The Pictorial History of the Reign of George III.," in which the progress of Legislation, Institutions, Arts, Literature, and the Condition of Society in all its depart ments, as well as the progress of events, will be pursued as far as possible after the same plan. This will, in fact, be the History of the American and French Revolutions, and of the long and eventful war produced by the latter, in which, although it in volved all Europe, our own country, on the one side, bore the principal part, as France did on the other, blended with the history of a contest of parties and principles at home, also the most fiercely waged, and the most ennobled by brilliant displays of any recorded in the annals of the Constitution, and accom panied moreover by the history of an activity and advancement in commerce, manufactures, and every other field of peaceful industry and enterprise, making the social aspect of the subject vie in interest with the military and the political.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, Ib4l. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, JeN. 26. Parliament was opened this day by her Majesty in person, and the attendance of Peers was fully as numerous as on the occasion of the prorogation of Par liament in August last. The galleries and doors lead ing to the body of the House were thrown open at twelve o'clock, and before one o'clock almost every seat was occupied. Just before the arrival of her Majesty many of the front benches which had been re served for Peers were taken possession of by ladies, whom the attendants found it impossible to displace, and the space near the bar was also filled by persons who were unable to procure accommo dation elsewhere. Among the spectators in the right hand gallery was an Indian prince, whose Oriental costume excited much attention. During the recess the throne, footstool, and cfmepy, appear to have been regilt and decorated the steps were covered with a magnificent purple carpet, em broidered with a Norman rose ; and on the left of the throne was placed a splendid chair of State for his Royal Highness Prince Albert. Among the Peers who first entered the House were the Earl of Redesdale, Lord Portman, the Earl of Devon, the Bishop of Durham, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Marquis of Normt.nby, the Bishop of Rochester, the Earl of Clarendon, the Earl of Ripon, &c. The Ministerial bench was completely filed, and temporary seats weft placed in the intervals bet Ween the benches for the accommodation of those Peers v‘ho arrived rather late. Lord Melbourne, who appeared in his usual health and spirits, was the first of her Ma jestfa Ministers who entered the House, and conversed for some time with several of the Peers near hitn..be fcre he retired to join the Royal procession. The Judges took their seats on the cross-benebes im mediately in front of the Throne, and antong them were Lord Langdale, Lord Denman, Mr. Justice Littlodate, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr. Justice Patteson, Baron Maule, Mr. Justice Coltman, &c. In the diplomatic circle were the Austrian, Turkish. Russian, French, Prussian, Belgian, and other Ambas sadors, and the variety of costumes, decorations, &c,, ►endered this part of the House extremely brilliant and picturesque. His Royal Highness the Duke.of Cambridge nrrired shortly before two o'clock, and after conversing with+ several of the peeresses present, took his seat ,t the th of the Ducal Bench. At two o'clock the discbarge of cannon, a flourish of trumpets, and the ebeets of the populace, announced the arrival of her Majesty, and a buzz of expectation and excitement pervaded the immense assemblage in the body of the House, which was at this time crowded in every part. At a quarter past two o'clock her Majesty, preceded by the heralds and the great Officers of State, entered the House ; all the Peers and Pecresree rising and re maining standing until desired by her Majesty to be seated. The great Officers of State, including the Earl Marshal, the Lord Chamberlain, the Earl of Surrey, the Lord Chancellor bearing the Great Seal, the Duke of Somenet,bearing the Crown, Lord Melbourne, the Sword of State, and the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Cap of Maintenance, having taken their places on either side of the Throne, her Majesty directed the Usher of the Black Rod, Sir Augustus Clifford, to summon the House of Commons to the hr. His Royal Highness Prince Albert who ware a Field Marshai's uniform, entered with the Royal procession, and took his seat in the chair of State prepared for him on the left of the Throne. Her Majesty was attired in a robe of white satin richly embroLlered with gold, over which was the State mantle of purple velvet. She also wore a tiara, neck lace, and earrings of magnificent brilliants. Her Ma jesty appeared to be in the enjoyment of excellent health and looked extremely well. The Speaker, in his State robes, attended by an im mense body of Members, having appeared at the bar, the Lord Chancellor, on his knee, handed the Speech to the Queen, which her Majesty read in her usual clear and distinct manner. The introductory part was, with difficulty heard in consequence of the bustle and con fusion created by the over-crowded state of the House, and the anxiety of those in the back seats to obtain a view of the Throne and the distinguished personages in its immediate neighbourhood. HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, I have the satisfaction to receive from Foreign Powers assurances of their friendly disposition, 'and of their 'earnest - desire:to - Maintain peace. The position of affairs in the Levant had long been a cause of uneasiness, and a source of dan ger to the general tranquillity. With a view to avert the evils which a continuance of that state of things was calculated to occasion, I concluded with the Emperor of Austria, the King of Prussia, the Emperor of Russia, and the Sultan, a Covention intended to effect a pacification of the Levant; to maintain the integrity and independence of the Ottoman Empire ; and thereby to afford additio nal security to the peace of Europe. I have given directions that this Convention shall be laid before you. I rejoice to he able to inform you that the measures which have been adopted in execution of these engagements have been attended with signal success; and I trust that the objects which the contracting parties had in view are on the eve of being completely accomplished. In the course of these transactions my Naval Forces have co-operated with those of the Em peror of Austria, and with the Land and Sea Forces of the Sultan, and have displayed upon all occasions their accustomed gallantry and skill. Having deemed it necessary to send to the coast of China a naval and military force, to demand reparation and redress for injuries inflicted upon some of my subjects by the officers of the Emperor of China, and for indigni ties offered to an Agent of my Crown, I at the same time appointed Plenipotentiaries to treat upon these matters with the Chinese Go vernment. These Plenipotentiaries were, by the last ac counts, in negotiation with the Government of China and it will be a source of much gratifica tion to me, if that Government shall be induced by its own sense of justice to bring these matters to a speedy settlement by an amicable arrange ment. Serious differences have arisen between Spain and Portugal about the execution of a Treaty concluded by those Powers in 1835, for re gulating the navigation of the Douro. But both parties have accepted my mediation, and I hope to be able to effect a reconciliation between them upon terms honourable to both. I have concluded with the Argentine Republic and with the Republic of Hayti, treaties for the suppression of the Slave Trade, which I have di rected to be laid before you. GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, I have directed the estimates for the year to be laid before you. However sensible of the importance of adher ing to the principles: of economy, I feel it to be my duty to recommend that adequate provision be made for the exigencies of the public service. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, Measures will be submitted to you without de lay which have for their object the more speedy and effectual administration of justice. The vital importance of this subject is sufficient to ensure for it your early and most serious consideration. The Powers of the Commissioners appointed under the Act tbr the amendment of the laws relating to the Poor, expire at the termination of the present year. I feel assured that you will earnestly direct your attention to enactments which so deeply concern the interests of the community, _ . It is always with entire confidence that I recur to the advice and assistance of my Parliament. I place my reliance upon your wisdom, loyalty, and patriotism, and I humbly implore of Divine Providence that all your Coun cils may be so directed as to advance the great interests of morality and religion, to pre serve peace, and to promote, by enlightened legislation, the welfare and happiness of all classes of my subjects. Immediately afterwards her Majesty quitted the House, and the Royal procession returned in the same state to BockieTharn Palace. The House reseuicd it Five o'Clock, et which hour the LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woo!saek.. Lord BEAUMONT (late Mr. Myles - Stapleton, who has made good his claim to the dormant peerage of Beaumont), took the oaths and his seat. Viscount MELBOURNE laid the Convention en tered into between her Majesty and the Emperor of Austria, the Emperor of Russia, the King of Prussia, and the Su!tan, for the pacification of Turkey, on the table. The LORD CHANCELLOR then read her Ma jesty's most gracious Speech, during the reading of which Lord Brougham entered the House, and, walking up to the Conserv a ti ve s id e , shook hands with the Duke of Wellington, Lnd then took bis seat in his usual place. The Speeelt having been read, Lord DUCIE rose for the purpose of moving the Address. He said it appeared to bins that it had always been the eustom to FIX on the most inexperienced person in that Douse to move the Address in answer to the Speech from the Throne ; and on the prezent occasion the Noble Lord had certainly not shown himself a Reformer, but had adhered cicistly to the old custerneee(A laugh.) Fie hoped, however, that their Lordships would not show themselves Res: formers, by refusing to him that kind and courteous feeling which had usually been extended to those whel stood in the situation in which he ant at rresen&---e (Hear, hear.) it tat most gratifying to find from her Majetty's thost gracious Speech that she stil 1 continued to receive from Foreign Powers assurances 1 of their most ardent desire for the maintenance of peace ; and it was still more so to find that the first wish of her Majesty, and the first object of her Go vernment, v:as tti rnaintain that peace which was to tem - ilia] to the welfare and prosperity of this country, 'depending as it did so entirely upon the, extension of its manufactures and its commerce. But dear renal neese.eaery ae peace must be admitted to be, htiAttak.,,4atis,iled that their Lordshipt tirould be the last persons in the world to wish that England should lose that high position among nations which she must necessarily lose if she should be guilty of any culpable neglect of interfering in a casein which her interference would become neces sary, more especielly in such a eaec at that Which had re cently occurred, in which that interference had become necessary for the maintenance of the peace of Europe. He believed that the country owed a deep debt of gra , titude to tl e heads which had rilennedi and to the hand 4 which had so nobly hkecuted, that series of cpsra tions Which had ended so satisfactorily. With re gard to the expedition to China, he was glad to train frau the Speech that there was every probability of our differences with that eountry beine brought to it speck/ termination. Their Lordships should, however, recollect the dilatory nature of our Chinese friends. The occupation of Chusan, however, was, he thought, an event very much calculated to hasten their diplomacy. Events had taken place in India. tinee they last met teliith t`;ere calculated to forward the prosperity of this country, and to secure peace in that quarter of the globe. With regard to the legislative measures recom mended in the Speech from the Throne, it would be useless for him to debate upon them at any length, be cause they had both of them, he believed, in principle, already received the sanction of their Lord ship's House.—( Hear, hear.) Canada was no longer disturbed, am it was satisfactory to know that the Ca nadians seemed fully satisfied with the working of their rim Comitittitton. With regard to our doffiestie at fairs, we were at present in the enjoyment of quiet. Agri culture was in the most prosperous state, and manufac tures were rising from the depressed state in which they had been of late into that limited and uncer tain state of prosperity beyond which they could never rise so long as duties of a restrictive nature were continued, which rendered it impossible for any human foresight or precaution to prevent a recurrence of famine prices in articles of subsistence.- (Ironical cheers from the Opposition.) It was impossible that a large and extended field for commerce, on which this coun try depended, could be opened under these circumstances. Before proceeding further, he would cast a retrospec tive glance at the state of derangement of our com mercial affairs in the summer of 1839. This was owing to a contraction in the currency—to the second great breaking up of credit in the United States—to the state of our relations with China—to the blockade of the South American ports by the French, and to the uncertain etate of our negociations in the Levant. Since those affairs had been settled he hoped that such an alteration would take place in the commercial relations of this country as would produce a balance of payment in favour of this country, so that bullion would again return to the coffers of the Bank, and that the money market of London would be relieved from the pressure which now weighed it down, and front the advanced;state of in threat. which had been demanded for the last few years. That must prove a great relief to the internal ioeeeests of the country, because by it the banks would be enabled to afford that assistance to commerce which was necessary for its well-being. In addition to having those prospects of an improvement in the currency, he had also the satisfaction of congratulating their Lord ships on the hope and belief that many of those causes which had hitherto pressed upon the commercial interests were either removed . or were about to be removed. The settlement of the Syrian question had opened up Syria and Egypt to the spirit and enterprise of our merchants, and we might also hope that the influence England had obtained from the posi tion she had taken of late would produce an extended and profitable co mmerce i n those nat i ons . Th e ces sation of the blockade of the South American ports would again cause our commerce to be resumed with that people, and the recognition, the wise recogni tion would say, o f t h e large S tate o f T exas, h a d ope he neda large field for the enterprise of our commer cial community. The last reports from the Eastern Seas had given us every hope and right to believe that the differences existing with the Chinese Government would soon be arranged, and upon such a founda tion as to lead us to expect full indemnity for the past, security for the future, and a largely extended commerce with the immense population of that country. There was no spot more bright in the occurrences of the past year, nor one more worthy of congratulation, than the commercial conduct of the people of the United States.—( Hear, hear, hear.) From the magni tude of our commerce and our extended inter course, which took place between England and America, it was impossible but that the derangement of the internal affairs of the one must tell upon the other. The evil which had existed in America had passed away, and we had every reason to hope that that extended commerce would be resumed which had for merly existed to the advantage of both countries. He had already done justice to the proper and noble spirit of the American people, hut he would not pro perly discharge his duty if he did not call their Lord ships' attention to the punctuality with which they had, after so severe a pressure, met every en gagement.—(Hear.) They had set a good example to their neighbours in South America—(Hear, hear) —and indeed it was an example, which was not a bad one, for some of the older states of Europe.—(A laugh.) It was indeed pleasing to find that the general peace was not likely to be interrupted ; that was a matter of general congratulation, for any interruption of the general peace of Europe would be fatal to the best interests of the commerce of the country. It was but an act of justice on his part to call the at tention of their Lordships to the uniform success that had attended the efforts of her Majesty's present Mi nisters. They had now peace at home, and their nuns bad been victorious abroad.—( Hear, hear.) It had been said that that success was attributable to incidental circumstances, and not to the exertions of her Majesty's Ministry. He denied that such was the case. Peace at home had been secured by the strict enforcement of the law, and the results that had taken place in the East were attributable to the admirable policy that had been adopted by her Majesty's Fo- , reign Secretary.—(Hear, hear.) The birth of an heiress to the Throne of England was a source of great congratulation to every right-feeling English man, and the thanks of the country were due to the Almighty Disposer of Events for having secured an heir to the throne in a direct line.—(llear, hear.) He had no doubt, looking at all these circumstances, that their Lordships would unhesitatingly adopt the Address which he should now propose to their Lordships in answer to her Majesty's gracious Speech; The Noble Lord then read the proposed Address, which was almost an echo of the Speech. Lord LURGAN, in rising to second the Address, said that he felt conscious of his deficiency to do justice to a subject of such importance, and he trusted, there. fore, that the House would grant him its in dulgence, while he endeavoured to perform the duty which had been allotted to him. But, on the other band, he must request, that if he glanced but for a moment at the topics of the Royal Speech, or ran briefly and imperfectly over those great and interesting events which had that day been brought before them from the Throne, he would take courage because lie felt there was a strength in the case which had been put by the Noble Earl, the mover of the Address, which could not be impaired by the weakness of his advocacy. Yet he thought if ever men in the positions that might be occupied by himself and the Noble Earl were entitled to speak confidently, and to anticipate sanguinely, they were in that position, under the auspicious circumstances under which the Session had commenced. He wished he could state that any of those auspicious circumstances had diffused any of their bright beams through the nature and composition of the Address ; but proud as he was at having the honour of standing sponsor to the Noli!,. Lord's produc tioo; anima ve'ry promising production he fully anticipated all their Lordships, without exception, would pronounce it to be, and naturally disposed as he was to take upon ' himself that sort of after-birth paternity that was put on the secorders of the Address, still, with all his feelings of partiality for it, he confessed that he could not dis cover in it any of those sentiments that would have made it more agreeable to himself. —(Suppressed laughter.) The Address, like every other Address he had heard read in either House of Parliament, was, with one exception, which he was sure was present to all their Lordships' minds, and, he had no doubt, their Lordships' hearts—with the exception of that paragraph which touched on the birth of the Princess Royal—the Address was but a dull copy and ' spiritless echo of the communication from the Throne. —(A laugh.) He did not think the worse of it for that. It appeartd to him to be a good sign of the • state of the country, and to say something of the prac tical working of the constitution, when the Sovereign could so speak out in the face of day before the assem bled Parliament, as to draw forth a faithful response, ay, eVen an echo of the itatiments j in the answer. It seemed to him to say something for the position of the people, and the suitableness of the Govern meet, when the Parliament could so discharge its duty to the country as well as to the Crown, as to desire to send back nd bettet adsrter an the part of the people, than that which had been pat is !keit lips by the parental and constitutional suggestions of the Throne itself. Therefore the address was an echo of the Royal Speech, and he trusted that it would meet with their Lordships' unanimous and cordial approval. He must eay a fest words on that subject which was nearest to their hearts, and, therefere, the more ready to spring to their lips, and he could assure their Lordships that it .was with 'Jo ordinary satisfaction he had heard that paragraph in the responsive Ad dress, which • ureposeei Wee op 4o her Majesty the congtaidintion. fit, the tottntry upcm the birth of the Princess Royal. 'They had longed foe the oppore tunity of testifying in their united capecity the un feigned joy and thanksgiving,ehet it I4ed pleased Him in whose hands were life and death, to deliver the Queen front the perils of her situation and of her travail, and the nation's solicitude had neve given way to joy on ac count of that precious gift which was to perpetuate the succession to the throne of these realms. Same of their Lordships were present on that auspicious ocere teheti her Majesty, with so much feeling, wisdom, and expression, and ith such remark able appreciation of the virtues of the Vrince Consort, entered into that state of marriage which ac corded with the wishes and hopes of her faethful people. the maiti happiness to be found in that exalted position was based upon the practice of every virtue, and while they sympathised with the Royal parents in their domestic duties as dutiful and loyal subjects, they were prepared cordially to join with her Majesty's Ministers in that providential Act of Settlement, whileh, as far as man could see, educed the possession of the - throne to the pre sent family. Since they had last assembled in that House, their Lordships had passed through an interval of critical importance, and of the utmost moment .td that country and to Europe. He by no means intimated that the late nego tiations and transactions which had been carried on with respect to Egypt and Syria, had been carried on witheet the most imminent risk—nay, the probability of war—and the public journals of tie day might point cut to them how nigh that country had been to a war. But those who con ducted the ship best knew how to take it through the mist s and shoals, and the mazes— " Intritsate, euncentrie, intervolved"— of that line of policy and diplomacy which they had been obliged to resort to ; and he for one put his confi eence in that policy which had so successfully and honour ably carried that country through its difficult posi tion. He had the most perfect reliance upon the public men at the head of attain, who had conducted the vessel of the State prudently and properly to the singe at which they had nose articled. lie must also state, that, resting his belief on the common sources of information, and de riving his opinions from the outside seer of affairs, and altogether ignorant of the by-play and tinehersenrrent of these proceedings, he certainly had had eerioua appre hensions, and he could scarcely meet with so inconsiderate a being as one who could not he induced to think that the race of European peace was well nigh ran, and that the well of European peace was well nigh drained; and that the long friendship which had subsisted between that • country and the opposite side of the Channel sees almost at an end. He had almost dreaded the arrival of that day, and he had now the inexpressible delight of hearing, in the first part of her Majesty's Speech from the throne, the welcome end harmonious sounds, that her Majesty cons firmed to receive from all Foreign Powers the assurances of their unabated desire to be at peace with that country. He believed the crowned heads of Europe had a sincere desire for the reaintainance of peace. It any wisdom was to be derived from experience, it was that " War was a game ohich, were their subjects wise, Kings would not pley at." It was a fearful game to play at—it was a dreadful game to lose at. Hear, hear.) He had no slimettity atlases-es, therefore. in uttering his assent , to this sentiment in the Speech. It should, however, be remembered that it was said Kings would not play at war " were their subjects wise," and here was an interesting and impoi tent inquiry. He doubted not the gentlemen in the House of Commons would look sharp into the exi gencies of the public service. It was not from throned potentates, nor from the upper ranks of society, that they had reason to apprehend war now•a-days ; the question was, whether their subjects were wise, whether the people were sulliciently wise, instructed, and virtuous, to restrain those viselike instincts, and to keep front the rash mad ness of tire war party around them. All they could do for this end was to have their hopes arid prayers, and he certainly thought he heard similar sentiments in every direction. He thought surely his vision was not paltered with in a " double sense," and that he perceived the advent of the olive branch that had told him these days of strife were passed, and that :hey had reached the place of safety and peace, the waters having subsided. He believed that the glorious Minister of France to whom had been confided the reins of power had already done much for the im provement of the nation, and by the honesty of his pro ceedings he had maintained peace at home, the result of which would be to ensure it abroad. He therefore thought that this country had a well-founded hope that they would enjoy the bliss of peace. There might have been alter cations in past years, and they might still have them ; there might be aiarming appearances, but still lie had no hesitation in saying the peace of Europe would be pre served. He felt great pride and satisfaction at the valo rous achievements which had been effected by the British arms in Syria. He was sure that the best results for the whole of Europe would be secured thereby. He also could not but congratulate their Lordships that the British Nevy had again come to light, and that the wooden walls of Old England had shown themselves as strong as ever. He congratulated their Lordships that the 'British ships and crews under Commodore Napier had come up to Acre not only at the very nick of time, but at the nick of place.-- ( A laugh.) Much had been said about the arsenals of England being deficient in men and ships. Now what was the fact? Why the arsenals had proved themselves, notwithstanding all that had been said against 'them, per. fectly competent for every purpose for which they were wanted when required. Every ship had been fully manned, and no want of arms, men, or ammunition had been experienced. The crews and officers of our ships had done their duty, to the entire satisfaction of the Queen of England, and to the entire satisfaction of their grateful country. But he would discharge front his consi deration all doctrines of chances,or of dice,or of demonology. He had no trust in them, he trusted in nothing so whimsi cal, so capricious, or so deficient. Nor did her Majesty trust in them. Queen Elizabeth when her fleet was deli vered from enemies and from tempest, thought it no deroga tion from her victory, or from the exploits of her gallant subjects to attribute her successes entirely to God's protec tion, and so would one as great as she, be ever ready to acknowledge the great protection which bad been vouch safed to her, and to say God's providence bath protected me, so that mine enemies should not prevail against me. Throughout those eventful scenes nothing hadbeen more conspicuous than the high principles and the unimpeach able integrity and good faith of the British Government. The desire of promoting the public good and the general peace of the world, had been the distinguishing feature of all the words and actions of tile British Government. Throughout the whole of the negotiations on this Egyptian question, he would say there was no pre tence for any insinuation that England in putting forth her own power, or that of her Allies, had been influenced by any motives of territorial aggrandizement, whether as re garded Egypt or Syria, or Acre, or any other territory, or by any attempt or desire to add to the number of the British dependencies. Such an idea had never entered into the heads or the hearts of those who ruled this coun try, and if from all the documents that had been brought forward, from all that had been written on the question in this country or in Europe, such a thing could his made Imanifest, then would he admit that he was ignorant and presumptuous, and t hat the English in those negotiations had been intriguing and ambitious. The policy of the Government had been plain and distinct ; in all respects it had been followed out in sincerity, as the wisest and best course. With it there was no impossibility, and we had gathered into our granary the wonderful advantages result ing from a steady adherence to that principle in all our foreign affairs. He would state most unhesitatingly that if ever there was cause for congratulation—for national joy —for the success of British arms—it was now when our soldiers and our sailors had covered themselves with glory, Syria was rescued in one short campaign, yet our conduct had been forbearing—it was hoaest and straightforward towards the defeated party. All complaints had seemed to resolve themselves into a charge that the Government had departed front the policy of peace and non-interven tion which they had declared upon their assumption of office —that they hail interfered in the affairs of another country —and that Ly so doing we had been estranged from our ally France. But circumstances had rendered the inter vention not only expedient but necessary, and every exer tion had beers made to carry all Europe with us. The great majority of the Powers had gone along with us through every step of the negotiations, and this country had offered to make any sacrifice short of the principle of the whale question, in order to unite all Europe in the settlement of the cause.—(Cries of " Hear.") With respect to China he had, from the very first, approved of •the policy of despatching a naval and military force to the coast of China. The indignities and injuries they had sustained—the imprisonments and insults they had Inca PRICE sd. subjected to, were sueh as to excite :the indignation of the entire British nation, and the almost unanimous opinion ; of a cloud of witnesses coupled with a recorded opinion of the greatest man that ever lived, and, thank God, still lived, were all in favour of the expedition to the coast of China. He would not refer to the rnoderasien and for bearance that had marked the proceedings of that arma ment ; they had tempered their power with moderation to wards the defenceless people of A defenceless coast, and I it was no part cf the policy, although !hey drew the sword, to dispense with more peaceful agents. He trusted, as they had embarked on these waters, that their demands would be equal so the emergency of the case—he truated satisfaction would to demanded for all the insults and injuries that had been heaped upon them. He could net fur a moment believe, although such rumours had reached him, that any stipulations er treaties would he entered: 'rate, I and that eatisfretion for the insults offered td them tiit Chinese Government would be obtained throe h: the ' medium of a piece of parchment. He hoped at, would have some such security as they at I present held. The . whereabouts Lad been well chosen, but they might rely upon it that tire moment they reersed their grasp every thing they had done would be the resale as if it had not been done at all, and the hopes of the expedition would be miserably defeated and disap , pointed. The Noble Lord who had preceded him had touched upon many topics which he would otherwise have dilated upon, and little of these good things had been left for him to refer to. Upon a review of all these things, 1 he agreed there remained much to be done—winch to he handled with forbearance, delicacy and judgment, and much to be well done and done quickly. He would oh serve, however, that Continental peece had been pre served, and that was no small matter. Throughout all the contentions that had recently taken place, no ere that (meld excite the ill will of other Powers had been committed. If the Ottoman empire had been curved out into prizes for , enterprising warriors and avaricious statesmen, that might have lad to interaainable war with other Powers ; but he was not called upon to eerier into any such question as that. , lie had a not to dwell upon discomfitures and disappointmentz, er British failures and defeats; on the contrary, their Lordships had to commemorate signal successes. We had not failed in the Levant ; nor had we failed anywhere else, thank Gcd ; and that was the bill of fare for that evening.—( A laugh.) Their Lordships had now an opportunity of causing the hearts of the Royal parents to leap for joy when they to de up to her Majesv the congratulations of the country end of the Legislature upon the birth of her first-born, ° filling the bosom of the Queen of England with renewed pride and exultation. Tee) , had an opportunity of taking up to the Throne a manifestation of that loyalty on which hed Majesty relied with such entire confidence ; and under these circumstances, he would ask whether his anti&pa- • tions had been too eaeguine, when he expressed his belief • that the Address would meet with their Lordships' cordial and unanimous approval ? Lord BROUGHAM did not rise for the purpose of debating the various matters in which his Noble Friend who had just sat down had embarked, but merely for the purpose of calling the attention of the liour-e to some of the statements he had made. Although lie was quite aware that an Address in answer to the Speech from the Throne in no way whatever pledged those wile agreed to it to any proposition contained in it, yet as it was apt to I be forgotten in the after part of the Session, he felt bound to remind their Lordships of it. Tney would dis pense with his protesting against a large portion of the speech of his Noble Friend who had just sat down, but there was one part to which he was compelled to advert, because he would that he could believe the statements of his Noble Friend were authorised by her Majesty's Government. His Noble Friend had congratulated their Lordships, as well he might, upon the Crown having received unabated assurances from all foreign rowers of their disposi tion to maintain the most friendly relations with this country; that, however, was not in her Majesty's Speech of that day.-4 Hear, hear, from Lord Lyndhurst.) ! It was in the Speech of last year, but it was ,not in that of the present. The comparison of those two Speeches sug gested to his mind matter of gloomy apprehension, which would be dispelled at once if his Noble Friend at the head of her Majesty's Government would repeat that which had been stated by his Noble Friend who had seconded the Address. He should rejoice, no man more so, if it could he shown that the words in the Speech of last year were appliretile to the present, namely, that assurances bad been race:easd of the unabated desire of the French Go. • rernment to maintain with this country the most friendly relations. Tnis led hire et once to state that those things which took place within the lost six months, and which • were preparing for some months preeceding the proroga tion of Parliament, naturally filled his mind with I deep and gloomy apprehension. It was a tre mendous thing to refleet that the friendly dis positions had been changed, that the good an. I deretanding had been impaired, that the alliance of ten years ' standing had been terminated—at least for the pre. sent—which had knit together England and ?enlace, and which by binding them in the habits and feelings of arnica ble intercourse, had secured the peace of Europe and the world. It sass a grievous thing to have to reflect that the wo:k of slaughter in ono part of the world had already commenced, and that they were engaged, he would nut l say in a war that would have no triumphs, and which had already had none, but in wars -which ended in triumphs of such a nature as to dash the exaltations of this country with feelings of a far different nature. it wes possible that all this might be defensible ; but if defended with success, if capable cf justification, it must be upon grounds not of any mere policy, or interest, or expediency—it i must be upon grounds approaching upon necessity, upon I dangers not remote and contingent, but all but immediate. I It was upon such grounds, and such grounds alone, I that those things could be justified, and the policy which had been adopted, defended. An opinion had at various ' times prevailed in this country, nail it had been greatly reinforced of late years, and very winch added to by re- cent events, tout in wlaich he had never concurred, that the best policy for this country was to keep herself aloof from' i all connection with foreign affairs, to take no more con cern in the proceedings of foreign powers than our brethren of America, that we should trade with all, and treat all powers in a friendly manner, so long as our interests were respected arid our flag not insulted. He wished it were possible the, from our position, and frem;the nature of human affairs, such a policy as that could be pursued. He considered it impossible, but there was a wide difference between never interfering at all, and be tween incessant interrneddling—hetween shutting ourselves up in our in:ular position, as if we were divided by the Atlantic and nut by the mere Channel, and nicking our selves everywhere present, and perpetually intriguing. fie did not wish to be offeisive; therefore, he would say ne gotiating,; but always meddling everywhere, as if our exist ence were extended throughout the whole Continent, and that it formed part and parcel of the British dominions. It was of that excess that he complained, and ever would complain. The negotiations of the last six months made it appear as if inert and Ministers thought that the capital of the Turkish empire was the capital of this country--as if Syria were Ireland. There was no• thing more wide of the question then under discussion than the conduct of Mehemet Ali--that conduct was repre• seated according to the interest of the parties making the representation. Sometimes lie was represented as an in dependent Sovereign, at other times as the mere vassal of the Sultan; again it was stated he was powerful, and his resources great; or on the contrary, that he was weak and vacillating. Whatever his resources were was not now the question ; in late events, however, he had shown they were not now so great as they were in 1832. But what was the avowed object of all these proceedings for which so great a risk had been run in that quarter where the peace of Europe hinged, and which had put an end to the alliance between France and England ? He found that it was to maintain the integrity of tire Turkish empire. Since when had we begun to think it absolutely and indispensably necessary to consult for nothing but the independence and integrity of the Turkish empire? Was it in 1827, when Russia, in defiance of the rest of Europe, determined by a cele brated Treaty to destroy the independence turd inte grity of that empire? Was it in 1830 or 1831, when with the assent of Russia, we joined with her and other Powers to dismember the Turkish Empire by taking from her a large and valuable portion of her territory. There was no doubt—no hesitation, except about the amount of the territory which should be taken—the amount of the en croachment which should be made upon the Turkish Empire. In 1839 they had offered the Pacha himself Egypt, the most valuable of the Turkish provinces, in hereditary sovereignty. That was not all —in October 1839, they not only offered hint Egypt, but they en croached upon Syria, that very ground of contention— they had offered him the Pachalic of Acre without the fortresses. Now they would not allow him to have it.— ( Hear, hear.) In May 1840, they had offered him the Pachalic of Acre with the fortresses, but for life ; but the difference between the hereditary government and that for life was a trifle which he would not detain their Lord. ships upon. The independence of the Turkish empire was an object of so much importance that, fur it they were to give up the alliance and friendship of France, and, with the remeant of the Holy Alli ance, to secure that integrity and independence—an ob ject so absolutely necessary to be secured that all other considerations were of no value as compared with it. To secure that, the real and Prue basis of any there could be for the peace of Europe, namely, n a good understanding and alliance between France and id E ere g t l i ar., solid foundationd was to be placed in jeopardy. It had been considered ne cessary for the rake of keeping peace some y t hence, present, Levant as that they should run the risk of going to war• and to arrange matters in such way in the h would prevent the Turkish empire from falling a State towhich pieces. Talk of preventing frern falling to pieces in a complete state of decay and dismemberment,even .with ' the most chime. the assistance of Russia, appeared to him rival object that could enter into the brain of a ir y man. Suppose the Government of Syria was restored to th e Porte, and taken from Me hemet Ali, what guarantee had they that the Government of the one would be more popu lar than that of the other ?—( Hear, hear.) Di d they sup pose that, having ruined the Syrians, they would not retain and use these arms against any other opponent ? Those who entertained no such opinions took a much more san euine view of the matter than he (Lord Brougham) did, and it was absurd to suppose that au undisciplined, untutored m ob would, at the word of command, take up and lay down their arms. But then again let them only perceive how the a rgument was used: Danger was apprehended. To provide against that danger was the object of the endeavour to keep the Turkish empire together—keep it together they could not say with any correctness, but to renovate, to re form it—to put it together again when it had already been broken to pieces by time, by its own hands, by other hands AgioRNING EmtnoN. . .-- - . eve--,--- --- . ..e. __see_ than its own, and then the hand of time; Held among those / other hands by human hands, wad the hands of theirpretent ally and confederate, Russia, which had mare constantly, powerfully, and successfully aided in the operation of pull lase the Ottoman empire to pieces, than all other hands-- lit: own included—put together. It was by reforming it dal; it had thus been taken to pieces that they were to ward against future contingencies and possible danger. Now Its` teem come at once to what that danger was, be cause it es hould not be mere danger to Turkey, for that would not no. That was no argument for interfering in any way, aCCOrding to any doctrine of the balance of power ; that Nas snhootulda be s a ufficiendtauggerrounwdhioohf l tcrference ; thcrd . im plied . a rick to ()the. , countries, to the peace of the world, to the safety of nations. Now, that danger was nothing more nor less than this. It was a danger to be apprehended from Russia herself. But if Turkey got enfeebled, if Mehemet Ali were left in possession of Egypt, and if to Egypt were added Syria, out of which the difficulties arose, it must be that because Me hemet Ali's being possessed of Syria would enable him to proceed further, to pass the Taurus and then the Bos phorus, and reach Constantinople. This would entitle Raaain to come down as a protectress, whiles her object was to take a share of the dominions of the. Porta in addition to that large share which she already possessed. That was the reasoning on which alone the rupture with France avas to be defended. It was certainly straagr, , that of all the Powers in the world 51:e very Power 1 against whom that policy was di rec t e d s h ou ld b e a consenting party to at. There was an old saying, that if you wanted to find out the author of any .set - , you I bad only to find out the party who beeefited - by h..—( Hen.) Let thorn apply the converse of that rule in the present instance; and they would find that Russia me". have taken a very steange part in the late, proceedings. Taking the subject altogether, they should. say that whatever might have been the triumphs in the. Levant. Russia must have gained from the policy pursued, and been better than before it. He could convince them Russia could gain a less immediate, but certainly an in comparably greater benefit—he would not say in the long , run, hut at no distant tiny—by keeping the Turkish em i pire for a short space together, and by being deprived of a. 1 pretaxt for interfering with her protection, to which, in European policy, the natural consequence whiah followed ace partition. What made Constantinople forbidder, grouted ? What rendered it hcaieless for Russia to turn her eyes towards Turkey? Nothing but the alliance between France and England. The one o;ajettt which was pursued by Russia more than any other was, that that alliance should cease, and that there should be substituted for the good understanding which had so long happily prevailed, the angry if not hostile feelings which: were now openly manifested on both sides. To gain that object at any sacrifice of temporary interests, was worth all the successes whiCh her arms or negotiations , could pro cure for her in any other way ; unhappily in that she had succeeded. Ile had no confidence that the present state of things, unsatisfactory as it was, would be of very long duration. The alienation which had for a long time sepa rated France from Russia, and which was partly of a per sonal nature, might he removed. The public spirit which. had lately possessed the ambitious Court of St. Peters lairgh, and induced that Power to exert itself in maintain ing the iategrity of the Turkish empire, might be expected to give way to older and more; steady feelings, to the indulgence of which there was not stow the barrier which the English and French alliance before presented. Bat it was said that England had been induced to adopt the re cent policy in the Levant, to prevent France from seizing upon Egypt, upon which she had an ceee for the last hall century, and to which she was creeping along the coast of Spain. But whether was France most likely to pursue that object, in alliance with England ?—or when separated from England and thrown into the arms of Russia? What security had they that those two Powers, iefloenced by those VICW3, would not come together and accomplish those purposes, much more after they had ceased to be She ally of France? To the talents and ability of h's Noble Friend in the other House, displayed in these negotiations, he war as ready as any one to do ample justice ; thonealt to him (Lord Brougham) who had had experience of thee powers of his Noble Friend in business, in negotiation, and: in all the departments in which he could be called upon to act, there was only admiration of his address and his states manlike powers—there was no surprise, no novelty. But he would give him every credit for the execution of this Treaty which it was possible to give him ; admitting that his adversary the French Minister was completely ira the wrorg, it was beside the question; he might be com pletely in the wrong, and yet the policy of his Noble Friend might be as entirely wrong too. It did not at all follow that the country of the one had not a right to corn-. plain of that policy, because the country of the other might have great and good cause to complain against Ministers. Before he closed his observations he might be permitted to make one remark. In God's name do not let it be sup posed that the people en this side the water had for one instant felt indifferent to the evils, which had been threat ened, of a war with Fraece, or to the great blessings of rnai training peace with that nation, It might be said that there had been no demonstration to that effect, but this he could account for. They never believed it possible—the idea, as a practical notion, had never entered their imagi nation: If they had been once told that they were on the brink of a scar with France he believed nearly the whole people—he was confident the great majority of the people —lie knew for certain that an overwhelming majority of the working classes end the middle classes, and all the Liberal party, as they were called, of this nation, without roe exception, would have risen up as one man, and said to the Government, tne peace with France shall not be broken, come what will.—( Hear, hear.) Then, likesrieg, another reason why no demon stration had been _made was this—it was a reason why other demonstrations were suppressed too. The Noble: Lords opposite were not a! the head of affairs; the friends, of peace, the patrons of the French alliance, the leaders of the Liberal party were. Tie natural allies of that al- liance, if he might call them so, the friends of pacific •po- liey, the enemies of a rupture witfe France unless reduced to a T r ; y , t e h r d e e er. w l to it by ab so l u t e necess ity, were p r eveatted from making causeoasn s demonstra tion another rr w f h r, i ei c oa h os do they haeoyd which thought leaders operated,i o m cht Government be e i C) j llr i o I l S . a nd perhaps a more justifiable one, in his opinion a reasoo which did them the greatest possible credit—it was, that at public demonstration might possibly be productive of the most danacroua cousequences. When they saw the bad steirit which prevailed on the other side of the Channel, the pains and the means which were so unscrupulously' employed to foment it, and to produce the worst possible feeling of national animosity, and the most deter mined opposition to the continuance of peace, these reasons had operated necessarily to prevent a pub.... lie demonstration. This was not mere speculation,' he knew it to be the fact that they had been used. It was thought that as they were ignorant of the precise nature of the negotiations which were in progress, and that word the sword once drawn, no man could tell how long it would` be before it returned to the scabbard, it would be impru dent to risk injuring the cause of peace by snaking a de monstration which all their feelings, all their wielice, would otherwise have lcd them to make. Let not his Noble Friends in the Government, then, suppose that this feel ing did not exist, that this opinion did not prevail, and take up a firm and deep hold upon the minds of the people. Do not let them imagine that if peace ;had been broken, or had even been put in real peril of proximate rupture,. the c would not have been such a sensation all over: the country, such an unanimous feeling of repro bation among those who were the friends of peace and alliance with France, as would have made it im possible that that policy should have been pt rsisted in. Most undue means had been taken for bad purposes by un sesupulons men in France to take advantage of the popu lar excitement there, and propagate an unfriendly feeling sgsinst the alliance of that country. He hoped and trusted that these nice were few, that the proselytes were: not numerous, ard they would fail, as they well deserved. He lamented the proceedings, both in the circumstances and manner in which the alliance, which had occasioned the rupture with France,- had been carried on. He la mented the mariner in which it had been executed, and the want of courtesy that had been shown towards France.. Even that illustrious man, upon whom his Noble Friend w:Ao had seconded the Address had pronounced a panegyric —3l. Guizot, even he, with all his dispositions in favour of an alliance with that country, had complained of the discourtesy with which France had been treated. In France they had a nation exhibiting the greatest quali ties—a people known to possess the greatest genius, the highest courage, and the utmost military skill and charac ter; while, combined with these feelings, they might sec a nation " Jealous of honour; sudden and quick in quarrel," and that people having their destinies committed to a man oft he greatest power and genius.

No one had ever dreamt of humbling France. The truth was, her humiliation could only arise from the unrestrained indulgence of those pas- SlOll3 which agitated, as during the first Revolutions a part of her population. He hoped, however, the designs of such men would be frustrated. He felt a confider.cer in the high spirit and manly feeling of the French Govern ment—in their consciousness of their own power—in their certainty that they must ever command respect—in their fearlessness that any one could treat them with disrespect a and, trusting that those feelings might be universal among the French people, and that their amicable relations to wards this country might be revived, he would conclude by expressing a fervent hope that all that had been done, much as he deplored it , would not endanger the peace of the two countries, and the tranquillity of Europe. Lord AI la LBOURNE said that before that debate had begun he certainly did anticipate, and he still hoped, alter what had fallen from the Noble Lord, that their i Lordships would come to a unanimous vote on that ocea i sion. But he could not anticipate that, considering the i great events which had lately taken place in the East, and i the nature of the policy on which they were founded, that those events and that policy would be passed over by . that House in silence. lie was not-surprised, therefore, i at what had fallen from his Noble •and Learned Friend s (Lord Brcughani) in the speech which they bad jl.lst, ;II nd its io- try rer ure .1 ) 11 0 e be ,a itcl of ^ 10 11 01° 0 011 10 - ~, i 1 t o , . o°' 10 , if f f ,
