CARLSRUIIE, APRIL 2.9.—The following ordinance was published this morning:— " We. Leopold, by the grace of God, Grand Duke of Baden, &c. For some time since public tranquillity has been disturbed at Mannheim. A certain number of in solent and bold men have, by their audacity and their violence, terrified the inhabitants, and rendered the sway of the legal authorities impossible, &e. " Consequently, the town of Mannheim is proclaimed in a state of siege. All inhabitants are obliged to deliver their arms to the proper authorities in the three hours following the publication of the present d. cree. The arms which are not delivered at the expiration of the above delay will be confiscated." Three thousand Bavarian troops have entered Mannheim this morning. The men who, armed with scythe•, attacked the troops close to the Rhine-bridge at Mannheim, have been taken into custody and brought to Bruchsal. BRUNSWICK. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Assembly of the Danish States has been opened at Roeskilda by the Royal Commissary, Count SPONNACK, who declared the resistance of Schleswig to the proposition of an incorporation with Denmark as nothing less than open rebellion. Addresses to the KING and the army were proposed, and unanimously adopted by the Assembly. aße monstrances were made by several of the Members gatnst the conduct of the Minister of Marine in not havingnii blockaded the mouth of the Elbe. In answer, out with that ob . assurance was given that two frigates are fitting Two pct.

The other vessel was captured amburgh steam C er ua G h u a t v e e n n be b r y g. the quasi-Hanoverian- We have noth ing particular from the seat of war. The Prussians will march into Jutland and Seeland, and attempt the Belt—this is the plan laid down, and preparations are made for it. The island of Alsen will be the next place where hard fighting is expected. The place is entrenched on all sides. The bulk of the Danish troops are already there, supported by several armed steamers, brigs of war, and upwards of Si xty gun-boats ; the life and death struggle of Denmark will be here, and the allies know well the strength opposed to them, as they will not attempt any attack before the heavy artillery from Hanover gets there. It is expected that Denmark will proclaim the blockade of the Elbe in a day or two. A letter from Hanover of the 30th ult. states that General HALKETT had written to the KING, an- flouncing that, on his arrival on the coast opposite the island of Alien, the Danes quitted their entrench ments without firing a shot. He took possession of these entrenchments, but states that tl:e attack on the island would be a work of great difficulty, as it is Well protected by artillery and Danish ships of war. POLAND AND POSEN. Affairs continue very unsettled in Pcsen. The Breslau Gazette of the 30th of April reports that partial fights between the troops and the in surgents are occurring every day throughout the country. An encounter took place at Strzelno, in the district of Znowraelaw, between a hundred soldiers and six hundred Poles armed with scythes. The military resisted until the arrival from Moglino of 500 infantry and 100 Hussars, but were unable to prevent a great number of the German inha- bitants being killed by the insurgents, of whom fifteen lost their lives, and thirty were taken prisoners. A letter from Posen, of the 28th of April, states that a portion of the Polish party have sent to the Emperor of RUSSIA an address, in which they entreat him to proclaim the Duke of LEUCHTENBURG, King of the whole Sclavonic people (Bohemia in cluded), under the sovereignty of the CZAR. The deputation from Warsaw to Petersburgh has /net the EMPEROR on the way, and returned with him to Warsaw. News from Russian Poland is very scanty, as the regular communications are inter- rupted. Commercial letters received at Posen state that an insurrection had broken out at St. Peters- burgh, amongst the troops of the Imperial Guard, but bad been speedily suppressed. Wolhynia and Po dolia, it is said, are ripe for an insurrection, and await but the favourable moment. RUSSIA AND CIRCASSIA. A letter from Constantinople, of April 17, says Russia is concentrating considerable forces in the Crimea and in Bessarabia. All the fleet of the Black Sea is ready to quit Sebastapol. Prince WORONZOFF bas made advantageous propositions to the Circassians : be has gone so far as to consent to withdraw all the Russian army f rom t h e Ci rcass i an so il, an d no t t o leave any garrison except in a few forts, provided SCUSMY L would recognise the soverignty of the C zAa• The Cabinet of St. Petersburgh was anxious, above_ all, t o render the army of the Caucasus avail ale f or other purposes. But SCHAMYL has refused t b . o ente r i nto negotiation, and has declared that be tween Russi a and Circassia there should never be either peace or truce. On the 30th ult. the State Assembly was pro rogued to the 20th of June, on which day it is to meet again to discuss a law concerning the modifica tions to be introduced into the constitution. The son of the ex• Minister, Count of VELTPEIND, having caricatured some of the most popular men in the town, the mob gathered, and broke some panes at the windows of his house. The publisher of these cari catures was saved from the hands of the people by the civic guard. Some other persons had their panes broken on this occasion.

VENICE. i 1 It appears from the accounts received from Italy 1 in France that the Austrian General, NuGENT, is making great progress in the Venetian territories. 'I he Journal des Debats says— " We have received disastrous accounts from Frioul. General Count Nugent, who has recently crossed the Isonzo at the head of an Austrian corps of 12,000 men, makes fresh progress every day. The canture of Udine, the capital of Frioul, is fully confirmed. But a much greater check for the Italian cause consists in the capi tulation of the fortress of Palmanova, which took place on the 25th ult. This fortress, which is one of the stromrest in Italy, was the bulwark of 'the Republic provinces. It was commanded by General Zucchi, one of the veterans of the Italian army in the time of Na poleon. We reckoned much on the merit and on the cifurage of that officer; but we must add, that the 6,000 or 8,000 rren whom he had been able to assemble were quite insufficient to defend the fortifications, which are on a moat extended scale. " kt e have before us the Venetian journals of the 25th, but we find nothing in them but false reports of a pre tended defeat of the Austrians at the gates of Udine. When we see this want of news at such a critical mo ment, we cannot but deplore the incredible apathy of the Venetians, who confine themselves to accusing the Roman General Durando, as if from the banks of the I'o, where he had only just arrived, he could immediately transport himself to the frontier of the Frioul." The A►►gsburg Gazette, of the 30th ult , contains :he following letter from Trieste, of the 26th : " Several letters have reached this place from Gontzia, on the Isonzo, and from Cormono, the frontier of the Frioul, containing the account of the surrender of Palma nova on the 25th, on the mediation of the Archbishop and of some delegates from Udine, and that the Austrian troops immediately entered the place." LOMBARDY. The Risorgimento of the Ist inst. quotes a letter from Somma Campagna of the 29th ult., containing an account of the operations that had taken place the day before. The Brigade Pinerolo, that had hitherto blockaded Peschiera, left the 14th regiment there for that purpose, and passed to the right of the Alincio, occupying the village of Cavalcasette, between Pes chiera and Verona. The Brigade Piedmont, which had its advanced posts at Castelnovn, occupied Paren go, on tic Lake of Garda, after a severe fight with a superior number of Austrians, who were defeated. The Brigade Savoy took up its position at Santa Giustina, also between Peschiera and Verona; and lastly, the Brigade of Savona and the body of Par mese occupied the village of Sandra, and effected their junction with the Brigade of Piedmont. By these movements it appears that communications are absolutely cut off between Verona and Peschiera. Great uncertainty exists concerning the taking of Udine. In the Venetian papers of the 26th ult. we not only see the news confirmed, that the Austrians had not entered the town, but it is also affirmed that General Zucca' had received reinforcements of Ve netian volunteers at Palmanova, and that he had de clared his determination to defend that fortress, which is in a good state of defence, to the last extremity. On the other hand, the Augsburg Gazette of the 30th quotes a letter from Trieste of the 26th, announcing that several letters arrived there from Goritz and Corn - ions contains the news that Palmanovo had capi tulated at half•past three r on the 25th. Another report of General NUGENT announces that Cividale, north of Udine, had been taken. Codriopo was to be occupied on the 24th, and an engagement, in which the Austrians had the advantage, had taken place at Ponteba. ROME. Several representatives of different States of Italy have arrived at Rome to attend the Roman National Assembly. The question as to whether or not Rome should declare war against Austria is to be considered in a Secret Consistory. The Roman army, under the command of General DURANDO, composed of 11,000 infantry of the line, four battalions of the Civic Guard, and 500 volunteers, commanded by ZasinEccArn, has passed the Po, and is marching towards Mantua. General FERRARI, with 6,000 men, is still at Bologna waiting for the artillery of the Civic Guard. It is believed that this corps will move into the Venetian State to oppose the troops of General UGENT. THE NEW TELEGRAPHIC LIGHT-HOUSE. That numerous shipwrecks have occurred of late years from the mistakes arising from the present very defective state of the light-house system, in which, as the colour and the times of the appearance and the disappearance of the resp-ctive lights are the only means by which the navigator can distinguish one light from another, is matter of notoriety. It is almost impossible when at sea in rough weather to observe with accuracy either the colour of the light or the times its of disappearance and re•appearance, nothing therefore has been more common of late years than to find that one light has been mistaken for another, and that shipwreck, involving great loss of human life and property, has been the consequence. In the existing plan the colour of the light seems to be the main point of dependence, whereas colour alone is to be least trusted, changed as it perpetually becomes in its character by variation in atmosphere, by rain, fog, &c., and hence mistakes, and the fearful evils arising therefrom. The unnecessary height of the present structures is a further source of mischief, as it causes them to ap pear to the mariner to be at a greater distance than they really are, whereas the spectator requiring to know where the danger lies, should have the light indicating such danger almost parallel with his eye. The insufficiency also of the light caused by the want of more powerful reflectors, and their similarity of appearance, leads seamen to be quite at a loss to make out their real position when at sea during the darkness of night, hazy atmosphere, or fog. In consequence of the numerous shipwrecks which have recently occurred from these causes, Mr. George Wells, of the Admiralty, Somerset House, has been in duced to turn his attention to this subject, and he has in vented a new species of light• house which he terms the new telegraph light- house, by which many of the defects the present system are remedied. Mr. Wells proposes That four (or more) circular apertures be cut in all the existing buildings just below the lantern (circu lars being less calculated to weaken the structure), and the opening thus made fitted with a sash glazed with ground plate glass, with the first letter of the name of the particular light• house painted in an opaque colour thereon, the lights being so reflected as to render the unpainted glass transparent, and thus exhibiting the letter itself in bold relief: The length of the letter being double that of the lantern itself, the letter will consequently be more clearly visible—remove all grounds for doubt as to what light-house it is, and thus afford that security to the mariner which is n o t ex p er i enced under the existing system, with which this suggested improvement will In noway interfere. A model of the new telegraphic light-house was exhibited at a recent scientific conversazione at the Marquis of Northampton's, where it was the subject of much attention by the scientific men present, who declared it to be a very great improvement on the present system. Several experienced naval officers to whom the model has been submitted have borne their testi mony to the great merits of this new light-house. Had one of the new telegraphic light-houses been erected at Dundrutn, exhibiting as it would have done the letter D. Captain Hosken could nut possibly have mistaken it for th e li g h t on the Calf of Man, and the Great Britain would have escaped shipwreck. The name of Mr. Wells will henceforth stand in the roll of the benefactors of the human race. He Will be the means of saving an i mmense amount of life, and of preserving property to a value incalculable from destruction. DEATH OF MR. THOMAS ARCHER, COMEDIAN.— Ank,ther well-known member of the dramatic profession has quitted the mortal and mimic scene. Thomas Archer, for 25 years attached to Drury-lane, Covent_ garden, the Lyceum, and other Theatres, a dramatic author of no mean pretensions, and a contributor to the periodical literature of the day, expired on Wednesday, the 3d inst., at his residence, Mount gardens, Lambeth, at the age of 59. Archer was a remarkable man, and had a liberal share of theatrical talent, with the advan tage of a manly appearance, and a voice of singular richness and dignity.

The Lord Chancellor sat to day at eleven o'clock, and was occupied the whole morning with the further arguments in the part-heard case of Curling v. Flight, which came before his Lordship upon appeal from the decision of Vice - Chancellor Wigram. (Before EthiTVTc7"--fcREN-ECyrt_ Mr. BACONI4r. eth VICE-CH ANCERY. —(THIS DAY.) GENERAL v. l E L N SO G N L . AND.) proceeded • ' n. with his arguments to-day, following Bothell, in this case, and occupied the Court the whole morning. (Before the Vice-Chancellor WIGRAN.) MOTT V. THE LONDON AND BLACKWALL RAILWAY COM- Hi 3 HON OUR PANY.--JUDGMENT gave judgment • to-day in this case, which came before the Court a few for an inj • days b ac k , upon motion unction to restrain the London and Bl ac k we ll Railway C ompany, their servants, wor from making any erection, or doi kmen, and agents, vrould have th e e ff ect of permanentlngd any act, which ing, or rend er i ng i mpassable so y estroyi ng , injur mthe Bow-road), ca ll ed Arnold-road, as was delineated on the plan drawn in margin of the 20th of June, 18 45, an agreem ent, d ated or so much thereof as extended from the Bow -road to a private road back of the plaintiff's gardens. • rhe running at the s;.ipport of the motion was, that Mr. Mott had made in into an agreement for a building lease f h d entered or 99 years of the locus in quo, with the Rev. Mr. Baker and two other gentlemen of the same name; that Messrs. Baker had sold the remainder of the property to the com pany; and that the railway company proposed to erect a station, which it was apprehended would entirely close Arnold. road, by means of which road the plain tiff had access by private entrance to six houses which he had built. The plaintiff alleged that the company (who had purchased the interest of the Messrs Baker) refused to give hisl a lease, the effect of which lease would be to make tn acknowledgment and admission of the existence of the Arnold-road. The plaintiff contended that the efidence established the fact of the agreement for a lease, and that the company were legally bound to perform all the covenants by which Messrs. Baker were bound, and that the company had no power under their Acts, or either of them, to pass over the land in question. His HONOUR, after going through the facts of the case, stating that he carefully read all the papers, in the hope of putting an end to useless litigation, stated that he thought the best course to be adopted would be to let the motion stand over (the defendants undertaking to abide by any order the Court might make), in order that the plaintiff might bring such action as he might be advised, the defendant in that action admitting that the plaintiff had tendered for execution a lease in conformity with the agree ment, except so far as it described the property as bounded by Arnold-road, and that in consequence thereof the defendants had refused to execute the lease. At the suggestion of the counsel for the plaintiffs, The COURT allowed the case to stand over for a few days, in order that the suggestions of his Honour might be considered, and the matter put in a proper train for trial at law. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTII COAST RAILWAY CoNPANY V. JUSTICES OF SURREY. Mr. WARBENGZR moved for rule calling upon the justices of surrey to show cause why a certiorari should not issue to have the proceedines of an appeal case that had been heard beft're them brought into this Court to be quashed. The London, Brighton, and SouthCoastCompany appealed to the Surrey Court of Quarter Sessions against a rate that had been declared by the parish authorities of Croydon, but that company subsequently abandoned the appeal, and in the absence of their representative the case came on at the Court of Quarter Sessions, and was dismissed with 1161. costs. Now, the practice of the Surrey Court of Quarter Sessions was not to grant more than 40s. costs, except where a notice had been given by the other side that an application would be made for costs oeyond 405., and as that course had not been followed here, the Company had determined to apply to this Court to quash the order for the payment of costs above 40s. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said it was clear the Justices had authority to awar4 the costs withounrevious notice. aue toe uompiny mu not choose to t he present wnen the appeal came on, it could not be said to be the fault of the Justices. Mr. WARRENGER then urged that the order requiring the Company to pay the costs was informal, inasmuch . as it was entitled, " Surrey to wit, at a G enera l C ourt o f Quarter Sessions held before our Lady Sovereign the Queen, at St. Mary's, Newington," and did not specify that it was a General Court of Quarter Sessions, in and for the county of Surrey. Mr. Justice CoLEHIDGE was of opinion that this objec tion could not be sustained, as the context of the order showed beyond all doubt that it was a Court of Quarter Sessions for the County of Surrey. Mr. WARRENGER then urged that the order was bad, in so far as it did not specify what the costs were for, but simply awarded the parish "costs, 1161." Mr. Justice COLERIDGE was of opinion that the term costs 1161, must be taken and construed in connexion with the other points of the order, specifying that the case arose out of an appeal to a rate, and that the appel lants had neglected to appear. Rule refused. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) THOMPSON V. WESLEYAN NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION. This action, which was tried the other day before Mr. Justice Maule, was brought on two bills of ex change, which were accepted by a person on behalf of the Wesleyan Newspaper Association. There were two issues in the case, one of which was found for the plain tiff and the other for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant TILFoURD now applied to enter for the defendant the issue which had been found for the plaintiff, and which was to the effect that the accept ances on the bills were not signed by the proper officer appointed on that behalf by the association. The Court granted a rule, and suggested that the subject should again be brought before the Court in the form of a special case. SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS Mr. Tyler opens his campaign at this delightful sum mer resort on Monday. Yesterday we were favoured with a private view of the gardens, and find, from the many alterations and improvements made, that Mr. Tyler must, during the recess, have been indefatigable in making his p reparations for the approaching season. The principal innovation upon the past, at least the one intended to be a fixture—for we must except the view of Rome —is an entirely new orchestra, which is placed much to the east of the spot upon which the old one stood. This edifice is peculiarly chaste in its architec tural character and embellishments. It is well mised, the several p arts are admirably balanced, and light which is diffused from el-gant and tastefully modelled chandeliers is so contrived as to assist the general artistic arrangements and give greater effect to its many claims to be considered one of the best constructed edifices for a like purpose which we know of. Th e exterior of this orchestra is the more worthy of notice from a portion of its embellishments consisting of some fine busts in Portland stone, of the four quarters of the globe and two statues, the one of Venus, the other of Adonis, which were discovered during the removal of an old manor-house at Peck ham, and said to have been in the grounds of that edi fice for a period of upwards of two hundred years. The statue of V enus i s well worthy the attention of the connoisseur and artist; its details are academic, and in parts severely classic. There is much beauty in the head an d great b re i dt h o f c hi se l, while the hands and feet closely adhere to the best and correcte s t schools. Th e fl es h i s pu lpy . and life-like withal, and the drapery m as t er ly. The male figure is not so much removed from •mere nature; it borders too closely upon the model, the blemishes of which are not refined. The site of " Rome," which is painted by Mr. Denson, covers a greater area than usually devoted to similar scenic effects here, the houses in the foreground being as large as ordinary ones. From the Castle of St. Angelo, by the aid of wire ropes some two hundred feet in length, a living figure of Perseus upon a chenal volaxt will be made to fly, the horse giving forth fire with its breath during its descent. The whole of the arrangements ap pear to be such that the recollection of no past season, we are led to believe, will be recalled in prejudice to the one to come. MRLANCWOLY ACCIDENT AT BLACRFRIARS BRIDGE. —Yesterday afternoon, three lads, named Edward Wil liams, Joseph Farthing, and John Rees, in the employ ment of Mr. Mott, of Poppin's-court, Fleet street, hired boat for the purpose of having a row on the river. Whilst amusing themselves near ‘Vatson's floating-bath. they ran against a barge, and the lads in standing up caused the bust to cant over, and in an instant the three parties were immersed in the river. Boats were imme diately put off to the rescue of the parties. Two of them being expert swimmers, they succeeded in keeping them selves from sinking until such time as they were picked up. The oth er un f or t una t e y ou th, Edward Williams, perished. The Rev.

(THIS DAY.) The half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of this railway was held this afternoon, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street; Mr. W. P. Richards, chair man of the board of directors, in the chair. The report, of which we give a short abstract, stated that the entire line from Bruges to Courtrai, a distance of about thirty-three miles, was in working operation, and the traffic yielded a return of 4001. per week, in cluding a small portion of goods traffic. This amount of traffic, although less than bad been calculated on, was considered as a fair result on the first opening. This was the state of things last year, and the directors re gretted to state that instead of the traffic increasing, as was then expected, it had rather decreased. The CHAIRMAN, on moving the adoption of the report dwelt at some length upon the disappointment the, directors had experienced in the falling-off of the traffic, but there was every prospect of the expenses attendant upon the working of the line being reduced, and when they met again, their report would no doubt be of a more favourable character. Mr. TINDAL ATKINSON moved, as an amendment, that a committee of inquiry, consisting of five share holders, be appointed to investigate the financial affairs and liabilities of the company, and to report thereon to a special meeting at* the shareholders. Atter a lengthened discussion, the amendment was negatived, and the report adopted by a small majority. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting terminated.

THE JOB AND POST-MASTERS, COACH PROPRIETORS', HORSE DEALERS' AND LIVERY STABLE KEEPERS' PROVI DENT INSTI l UTION. The fifth anniversary of this excellent institution was celebrated at the London Tavern last evening. The Hon. P. S. Pierrepont occupied the chair in the unavoidable absence of the Duke of Cambridge, who had promised to preside. Nearly 300 sat down to dinner. Among these present we observed Dr. Dickson, M. Higgins, Esq., Brice Pearce, Esq., .1. E. Murdoc, Esq., R. Tattersall, jun., Esq., F. Salmon, Esq., and G. H. Vandeput, Esq. His Grace the Duke of Richmond, and the Earl of March, M.P., who had accepted invitations, were una voidably prevented attending, by a recent domestic affliction. Grace having been sung, The CHAIREIAN, in apologising for the absence of the Duke of Cambridge, said he was afraid they would find him but a poor hack.—(No, no.) Well, he would do his best to discharge the duties—he would rather call them the pleasures of the evening—to the best of his ability.—(Cheers.) He then gave the toast of " The Queen," which was received with loud cheers. Her Majesty had a difficult task to perform, for she had to ride a political horse that was rather hard in the mouth—(Laughter)—but he hoped she would ride as she did at the present hour.—(Loud cheers.) He next gave " The Queen Dowager—the Queen of Hearts."—(Loud cheers.) In proposing, " Prosperity to the Institution"—a senti ment which was received with the loudest demonstra tions of applause—he said it would be nine years old in July, and that it must be extremely gratifying to its friends, and to none more than him, to observe its continued pro•Terity.—(Loud cheers) Since its establishment 7,59 IL ss. 6d. had been invested in the Consols.—(Great cheering.) Considering the state of the times, he thought the condition of the Lund afforded great cause for con gratulation: it had increased slowly but steadily, and be had no doubt the time was not far distant when it would rank amongst the most flourishing institutions in the kingdom.—(Loud cheers.) There was not a single charity amongst those with which the metropolis abounded—and what a glorious thing it was that it was so abounded—which possessed a greater claim upon their benevolence.—(Cheers.) It needed no elaborate pane gyric from him to induce them to drink with bumper: , , " Prosperity to the Job and Post-masters,' Coach Pro prietors', Horse Dealers', and Livery Stable-keepers' Provident Fund." The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm. Mr. Hicanis then proposed the health of the Chair man.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, announced that the Noble President, his Grace the Duke of Richmond would preside at the next anniversary. —(Cheers.) The following toasts were then given—" The Vice- Presidents;" "Mr. Tattersall, the Treasurer" (responded to by his son, Mr. Richard Tattersall, jun., who said his father deeply regretted not being present, as he always looked forward to that festival with a great deal of pleasure; and he and his father and family were desirous of doing all in their power to promote the interests of the institution); " The Stewards" (responded to by Mr. Deacon). Mr. W. T. Clark, the secretary, announced subscrip tions in the course of the evening to about 6001. Messrs. Hobbs, Francis, Kench, and Machin, sang several favourite songs during the evening. Mr. Harker was the toastmaster. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENCE WITH SUN, LONDON, MONEY and COIMERCIAL NEWS SPAIN Lord STANLEY rose to move for the production of the correspondence which had been published in the newspapers as a correspondence alleged to bare taken place between her liijesty's Government and the Government of Spain, a correspondenc e of which, he feared, the Government could not deny the authenticity. He should be glad to hear what the Government could urge in extenuation of their conduct. The Noble Viscount, to whose management the foreign affairs of this country were entrusted, appeared to be actuated by two motives; first, an exaggerated jealousy of the in... fluence of France, and, ,secondly, a morbid desire ref interfering and intermeddling in the affairs of other countries. He (Lord Stanley) did not consider it ad vantageous for the interests of this country, that it should be said that the dismissal of one Minister, or the appointment of another, in foreign countries should be brought about by the direct or by the indirect inter ference of this country.—(Hear, hear.) British influ ence was best upheld by abstaining from interfering with the internal affairs of any country, and more espe cially was that true with regard to Spain, the proudest country in the world. He knew of no Interest that this country had, except that other countries should be prosperous. Last session he had objected to the interference which had taken place in Portugal, and subsequent events had convinced him of the correctness of the opinions he had then expressed. He believed that France had had no intention of inter fering, and he thought that England might have pre vented the interference of Spain. In this session they had done nothing but interfere. In Italy they had had Lord Minto the presiding genius, who was " To ride the whirlwind and direct the storm." He was to be the person to control and moderate the violent spirits of Italy, to prevent the effusion of blood, to watch over the constitutional rights and the growing liberties of Italy, and to take care that those rights and liberties did not overpass the limits which they (her Majesty's Government) in their wisdom had assigned. What, however, was the result? Did they believe their influence in Italy had been increased? Could they point to any one part of Italy and say —even if that interference were proper, and it were competent for them to form a judgment of the limits to which Italian liberties ought to be carried—whether they had given to the people and Princes of Italy proofs of their power to calm or direct the storm which had been raised? He believed, and they had been told, that it was not the desire of her Majesty's Govern ment that the kingdom of the Two Sicilies should be separated, at least by civil war. He did not know whether it was material to British in terests that there should be one or two Parliaments in Sicily, or no Parliament at all, yet they had thought fit to interfere, and in the p resence of their mediation, and of their Ambassador specially accredited to all the sovere igns of Italy, w h a t h a d b een the result t h ey had obtained threeeitconstitution extorted from the Ki ng of Naples, a one of and liberal constituti on forsooth, of whi c h leading articles, edopted on the mediation and with the Minister, was, that within the sanction of a Bri tish . under this new and liberal Constitution , Pe no reli g ion , the Roman Catholic religion, should be tolerated. ..... g (Hear, hear.) Nor was that all ; for, in the presence of their Ambassador, the Sicilian people had revolted, and engaged in an apparently successful civil war, the last act of which was the deposition of their king. This was not done, ho presumed, by their advice, but it showed the extent of their influence. At Rome —to roam farther—the Noble Lerd was not accredited, con stitutional eifficulties standing in the way, for the re moval of which, however, they were told two months ago the immediate passing of an Act was necessary— even a week's delay in the removal of those obstacles could not be granted. But some change seemed to have come over the spirit of their dream, for, from that time, he had heard no more about the Bill which was then so absolutely necessary. But if the Noble Lord had not been accredited to the See of Rome, still it was said their advice and influence were exerted there. But how stood the case? They had thought that there should be no war between Austria and their faithful ally the King of Sardinia, and they had made a declaration to the former power, that any invasion on its part would not. be tolerated. He believed, for her Majesty's Go - ...airio. LSO so stated, that a similar declaration had been made to Sardinia. Yet it did happen that they had it special Ambassador in Italy, armed with all the influence of the British Government —that at that mo ment, and in the presence of their Ambassador, the King of Sardinia, the Pop e , an d t h e Grand Duku of ? Tuscany were actually engaged in an unprovoked invasion of a friendly power. There was the success of their inter vention in purely domestic and internal concerns. And did they believe, that while their advice was slighted in Italy, and their influence had failed in carrying their views into effect, they had established a feeling in the minds of the people of Italy, that would prove of advantage in their future political transactions with that country ? He believed that the greatest danger with which the pe ace , of Europe could be threatened was, that Austria should temporarily succeed in re-establishing her power o her Milanese dominions, for should she so succeed, it would not be to them, the mediators of the storm, and the rulers and comptrollers of tho liberties of Europe; it would not be them to whom the Italian people would have recourse in their strait; but to that Republican France which had not hesitated to declare her sympathy with oppressed nationalities; to her, and not to them, would the Italians turn for aid; and whatever popu larity they might have acquired from the Evvivas! and overtures of their Ambassador, that popularity would be found as evanescent as the words by which it was ob tained, and would be eclipsed by that of a power which had not hesitated to do what they !had shrunk from do ing.—(Hear.) I see in the correspondence to which I am about to call your Lordships attention, a continuance of the same system of interference in matters with which they had no concern; and recollecting the pride of the people with whom they had interfered, be thought tb ey were actually counterworking their own intervention and damaging their legitimate influence, and driving the people into the arms of the very power against w'riom they were interfering. Such interference was pecutiarty obnoxious to a country like Spain. If there was one man possessing mere of the pride and sensitive feelings of a Spaniard on the subject of foreign intervention and dictation, it was the very Minister to whom the Secretary for Foreign Affairs had thought fit to address that very short and pithy epistle to which he was about to call their attention. The Noble Viscount had not thought it necessary to use any circumlocution of language in that epistle, nor to preface the uemand which his Minister was instructed to make by any phrases which might have a tendency to make the subject of the letter appear less discourteous. On the 16th of March, in a letter from the Foreign-office (if that letter were genuine), the Noble Viscount used the following languaget—" I have to recommend you to advise the Spanish Government to adopt a legal and constitutional system. The recent downfall of the King of the French and of his family and the expulsion of his Ministers, ought to indicate , to the Spanish Court and Government the danger to vvh ich they expose themselves in endeavouring to govern a country in a manner opposed to the sentiments aid opi nions of the nation; and the catastrophe which has. just ottetto.-.ri in Franc? in sufficient to show that even a. nu merous and well-disciplied army offers only an insufli meat defence to the Crown, when the system followed by it is not in harmony with the general system of the country. The Queen of Spain would act wisely , in the pre faent critical state of a ff airs, if she were to strengt hen her Executive Government by widening the bases on which ' the Administration reposes, and in ca l l i ng to her councils some codenfi o r t ee the men in whom the Liberal party pl aces ~, He knew not what the country might think of that extraordinary p roduction, but the mor e he read he considered it, the more at lim e was it and the more in his mind—what imaginabl e mo tive he he to conceive or imag in e what possible vie w the Noble Viscount had had i actually in writi i t—or what effect, except t h at w hich it n p g roduced, he could have anti c i pated i ! OM it. lie k ne w not which most to admire, th e su bj ect 64, peen_ liarly domestic in which he had interfered, the. urge. me . n ts by which he supported his interference, or the tone in which the epistle was couched, unveiled ewes by the usual diplomatic paraphrases in which communica tions from the Foreign-office so generally abounded. If they considered the letter with reference to the position in which Spain and England at that moment stood, and the position in which the Ministry of Spain said our Secretary for Foreign Affairs stood to one sasother, there were circumstances which rendered such interfer ence—he was about to say indecent, but at Led events unfitting and improper. —(Hear, hear.) He must be permitted to carry them back to the period when nego tia,rions, at that time considered of peculiar imi urtance to the interests of Europe, were being carried on with reference to the mar riage of the Queen of Spain. At that period and be- Lore the Noble Viheuent succeeded to the adualgistra- !ion of the foreign aftitirs, there were in Spain two partie:, , , the one wore or less in the interest of Engianci, the other in the interest of Erance. At the monielt his Noble Friend (the Earl of ALerdeeii) quitted tho Foreign Office the most perfect harmony existed between the Goveinments of France and Englund on the subject he had named. He believed it his" Noble Friend .bad continued in office those negotiations would have termi nated to the perfect satisfaction of both countries; but unfortunately the Noble Viscount suc4eeded him, and from that moment (whether it was his fault or his mis fortune), instead of a mutual good understanding be tween the two countries, jealousy and misapprehension took its place.
