lonian I-lards on .MI .Y-int.' Day, hied appended some English, lonian, and Graek Moto to an awning before his coffee-shop, wa- wrested by tee police-officers, who tore down the gage in a very dowespectful manner, and put hand cuffs and thumbscrews on him and on one of his emu:anions, amd aiter parading them threugh the n üblie strecte in that atate going out of tuelr way to eas so, lodged them in wool. Mr. Wood, on bearing of these preoevhnsa, hunt no time in putting himself in cammunwatioa with the acting Nomarch, M. Itondopulto, who de nied that the hags had been treated woh indignity, lied justified the pitioe °dicers on the. ground that the lonia.. had excited the 'ample, and created a tumult; but when the lonians were brought before the Procure's: du Itoi oaths bellowing morning, there was so 4:vidonte to rubstantiate thaw serious charge., and they were rile toed on an un derstwidi- g that they were liable to be brought before a magistrate on some future day, for the minor offence of Infraction of the plies regulations, which. It is alleged, forbid the display er dogs. At Pyre. two lonises have addremed a memorial to the British vim-consul at that place, complaints; of having been arrested and carried before the sub.Miranh, who orbit/wily tamed them to be twin d. These eiz. eumstaaceo nod the g corral biotin of the Mirareh Patty, and of the chief of police Striftombolos, have so alarmed the lonians, that 40 of them hare addrsened a petition to her Majesty's *maul praying fur protection. The tact war, the police had gives the lonians previous offence by hot permitting them to sloop outside their houses, , which they did to avoid the heat and the fleas. (Laughter.) Two of these highly respectable merchants, accordiog to their own sta.ement, were found in the market-place, marched off by the authorities, and colifitied is a private room. Tne statement of the grievance was first mode by the vice-consul, a remarkably quiet man. (Linghter ) The eonsul, also a quiet man, tell him he ought first to have examined the lonians. They did not appear to give evi dence; and the consul wrote to Lard Palmerstoo, saying it would be bettor not to press the case further. There had been no inquiry into tie facts, only a petition from the parties aggrieved; yet them ware the instructions lent oat by the government of this country : freesias-orrice, July 19, 1847.—11er Majesty's government have had under their consideration your dernatch of the lath ultimo, con taining an acomint of two cases, in which lonian subjects have been maltrnatel by the authorities M Patriot and Pyrgos • and I have to inform you that the conduct of the Owen authorities towards there aa set forth in your despatch, appears to her Majesty's =et to have been cruel and oppreadve. I have, therefore, to you to demand from the Greek government, for each of the lonians who have been maltreated, the NAM of twenty pounds, as some compensation tor the unmerited ill:treatment which they have undergone. - - - - ihus, if the British flag was insulted, the Secretary of State did nut think it necessary to interfere or ask fir reps,- ratim ; but, if • ship's crew was plundered, it was imme diately made a question of money. " Put them down in the bill (said the noble lord) at 201, a piece." (Laughter.) It was difficult to speak seri ously on such subjects, and equally difficult to con trol indignation at seeing the peace of Europe im aerated on such pain pretexts. Tne Secretary of State for Foreign Affair, appeared to be of the same way of thinking with that gentleman who, having thrown a waster out of the window at an election, when an explanation was asked tor, coolly acid "Oh, put him down in the bill." (Laughter.) Here Lord Palmenton put down 201. (or one man and 201. for another, thinking, when he presented his bill at last to King Otho, to show him that it was no light matter to insult a British subject. But war it sight in a time of profound peace, to go and de mand full reparation for all our claims, just or unjust, and some of them without investigation? But thole were not all. There were two others ; one of them was the case of a highly respectable gentleman, a cannie Scot, of the name of noisy, a gentleman with all the national perseverance, one who liked to make a good hargsin, and who knew when he made it—(Laughter) ; a gentleman who was strongly im bued with the wisdom of the preveilieg sentiment, of buy ing in the cheapest and selling in the dearest market. (Laughter.) This month man, having been long domiciled at Athens, theught fit at the time of the revolution to.buy an estate of certain Turkish proprietor. ; his speculation was not • very extensive one ; tur at animated that the subject of these thins en years' negotiations, and the fifty pages of despatch. a on their lordehise taole was the price of • ld containing two-thirds of an acre, which this gentleman had bought for either 300 or 000 draehmas—about 101. or 201. Thii land was required during the time of the despotic ghvernment for the purpose of the royal gardens; and there was no question whatever that the gentleman was entitled to compensation. The par- ties were negotiating when an ordinance passed, fixing the value of the whole property to be taken at about 41d. the square yard. Some were dissatisfied, demanded more, and obtained I-; others did not. A great variety et e eet mepjaa. tions paned between the two governments, in the whole of whids the British minister seemed to have done nothing but perform the part of the twopenny postman, by merely trans mi tine the letters. Mr. Finley's demand was about 1,6001., for that which had cost him 101. or 201. Such was the state of Minya when the late proceedings had taken place at Athens, and our Seat had appeared there to de mand reparation. In pegs .00 of the last communications laid on their lordships' table, by commend of her Majesty, aid by the order of the Secretary of State, was this letter from Mr Wyee : Amass, Murat 20,1819.-1 am still wlthout any answer from the Oro* government to my sole of the Pad of July, emneeting the un- appear to render them most worthy of British prearotiou,hest or all do they appear to be persons for this sake of the utahater mom of wham rights England, and pleiss_pe Deropi, should be plaided in war.

(Chests) H a ving dealt with this cap, he would now proceed with thos which - were made the subject of correspondence and complaint ; and he w cold commence with that which appeared to be the most carious, because it was the only one at national interest, and in which we national honour was concerned, and with regard to which reparation ought to have been de mewled, and promptly and immediately enforced. He alluded to the outrage offered to a boat's crew of her Ma. j cry's e'tip Spitfire. lei the commencement of the year 1848 I the province ..f Ore. SS opposite to tie 1013111 Islands, waste &stet-, as it frequently bad been before, of disturbance, of • revolutionary character. A short time before the period et which the *yenta ensure( to which he was shout to refit, her Majesty', ship Spitfire, in pursuinte of the benevolent policy which had influenced her Majesty's government tnrowebout the Mediterranean, bad galled at the port of Patna and rec teed on b end a notorious rebel against the Greek government who had been protected seder the Bri tish filo. A short time after the Spitfire sena appeared on the coast of P , and in the course of the evening of the day on whielt she arriad—thiere be tog strict orders that no boat should land except at a recognised landing plan—a boat from this vessel leaded at • remote place in tee fame eV its seienhourhted of the house from . blab this reb.l kad b a startled off. The attention of the guard was called to the fact—two p-rsons left the Aar, one with • lan ten, the other without one, and one on them ran away. The guard took possession of the boat with the formidable force of three Greek soldiers, a proof th it no great violence could have been used, far if it had bees attempted upon a boase mamma with a porti . a o f a nun-of-war's crew, and they had only been armed wieh their Nue and etrtechers, the enact/uncles west heed been serious. Tel found a midshipman in the bout. but not in uniform ; the crew wen taken before the authorities, and suns party speakieg no Ore-k and the other nothing but Greek, some time elapse.% before they were relessod, but the moment it was ascertained that they were • British crew, the chief officer himself, who had them in charge, saw them down to the boat and relented them. Toe following morn. big C tpt Le Hardy, of the Fenton', di minded r. ',nation for the insult. that had been offered, and also reparation for th' robbery of the boat's gear, for it appear. d that in push. leg off the hoar, • boat-hook fell overboard and wan lost. (A laugh.) The party appeared before the Nomarch the nut morning, and the matter was placed in the bawls of the Proeureur du lin, who requested the attendance of :he officer and boat's crew, but the Fantome sailed on the evening of the day after the charge had been made. That was evidently •matter of very easy explanation ; but the following day, the annul, not being sari fi.d, a further cor respondence took place, which was all communicated to the minister at Aquas. Together with that correspondence there was a letter from Lieut. Macdonald, of the Spitfire, a ratleman who wrote very much in character with the name which his vessel bore. (Lauehter.) H. said— The governor of this town hr taken upon himself not only to dis play • hostile feeling towerda the British 'government, but alko to permit • trait najtiediabie outer, to be committed on an officer and boat's aew of her Majesty's sloop Fantome, and whin ratiefuition tar that insult ems desaantkdof tem in my presence byeaptaln Le Hardy of that ship, be declined, in the most positiee manner, to give anti*. factory answer, or to cause reparation to be made by the parties g u ilty of that outrag e.

I have further to request that you will be rod enough distinctly to state to the governor that I have represented to my own government thin state of affair., the more experall when I bear in mind the abominable falsehoods eireteated by his authority, and terouelt a letter to your sett reusing the officers and men of thin ship of landing strangers tender cover of the night.

Thus, a boat landed in the dark at a prohibited place ; the officer wee arrested; but the moment be was discovered to be a British officer, he was released; the mistake bad eel dent', been made between the two ships, both lying off the port; and thereupon came the officer of the Spitfire, with his **sib ,minable falsehoods," his "violations of all interna tional law ;" and thee. ;nista were officially transmitted by the authority of her Mei. sty'e government as a serious eatse of international quarrel. How did the minister of Greece answer? He said be was extras. ly sorry for the affair—he was sorry to see such fustian evidently existing ie the mind of a British effieer, and &Tired that he hod no unfriendly feelings towards any one in the service. He added —"I send you all the papers I lave received bearing es the muter; if you are not satisfied with them I will make further iequi.ia; bat I geed these to show you that we have received a different account from yours," There the correspondence cio.ed ; and although the affront had bets offered of 'nail's to accept the declaration of two officers as proof of a setter of feet, ft was somewhat singular that though the e instil and the minister were I xeeedingly active from first to last, there was an demand for en paration or se tiefectios on the part nth. Secretary of State for Foreign Affair', and the whole matter rested from 1848 down to 1840, when this and other claims were revived. (Hear, hear.)

It might be sail there war del on the part of the aibi trators, that this was not a con tusion; bat what hat the Fneign-olfin to say for themselves that, with these papen in their gnawed°n they should allow the country to believe that the art sat isfied claim of Mr. Finlay war one ground of the armed interferenci of the British fleet ? There was one cam more, and of such • character that he scarcely knew how to describe it; it was inch a combination of all that was mean and ridiculous, that he was ashamed to bring it before the noose; the only wonder was, that the government had not been ashamed of it. (Hear. hear.) Before going into it, be must be per- mittid to advert to a cireneartines which had occurred many years ago. In 1817 an English vessel (we did not witch the name) Captain Nesbit, had been fnrced by stress of weather to put into • port on the coast of Portugal ; to de 'ray theorist of her repair, she had to be sold, and the sale produced a surplus of 8001 ; the master, not being disposed to bring over hard dollars. thought himself exceedingly fortu nate in getting a bill for the amount un the Navy Board. On arriving is this country it was discovered that the name of the acceptor of the bill was a forgery; after a considerable lapis of time, the individual who had given the captain the 'ill wee met with in this country; be was brought before a coin, but, to prevent further proceedings, paid this whole amount. It was a singular coincidence that this individual happened to be identical in name and in nationality with Mr. David Pacifico, upon whose honour and declarations of honour their lordships were now caled upon to rely. It might be that another person of that name wee at that time redi lent at the same place, and, by a still more extra ordinary coincidence had been mistaken for this individual; hut, subject to any egplanrion that might be given, he had thought it necessary, as introductory to the case of Paeifico, to mention that of the British brig, Capt. Nesbit. It was the custom it appeared in Greece, on E aster Sunday, toburn the effigy of Judas Iscariot. On this particular Easter Sunday, 1818, Baron It ithschild happened to be in Athens, and it was thought by the authorities that it would be de sirable, in deference to his religious (ruling., to soaps nd the ceremony, Ile did not object to this instance of conoidera. tion on the part of the authorities fir Baron Rothschild; bat, unfortunately, it now appeared that this tranaacti..n was traceable to uim, for had he not beta in Athens it would sot have occurred. An impression pot abroad among the common people that Pac.fico had applied to the church. wardens, and hid procured the exemption of Judas from kis impending fate. (Laughter.) Thereupon, toe mob made certainly a most disgraceful attack upon his house; they destroyed everything in it. and carried away all they could lay their hands on. Thry had caused very serious injury to the house. and very serious alarm to himself and family. Lookiog at the papers, it did not appear that any great activity . had been manifested by the Greek police, either in pu tang a stop to the riot itself, or is apprehending and i lentifying the offenders; so that Pacifico had a fair and just ground far compensation from the Greek eovernment. But his bill of costs was one which really passed crud, nee. In one of the papers before their lordships he co nplained that the govern ment of Portugal not having acceded to his reasonable de mands, he had token left in poverty and indiginec. in the papers last presented, there was also a statement of his being sushi. to redeem • small amount of plate which he had pledged and lett iii Portugal; therefore it followed that he must have been in • state of great destitution. That plate was deposited fur 301., and wee der sited for the purpose of obtaining from the bank a sum of money at a low rote of interest, which M. Pecifico was in the habit of lending out at a high rate of interest to the indigent citirns of Athens, and thereby turning an honest penny by burrowed capital. Now, then, being prepared with a view of M. Pacifico'. means, they would be able to appreciate the demands which he made as compens ition for the 1.41 of the furniture of his house. M. Pacifico told them that the destruction of his furniture was a lois to him of 4.9181., and that his &aims on Portugal were 26,0001. N.,w,with regard to the furniture. he really did not wish to go into details under peewit ciretnstancts. Cert dry, there was the meet elahorole and precise account of the f f einiture is M. Pae (leo . " house that be ever reed is an upholsteree's list. It was a very coricus thing that the meth el:a:Toyed the whole of this furniture Fo Ammo, and eopp, r twice pans, sod kitchen utensi.s, and every other utered, Were all d stroyed But they left a list, • very precise detail of the • .loe of each artic , e of furniture so destroyed. All the copper saucepan., .kientaing IseLes. pudding diehes, everything war ei.ntained in thee Ise, which alro cont.ine ti • statement of how many coats, trowsers, soil stockings Mo Pacifico had, and how many gowns ant petticoats Mrs. Pacifico ea-f. Tne list entaineel all these precise details; aid the mob not only left this list but left one sheet of the bed, by whicu he was en. aided to show how very hoe the other" were. Here er As this J err usurer, upon borrowed capitol—why his house was furnisued as if he had at hie command the slam of the ri .g and tle• genii of the lamp. Tl•ere never was anything to equal the magnificence nt M. Pacifico'. furniture. Tien wee one coach valued at 1701 (Lau/liter ) Wey this was an official docu ment. Om large couch in solid mahogany, British work, with finable bottom, one of which in Inuien cane tor sum mer. 701. ; one bo:tom for the winter, real gold, r yal work, 2.51. ; two pillows end cushion, in silk and wool covering, embroidered an real gold, as the bottom of the &Love couce, 751.; making 1701. ter one couch. (Laughter.) Thm the teed was described as being in solid mahogany, with four pillars, richly carved, two yards and three quarters keg and two yards and a quitter wide, with the back and the end carved, 1501. (Laughter.) He would not go Nether into detail. All he would venture to say was, that every utensil in the bedroom, every one of them, was compote el of the finest porcelain. (Laughter.) This was the great bill of onsts sent by M. Peicati,As to the British government ; and in addition to that there wes the demand for certain Portu guese claims which were mails to amount to the sum of 21,0001 , and with interest to 26,0001., for wid.b, unfortu nately, all vouchers, all papers, were it stroyed. What were those vouchers fort Why they contained some tepre mutation of services rendered. Tuis prezioue docu ment was • protest of Pacifico, sent in the year 1847 to the Portuguese government. But the Portuguese government entirely repudiated every one of these claims and declared that they did not owe hint a shil ling, and wouid not pay him a ebillling. The m,b de stroyed this document, but M. Pacifico pm in a claim fcr 21,0001., with 5,0001. interest, at 8 or 10 pie cent. for two veers, molting the whole amount 26,0001.; and thin claim the British minister at Athens set his hand and seal to as being just and moderate. When this chins was first admitted Lord Palmerston direcled Sir Edmund Lyons to state to her Majesty's government as soon as possible the amount of the demands tor the oulferino sus mined by M. Pacifier), and directed Sir E Imund Lyons to support M. Pamlico it he thought the complaint just and min dente. Sir Edmund Lyon, said he thought the chilli was just and moderate; the demand was sent in, end it was not till the month of February that they boon to entertain a suspicion that there had hemn a ma little exaggeration with regard to the other claim.. But in pursuance at that instruction from Lunt Pei mentors, Sir Edmund Lyons made a demand on tee part of England on the Ore ek government, for the payment of M Pacifico . ' claim, without the slightest intima ton of any deductions from those claims. ?thy, more, he begged t net his, because he knew it might be said that we were not bound by the full amount of M. retitle's'. chum ; then he said it was a great pity that we did not state what was the amount we would take. He thought it a a treat pity, if we were willing to take 4,0011, that we did not state as much. But observe, when the demand wits made by our ambas.ador at Athens, in the month of Feb., 1860, that all claims sent in should besatiefied within a period of 24 hours, surely that was the time to state we and not intend to press this claim on Portugal, but that we only asked for a reasonable sum for the others. It was riot till the 16th of February, ISM, that, for the brat time after the French intervention had been accepied, le.rd Palmerston Mtim tied to Mr. Wyse that it was possible some proposition might be made to dimireith the gross amount of M. Pacifico's claim; and in that case Mr. Wree was not to consider himself precluded by his former inotruc dune from taking • stn Iler amount. Now, then, it was in support of this claim, or rather in support of these claims, it was in support of the ersggcratsd pretension. of M. Pecifico that a British fleet bad been sent to capture the vessels of a friendly power, to demand compliance with that unrea sonable request within 24 hours, and in c se of retied to visit that refusal not on the government hat ern the people. M. London, the Greek minister, only entered the adminis tration on the 25th December, 1849, and it was on the 17th 01 January, just three weeks afterwards, that this demand, the particulars of which spread over a period of seven years, was made.

A more becoming protest from a feeble nation against the encroschments of a mighty, end as it was thought a friendly power, he never read in hie life. If any doubt were entertained with regard to M. Pac.fico's full demand being embodied as a porion of that which was required to be paid, he thought at would b• put to rest by a despatch tram Mr. Wyse, in which he steed the result and the pro geese of the embargo and seizure.

The eisiireive measneen detailed In my former despatches am eon. tinued, and now extended with tom sad staingeney to every em. portent Greek port; tars, Speashe, Patram, and with it the whole of the Gulf of Lepanto, the Pincus, and now Hydra, ere closely watched by her Majesty's steam -re.sels, and no Greek wears allowed to deiset.

Therefore with forty-one vessels in his pone si_n, of which seven were worth 14.11001., he had ant at that moment suffi cient to satiety the whole of the claims which he was ordend to eaten -, wh , ezeluding M. Pacabco's claim, the clnime did not ameunt to 2,0001 , and the whole amount of Pin lien', claim, accerdiug to his own showine. excludiog those in Portugel, did not amount to 7,0001. And yet the whole of these forty-one neon' were nut sufficient to meet the di mac& lie asked could languor. go further, could proof be more c tinplete, that at that element it was untleroo that the sin e+, of the demand should he en'orced 1 [The Marquis of L•oisuowsz here mode en inaudible observation.] tie should be end to hear tee noble marquis's observation. He had now retained their lordsbips so long upen this, the origin and important part of the ease, that he must pees rapidly over the remainder. B. fore he left this part of the quevi in, let him do justice to the offic re. Ile was bound to say thet he could not find that either Mr. Wyse, or Sir William Parker, or any of the I offie re, appeared to have in the eighteet degree overstepped the letter of their iastructi hue. On the contrary, tot, had exert i•ed their psioful teak with temper and with modem non, eed to was sure be was only doing justice to every officer when he said they would rather have been engaged in the deadlieet coofliet with the meet dangerous enemy this country ever had than that they should be seizing the yea a, Is of uneffending rot raison, and robbing wreicee 1 pauper fishermen. (Cheers.) Then what effect were there ungen• v. ked reps calculated to have upon our foreign reletions ? He adieu their lordships if they had seen the papers nn the Wale of the house relating to ten part of the subject? Bina Drunow, the minister to the court of Russia, without any iestrucelens from his court, called upon the Secretary of State fur Foreign Affairs for the rurpose of asking for an explanation. N ow, it wee tic true that that despatch was eh( tly followed by en ether, in which the Emperor, with a degree of modere nen, I r which he gave him credit, upon hearino that the friendly offices of France hal been accepted, stated that " as the interest of toe Greeks outweighs every other psrsanal consideraiian we will not insist on the want et courtesy, of which we intended toe implain, and we do no: intend to be admitted after the time into • mediation already entered upon, and which perhaix at this moment *ill hen produt ed • taveurable result for (i.eece. If the good latices of France can operate efficaciously in favour of Rut goy eminent of King 0 hien, and coati into,: to lighten the weight of the pecuniary claims made against hint, we are ready to congratulate ourselves the ,eon most sincererly." Lord Palmerston had given them the correspondence, but &rejoinder was sent fr. m St. Petersburg, and why bad they it not? Was it not clear that inn, set of perfect amity, there was a jealousy, he had almost arid, • feeling of hostility in the mind of Rossi& against England, which might nut break out on the pr. snit occasion, but which might be attended with alarming consequenne in future ? Did they know nothing of the el:entice' of the 'tows of other countries towards this country, produced by their exaggerated demands ? II ed they no communications from Ruesie—had they none from Austria ? We had but one friend in Europe. We were on terms of cordial amity with France. Did that amity now exist ? Had no feeling of hostitity with. France out of that transaction ? lie was as tenable as any min of the vale of friendly relations with France. He trusted be had not said a ward which, in can the nt emits:ion was not brought to a close, ehouli interfere with as amicable settlement, and nothing would give him more setisosetion than te learn that exp'seations had removed oil causes of miseperehension. F took a most friendly part. When intormtvion of the state of hostile ies reached her else made no angry remonstrance, but ft .nkly and fairly offered him good offices to mediate. And that offer was accepted, but in a manner and under a condition which did not promise well far ultimate noose. Lewd Palmerston wrote to Mr. Wyse, but though in pos. session of the official information, took no notice of the °Mr having been made and gave no instructions to suspend coercive measures; and these coercive !cession were conti nued fur ten or eleven days after, though a strike of L tad Palmerstou's pen woe' I have put an end to them by accept ing the good offices of France. Well, the good offices of France were accepted, but on a very narrow boun dary, because the principle of the demands was insisted upon and the amount only questioned. A convention, how. ever, was agreed upon. Eyrythiog was settled. M. Pecifin was to receive 180,000 drachmas to settle his claim, and on Mr. Wy se saying that he could not toter home for further instructions, Baron Gros said he must write for farther instructions himself, and, in the meantime, consider the negotiation suspended. Now, with regard to this pen of the question, there appeared to have been a misunder standing, because it wee clearly the understanding of the French monist. r and government that if there was a dif ference of opinion the aloft quo was to he maintained. The day after the cessation of mediation on the part of M. Oros, M. Ova received from General Lehitte, io Pars, intelligence that such a convention had been entered into, and he wrote in haute to Mr. Wyse, informiug him that he must refer home for further instruction, end must, therefore, retract his note, and call ing on Mr. Wyse for God's sake to take no further nee until he TeCci,Cri the corresponding instructions tram his government. Mr. Wyee's answer was that he had received n such instructions from his government, that ho could not be bound by M. Gros' irstructions, and that he could not forego coercive measures. Now he (Lord Stanley) wanted to know why those instructions had not been sent out. Tho instructions were agreed to on the 9th, and yet on this important international question, having come to a determination' of arrangement with the French govern ment for the time Lord Palmerston did not think it worth his while to seed out before the 17th. General ',Aloe re ceived intimation of this correspondence on the 9th, and found no difficulty in ending from Paris en the 10:b. But Lord Pelmersion, although he himself arranged the terms of the convention in Loneon on the 9th, did not send until the 17th, giving as his excuse that he was not aware there wan a packet going to sail. But the noble lord went further, and s aid that even if he had sent out sooner, it would have been of nn avail, as the mitchief wee then done. Thus, solely because H. Grog could not reconcile it to his soul and con- science to demand the deposit of 180,000 drachmas for M. l'Acilico, the negotiation wu suspended, and force had re cour4e to, which unfortunate results might have been avoided it Lord relmerston had only sent • special messenger in time. The terms of the convention were, that if any other arrangement should be come to in the meantime, that in that else, be it nrre or lets adventageous, the convention of London was to beset aside, and the arrangement come to to be adopted. Then Lord Prlnierston raid that another settler ent had been made byYcommunicationa between the °reek and British ministers, and that the result was the renewal of action by the British squadron. What wuuld h►ve been more natural titan to lade said that that other arrangement bad not been acted upon, and that it was still open to her Majesty's goserninint to act upon the convention ? He must say that by refusing to swept that convention at the last moment, her Manesty's government were Wiling with the government of a moots friendly power. (H. ar, hear.) It was said that the arrangement rapecting M. Nellie° was less favourable to (Uwe than the' convention of London proposed. But Lord Palmerston had no power to 141Cer , -lill the actual amount of loss auttained ; and this was the more im port►nt point, because it wee the very point en which L'rd l'almenton said that even if Mr. Wyse had received instruc lions he add not have given way respecting it.

And now as to th e e h e O,' - „ - " , it an 4 question upon which France and Russia hu• t b atlas and indisputable right to be consulted and to ict srier, a dent action.
