FRENCH said he had given notice of his 101 Western of France • • ........ ‘ 3,487 4,83 3 than Russia, but simply because in these manifestoes there has been an evident want of truth, and because they have been wholly unsupported by facts. (Hear.) My lords, the Russian people—by which I mean the upper, the middle, the educated classes, such as constitute, and as far as is permissible, express public opinion in Russia—these people all know that their religion has been exposed to no danger, nor have they any reason to think that the religion of the Greeks has been exposed to danger, because they know that the only object in dis pute, to which, indeed, much importance was attached —that of the Holy Places—has been satisfactorily set tled, and it is remarked by them, that in none of the manifestoes, nor in the despatches yet published, is there any statement of facts, still less any instance adduced of complaints having been made by Greeks to their patri arch, to the Sultan, or to the Emperor, either of reli gions oppression, or of their having been deprived of any . right which they had formerly enjoyed. I say it is manifest, therefore, that that was not the true cause. If those declarations had stated that the Principalities were necessary because the Danube would make a better boundary than the Pruth, or that the time was at length come for possessing Constantinople ; or, better sti l l, for undermining the authority of the Sultan, an d rend er i ng him a mere vassal, and dependent on Russia—to such declarations there might have been a respo nse, but to t he sham cry of religion, I trust there will be none. Your lordships will also remember what a remarkable absence, as my noble friend stated, of any religious excitement, there has been during the last twelvemonth in Turkey. Mahomedan fanaticism and its melan choly results in former times are too well known ; but in the present instance they have, happily, been wanting. No spirit has been called forth, but that which we our selves can admire and sympathise in —(cheers)—there has been a national spirit—a brave determination on the part of the Turks to resist, at all hazards, the invaders of their country. (Hear, hear.) But, my lords, these manifestoes and these exciting appeals, which have been more addressed to the Greek subjects of the Porte than even to the Russians ; these agents that have gone among the Greek subjects of the Porte to excite them to revo lt ; this enrolment of 3,000 Wallachians for the per. pose of bearing arms against their Sovereign, all this is nothing but a servile copy of the course pursued by all revolutionists and propagandists, whose acts the Emperor has always been denouncing as the greatest political crimes—(hear, hear)—and to whose discomfiture all the energies of his life have been devoted. (Hear, hear.) I say, then, it is utterly un j us ti fi a bl e , and with out: ex cuse, to give to this war the character of a religious war; and still less is there any cause for the charge, the por tentous charge, as my noble friend has called it. which consists in accusing the French and English Govern ments of allying themselves with the enemies, and against the friends, of Christianity. My noble friend has truly stated what the character of this war is. My lords, we are going to engage in a contest in support of the prin ciples of justice and of sound policy. (Cheers.) We are about to prevent the pernicious example being given of a weak state being overwhelmed by a powerful neighbour ; we are about to prevent an unjust interpretation of a treaty from being supported by violence— we are about to prevent the terri torial limits established by treaty and the equilibrium of Europe from being violently disturbed ; and I hope that we shall also, as my noble friend has said, put a stop to that blighting influence which has deprived more than one country in Europe—indeed, I may say, so large a portion of Europe—of free action ; an influence which has always been exerted to check that progress which is essential to the welfare of nations ; an influence more over, which, by stigmatising as revolution, and by check ing all those improvements which governments have been willing to make, and which the people have deemed that they had a right to expect has encouraged disloyalty and discontent. I entirely agree with my noble friend that greater privileges have been enjoyed by Christians under Mahomedan than under Russian government. It is perfectly true that it may be owing to the indifference of the Sultan that such a 'state of things has been brought about. But, my lords, theta is no reason why the Sultan exercising despotic power, should not say, "The Ma homedan religion is the religion of the state, and no other shall be professed here ; there is no reason why he should not say, "The Koran contains all truth, and the Bible shall be prohibited." (Hear, hear.) But, my lords, as my noble friend has said, what we have to do with is, not motives but realities and facts. Your lordships will find in addition to what my noble friend has alluded to in his speech to-day—you will find from the papers recently laid on the table that the Sultan has by decrees issued during his last year proclaimed his ardent wish and firm intention that all classes of his subjects should be per fectly at ease with respect to their religious and spiritual affairs. He has further said that the concessions which have been made to protestants should for ever remain inviolate. That, my lords, is the measure of the Sultan's liberality and toleration ; my noble friend has given you that of the Emperor's. (Hear, hear.) And I may add, still further, that it was only last year that the Sultan gave a large tract of land to be used as a burial-ground by the Christian community, with liberty to protestants to erect a chapel and to perform divine service there ; and this was at a time when papers were laid on your lordships table by which the country was informed that among other nations who would probably consider themselves degtaded by way of comparison with Turkey, the protestant religion was strictly pro hibited, and the protestant dead were ignominiously smuggled into the grave, My lords, under these cir cumstances, and with reference to the desire which has been manifested by the Sultan, not only to secure to his Christian subjects the full and free exercise of their religion, but also to improve their civil condition, I will take the liberty of reading t) your lordships a document which reached my hands only about half an hour before I came down to the house. It is a des patch from Lord Stratford de Redeliffe, and I think your lordships will be glad to hear it, as corroborating what my noble friend has stated in his speech. It is dated " Constantinople, Feb. 25," and is as follows : " I have much satisfaction in reporting to your lordship that the finnan for establishing Christian evidence on an equality with Mussulman throughout the Turkish empire is complete—(hear)—and that it received the Sultan's sanction shortly before I had the honour to receive your lordship's instructions relating to the question which it has now settled once for all on a broad and firm basis. (Hear, hear.) I have received a copy of it from the Porte. No time will be lost in promulgating it, and I propose to send a translation of it by the Trieste steam-packet, which goes to sea the day after to-morrow. I have reason to hope that this great act of long withheld justice will be followed by other proofs of the Sultan's comprehen sive beneficence and of the improved spirit prevailing among his Mahometan subjects. It is my ardent wish that the Christian and other non-Mussulman classes of the population of this empire may duly appreciate the benefit conferred upon them, and justify by their peace ful and loyal behaviour the increasing goodwill manifested towards them by the Sultan and his Government. The haratach is no longer levied in a manner vexatious to individuals, but it is an unjust and degrading tax for the complete abolition of which I shall continue to employ my strenuous exertions. (Cries of "Hear, hear.") My lords, I thought that as my noble friend was about to bring his motion before the house, I would not wait till this document was laid on the table. But I say, my lords, with reference to what the Sultan has already done, and to what I think there is evidence of his inten tion to do, I cannot omit this opportunity of express ing my deep regret at the movement which has taken place among the Greek subjects of Turkey. (Hear.) My . lords, I admit that great civil reforms are still neces sary, and that the Greeks have still much to complain of; but I am perfectly convinced that it is not by in surrection that anything good or solid will be done. (Hear, hear.) I am perfectly sure that it is not by idle dreams of a Byzantine empire that the position of the Greeks will ever be improved ; it is not by playing the game, while abhorring the dominion of Russia, that the Greeks will ever secure their object ; it is not by thwart . ing, but by confiding in the Four Powers, that the re quired improveme n ts w ill b e e ff ected. (Hear.) And I must take this opportunity of repeating, what I said a few nights ago, that the Four Powers who are now engaged in'supporting, and who are determined to up hold the Ottoman empire, would ill perform their duty, would show that they did not understand the true cha racter of their mission, and would neglect not only the interests of Christianity, but the best interests of the Sultan, if they did not take care to secure the civil as • well as the religious rights and immunities of the Chris tian subjects of Turkey, and to open the way for Chris tian civilisation with its progress and its prosperity, which will eventually prove the best shield for Turkey against foreign aggression, and her surest protection against internal disturbance. (Hear, and cheers.) Earl GREY was very glad to hear the charge which had been brought by Russia against England and France repudiated by her Majesty's Government. At the same _time it was v er y i m p or t an t th a t t h e i r l or d s hi ps s h ou ld !_c't, amid the enth us i asm w ith w hi c h t h ese announce ments were received, forget the real state of the facts. s•all_noble t friend had spoken of the indifference of the =Mae On he !,dvan tages enjoyed by protestants.

They had embarked in a course the difficulties of which were but little understood. They had placed themselves in a situation in which they would be required to mediate between races which were hostile to each other, to govern, in fact, a large popula tion without any adequate means of governing it, an d though he wished to hope for the best, lie was still of opinion that it would have been best not to interfere. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGIi believed that no thing would conduce more to bring about future compli cations in the affairs of Europe than for this country to assume the position which it had denied to Russia of protection of the Chri s ti an s ubj e cts of the Porte. ever much he might desire that the friendly representa tions of our minister to the Porte might be continued, and be attended with still greater success, he earnestly hoped that they would not acq u i re th e r i g ht or incur the :ruqgstion of requiring the observance of laws after they aaa been enacted, especially as the predominance of the Mr. F. FRENCH said he had given notice of his intention to put a question to the right hon. baronet the First Lord of the Admiralty, relative to the extraor dinary powers which it was said the right hon. baronet had given to Sir Charles Napier, the Commander of the Baltic fleet ; but as the right hon. baronet could not be present till Monday, he had no alternative but to post pone his question until that day. Sir T. HERBERT also postponed his question, as follows :—To ask th e Fi rs t L or d of the Admiralty, whether certain words attributed to him in a speech de livered at a dinner given in the Reform Club to Admiral Sir Charles Napier, have been correctly reported, which appears in the Times of the Bth day of March, viz. " We, as reformers, may be proud that the honour of the British flag in the Euxine and the Baltic, is entrusted to two such champions as Admiral Dundas and Sir Charles Napier." INDISPOSITION OF LORD JOHN RUSSELL. Mr. G. MOORE understanding that the noble lord the Member for the city of London was too much indis posed to be in his place to-night, he begged to postpone a question of which he had given him notice, relative to the reported appointment of Mr. Storer to be a puisne judge of Melbourne. He should put the question on Monday, and it would be, whether the noble lord was aware at the time of the appointment that Mr. Storer. had been declared guilty of bribery. RUSSIAN PRODUCE IN NEUTRAL SHIPS. In reply to a question by Viscount JOCELYN, Mr. WILSON said the question, as he understood it, amounted to this—Whether Russian produce from a neutral port, belonging to a British or neutral subject in British or neutral ships, shall be respected in the event of a war. There could be no difficulty in answer ing the question, and he had no hesitation in saying such produce would be respected. (Hear, hear.) The Bribery, &c., Bill, and the Controverted Elec tions, &c., Bill, were postponed, as were also the Church Building Acts Amendment Bill and the Valuation (Ire land) Bill. MINISTERS' MONEY IN IRELAND. Sir J. YOUNG moved for leave to bring in a bill to provide a measure for amending the existing law as re garded Ministers' Money in Ireland. Mr. FAG AN moved an amendment for the total abolition of the impost. . _ _ After a discussion of some length, the house divided, when there apeeared— For the original motion 136 For the amendment Mr. HADFIELD said he felt it his duty to give notice that in every stage of this bill he would do his best to have it thrown out, regarding the impost of Ministers Money as a badge of inferiority on the great majority of the people of Ireland. The original resolution was then agreed to, and the house having resumed, leave was given to bring in the bill. BUSINESS FOR MONDAY. On the motion that the house at its rising do adjourn until Monday next, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated the income tax resolution would be taken the first thing on Monday in Committee of Ways and Means, and afterwards the Committee on the Stamp Act. The motion for adjournment was then agreed to. VENTILATION OF THE HOUSE. Mr. SPOONER moved the appointment of a select , committee to consider of the best means of improvin.4. THE STJN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 11, 1854. THE BELGIAN GIRL'S CASE. Adolphnillarrison, alias Feistel, and Alexander Dmux, the father of Madame Denis, were brought up for re-exa mination at the Westminister Police-court, yesterday, charged with conspiring to procure the defilement of Alice Leroy. As on the former occasions, the court was densely crowded, a number of gentlemen absolutely seating them selves in the felons' dock, in their anxiety to see and hear. Mr. Parry, instructed by Mr. Sheen, from the Institu tion for the Protection of Women, appeared, as before, to prosecute; and Mr. Morgan, of the firm of Humphreys, Morgan, and Humphreys, defended. Mr. Parry, addressing Mr. Arnold, the presiding magi strate, said he would simply state what course he intended to pursue. If it met his sanction, he proposed to call three more witnesses to complete the case of Alice Leroy, and then solicit a further remand. The name of a French girl who had been brought over to this country to be de bauched, but who had, fortunately, escaped pollution, had been mentioned on the last occasion as a new case, but no information had as yet reached the society prosecuting from her, although it was daily expected. He should be disposed to ask for a remand on the ground of the new case he had alluded to, while it must also be taken into consi deration that the absconding of M. and Madame Denis had the effect of creating some embarrassment in the prosecu tion. He regretted to add that the girl Newman, formerly a servant at the house of M. Denis, and who gave evidence on the last examination, had disappeared ; and it was not for him to say of those charged with the very grave offence he was now prosecuting, that they were parties who knew something of her dis-, appearance, but it was a reasonai)le surmise that, parties deeply interested in the result of this inquiry, and who might be seriously affected by it, could account for it. If the absent witness is not forthcoming at the time the de positions were completed, it would be his duty to apply to the magistrate for compulsory process against her, in order that she might be bound over in the usual way to prosecute. The first witness called Was Mary Murphy, who said—l entered the service of Madame Denis eight days before Alice Leroy escaped. On the first evening I was there I saw her upstairs. She was sitting on a sofa in the second floor front room. She was crying. In consequence of see ing her crying, I spoke to Elvire Cerckel, who was in the house. There was neither light nor fire in the room where Alice was sitting crying. I saw her several times after this, and whenever I saw her as she seemed if she was in trouble. I remember the night before she escaped. I had agreed with Elvire to assist her in effecting her escape, and on that night I did not undress myself at all. I know the two defendants. The elder one is the father of Madame Denis. They were there all the time I was there. I had arranged the escape of Alice, and can tell you how it hap pened. Elvire told me to go and do the front steps of the door, so that the door being open, Alice could get away. That was, I think, at a little before seven in the morning. I did it, and she escaped. I went with her as far as the the corner ; so did Elvire, and when she came back, and Alice had got away, Elvire went to madame's bed-room door, and told her she had escaped, and I cried out as loud as I could, " Alice is gone." (Much laughter.) Madame immediately got up, and seemed to be very cross. Elvire took the old man , madame's father, the wrong way to look for her. I saw the defendant Harrison that morning. He came about eight or nine o'clock. When he came he went in the parlour where M. and Madame Denis and the other two young ladies were. I gave madame notice to leave on that day, and Harrison came to me and asked me the reason I wanted to go, when I told him that I could not make myself comfortable in the house. Harrison said something about my staying, and offered me more money to do so. After Alice was gone the kitchen and area doors were locked, and the old man (madame's father) unlocked the kitchen door and let me out. The kitchen door and the gate were locked upon Elvire and her mother. On the next morning madame told me she was going for a few days into the country, and she left between S and 9on the following morning. Harrison came the day following and told me to take care of the sil ver plate in the house. I know a Mr. Bowes ' of Greek street, Soho. I was sent to him by madame's father, and he used to come to the hous e. Cross-examined by Mr. Morgan—l am still in the house. There was plenty of provision left in the house. I have had about 2s. from a gentleman who came with Mr. Simonds (Mr. Sheen), to get any little thing I wanted. I am the only person in the house, except a dog and a parrot. No body but Mr. Simonds, the inspector, comes to set me in the course of the day. Mr. Shaen does not come every day. I never saw him there but once or twice. I went over the house with Mr. Simonds and Mr. Sheen when they went to look for some papers. I recollect a few pic tures were taken away that were found on the top of the drawers. I did not gratify ray curiosity by looking at them. Witness having concluded her testimony at this point, sat down and burst into tears, when Mr. Parry, observing , it, said, in allusion to the last question respecting the pic tures before alluded to, "that although the poor girl was in humble circumstances, she had no right to be insulted by such a question." Mr. Arnold remarked that it was both unnecessary and improper. Richard Watkinson, 208, B division—On Thursday, the 16th ult., Elvire Cerckel made a communication to me, in consequence of which I gave her permission to bring Alice Leroy to my house, and on the following morning at about half-past seven she came in company with Antonio (a ser vant who had recently left madame 8). She was greatly agitated, and tremlled and shook very much. She continued in that state all day, and if a knock came to the door she crept behind a sofa where you would scarcely think a child could get. She apeeared to be in a genuine state of alarm and distress. I saw Harrison on the seine day; he had called at my house to see me, and came again at half-past six in the evening, when I was at home. He asked me if I knew the address of Antonio, when I replied, "no nearer than somewhere in the Vauxhall-bridge-road." He said he wanted him, for hehad taken away that morning the lady's maid from Madams Denis's, and he believed she had taken some money away, and was most likely with him where he was lodging, and if I oould give him any information where that was he did not mind a few pounds. In speaking of the girl as the lady's-maid who had left, he did not on that oce,asion say where he had brought her from. I did not tell him the girl was with me. I did not see him again until I took him into custody. Mr. Simonds was with me at that time, and, calling him_on one side, I told him that he must con.ider himself in custody for conspiring with others in bringing a youn g girl from Belgium to 3, Den bigh-terrace. Ho admitted bringing her from Belgium, but had engaged her there as lady's-maid, and she had been three years in the service, and it was a false charge against him. He added, that ho had just consulted his lawyer upon the subject. On the following morning I took him out of the cell to give him some fresh air, when he repeated that the charge was false, but very serious; and said I must know him from having lived in the neighbourhood some time, and that if I would say a word in his favour I might believe him to be my friend. He said he hoped that it would not get into the newspapers, as, if it did he should be a ruined man, as he was just on the point of marriage. Mr. Parry thought it a lucky escape for some one. Witness continued—ln consequence of a message I re ceived, I went, on the evening of the 16th ult., to 3, Den bigh-terrace. Madame Denis, after looking through the window, admitted me, and I went into a small room with M. and Madame Denis. He asked me if I knew where Antonio lived, and I told him I did not. He said some thing had happened, and he wanted to know where to find him, and he wished me to catch him if I could. I asked him for what, when he replied, " Never mind ; I will tell you that some other time: I said I could not do business in that way ; he must let me know the charge before I took Antonio. Antonio came to me at about half-past ten that evening, and I went with him to Madame Denis, who opened the door, as before. She called out, when she saw him, " Antonio is at the door." Antonio and M. and. Madame Denis, then talked to g ether, but I did not under stand what they said. I asked M. Denis if he had any charge to prefer against Antonio, and he said " No." I was not then aware of the full nature of what had taken place, or I should have taken the parties concerned into custody. I took the prisoner Desaux on the 3d instant in the evening, when he attempted to close the door and get away from us, but we took him. William Simonds, an inspector of the B division, was sworn, when Mr. Parry requested to be permitted to put two or three more questions to the last witness, who was accordingly re-called, and in answer, said that when Alice Leroy came to his house she had only a morning dress and slippers, no bonnet or shawl. Mr. Morgan—Has not she got on the same gown now ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Morgan—ls it not a proper dress ? Witness—l am not a dressmaker. Ido not understand about dresses. (Laughter). Mr. Simonds said—l first received information on the 18th ult. at the station about this charge. Between four and five o'clock in the afternoon of Tuesday, the 21st, I saw Harrison get out of a cab at Madame Denis's ' and go in there for about 20 minutes. I then followed him after he came out, and took him into custody. I told him I wanted him for conspiring with others. (Here the inspec tor repeated the charge.) He said the charge was false and unfounded, and got up for the purpose of obtaining money. He said she came over as lady's-masd, and had been in the service three years. He afterwards said that he meant Elvire. He said he had just received a letter from a gentleman that he was to meet that evening about some wine, and if he could not go it would be his ruin. On the 3d inst. I apprehended Desaux, and a very fine large dog came towards me. (The lad Antonio to whom the dog was very partial, was with the police, and pre vented his attacking them.) I aftewards searched the house, and found some prints. Mr. Parry said that from the filthy character of the pic tures he did not mean to produce them. Mr. Parry intimated that this closed the case of Alice Leroy, and he now asked for a week's remand, when he would pledge himself that if he had not got suffi:ient evi dence of the other case he had spoken of, not to press for a further remand, until fresh circumstances which he was not yet acquainted with arose, but rely . upon the one case, the depositions of which to go before a Jury would then be completed. the M r r e . m Arnold h e requested db that s t b e e r t wweoeunl would h d e e p t e r r e m s e i n n t e time and at form lie would shape his case, so that the admissibility of bail might be determined, Mr. Morgan no sloubt intending to press his former application. m: cA M nih i ri r tr. . M egpdh o att o r r f .r ca b n a il said a s t a ha ri t g h h e t. meant to ask that his client be wanted to demonstrate that there was no a Du libleelrar.tiMono.rgaHneawdadurestesdedtothkenocwouwrthoan behalf t kind of o o fci' conspiracy e y he had been guilty of, unless it was walking about the house chatting with the girls and smoking ? Mr. Arnold—The evidence against him goes to prove that he was the gaoler of the establishment. Mr. Morgan—There is some evidence to prove that he did not wish the girl to be seen at the window ; there was no great impropriety in that. Mr. Arnold would not go into the " propriety of the the establishment," but remanded the prisoners for a week. - - THE LONDON GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT. FOREIGN ENLISTMENT ACT.

TBE PRESTON STRIKE. PRESTON, March 10.—The importation of strangers still continues, and not unfrequently the novel spectacle is seen of the police force and fire-brigade being em ployed to escort four or five people from the railway sta tion to the depot, a distance of some 200 or 300 yards. Among the recent arrivals are a number of straw-bonnet makers from Bedfordshire. When the new hands have been allotted to those who intend to employ them, they are removed from the depot to the mills in omnibuses, guarded by policemen. Considerable apprehension has been created among the ratepayers by the introduction of strangers unaccustomed to factory labour, and they have given expression to their views in the following petition, which has been adopted at a public meeting, and now lies for signature in the town TO THE HON. THE COMMONS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED. " The petition of the undersigned inhabitant householders and ratepayers of the borough and township of Preston, in the county. of Lancaster,— " Humbly sheweth,—That your petitioners have noticed 'the introduction into your hon, house of a bill to abolish, in England and Wales, the compulsory removal of the poor, on the ground of settlement, and to make provision for the more equitable distribution of the charging of relief in unions. "That, under ordinary circumstances, your petitioners would have hailed the introduction of such a measure with great satisfaction ; but, under the present peculiar situa tion of the town, your petitioners believe that, unless the borough and township of Preston be specially exempted from the provisions of the said bill, it will bring ruin upon a large portion of the respectable ratepayers. "That the present extraordinary condition of the town arises from the importation of a large number of unskilled pauper labourers, b r ought int o th e wn and located at the instance of a combination styling itself the Associated Masters of Preston. " That the respectable members of the before-named combination, acting under the style or denomination of the Associated Masters of Preston,' binds each of its em of b er its s by a bond to obey all orders passed members, failing in which the respectable a m ajorityemeersrender themselves liable to a penalty of 5,0001. each. "That the unskilled paupers now being introduced into the town of Preston by the before-named comb ination will, under the proposed measure for the abolition of compulsory removals, ultimately become irremoveble paupers charge ableb increa se and t here y . the poor upon the poor's funds, rates of the township of Prestonotolaargmeobstodaylaromf i t n h g ose ex r te a n te t,. and bring to want and beggary now independent. pa r‘ e 4 s h:t h y o m a r r e petitioners therefore pray your hon. H ouse to insert a clause in the said measure specially exempt ing from its operations the township of Preston, and thus avert the impending ruin which, withou t such exemption, will fall u p o n the town by the flood of pauper labou rers now being • impo r ted into it from the distant cou n ti es of England, in addition to a large number of paupers from Ireland. "And your petitionsp will Ora pray.! SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. CUSTOM HOUSE, MARCH 10.

Sir,—A case bas lately come under my notice which I think should be publicly known.
