MONEY rifA7,KI2IT AND eOlVfivreaClAL INTELL/GENrz. CITY. Two o'CLoom, The Liverpool Cotton Marko, yesterday closed steadily, and a moderate business doing, without any change in prices. The sales .were estimated at 7,000 bales, including 1,000 taken for export, and 1,000 on speculation. The Railway Share Market closed quiet, and prices of all the leading shares were on the decline. Accounts from Lyons state that the manufacturers there find a difficulty in obtaining a sufacient quantity of silk for their wants, consequently there has been some large importations of foreign silks during the week. Very little burin ess has been done in French silks, and these have brought the high prices of the previous week. It is expected, however, that prices will become more moderate when the prod-xe of Italy and Piedmont is brought into the market. Advices from Naples and Turin report a limited production of silk this season. Advices from Havre report an active trade in grai4 and flour, at full rates. Sales of 12,000 kilos. of Brittany wheat realised 78f. per 200 kilos.; 40,000 ditto, 80f. ; 24,000 ditto, 85f. ; and. 4,000 barrels American flour 45f. per barrel. The market for coffee was brisk, including a sale of 5,000 piculs Padang qualities, at 128 f. per 50 kilos., and 600 bags St. Domingo at 79f. to 82f. per 50 kilos. The arrivals at the port include a vessel h:om America with 4,572 sacks wheat and 1,991 barrels flour. The Bank of England Weekly Reti irn completed to the sth inst. is considered of a very unfavour- able character, a material decline having taken place in the stock of bullion and also in the reserve of notes. It was generally anticipated that the changes would be important, but not quite so discou raging as they have proved. The withdrawal of gold from the Bank of England for transmisFAion to the Continent is expected to continue, and it is stated that the Bank of France is now effecting purchases of the precious metals. The various alterations exhibited in the balance-sheet fully explain why the Directors at the last Board meeting considered it inexpedient to reduce the minimum ; and although money out of doors is still comparatively cheap, it is not improbable that the discount houses will soon refuse to negotiate commercial paper at the quotations noiv current. If arrivals of gold take place from Australia they Would no doubt exercise a beneficial influence, as they would supply the present export demand and check a further decline in the stock of bullion. The Bank of France Return has formed au import anttopic of conversation in the City, and, although some of the Paris journals endeavour to show that ,• the reduction in the metallic deposits has been oc casioned by extensive purchases of silk, wool, dic., it 1. g nevertheless believed that financial affairs in Paris are, at present in an unsettled state.

IS 1 , The members of the Stock Exchange are very much dissatisfied at the manner in which the shares of the Ceylon Railway Company have been allotted, for, notwithstanding their money, which accompanied their applications, has been locked up for more than a fortnight, they now find that, in the majority of cases, they have received no shares at all. In one or two cases influential firms have received such an insignificant quan tity that they have returned their allot ments in contempt. It should be remem bered, however, that a very small number was available for distribution, and the only just cause of Complaint is the delay which has occurred in the allotments. We should imagine that a week would have been a trifle, and the expression of feeling now noticed on the Stock Exchange will, it is hoped, act as a caution to the promoters of other joint stock companies. Support has been given to the Market for Eng lish Securities to-day by purchases of stock on account, as is reported, of the Court of Chancery ; but if it had not been for these operations it is pro bable there would have been renewed heaviness. The unfavourable returns of the Banks of England and France, and the prospect of the money market not improving at present, have induced parties to speculate for a decline in prices, and the market consequently has had a downward tendency. This morning, however, owing to the circumstances above alluded to, Consols have risen to 953 to 951 for money, and 951 to 96 for August. The New Threes are 9G to 97, and the Reduced 951 to N.

Naval and Military: Intelligence We deeply regret to announce the death pf this gentle man, who expired on Thursday last, after a long and painful illness. He• was well-known and widely respected by a large circle of friends. Fer trowardi of twenty yews; be superintended the Turf Department of the Sunday Times, and was more recently appointed sporting contributer to the London daily papers. Of the zeal, aryl impartiality with which Mr. Feist discharged his arduous duties', every person who takes an interest in racing matters is aware. Without fear or favour he ever exposed the abuses of the Turf, whilst at the same time he earnestly advocated the true claims of the na tional ellen to public patronage and protection. Many of the reforms which have of late taken place in the eco nomy and practice of horse-racing eta attributable to Mr. Feiss - . By his exertions, too, a system of reporting was established, as complete as it was remarkable, and his zeal it was which fprnished the public with full and accurate account] of race meetings, in whatever part of England they took place, on the very day after those meetings were held. It was in the discharge of his arduous duties that Mr. Feist contracted the illness which terminated in death. About two years ago, after pursuing his labours throughout a drenching rain, he was compelled to travel to London in his wet clothes. A severe cold ensued, accompanied with periodical attacks of rheumatism, and from that time his constitution gradully broke. Mr. Feist's career was a chequered one. He was born in Beverley, in Yorkshire, his father being a clergyman in that town. He was intended for the law, but dur ing his study for that profession in London ho became acquinted with many young men who had adopted the stage as a profession, and who have since become famous. Mr. Feist imbibed a taste for theatrical pursuits, and, quitting London, he joined the then celebrated Norfolk and Suffolk company of comedians. On marrying, he quitted the stage and commenced a career as school master at Swaffhana, in Norfolk. After a sojourn of about a dozen years in that town, he left it and opened a school at Newmarket, where he lived for a considerable period. Mr. Feist was the author of many school-books, which are now in general use. A large family is left to deplore his loss. Prince Oscar of Sweden will visit Wobhvich Arsenal' to day.

The tender of Messrs. Rigby, of London and Woolwich, for the for mation of longitudinal and transverse slipways and slips for each pair of vessels has been accepted. By the means proposed to be adopted vessels will be removed on cradles at any high water, and oven at neap tides. So urgent is the necessity for this work that the contractors have agreed that the slips shall be ready for occupation in three months. The site is on the Gosport or Hasler shore. It is proposed that each pair of gunboats should be covered . with a simple and light iron roof, resting on iron standards. Mr. Mac donald has been appointed to superintend the work on the part of the Government, and Mr. Aslatt on the part of the contractors. The Board of Admiralty have also ad cepted the tender of Messrs. King and Son, of Portsea, for the erection of three addition! pavilions in the Royal Marine Light Infantry Barracks at Forton, Gosport, capable of berthing 400 additional men.

The dismissal Of the two hospilt (lora is definitively decided on. Another matter that must soon be settled is, whether an ambassador extra& - dinary shall be sent to be present at the coronation f the tinperor of Itossa. As all the other great powe s send one; Turkey eau bardiy-t)rm an exception. There is a 'difficulty, however, in the matter, which ie, that the Emperor Alexander has not yet notified to the Sul tan his occasion tithe throne. It is, however, thought that Russia may make the notification by an autograph letter or by some intermediary ; and in that CASO,Turkey would send an atubas. , ador. The person most likely to be selected for the, raif4ion is Ifehemet Pacha whofulfilled the functions of caimacan during Aali Pacha s absence. Another scandalous: affair which proves that in Turkey the Turks eke/ PO the. most intolerant has just occurred at Harpout, in Asia Minor. The child of an Armenian family, some tithe since converted .to Pro testantism, lately died, and its 'parents had it buried in the Armenian cemetery, the only one for Christians at Harpout. As soon as the Armenian bishop was informed `of the fact, be proceeded to the cemetery at the head of the inhabitants belonging to his communion and had the body dug up an d thrown into a neighbour ing field, there to be devoured_ by dogs. The go vernor being apprised of what was done, sent parch to protect the body while he made the most energetic remonstrances to the bishop. As the prelate would not yield, the body was reinterred by the autho ritiei. The Porte has addressed a note to the Armenian patriarch on the subject, demanding the di sm i ssa l o f t he bishop, and has sent orders to the governor of Harpout' to give the Protestaiegn.pioce of ground for a cemetery for themselves." The Frankfort Post Zeitung learns from Vienna that Prince Gortsehakoff fully agreed with Count Buol, that the Danubian Principalities " ought not to be united ;" but you may be assured that such was 'not the case. A letter from Parina of the 2d, in the Ri3or. gimento of Turiu, says :--,"We are told that Marshal.

They stated that they held possession of property which had descended to them as rightful heirs, and had come down to them from the owners three centuries ago. O. the conquest of the Punjaub the Board of Administration recom mended that a fourth of their property should be retained by the Government and that three-fourths should be held by themselveS. Comidering the peculiar circumstances of the [country at that time, and the expenses to 'which the Government were taitject, they did not object to that arrangement. In 1853 the ledian Go vernment confirmed that decision so far as allowing the three-fourths of the property to be kept by them during their lives, but one-third of the property should pass to the descendants of those Indian land owners. Subsequently the Indian Government refused to confirm the latter arrangements, consequently the petitioners, "who were the heirs of the propietors with whom the arrangements were made, weredeprived of their inheritance, and therefore exposed to penury and want. The petitioners complained of this treatment, which was most unwarrantable towards them, inasmuch as they stated that, so far from opposing the British authorities in India, they had rendered them good service in Scinde. They prayed the interference of their lordships' house in their behalf. The Duke of ARGYLL said, whataver doubts might be raised as to the circumstances under which other . Harts of India were acquired by the British, there could be no dOubt is - to our right of taking possession of the provinces of the Punjaub, and dealing with the property as they thought best. The principles by which the East India Government were actuated were to respect the grants already made, but not to go beyond that. The noble duke here read an extract from the instruc tions of the.GOvernor-General to the Board of Adminis tration in the Punjatib, which laid down as a general principle the assessment of the land for the purposes of the Government. He shciuld state that the property in question was not land, or revenue derivable from land, but grant of remission from taxation on land. The Gd vernor-General having laid down in his instruction the general principle, went on to detail the different classes of cases with which the Board of Administration would have to deal ; and the - case which the noble earl had brought forward came under the fifth head of the instruc tion, namely, " that all pergolas holding land's subject to pay fines should hold them for their lives, - subject to the payment of one-fourth to the revenue,. and that on the death of the holder the property. would be resumed by the Governinwit." The general principle was, that the grants were respected as regarded the existing hold ers ; but should not be continued to future holders, ex cept those which had been given for certain religious purposes. It was under these general rules that this case stood. If the claim were conceded in this case it must be conceded in all others of a similar nature, and that it would involve the sacrifice of one-fifth of the whole re venue of the province, the abstraction of which would necessarily throw the whole fiscal system into confusion, and render it:difficult, if not impossible, to carry on the Government. He 'was not in possession of any very full information of 'the pounds which had led the supreme government of India to decide that this was not one of the exceptional cases contemplated in the general rules,' but he would submit the petition to his night hon. friend the President of the Board of Control, and if his right hon. friend Saw grounds, he was sure that neither the India Government, nor the Court of Directors, would refuse to reconsider the decision to which they had come. They must not, however, lose sight of the ,dif&culties of the case, nor forget that a favourable decision in this case might involve a Similar decision of 5,000 or 6,000 others. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGII—Tbe noble duke will recollect that the commissioners reconaineuded that their) persons should have one-third of the whole amount' settled in perpetuity upon their families. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE urged the necessity of some further inquiry instigated by their lordships, ob serVing that if the matter were to end by simply laying the petition upon the table, the whole proceeding be a farce, and thelioast that the house was open as a court of appeal to all 'subjects of the Crown who corn• plained of injustice a "sham." The petition was then oidered to lie on the table. THE MILITIA STAFF. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH rose, pursuant to notice, to call the attention of her Majesty's Government to; the constitution and.pay of the permanent staff of the militia regiments, and to ask what were their intentions upon• the subject, and also what were their intentions with re ference to the retention of quartermasters on the perma nent staff t He, remembered that great exertious. bad been made during the war to bring the militia into is state of efficiency, and he had heard from the most com petent judges in military matters that those efforts had b_en eminently successful—(hear)—but now that the force was about to be disembodied, unless means were taken to maintain a competent staff, the force would in a few months be as inefficient, and as utterly unfit for active service, as it was when the war first broke out. He understood that. an opinion had been expressed in both houses in favour of keeping up a strong militia force, not in numbers, but such a force as in the event of any sudden emergency would form the nucleus of a more powerful and sufficient force, immediately avail able for garrison duty here, so,as to leave the regular army free for foreign service, and also to sapply volun teers to the line, who would be qualified at once to be in corporated into the service cou'panies. The point, how ever, to which he now wished to call attention was the condition of the permanent staff, and the manner in which it was constituted and paid. He had conversed with many officers upon the subject, and their unanimous opi nion was, that with the present staff it would be impos sible to keep up . the efficiency of the regiments, and that it would be necessary to have recourse for that purpose to the assistance of non-commissioned officers of the line. The number of serjeants allowed—viz., two to a corn pany—was obviously insufficient to keep the regiment in a proper state of drill. He recommended teat the num ber of serjeants should be increased, that the drum main., the paymaster's clerk, and the hospital se,j,:ant should he retained, and that their pay should be large enough' to obviate the necessity of their seeking fur other employment to enable them to exist. He complained of the hardship which the arrangement for the disembodi-• ment of the force iefilicted upon the quartermasters. In certain of the regiments the quartermasters were to be ret tined at the reduced pay of ss. a day, but if it was ne cessary to have quartermasters in one regiment it was equally so in another, and it was impossible fur a regi ment that had to be called out every year for training to do wil - hout such an officer. The regulation which re quired the quartermaster to be a subaltern also operated iej4iriouely in the case of non-commissioned officers, who, being in every way qualified, were willing to accept the office of quartermaster, but objected to the subaltern's commission. The expense of continuing the staff in such a state as 'Would at all times insure the efficiency of the force would be comparatively trifling, while the advan tages which would result were almost incalculable. The Duke of RICHMOND spoke to the r wile effect, He hoped h s noble friend would see the importance of keeping such regiments as he retained in a state of effi cieripy. If they could not afford ten, let them keep five ; but fur Heaven's sake keep them as regiments ought to be kept, Lord. PANMURE said that with reference to the militia generally, Government had listened with great allention t.) the opinion which had been expressed by well•qualified persons. The intention was to keep up in each case a certain permanent staff, which although per haps not sufficient f,,r a whole regiment, still would be a nucleus which, with the addition of some uou-ccrernis 4ioned officers, would complete a regiment. With re ference to the pay of that staff, he thought that wit, re ference to the noncommissioned officers the allowance of 104 6.1. a week would be sufficient for them, in addi tion to any meet employment they might have. In deed he doubted whether if they were confined ex clusively to military duties there would be, any military duties for them to perform. With regard to drawing their rations at contract prices he saw no objection to the adoption of his noble friend's suggestion. ; Tue case of the quartermasters bad been , considered, and he did not think it would be exercising a wise discretion to ap point these officers where the stores to be attended to were only small in amount. His noble friends would see that the whole of the militia question had been care fully considered by the Government. After a few words from several noble lords, The conversation then dropped. THE POLISH - EX ILES. Lord LYNDHURST then rose to ask the questio'n of Which he had given notice. He said—My Lorde, alloW me, even at this late hour of the evening; to say. a few words for the purpose of explaining the object I had in view when I intimated my intention of asking the ques tion of my noVe friend of which I have given him notice In a recent publication by an eminent foreign statesman, the Count de Is , lontaletnbert, he complains in strong terms of the course pursued by the late Congress ac Paris in censuring the Governments of Naples and Greece. He contrasts the course of proceedings on that occasion with the silence that' prevailed in respect to the wrongs of Poland, and be comments both diplomatically and morally upon the consequences of the ancient treaties that bad been entered into. 'Feat leprned gentleman en. larges upon those topics with his usual ability. lam certainly compelled to admit that, so far as -appears on the fce of the protocols, there is nothing wl atever to show that the affair's of Poland were at all brought under the consideration of congress. I know mynoble friend oppo..:ite too well—l have too high an o pi n i on of his generous character to suppose for a moment that he could be siletit uPera such a s•9l-tP-cf:. I am I.lrsuaded, fromithe circumstances, that such an omission on the part of my noble friend is quite rolapos f ,ibl e . Allow me for a molutnt to recall to your lordship' at t eu ti o n some of the pet eirctiMstances Comueeted vtith this question. _ I. The late conereee represented the sovereigns, who were also represented at the COngress of Vienna in 1815. Spe knoiv very well that one of the most important subject* . considered' at the Congress of Vienna was an arrangee ment in respect to Poland. There was then a clear and unanimous conclusion cones to upon, this point.lot; 2 w l a e s agreed upon, i n about a month, aftele-ennee str that the 'duchy of Wareave should be raised M ena ee l " 'dem, -and that th e C rown s h ou ld b e con f erre d upon' 4; - E , fiperor of Russia for the time being. But there • wee, then- an express and diitinct condition, insisted upon with . great earnestness by all the parties to'' the treaty, and by another personage, - perhaps, with still greater earnestness, that other being Viscount Castle. reagla -- -thatbondition teas, that Poland should remain a separate kingdom; that she should not be incorporated with' the Russian empire ; that the national institutions of the country should ba observed • that Poland should have a representati ve assem b ly ; that the administration of her financial department and her army should also be maintained (distinct. These, my lords, were the terms and conditions which were thought necessary to be imposed absolutely under the general arrangements. The Empe ror Alexander swore to the observance of those condi tions. Nicholas also swore to the observance of those conditions, but he afterwards disregarded the oath he - had taken, he broke faith with the allies, notwithstanding their most earnest remonstrances. Regardless of his'oath he incorporated the territories of Poland in the empire of Russia, and made them an integral part of the Russian empire. From the period of Alexander's death, Nicho las passed a series ef laws, Vie object of Which'evas to extinguish Poland both in name and character. The great institutions at Warsaw were trans ferred to St. Petersburg. The universities of Warsaw and the other cities of Poland were abolished. The na tional schools were aholishse I orrc modeller), and thowiands of the inferior orders of nobles were transported to dis tant parts of the - Russian eropre. The language of Rns sia was introduced into the laws of Lithuania and ofother Polish states, and into every school of the empire per sons were appeinied to instruct the people i n the Russian language, and the press of the country was altogether prohibited. • Everything was placed under Russian command. All these circumstances must have been present in the mind of my noble friend at the time of the congress. And the more so, when he recollected that in the last year of the war we had been engaged in forming a Polish Legion, which was to be com manded by the most eminent of the exiles. Under these circumstances it is, I say, impossible that my noble friend opposite could have been silent upon this question at the congress, and for the reasons to which I have re ferred. My noble friend must then have brought tinder view of the plenipotentiaries of Russia the existing state of Poland, and must have earnestly remonstrated with them upon the subject. I entertain no doubt what ever of the course that was then taken by my .noble friend, but the result, I am sorry to say, has been most unsatisfactory. No substantial issue, it appears, bps at. tended the remonstrances of my noble friend. So far from that being the case, the government of Russia has taken every pains to convince Europe and the inhabie tants of Poland that it will not allow any intervention with respect to that territory or with respect to the mode in which it is governed. Why do I say thii, my lords ? refer to what has recently taken place at Warsaw on the visit of the Emperor of Russia to that place, and to the language which was held on that occasion to the two assemblies that met for the pur pose of welcoming him on his entry. Those two as semblies, the assembly of the clergy and the assembly Of the nobles, the latter headed by their president, were on that occasion addressed in a very short, pre cise, and emphatic - speech. Tile Emperor said no thing could induce him to depart from the policy pre viously-adopted with respect to Poland. He declared it was for the interest of Russia that Poland'should form a part of.the Russian empire—apart of the Russian family, adding also that it was for the interest of Poland. This was followed by a slight-murmur. He continued, "En tertain no illuiimas, or if you do keep them within -your. selves, and let them lead son to only - noble aspirations. For if they go beyond that, I who can reentrd can also punieh e andef a necessity occurs I will punish." Bute-above all, in concludiug his epeech—" no visionary dreamt—no visionary dreams." - My lords, nothing can be 'more marked titan this speech ; nothing more marked than the policy intended to be adopted. And I must therefore re gret that whatever passed between my noble friend and the plenipotentiary of Ruseis at the congress has not been attended with any beneficial result. But, my lords, that is only part of the subject to which I would call at tention. At the congress my noble friend expressed astrong and earnest desire that an amnesty should be granted by the king of Naples for political effencee. It is then ins possible to suppose for a mo rent thatmy noble friend did not urge that an amnesty should also be extended in fa your of the Poles. My noble friend does not give any signs of assent at this moment ; but I am persuaded he . mutt have urged the necessity of such an amnesty. My lords, I say what is called an amnesty'has been granted, fur " it keeps the word of promise to the ear, but breaks it to the hope." Eeerything that deserves to be called an amnesty should be of a comprehensive character. It should be general—it should be precise in its terms ; while as to any exceptions they should be distiuct and clear; and be of such a mature as to be justified in the opinion :of Europe. Now, try this amnesty by this test. It is stated that those who had left Poland should be free upon their retere from indictment and prosecu tion. Bat under what circumstances are they to return —what are their limits ? Every person who desires :to return is in the first instance to 'present a_ petition ; he must state under what circumstances he left the territory of Russia, and he must state minute - y every- - thing that occurred to him from that period down to the moment of his - return.- It the officer of the government is satisfied with his explanations, then only is be to be perrni fed to avail himself of the amnesty, and he is to have his civil tights restored to h;m. But, my lords, we all know that there was a sweeping confis cation of the property of the etnigraut4; still not a word is said of the restoration of that property, or any part of it. So that any man who is allowed to return will re turn houselese, an outcast, and penniless. Such is the amnesty, so far as he is concerned. And what is his situa tion after his return ? He is' for 3 years under the surveillance of the Russian police (and every one knows what is the position of a person under the surveil lance of the Russian police); and at the expiration of that period, if the official reports are favourable to him, he is allowed to be a candidate for official employment. But, my lords, there are exceptions. I have stated, etecetei tions ought to be well defined. The exceptions here, however, are ei the most vague and unsatisfactory kind. No person is allowed to return who has exhibited a - spirit of hostility •to the Russian Government.., And who is to decide the questi in of hostility against the Russian Government? The officers of tie Russian Go vernment! My lords, what can-be - more unsatisfactory than a provision of this kind ? But there is one more point to which-I must. call attention. We all know that the struggle for the independence of Poland some of its most distinguished inhabitants were made prisoners, and were sent en foot in chains to the deserts of Siberia. No part of the amnesty comprehends Any of that class. Are you then surprised when you are told that the moat eminent of the Poles have refused to avail themselves of this amnesty. They have stated so in a resolution to which I shall call your lordships' attention, if my nobleefiiend shall think fit to lodge a copy of these papers upon . the table of the house. The Poles say, with great propriety, " We do not object to this anniesty from-personal cons siderations, but upon principle. If we 'were to avail our selves of this amnesty we should admit the injustice of our conduct in struggling for the preservation of. the rights of our country, and we should admit the justice of the proceedings which have been taken asainst us." On this ground, therefore, they ref tee, to avail themselves of the amnesty, and in doing so I think they have acted with the greatest propriety. If my noble friend did exert himself at the congress on behalf of Poland, I think the result of his interference must not only have been morti fying to himself; hut offensive to the Government which he represented. My lords, it may be said, and I dare say it is said, to be very inconvenient to bring forward a question of this kind at the present moment. Ido not at all subscribe to teat opinion. The Government of the country is not responsible for anything teat falls from me. lam not speaking as the se presentative of any party ; 1 speak my own opinions, though I an sure, in delivering those opiaione, I speak in accordance with !the sentiments of all honest and intAigent-men in this country, as well as in Europe.' (Cheers.) I feel it is the duty of every one who is placed in a situation where his voice can be heard, to raise that voice for the purpose of denouncing injustice, tyranny, and oppression. My lords, to couneit•.injustice is a crime ; but to permit injustice silently may be to participate in that crime. (Loud cheers.) I wish, therefore, to put to my noble friend Opposite the question of which I have given him notice, whether he has received any official commu nication of the recent act of amnesty in favour of the Polish exiles by the Emperor of Russia ; and, if whether he will lay a copy of it on the table of the house; and whether he will explain t h the house and the coun try whether any, and what steps were taken during the recent congress for the purpose of mitigating the misfor tunes of the inhabitants of Poland ? The Earl of CIA RENDON=My lords, when the amnesty to which my noble and learned friend has called ~ your attention was published we had neither any diplomatic or consular agents in Russia, and, consequently, we have received no copies of it that we can lay before Parliament, But the amnesty has been published in the neivspapere, and I have no doubt it is correctly given, and, therefore, that the observations of my ncble, friend have reference to what his actually taken place. My noble friend was required to make no apo logy for b r i ng i ng t hi s ques tion under your lor dshi p s ' consideration. He Sal El truly that he speaks as an independent member of this house, and that he belongs to no party ; that he is perso nally respon.ible for what he says, and that he thought it 10a duty to lift up his voice against what he characterised as injustice and oppression. My lords, I say my noble friend is quits at liberty to follow that course ; but he will, I am sure, Lt the same time, understand that the respon s.bility which rests upon me, considering the office which I have the honour, to hold, %kill l nvent my following hint as to the acts - of a foreign government ,and if I re frain from doing so, it is because I believe thAt by a oon trary clurse the cause which he has at heart would be prejudiced ja many respects. My lords, in answer t) my nob'e friend, I have to assure him that, feeling fully sliye to all those facts which he has narrated to your lordetiipe, the British iu s conjunction with the plenipeteetiaries of France, lead detern iacd to bring the question of Poland before the Congress, together with other matters if a general European-interest. We bad every reascn to believe that the intentions of the Emperor of Rusia towards Poland were generous and benevolent, We believed that the Emperor we prepared to grant a general amnesty ; to restore certain national ineti tu tion v e to Poland, and , t a n u d i,l t e o u l a )l i tee nai e l d ict ue o a t t i i i z in that country upn a wider 417:, Has , the mil an her ire ?aria the aper gY) ok," Bug- cited John 1.00 82 , 3 1 100 100 I 00 3: 10J lop all 400 a) 1 WI 1.00 WO 100 1.00 20 20 100' 50 100 100 100 100! 25 25 sO 100 j 5 i 101 I 27 93 5 111 i 62j i 2 106 i 74 3i 82 la 2I 4 14i i 224 3 41 ri B 4i fi 61 131 i 34 3L if~ ~• all a,l 10 100 all • all all 1,0 all 1100 40 5 St. 25 284 1 J .. . f: I
