COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAY 10. TAYLOR AND ANOTHER V. CHAMIER. In this case, which was not concluded yesterday when we went to Press, the j ury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 224-1. NSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, MAY 10. THE RIVAL MANAGERS—JuIius John Haydon, who styled himself in his schedule as a " comedian," was opposed by Mr. COOKE for a Mr. Walton, and was supported by Mr. WOODROFFE. The insolvent, it appeared, had for years travelled round the country enlightening the rural population by attending the fairs with a van of performers, ex hibiting under the well-known cognomen of " Scowton's Company," and he now ascribed his insolvency to the decline of " the arts." His " properties" had been purchased by Walton, now his rival, who followed, besides being a manager, the profession of vender of gingerbread nuts. He now opposed the insolvent on the ground that he had been collusively arrested, in order that be might take his " benefit" in this Court. The insolvent was questioned respecting the validity of the debt. He said one Dunkley had arrested him. He was a watchmaker and an actor. He had at his stow " done the juvenile business," and he owed him 201. fer a watch and salary. His salary was eight shillings a day during fair time; and the watch he had from him he had pledged at Boston for the fair ground, and had not, owing to the falling state of the " histrionic profession," been able to redeem it. To prove the non-existence of the debt, a person named Blythe was called. He had formerly belonged to the insolvent's company, but was now employed by his rival for the ward robe department and " business" in the " heavy line." He detailed a conversation, said to have passed between the insolvent and Dunkley, in which the latter claimed only a sovereign. He said his present salary was 4s. a week and his " wittles," and 7s. a day during fair time. On the other hand, a member of the " Thespian corps" was examined ; he had generally " done" the Pantaloon's " busi ness." On mounting the witness-box he assumed an imposing attitude. He was desired, amidst much laughter, to " perform slowly and mind his cues." He said his say, and declared that Blythe, before he left the " gentlemen" of Mr. Scowton's company, struck the insolvent, and he (witness) gave him a good drubbing; and, added the witness with ex tended arms, he swore " to be revenged, to be re venged." The COURT decided that Dunkley must be pro duced; his " performance" could not be dispensed with ; and the case, which afforded much amuse ment, was adjourned sine die. The attendance of the " gentlemen" belonging to the " profession" was numerous. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON- GARDEN. On Thursday, George Davis, the young man who was examined at this office on Thursday week, charged with maliciously shooting at and wounding a carman, named Thomas Cooper, in the employ of the father of the prisoner, was brought from the New Prison, to undergo a further examination upon the serious charge of wilful murder, the wounded man having died in Middlesex Hospital soon after having undergone an operation for the extraction of the bullet. He was again remanded. BREACH OF PROMISE.—Mary Bell, a good looking young woman, was brought to this office, charged before Mr. LAING, by John Duffy, a la bourer, under the following circumstances : The prosecutor lived with the prisoner for the last fortnight. On Saturday night last, he returned home, and gave her his wages, 95., to provide vic tuals for the week. She, however, quitted the place with the money, leaving him to starve, and he did not see her until he gave her into custody. Mr. LAING—What do you charge her with ? Prosecutor—l charge her with the robbery. Mr. LAING—Did you not give her the money? Yes, your Worship, to buy wittles with; not to run away with it. I have'nt got a farthing in the world, or any thing to eat. Mr. LAING—Were you not living together as man and wife ? We were living together, your Worship, but not exactly as man and wife. Mr. LAING—You cohabited; did you not ?—She cooked the wittles, and eat and drank with me ; but no other consarns, I assures your Worship. Mr. LAING—Were y ou not in the habit of sleeping in the same bed ? Prosecutor—Oh, no, Sir; never, 'pon my honour. Mr. LAING said he did not believe it. Prosecu tor—She wouldn't let me. Prisoner—No, your Worship, I would not, till he kept his word. He promised to marry me. — (Laughter.) I can assure you that we only lived together as far as eating and drinking went, and cooking the meals—no other intimacy existed be tween us. He said he would marry me some time ago, and I was anxious to have the affair settled. He put it off, and put it off, till I thought he would put it off altogether, so I took myself off. He made me his servant instead of his wife; and when he gave me the money, I paid myself my wages. — (Laughter.) Mr. LAING told her that she might now take LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 11, 1833. herself off, as there was no charge against her; and if the prosecutor had had any sense of shame ht would not have brought her to the office. They then quitted the office by each other's side. Mary upbraiding him with " breach of promise," and he reproaching her with ingratitude and robbery. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, 31.4 r 10 On the Earl of SHAFTESBURY taking his seat on the woolsack, at five o'clock, Lord KENYON presented a petition for the abolition of slavery. Lord DACRE presented petitions to the same effect from Winchester. The Duke of RICHMOND presented petitions to th , same effect. Lord LYNDHURST presented petitions from Bir mingham against the Local Courts Bill. Lord SUFFIELD presented a petition from the Tower Hamlets, signed by 25,116 persons, for the total and imme diate abolition of slavery, and similar petitions from Ayle ford, Taunton, D trlington, the female inhabitants of Read ing, Newbury, Kingston-upon-Thames, Chester, Roches ter, Chatham, Stroud and its vicinity, and other places, to the number of two hundred. Earl GREY laid upon the table, by his Majesty's com mand, papers moved for by a Noble Earl (Aberdeen) a few evenings since, relating to the French expedition to Algiers. On the Earl of RADNOR moving the second reading of the Stafford Bribery Election Bill, Lord LYNDHURST rose to make some observations arising out of the report of the Committee, in order that their Lordships might be prepared for due consideration of the point when the Bill went into Committee. It ap peared that the only proceeding now pending in the other House of Parliament was a proceeding under the Greenwich Act, which was a sort of judicial proceed ing, each party having tie right to examine such wit nesses as he thought proper. It was also in their power to call persons not necessary for the support of their case, but in order to indemnify them against the consequences of their being concerned in acts of bribery. If their Lordships should think proper to pass this Bill, he should call their attention to this point for the purpose of preventing, if possible, such abuse. This Bill was one which ought to put them upon their guard, and make them examine Bills coming from the other House. This Bill was not like other Bills directed to the point of indemnifying persons who might be exa mined as witnesses, for its object was to indem nify persons, whether examined as witnesses or not, of whatever condition, against the consequences of their violation of the law. This appears from the Bill, and was quite manifest from the evidence given. By the Bill, as it then stood, the candidates were indem nified from all penal consequences, except the losing of their seats. It was clear that the wording of the Act was not accidental ; he had compared it with former Acts, and was convinced the person who framed the Bill must have had those Acts before him. He merely mentioned that, to show the necessity for their Lordships to look very narrowly id. all Bills that came up from the other House, especially those which professed to have a virtuous object in view. He did not intend to oppose the second reading, but hoped it would be so ameliorated in a future stage as to be rendered innocuous. Lord WYNFORD spoke to the same purport. The Earl of RADNOR said, though he bad moved the second reading of the Bill, he was not answerable for the language used in it.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble and Learned Lord was wrong in his statements, for the cases between the present and the former Bills were very different. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Mo❑day. The Tiles Duty Repeal Bill went through a Committee, and was reported without amendment. The London and Greenwich Railway Bill wag read a second time. The other Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and the House adjourned. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. WHITEHALL, MAY 8, 1833.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, MAY 10. In consequence of there being a ballot to try the merits of the petition presented against the Tiverton election, the gallery did not open al half-past four o'clock. Several private Bills were advanced a stage. Mr. BARNARD presented a petition from the General Steam Navigation Company, against the Gravesend Pier Bill. Mr. DAWSON presented several petitions from places in Leicestershire, for the abolition of colonial slavery. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD presented . petitions from the parish of St. Thomas, the members of the Episcopal Chapel, and the elders of the Scotch Church, Birming ham, against slavery. Mr. M. PHILLIPS presented a petition from the Pro testant Dissenters of Manchester, complaining of the grievances under which they at present labour in respect to the solemnization of m irriages, and the registration of births ; also petitions from Chester and Birmingham, against slavery ; and from the Mechanics' Institution of Manchester, praying for the exemption of all scientific in stitutions from the assessed taxes. - . Mr. HUME supported this latter petition. Mr. R. SMITH presented petitions from places in Staffordshire, against slavery. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice, that on Tuesday next he world wave a call of the House, in consequence of the question of slavery then to be discussed. A message ?tom the Lords announced that their Lord ships had given their consent to several private Bills. Mr. WHITBREAD presented petitions from the Pro testant Dissenters of different places in Bedfordshire, against slavery. Mr. BULLER presented petitions from the county of Stafford, against slavery. Lord MILTON presented a number of petitions to the same effect. Sir R. BATESON presented petitions from the ministers and elders of Clogher and Belfast, praying that some measure might be adopted for the better observance of the Sabbath in Ireland, as well as in England. Also petitions from Coleraine, Dunboyne, Londonderry, and other places in Ireland, to the same effect. The Hon. Member also presented two petitions from Moneymore, and another place in Londonderry, against slavery. Mr. COATES presented petitions, praying for the aboli tion of slavery, from nine different congregations of Pro testant Dissenters; also a petition against the malt tax from Wellington and Watlington, in Salop ; also a petition against the Beer Bill from Market Drayton. An HON. MEMBER. presented a petition from North Shields complaining of the injury they suffer from the continuance of the embargo on vessels going to Holland, from which they suffered more than the Dutch. Since the separation of Holland from Belgium, the former coun try had been supplied with coals from the North of Eng land. This trade must be relinquished if the embargo continued ; also, two petitions from the same place, for the abolition of slavery. 111 r. YOUNG said, that his constituents also suffered much from the embargo. Lord ALTHORP laid papers relating to the ecclesiasti cal revenues of' Ireland upon the table. IRISH SECRETARYSHIP. Colonel PFIICEVAL wished to A( a question of the Noble Lora, which he should have asked yesterday had not the House so suddenly adjourned. He begged to ask - whether a Chief Secretary had been appointed or was soon to be appointed for Ireland. There were several important matters in the House, and there were to be more, respecting Ireland, which it was utterly impos Bible could be properly attended to, unless that office were filled up. Not only would business be thus delayed, and they long detained in town, but the interests of Ireland would materially suffer, as indeed it had already suffered. It was, therefore, of great importance to this House that an official person should be in the House to give them such information as might he required. None of those changes which were meditated could he effected without the pre— sence of such a functionary; and if his appointment were delayed, they would be compelled to delay their measures to a late period of the year. He complained that on the Church Rate Committee, out of thirty-eight Members, there were only two Irish Members. He had himself many communications from the county which be had the honour to represent, which papers be (Colonel Perceval) ought to have laid before the Chief Secretary for Ireland ; and under these circumstances he considered it his bounden duty to his constituents to repeat the question of which he bad given notice. Lord ALT HORP said that there could be no doubt of the importa nce o f th i s o ffi ce b e i ng fill e d u p as soon as possible. He could, however, only state to the Hon. Gentleman that hitherto great difficulty bad occurred in filling up this office, and it was not at present in his power to state when it would be filled up. FACTORIES BILL. Lord ASHLEY wished to know whether the Noble Lord opposite intended to lay the paper be had asked for, ( PRICE 7D. relating to the condition of children labouring in factories, o n the table of the House, and when. Mr. LAMB said the papers would be laid on the table as soon as possible. SOAP DUTIES. LENNARI) inquired whether those persons who had a stock of soap on hand would have any allowance made them in consequence of the withdrawal of the draw back, on the alteration of the tax upon that commodity? Lord ALTHORP replied in the negative. Mr. W. WHITMORE said that upon referring to the order book, he found that next Friday there was no ques tion before the House that would interfere with his motion relating to the corn laws, and he should therefore bring it positively forward on that day. Sir T. FRENIANTLE observed that the returns he had moved for relating to both English and foreign corn had not been laid on the table. THE DUTCH EMBARGO. On the order of the day being moved for the House to go into a Committee or Supply, Mr. Alderman THOMPSON rose to call the attention of the House to the state of our foreign relations, parti cularly with the King of the Netherlands, with especial reference to the injurious consequences w'lich the orders of November and December last had inflicted on the commercial interests of the country. He contended that the nation had also sustained heavy imputations on its honour, in consequence of its conduct in this matter. It used to be in other times the policy of Eng• land to uphold the small States against the oppression of the most powerful, but be must confess that in the politics of the present day an opposite course had been adopted. They had seised the ships of the Dutch which were in the harbour for the last six months, and they were sternly capturing the Dutch merchantmen on the high seas. It was supposed that these measures of coercion were used for the purpose of compelling the King of Holland to surrender Antwerp into the hands of the Belgians, but although that bad taken place five months ago the same system still was pursued, and on what account it was impossible for any of the parties concerned to ascertain. Some were disposed to attribute it to one cause, and some to another. Some that it arose out of the question regarding the dues to be paid by the King of Holland for navigating the Scheldt; while others attributed it to another cause.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped, however, that whatever the cause might be of the existing state of our relations with 1101. land, the Noble Lord, the Secretary of State for Foreicn Affairs, would give some definite explanation to the House on the present occasion. It was a most unparalleled state of things. An embargo had been placed on all trade between this country and Holland now for six months, and yet no progress was made in the settlement of the question. It was said these measures were necessary towards the peace of Europe but if the King of Holland had acted on the same principle that this country had adopted, it would most likely have led to war. The King of Holland, however, had adopted to his honour a different line of policy, and not only did he allow the British ships in his ports to repair to this country, but when others were thrown on the shores of Holland, they were allowed to be repaired, and had their stores recruited. In order to show to the House the extent of the loss which the country had sustained, he would state the amount of the tonnage employed in the trade between this country and Holland. He had now a petition containing facts on this subject from South Shields. He had one also from Sun derland, and he understood that the Hon. Member for Newcastle had one from that important town. He then made the following statement of the number and tonnage of ships which cleared out for ports in Holland from the port of South Shields, in the year ending sth January, 1832 :—Number of British ships, 321 ; tonnage of British ships, 54,661 ; number of foreign ships, 78 ; tonnage of foreign ships, 7,160. Not one of the 321 vessels, which had at that period been employed in that trade, could now be employed, or they must seek for other channels. He had himself recently seen 340 vessels in the port of Sunderland, lying totally unemployed, and with no prospect of being employed, because there is now no prospect of profitable employment, pr even with such as would afford a fair remuneration. ' The number of ships from British ports which entered the port of Rot terdam in 1832, was 1,200. He bad not beers able to obtain the official returns of the shipping for the last year, because the official accounts had not yet been laid on the table of the House ; at least he bad not been able to exa mine them. He would therefore next give a statement of the number and tonnage of the shipping of the United Kingdom, engaged in the trade with Holland, in the year ending the sth January, 1832, and of foreign ships in the same trade :--Number of British vessels, 1,617 ; ton nage of ditto 179,488 ; number of foreign vessels, '784 ; tonnage of ditt086,461. The British vessels were double the foreign. Every one of these were now idle. The amount of British manufactures, and of foreign and co- lonial produce, imported by British vessels into Holland was 4,631,0001. Looking also at the state of the rela tions of this country with Portugal, which also takes away a profitable and important branch of the trade of this country, Ministers ought deeply to have considered the matter before they bad taken a step which must lead the shipping interest into further difficulties; for we find, that if we take the trade of Portugal along with that of Holland, on an average of three years, it will be found that 2,000 ships have been thrown out of employment— having 220,000 tons burden ; and at a time when the shipping interest is, from other circumstances, in a state of the most trying difficulty. He knew that the trade of London during the last year had exhibited a great falling off, and he did not believe that it had been transferred to other ports; at least, he knew it had not been transferred to Liverpool. Having made this statement, the House would see what a vast injury had been inflicted upon our own trade, rather than on that of Holland ; for the ship-owners of Holland had taken measures which almost nullified, with respect to them, the object of our Govern ment. A large proportion of the merchant vessels of Holland, which were adapted to various trades, had been transferred to the subjects of neutral powers.—(Heir, hear, bear.) Hanover, and other flags (the names of some of which had never been heard of before) were used for that purpose ; and the owners of the ships received a profit of from 20 to 30 per cent. on the freight. The Hon. Alderman here read a letter from Rotterdam, dated 18th of April, and addressed to a great commercial house in London, showing the manner in which our Order in Coun cil had been evaded. But the injury which our trade had suffered was not confined to Europe. When the news ar rived in South America, and in the ports of the United States, that our Government had laid an embargo on Dutch vessels, British ships could no longer obtain invest. mews from the South and North American merchants ; they considering it manifest that the embargo was preli minary to war, and preferred to send their goods by neu tral vessels. After some time the alarm abated ; but even then neutral vessels obtained five-eighths of a penny freight, while English vessels could obtain only four-eighths of a penny freight ; the difference of the insurance being the cause of the inequality. The effect on our trade in the East had also been considerable. There were Dutch men of war at Trincomalee ; and great alarm was felt lest English ships should be detained at Batavia, as a matter of retaliation, when it was known there that Dutch ships had been detained in the ports of England. The value of the Dutch property seized in English ports was estimated at 350,0001. or 400,0001. ; the greater part of which be longed to English capitalists ; and more than two-thirds of which had been insured in England. Some part of the pro perty alleged to be Dutch, actually belonged to neutrals. Application had been made for its release, which, however, was not obtained until after great delay and expense. In one case, in which the cargo was worth only 3,000/. theexpenses of the application, of the dock charges, &c., bad amounted to no less than 2671. Se. 6d. The first Order in Coun cil, of the 6th of November, had been followed up by another, admitting the release of perishable Iles.article Great difficulties had, however, resulted from the d rence of opinion which existed, whether certain articles were perishable or not. The Hon. Alderman stated se veral cases of this description. One was that of a vessel for Rotterdam from Smyrna, laden principally with fruit She was captured and sent into Gibraltar, where she was ordered to be released on the ground of her having a pc rishable cargo. Of course she proceeded on her voyage in full confidence; but when she arrived in the English Channel, she was again seized ; and although she had the certificate of her release at Gibraltar, the application fur her release in this country was refused. Another vessel having a ,perishable cargo was detained for six weeks, by which time the cargo had perished, but no indemnifi cationallthese was mattersallowed. must pltamraulysstebLedvei trade, b e t to the . H fe o s u se s d e : h i, a s t t he could not conceive the existence a t the p resent moment o i. the Dutch from having suffered, that not one commercial failure had been the consequence in Holland. He would no longer trespass on the patience of the House, but would proceed to make his motion, hoping that the Noble Lord would throw some light upon the subj..ct. Hen. Alderman concluded by moving, as an amendment to the motion for going into the Committee of Supply, fur an account of all vessels detained under the Order in Council of the sth of November last, laying an embargo on Dutch vessels in our ports ; as also for copies of all applications that had been made to the Privy Council for the release of such vessels, &c. Mr. YOUNG seconded the amendment, and expressed his entire concurrence in the commercial view which the Hon. and worthy Alderman took on the subject ; although he must in candour add, that he did not agree with the Hon. and Worthy Alderman in his political opinions re' specting it. He was quite satisfied that the political siting tion of his ALijesty's Ministers, with reference to Holland, had been one of great difficulty ; and that they had had no alternative but to compel the King of Holland to accede to the terms proposed to him. But, concurring in the expediency of his Majesty's Ministers' object, be differed from them as to the expediency of the means which they' adopted to secure it, especially in laying an embargo, which was much more injurious to English than to Dutch commerce. Lord PALMERSTON, as it was not his intention to refuse the motion, should not go so minutely into the de tails of the subject as be might otherwise be induced to do. He was quite willing to admit that all restrictions on com merce were inconvenient. But if it were admitted as sound argument that, whatever political necessity might require, commerce ought not to be subjected to any incon venience, that argument would be operative not only against embargo, but against war; and if, in deference to that argument, we were to seetiice our political interests, the time would soon come when we should he oalled upon on the same ground to sacrifice our political independence. The question, therefore, was, not whether the embargo on Dutch vessels had been inconvenient to our conenerae (although even on that point tie statements of the Hon, and Worthy Alderman were much exaggerated), but whether there had been a sufficient political rret ttve to justify his Majesty's Government in hav ing recourse to a measure which, though one of coercioel to Holland, and inconvenience to the commerce of flare country, was nevertheless less in severity than war, to which they might have been entitled to resort. Now the question, whether the state of matters between this country and Holland was such as to justify the proceeding adopted by his Majesty's Government, was so mixed up with the consideration of all the transactions between the two coun tries for the last two years, that to go into it would in volve a much wider field of discussion than that into which the Hon. and Worthy Alderman probably intended to enter. But, if any Hon. Member would give itiineelf the trouble of perusing the documents which he (Lord Palmerston) bad had the honour of laying on the table, he would be satisfied that the state of the negetietien between this country and Holland at the time was such, that his Majesty's Government could not, consistently with the honour, the engagements, and the interests of this country, avoid taking the step which they had taken. The refusal of the King of Holland to consent to reasonable terms his rejection of the treaty of which the House was cognizant, at the same time watching his opportunity to reconquer Belgium, not only justified his Majesty's Government, but rendered it their imperative duty to do what they had eon.. ; e e ...Teething still more severe. Having two courses before them, he thought -4 been right in preferiiiag the milder. If they had chosen the moie seeeae, eel tee commercial inconveniences described by the. Honourable and Worthy Alderman would have been iefinitely greater; and others, which his Majesty's Government were very anxious to avoid, would have been added to them. The Hoo. and Worthy Alderman had talked of suppoftlns the weak against the strong. It was on that principhf that Isis Majesty's Government had proceeded. Holland was, unquestionably, stronger then Belgium. We had interfered to prevent war between Holland, and, therefore, were not liable to the odium of aiding the strong against the weak. All argument to the contrary, was founded on the sophistry that the dispute was not between Hol land and Belgium, but between Holland and England. The Hon. and Worthy Alderman expressed himself at a loss to understand how the present state of the negotiation between the two countries justified the continuance of the embargo. The House would, of course, not expect him (Lord Palmerston) to explain the precise state of the ne gotiation at the present moment. That lie should not be justified in doing. All which it was consistent with his duty to state was, that his Majesty's Government were anxious to relieve the commerce of this country and of Holland from the pressure of the measure at the earliest moment at which they could do so, consistently with the just objects which they had in view, and with the national honour. The Hon. and Worthy Alderman was mistaken in supposing that the pressure was confined to the trade of this country, and that it was not felt by the trade of Holland, He (Lord Palmerston) did not mean to say that our shipping interests did not feel inconve nience from the disruption of intercourse which the em bargo had occasioned ; although it was well known, that when one channel of commercial enterprise became closed, another was immediately opened ; and that, as the Baltic trade last year was narrowed by circumstances, it this year afforded additional employment for our vessels. Still he did not dispute that the embargo in question must necessarily have occasioned some inconvenience to our commerce. But the Hon. and Worthy Alderman had proved too much. He had stated the annual averages of British manufactures and Colonial produce exported to Holland at 4,600,0001. But, then, he said the embargo did the Dutch no injury, for they had nullified its effects by coming to our ports and carrying on their trade in neutral vessels. If so, it was clear that they also nullified its effects on British trade, for in the ships which come to this country covering the commerce of Holland, the manufactures and produce of this country must necessarily :se exported. He acknowledged that the measure was inconvenient to English commerce; but he did not think that it was so inoperative on the other party as the Hon. and Worthy Alderman represented. Until the object in view, however, was accomplished, he could not give the Honourable and Worthy Alderman any hope that his Majesty's Government would be disposed to relax on the subject. The Honourable and Worthy Alderman had ad verted to the various interpretations which had been put upon the Orders in Council, and had stated that, in some instances, the release of vessels laden with perishable com modities had been unjustly refused. He (Lord Palmer ston) could state cases of another kind in which appli cations had been made, on the plea that the vessels con tained perishable commodities, when in fact they contained no such thing. Would the House believe that application had been made for the release, on the ground of her having a perishable cargo, of a Dutch vessel detained at Swansea, whose cargo turned out to be iron ?—(A laugh.) The Honourable and Worthy Alderman said that the greater part of the Dutch ships detained in our ports were insured by British insurers. He (Lord Palmerston) believed that he should be borne out in the declaration, that the insur ance by an Englishman, of a foreign ship against war with this country, or detention or capture by this country, was illegal—was contrary to the constitution and the law,— (Hear, hear, from the Opposition.) Hon. Members cheered that observation ; but he did not hesitate to assert, that if his Majesty, acting on the suggestion of his respon sible advisers, subject of course to the opinion of Parlia ment, thought it necessary for the honour of the country to have recourse to hostile operations against another State, it was illegal for any British subject to interpose and throw his shield over the subjects of that State. He did not feel it necessary to detain the House further. The constitutional question bad been fully discussed on a former evening, when the subject was brought before the House by the Right Hon. Member for Tamwortb, and he thought of he (Lord Palmerston) then succeeded in establishin g , that the imposition of the embargo wa s, under the circum stances of the case, conformab le not onl y to the law of this cTtunt law under of the consideration The form in whichthe House, would afford b im an o pp ortu nity of offering further explanation, should any circumstances occur to t r h y e , b q ut uest to ion the general com e render it desirable ; at present it was unnecessary for him to say more. Mr. LYALL said that it was impossible the shipping which was thrown out of employment by the embargo could find employment in any other direction. In spite of the sneers of the Noble Lord, he could not help feeling a sort of compassionate sympathy for our ancient ally. it was impossible to allow mere considerations of commercial interest altogether to efface the recollection of our former connection with that country—of how much we were indebted to the collateral ancestors of the pr esent Kiog : ! Holland.
