E V ENING D ETION but two or three supporters in the House. However hum ble the anticipations of the Honourable Gentleman, after the speech of Lord Palmerston, who • not only vindicated, with his usual ability, the broad principles of our Levant policy, but left even no objection of detail unanswered, the result would have merely afforded a confirmation of them. Under such circumstances, to abstain from divid ing was only common prudence. (From the 7'imes) The Duke of Wellington, after complimenting the Noble Mover and Seconder cf the Address upon the talent for debate they had displayoS, expressed his approval of the course of foreign policy which had been adopted. He had long viewed with anxiety the dangers that were likely to result from the state of affairs in the Levant, and he rejoiced to think that those dangers would now he averted, and that France would join with the other Powers in carry ing out measures to secure the continuance of peace. He bad heard a great deal of the alliance between England and France, but he knew of nothing more than a professed un deratandiws" when consulting en points of general inte r est t o Europe. The two countries had frequently acted in con cert, but they had also frequently acted otherwise, and with out either taking offence at the course the other might think proper to pursue. As to the late negotiations, he had attended carefully to the whole course of proceeding, but he could discover nothing which France could construe into a cause of offence—he saw nothing upon which a difference with France could be grounded ; nor could he discover any fault which had been committed on our part. He did not think that the charges which a Noble Lord (Brougham) had brought against Russia were sufficiently made out; nor could he assent to the motives which had been ascribed to that Power. With respect to what had been mid as regarded the excitement which was stated to prevail in this country for the preservation of the peace of Europe, he would say, for the satis faction of the Noble Lou near him, tiho perhaps had not the same opportunites of information which he had, that neither his Ncble and Learned Friend (Lord Brougham), nor any other man living, had done half so mull as the individual who addressed them for the main tenance of peace, and, above all, for the adjustment of any question in which the honour of France, and her position amongst the Powers of Europe, were more immediately concerned. He had acted with that view under the instruc tion of the Government with which he had been connected since 1814, up to the last moment in which he had the honour to be employed in the service of his King. He had done everything in his power not only #,opreserve the peace of Europe, and cement a good understanding between this country and France, but also to place France where she ought to be in the councils of Europe, for he felt convinced that if France were not so placed, there could be no well-fcuntled hope for the peace of Europe, or for a just and sound decision upon any subject of General European policy. He 'trusted that France would b 3 reconciled to the arrangements that Lad been made in the Eastern question, and nothing would give him greater satisfaction than to see her as a conse quence restored to the place she ought to hold among the nations of Europe. (Front the _Morning Post.) The Dake of Wellington's speech was of a nature that will give it an European interest. The earnest desire ex pressed by his Grace that France should still retain her position in the great family of nations, and his professions of friendship and good-will towards the French Govern ment and people, cannot but have the effect of convincing both that the moat distinguished man of the age is anxious that France and England should always remain on those terms which ho believes essential to the security of the general tranquillity. (From the Morning Herald.) We have only _time to direct attention, in an especial manner, to the remarkable speeches delivered last night, by the Duke of Wellington and S t ir Robert Peel. Every true lover of peace and the best interests of his native country, whether he be Englishman or Frenchman, must rejoice to find that the great captain and statesman of his time not only declared his unabated desire to main tain friendly and cordial relations between France and England, but insisted that it was necessary to the repose of Europe that France should maintain her just rank in the scale of European councils, and that every courtesy in this respect should be paid to her. The Noble Duko took occasion to affirm, that no man had done as much as he had to uphold those amicable relations between these two great Powers. In the House of Commons, Sir Ro bert Peel enforced, with remarkable earnestness, his own feeling that the omission of all mention of France, in the first paragraph of the Royal Speech, was . injudicious and discourteous to her. It must be gratifying to our friends on the other side of the water, to observe the amicable and disinterested spirit in which the Conservative leaders have expressed themselves on this occasion. If anything can remove the senseless prepossession which exists among the Parisian public, of an intense hostility to France pervading the English people, this demonstration will scarcely fail to effect that object. floss THEIDAILY PAPERS OP YESTIRDAY.) (From the Globe.) The Tories, who oontinually taunt the Ministry with accepting Radical support, are themselves eager to avail themselves of assistance, come from whatever quarter it may. The Post has been puffing an obscure pamphlet, the author of which avows his object to be a Tory Government as a means of Reform ; and the Times has drawn forth from the waste-paper basket, petition from the Glasgow operatives, which would have produced wonderful effects if it had not been pre sented so late in the last Session. This curious docu ment, we are told," was consigned to Sir W. Follett, who being prevented from attending to present it him self, transferred it to the no less worthy guardianship of Sir Frederick Pollock, either of which eminent men would have done ample justice to its topic's, if an opportunity could have been found for tilt hearing." Of this extraordinary petition, intrusted to two such sound Reformers, one of the allegations cited by the Times is, ." That her Majesty's Waisters found the co lonies of North America in a state of tranquillity; and that they brought them inte, one of insurrection." It may be Lard to require From the Glasgow operatives, or from the Conserrative young gentlemen of its far famed University., a knowledge of ancient history ex tending so far 'oack as 1830. But the proposition that Canade was in a more tranquil state Mtn it is now, weld have been somewhat difficult fur the two ir.genious lawyers to maintain. There is, how eVrr, another complaint—" that the Ministers have Suffered the decay of the strength of Britain in her navy—that the shores of England are un protected—and that other Powers are now enabled to insult the country with impunity, and to endanger its existence !" This part of the petition affords a striking proof of the power of reiterated falsehoods on that por tion of the nation, which possesses no other mans of information of such matters than is derived from reading such journals as the Times. The Glanc.v operatives, of course, knew nothing of the state of the bevy than what they read in the newspapers. Some of those, led by the Times, had been writing for three or four years on the inefficiency of the navy ; and on their authority the petitioners believed that Brighton would be bombarded, and a French or Ru , sian fleet would sweep the Thames, like Van Tromp 1 It is well that those who had the management of affairs ia France did not attach the same importance to these statements ; but it is not surprising that the French papers should copy, and that the French populace should believe, them. It was quite natural that the fall of Acre should be ac counted for as effected by the influence of English gold, when the journals of an important party insisted upon our inability to use any other metal ; and the confi dence with which some of the French sailors arc said to have spoken of just fetching the British fleet into Toulon, would have been no mere than reasonable, had there been any foundation for those impudent asser tions which the Times calls " melancholy and disho nourable truths ;" and from which it says " the peti tioners came legitimately to the conclusion, by praying that your Honourable House will address her Majesty to dismiss from her councils such dangerous advisers." (From the Standard.) If the opinion of the people of Paris be adopted in regard to the fortification question, it is not unrea sonable to expect that their ambition to make w.ir upon their neighbours will in due time be adopted, howmer contraW to reason and justice, by Ministers, as deferential to popular fallacies as Marshal Soult. The speech of Marshal Soult seems to be considered in Paris as likely to create another ministerial crisis, but we have no such apprehension ; since, although he has attempted to vindicate the coo. *latency of his military opinions, he has, to all intents and purposes, supported the delusion of the hoar. It was in vain that M. de Lamartitee and other members of the Chamber repreanted that the safe guard of a nation consists in the 4ilrit and gallantry of its population, rather than in stone walls, and that when th e f ormer f a il t h e l a tt er p ro ve of little use. The project in all its naked absurdity is still likely to be carried out ; although Marshal Soult astutely recom mends that the forts on the heights shall be first com pleted! (From the Courier.) The Chronicle this morning favours the public with an early edition of her Majesty's Speech from the Throne, that. is to be, substantially such we presume as rehearsed by Lords Melbourne and John Russell be fore the sele ct coteri e of sub-officia:s cong r eg a t e d at the two ministerial festive. boards last evening. Of course, as we are informed, foreign affairs will oc cupy the larger shire of the Speech, as they do in the Chronicle, where th e y t a k e up three-fourths of the article. Our Contemporary ring s th e c h anges upon Russia, Prussia, Austria, and Turkey, very much in the style and with the airs ani_graces of th e ga l ant i show man, who chants his chikl7n s inv ite to th e won d ers of his painted pasteboard regalityin such euphonious strains as " Herd you'll see the King of Prussia Drinking tea with the Emp , ror hassle." All the difference between the two showmen con sis t s i n the more me l o di ous vers ifi ca tion with which the m usic grinder ush ers i n hi s news , an d which tells so pleasingly when contrasted with the dull, dry prosaics of the morn ing hurdy-gurdy. Th severe frosts and heavy falls of snow will prove most beneficial to the growing crops, should no sud den and great change of temp erature take place.

Parliament was open Al 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 Mgj::sty 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 au Indian prince, whose Oriental costume excited much attention. During the recess the throne, footstool, and c loopy, 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 Normanby, the Bishop of Rochester, the Earl of Clarendon, the Earl of Ripon, & c . The Ministerial bench was completely filled, and temporary seats were placed in the intervals between the benches for the accommodation of those Peers who arrived rather late. Lord Melbourne, who appeared in his usual health and spirits, was the first of her Ma jesty's Ministers who entered the House, and conversed for some time with several of the Peers near him be fore he retired to join the Royal procession. The Judges took their seats on the cross-benches im mediately in front of the Throne, and among them were Lord Langdale, Lord Denman, Mr. Justice Littiedale, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr. Justice Patteson, Baron Manic, 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, &e., rendered this part of the House extremely brilliant and picturesque. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived shortly before two o'clock, and after conversing with several of the peeresses present, took his scat at the top of the Ducal Bench. At two o'clock the discharge of cannon, a flourish of trumpets, and the shouts 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 Peeresses 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 Somerset, 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 bar. His Royal Highness Prince Albert who wore a Field Marshal'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 embroidered 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 satisfaxtion 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 bad long been a cause of rineasiness, 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 be able to inform you that the measures which have been adopted in execution of these engagements have been attended with s i gna l 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. Haying deemed it necessary to send to the coast of China a naval and military force, to demand reparation and redress fir 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 C rown, I at the same time appo , inted Pl en i potent i ar i es to treat upon these mat tern with the Chinese Go vernment. These Plenipoter.tiaries were, by the last ac counts, in negotiat ion with the Government of China ; and it be a source of much gratifica tion to me, if thiAGovernment shall be induced by its own sense of justice to bring these matters to a speedy settlement by an amicable arrange ment. Serious differt2nces 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.

GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, I have directed the estimates for the year to be laid heibre you.

My LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, Measures will be suimitted to you without de lay which have for - their object the more speedy and effectual administration of justice. The vital importance of this s abject is sufficient to ensure for it your early and, most serious consideration. The Powers of the Commissioners appointed under the Act for the amendment of the laws relating to the Pow., expire at the termination of the present year.

House, and th e Immediatel y a f terwards her M a j es ty qu itt e d th e Royal procession returned in the same state to Bu c ki ng h am PaJam The House remmed It Five o'Clock, at which hour the L ORD C HANCI:LLOIt took his seat on the W oo l sac k . 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 Sultan, for the pacification of Turkey, on the table. The LORD CH.ANCELLOR then read her Ma jesty's most gracious Speech, diving the reading of which Lord Broughamentered the House, and, walking up to the C onservat i ve side, shook hands with the Duke of Wellington, and th en took his scat is his usual place, The Speech having been read, Lord DUCIE rose for the purpose of moving the Address. He said it appeared to him that it had always been the custom to fix on the most inexpeienced person in that House to move the Address i❑ aeSwer to the Speech from the Throne ; and on the present oecas . on the Noble Lord had certaitily not shown himself a Reformer, but had adhered close! to the old custom.—(A laugh.) He hoped, however, that their Lordships would not show themselves Re formers, by refusing to him that kind and courtemrs feeling which had usually been extended to those whel stood in the situation in which he was at present.— ( Hear, hear.) It was most gratifying to find from her Majesty's most gracious Speech that she std continued to receive from Foreign Powers assurances 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, was to maintain that peace which was so essential to the welfare and prosperity of this country, depending as it did so entirely upon the extension of its manufiActures and its commerce. But dear and necessary as peace must be admitted to be, he was satisfied that their Lordships would 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 case in which her interference would become neces sary, more especially in such a case as that which had re cently occurred, in which that interference hail become necessary for the maintenance of the peace of Europe. He believed that the country owed a deep debt of gra titude to the heads which had planned, and to the hands which had so nobly executed, that series of opera tions which had ended so satisfactorily. With re gard to the expedition to China, he was glad to learn from the Speech that there was every probability of our differences with that country being brought to a speedy 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 since they last met which were 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, and it was satisfactory to know that the Ca nadians seemed fully satisfied with the working of their new Constitution. With regard to our domestic af 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 w.:‘,re continued, which rendered it impossible for any human foresight or precaution to prevent a recurrence of famine prices in articles of subsistence.—(lronical 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 state of our negotiations 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 from the advanced state of in terest which had been demanded for the last few years. That must prove a great relief to the internal interests 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 commerce in those nations. The 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 he would say, of the large State of Texas, had opened a 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 that which had been put in their lips by the aarental and constitutional sugsest;ous of the Throne itself. Therefore the address was an echo of the Royal Speech, and he trusted that would meat seH! their Lordships' unanimous east eerdial approval. II must say a few words on that stib'eci - which was ncaree Lo their hearts, and, thereire, the more ready to spvirse to their lips, and he could assure their Lordships that it was with Lc) ordinary satisfaction he had heard that paragraph in the responsive Ad dress, which proposed to take up to her Majesty the congratulation of the country upon the birth .if the Princess Royal. They had longed for the oppor tunity of testifying in their united capacity the un feigned joy and thanksgiving, that it had pleased Him in whose hands were 1:le and death, to deliver the Queen From the perils of her situation and of her travail, anti the nation's solicitude had now given way to joy on ac count of that precious gift which was to perpetuate the succession to the throne of these realms. Some of their Lordships were present on that auspicious occa sion, cvlien her Majesty, with so much feeling, wisdom, and expression, and with such remark able appreciation of the virtues of the Prince Consort, entered into that state of marriage which ac corded with the wishes and hopes of her faithful people. The main happiness to he 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, which, as far as man could see, secured 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 to 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 en without the moat imminent risk—nay, the probability of war—and the public journals of the day might point out 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, and shoals, and the mazes— " Intricate, concentric, intervolved"— of that line of policy and diplomacy which they had been obliged to resort to ; and he for one put his confi dence 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 affairs, who had conducted the vessel of the State prudently and properly to the stag© at which they had now arrived. He must also state, that, resting his belief on the common sources of information, and de riving his opinions from the outside scope of affairs, and altogether ignorant of the by-play and under-current of these proceedings, lie certainly had had serious appre hensions, and he could scarcely meet with so inconsiderate a being as one who could not be induced to think that the race of European peace was well nigh run, 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 was 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 and harmonious sounds, that her Majesty con tinued to receive flora 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 maintainance of peace. If any wisdom was to be derived from experience, it was that " War was a game which, were their subjects wise, Kings would not play at." It was a fearful game to play at—it was a dreadful game to lose at.—( Hear, hear.) He had no difficulty whatever, therefore, in utterin g his assent to this sentiment in th e Sp e ech. It s h ou ld, however, be remembered that it was said Kings would not play at war " were their subjects wise," and here was an interesting and important 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 sufficiently wise, instructed, and virtuous, to restrain those warlike instincts, and to keep from the rash mad ness of the war party around them. All they could do for this end was to have their hopes and 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 ho perceived the advent of the olive branch that had told him these days of strife were passed, and that they 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 alarming appearances, but still he 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 hest results for the whole of Europe would be secured thereby. He also could not but congratulate their Lordships that the British Navy bad again come to light, and that the wooden walls of Old England had shown themselves as strong as ever. lie 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 course,.. which took place between England arid had done their duty, to the ntire satisfaction of the America, it was impossible but that the derangement Queen of England, and to the entire e satisfaction of their of the internal affairs of the one must tell upon the grateful country.

This led him at once to state that those thirci which took place within the last six mont h s , an d e ll a , were preparing for some months proceeding the prore( t i tion of Parliament, naturally filled his mind deep and gloomy apprehension. It was a do mendous thing to reflect that the friendly 0 , positions had been changed, that the good 0 derstanding had been impaired, that the alliance of re , years' standing had been terminated—at least for the r sent—which had knit together England and France , ! 0 ; which by binding them in the habits and feelings of alio ble intercourse, had secured the peace of Europe allu t e world. It was a grievous thing to have to reflect tbatodi work of slaughter in one part of the world had filo commenced, and that they were engaged, he woolu b d say in a war that would have no triumphs, and whieh 4 l already had none, but in wars which ended in triumr e d such a nature as to dash the exultations of this 000 with feelings of a far different nature. It was ne s ol that all this might be defensible ; but if defended ,0 success, if capable of justification, it must be upon gros not of any mere policy, or interest, or expedieneLo must be upon grounds approaching upon necessity, 70 dangers not remote and contingent, but all but imme7 o o, It was upon such grounds, a n d suc h groun ds e' id that those things could be justified, and the policy °Lot had been adopted, defended. An opinion had at 0 ", 1 11 times prevailed in this country, and it had been g t L e- g e reinforced of late years, and ver y muc h a dd e d to WO cent events, but in which he had never concurred, til lit i r st best policy for this country was to keep herself aloof co e all connection with foreign affairs, to take no more cern in the proceedings or foreign powers than our bre'd of America, that we should trad e w ith a ll, and :0 all powers in a friendly manner, so long as our iet e ,',jl were respected and our flag not insulted. He were possible that, from our position, and fre ° , ( ll l nature of human affairs, such a policy as th a t colo o f pursued.

The negotiations of the last six months ill it appear as if men and Ministers thought tirs'i 0 capital of the Turkish empire was the capi l3 o r this country—as if Syria wore Ireland. There we s t sti thing more wide of the question then under discussiele the conduct of Mehemet Ali--that conduct was vented according to the interest of the parties mall ir, representation. Sometimes he was represented as of/ dependent Sovereign, at other times as the merti 0 0 ; of the Sultan ; again it was stated he was power"' 'sge, his resources great; or on the contrary, that be NO, g°' and vacillating. Whatever his resources were l a " now the question ; in late events, however, lie ba n e :00! they were not now so great as they were in 1832. 0 0 0 : was the avowed object of all these proceedings fa re ft so great a risk had been tun in that quarter wh e , to t peace of Europe hi nge d, an d w hi ch h a d put an enS alliance between France anti England r Ite,„.„tir, that it was to maintain the integrity of the empire. Since when had wo begun to tble op ol absolutely and indispensably necessary to °, O , for nothing but the independence and integri.,,i o the Turkish empire? Was it in. 1927, when Roe °l o l , defiance of the rest of Europe, determined by >i jol brated Treaty to destroy the independence and o d i grity of that empire? Was it in 1830 or 1831, °li e , the assent of Russia, we joined with her and other f t or e to dismember the Turkish Empire by taking from large and valuable portion of her territory. Ve r ( it/ no doubt—no hesitation, except about the amount : 0 r! territory which should be taken—the amount of , t croachment which should be made upon the I '4o, Empire. In 1839 they had offered the Pacha Egypt, the most valuable of the Turkish provi r ',/ hereditary sovereignty. That was not all—le Q G tr 1839, they not only effered him Egypt, but th e fr cruached upon Syria, that very ground of conte°, they had offered him the Pachalic of Acre with ° fortresses.

In May 1840, they had offered her Pachalic of Acre with the fortresses, but for life ; b i, difference between the hereditary government an for life was a trifle which he would not detain their O pir ships upon. The independence of the Turkish e f o r i was an object of so much importance that they were to give up the alliance and Mende e France, and, with the remnant of the Holy to ok:, ance, to secure that integrity and independencel, ject so absolutely necessary to be secured that a! , r considerations were of no value as compared with It 'ot o e o li l secure that, the real and true basis of any solid foe° there could be for the peace of Europe, namely. 11 1° understanding and alliance between France and.

To f vo r against that danger was the object of the endee r i , tb°l keep the Turkish empire together—keep it togeth e le r A r could not say with any correctness, but to renovate d ', WI form it—to put it together again when it had sires jot, broken to pieces by time, by its own hands, by other o f titan its own, and then the hand of time; and ameeg o o, other bands by human hands, and the hands of theirP o ol l l l, ally and confederate, Russia, which bad more eoe o g fiffs powerfully, and successfully aided in the operatioe,4ool ing the Ottoman empire to pieces, than all otln r " 10 0$ 0 its own included—put together.
