To the ELECTORS of COUNTY of IatICKINCITIAM. Gentlemen, THE Queen having confided to the Ea'l of Derby the duty of forming an administration, her Majesty has been graciously pleased to confer upon me the office of Chancel lor of the Exchequer. I resign, therefor e, into your hands the trust, which for 10 years, you have extended to me, as your member in the House of Com mons; but as you have thought fit on several occasions to renew that mark of approbation, I beg leave to announ: e that on the day of election I shall solicit the honour of being, for the ifth time, your representative in Parliament. The circumstances of the country are, in many respects, critical; and in none more so than in its external relations. Painul miscon ceptions have arisen with the Government of that faithful and powerful ally, who, in so many instances, has proved his good feel ing and fidelity to this country. Believing that a cordial alliance between England and France is equally conducive to the interests of both countries, I shall express my hope and conviction that by mea sures, at once firm and conciliatory, these causes of misunderstand ing may be speedily and entirely r,m - ved. "If the country will heartily support the Queen's Government at this conjuncture, a result s:) deslreable for the peace and progress of Europe will be greatly facilitated. Believe me, yours sineerelY, Grosvenor gate, Feb. 26, 1859. B. DISRAELI.

Shortly before the hour agreed upon it was reported to me that some ladders were being placed against-the wall to our left, and that the troops were mounting the wails, upon which I directed all to advance, and b , lfore 9 o'clock a.m. the greater part of the force was upon the walls ~f Canton, meeting but very slight resist, ante, except at the gateways. .

Within the city the attack appears to have been wholly unexpected, and but few of the enemy were found to oppose the number of the allies now crowded on the walls. I proceeded to the right, halting for a. moment at the East Gate to direct its being broken open by Lieut. Langley, of the Royal Engineers, an excellent young - officer, past the Five-stored Pagoda and Magazine Hill, when I observed the enemy making a rally at the North Gate, and advancing towards us. flame diatelv directed Commander Sligh., of 11,:ku, ship Sanspareil, whom I beg to recommend to your lordship's favourable notice, to form part of the Naval Brigade nearest to us, and charge down the hill, which was gallantly executed, and the enemy driven back. The enemy here showed . tt valour and determination which had it extended to the body of their troops, would have greatly in creased the cost at which Canton was taken. Brigadier Graham, with his gallant regiment; the b9tb, and 38th Madras Native Infantry, after a slight resistance, took the East Gate, and proceeded round the walls nearly to the South Gate of Canton old city wall. , Having now given the parti cu l ars o f th e move ments leading to the capture of the city, it becomes my pleasing duty to express the deep sense I feel of the cordial co-operation and assistance I have received from their Excellencies Rear-Admirals Sir M.

My Lord,—l have the honour to transmit, for Your lordship's information, a copy of a General Order issued on the 4th of January, and to inform you that, according to the arrangements therein made, the allied forces marched to the different points indicated at eight o'clock oa the morning of the sth inst. The whole of the arrangements were strictly carried out, and proved more successful than could poisibly have been anticipated. The French Naval Bligade, 250 strong, with one gun, entered the Yauiun, and secured the ~e rson of the Tartar General, where they were joined by Lieut.-Col. Rocker's battalion of Royal Nlarines a'id two howitzers. Lieut.-Col. Walsh's battalion of Royal 111arines, with two guns, under Col. Holloway, C. 8., forced their way into the Yamun of the Governor of Kwang Tung, and made him prisoner. Lieut.-Cul. Lemon's battalion of Royal Marines, with two guns, marched as directed, first to the temple in which it was supposed that Yeh was .ecreted, and afterwards, joined by 200 of Lieut.. Col. Walsh's battalion, to the treasury, and suc ceeded in capturing a quantity of treasurein silver. The principal event of the day, however, was accomplished by the Ritish Naval Brigade, 1.00 men of whom, under the command of Capt. Cooper Key, R.N., C. 8., were ordered by Commodore the Hun. C. Elliott, C. 8., to accompany Mr. Consul , P i o a fi r k e es s y a e n h cl , a ciu e himself to i w n h s o e s a ch o e i ab od f e t b h a e d H b i e g e h n C o obtainedm by Mr. Parkes, whose indefatigable exertions on all occasions merit the highest commendation. After a long and tiring search, which would'have proved useless, but for the intimate knowledge of the Chinese language displayed by Mr. Parkes, the High Commissioner was traced to a small Yamun, situated in the south-western extremity of the city which being broken into, Yeh himself was seized by Capt. Co .p ,r Key ; some difficully having occurred In identifying him, as several Chinese mardarins in turn declartd. themselves to be Yeh. After ~securing several boxes of valuable official papers, Yeh, the High Commissioner, the Governor of Twang Tuug, and the Tartar General, were marched up to head-quarters where the Comma derein-Chief decided that the High Commissioner should be sent-on board her Majesty's ship Inflexi ble, which was carried into effect on the same evening. To the brigadiers, naval officers, officers staff and regimental, 11011-00111111i831oned officers, soldiers and sailors, English and French, I can only return my thanks, and record my sense of their gallantry, zeal, and deiotion to their country's cause, and express my regret that they have not had an ene my to encounter more worthy of their martial ar dour. Where all have done their duty in thisshort, but, I trust, satisfactory campaign, it is difficult to name individuals. I muse, however, bring to your lordship's notice the officers commanding brigades, (Jul. Hope Graham, 59th Refit. ; Col. Holloway, R.M., A.D.C. to her Majesty ; Col.

L. I. Col. Graham specially notices his Brigade-Major, Major Luard, an officer whom I can also recom mend. Col.

Knox is the senior ; also of M,j r Schomberg, R. M. A. who commanded the mottar b:tttery in the Dutch Folly, and that indefatigable and talented young officer, Lieut. Festng, To Dr. G. )rdon, C. 8., principal medical oftlf.!-T, and the officers of the medical department, to Deputy-Commissary Geueral Power, and officers of the commissariat department, I have to return my thanks for their excellent arrangements from the date of landing to the present time, the latter officer Deputy-Commissary General Power havinghacivery many difficulties to overcome, which required au officer of his talent and experience to c )pe with. Of Captain Temple and the Land Trans port Corps, raised for the occasion by that talented officer, Colonel Wetheral), C. 8., and composed principally of Chinese, I cannot speak too highly, for they bad not only to afford assistance in carrying provisions and materials" of war for the small force from Hong Kong, but also for the Royal Marine, Naval Brigade, and our gallant allies ; their arduous duties were performed with the greatest cheerfulness. I take this opportunity of thanking the officers who did me the favour to accompany me on the 28th and 29th ult., foremost of whom I must name that old, distinguished, and sill energetic officer the Lieutenant-Governor of Hong Kong, Lieut.- Col. Caine, whose martial spirit could not be re st: ained when the scene of war was so near to his Government ; Mr. Locke, attached to the Etn ba-iq of the Right Hou. the Earl of Elgin; and Lieut. Cohn Campbell, R. N., attached to me as Naval Aide-de Camp, by Rear-Admiral Sir M. Seymour, a most prom.'sing officer.

The arrangements of Mr. Commissary of CY d wince Young, C. 8., and Mr. Thomson, of the Military Store Department, were most efficient. I have now to tender my thanks to the officers of the General and Personal Staff, whose particular duty it was to convey, and see ,carried out, my orders, and recommend them to your lordship's notice, viz., Lieut.-Col. the Hon.

That the diabolical plot against the life of the French Emperor is really viewed with as much br r ror in this country as in France itself must by this time have been made perfectly manifest to the whole French people. The speeches in both Houses of Par liament, the declarations of two successive Minis tries, the add , eases of public bodies, and the lan guage of public journals, must necessarily have placed the fact beyond reach of doubt. The only question between the two nations concerns the re spective deficiencies of their police institutions, and this question we are prepared very confidently to meet. That we have little reason indeed to shrink from the comparison we can soon prove to our readers on both sides of the Channel. There are two kinds of circumstances, and two only, through which it may be reasonably assumed that a ciimin;.lder,izzi euzll - t to br detected by the proper authorities. If warning is given and sus picion aroused, then incidents insignificant in them selves should lead to measures of prevention ; or, on the other hand, if any overt acts are committed, the cognisance they would provoke might conduce to the discovery of the whole scheme in contem plation. On neither of these points can anything be alleged against the English police. Thai the per sons engaged in this detestable plot had spent a certain number of months in England is perfectly true, but here they were not marked men or sus picious characters in any way. There was nothing about the names, or pursuits, or b-haviour of Or sini, or Pierri, or Rudio, or Gomez to put an Eng lish policeman on the alert, or to induce the least in, erierence with their movements or proceedings. As far as we know they conducted themselves peace ably and gave no more offence than any other of the thousand refugees enjoying the protection of these shores. One of the new M:ni,ters, Sir. J. Pakii,gtoe, took occasion to remark in his speech to his con,titu ents at Droitwich that, as he was informed, Pierri, duiiit his whole residence at armiughain, was "a quiet, inoffensive man." It is utterly out of the question that we should gratuitously fathom the depths of lanaticism or vindictiveness which may exist in the breast of a political exile. Had we been told beforehand that these four men were dangerous, that they were plotting murder, and that our utmost vigilance should be exerted in the way of prevention, the case would have been very different. As it was, we had no more reason for suspecting or interfering with these particular fugitives than we have for arresting any foreigner who happens to be making this kingdom his home. But there was the manufacture of the shells ? Thous was, and this, in its way, was undoubtedly an overt act These strange and deadly imple ments were fashioned by English hands ; but look at the facts of the case, and see what they arn,unt to. So apprehensive was Orsini of exciting the suspicions of our manufacturers in the matter, that he actually employed the agency of an Englishman in giving the order, lest his own instructions mi ht be refused. That a tradesman should take such an order so conveyed, and should execute it with out misgiving, is the most natural thing possible. Contrivances of this description have been among the commonest of all projects for the last six years. The actual improvements iu firearms set every man with a smatteriiig of science at work to improve them still more. Long-range shells, monster mor tars, invisible catama r an, an d fulminating com pounds of indescribable power were among the in ventions of every successive week. Our columns contained offers after offers from patriotic projec tors to b'ow up Croustadt, to annihilate Sebastopol, end to save the British Army and Navy all trouble in terminating the war. We are still at war, too, and six months ago the same kind of machinery might have bees devised against Canton, or Delhi, or Lucknow. There is probably not a manufac turer in Birmingham who has not been asked at some time or other to construct some extraordinary instrument, avowedly conceived for extraordinary purposes of of his destruction. ownconseien O ce rs , i h n a i, d except for the in alarms - venting any pretext or giving any false colour to his dealings in this respect. If he sent an older for a new and formidable grenade calculated to produce twice as much havoc as any grape, canister, or shrapnel shot, it would have been but a common place and everyday transaction in the eyes of the tradesman receiving it. So much for the English share in the business. We now beg to take the reader acro s the Chan nel and introduce him to the circumstances of the case as it actually stood over there. In France thrte out of the four prisoners were men marked for suspicion, and two of them had been under the bands of the French Rudio is the (silly one of whom it could not be said that he had, within the last few years, been in France nadrr unpleasant circumstances, and even he was a known political ex le and c - vnspirator—a character generally notable among the police of the Continent. Orsini, after an absolute blaze of notoriety, had ap • peered at Marseilles in 1855. Pierri, after living for years in three of the most considerable cities of France, became so distinct an otject of suspicion that he was expelled from the French territory in 1852. Gomez was brought to trial in a French court of justice in December, 1855, and locked up in a French prison till June, 1856. Every one of these three, therefore, was as soon as he stood upon French ground, a marked man t© begin with, in dependently of any fresh or special source of alarm, But this fresh alarm was positively given—given with gre a t c i rcums t ant i a lit y , an d as muc h as a fortnight b e f ore h an d . O n t h e fi rs t d a y o f the pre sent year information was despatched to the French authorities from Brussels that Pierri, attended by another conspirator, would be coming to Paris probably about the 9th of January, with the pur pose of assassinating the Emperor. Two days before the day fixed—that is to say, on the 7th of January—Pierri did, in accordance with the warn ing, leave Brussels fur Paris. At Lille he was joined by Gomez, and these two men, both of whom had be fore fallen under the hands of the police, and who must necessarily hare ben marked and known, did enter the French capital with their murderous pur pose on the day above mentioned. The very instant they arrived they joined Orsini, who had been there, shells and all, ever since the 12th of December ; and Ruclio presented himself on January the 10th. Here, then, were all the four conspirators under the eyes of the Parisian police four days be fore the attempt was hazarded, and 10 days after warning had been given. They were all in commu nication and correspondence together so overtly that the Procurenr-General on the trial scarcely thought that proof was wanting of their intimacy. On the Bth or 9th of January Orsini went to a gun smith in Paris and bought a revolver, and on the 12th, as it required a little alteration, he sent Gomez to fetch it, who appeared to the shopman to be in a great hurry and to exhibit considerable im patience. Compare all these facts with the utter absence of any suspicious circumstances over here, and then say in which of the two countries detec tion ought to have been effected. Again, with respect to the overt evidence pos sibly derivable from the sight of the shells. These implements were seen, handled, and criticised on :he other side of the Channel by witnesses of all descriptions. They were first taken into Bel gium. At the French frontier they were passed through the Custom-house as portions of a new gas apparatus, and pronounced to be of no dutiable value whatever, so little was there significant in their appearance. In France, at the hotel in Paris whtre Orsini first stopped, they were put into the hands of a wai'er, and regularly laid out on a sofa until Orsini came and put them away. Now, there wad no such excuse in France as there was in Birmingham. A man might very naturally go to one of our gunsmiths and get half-a dozen experimental shells made ; but it is quite a diffe rent thing to carry these machines from one ennotry to another. Fr m this ho' el, however, Orsini removod Icclz,l:T, ant here he proceeded to dry his fulminating powder, at the hourly risk o f bl ow i ng hi m self and th., whole house into the air. In this house, with his deadly machi nery about him, he resided 30 days Pierri, the ' outlawed refugee, and Gomez, 11. e convict —the very two men whose arrival and, designs had been notified to the French police—being in communi cation with him all the time after their arrival. If all this is not enough, we need only carry our readers to the scene and hour of the attempt Afi er living in Paris, unler the very noses of the Parisian police—Orsini for upwards of a month, Pierri and Gcmez for a week, and Rudio for four full days; after ca rr yin g th ese shells with scarce au attempt at concealment- from one place to another, the conspirators go out into the street upon their atrocious errand, and Pierri, the iden tical man who had been already expelled- from France, and o f w h ose preseit intent and cowing warning had b een g i ven a fornight ly-fore, pushes his way again an d aga i n i nto the ttnperor's private entrance at t h e oper a -house, and is only driven out by force afte r h e h as insulted and menaced one of the persons employed there. At last, at the hour, he certainly was arrested ; but it was then too late to prevent the catastrophe, and in a few minutes the explosion was heard. These are the simple facts o? . he case, and they can only be turned to the condemnation of our police institutions by the most fiagtant inversion of justice. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

(From a Supplement to the Gazette of last night.) WAR-OFFICE, PALL-MALL, MARCH S, 1858. The Secretary of State for War has this day re ceived Despatches, of which the following are copies, addressed to Lot d Panmure by Major-Gen. C. T.' Van Straubenzee, C. 8., commanding her Majesty's land forces iu China : Head Qulrters, Canton, Jan. 14, 1858. My Lord,—l had the honour by the , last mail briefly to report the capture of the city of Canton, I have now the honour t ) forward for your lordship's inforthation the par , iculare thereof. It having been decided by their Excellencies Rear-Admiral Sir Miehael Seymour, K. C. B. Rear- Admiral Ri gau lt d e G enou illy, a n d my se lf, thatthe attack should be made on the north-eastern part of the walls of the city of Canton, the forces for this attack were landed on the 28th December as nearly as possible in the order arranged in a memorandum forward d to your lordship by the last mail, and at the place agreed upon, in a creek opposite to the eastern end of Kuper Island, to which point I pro ceeded on the afternoon of, the 27th ult. On the 27th lilt. 1 directed a covering party of her Majesty's 50th Regt. to be landed at the point above named to protect the Royal Engineers, Volunteer Sapper Company, and working party of the Native Transport Corps, under Capt. -Mann,-of the Royal Engineers, whilst constructing jetties for landing troops and guns, making and widening roads across the low marshy paddy fields to the hard ground about 400 yards inland. These works were pro ceeded with most actively, and the amount of labour performed proved the zeal which had been - devoted to their accomplishment ; indeed, •I feel much indebted to Capt. Mann, R.E., Lieutenant Stewart, R.E., and all employed, for the evident interest taken in their task. The 59th covering party was under Major Burmester, commanding the 59th Regt., to whose admirable disposition of his force it was mainly owing that these works were continued uninterrnpt , dly during the greater part of the night. From the low state of the tide the landing could not be proceeded with as arranged, simultaneously with the opening of the bombardment at 6 a.m. on the 28th ult. ; but about 9 a.m. it was commence d, and vigorousy carried on under the superintend ence of Capt. Hall, C. 8., R.N., Commandant Ray naud, Captain° d-) Vaisseau, F.1.N., and Major the Hon. H. Clifford, Assistant Quartermaster- General, by whom the whole of the force and a large am 'tint of material, stores, &c., were lauded befo) e nightfall, reflecting the greatest credit upon the un tiring ext-rtions of these three officers. Great praise is also due to Capt. Temple, of the 12th Madras Native Infantry, a most zealous and active officer, for his arrangements in forwarding to the front the required ammunition, stores, &c., as soon as landed. By 10 o'clock a.m. the French force having di embarked were pushed on at my request to some rising ground about half a mile inland, placing a picket to protect their left on a point which com manded a view of the country to the river, and the village and ground to their front, their right flank resting on a hill above a paved cau4e way leading thron 4 h a village to the East Gate of Can ton. On the . French Brigade taking up this position a fire of jinzalls, matchlocks, and rockets was opened upon the brigade from the village in front and fr,:m groups of the enemy formed to its right. No other troops being yet available, I directed the portion of the Nth, under Major Burmester, to be advanced to the right of the French. The enemy still continuing troublesome, without doing much mischief, and the eagerness of our allies being diffi cult to restrain, their distinguished Commander in- Cbief ordered one battalion to advance and drive them from the heights and knolls in front, which was effected in gallant style. The whole of this part of the country was undulating, the higher ground covered with Chinese graves of ,a eirculir form, rendering it very difficult to cross the lower parts intersected by paddy fields, many of which were still under water. The remainder of the 59th having now reached the front, it was eoaployd in driving the enemy back on the right .of the French Brigade, and as the whole line approached nearer to Fort Lin, a smart fire was opened by some French howitzers, to keep down the fire of the fort, under cover of which the 59th Regiment moved up to a joss-house, within 300 yards of the fort, the French at the same time advancing to the hill in their front, the whole covered by the 4 2 5 howit zers of Capt. Knox's battery, which was fired with great effect. The fort being thus partially sur rounded, the enemy were discovered to be evacuat ing it, by our allies, who melted on and °couple I it, followed by the 59th Regiment. As there was no prospect of being in a position to escalade the walls of the city on that day, owing to the great difficulty and labour required in get ting up artillery, ammunition, &c., I decided upon bivouacking upon the ground we then occupied, the 59th Regiment in rear and under cover of Fort Lin, against the right flank of which the enemy were making good practice with their guns from the walls of the city ; the French Naval Brigade to our left having an advanced picket in a most favourable position in a joss -house to their front, from which the direct road to the East Gate was commanded. Lout.-Colonel LYEGIOLI'S battalion of Royal Marines :o the right on a range of hill fronting the north-north-w st, and on I , s right two divisions of the British Naval B, iga le, under the c unman(' of Comm , d 're the lion. C. Elliot, C. 8., who afterwards move 1 one division to tbe front, under the co imai d of the lion. Capt. Coctq.ane, C. 8., to a mist admirably selected and strong position. My object iu this disposition of the force being to induce a belief on the part of the enemy that it was my intention to advance towards Fort Gr•Jugh, in which feint I was fortunate enough to succeed. The 3d Division of the British Naval Brigade, under Capt. Key, C. 8., R.N., was placed in rear and to the right of the joss-house occupied during the night by the allied commanders, with one bat talion of Col. Holloway's brigade on t:seir left, the other battalion of the colonel's brigade being 1-4 t at the landing-place to protect stores, dr.c., and keep open our communication. The artillery were partly in position in front of Fort Lin, the remainder on the ground b elow the tot t, prepared for an onward move at daylight. The ladders were also brought to the fort. In the course of the afternoon the enemy appeared frequently in considerable force on our front and right. From the former they were as often driven by our rockets and artillery fire, from the later by the dashing onslaughts of the British Naval Brigade. Up to this time some few of each for,:e were wounded, and one officer . Lieut. }locket, of the 59th Regiment, Aide-de-Camp to Col. Graham, whflet carrying an order, was barbarously murdered by some Chinese, who had concealed themselves in a grave, two of whom were shot and one captured and hang. By daylight on the 29th ult., the largejoss-house, which had been held on the previous thy in great force by the enemy, was occupied without a strug gle by a portion of the Naval Brigade, under the orders of those dis*inguished officers, Sir R. Mac lure, R.N., and Capt. Osborn, C. 8., supported by a battalion of Royal Marines, under the command of that old and deserving officer, Lieut.-Col. Le mon. I directed Col. Graham to send the 59th Regiment, under cover of houses to our left, as near as practicable to the walls, there to extend and keep down the fire from the openings in the castel lated parapet of the walls ; the Rifle Company of the 38th Madras Native Infantry to extend on the right of the 59ch Regiment, which was performed by both parties to my entire satisfaction. The artillery I directed to advance across the plain to the high ground, as near as possible to the wall, with a view to breaching the light parapet of it, should it be deemed necessary. The Admiral and I myself having agreed the previous night that the bombardment of the eastern line of wall should continue until nine a.m., so as to afford ample time to get up ladders, artillery, &c., this was effected with more despatch than I bad thought possible, owing to the great exertions of all concerned, par ticularly of the officers and men of the Royal and Royal Marine Artillery, whose energy and zeal were worthy of high commendation. The inter mediate time was employed in more closely re connoi' ering the wall. Two guns of Major Bar stow's battery were brought close to the ditch, and together with some of Lieut.-Col. Lemon's batta lion of royal marines did effective service in keeping down a smart fire from the walls, by whiob, how ever, I grieve to say, the force lost on e of its bright est ornaments. Capt. Bate, of her Majesty's ship Actaeon, who had advanced to the ed g e of the ditch or ravine with °Apt. Mann, RE., to examine more closely theheight of the walls, was mortally wounded, a nd expired before be could be re moved to the rea r. The enemy now perceiving, I presume, that our object was not to attack Fort Gough, descended in large numbers, and compelled lily sending out some c::m:anies of Lent.-Col. Lemon's battalion to keep them back and protect our tight, nrd Afterwards to direct Lieut.-Col. Waleh'e battalion ol< (,) V VlO.. 44
