Mr. MONCKTON MILNES spoke a few words in favour of preserving our alliance with France. Mr. IltimE .made a lOng , speech against the conduct of Ministers in relation to France, and for omitting many topics in the Speech. The Hon. Member concluded by moving another Address, as an amendment, which embodied his own ideas. Sir ROBERT PEEL referred to the probable dis pute with France and - the chance of a war with Europe as the one overwhelming topic. The Right Hon. Baronet spoke strongly and feelingly in favour of preferring peace, and in high terms of the French nation. He insisted on the neces sity, considering the peculiar feelings of France with reference to the Powers who had been unite I against her in 1816, of our Statesmen even going out of their way, if they were obliged to separate their policy from that of France, to sa tisfy her that no insult was intended. We re joice much to hear these sentiments pronounced by Sir ROBERT PEELj. they will give, we hope, pleasure in France, and soothe the ir ritation which arises from mistakes. Under this strong impression, the Right Hon. Baronet, who would not pronounce an opinion on our Sy rian policy till all the documents were before him, though he admitted it might be right, ex pressed his great concern that there was reason to believe, from one, part of the debates in the Chamber of Deputies, - that our Government had not treated M. Guizor, and had not treated the Government he represented, with all the courtesy they merited. Like the Duke of WELLi NGTON, the Right Hon. Baronet referred to the Congress at Verona, at which the other Powers resolved to invade Spain, contrary to the opinion of England, and England did not feel herself affronted. If France had now been properly treated, she would not have felt herself humbled or insulted. The Right Hon. Baronet concluded an able speech by bestowing a well-merited compliment on Marshal SOULT. Lord PALMERSTON, in a short speech, full of matter, expressed his deep regret at the turn affairs had taken with France, and at the inter ruption, for a short time only, of our friendly relations. He looked to the French taking a calmer view of the matter, and being con vinced that we were not actuated by any unfriendly feeling towards France. He rejoiced at the speech of the Right Hon. Baronet, who had expressed such honourable feelings with re gard to France, and whose language was a proof that the leading men on both sides concur in an earnest desire to promote a good understanding between the two countries. The Noble Lord demonstrated very clearly that no slight had been intended to France, and none had been shown. The Allies could not call on her to be a party to the co ercive' measures which she had rejected; and as the only object of the French Government was to gain time, by which the season for opera tions would have been lost, there was no alter tive but to act without her. The Noble Lord's manly explanation elicited satisfaction from all sides of the House. In conclusion, the Address was agreed to without any division. We cannot conclude, without expressing our earnest hope, that the enlightened sentiments expressed by men of all parties—the just honour that was rendered to France—the desire ex pressed for her approbation and her prosperity, will do much towards satisfying our neighbours that there is no nation on earth En g land is more desirous, if possible, of cultivating friendly re lations with than France.

The Paris Journals of Monday have all reached us. The debate on the Fortifications Bill was commenced on Monday by M. DE LATOURNELLE, who supported the plan of a continuous wall. M. JANVIER followed on the other side. M. GUIZOT next ascended the tribune, and defended the Bill as calculated to give stability to the peace of Eu rope. The Minister contended that the forti fication of Paris was not a party question, and that in so far as forts would repress popular vio lence they merited the Conservative support of the nation. This is hinting pretty plainly the real object of the fortifications. The Parisians will learn the whole truth by and bye. France continues her disgraceful system of war in Africa. The following account of the latest exploits in that quarter is from the Journals of Monday : On the 31st the French troops marched from Cherchell to make a razzia, that is, to surprise, plunder, burn, and destroy a poor Arab village. Tho success of the expedi tion was not brilliant, for only twenty Arabs wore killed, as many wounded, and some oxen and mules captured." The tribe of Beni Houssa was Burp. ised with more suc cess. It made no resistance, and many escaped ; but the Deccan war sacked, burned, and its flocks of five hundred sheep, thirty-five oxen, and ton calves taken." The capture of ten calves forms an appropriate climax to this record of French valour and hu manity. We are surprised that the French Jour►►als are not ashamed of publishing such despatches in the face of their clamours about the inhumanity of England in China, India, and Affiglianistan. By the commercial treat'• between Holland and France, all articles of Dutch colonial pro duce which hitherto were prohibited from enter ing France by land are now permitted to be entered at Strasburg and Sierck on paying the duties to which they would be liable on entering in French vessels. The duty on Dutch cheese and white lead is also reduced one-third. These are important concessions made to Dutch trade, but those conceded by Holland in favour of France are far more considerable :-Ist. White china-ware, of French manufacture, is only to pay the same duty as common delft-ware. -2. d. The duty on all kinds of French soap is reduced one-fourth. 3d. The duty upon French stained paper is reduced two-fifths. 4th. The duty upon French cutlery, mercerv, lace, silk of kinds, is reduced one-half. sth. Frenchwines and brandies in cask are to be admitted free of all Custom duties on their entry into the Dutch territory, and when in bottle the duty on wine is to be re duced three-fifths, and one half on brandies. A reduction of one-half is to be made on the duties payable on French wines and brandies on being exported to the Dutch colonies. The journals La France, Le National, and Le Commerce were seized on Monday at the post office for the publication of sonic letters stated by La France to be addressed by the KING to M. DE TALLEVRAND In 1831 and 183:2. We sub join the extracts from them, and the comments thereon, published by the National. We need scarcely observe _that we believe every word of them to be a gross forgery. As to the previous letters, the first history of them appeared in The Son : The National publishes some fragments of letters, said by La France to have been written by Louis Philippe, and the originals of which arc said to be in the hands of M. de Larochejaquelin. The National considers that as La France has not been seized, these letters may be consi dered as historical documents, and proposes to publish them under the title of " The Policy of Louis Philippe, explained by himself." The first letter is said to contain a promise to abandon Algiers, in the following words : " As to the occupation of Algiers, I hare most powerful reasons for faithfully fulfilling the engagements which my family made with Great Britain. Under those circum stances I trust that his Majesty's Government will allow me to choose my own time and measures." The second letter treats of the last insurrection in Po land, and is headed by the National, " The French Ca binet claims the honsur of having murdered Poland." In this letter the following passage is to be found " Tbo Cabinet of St. Petersburgh ought to thank us, and not the conqueror of Warsaw, for having crushed this centre of incessant rebellion." The third letter refers to the fortifications of Paris, and is headed by the National, " The Detached Forts and the Dynasty.—A plan for subduing the Press."— This letter contains the following passage :—" Be assured that I do not intend to abandon my plan of raising forts round Paris ; nor that of subduing the Press, our most dangerous enemy. The great part of the public writers are purchased; the others will follow their example. Let the Powers of Europe re member what consequences the revolution of July, 1830, might have produced. Let them recollect that it was by our sole and powerful will that we governed this frightful popular ebullition, and let them judge from that of what we are capable, and let not any of the Powers forget that we alone could have saved France and Europe, and that we have saved them. Lot neither Vienna, nor St. Peters burgh, nor Berlin, forget that." " All commentary," concludes the National," would be feeble after those revelations. Past events are explained by them—future consequences are to conic. It is for France, who has supported one, to ace whether she will submit to the other." We have the following letter from Toulon, dated 12th January. Nothing his yet been done precisely to disarm the squadron, but the armaments are definitely impeded.

If the people like such men for their representa tives they must take the consequences, and be in turn hunted to death by the Corn-law men as if they were vermin. We hope, however, that in East Surrey there must be a sufficiently strong Anti-Corn-law interest to defeat the Tory, and return a man pledged, from solemn conviction, like Mr. Alcock, to the repeal of thehread4aX.

MPERIAL PARLIAMENT, (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool sack at one o'clock, when the Bishop of CHICHESTER was introduced by the Bishops of LICHFIELD and ELY, and took the oaths and his seat. Lord ARDEN also took the oaths and his seat, upon his accession to the. title. At half-past one their Lordships proceeded to the Palace with the Address, at which time there were present, in a variety of uniforms, the 111arquis of Head fort, the Earls of Fingal and Wilton, Lords Portman, Camoys ; Lord Duck, the mover of the Address, Lord Lurgan, the seconder, and the Archbishop of Canter bury.—The House was adjourned till to -morrow. CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took appeals and original causes to-day. The appeal of the Attorney-General and the Cooper's Company was ordered to stand over till the first cause day after the erns. Several causes were postponed to a future day, in consequence of the absence of Mr. Wigram, on account of the death of his mother. In other cases the parties took such de cree as they could abide by, in consequence of the absence of Counsel, and others were struck out, in consequence of the solicitors not being prepared. A HINT TO SOLICITORS. Upon his Lordship being asked to allow one of the eases to stand over, in consequence of the solicitors not being prepared, he said that he should in future establish some rule by-which solicitors could not deal with the Court in the imanner they had done in the present Term to a very great extent. It was useless for the Court to sit there to hear cases if the solicitors did not think it their duty to the Court and their clients to be prepared with the cause. It could not but be very well known that half the douses that had been called on for hearing during the present Term and the last, had not been heard, because solicitors had not been ready, either for the plaintiff or the defendant. Mr. COOPER said that it was a serious inconvenience to Counsel, that when they were engaged they got the papers so late, that it was perfectly impossible to state properly their case to the Court. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed that it was impossible that Counsel could do their duty to their clients unless they were instructed in proper time. He had himself, when at the Bar, experienced the inconvenience. He thought Counsel had the most reason to complain of this next to the client, yet there was no remedy for it as set, and the client must suffer. That which he complained of, and which:his Lordship meant to correct in futnre, was that parties who were not ready should not be permitted to set down the cause again in the usual manner, and which they did under the existing practice. That was a facility which iuduood solicitors to be so negligent of their duty. Ihere was another course of proceeding which his Lordship would also alter. A defendant did not find it convenient to attend when the cause was ready for hearing, and by the present practice the plaintiff in the cause took such decree as he could abide by tins afforded facility to the de fendant which aught not to exist, and his Lordship was deter mined that that also should he corrected in future. His Lounstur rose at half-past twelve o'clock to attend the House of Lords to proceed with the Address to the Queen, having previously disposed of all the cases in his paper. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY).

SLOAN and CO., Members of the Royal College of Surgeons, 4, ARGYLL-PLACE, REGENT-STREET, and 28, IRONMONGER-LANE, CHEAPSIDE, may be consulted from Eight o'Clock in the Morning until Ten at Night, on cvery variety and stage of Syphilis, with that delicacy and secresy they have hitherto ob served. ,The treatment they pursue will not subject any patient to cenfOlement or hindrance from business. Cases of an ex treme nature they eradicate in eight er ten days, or if slight or recent in two or three, without the indiscriminate use of mer cury, and at a moderate expense. Generative debility, Gonorrhoea, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily so preva .ent, are treated upon these unerring principles which have in sured to Messrs. Sloan and Co. so large a share of 'public pa tronage for nearly thirty years in London, and which it will be their future exertion to maintain. Letters, containing an enclosure, will be answered by return and patients, however distant, will be corresponded with unV,l recovered. feat in the Commons, should serious opposi- Lion be excited, it was extremely prudent to draw up such a speech. • The character, how- ever, imparted itself to the opening of the Ses sion, which attracted, except for the show in the early part of the day, extremely little attention, and was meagre and dull. We must add, that the : - peeeli is more neatly written than Royal Spt vehes were wont to be , and without having Lee INIAJEsTv's reliance on Parliament—for we have none--we cordially join in the humble sup plication to Divine Providence, that it may be so guided and governed as to promote the inte rests of morality and religion, and the welfare and happiness of all her MAJESTY'S subjects. In the Lords, the late Mr. MYLES STAPLETON took his seat as Lord BEAUMONT. Lord DUCIE, as was previously announced, . _ nog ed the Address, and made a speech which he Duke of WELLINGTON complimented for its teatness. Lord LURGAN took a more discursive view in seconding the motion for an Address, and alluded to many topics not in the Speech. He expressed - . himself strongly in favour of peace,',and properly exulted at the efficiency of our navy and the success of our arms. Lord BROUGHAM took rather a:gloomy view of our foreign relations, and .laid,.fle should rejoice much irhe could - believe that l'rance cherished unabated her desire to preserve peace with Eng land. He grieved over the work of slaughter which had been begun in one part of the world, and expressed an opinion that it could only be jus tified as a matter of strict necessity. He did not desire to isolate England from other Powers, but he was against never-ending interference. He remarked on the inconsistency with which ME- HEMET Am had been sometimes described as a powerful independent sovereign, at others a mere servant of the SULTAN; he alluded to the incon- sistency also with which MEHEMET ALI had been treated, at one time offering him Syria, and at another expelling him from it. That the Otto man empire was going to pieces was no argument for interfering by war ; and he believed Rus- sia would be the only Power which would benefit by the attack made on the PACHA. The people of this country, who love peace, had never believed in the possibility of war on account of such an object as the restoration of Syria to the Porte, or the nation would have risen as one man, and forbidden a war with France. The No ble Lord concluded by pronouncing a spirited eulogium on France, and expressing a fervent hope that the peace between the two countries and the tranquillity of Europe would remain un disturbed. Viscount MELBOURNE admitted that Ministers had pursued a bold decisive policy, but they had not done so till they exhausted all other expedi ents. They had, in fact, been obliged to do so much because they had so long delayed com mencing. The only blame they were justly ob noxious to was on account of not having enter- fered. earlier, but this arose from that very defer ence to their ally which they had been ac cused of not showing. To defer exclusively to France because her people were irritable would enable them to rule the whole world, as deferring to an ill-tempered man made him the master of a family. He deplored that the object in view had not been obtained without blood shed, but he hoped before long that all the Powers of Europe would again concur in one conunon policy. The Duke of WELLINGTON expressed, on the whole, approbation of the policy pursued by the Ministers ; and he saw nothing whatever in their conduct discourteous to France. But the Noble Duke's speech was remarkable for a strong and emphatic declaration that he had done, while in office, as much as any man in Europe to preserve the integrity and pro mote the honour of France, and that he was sure peace could not be preserved unless France were taken freely into its councils and congresses. So important did Lord BROUCILAm consider the declaration, that he congratulated himself on having been the means of calling it forth. Their Lordships agreed to the Address without further comment or amendment. In the Commons Mr. CAREW' took his seat for Wexford. The return of Colonel BRUEN was ordered to be amended, there having been a cle rical error, in the date which prevented the Colonel from taking his seat yesterday. New writs for Monmouth, Canterbury, Wal sall, and Surrey were ordered. Notices were given of Bills to continue the Poor-law Commission, Feb. 29 ; to improve the regulation of Elections in England, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Feb. 23 ; and to amend the Registra tion in Ireland, Feb. 4; for the same object, Lord STANLEY, Feb. 2 ; for the better Adminis tration of Justice (Ireland), Lord IVlonerru, Feb 2; for Draining Lands (Ireland), Feb. 2; to equalize the duties on East and West India Rum, and for the better regulation of Railways, Mr. LABOUCIIERE, 4th February; to abolish the Punishment of Death, Mr. KELLY ; to amend the Law of Copyright, Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD ; to take away the Jurisdiction of Ecclesiastical Courts in Tithes of a certain amount, Captain PE CHELL ; about Parish and County Constables, two Bills, Sir E. KNATCHBULL and Mr. HoncEs; and to extend the Jurisdiction of the County Courts ; and also a Bill to extend the Jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery to matters of Bank ruptcy, Mr. F. MAULS, Feb. 0. The address in reply to the Speech was moved by Lord BRABAZON in a neat speech, and seconded by Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY in a more florid oration, having a much wider reach. Mr. GROTE followed, and made a serious attack on the policy of her Majesty's Government in relation to Syria, which he condemned with con siderable energy. He praised the Government of the PACHA in comparison with other Eastern Governments, and spoke against the Convention of July, considered as a guarantee of the SULTAN against the growth of any of his PACH AS ; and denied that it had secured Turkey from the encroachments of Russia, or settled the Eastern question. The former would be pre vented, if at all, by the terrors of the British arms, which would operate equally before and since we had taken Syria from the PAOLA. The Hon. Member proposed no amendment, though he declared our best interests had been put to hazard. He referre d also briefl y to our internal policy, which was, he t hou g h t , erroneous, under the shadows of finality. Mr. JAME S tho ug ht th e policy of her MAJESTY'S Ministers, in relation to the Levant, perfect, and requiring no defence. Lord JOHN RUSSELL was of a different opinion, and defended the policy of Ministers at consider able length, and with much effect. He justified interference with other States to preserve the balance of power, both by the reason of the thing and by the example of the most peaceful of our Ministers, Sir ROBERT WA LPOLE, who interfered continually with other States. If England had not protected Turkey, Russia would ; she had already received pro tection from that Power, which had obtained thereby advantages, endangering the peace of Europe. He showed, from letters from the French Ministers, that the Government of France had long concurred with our Govern ment in desiring to settle the Eastern Question in conjunction with the Allies, though it had afterwards hung back and com pelled the Allies to act hlone. The Noble Lord pronounced a spirited eulogium on Lord not,- THE FUNDS. The market left off rather heavy yesterday, at for the Account , Money. 891 1.

The Parliament was opened yesterday by her MAJESTY in person, brilliantly attended, by one of the most meagre Speeches on record. An allusion to the affairs of the Levant, to the gal lantry of our fleet, and to our expedition to China, a stateirwnt that we are to mediate between Spain and Portugal, a hint that there will be new taxes, anti a law to improve the administra tion ofjusti, ce, constitutes the sum of its contents. The oniissic us—as noticed by. Mr. HUME and Sir ROBERT PE EL, who said it seemed to be uttered as TALLEYF : AND said speech was given to man, to conceal l its thoughts—its omission of the Ame rican Bon' i dary - question, of the war in the north west of I D ahl, e; the state of Ireland, of the dif ficult es . under which commerce labours, of the distre - ;!!„, o f the vorking classes, of the great ,discontent, &c., warrants the charac te,r -, vo h ave given of it. But taking all eirct :nst: laces into consideration, particularly the cen Dainty of defeat in the Peers, if the sters put into it anything offensive to ef,e t 4r - EVENlNG.l4nriviow. MONEY MARKET and CITY Nr:Wk). (TUESDAY EVENINO. TIMES.—The appearance of the Qui en's Speech in the City was immediately followed by a:m111 in Consols of about per cent. This is attributed, in the first place, to the omission of all mentian of Fiance., bath :n the first paragraph, alluding generally to relations with fure ! g n Powers, and in the second, which relates especipliy to the affairs of the Levant. Some persoi,s have expressed an opinion not only that France; will be indignant at this omission, but that the design of our Government bits been thus tacitly to reprove that Power for the ambi guous position which she has taken. Such a state of feeling on both sides being tn..satisfactory as far as regards the maintenance of peace, a gloom has been thrown over the money-market, anti the jobbers aro in great uncertainty what quotations .'o fix. Their on easiness is increased by another paragr, VI which has ex cited no less attention in the City, and t hot is, the one in which her Majesty declares that •• however',iensible of the importance of adhering to the principles o f .economy, she feels it to be her duty to recommend that adequate provi sion be made for the exigencies of the pub, is service." Of this paragraph there can be no other int. "rpretation than that the m_ in t enanee o f econom y is s i m ply n.Aentioned as a contingency, w hil e th e necess i t y o f p rov i s i an ti.)r exi gencies is stated as a n a b sc l uce f ac t. H ence th ere i s . 'lP prehension that a new loan must form part of the . and means of the year, and though, front the aspect Of our finance, the necessity of raising money in son, way or other has been long ant ci;:ated, Ws de claration, together with the omission before mentioned, seems to have taken the market in general by surprise, if we may judge from the suddenness of the decline which took place in a few minutes from the appearance of the Speech. It has been observed, however, that the market was in a state that rendered it susceptible, since money had been rather snore scarce than of late, and money stock had been brought in for sale. However, there is altogether no doubt that, making all allowances; the Speech, instead of gratifying expectation, has awakened uneasiness, and, to all appearance, even the present price 3 can hardly be maintained. Excepting the sales alluded to, the business transacted in the English funds was small. POST.—South Western 184- to 19 prem. ; Brighton 61 to dis. ; Blackwall 4 fo r i dis. per share. The directors of the Blackwall Company have made a propo sition to Government which seems to be a vary praise worthy one, and we understand there is every probability of its being taken advantage of. It is to the stre.,e,t that _ all stCari:lioatsinWirrboutir Ti'iim -- Toreign ports iiian deliver their passengers and luggage at the Company's wharf at Blackwall,thej (the Company)undertaking to have covered vans and trains always ready for the conveyance of them to their warehouses in Feachurch-street. Government have, it is said, received the proposition fa vourably, conceiving that, upon the plan pointed out, an immense deal of the smuggling which i; now carried on by travellers by steam-vessels may be prevented. Tho intention is to have officers always ready at the terminus for the immediate searching and passing of the luggage, by which means at least twu hours may be saved, in com parison with the time consumed under the present system. Another most material benefit will be derived from the change. The extortions and abuse of wstermen, porters, and petty Custom-house officers and hangers-on of vari • ous descriptions will be put an end to. There seems to be no reason why the passengers generally by vessels coming from foreign places may not voluntarily fall into the measure. SUN—There was a deal ut curiosity in the City to-day to ascertain the tenor of the Queen's Speech, which, however, caused some disappointment to those who ex pected allusions to France and Ireland. From the passage referring to the exigencies of the kingdom, a new loan is thought to be hinted at. Consols for present transfer were marked upon the opening of the Market at 891 to 90 for Money, and 901 to i f for Account ; but there was not much business done at. these quotations ; and after the delivery of her Majesty's Speech some of the jobbers took occa sion to depress the Market a little upon the pretext of its unfavourable tenor. The business transacted was on the whole insignificant. The closing quotations were rather lower ; viz., 89a for Money, and 894 for Ac count ; Exchequer Bills were at 3s. to 85. prem. ; and India Bonds at 57. dis. ; Bank Stock realised 1684 to 169 f ; and the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. brought 98 to There was a failure in the bristle and feather trade to-day, and intelligence was also received of the stop page of a manufacturing establishment in Scotland, said to be in connection with Messrs. Garry and Curtis. The Foreign Stocks were rather more dealt in : Spanish Active Bonds were at a decline from 25 to 24a to 244, and the Deferred were at 121 to 12g.' The Portuguese New Five per Cents. brought 32 i f to , and the Three per Cents. 20f. Colombian Bonds of 1824 were depressed to 24 to I, and Mexican of 1837 to 281. Peruvian were not higher than 158-. Brazilian ranged from 73f to 74, and Buenos Ayres were at 22 to 21±. Belgian Bonds were at 984, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 50a. _ _ The Share Market was dull, but the few sales .ef fected were at the previous rates ; and as regards the shares of the Birmingham line of railway, at an advance of 2/. to 71. per share, the quotations for the origi nal shares being 87 to 92, and for the quarter 24 to 26 premium. The Great Western new shares were at 13, and the South-Western at to 18i premium ; Brighton shares were 61 to 6f, ; Birming• ham and Gloucester 20, and Eastern Counties 141 discount. Australaeia New Bank Shares were I I pre mium ; London and Westminster Bank 41 premium ; and Union of Australia, New, 6 premium. The Foreign Exchanges continue; rather heavy. This afternoon the rates were as follow :—Paris 25f. 52:1e. to 57ie. ; Amsterdam 12 21 ; Antwerp 12 21; Hamburg!' 13 7 to 6:1 1 ; Frankfort 148 f ; and Trieste 10 2 to 3.

Lord Brougham, however, con demned the Eastern policy of the Government ; which was, on the other hand, strenuously vindicated by the Duke of Wellington. Frost one part of his Grace's speech the best effects may be expected, nut merely in France, but throughout Europe. It has been sedulously instilled into the French that the integrity of their country is in danger from a coalition of the great Powers ; and when we find men like M. Rcmusat—a member of the late Cabinet— declaring that in all the military schools of Europe, a theme was given to students, and with it a plan of France, that the students might draw up a composition, detail ing a plan for marching upon Paris, we can hardly wonder that a belief in the existence of coalitions for the purpose of partition should, to a certain ex tent, have taken possession of the public mind. The Duke of Wellington, who may be considered as one of the most influential organs of the Tories, and whose position as a former minister of the Crown, and its representative at several Congresses, stamps a pe culiar value on his testimony, declared most earnestly that he considered the integrity of France of the utmost im portance to the balance of power in Europe ; and that on all occasions when he was called on to deliver his senti ments he had expressed this opinion, and strenuously opposed every proposition which in any way tended to im pair the power and just influence of that kingdom. We have again and again expressed it as our conviction that the sentiments of the Duke of Wellington on this subject are shared by the great body of Englishmen, and that, how ever much they might be inclined to resist any am bitious attempts of the French against the peace of Eu rope, they would be no less inclined to oppose any project for dismembering France. We cordially agree, wog with Lord Brougham, that there cannot be a greater error than to suppoie that the people of this country had over for an instant felt indifferent to a policy which threatenedwar with France, or indifferent to the incalculable blessings of maintaining peace with that nation. We only differ with the Noble and Learned Lord as to the course of plicy best calculated to maintain the peace of Europe and a good understanding between this country and France. In the House of Commons the policy of Ministers relative to the Levant was discussed at greater length. The ace count of the discussion will be read with delight by the enlightened friends of peace, not in this country only, but throughout Europe. Those who might have entertained doubts whether Lord Palmerst on was justifiedin the polio} which lel to the Treaty of the loth of July, will answered the . objections urged find their doubts iernovcd in the speech of Lord . John Rus ;iprucomnhcpcili";ll,ctilgyhbours will perceive that in every was wi n t i h ani F f , e ra st n e e d s. fur T t h h i e s Here, too,. as in . the House of s a L e g o l a l :i d n s s:t c h o t o u h r a that the speech of Sir R. I.fr a i l e n n i d e . r si s ' t l o p n. Those who approve c inl y 'otf o h f apteo :l ic Ministers s With regard to Turkey, and anxiety s m n o u s t t e l v .e i s d s e o n b t aj u x s to i t n y p opf r e e et s hl e ,e r t v i; a 3ao t those who condemn it, are equally anx i ous t h a t we s h ou ld be on friendly terms with France. However much we may differ from the policy ad vocate d by M r . G rote , w h os e r easoning, in general, was anything but con clusive, and whatever we may think of the rambling falla cies of Mr. Hum e , we cor di a lly s h are th e i r an xiety to convince our French neighbours that towards them, as a nation, the people of England entertain sentiments of high respect and sincere friendship. The good sense of Eng land revolts at the idea of any diminution of the good un derstanding with France ; and, with all whose opinions are of any value, the conviction prevails that no calamity could be greater than the estrangement of the people of France from ourselves. The English nation are too much alive to their true interests to wish France less powerful, less prosperous, and less influential than she now is. The peace of the world and the libertie s of Europe are bound up with the greatness and independence of France. It is of the utmost importance th at no cloud should han g over the relations between the tw o countries. If we wish that France and England should go hand in hand in the course of improvement —that a friendly intercourse, calcu lated to advance the interest and happiness of both coun ts ies should be c ontinued —we must show ourselves supe rior to petty jealousies, and to whatever tends to foment an unseeedk strife. There is assuredly no wish in this country to obtain unfair advantages over France ; and when our neighbours become persuaded, as ere long they must, that feelings of injustice or unkindness towards them have no place in England, the happiest results may confidently be anticipated.
