THE REPLY OF THE FRENIE GOVERN• MENT TO COUNT NESSELROL)R'S CULAR. In the Moniteur of Saturday appears a 'circular addressed by the French Minister of Foreign Af fairs to the diplomatic representatives of the Em peror at the various courts of Europe. There is nothing "ambiguous" in the language of this do cument. Its appearance is singularly well-timed, inasmuch as it effectually disposes of sundiy sinis ter rumours respecting the intentions of the French Government, industriously circulated of late by the peace-at-any-price faction here. PARIS, MAY 23. Monsieur,—All the journals of Europe have repro duced from the Journal de St. Petersbourg the circular which Count Nesselrode addressed, on the 10th of May, to the Russian agents at foreign courts. The Govern ment of the Emperor waited for the official termination of the conferences before it would pronounce ajudgment on their general character ;. but since the Cabinet of St, Petersburg has thought good, to appeal, without delay, to public opinion, no one will be astonished that we, in our turn, follow it on the path which it has first trodden. I enter upon it, for my part, with all the confidence which the moderation and loyalty of our policy can in spire me. I will, in the first place, recal the circumstances which determined France and England to consent to take part in negotiations at a moment when the energetic prose cution of the war ought apparently to have been the principal object of their thoughts and cares. The treaty of the 2d December had been concluded, and the West ern Powers, out of deference to their new ally, consented to attempt a last effort of conciliation, resting on the . possibility of inducing Russia to accept the bases which, in the general interest of Europe, they had proposed for peace. It is well known that Prince Gortschakoff when first called upon, with official knowledge of the common intentions of France, Eng land, Austria, and Turkey, to explain himself respect ing those of his own court, refused categorically to ad here to the conditions proposed. It was not till the 7th of January, and after a reference to St. Petersburg, that he accepted, without any reserve, the principles known by the name of the four points (quatregaranties). This fact is attested, in the most peremptory manner, by the unanimous testimony of the plenipotentiaries pre sent at the conference ; moreover, a despatch of Count Buol, communicated simultaneously at Paris and Lon don, proves that the negotiations, of which the outline had been thus traced, were only opened at the request of Russia. It is established, therefore, that this Power cannot reproach us with having taken it by surprise. She was aware that one of the indispensable conditions of peace consisted in the cessation of her preponderance in the Euxine, and ample time had been allowed her to ascertain the sacrifices which would be imposed upon herby undertaking an engagement to that effect. The only questibn is, whether Prince Gortschakoff and M. de Titoff have fulfilled this engagement ; or whether, on the contrary, they have fallen short of it. This point I will discuss immediately ; but I wish, in the first place, to examine some of the assertions hazarded in M. Nes selrode's circular. Already, during the conferences, the Russian plenipo- 1 tentiaries, at the time when the discussion took place of the first guarantee relative, in their opinion, to the con secration of the immunities of Moldavia, Wallachia, and Servia, and, in our opinion, to the abolition of the un fair influence exercised by the Cabinet of St. Peters burg in those three vassal provinces of the Sublime Porte, had appeared to misunderstand the true position of the debate. Count Nesselrode develops the same thesis ; I shall answer' it by some questions. When, since the last wars, have the immunities of the Danubian Principalities received the slightest infringement on the part of the suzerain power? When 'lies the Sultan ever thought of revoking any of the concessions made by his predecessors ? When have France, England, and Austria evinced any other desire save that of maintaining, while ameliorating, the independent sway of the administra tion, which, as has been but too much lost sight of, was neither in Wallachia nor in Moldavia a recent conquest, but the result of an agreedient freely concluded ages ago, and only modified from that day when the Hospodars began, during the wars of the 18th century, to depend more on the court of Russia than on the Sub lime Porte ? It is thus Moldavia lost half the territory that had been guaranteed to her by the Sultans ; thus it was that this province and Wallachia, instead of re maining what they ought to be, a respected barrier be tween the Ottoman empire and Russia, have, even since the treaty of Adrianople, that seemed to recognise in their behalf rights better defined, been governed rather by agents from the Cabinet of St. Petersburg than by their own chiefs, and that in the midst of profound peace, just as if they were merely a prolongation of the Russian soil, they saw themselves unexpectedly occu pied by a foreign army. Such, sir, are the true evils that •have afflicted the Danubian Principalities, such the dangers that have incessantly menaced them. It is to both that the first of the four guarantees was intended to put an end. Whether the influence of Russia be yond the Pruth has or has not been exer cised under the legal title of protectorate, the question has nothing to do with it, and it would be degrading- it into a special pleading if he were to put it as Count Nes selrode does. History is at hand to inform us what Mol davia and Wallachia have gained, in addition to their old condition by their relations with the court of St. Petersburg, and it is a return to this state of things that France, England, and Austria have wished to prevent. I pass to the second guarantee ; the bases of its regu lation are good. I shall content myself with observing, that should the navigation of the Danube, hampered as it has been for the last 25 years, recover its liberty, a war has been requisite to induce Russia not to leave useless ii her hands one of the finest outlets in the world. Should Germany acquire this immense boon for its commerce, it will owe it to the blood shed by France and England. I am about to come, sir, to the chief point ; but I have still to reply to a reproach addressed by Count Nesselrode to • the plenipotentiaries of the Western Powers. He ac cuses them of having delayed the study at the conference of a question bearing on toleration and humanity, and which, on the contrary, ought to have occupied the first place in the deliberations—or, to speak more appro priately, of net having taken into consideration with so much zeal as they ought the lot of the Christian subjects of the Sublime Porte. There is no discussion without regularity, and it had been agreed to examine in their order the four guarantees. No w, if the debate stopped at the third, the obstacle did not proceed from us ; it was the Russian plenipotentiaries who raised it, and ours merely conformed to a programme settled beforehand. Count Nesselrode for the rest takes it, upon himself to justify their reserve, which was already explained by the announcement of the speedy arrival at Vienna of the Sultan's Minister of Foreign Affairs. A religious ques tion, envenomed by the pretensions of Russia, had been the cause of the war. It was natural not to discuss it unless in the presence of Aali Pacha ; besides, it was no longer in the terms it had been originally drawn up in. The cabinet of St. Petersburg 'had required a formal engagement which, seemingly applicable to reli gious immunities alone, would not the less have humi liated the Porte, fettered its administrative action, and have paralysed in the civil order all efficacious reform. France and England openly declared that the Turkish Government was bound to refuse its submission to such conditions, which would have entailed ruin on its inde pendence ; and, if reference be made to the text of the fourth guarantee, it is easy to see that, Russia engaged to renounce the reproducing of them, and to leave to the Sultan, save and except the friendly action and the counsels of his allies, the initiative of what measures were to be taken in the material and moral interest of his subjects. What was to be done, therefore, at the con ferences of Vienna was not to discuss systems theoreti cally, but simply to proclaim a principle directly the re verse of the one, that of triumph, which the mission of Prince Menscbikoff to Constantinople had for its object. Count Nesselrode says enough on the subject to permit us to doubt whether the Russian plerjpotentiaries would have confined themselves to these liniits. They would probably, as in the discussion about the Danubian Principalities, have mistaken the motives of the fourth guarantee, and they would have forgotten that there was still debateable anything save the requirement of Russia to which Europe could not subscr.ibe. The latest reforms effected in Turkey, those they gave birth to, the eagerness the Sublime Porte has shown in listening to our counsels, prove that the hear* of the Sultan is open to the most generous inspirations. What' is essential is that these inspirations should be 'carried out without troublesome interference, that he who conceives them may have the merit of them in the eye of his subjects and the world. And to the end that this result may be ob tained, it is indispensable that Russia for the future should abandon the arms she has made use o fin turns, either for stopping useful reforms or for alie,aating the populations from their sovereign.

I now come, sir, to the question of the Black Sea. Struck, on the one hand, with the inadequacy of the treaty of July 13, 1841, to insure in the European family an invariable place for the Turkish empire ; and on the other hand, with the dangers to which Turkey was exposed by the increase of the Russian forces in the Euxine, France, England. and Austria have declared that the convention of the Straits ought to be revised, or in still better words, to be completed, and that it was necessary, by putting an end to Russian prepon derance ie the Black Sea, to re-establish between her aryl the other fluvial power of this interior basin, the ,quiliblium that had been derarged by a series of disas trous events, Prince Gert ,, chakoff, after some hesita tion at first, adhered at the preliminary conference of Jan. 7, to the two terms of this proposition, which ex plains it.elf, which contains nothing ambiguous ; and it was on the faith of th at itdhe,ite. that the represents fives of France an d with their full power s . England a t Vienna were furni.shed The Government of the Emperor and that of her Britannic Majesty were boned, I repeat, to suppose that the Cabinet of St. Petersburg had made up its mind to the sacrifices dictated by the situation, and in this ' expectation the Russian plenipotentiaries had been invited to make the initiative, the object being to preserve the dignity of their court. On the refusal of the Cabinet of St. Petersburg to announce. first, the concessions to which it would be disposed to consent, the Allies of the Sublime Porte agreeing with it, brought forward the conditions, which are specified in one of the riders to the eleventh protocol. I shall make no attempt, sir, to justify our demands ; for their moderation is self-evident. Nor shall I enter into details that have now become futile. I prefer de fining the interests of Europe in the Black Sea, and then examining whether the double solution proposed by Russia gives to those interests the satisfaction which it is our object to obtain for them. • Exclusively confined by the coasts of the two neigh• bouring states, closed against the other maritime powers, the Euxine had become, as it were, an arena, where ad versaries of unequal strength found themselves alone confronting each other—the wakes of the two being delivered up to the discretion of the more powerful one. A formidable fortress contained within its citadels and roadstead an army always ready to embark, and a fleet always ready to take them on board and put to sea. This warlike display, unnecessary for defence, had but one possible destination. It constituted 'a perma. nent menace against the capital of Turkey, and the mystery which surrounded it increased a peril which at the slightest symptom of a crisis alarmed the whole of Europe. Constrained in spite of effizrts, which history will appreciate, to have recourse to arms, France and England owe it to themselves, and also to Europe, not to lay them down until their work shall be accomplished. It is necessary that the peace which they shall have ob— tained shall be followed by a secure repose. Would such security be the consequence of either of the two combinations recommended by Count Nessel rode ? In a word, would these two systems put an end to the preponderance of Russia in the Black Seat The first, that based on the principle of the complete and re ciprocal opening of the passages of the Bosphorus and of the Dardanelles, inVolires the abolition of a rule which the Ottoman empire has always considered as its safeguard, and which since 1841 has become part of the public law of Europe. At present, Russia, who refuses to reduce the number of her vessels, in alleging the exigencies of her honour and the prerogative of her sovereignty, does not hesitate to apply to the Sublime Porte for the abdication of its independence in its ►nter nal waters—in the great artery which passes through its capital. She claims a new passage into the Mediter ranean, that is to say, the means and the pretext of aug menting in vast proportions her maritime development ; and, in compensation for these advantages, she confines herself to giving her consent that foreign squadrons may in future enter a sea where they would find neither a port of refuge nor an arsenal of supply. In order to exercise the surveillance, the right of which would be indirectly conceded to them, France and England would be obliged to impose on themselves for ever the most onerous sacrifi6es. I will add, sir, and this consideration is of great weight, that peace, if con cluded on such cond►tions, would be exposed to the ha zard of the first incident that might occur, and that -',4_I 7 AL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE, The Imperieuse, screw 51, Captain Watson, C. 8., arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from the Baltic, where she was lately the senior officer's ship of the ad vanced or flying squadron of the fleet in those seas. She has come home to repair the damages she sustained by getting in collision wits her Majesty's corvette Tartar, Captain Dunlop. A new bowsprit, fore-knee, and other important limbs have been prepared for the Imperieuse, which will go into Portsmouth-harbour to-day to fit them. The Tintes Portsmouth correspondent has received the following account of the catastrophe which befel the steam-gunboat Weser, one of those two for which the late Government (Sir J. Graham's) exchanged with Prus sia her Majesty's ship Thetis, 42, one of the finest and best sailing frigates of her class on the British navy list : " Constantinople, May 3. " I sincerely hope you received my laA letter from Malta, which we left on the day it was posted. We enjoyed very fine weather and an equally good passage, reaching the various Greek islands and passing through what is known among sailors as the "Arches" in perfect safety. However, on nearing the Straits of the. Dardanelles, which we did at evening, we stood in rather too far, near a place named Suradella ; just after 11 p.m., April 24, the ship was on fire, and, as soon as that was out, which was slight, she struck very heavily on a rock, and all efforts to get her off by backing the engines proved use less. An anchor was laid out, and we remained there until the next forenoon, when several vain attempts were made by removing stores and other thin g s from her. Our consort, the Recruit, came _up just before ; the sea was now running very roughly, and boats were got out, as she was filling fast, and every one was thinking what was best to save, the men getting all their clothes on deck, and the vessel rolling so heavily that the public money, signals, and ship's boo/I-were all sent on board the Recruit, together with -such stores as could be sent, as long as the state of the sea would per mit any boats to go in safety. By some good luck, at this time, and by using all possible efforts, she was backed astern, and then got off. As soon as this was effected she filled so fast that the only chance of saving many lives was to beach the ship, and this was done, but not with out great risk, and running over so many rocks that another hole was knocked in her bottom under the en gine. The forehold at this time was filled, and the fore peak, notwithstanding the so-called water-tight com partments. As I was on board the Recruit at this time, and no chance occifrred to me to return, I had to go in her the next morning, at 4 a.m., to Gallipoli, for assist ance, and we arrived there at 10. Here again ill•luck stared us in the face, as the weather was so bad, and the place is nothing better than a roadstead. The com mander would not land until it was too late to be of any service. However, he did land, and also the next morn ing, and brought off two Turkish vessels to take on board all stores, guns, &c. Despatches were sent to Constantinople and Sir Edmund Lyons. The Recruit returned the same afternoon to Suddelbar, at 5 p.m. Here the Turkish commandant had sent fifty men to assist all they could, and the English Consul was there also. A French steamer, the Tisiphone, lent a very good engine. On the next day some Greek divers were engaged, who stopped up holes where they could, and the Oberon came down from Constan tinople from Admiral Grey. The lighters were filled, and nearly everything got out of her to lighten her, but it was not till May 2 we were in such a state, and then a very doubtful one, to proceed under any circumstances. On this ch,y we were towed, inshore side of the Recruit and two Turkish vessels astern, to Constantinople, where we arrived on the 3d, and were then again grounded to prevent us sinking. "MAT 4.

When 20 miles north of Cape St. Vincent she exchanged num bers with the Saxon steam transport ; on the 23i inst., in lat.. 43.58 north, long. 9.57 west, passed a screw man of-war with three gun-boats in tow (the Malacca, no doubt), off the Lizard, on Friday last, spoke the John Bright, and the English barque Stockton, outward bound. She has had one death among the invalids, and one of her crew on the passage. She went into Ports mouth harbour yesterday, at 3.30 p.m., to land her sick. The Baltic steam-transport (No. 192) left Ports mouth ou Saturday for Deptford. The Powerful, 84, Captain Massie, and the Calcutta, 84, Cap tain J. J. Stopford, sailed from Spithead on Satur day, for the Note ; the Powerful made good her passage, hut the Calcutta brought up at St. Helen's Roads, having lost her tide ; she proceeded yesterday morning. It is supposed they go to man the newly commissioned floating batteries Glutton and Me teor, although it is also reported they go to France on troop service ; we lean to the former report. The Empress Eugenie sailing transport left Spithead, on S a t ur day, for Queenstown, to disembark the left wing of the 15th Foot. The Golden Fleece steam transport left Portsmouth on Saturday for Southampton to refit. The Odin, 16, paddle steam-frigate, Captain Wilcox, left Spithead at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon for the Black Sea, with the mortars belonging to the six mortar vessels, the Firm, the Flamer, the Hardy, the Havoc, the Surly, the Growler, the three-first named of which vesssels she towed with her, the three latter the Rosa mood will tow hack' to. the ••place whence they came (Sheerness), there to be exchanged for the larger class of mortar boat, such as the Magnet, which are estimated as better enabled to carry the bomb.

She also carried out a large stock of the most formidable shell for the Black Sea fleet. 81% 417 require to be again kept within bounds, so that her pre ponderance would not have ceased to exist, and the ob ject of the third guarantee would have been frustrated. Would that object be better attained by the adoption of the system developed, in the second line, by Prince Gortschalioff and M. de Titoff ? The straits, it is true, would remain closed ; but the statu quo which existed before the war would' be re-established, the Russian navy would be repaired without control behind the for tifications of her ports ; and, when the Sultan would re gard an aggression as imminent, then only would he be authorised to give-the alarut to his allies. The reply to that appeal would be another war, which would prove at the same time the want of foresight of the Western Powers, and the regenerated strength of the enemy whom they are combating at present. Could they, without imprudence, consent to an arrangement which would accord to them only a momentary repose, troubled in advance 'by their own provisions? Finally, would the preponderance of Russia in the Black Sea be de stroyed, if it were necessary, at the very moment of making peace, to agree on the means of one day putting an end to it ? . zss Se 5 . 174 267 BRITISH.

To confirm this judgment I will content myself with calling to mind that Count Buol, in the last meeting on the 26th April, declared that " the Russian project, in which he could see neither a solution nor a basis for a solution, indicated only the means of reacting against the naval preponderance of Russia, when it should have already assumed the proportions of an intolerable dan ger, but in no respect tended to cause it to cease in a permanent manner, and in the ordinary state of things." The demands of the Western Powers, in conformity with the wishes of the Porte, supported to the end by the Austrian plenipotentiaries, as a complete and effica cious system, were, on the contrary, as moderate in form as they were legitimate in their nature. We asked nothing from Russia which would have caused her dig nity, and still less her honour, to suffer. We invited her, moved solely by the general interest of Europe, to fix on a basis equitably calculated and accepted by the Porte the number of vessels which she means to keep for the future in a sea in which she has to dread no at tack, and in which her navy, reduced to reasonable pro portions, amply sufficient for the regular services for which she would have to provide, would in any case have been at least equal to the Ottoman navy. The Cabinet of St. Petersburg refused this accord, which would have restored peace to the world. It bas declined the authority of the examples that were cited to it ; has forgotten that, in its last treaty of peace with Persia, it imposed itself on that power the obligation of abstaining from navigating the Caspian Sea, and of exclusively reserving that sea to the flotillas of Russia ; it has not consented to admit what France, England, the United States, and the Netherlands, under different forms, and at different epochs, have accepted, either to terminate war, or to consolidate peace, or to suppress germs of rivalry or conflict between neighbouring states. Shall I notice a point which Count Nesselrode sig nalises as forgetfulness of what is due to the sovereignty of Russia in her own territory ? He reproaches us with having desired, contrary to international law, to deny to the Cabinet of St. Petersburg the power of refusing or withdrawing the exequatur to the consuls who may be installed in the ports of the Enxine. We never enter tained such a pretension. We only demanded that no residence should be interdicted ; but it was understood tbat. according to the rides wh i ch regulate such matters, ae ons a u p l p n l o ic m ab in le ate to d hmiimghptenrsootnaalwliyayasnd not to hi s post,, from plau s ibl e mo tivesreceive, the apprebation of the Russian Government. I have now terminated, sir, this expose, and there will result from it, I hope, for all impartial minds the convic. lion that the Western Powers cannot be responsible for the continuation of a war the effects of which they have desired to stop with as much sincerity and zeal as they employed to prevent the breaking out of it. France and and England do not entertain these sentiments ascribed to them ; their hostility is not, as has been said, im placable. They have never desired to impose on Rus sia a peace derogatory to her honour and her dignity ; but necessity has charged them with a duty which, with the aid of Divine Providence, they will know how to ful fil ; and Europe, consolidated on her bases, will be thankful to them for having restrained within jut bounds an influence which everywhere endeavoured to go beyond the circle of its legitimate action.

The Essex Rifles, now numbering about 400 men, will probably in the•course of a few days be again quartered in Colchester. Orders have been received at Weedon for their departure, the route has been marked out, and they are expected to march into the town to-day or to morrow. The object of this reinovai is the completion of the necessary supplement for foreign service, and, as this may occupy some time, it is thought likely that the East Essex Rifles may be among the first to be butted in the military encampment about to be formed in the neighbourhood of ColchPster. The order for the marching of the Leicestershire Mi litia to Aldershott has been countermanded for the present. On Friday the men of the West Norfolk Militia were paraded in field order at Norwich, the noble Colonel. Commandant having invited Colonel the Earl of Albe marle to be present on the occasion. The appearance of the regiment, which now numbers 550 men, not withstanding the volunteers it has given to the regulars, was most satisfactory and creditable to the attention which Lieutenant-Colonel Custance has given to their drills. The training of the West. Suffolk Militia is proceeding very satisfactorily, and their numbers have been con siderably augmented, but as yet no orders have been re ceived for their removal. About 20 regiments have been ordered to • proceed to the encampment at Alder shott, but the Weit Suffolk is not (as has been stated) among the number. - It has been determined to increase the number of the Norfolk Militia Artillery from 200 to 400 men under the .command of a 'lieutenant-colonel, orders to that effect having been received here on Monday' last, in conse quence of which, recruiting sergeants were sent out into various districts of the county on Tuesday morning, and from the good pay and other inducements held out there is no doubt that the regiment will soon be brought up to the required number. The Royal Antrim Rifles have contributed a further quota of 30 volunteers, all fine soldierly fellows, to the Royal Artillery. This makes the number of volunteers from this spirited regiment to the line upwards of 250. The Donegal Militia gave 29 volunteers last week to the regular army. The volunteering from the Armagh and Royal North Down Rifles had to be suspended on account of the small pox having made its appearance among the men of these corps. The draughts of the Londonderry Militia, to the number of 127, have volunteered to the regiments of the line. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE PAST WEEK. Miles opened, 1855.

Few men h av e risen so 0 _ rapidly in public Cii estimation as this gentl eman. Entering Parliament little more than two y ears s i nce, nbtuifitewitrathvoeulit with a well-earned e a r uy an p d oli a tie dr .; r gm ep s u h ta ed tio l n iter a a s ry a m s a c n ie , tecedents or connections to help him forward, Mr; Layard speedily came out from the crowd of new members and took up a position as a rising ma n. Lord Derby, - Lord Aberdeen, and Lord Palmerston have successively proffered for his acceptanc e Bev ,. ral of the minor offices of their Government, and it is but justice to Mr. Layard to mention that seve ral such offers have been declined by him on the ground that he was not the "right man" for them. On the formation of the Palmerston Adminis. tration, Mr. Layard's services might, in the opinion of many of his countrymen, have been advanta geously employed as Under-Secretary of the War office. But this was not offered to him, and the feeling at the time was, and is still prevalent, that Mr. Layard was too openly committed to admini strative reform, and too zealous and sincere in his intentions to carry out a real reformation of the system, to render his position in an influential situation of the War Department agreeable to the greater more than to those of the late Administration. Unattached, therefore, to any considerable poli tical party in t h e house, and unflinching in his de nunciations of the i ncapacity and corruption which have sacrifi ced human life by the thousand and money by the millio n t Mr. Layard soon became a with " his hand against every man, and every in an , 6,l lA nd against him." This nois enviable p os iti on. Few have sufficient fixity of purpose and moral courage bto dare or to endure it. almost inevitably, Mr. Laya unself, thou g h p erha p s " mistakes. It was, no doub r t d has made several patience of Mr. Layard, as well very trying to the as to that of the na tion, to be assured tlipt the most , 6u nac delay, the gros-4 - management, countable" nts official jobbir and official jaw , the system. "ver part' could be expactedlinde circumstan all the officials were -‘.-nononrable . men men, energetic men. And, finally, that nolidy was to blame. In his anxiety, however, to find out who the parties to blame were, Mr. Layard fell into divers errors. Now are cannot' be surprised, that parties to whom the blame has been errone ously imputed, or who have been unfavourably brought before the public in • connection with the late most disgraceful ancltit4appy Crimean campaign should feel greatly aggrieved: Let Mr. Layard put himself in the place of a matt who not only knows that he has done his best, but that he has done his work well, and that but for the incapacity of heads of departments, whose depressing imbecility hangs as a dead weight on his energies, he should have obtained for himself his country's approbation, and who is held up to public reprobation and disgrace. A public man should be extremely careful how he makes state ments compromising the reputation of any servant of the public, however humble, or, let us add, however exalted, his rank or position. Mr. Layard permitted himself to be drawn into personal at tacks without sufficient evidence. We have no doubt he regrets this as much as any of his friends can do. He might also, we think, have come rather more forward in the ready acknowledgment of error. But, though on several occasions wrong in mat ters of detail, Mr. Layard has been right in prin ciple. It was a monstrous thing that England should pour out her money and her blood like water, and that -our soldiers should perish through official obstinacy and stupidity, and the British name and fame discredited through out Europe. The evil done may extend its pernicious effects through generations. The country, therefore, has been, and is with Mr. Layard in his attempts to search out the persons at whose door the war mismanagement lies, and if anything could dispose the public to take his part more than ever, it is the treatment which Mr. Layard has met with in political circles. In the house a dead set -has been made at, -him. There has been an evident and systematic attempt made to put:him down by fair means or foul. From the Premier on the Treasury bench to the juvenile ex, pectant-placeman of the back row, a determination has been clearly evinced to " crush that Layard." Out of the house, among those who make politics their profession, the feeling has been, if possible, stronger. The man that mentioned him, at once dismissed All mercy from his lips, and sneered and hissed. Nevertheless, the country is still with Mr. Layard. They believe him to be honest, capable, and cour ageous. And without wishing to defend his mis takes, or even to extenuate them, they give him their unhesitating support. Mr. Layard has this week obtained a decided triumph over his political hornets.. We refer our readers to his letter to the Times in reference to the affair of Captain Christie, and Sir James Graham's attempt to throw the odium of that un fortunate gentleman's death on Mr. Layard. Taking Mr. Layard's letter and Sir James Graham's subsequent admissions in the House of Commons, it appears evident that Sir James has confounded dates and facts and drawn inferences hostile to Mr. Layard from his own incorrect statements to an extent far worse than anything that Mr. Layard has yet done. Sir James did in reality accuse Mr. Layard of causing Captain Christie to die " broken-hearted" by his false representations. Whereas it now appears that Sir James had dis missed Captain Christie before Mr. Layard spoke about him, and any one who will read the circum stances under which this gentleman was brought to a court-martial will have no difficulty in per ceiving iv, l .4he treatment which he experienced from the Govee, ment sufficient to cause the most bitter mor fication—and distress of mind to that " old AL. gallaAtt, officer," as Mr. Layard, in his letter, styles him. Sir James has been, he says, 37 years in the House of Commons, Mr. Layard but two or three. If this veteran politician can fall into such an ex traordinary and unjustifiable mistake, the nation will not perceive the justice of Mr. Layard " being driven out of the political world" for a less offence. -Derbyshire Courier. THE REPRESENTATION OF BATH. —The Liberals of his city, having broken off their negotiation with Sir Culling Eardley, held a meeting on Friday night at the rooms of the Liberal Association, which were crowded with voters. Mr. T. Gill, the ex-mayor, presided. Mr. W. Tits, deputy-chairman of the Administrative Reform Association, was introduced by a deputation of gentle men and was cordially received. The proceedings were then opened by the chairman, who expressed his hope that, in the event of Mr. Tite's sentiments meeting the approbation of the Liberal party, they would unite to place him at the head of the poll. Mr. Tits, in an ad dress of considerable length, stated his opinions. He had nothing to conceal. He had always been a Re former, and he would vote for the ballot with all his heart. He did not want to go to Parliament pledged ; he wished them to have confidence in him that he would faithfully do his duty.
