The Queen having been graciously pleased, by a War rant under her Royal Sign Manual bearing date the 13th of December, 1858, to declare that Non-Military Persons who, as Volunteers, have borne arms against the Muti neers, both at Lucknow and elsewhere, during the late operations in India, shall be considered as eligible to re ceive the decoration of the Victoria Cross, subject to the rules and ordinances already made and ordained for the government thereof, provided that it be established in any case that the person was serving under the orders of a General or other Officer in Command of Troops in the Field, when he performed the Act of Bravery for which it is proposed to confer the decoration :—Her Majesty has accordingly been pleased to signify Her intention to confer this high distinction on the undermentioned Gentlemen, whose claims to the same have been submitted for her Majesty's approval, on account of Acts of Bravery per formed by them in India, as recorded against their names, viz.: _ _ Mr. Thomas Henry Kavanagh, Assistant-Commissioner in Oude—On the Bth of November, 1857, Mr. Kavanagh, then serving under the orders of Lieutenant-General Sir James Outram, in Lucknow, volunteered on the dangerous duty of proceeding through the city to the camp of the Commander-in-Chief, for the purpose of guiding the re lieving force to the beleaguered garrison of the residency— a task which he performed with chivalrous gallantry and devotion. Mr. Ross Lewis Mangles, of the Bengal Civil Service, Assistant Magistrate at Patna—Mr. Mangles volunteered and served with the force, consisting of detachments of her Ma jesty's 10th and 37th Regiments, and some native troops, de spatched to the relief of Arrah, in July, 1857, under the com mand of Capt. Dunbar, of the 10th Regiment. The force fell into an ambuscade on the night of the 29th of July, 1857, and, during the retreat on the next morning, Mr. Mangles, with signal gallantry and generous self-devotion, and not withstanding that he had himself been previously wounded, carried for several miles, out of action, a wounded soldier of her Majesty's 37th Regiment, after binding up his wounds under a murderous fire, which killed or wounded almost the whole detachment; and he bore him in safety to the boats.

COUNTRY MARIBM LIVERPOOL-JuLT 8• - - - - The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise since Tuesday have been insignificant. From foreign ports we have received 6,953 quarters of wheat, 975 quarters of beans, and 7,421 sacks and 118 barrels of flour. The exports, in the same time, comprise 632 quarters of oats, 921 quarters of Indian corn, 376 loads oatmeal, and 261 sacks flour. With con tinued fine weather and dull reports :cora the London and counter markets we have had a very quiet trade during the past two days, and with news of an armistice hat ing been concluded between France and Austria doubtless prices w ill bare to undergo a further decline before buyers come in. This morning we had only a small attendance of the trade at our corn exchange. The business passing was limited for wheat and flour, at a decline of 3d to 4d per cental on the former and is per sk. on the latter article. Oats and oatmeal a slow sale, without alteration in value. Barley, beans, and peas rather easier to buy. Indian corn in limited request, at Tuesday's rates. WAKEFIELD-JULY 8.

ITALIAN AFFAIRS. Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE said that he had been prepared to redeem the pledge which he gave when he announced his intention to bring under their lordships' de liberation the correspondence with reference to the affairs of Italy so graciously presented to both houses of Parliament by her Majesty's command at the beginning of this session. He was aware that he had undertaken a very considerable, not to say arduous, task. He was also aware that there were objections to the course which he intended to adopt ; but upon the whole he thought there were countervailing advantages, and he made up his mind to incur some risk, not doubting that their lordships' discretion and judgment would counteract any tendency towards error on his part, and that on the whole advantage would arise.from discussion of points connected with this correspondence. It had appeared to him that the opinion of independent members of the Legislature, unfettered by any party, thus going forth to the country, would have had a very salutary effect in the event of the re newal of the negotiation. But an event of great importance had come to the knowledge of the public that morning, an event which would have at once the salutary effect of arrest ing that awful effusion of blood which must be so deeply de - plored by every person in this country, and he hoped also on the Contin,ent—(hear)—and which ho prayed might be fol.— lowed by the conclusion of a peace. Under these circum stances it was plain that the public discussion of this cor respondence might lead to an expression of opinions which would be inconvenient at the present moment. (Hear, hear.) He had had the opportunity of ascertaining that several friends of his, in whose opinion he had great confidence , viewed the matter in the same light, and would willingly find that he had taken the part of abandoning the motion for the present. (Hear, hear.) In using the term "aban doning," he did not mean to give up the motion absolutely. He should leave it for the present on their lordships' table, reserving to himself the right of recurring to it at a later period if the circumstances of Europe should lead him to think it would be advisable to do so. It was proper that he should state that the responsibility of this motion, if he had persevered with it, was entirely his own. It was not the result of any concert with the parties on either side of the house. Indeed he was not sorry to have the occasion of stating that he had no distinct con nexion with any party. No man was more deeply pene trated w ith a sense of the high abilities for government and the personal qualifications of his noble friend opposite, and of many of those by whom he was supported, but his duty was to give way to no personal feelings, but to form a fair and equitable judgment of what was best for the public advantage. He recognised in the noble lords and the right hon. gentlemen who now directed the Government a com bination of talents and administrative ability which was well calculated at this time to command the confidence of the country. He recognised in them an Administration which was in harmony with the constitutional requirements of the representative House of Commons, and •one which would, after all, move in the same line of foreign policy, according to their own language, as their predecessors, and the members of which on the great internal question of Reform had entitled themselves to the credit of more con sistency, though he might be allowed to say their claim was not entirely perfect in that respect. He earnestly hoped that if negotiations for peace were to be the result of the existing armistice the Government would be found at their posts, and would claim their right to be associated in these negotiations. The interests of the country and of the world required it. Looking equally to the treaties which had been placed in such great jeopardy by recent occurrences, to the position of Austria as an integral portion of the ba lance of power, or to the condition of the great Mediterra nean peninsula which had at all times been the seat of a gloilous civilisation, and which commanded from the people in this country, especially on account of their education, a large amount of gratitude and respect, there was every rea son for earnestly hoping that the Government would take their proper position in the negotiations to provide for the great interests which had been so nearly compromised. He abstained purposely . from any observations which would lead to any discussion, or might seem to be an attack on those who had been concerned in the conduct of the late negotiations, either in this country or out of it. No doubt there would be no difficulty in finding in those negotiations matter for censure, and there were many things in them which caused anxiety or even apprehension ; but he had made it a rule to himself not to touch on any topic of that description. He could not forget the circumstances which preceded and accompanied the treaties of 1815, to which, notwithstanding their errors and their deficiencies, was mainly to be attributed the maintenance of peace for 45 years. Although on more than one occasion they had suf fered some injury—in the case of Belgium, where, however, the alteration was by common consent—in the case of an excluded dynasty—in the case of Poland and Cracow—by the hand of tyrants—(hear, hear)—after all they had not yet been cast aside. They were still subjects of appeal from every country ; they were the title-deeds of many extensive territorial possessions ; they were, in fact, the title-deeds to which Sardinia still held Genoa, as well as those by which the incumbency of Austria upon Italy was established. They were still entitled to our respect, inasmuch as they were the safeguards of those achievements in civilisation which were the rewards for all that Europe had suffered in the early part of this century ; they made the abolition of the slave trade part and parcel of the great European law, and consecrated the waters of the world, whether flowing through separate States or extending in boundless seas, to the uses of an unfettered and almost unquestioned naviga tion. (Hear, hear.) He hoped that the present armistice might lead to the commencement of negotiations, and that the Government would feel how much our character de pended on our taking a proper place at them. Lord BROUGHAM —I put it to the noble lord whether he is not doing the very thing which we all wish to avoid — (laughter)—and the fear of which has induced him to with draw his motion. (Hear, hear.) Let the truce extend from the north of Italy to this house, and let us abstain altogether, for some weeks at least, from touching on the question of Foreign policy. (Hear, hear.) Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE was extremely sorry that anything had fallen from him which should have induced his noble and learned friend to stop him, but he was at a loss to know what it was. [Lord Brougham—You are leading to a debate.] That certainly was not his inten tion, but if a debate did follow, the noble lord might take his part in it, and add one more to the number of time dis pip of eloquence to which they had so often listened with dehght. He believed that he had accomplished the tempo rary object he had in drawing their lordships' attention to these treaties, and expressing a hope that England would take her place in the negotiations at the proper time, but nothing was further from his intention than to say any thing which might in the slightest degree embarrass her Majesty's Government. He thought he had abstained from saying anything which might call forth the opinion of others with respect to the line which the Government might take in the negotiations. He had only, therefore to thank their lordships for the kind attention with which they had heard him, and to remind them that in with drawing his motion he reserved to himself the right of re newing it at any future time. (Hear, hear.) The Marquis of NORMANBY (who spoke with his back to the gallery) was understood to say that, whenever the motion was brought again before the house, he should state the reasons why he regretted that the conduct of these negotiations should be placed in the hands of the noble lord at the head of the Government. He should watch with scrupulous anxiety the line which that noble lord would take in these negotiations. He for one declined to give any pledge against speaking on any subject connected with our foreign policy when the motion came again before their lordships. (Hear, hear.) He rather hoped than trusted that the armistice would lead to something, and the circum stances which had come to our knowledge within the last few days as to a certain circular issued by the Foreign Minister of France induced him to think that it would be very necessary, whoever conducted the Government of this country, to watch the terms which might be pro- - posed. It would seem, from the fact of no official com munication having passed betweed the French and the English Governments on the subject, that the French Go vernment, at this moment were confident that, whatever terms they might propose would be readily adopted by the English Government. Earl GRANVILLE—On the part of her Majesty's Go vernment, and I may almost venture to say on the part of the whole house, I beg to thank my noble friend behind me fbr the course he has taken in withdrawing the motion which he had placed on your lordships' table. (Hear.) Even before the intelligence we received this day, I certainly had mis givings as to the propriety of discussing that motion at pre sent. At the same time I perfectly admit that, when a noble lord like my noble friend behind me, one of the most emi nent diplomatists of this country and of Europe, sees that his place in this assembly gives him an opportunity of speak ing upon a most important question bearing upon foreign affairs, he may feel it both his wish and his duty to express himself. Whatever may be thought of the intelligence we have received this day, there cannot be the slightest doubt that though that message does not give conclusive proof that the that the blessed consumm ation of arrivedpeace a w ee i a ll r be ce, a h t a t, yet it does give us this ve r y satisfactory assurance, two Emperors of France and Austria feel the necessity of endeavouring to come to some arrangements which will prevent a further effusion of blood. (Hear, hear.) lam per fectly sure that your lordships would deprecate any act on our part, or any word from our lips which would in the slightest degree do mischief in l the present mntcoirsct thoroughly s l o y f the case— (hear , h ear) —and concur in, and at th e same time offer my thanks to the noble lord for the course which he has taken. I think your lord ships will feel that I am justified in not follow ing the noble lord throughout the speech which he has made, not only because in my opinion it would be indiscreet in the present crisis for any individual member of the house to dis cuss this subject, but because it would be an ab solute dereliction of duty on the part of any members of her Majesty's Government, as faithful ser vants of her Majesty and of her Crown, to take part in a discussion which could have no good effect, and which, I a m quite sure, might create difficulties abroad, and place ourselves in a disadvantageous position when the time game for exercising that influence which I trust will be exercised in settling this great question in the most advantageous wanner . (Cheers.) Their lordships then adjourned at 20 minutes to six o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS. _(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Col. KINGSCOTE took the oaths and his seat on his election for West Gloucester, vacant by his appointmen to the Royal Household. PRIVATE BUSINESS. heading an d H at fi e ld The Lords' amendments to the following bills were con sidered, and' the bills were ordered for. third reading : Great North of Scotland. Railway; London and North- Road; Kingston-upon-Thames Oils; Western Railway (Edgeb.ill to Gariton) ; North-Ettsteru Railway (Nidd Valley Branch) ; and Ringwood, Christ church, and Bournemouth. ROMAN CATHOLICS OF NORTHUMBERLAND. Mr. HUTT:presented a petition frOm a body'of Roman Catholic kertilbmen, comprising nearly all the Roman Ca tholic landed proprietors of Northumberland, that Roman Catholic - i3harities,mayi no' longer be exempted from the jmisdiction., : of thq:Cha,rityCommissioners ; but that under certain arrangements, they ,may be made subject to the pro visions of the tUt 16 and 17 Victotia, chapter 1 37. BRIBERY AT NORWICH. Mr. BRIGHT presented a petition from the corporation of Norwich, setting forth thit bribery had been extensively practised at the late election for, that borough, that money was raised by influential persons in London, and forwarded to Norwich for that purpose, and that money was alsol raised in Norwich, and prayed for a speedy and impartia investigation into all the circumstances, and for the intro duction of a measure into Parliament for the more effectual suppression of corruption at elections. The hon. member stated that if the inquiry on the petition previously pre sented with reference to the election at Norwich was not " searching and impartial," he weuld hold himself at liberty to bring the subject forward again, and he added, three-fourths of the corporation were present when the pe tition was agreed to. OATHS OF CATHOLIC MEMBERS. Mr. MAGUIItE asked whether it was intended by Government to introduce any ;measure for the repeal or mo dification of the oaths now taken by Catholic members ; and if so, when they would be prepared to lay such measure on the table P J. D. FITZGERALD said it was not the inten- tion of the 'Government to introduce any measure on the subject at present, because by reference to what had oc curred in previous sessions, it was not likely that it would be carried at present. It was intended, however, in the next session to bring in a bill for the modification of the oath. LANDLORDS AND TENANTS IN IRELAND. In reply to Mr. BRADY, Mr. J. D. FITZGERALD said the Government would not introduce any bill during the present session for the alteration of the statutes which regulate the relations be tween landlords and tenants in Ireland, in consequence of the session being so far advanced. However, during the recess, the Irish Government would devote their attention to the subject, and he hoped they would be able to bring forward a bill .or bills that would satisfactorily settle the question. COASTING TRADE IN AMERICA. Mr. D. SEYMOUR asked the Vice-President of the Board'of Trade whether the American Government regard the trade by sea between New York and California as a coasting trade, when the goods are unshipped at Aspinwall and carried across the Isthmus of Panama to be re-shipped for California; and, if so, whether it is proposed by her Majesty's Government to address any remonstrance upon. the subject to the Government at Washington; and also whether another vessel had not been recently seized by. the American Government? Mr; WILSON said, with regard to the latter question, it was unfortunately true that such seizure had taken place. A British vessel had been seized by the American Govern ment for carrying a cargo of guano, which was decided to be an infringement of the law. An understanding had been come to between the Governments of this countryand the United States when the question was arranged, and it was decided that British ship s i n A mer i ca s h ou ld enjoy the same privileges as were conferred on American vessels in England, with the exception of the coasting trade. That latter question was one of very extensive signification in the United States, but they were in communication with the Government of that country on the subject, which he hoped would lead to a satisfactory termination of the mat ter in dispute. FINANCIAL STATEMENT. In reply to an Hon. Member, ----- - The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the time when he should make his financial statement must in a great measure depend on hon. members themselves. It was the practice to postpone the financial statement until the army and navy estimates were agreed to, which would necessarily be delayed if hon. members pressed forward their motions. He would suggest that these mo tions should be postponed until the estimates were granted, and then hon. members would have sufficieut time to bring them forward. ROMAN CATHOLIC CHARITIES. ' Mr. KINNAIRD asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department on what plea the Government had post poned the introduction of a bill (promised so far back as 1853), to place Roman Catholic charities under the super intendence of the Charity Commissioners, from whose con trol they are now especially exempt ; and what course they proposed to adopt regarding'them. Sir G. C. LEWIS said he could not state what led to the postponement alluded to, but the present Government had the question under consideration, with a view to re medy the defect complained of. PACKET CONTRACTS. Mr. HOARE said he intended to have asked the Chan cellor of the Exchequer if it was the intention of Government to grant any fresh packet contracts for the conveyance of mails beyond the United Kingdom previous to the report of the committee to be moved for this evening, but after the statement of the right hon. gentleman he thought it was unnecessary to do so. MR. HENRY T. WRENFORDSLEY. Mr. MAGUIRE moved for a copy of a memorial pre sented to the Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury by Henry T. Wrenfordsley, of Upper Mount-street, in the City of Dublin, on the 18th of June, 1859. THE ARMISTICE. In reply to Mr. WALPOLE, Lord J. RUSSELL said that he believed the announce ment of the armistice between France and Austria, which appeared in the Moniteur, was official. THE BALLOT. Mr. H. BERKELEY said that he would depart from his usual course of bringing forward the question of the ballot, hs soon after the appointment of a new Government as possible, but, at the same time, he did not wish to be misunderstood Though he would postpone the question for the present, he would bring it on again next session, and never cease to agitate it so long as he had strength. SCOTCH EPISCOPAL COMMUNION. Mr. A. STEUART called the attention of the house to facilities by which a clergyman of the Scotch Episcopal communion may by a private bill obtain admission into the Church of England, even though he may have countenanced what have been condemned by his own Church as danger ous error; and asked the First Lord of the Treasury whe ther he considered a remedy should be devised, either by a public enactment or regulations regarding privats bills of so unusual nature. _ . . Lord VALMERSTON said that he agreed with the hon. member that a formal bill was not the mode of dealing with a subject like the present, but he thought when the bill was brought forward would be the proper time to dis cuss the matter. ECCLESIASTICAL AND CHURCH ESTATES COMMISSIONS. Mr. Alderman COPELAND moved for a return of all monies paid by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, or the Church Estates Commissioners, during the years 1855,1856, 1857, and 1858, out of funds administered by them to soli citors, surveyors, and other officers, specifying the names and particulars of each transaction (in continuation of Par liamentary paper, No. 292, of session 1855). —Agreed to. DESPATCH TO THE PRUSSIAN GOVERNMENT. Mr. S. FITZGERALD, pursuant to notice, rose to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he would lay upon the table of the house a copy of a despatch stated to have been addressed to the Prussian Government, or her Majesty's Minister at Berlin, conveying the views of her Majesty's Government as to the course which that Power ought to pursue with reference to the war now raging in the north of Italy. The hon. gentleman said,—Before I ex plain the grounds upon which, in my opinion, this docu ment may fairly, and with advantage to the public service, be laid upon the table, I hope the house will permit me to make a short explanation which is, I think, rendered neces sary by the somewhat abrupt contradiction which was given the other day by the right hon. Secretary for India (Sir C. Wood) to a statement which I then made. (Hear.) I then asked whether there would be any objection to lay upon the table a communication made on behalf of her Majesty's Government, giving advice to the Courts of Germany as to the course they should pursue with reference to the war now raging in Italy. I referred to this communication as one which I might fairly impute to the Government upon the authority of the right hon. Secretary of State for India; but that right hon. gentleman with, I think, more vivacity than courtesy, at once exclaimed " I never said anything of the kind.' Now, of course, lam bound to accept the disclaimer of the right hon. gentleman • but I deem it due to myself that I should state the grounds upon which,.as I think fairly and justly, I was led to attribute that statement to the right hon. gentleman. On referring to the report of ' the right hon. gentleman's speech to his constituents at Halifax, I find these words attributed to him : • " We have seen recent accounts that in a large portion of Germany a strong spirit prevails by which' they, seem dis posed almost to engage in hostilities. I hope and trust that their own good sense, aided by the advice which we have given them since we came to power, will induee them to abstain'from hostilities." -(Hete, hear,) The right hon, baronet further said : "I believe that in the endeavour to keep Germany out of the war we shall be consulting the best interests of the country." Even if this were all, I should be entitled to attribute to the right hon. gentleman the announcement that advice had been given by her Majesty's Government as to the course which should be pursued by the German Powers with re gard to the war in Italy. I find, however, that the right hon. gentleman's speech has apparently led not only me, but others, into error, for that speech was thus com mented 1 upon in the leading article of the limes : . " We learn from Sir C. Wood that our Foreign the same ad has not been idle, and Prussia is subjected . to . monitions, expostulations, and warning which so signally failed e e gentleman does not na_emt Lord eesvi te M a dhu r ytnh iot witha h n rspet: l ‘ hfsrhardef u r Ylsr acted e r te to France, Austria, and Sardinia." fa n for As f th ar e m spe l ec w h as of es t u li c e eru ri e t th h e on ca . the notice of my noble friend, Lord M I rightt l ono thoughtgf refe- rence to i i t t i his i s duty another place, make w s h o e m r e e observationsheb expound mi g this officious giving of advice should Our posiGovernment of impose ' un tio n n ee o e f aa n a e ry utral reapo ity na — . answer to the observations of this country.

Now, with reference to the question I wish to pu t to the noble lord the Secre tary for Foreign Affairs, I beg to assure him that my ex perience' of the department over which he presides is far too recent to permit me to press him to produce any papers which he may think it desirable for the public interest to withhold ; b u t I mus t say , a t the same tame, that I think the paper to which I reter does not come within that cate gory. Ido not ask for a portion of any correspondence, or for anything having reference to pensling negotiations, but We have had a circular from the Government of Russia ex-, ~ pressing their views with regard to the present pacific!' of GesTmag—we WI) had a circular addressed to the venous French Ministers by M. Walewski—and•lthinlithis country, nnsl Parliament should be in possessidn of the most authen tic,records of the opinions of our own Government upon the. same subject. I think it is not only desirable that we should be ih possession' of the views of her Majesty's Government upon this sub, eet, but that it is also very necessary that this house should 'know the language in which these views have been exPresWed. It hiair be that that language is judicious ; it may be that it iA conciliatory ; it may be that it is all this house 'could deire ; but, on tho other hand, it may be such as is caldulated: to irritate and to wound the sus ceptibilities of those to whom it is addressed. How ever guarded statesmen may be, in writing their despatches, . it is not always that a public Man is 'successful in attaining ' the object he has in view. A very remarkable instance of this occurs to my mind, because, on a foriner occasion, when the noble lord (Lord J. Russell) held 'the seals of the Foreign-office, he addressed a very important despatch to the. Court of Russia. The laudable Object of that despatch no one doubted'. but, laudable as was its object, it only paved the w a y for the outbreak of hostilities, and en couraged the Emperor of Russia in the pursuit of those designs and the adoption of those measures which afterwards - rendered a war between this country and Russiainevitable. It is therefore desirable that we should knout not only " what the policy Of the Government is, but what are the ' exact terms and phrases in which they have conveyed th a t policy to foreign Governments. If, under present cir cumstances, and especially after the news which has just been received, the noble lord thinks it better that the despatch should not now be produced, I will say nothing further: But I shall now conclude with asking whether there is any objection to lay on the table the despatch alluded to by the right hon. member for Halifax on the oc sion to which I have referred ? (Hear, hear.) Sir C. WOOD (who was indistinctly heard) was under stood to say,— Sir, I may be permitted, before the noble lord rises, to offer a few words in explanation of what I did say at Halifax, and of why I made the answer that I did yesterday to which the • hon. gentleman has adverted. I understood the hon. member yesterday to ask for the pro duction of a despatch which I had stated had been addressed to the different Courts of Germany, urging on them an adhe rence , to a course of firm neutrality in the present war ; and in reference to that assertion, speaking perhaps with a little warmth; I remarked that I had said nothing of that kind. What occurred at • Halifax was this !—Many persons there were very much interested in the trade of the Continent, and,' apprehending that their business would be entirely stopped by the war they expressed great, alarm at a report which they h f ad heard that Prussia was on the point" an active part in the struggle. On the ofO taking tlierhamita large nuMber . of people werealse apprehensivii,: , leSt the preparations going on in 'this country should rendek the maintenance of our neutrality much' mere difficult. In" the first place, I told 'them that the preaent Gcivernment were not more likely than the last to abandon the policy of neutrality, and I assured them that the naval and military preparations which had been for some time in progress were not intended, as I believed, by the late Government, and certainly not intended by the present Government, in any way as a departure from that policy. But I added that events might happen elsewhere, for example in Germany, by which, if the war extended, this country might possibly become involved ; and that out of consideration for our own interests, and even for our own obligations, we might be ' called upon to interfere. I further said, I hoped and trusted that this would not be the case—that the statement that Prussia was on the point of taking an active part in the war was unfounded—that that was a course which I thought a regard for her own interests should induce Prussia not • to pursue, and that we had also given our advice to that effect. Not that we had advised Germany that she ought to remain neutral. That would, perhaps, have been going further than we had a right to do ; but that, looking to the interest which this country felt in the question, she was justified in urging Prussia not to take an immediate and active part in the war now raging in Italy. . . Mr. SEYMO UR FITZGERALD—I certainly never used in relation to this despath the words which the right hon. gentleman has described. I spoke of it merely as a communication on the part of her Majesty's Government giving advice to Prussia as to the course to be pursued wiih reference to theiwar. OUTRAGES IN MEXICO. Mr. SCHNEIDER wished, before the noble lord the Foreign Secretary rose, to call attention to the present state of Mexico, especially with reference to the outrages which have been committed on British subjects. The hon. mem ber mentioned several cases of gross outrage upon the lives and property of British residents in Mexico, and stated that the conduct of Mr. Otway, the British Minister in that country had been strongly complained of in connexion with those:proceedings. The speech delivered from the Throne in February last intimated that our Government had sent a squadron to the Gulf of Mexico for the protection of British subjects, and to obtain redress for the, injuries in flicted upon them by the Centralist party, at the head of which was the present President of the Republic. Mr. Otway was on the most intimate terms with the President, and it was believed that if he had exerted himself as he might have done, the pardon of an innocent British subject who had been condemned to death might easily have been obtained. Without casting any aspersion on the character of Mr. Otway, or charging him with want of energy or zeal, it was, nevertheless, the fact that reports very prejudicial to his reputation as 'a ;public servant were circulated and generally credited in . Mexico, and therefore he ought to have an opportunity of refitting the charges brought against him. The outrages in question, instead of diminishing were increasing in frequency, and even after the arrival of the British squadron they had beconie worse and worse. He therefore hoped that the noble lord would inform the house what steps had been taken to obtain proper repara tion for such injuries. THE CIRCULAR. OF COUNT CAVOUR. Mr. B. COCHRANE (in the absence of Lord W. Gra ham) rose to ask•tho Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the circular of Count Cavour, dated the 14th day of June, 1859, had been officially communicated to the Eng lish Court ; and, if so, whether he had deemed it consistent with his duty to make any reply _thereto, or to address any observations thereon to the Sardinian Minister in this country. In hig despatch of the 14th of June Count Cavour referred to a previdus despatch of the Ist of March, which had been laid on the table. In the first of those despatches allusion had been made to an independent Government for Lombardy and Venice, while in the second the following language was held : " The feelings of the inhabitants have broken out; the municipal authorities, the very same that had been instituted by Austria, have proclaimed the fall of the ancient Govern ment, have renewed the union of 1848, and unanimously confirmed their annexation to Piedmont. The municipality of Milan proclaimed it even within range of Austrian can non. The King, by accepting this spontaneous act of the national will, infringes the existing treaties in no respect, since Austria, by refusing to accept a Congress having for its basis the maintenance of these treaties, and by invading the &Minions of his Majesty, has torn up, in so far as con cerns herself, the transactions of 1814 and 1815." That despatch conveyed so much meaning, and differed so much from the first to which he had referred, that he wished to ask the noble lord whether he had any objections to lay the answer to it on the table. Lord J. RUSSEEL.—In answer to the question which has just been put by the hon. gentleman, and which was to have been put bo a noble lord relating to a despatch or cir cular of Count Cavour of the 14th of Jane, I have-to state' that it has not been officially communicated to the British Government. There is a despatch from Sir J. Hudson, stating the substance of a circular written by Count Cavour —I am not exactly sure whether the same circular or not — which alludes to certain States being annexed to Piedmont. The answer of her Majesty's Government to Sir J. Hudson was that they could not acknowledge any of these annexa tions of other States; that the 'system of occupation must be decided finally by -the wishes of the inhabitants, by the for tune of war, and by any general treaty of peace that might be concluded. This answer Sir. J. Hudson was desired to communicate to Count Cstvdur. There is, therefore, no acknowledgment by her Majesty' s"Goiernment of any of the annexations that may have taken place. (Hear.) I will next reply to • the question which` has been put by the hon. gen leznan the late Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, His question is, whether I have any objecton to lay upon the table of the house a despatch addressed to the Prussian Government or her Majesty's Minister at Berlin as to the course of conduct which Prussia ought to pursue with refe rence to the war in Italy. In answer, I have to state that it.would be very inconvenient to the public service if that fallen an des a p ns att r w h e as re b lu e i e d n o g n iv th en e b ta y b r le r . us l s t ia i , s despatch w a hile, ga again, in to , another was sent only last night by her Maj est y' s Government, con tinuing the correspondence. I think, therefore, the hen. g entleman will see that it would be highly inm iven i e ix t o , give publication to part only of a correspond ence. (Hear.) e the hon. v t e h ry e ofnnaatturureally into corresponden ce some rin the The hon. gentleman speaks of a circular addresied to the Germanic Confederation from the Court of Russia, and of another circular signed by the French Minister of Foreign po and ofwhriagthts was and the proper duties epe r of courset h Affairs, M. Walawski. The cir cu l ar o f t h e C our t o f R uss i a , and I think also that of th e French Minister of Fore i gn Affairs, spoke of the eGe f rm or atnihact Con federation,Con- , federation to pursue in regard to foreign nations. Now, that is a kind of discussion natural enough for the Sates of Ger many ; but we have not followed any such course. We have not discussed at all the rights and duties of the German Con federation, and the rights and duties of the several States,' or What should determine their relations to other Powers.. But with regard to Prussia, owing to rumours that were in some degree countenanced by official statements, we ad dressed a despatoh to that Court. Now, in looking at the Italian papers on the table, I see a despatch from Lord Malmesbury to Lord Bloomfield, our Minister at Berlin, in which, after stating that the Government • of this country intends to remain neutral, he says, " Her Majesty's Government, therefore, deprecate any act which might unnecessarily extend the theatre o f war, and they are prepared to take advantage of any favour- , able opportunity that may arise of being the medium of re storing peace." (Hear.) Now, the object of our despatch to t ' the Court of Berlin was to " deprecate any act that might. unnecessarily extend the theatre of war." Tear.) It ap pears to me that it is the bounden duty of the Government, as far as they can properly do so, to consult with other go-• I need hardly point of warfrom extending. (Hear, hear.) out to the house, certainly not to the hon. gentleman, who. .vernments which are neutral in order to prevent the theatre is so well acquainted with foreign affairs, that while it is a great calamity to have war in Italy, it would be a still grea ter calamity if th e war extended to G erman y, mnil through Germany to t he whole of Eur ope. We were the re fore led to consider what were the causes put forth f hat should induce Prussia to take part in hostilities, and to dis cuss i n the most friendly manner the interests of Priem ia in rega rd to the waa. (Hear, hear.) In regard to the I tatter part of the question put by the hon. gentleman it is pecu liarly necessary that there should be no premature put lica tion of correspendence at this moment ; for, without k now= lug how far the armistice may extend, we are inferrer"( id of ficially by the Ilionitear that it leaves room for negoti (Hear, hear.) That is so important an announcertront that
