" Our correspondence from Rome of the 4th (say s the Conftitutionnel), informs us that on the 2u the distribution of the new eagles took place in S. Peter's square. About 6.000 men ennobled, includ ing artillery. G-eneral Ceinean, taicompanied by Generals Levaillant end - Threlli and their staffs, sembled. all the officers iu a circle round him % and addressed them in a very wr.rai and energetic min /12T , after which he read the formula of the oath, which every officer took by bolding out his hand, rind re• peating the words "Je le jure." Toil iropos posing csremony concluded with the ilistribu.• Lion of thirty crosses, which the Pope had placed at the disposal of the General to be di vided among the diffclent regiments. A great num ber of persons tss'einbled to wit;ness this impoiing• ceremony. Among them were. the Russian and Austrian Ambassadors, the majority of the members of t' e corps diplomatique, and all the high aristocracy now in Rome. , In the evening, the members of the mi;i ivy club invited the Pun:hicitl authorities nod a number of the principal inhabitanrs, who had shown attention to the French officers, to join them in drinking punch. The Ministers of the Interior and of War, Monseigneur Borromeo, the Chine- ,1 berlain of his Holiness, Monseigneur de tiegar, the new auditor of the Rohl &0., were pre sent Oa the 3:1, General and Mlle.(; e,tr.:au gave a grand ball, which was numerously attended; at the recep tion, which preceded the bell, Cardinal Antonelli, and a great number of Roman prelates, were present. The difficulties which stood in the way of raising re cruits abroad to form a solid nucleus for the Pontifical army having been removed, that measure will now be speedily carrl , ol into effect ; but before the Pon tifical Government launches out into too considerable expense for this purpose, would it not be desirable that Franco and Austria should come to an under standiug on the measures to be. taken to withdraw their troops simultaneously from the Roman territory, and on the period when it could take place without danger ? It was hoped at Rome that the Emperor of Austria would on this subject follow the impulse of his heart in an sisting the Papal Government to that end in concert with Francs. The person named Murray, who has been so much talked of in the journals, and in the English Parliament, and who had been condemned to death after a trial which lasted three years, will probably be executed with his accomplices. They all formed a band like that of the famous Zambranchi at Rome, killing without mercy those whom they called suspected, chiefly priests or the moat respectable pro prietors of the country. 150 victims :are known to have fallen between Ancona and Sinigaglia, and the English Government bas in its bands ell the proofs of the crimes committed."

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. CuI:G . P.TICLE —The settled aversion with which re cent eccurreaces in Frame have boon regarded by pub lic epinitte in this country, comtnunicetes a peculter cha racter to the interferences of the President'e Govern ment with the Englhh press, To be menaced by by French police is to have a blue ribend thrust forcibly into one's butt o n-hole ; and though excepti on may fairly be taken to the worthiness of the deserts by which, in particular cases, the honour has been won no living man can ga i nsay t h e honorific nature of the deco ration. Under these circumstances, it is only natural that those who hove missed th e distinction shou'd b e eager to account fur an exemption which is prima facie a little, or mere t h an a little, suspicious. Much latitude must be allowed to their explanations. We are boned to those considerable forbearance in listening to the voluble excuses of a jockey who has lest a race —more especially in a case where, whatever may have been the paces ref the home there has b een n o sparing of whip and spur on t h e part of the rider. But we feel much surpris e , and no small indignation, that the exculpa tions referred to have, in the case of one journal, t a k en the form of a half-expressed hint that our good fortune in being threatened has arisen from our having actually published the " misrepre sentationa"—the " false news"—which alone would justify the official menace. Further, though neither surprised nor indignant, we are considerably amused to find the same contemporary extracting a tribute to his own ireepartielity and accuracy out of what is, in fact, a piece of eccentric clumsiness in his own domestic ar rangeesants. It is nth:ratted on all bands that it' would be en act of gross injustice and violence to remove our correspondent from Franco, except from positive mis ittateesent or wilful distortion of facts. Even tho French police will doubtless allow that the nefavonrabie tenor of his reports would not in itself justify his expulsion, unless those reports were untrue—though, of oteirse, the staederd of truth received in M. de 2ertanpas' cffice.m a y be expected to he peculier. If, then, he be menaced with the penalty due only to falsehood, he has a right, derived from the ' universal principles of justice," ' to ho acqueieted with the bpccifiu instances of mis representation which are laid to his charge. That right_ was at once asserted by our cornespenent; and he was thereupon referred to a metaphor iu a leading article. The metaphor, however, was one which might be applied with equal propriety, and with as little offensiveness, to Lord Derby and Protection; and the article in which it occurred did not, as has been insinu• ated, contain independent recitals of fact, but simply ex pressed our astonishment that, considering the antece dents of Louis Napoleon, he should think it worth while to bind the members of the public service by an oath. Now, is it credible that, if misstatements wero realty imputable to our correspondent, the example cited would have been such as this? Is it not clear that it was merely M. Dumottlin's sense of logical propriety which dictated the hint of " false news," and that he obeyed the real instructions of the Minister when he refused to have anything to do with the actual guilt or innocence of our correspondent, and admitted that he would only be punished as the 'representative" of the obnoxious jour nal?, The co r p us d e li ct i , w h en called for, was found 4 "9 be contained i n a b oun d volume of trantia "lle :from The Morning Chronicle, in which corres riZence and leadi ng art i c l es were indiscrimi -31 min g l e d. I t would be dif f icult to imagine a 'an°,lre not n proof that mere animadversion, draw French Executive. tniarepresention, has roused the ire of li tho owe to tr i°lls a e XeelltiVe. Bat let us pause for a moment to chives of inference from the disclosure which we ttl!)urnonlin's courtesy. It seems that the ar filled with the French police comprise volumes regularly which are pit r b a l io a ns of of the comments on French affeirs Ile reviled by the English press. Now, if this collection and hisegledy•piggledy assemblage of leading article s CO ' rrespondents' reports, we are rstanding why the most acrirao within an Lich e miens, most caeca:de most undiscriminating ant of Louis NapoleeeTal assail described by M.

With a very characteristic ap preciation of the value, uses, and nature of facts, he con gratulates himself on the neutral tenor of the informs !ion he receives, and exultingly tells us that it would be Just as easy together from his columns the materials for an unqualified eulogy on Louis Napoleon, as for the un mitigated censure which he happens to have accidentally selected as his own mode of treatment. With all respect for the authority from which this doctrine emanates, we confess that it strikes us as decidedly eccentric, and rather immoral. Meitre du blunt et die noir is, of coarse, consistent with honesty; bat it implies hesitation, whilst in the finished results of our contemporary there is no trace of doubt as to the true character of Louis Napoleon's policy. For our own part, if our pictures of the French President are black, it is only because he, by his acts, rubs little but black on our palette. Oar conclusions are built on the facts which his conduct supplies to impartial and independent observation. But the facts supplied to our contemporary wear a sort of whitey-brown com plexion; and, unless he keeps a secret dab of paint in his waistcoat pocket, we cannot for the life of us ima gine how his portrait turns out as black as the canvas of Mr. Martin used to be, before that distinguished artist imbibed his taste for ultramarine. If there were any truth in the charge made against our correspondent, Chet his reports on French affairs !are less relieved by redeeming gleams of commendation than the amen= of his colleagues, it would still be open to us to reply that there is an antecedent probability of harmony between the Orleans decree, or the slaughter on the Boulevards, and the residue of their author's measures. But it is wholly untrue that the gentleman in question has omitted to report good as well as evil If ail least sem blance of greater hostility has attached to his letters than to those or others, it is bscanse ho has divined from a longer distance the landmarks of the dark and gloomy rood upon which the French Government -is unhappily journeying. To the scarcely uttered aspersions on his fidelity, and to the complacent self-gratalations founded upon them, we retort that there is no department of our journal in which we are so utterly careless of rivalry as that confided to his direction.

Each of the three Commissioners appointed by Lord Derby's Government will separately visit the harbours of Limerick and Galway, and send in their respective reports." He (Earl Cawdor) did not know whether there was any truth in this paragraph? The out no Commissioner. Not a word of it. We have sent Earl CAWDOR — His Nobl e F r i en d assure d him that there was not a word of truth i n th e p aragra ph, and he E a Earl a pmEirioYne—r. was very willing to believe that Captain Charles a n p o t : in cal c le . d But this subject. '' comi evente," it was said, " threw their shadows before' and he was not quite upon to make any report on ell'eyanrd thata l C s Tyndal might not yet appear bodily in that city for the object assigned to him, or some other gallant Capt a i n i n hi s stead. Ho had hopes that the late discussion in that House had settled this question; but owing to this paragraph, and the per severance with which certain Noble Lords connected with Ireland always pursued the objects which they had once had in view, and owing to other circumstances which had come to his knowledge, he had now more fears than thopes; and, therefore, he felt compelled to put a question or two to his Noble Friends near him. The object of the late i -cquiry ought not to have been what port in Ireland is the best fitted for Transatlantic navigation, but what 'Port on the western side of the United Kingdom, Now, there had been no allusion made to anything of that sort by any other of the Noble Lords opposite. The evidence and the report which had been founded upon it both showed clearly enough that no advantage would be gained by choosing an Irish pert as a Transatlantic packet station, but that great evil and i nco nvenience would accrue to the commercial and tra velling community front the adoption of such a propo sal. Now they were threatened with a fresh inquiry, to decide whether Limerick or Galway would be the least inconvenient as a Place of departure for America. He had already informed their Lordships tikat the Commis sioners who conducted th e l ast iequiry were precluded from inquiring into the practicability of selecting other harbours in other oozed parts , of the country. but it had some how or other (m out that Milford Haven was better suited for a Transatlantic packet station than either Limerick, Cork, or Galway. It had been shown that there was no harbour on the western coast of Ireland into which a V 03841 of any great tonnage could enter with safety in hazy weath er. Now, the soundings in Milford Hav e n were so good th at any vessel of any size might run into it either night or day. If we were to have another inquiry into this subject, he thought that the ca pabilities of Milford haven ought to be included in that ioquiry. He concluded a speech, which was indistinctly heard throughout, ' by asking the Noble Duke near him (Northumberland) • whether he intended to proceed with this inquiry,. and, if 8 0 whether ho would include Mil ford Haven in it? , The Earl of D ERBY was not surprised that his Nobl© should not he lost si g h t o f ; Friend was anxious that the merits of Milford Haven Friend to balance them against the merits of Limerick and Galway, tv advocated on a regarded the hich were as eloquently former night h., y certain Irish friends of his as those of Milford Haven had been advocated that evening. His Noble Friend hadmisapprehended the intention of the but he mast leave his Noble Commission of Inquiry now about to issue. First, as cited from the Times. - It might be very true that Cap tain had Tyndal Was surveying and examining Galway Bay; but, if so, it was on his own behalf, and not on that of paragraph which his Noble Friend had the Government. When he said just now that Govern menthad said that which was perfectly true to the letter, for the appointment of the Commissioners had not been signed till not dispatched a Commissioner to Galway, he , that morning by the Noble Duke near hi " S till, it was intended that those Commissioners should :proceed to make forthwith a personal survey and examination of the western coast of Ireland. Their narrow an --r vey, however, was to be limited within very h ounds. He thought that his Noble Friend h a d been prese nt at the last debate on this subject, when it was state d that one point ought to be cleared up by p er sonal ex amination ou the spot. The last Com m i ss i on had reported that if a packet station or a harbour of refuge were to b e created on t h e west coast of Ireland, p reieren ce must be g i ven to either Galway or Li merick; a nd thou it had d escr ib e d t h e a d vantages an d the disad vantages of both. The Noble Marquis opposite (Clan ricarde) h ad then suggested that a new Commission should . be issued to fill up the void in our kn ow l e d ge by striking the balance between those two harbours. To that object, and to that object alone, were the inquiries pre ference wa s outhe Co mmissioners to be directed. The Government d not decided to which of the two harbours the Commis sioners to decide with his Noble Friend. He could as sureun- dertake the work of establishing a great Tra given, but would leave it to the his Noble Friend that Government would not tLord LYNDIIIIRSL in rising packet station without communicating further with him as to the merits of Milford Haven. The Marquis of CI, A.NRICARDE was u nderstood to say that there would un do u bted Committee be appointed to be an importance,saving of time, which was -- a matter of the very greatest by CASE OP THE BARON the adoption of an Irish port.

ESCULENTS IN THE TIME or CHARLES I.—The bud of the sunflower before it expands was then dressed like an artichoke, and eaten as a dainty, and the pounded seeds of the nasturtium we thought preferable to mustard. Evelyn praises the milky or dappkd thistle, either as a salad, or belled, or baked in pies like the artichoke ; it was then sold in our herb markets, but probably for a supposed virtue in consequence of its name, Carduus Marice, or our lady's milky thistle, which made it he esteemed a proper diet tor nurses. The burr also he calls delicate and wholesome, when young. The young leaves of the ash were a favourite pickle. THE LONDON GAZETTE, June 11. B ANK RUPTS.

J U N J l2, 1852 de Bede was a British subject; he possessed a large pro perty in France; that property was confiscated by the revolutionary Government of France. At the time of the peace a treaty was entered into between the King of France and the Government of this country, by which a large sum of money was paid over to the British Go vernment, for the purpose of giving an indemnity to British subjects whose property had been confiscated by the revolutionary Government of France. A consider able portion of that amount remained still unapplied to the purpose for which it was given. The Baron de Bode, as a British subject, claimed to be indemnified out of the remains of the money so paid by the Go vernment of France to the Government of this coun try; but by a series of misapprehensions and mistakes of the most extraordinary kind the Baron de Bode had had been defeated in his attempts to obtain redress from the British Government. The Baron de Bode had also been baffled in his attempts to obtain redress by the various applications which he had made to the other House of Parliament, and at last, worn out with anxiety and perseverance in this case, ho had sunk into the grave, and had transmitted his claims to the present pe titioner, who was his son, his heir, and his p ersona l re presentative. He (Lord Lyndhurst) hoped their Lord ships would bear with him for a few moments while he said a word or two with respect to himself as con nected with this case. Ho was present in their Lord ships' House when, sitting judicially, they pronounced the late judgment in the case of the Baron do Bodo. He (Lord Lyndhurst) found no fault with that judgment. Indeed, no other judgment could have been pronounced consistently with law, and he concurred in it; but in the course of the proceedings ho felt so strongly the injustice which had been done to this gentleman, and the injuries he had sustained, that—rashly, perhaps, so far as he was personally concerned—he undertook to bring their case before their Lordships. He bad supposed at the time he made the promise, that he would have been able to bring the subject forward during the last session. If he had anticipated the delay he would cer tainly have hesitated in making such an engagement, owing to his increasing infirmities—(Hear, hear)—but, having once made a promise, he felt himself bound to adhere to it,—(dear. hear.) Having now given an out line of the case, he would fill up some of the details ne cessary for its perfect comprehension. The father of the into chtiment was a German by birth; he was in the service of the King of France; and he married an English lady, the daughter of Mr. Kynneraley, of Lox ley-park, Staffordshire, by whom he bad a son, the late claimant, who was born in that county, and who was therefore to all intents a nutural-born subject of Great Britain, entitled to all the rights of a British subject. The father and son were entitled to an extensive and valuable estate in Lower Alsace, called the Lordship of Suit; which was held under the Archbishop and Chap ter of Cologne, and was an inalienable male fief. Alsace was annexed to the Crown of France by the treaty of Munster, which contained provisions for pre serving all existing tenures. In 1791 the father of the late claimant, being in the service of the King of France, foreseeing the events then pending, and fear ing that they might lead to the loss of his interest in the estate by confiscation or otherwise, determined to give up his interest to his eon, and it was accordingly con veyed to his son, the late claimant, with all the forms and ceremonies incident to the law. In 1793, in conse quence of the events which occurred in France, both the lather and the son were compelled to leave that country and to take refuge in Germany. They were therefore treated by the then Government of France as emigrants, and their estate was confiscated. The conveyance of the estate from the father to the son had been made to in sure the estate to the family, the son being a British subject; and France being at that time in amity with England, it was supposed that, under the circumstances, the estate was secured. By the unjust act which he had mentioned, however, the estate was confiscated by the French Government. So matters remained till the close or the war, when conventions were entered into between France and this country for the purpose of affording compensation to persons who had sustained losses by confiscations under the authority of the revolutionary Government, and a mixed commission was appointed to consider the claims. The late claimant pre• sented a memorial to the Duke de Richlieu in January, 1816, setting forth his claim, but the Duke said it was inadmissible, because the claimant's father was a Ger man. The claimant immediately applied to Sir C. Stewart, the British Ambassador, who was satisfied that a mistake had been committed by the Duke de Richlien, and Mr. Mackenzie, the chief English Commissioner, also stated that there was not the slightest ground for the objection, and promised to put the claimant's name upon the list. The Commissioners, however, recom mended the claimant, as the Duke de Richlieu disputed his nationality, to obtain proof of his birth and of other circumstances upon which his claim was founded. The claimant immediately obtained certificates of the mar riage of his father and mother, and of his own birth, and other necessary documents, and he also submitted his case to the late Sir S. Romilly, who stated there was no doubt whatever that he was a British subject. The evidence thus obtained was presented to the Commis sioners, and Mr. Mackenzie subsequently said he would take care that the claimants name should be put upon the list, Mr. Mackenzie subsequently stated that he had doubts as to whether the property was situated within the limits of the French territory, but the claimant showed that the whole of Lower Alsace was sur rendered to the Crown of France by the treaty of Mun ster, and Mr. Mackenzie admitted that he had made a mistake, and said that the claimant's name should be placed upon the list. The claimant applied from time to time to know when his case 'would be heard, and so matters went on till 1818, when a new convention was entered into between the Crown of France and the Go vernment of this country, the mixed commission was abolished, and a large sues of money, amounting to 60,000,000 francs, was paid over to the British Govern ment, who undertook to satisfy the British claimants and to indemnify France against all claims made by British subjects. I n 1819 an Act of Parliament wa s passed to carry th a t conv ention into effec . t, and . by that . measure the Com m i ss i one rs who had acted on the part o f England in the mixed commission were named as Com missioners under the new convention. The Commis sioners made out th e ir list, which included the name of the claimant, and he requested tp be informed what was the nature of the evidence which would be required in support of his claim. The elaimuannitarhya d difficulties, been by the long delay, to great p ee he .stated his circumstances frankly ttohoen necessary theCoam missioners, and applied for time to o evidence, which was at once_to allowed him. the cession the part of the evidence required related claimant from the father to the son, andthe Commission .n this was on the continent collecting that evidence , when ers called upon his agentcountry the ,to prove that o c g h y o , ge a n n t d u t nd e the property r t h ea Be ritish decrees T the property was confiscated, on4sooteda s b_e s subject, a once replied that against British subjects. h it was confiscated in consequence of emigration. The Commissioners then said that unless it could be proved that the property had been confiscated under the decrees against British subjects the claimant was n o t ent i tled to i oe n an g ltyi t o on evidenceju was as a most extra ordinary decision, come in under the acnondventi there o convention. a s T no i :et nothing titYtiattreino the terms of the conve ntion, for th quired by the 7 th art icle of the convention British subject was en titled to property Which had b een a w ears c onfiscated. Indeed , cases were decid e d a fterwards by the Co mm ittee of the Privy Couyncil which established the right of persons to receive com pensation whose property h. , had been confiscated, not as the property of British au J . ec.s . , but as the property of emi grants, and on account of emigration. The Commissioners, however, at once proceeded to meke their award, which was an a ward of rejeotion. Th e fi rst ground upon which th e y proceeded was that Which he had just mentioned. The second groused was, that there was no sufficient proof of the cession of the property to the claimant by his father. That was an e xtraordinary ground, for the commissioners had themselves prevented the completion of that evidence. There was another question. Tho commission left entirely out of view the vested remain der, which the claimants had taken prior to and inde pendently of the cession, The third ground was one upon which he did not inisi t s except for the puepose of showing the manner in which the commission transacted its proceedings. There was a claim for compensation as regarded part of the property, which consisted of biens caducs. The Commissioners referred to the Dic tionnaire de l'Academie, and found this phrase descritsd as a house in ruins, a lapsed legacy, property altogether abandoned, and belonging to no one; and they asked " how can you claim compensation for property which be longs to no one?" Such was the conclusion of the Commis sioners; whereas, if they had only consulted any French lawyer, or even an Eoglish lawyer, they would have learnt at once that the phrase meant property escheated to the lord for want of heir, and which had become abso lutely the property of the lord. Then, again, the Com missioners, not being acquainted with the law of Frenee, consulted a learned work with reference to that part of the claim whi c h re l ated to the'property in mine- end they extra c t e d a passage from it with t h e v i ew o f show ing that th e c l a i mant could have no proper ty in mines— minesd being of no v a l ue , as th e y could not be worked without of the without the permis s io n an d under the surve ill a nc eepassage Government; whereas any person who readr quoted had with attenti on wou ld find that the au e th rs o come to a conclusion directly the rev was answering an argumentTus e nded the against the opinion which b e, and that he he himself had expressed. proceed ings of the Commissioners. The gentleman then ap pealed Counci l, who after some time affirmed the award o to the Privy_ t h e Commissioners, solely on th e ground that the cession must bo taken to have bee n mad© for the purpose of deluding the revolutionary Go vernment. The c l a imant was thus loft without re d ress. f the Privy 's affirmance t The ground o remainder ouncil che had to whi h no re affecting 'r the vested (erred, t h e claimant was advised to apply for a re-hearing of the eas e. But no sooner was it known that he intended to app ly for a rehearing than application was made to have the decision of the Privy Council confirmed by the Crown • Now, everybody acquainted with the course of proceedings in such cases knew full well tbat this was usually a mere matter of form; but, on this occasion, it turned out to be a matter of substance; for, when the gentleman applied for a rehearing, the Privy Council de cided they had no authority to rehear the case, in conse quence of the Crown having ratified the previous affir mance. At that time there was about 5,0001. in the hands of the Lords of the Treasury which had not been applied in discharge of the claims; and a gentleman who was then a Member of the House of Commons, but who was now a member of the House of Lords . , applied to M r . C ann i ng , th en P r i me Mi n i ster , and stated the case to him. Mr. Canningh ; 3 7 1 strongly impressed with the injustice which a=a®r been done to the gentleman, and said be would do bins the ease to be inquired into, and endearueri. that di,_ j ust i ce. Unfortunately, however, the death of h step being tinguished stateiiman prevented any Lul l who was now takn in that direction. The Noble L ° next took up at the head of Iser Majesty's Go ver nmentHuuse of Commons, the case, and bri night it before the c airy, ond aup where h e moved', for a Committee o f ported it with all the fervour, zeal, perspicuity, and elo quence with which their Lordships had been so long familiar; but how was ho met? The first argument with which he was met was that the property in question had not been confiscated as property of a British subject under the decree to which ho had adverted—an argu ment which he (Lord Lyndhurst) had already disposed of. Another argument with which the Noble Lord was met was that the cession had not been proved by any deed. Now, in France there was no distinction whatever between writings and deeds, as in this country. That law was peculiar to this country. The surrender was made according to the law of the country where it took place which was quite suffi cient. But the third reason urged against the motion was of a still more singular character, viz., that it would cast ti Blur on the credit of the Commission and the Privy Council, if they g rante d the inquiry. How ever. those arguments, assisted by others at the nature of which he would not hint, prevailed on the House, and the motion, though . supported by a ll t h e v i gour an d manly eloquence of Sir J. Graham, was lost. A Noble and Learned Lord opposite, who was then a Member of the House of Commons (Lord Truro, we believe), next undertook to bring the question before the House of Commons, but he was put off from day to day by va rious causes, until the dissolution of Parliam ent , with out being able to effect his purpose, and, not having a seat in the new Parliament, he ceased to be in a condition to fulfil his engagement. Mr. Hill, the then Member for Hull, next brought the question before the House, and had made some progress in his statement, when the House was counted out, and he was unable to bring it forward again during the session. He renewed it, however, in a subsequent session, and, in a House of nearly 200 Mem bers, not only obtained a hearing, but carried his motion for a Committee. The case was argued before a Com mittee, day after day, by counsel on both sides; and the inquiry had been nearly brought to a close, when an objection was made on the part of the opponents of the claim, that the documents produced had not been au thenticated by any British Minister or agent. The session being then nearly at a close, the objection put a stop to the inquiry; but the Committee, in their report to the House, strongly urged the necessity of re-appoint ing the Committee in the next session. Parliament was again dissolved, and Mr. Hill not being again returned to the House, it became necessary to find some other Member to move for the re-appointment of the Commit tee; but such was the general alarm at the nature and complexity of the case, that it was necessary to go about knocking from door to door to find some Member to un• dertake ir. At last Mr. Warburton moved for the re appointment of the Committee; and, singular to say, was met by the argument, on the part of an officer of the Crown, that the Baron de Bode, who, for 20 years, bad been persevering an d act i ve i n every possi b le way to have his case heard andadecided, had slept upon his case—an , argument which he m a i n t a i ne d was, un d er a l l the cir cumstances, nothing 's less than a piece of crue l moc k er y and insult.—(Elear.) Mr. Warburton's motion having been lost, the Baron next applied for a mandamus, calling upon the Treasury to apply the money for the purpose for which it 'nod been received. The mandamus was re fused, on the ground that the Lords of the Treasury held the money as the servants of the Crown, and it was asked how could a mandamus, which was an order of the Crown, command the Crown to apply the money in any par ticular way. The counsel for the claimant then ap plied for a petition of right, supplicating her Majesty to do justice; and—would their Lordships believe it—this application was resisted on the ground that the money was not in the hands of the Crown, but in the hands of the Lords of the Treasury. At length, however, Lord Cottenham, then Lord Chancellor, appointed four mom hers of the bar, and highly qualified, for the duty, to examine into the matter. These gentlemen summoned e jury of fourteen, twelve being necessary for a verdict, and that jury pronounced an unanimous verdict, firading all the facts which were asserted in the petition of right to be true.—(Efear, hear.) The Attorney-General had notice to attend this inquiry, and might have attended it if he had thought proper, but he did not do so. Al though, however, he did not choose to attend the inquiry he did that which by law he was of course perfectly en titled to do —he traversed the finding, and pleaded the Statute of Limitations, which was fatal to the claim. (Hear, hear.) The neat step was a trial at bar, where the four Judges presided with a special jury, and the result was to confirm the former finding in every particular. All the facts which ho had stated, then, had been proved by the concurrent verdict of two juries ; but the Baron did not obtain judgment in consequence of a clause in the Act which nad been passed for the purpose of carrying out the convention, which rendered it necessary that the claim should first have been established by the adjudication of the Commissioners. An appeal was next made to the House of Lords, and the House of Lords confirmed that decision. If he were to be asked where the money was to come from to satisfy these claims, his answer was that it was either in the hands of the Lords of the Treasury, or that it had been applied to seine public service. It the latter were the case the public, having reaped the benefit of it, were bound to restore the money.—(Elear, hear.) But he did not go se far as that. He asked simply for a Committee to inquire into this case, and if the Committee should confirm the statement which he had made he should appeal to her Majesty's Govern ment to afford redress. He pressed this case in common honesty and common fairness, not for the sake of the claimant alone, but for the coaracter, honour, and dig nity cf this great country.—(Hear, hear). The Earl of DER3Y said, that seldom, even in his Noble and Learned Friend's earlier days, had it been his pleasure to listen to detail's of great complication and importance delivered with so complete a command of all the circumstances of the case, unassisted, as their Lord ships had seen, by reference to a single note. as the statement which they had just heard from his Noble and Learned Friend—(Hear, hear)—and seldom, he ventured to say, had the cause—he would not say of justice, be cause that would be to some extent prejudging the case —but the cause of humanity and national honour, been placed before them in language more eloquent and en forced by arguments more cogent than those which his Noble and Learned Friend had with so much ability employed.—(Hear, hear.) He was sure that to every one, on whichever side of the House he sat, it would be equally gratifying to perceive that his Noble Friend's mental faculties, at all events, were unimpaired after his many years of public life, while his nice sense of what was due to the honour, justice, and dignity of the country was main ta i ne d with as muchl strength and sin cerity as in earlier days.—(Hear, hear.) Be (the Earl of Derby) was far from wishing to enter into a discus sion of the merits of this case. Twenty-four years ago he had brought forward the wrongs, as he then conceived them to be, of the father of the present petitioner, and ho thought now there could be but one opinion, after such a statement as they had just heard, proceeding from such an authority as his Noble and Learned Friend, evincing so clearly the conviction on his own mind of the sub stantial justice of the case which he had brought before them, that it was their bounden duty not to refuse to submit to the test of an inquiry the facts of the case.— (Hear, hear.) Undoubtedly there must be great diffi• culties in the way of such an inquiry, and it must extend to a period which would render it doubtful whether any Committee that they might appoint could bring their labours to a conclusion in the present session. Still, if his Noble Friend pressed for a Committee in the present session, ho should offer no opposition to such a motion. There would no doubt be objections raised in the other House of Parliament to any vote of money. At the same time he would say, that if the report of the Com mittee should substantiate the justice and equity of the claim, neither the lapse of time, nor technicalities, nor the inconvenience of being called on to pay a sum, how ever large, ought to prevent this country satisfying the demands of justice.—(Hear, hear.) However large, therefore, the sum which might be awarded, and how ever unpleceing to the Chancellor of the Exchequer such a thing might be, if the Committee should come to a clear and undoubted opinion upon the incontrovertible frets before them, that this gentleman had in honour, equity, end mon:lite', a claim upon this country, Parlia went would not reiuse to acknowledge the liability and respond to it.—(Hear.) E?rl GREY did not rise to express any opinion upon the claim of the Baron de Bode, with the merits of which he was ucacquainted; but he agreed with the Noble Earl who had just spoken, that if there were a valid claim on the equity and justice of the country, however large the rune at stoke might be, it would be the duty of the other House of Parliament to provide the means of meeting that claim.—(Elear, hear.) He could not help enter taining very serious doubts, however—he might say more than doubts—whether the appointment of a Com mittee of that House was the proper mode of arriving at important question. He th oug h t that a decision Parliamentary up this Committees were, of all tribunals, the least to be trusted when the question to be consi dered involved a claim upon the public purse; and, least of all, could a claim of this nature, involving such nice considerations of law, be satisfactorily investigated by a Committee of their Lordships House.— (Hear, hear.) If the claim were to be brought before the other House of Parliament, and a vote of money were to be asked for, it ought to be recommended by the responsible advisers of the Crown, after they, by due inquiry, had satisfied themselves that it was a just one. the speech o f t h e N o b le and Learned Lord did certainly appear to make out a very strong case indeed, but he could not help thinking that there mast be some thing more behind, with which they were not accurately acquainted, which made it expedient that the investiga tion should be conducted by commissioners learned in the law, or by some other tribunal more compotents ago a Committee of that House. Twenty-four yeaern,had the Noble Lord now at the head of the Government into moved the appointment of a Committee to d Le i rd ci tch° bad this subject. The Noble and Learned t bat time the that evening brought it forward was , the keeper of the King's conscience, an he presumed, the Noble and Learned Lord's advice, ed a decided re- Government of that day . had a c t or ; s a da.

His Noble Friend said he could not help suspecting that there was some thing behind; but, if that were the case, if there were anything concealed which did not meet the eye, surely that wars the very ground on which they should at once appoint a Committee.—(gear, hear.) A large sum of the amount given by France still remained, he believed, unappropriated, at all events to the purpose for which it was given, and the Committee, if it answered no other use, would be beneficial in eliciting the precise mode in which that surplus had been disposed of. Lord MONTE AGLE said it was many years since he had looked into the papers in this case, but he bad a tolerably clear recollection of the circumstances con nected with it. There could be no doubt that a large sum had been given by France to be distributed among certain claimants by a tribunal appointed for that pur pose by Act of Parliament. It was alleged that the portion of this sum which should have been given to the Baron de Bode had been appropriated by the Govern.- ment for selfish purposes, so that the Baron had been. defrauded of his just rights. Ia the first instance, la term had been assigned within which all persons purport ing to have claims were to put in those claims, and it was quite true that in the time of Lord Liverpool, there being a portion of the amount unexhausted by the satis faction of the just claims pat in within the stipulated period, that surplus was applied to the building and de coration of Buckingham Palace. That was matter of history and well understood. It did not, however, appear to be equally well understood, though it was equally matter of fact, that under the Government of Earl Grey that surplus, so applied to the building and decoration of Buckingham Palace, was required to be returned, and it was accordingly returned in lull by the Treasury, and applied in payment of a second list of claims which were allowed to be put in by persons who had been excluded from the former distribution by the limitation of time originally assigned. He would, in the course of the evening, move for Treasury accounts which would clearly show this state of facts, and which would thus disprove. at the same time the allegation that the money designed for the Baron de Buda had been used by the British Government for selfish purposes, and the proposition that there was money available for the purpose of the Baron's claim. Lord TRURO said that those who had heard the powerful and eloquent, and convincing address cf the Noble Premier, when, in the other H ouse , twenty- f ou r years ago, he advocated the, even thee, manifest claims of the Baron de Bode, could not have imagined the possi bility of any other Course on his part than that which he had now adopted, however inconvenient in its hawse diate effect on the Exchequer the result of that course' might be. The only conceivable objection to the ap pointment of a Committee was, that in fact, reason, or Justice, there was not a single feature of the Baron's claim in rational dispute.. This was so manifest, even to the Noble Earl who had just opposed the motion, that he insisted there must bo a enethang behind antegoniztic to the claim, since there was no patent reason why the, claim should not long since h ave b een a d m i tte d and acted upon. His Noble Friend might be quite assured that, had there been anything anywhere that could be adduced to invalidate the Baron's claim, it would not baf° remained very long in the background. The opponents who could condescend to resort to so miserable an eva sion as an appeal to the Statute of Limitations mot , indeed, have been at their wit's end for a case. - • (Hear, hear.) As to the statement that there was ne fund out of which this claim could be satisfied, even in part, the finding of the jury distinctly re b u tted it; for the finding of that jury was, that after the payment of all the claims duly registered within the time first stipulated, there remained 482,75 2 L 6s . sa. of the sum given in this respect by the French Govern ment; of this 480,0001. 200,0001, had since been Pai d to persons whose claims had been admitted by grace, and the residue had been paid into the Bank of England to the account; of the Government. M matter of strict justice the first residue of 480,000 e ought to have been paid in satisfaction of the Baron de Bode's claims, his admitted claims; and the 200,0001• which had been given in other quarters had been un questionably given in the Baron's wrong; but he w utterly monstrous the proposition that even tho residn e now existing was to be withheld from him I—(gea r ' hear.) When France ptsid the money it was the deti of this country to see that it was honestly applied lO r t those in whose beh a lf th e c l a i ms h a d b een preferred. it appeared, after th e c l a i ms were i n, a communication took place between the two Governments as to the Prtr • per sum to be set apart to answer future claims. The Baron de Bode's claim was in at that time; an" upon the footing of the claims then in a computation We n made as to the sum to b e s et a p art . It appeared to bit!' that, according to the statem e nts, th e case was shun!" iccredible in point of strength and truth, and, if that Lordships should find the claim to bs just, he aPPre headed there would be no difficulty in adopting some course to redeem the honour of the country. Lord HATHERTON said that, having been the firs t person who brought forward this claim in the House °.; Commons in 1826 or 1827, he could not allow the matte r i to pass without expressing his sense of obligation w Noble Earl for the spirited course he had taken, and which he thought the honour of the country, and what. was due to the Crown, demanded. After the verdict of the jury, it was impossible lor their Lordships W ignore the claims of the Baron do Bode, or, at least, to give him a fair opportunity of satisfying their Lordships of the merits of his case. The motion was then :agreed to. The Metropolitan Buildings Act Further Ameedmeot Bill passed through Committee. On the Order of the Day for going into Committee en the School Sites Acts E:rtension Bill, The Bishop of OXFORD explained that the object Of_ the Bill was only t o p r ovide gre a t er f ac ili t i es f o r the erecting of scho o l s f or th e e d uca ti on o f t h e differen t classes of the community. The Bill then passed through Committee. SURRENDER OF CRIMINALS (CONVENTI ON WITH FRANCE) BILL.

Th e y must i ha some faith in one another. The convention could no t '- put in motion until both parties were agreed. After a few words from the Earl of MINT°, the Lord CAMPBELL suggested the withdrawal oht Bill, and the making of a new convention to be ratified es by an Act of Parliament. All the existing diffiex_r as might then be got rid of, and such a measure frame d would be satisfactory to all parties. f si l Lord BROUGHAM said that, as th e desire o , ba il parties was to make the Bill satisfactory to J lb countries, he thought the better pl an wou ld bs to, the different changes propos e d t o b e made the 1 ° 1) printed, and its further con s id erat i on post p o ned for few days.
