LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1854. THE CRIMEA. Our dates froM the Crimea now extend to the 1 , 16th of September, as will be seen by a telegraphic despatch received by our War Minister, the Duke of Newcastle, and published by his authority in another column. ' It now appears that on the 14th the troops were only 30 miles, instead of 40 or 50, from Sebastopol—having been landed a consider able distance on the right of Eupatoria. It is quite probable, therefore, that by this time —Se p t. 25, eleven days after the landing of our infantry— Sebastopol, with a slice of the Crimea, are in the possession of the Allies. This likelihood tempts the mind to project itself by conjecture into the future. What effect is the news that the Crimea has been wrested from the Czar likely to produce in the interior of the Russian Empire ? Among the Russians proper, the superstitious reverence for the Emperor in which they are trained from child hood, and their bigotted attachment to their na tional church, joined with their utter incapacity to estimate the comparative strengths of Russia and the powers that are in arms against her, may awaken an enthusiastic and obstinate spirit of defiance to the foreign invaders. But the purely Russian population of. the Empire is only met with a great way to the north of Perekop, where the Crimean Peninsula joins the mainland. South of Kiew the indigenous population is made up of Cossacks of various. ,denominations --of the Ukraine, Don, and Ural, and Tartars, and Jews. The colonies that have been settled among those populations—on the seaboard, the Dnieper, the Don, and the Volga—are composed in the least part of Russians ; 'they are Germans, Greeks, Armenians, Italians—fugitives or ad venturers from all nations, not naturally imbued with much enthusiasm for Russian customs, and alienated by Russian modes of government. If we extend our view further to the north on the west of Kiew we find ourselves in the Polish provinces which have so often revolted, and are only kept from again revolting by something very closely resembling a permanent system of martial law. If we turn to the provinces on the Volga, we find numerous tribes of Tartars still adhering to the Mahomedan faith, and cherishing their traditions of consanguinity with tribes of the Crimea and the regions which extend from the Caspian to the Chi nese frontier. The spirit of independence among these non-Russian populationsmay have been broken by long years of Russia's iron yoke—theirdisaffection may have waned to a tame grumbling, linked with an incapacity of bold action ; but they have all, especially the Cossacks of the Don, been kept in a state of chronic irritation and embitterment by forcible levies, year after year, to recruit the armies of the frontier, and by corvees (rabota) to make roads and maintain the postal communications of the empire. Since the war began, their customary discontent has been aggravated by increased taxes and more unreasonable compulsory levies of recruits. The news of the fall of Sebastopol would be re ceived throughout the whole of these populations with at least a passive pleasure. And if that event were followed up by incursions of the Turks into Bessarabia (which defective police arrangements have allowed to become a kind of asylum for the serfs who have escaped from other pro vinces)—by incursions of Circassians and other hostile Cauca sian tribes of the Don and the Volga—and by the occupation of Akerman, Odessa, Nikolaiev, and Taganrog by English and French troops, the allegiance of the provinces we have been passing in review to the House of Romanoff would soon be in a very tottering condition. The capture of Sebas topol will open to the allied powers a field of action, by boldly precipitating themselves into which they can easily, effectually, and permanently clip the wings of Russia. But if they relax in their efforts, and stand idly still, indulgingin vain self-glorification, the capture of Sebastopol will remain barren of results—a mere demonstration that French and English soldiers combined can thrash the Russians, a problem which -might safely have been assumed to be self-evident. Intimately associated with these anticipations of what may or may not be about to happen, is the I question, what is Austria doing ? This question presses all the more urgently upon the mind that there is a manifest disposition on the part of the newspapers devoted to the Ministry to keep back from the public all information regarding the doings of the Austrians in the Wallachian provinces. Yet the Austrian and other German journals devoted to Austria are daily announcing, in terms less and less equivocal, intentions on the part of Austria tamely to acquiesce in which would be treason on the part of the Western Governments to their ally, Turkey, and to the two great nations in whose name they act. The last circular addressed by the Prussian Government to its envoys at the different German courts complains that Austria, in sendin g its armies int o the Danubian Principalities, has not been actuated by a pure regard to " Gerinau4nte rests." In reply to this imputation all the jour nalists in the pay of Austria have drawn their pens to prove that Austria in occupying the principalities has acted exclusively for the benefit of Germany. A writer in the Allgerneine Zeitung says : "The duty of Germany appears to be first of all by unequivocal demonstrations to compel a peace (Friedea, zu erzwingen). We say to compel, for it is certain that the western powers know very well that the business cannot be settled without the sword of Austria, and that Austria will not move a step without the decided sup port of Prussia, and the assured support of Germany. If things remain as they are, Sebastopol and the Crimea will be captured this year by the Crusaders in behalf of the Crescent (Halbmondfah,rer) ; but next year the Rus sians, with redoubled might, will beat the French, Eng lish, and Turks, out of their land, and everything will have to he begun anew." We pass over in silent contempt the braggadocio which represents the Western Powers as dependent on the good-will of Austria, and the spiteful nick name bestowed upon them of " Crusaders in behalf of the Crescent," to come at once to the exposition of Austria's views on the principalities : " Whatever opinion may be entertained of the demand that the Russian protectorate of the Principalities shall cease, it is certain that nothing short of their entire iii dependence of all Turkish interference in their internal relations, and a guarantee of their rights and liberties, and even of their neutrality, like what has been given to the Swiss, by all the great Powers of Europe, can set them in the way to develope their resources. Even this would insure but slender gain to Germany. Germanic interests could only be maintained by placing those lands under the exclusive protection of Austria and the Ger manic Confederation. Austria has allowed earlier op portunities of bringing about this state of affairs to to escape it, and the Western Powers are not likely to acquiesce in it now. The time for Germany to take this point into consideration will be when the Western Powers explain in detail their views with regard to the future protectorate." This is tolerably plain speakin g . A writer in the Vienna Lloyd throws som e light upon the steps that are being taken by Austria to realise its wishes:— " Austria, by occupying the principalities, has a pledge in its bands that the Protectorate of Russia is at an end. * * * The confidence of the Western Powers in Austria is boundless, and the Principalities will be entirely handed over to the Austrians. Stirbey has to thank the influence of Austria that he has regained his throne as Hospodar. M. Laurin, the Austrian con sul, has in this matter played a master-stroke of policy, and prevailed upon Derwish Paella, whosleft Constanti• nople with entirely different instructions, and Omer Paella, who had quite a different plan for the recon struction of the Hospodarate, to comply with tine wishes of Austria. This Prince is under suspicion for his tam pering with Russia, and the permanence of his power will depend entirely upon the manner in which he con ducts himself." In other words, Stirbey owes his re-appointment to Austria, and will retain it only so long as lie does whatever Austria wishes. In combination with the indications of Austrian policy which we have just been quoting, our readers will do well to recall to memory the termination of the gene ral council described in the last letter of our Bucha rest correspondent, when Omer Paella declared that THE CLIPPER SHIP LIGHTNING.—LIVERPOOL, SA- rather than submit to the . re-appointment of the TURDAY..—There appea rs ev er y prospect of this ship ' corrupt and traitorous Stirbey he would resign making the passage to Australia il7O days. notwith- his command.

Austria must hold its new acquisitions by its own military strength. But to move soldiers into the Danubian Principalities, it has been obliged to withdraw them from other pro vinces. The troops recently marched into Gallicia have further weakened the permanent garrisons by which those other provinces are kept in sub jection. The object of marching troops into Gal licia is at best problematical. It has been somewhat hastily assumed that they are sent to guard against a Russian invasion ; may they not have been sent to forestal a Polish insurrection ? This is one of the nightmare visions which at present haunt the Austrian Government. " What if Austria agrees to attack Russia ?" asks the writer in the Allgemeine Zeitung. "Is it prepared for the re.establishment of Poland, the surrender of Galli cia to a new Polish Kingdom, the surrender of Posen by Prussia, and the re-aequilition of Finland by Sweden ? Would Austria be compensated for these changes by obtaining the Danubian Princi palities_?" The truth is that Austria, scarcely able at present to maintain its authority in the non-Ger man provinces would, by seizing the Principalities, add to its difficulties without increasing its strength. It would provoke at once hostile aggression from without, atttl insurreticiii within. By becoming the accomplices of Austria, France and England would not only tarnish their honour—but burden themselves with a threatened and helpless ally.— Daily News. MR. MACGREGOR, M.P., AT GLASGOW. 'Mr. Macgregor, M.P. for Glasgow, met a large num ber of his constituents on Thursday evening fn the Mer chants' Hall in that city, for the purpose of laying before them an account of his stewardship during the last ses sion of Parliament. The hon. gentleman was accom panied to the platform by Bailies M'Dowall and Mac gregor, Deacon Convener Craig, Councillor M'Adam, Mr. Jas. Henderson, Dr. M`Gregor, Mr. G. M'lntosh, Mr. T. M'Gregor, Mr. W. R. M'Phun, Mr. A.. Paton, and a number of other gentlemen. On the motion of Bailie M`Gregot, Bailie D'Dowall was called to the chair. Bailie M'Dowen, on taking the chair, said he did not expect, two minutes ago, when he entered the hall below, that this honour was to be conferred on him of presiding at a meeting where one of the members of the city :was to address his constituents. Mr. Macgregor, - with ad mirable spirit, came before them annually as one of their representatives, to detail what had been done in the House of Commons, and he felt convinced they Would listen ;with great pleasure to his statements. • They were all well aware how diligent he had been in the discharge of his duties, and no one, he (Bailie M‘Dowall) could say, 1 had visited. London, on the municipal business of Glasgow, but had been kindly received at all times by him, I and every assistance in his power rendered them. There was a great assemblage of talent in the House of Commons, it was well known, but he felt convinced that therewas no one better qualified for a seat there than their :repre sentative, Mr. Macgregor. (Cheers.) He again thanked them for the honour of being appointed Chairman, and, had no doubt they would be •highly gratified by; the statement which would be laid before them. (Appleitse.) THE PRUSSIAN CIRCULAR DESPATCH. - ------- , Mr. MACGREGOR was received with loud cheering, He said—My friends and fellow citizens, your worthy chairman has intimated in fitting terms the nature of my present appearance among you. Since he had ; met them, he said, a year ago, at the prorogation of Parlia ment, mighty and great and most important events had taken place connected with the progress and civilisation of the world. As to the proceedings of the late session of Parliament there was only a meagre account to give. They were mostly taken up with the great question of war and peace, and the best means of curbing 'that ambitious tyranny which was endeavouring to .sub vert the liberties of the world. Little else could be thought of. Yet there was a considerable advance made in the right direction. (Cheers.) He was happy to say that five or six good bills had been passed in re ference to Scotland ; but he regretted the loss of one intends il greatly to liberalise the system of education pursued in Scotland, and to make it as non-sectarian as circumstances would admit of. We, in the House of Commons, passed it, but it was unfortunately lost in another place. This he was grieved at. He had many letters.from his constituents and different parts of Scot land, urging him to support this bill, and he never sup ported John R a u n s y s e o l i n , s e R w e i f t o h r m g r Billea great e r w pleasure. i ri (C o h e e e r r i s g . h ) t direc tion, roercd. tion, though not exactly such a measure as he would have framed ; but, if passed, it would have led to some thing a great deal better. (Cheers.) Lord John Russell, he believed, proposed and even withdrew the Reform Bill in perfect good faith, and we must now wait for a more favourable opportunity. He had not much to say of other measures. He would now address himself to the great question of the day—to that series of events now progressing, pregnant with mighty results to the fate of mankind. No year as been so remarkable as 1854. A power whose characteristics were the sup port of tyranny, the robbery of its neighbours, the slavery of its own subjects, was attempting to over throw liberty and crush progress and civilisation. In the year 1689—the year after the revolution in Eng land, when the liberties of the nation had been secure d —the encroachments of the Czar of Russia began. At that period he had a population of 15,000,000. At the death of Alexander, in" 1825, the population had, by unprincipled conquests, been increased to 58,000,000 ; and at the present moment, by the same means, it had 68,000,000 of the family of mankind, who were held in the most deplorable slavery and the lowest degradation. For himself, he could sincerely say that he was opposed to all wars, except when they had to fight for their liberties. England bad carried on many great wars, all of which he condemned. Since the time of William the Third, when the French war commenced, we begun a system of accumulating a national debt. From the peace of Rhys wick to that of Utrecht, we bad added 68,000,0001. to the debt. We followed until. 1816 the system then of drawing upon posterity, but now we are acting on a dif ferent principle—we are paying the cost of war as we proceed, making each year meet its own expense. We have no right to saddle posterity with our debts. We must no longer tax, people without consulting them. (A. laugh.) He reprobated all these wars, as they were unjust. That which ended in 1713 was undertaken to destroy Louis XIV. Be placed his grandson on the throne, however, in spite of us, and the war was ended by the peace of Utrecht. We fought against the power of Napoleon, and did, indeed, re-establish the Bourbons; but what` is the consequence? All is overturned, for another Napoleon sits on the throne of France. (Cheers.) And it is fortunate for Europe that he rules over that empire. The alliance between England and France was a blessed reality for the liberties and civilisation of Eu rope. It was my gOod fortune (said Mr. Macgregor) to be on terms of intimacy with Louis Napoleon when he was an exile in this country. My house in London was one of the few houses he visited. He (Mr. Macgregor) did not boast of this ; but he valued the sentiments Louis Napoleon entertained with regard to a perpetual alliance with this country—an alliance which would constitute the greatest epoch in the history of civilisa non. He knew it was the desire of the Emperor to bind the people of the two countriea together by material interests, and to do away with those commerci al and mercantile restrictions which had so lon , existed, and of which the Bourbons, and especially Louis Philippe, were the greatest supporters. The Emperor of the French knew it was the best policy he could pursue. It would unite the people of France and England in close intimacy with each other, for the advancement of social progress, and the cultivation of all the virtues which adorn humanity. He knew also that by so doing he would bind them together by the strongest of all ties —that of material interests. The French required many of our products, we required many of theirs ; and we taxed their wines and many other articles too high. War was a sad alternative, which only ought to be had re course to in defence of our liberties ; but, without a single claim to justice, the tyrant, as he might call him, of Russia, had taken possession of oountries that were sacredly allied to France and England by treaties. The whole of this aggression and the pretensions and demands of the Czar had been submitted first to England and France, and also to Austria and Prussia. But there were only England and France who had earnestly taken up this question. He admitted that England might not have gone to war. The power that was in the most dangerous position was Austria, consisting of antago nistic nations, speaking different languages, and all hat ing eaoh other. This was the country that had most to fear from its late suicidal policy, by inviting Russia to come in to crush Hungarian liberties. That was the country that ought to have dreaded the aggression ; but Austria kept back. We saw clearly that if the Emperor of Russia had taken possession of the Danubian provinces as Catherine 11. had done of the Crimea, he would soon take possession of Constantinople ; that the Greeks—a race he did not much respect—that really had inherited the vices and few of the virtues of their ancestors—he meant the vices of mendacity and unfaithfulness—would immediately join Russia. We saw that Asia Minor would be occupied, that the commerce of the Danube would be closed, and that in fact the civilisation of the world would be retarded at least a century, if a stop were not put to this terrible and aggressive despotism. We resolved to protect Turkey— that we should establish a balance:of power, which would arrest that dangerous aggression which had encroached over a great portion of Europe. Since the accession of Peter the Great, the Russian territory had increased five times. He could state, upon undoubted authority, that it was the deter mination of the Governments of England and of France —[A. Voice, " Tell us of Scotland 1 —that peace should not he concluded till guarantees were given to both Go vernments that Russia should never attempt to invade the territory of her neighbours, and that each nation should be governed according to the opinion of its own people. He supported the present Government because he believed it to he the best that could be formed at the time. Their policy was that of protecting ; and not of interference with the internal affairs of other • nations. Turning to another subject—that of the policy of the British Government in reference to foreign states—he would mention that a citizen of Glasgow had written to him lately to know if the statement was true that Go vernment promised to aid Austria to put down the Hungarians or Italians, supposing they should attempt at the present time to assert their liberty. Now, he em phatically declared that the British Government had no such intention. He (Mr. Macgregor) had spoken lately to a member of the Government on the subject, and said to him, "If you had given such an assurance I would be the first man to move that you be impeached in the House of Commons." (Cheers.) He replied, '` We would deserve impeachment if we attempted anything of the kind." In fact, ho knew, and could ,' although not connected with Government, give any assu rance that the policy of the Government was only to interfere to preserve the balance of power, and defend the weak against the strong. Even in 1830 the Duke of Wellington said that the policy of the Government, Has to preserve the balance of power, and prevent the ng gression of one state on that of another, the very thing we are doing at present. In 1848 I even met at Lord Palmerston's the two Ministers who came from Sicily. We immediately said, if you establish an independen', Government yourselves—you, the people—we will nc knowledge that Government; will receive your Ministers' will do that which we have done with regard to France d ohereafter,ne in lBwsi2t h with regard re g t a o r alld to (rti what ayleoaiunr we in relation to the revolution of 1830 ; yes, we will do policy wish t t ou dispel tthe e acknowledgede lu s i on i u the sion Government that tilthe Government o v t e h u e re a nrg t i li mi t ' i t' at t t e v i nt i i It w ec e ,:e may interfere establish ptleerfeor fe tin,l a putting üB o trrt British ni: themselves hdoewninpti ri : e that would our and I peopleolwifkoteuhl i would rise in terfere c o l rawo f i ssuigent every oiitawrtty,the eawncncloo liberties n la.edt t rnh r tde y ieev ses pary liberties of any people.

The New Prussian Gazette, in giving this document, says that since it was written the Prus sian Cabinet has drawn more closely towards Aus tria ; but at the same time, this journal denies the statement in the Vienna journals, that some of the German Governments, particularly Saxony and Bavaria, have expressed an intention to support the demand made upon Russia for guarantees. The New Prussian Gazette, which, as our readers know, has the reputation of being an organ of the Russian party, asserts that very different accounts of the in tentions of the German Powers have been received at Berlin. The circular, which is dated the 3d instant, is as follows "Shortly before the adjournment for some weeks of the sittings of the Diet, the Eastern affair was brought forward in the respective committees ; but no resolution was taken, the envoys not being provided with sufficient instructions. As, consequently, it is to be expected that, after the re-opening of the sittings of the Diet. the united committees will again occupy themselves with this im portant affair, H.M. the King, our august master, has thought it his duty in consequence of the intimate rela tions which exist between him and his German confede rates to communicate to the Governments of the latter, with entire sincerity, the views which will be for him the pivot of his conduct in this affair. The reply of the Cabinet of St. Petersburg to the Austrian despatch of the 10th, supported and recommended by that of our Cabinet of the 13th, has reached the Government since the above-mentioned last sitting of the committee of the Diet. It is contained in a despatch of Count de Nesselrode of the 14th (26th) ult., addressed to Prince Gortschakoff, and which has been communicated to us, acc,enpanied by a short despatch. in reply to the communications we addressed to the Cabinet of St. Pe tersburg. A copy of the said despatch of Prince God schakoff is annexed hereto, and I invite your excellency to communicate it confidentially to the Government to which you have the lionourao be accredited. We regret that the Emperor Nicholas has not thought fit to accept a base of negotiations for peace, which responded to the wishes of our a ugus t mas ter. However, in examining the situation resulting from this refusal, and, above all, in taking into consideration the declaration made at the end of the Russian despatch, and according to which the Russian troops, when returned to the territory of the empire, will observe an attitude of a pureiy defensive character, we cannot disregard the great importance which ought to be attributed to it, both in a military and political point of view, as far as German interests are concerned. We conceive that by such a declaratioh, of-sso precise a character, the fear of a Russian attack in general, and above all, against Austria, ought to be altogether set aside ; the im portance of the retreat of the Russians cannot be com promised, because Russia again alleges strategical mo tives to justify that retreat. The Cabinet of St. Peters burg has already made an abstraction in her declaration of June 29, of the theory of pledges, by designating the occupation of the Principalities exclusively as a military position. She evacuates not only these latter at present, but still more, she declares that she will hold herself al together on the defensive within the Russian territory. If, notwithstanding, that it was intended to regard the danger of a possible re-occupation of the Principalities as a question which would compromise German interests in a durable manner, and deduce from it military obli gations, that mode of viewing the subject would lead to this pradoxal result, that whilst all Europe, including the Western Powers, did not at the time look on the occupation of the Principalities by the Russian troops as a cases belli, in a similar case would be found at pre sent in the fact that they have been there. Looking at these considerations, his Majesty the King is convinced that the additional article Df the treaty of alliance which has reference to precise and real suppositions, should be regarded as accomplished, and that the reply to the question as to whether there exists at this moment a necessity for any other protection for German interests, conformably to Article 2 of the treaty of alliance, sup poses a previous understanding. If that be applied to the four well-known points, the question is to know whother they so respond to German interests as to Make it advantageous for the contracting parties to take them as the exclusive basis for future negotiations. If, as had been supposed, the acceptance of this basis was not only by Russia, but also by the Western Powers (which many symptoms make appear as more than doubtful), and if there had been connected to it negotiations for peace and the suspension of hostilities, such a result would doubtless have been calculated to remove the, un certainty which still prevails on the subjects of the prac tical signification of the four points for German interests. I abstain from discussing tie scruples which may be raised on this subject. I will only call to mind that the difficulties which would attend a common protectorate over the Principalities and the Christian rayahs might readily assume a character which would be less than favourable to German interests. I will add that, al though we wish to see in the entrance of the Austrian troops into the Principalities a guarantee that German interests shall be there energetically protected, never theless the simultaneous entrance of Turkish, and per haps other foreign troops, into those provinces, setting aside the military complications which may result from it, cannot be considered as a state of things favourable to German interests. Now that these bases have been rejected by Russia, and that thus, even if they were considered by the Western Powers as obligatory for them—which is not the case—no immediate negotiations for peace can be connected with them. His Majesty the King, however warmly he might have desired an imme diato negotiation on these bases, cannot find it compatible with his convictions to recommend to his German confe derates the acceptance of the four points, in a manner which might and must lead them into charges and en gagements which do not appear to be called for by the spirit and object of the alliance. His Majesty the King is moreover resolved to persist in the firm and consistent execution of the alliance as a guarantee for the indepen dent development of German power, and he also thinks it his duty cynscientiously to keep aloof from the sphere of engagements which do not belong to the clearly re cognized general interest of Germany. His Majesty hopes that he shall be in accord with his German con federates in this view of the state of things, and he also entertains the fullest confidence that the Emperor of Austria will not only appreciate it heart and soul, but a ill also share in it as a German prince. The well known wisdom, the moderation, and the love of country of his Imperial Majesty are for the King, our august master, a fresh guarantee tbat Austria, secured by the declarations of Russia against any attack on her part, will also abstain on her side from any aggressive mea sure against her will thereby avoid complications the 1 necessity of wLich cannot be deduced from the protection of German interests, and to which consequently Art.ll. of the alliance cannot apply. Our envoy to the Ger manic Diet will be invited to declare himself in the corn mittes and in the Diet itself, in the sense of these con siderations, and to support them. In making this known to the Government to which you have the honour to be accredited, and communicating this des patch, be kind enough to express the great importance which we attach to being informed, as soon as possible, what instructions the other representatives to the Diet have received on the subject.

From this it appears that the total emigration of last year Was 329,937, being 38,827 less than in 1852. There was a diminution of 26,480 to Aus tralia, and 13,376 to the United States, the falling off being accounted for in the case of Australia by the greater excitement regarding the gold discoveries prevalent dur ing the summer and autumn of 1852, and in that of the United States by the departure of a smaller number of Irish, the aggregate emigration of the latter people throughout the year being estimated at 199,392 against 224,997 in 1852. The remittances from their relatives in America were, however, larger than in any previous year, the amount sent through the various banks, apart from private channels, being 1,439.9001. With respect to the Australian emigration, the total from the United Kingdom to all the col mies was 61,401. or about one fourth of that of the United States.

With regard to Au s t r i a , I k now very •well that there is a very large Russian party at Vienna. I believe that party invited, ; the Russians to come into HUngary, and I believe Prince Metternich admitted that it Was the. most suicidal policy' Austria 'could have adopted ; but still Austria will ,probably, for her own safety, adhere to the Western Powers. With respect to Prussia, I regret to say that the• conduct of that go verment is vacillating, and most dangerous to Prussia itself. It resembles the policy that country pursued from the time of ' the treaty of Basle till the fatal events which enabled Napoleon to occupy Berlin and the whole of the. Prussian -dominions. But of the filferstiecess of this - war, the re-establishment of peace in Europe, the advantages to human freedom, and the enlargement of the repreeentation of the people in ma naging their own affairs, whether in AuStria, whether in Germany, whether in Italy, or elsewhere, I have not the smallest doubt. I rest my confidence mainly upon the greatest of all events that have occurred—the alliance between France and England. (Great applause.) This alliance is so powerful ,that the rest of Europe, and all its tyranny, and despotism, and aristocratical preten sions can never withstand it. (Cheers.) And I look on the fruits of that alliance with regard to civilisation, with regard to commercial freedom and intercourse, as the greatest event that has occurred since the breaking down of the Roman empire. (Loud cheers.) Having made these observations with respect to the events passing in Europe, I would now wish to draw your attention to that which more, in a domestic and familiar way, embraces ourselves. But here I must dwell on a great family, speaking the same language, having the same origin, and generally the same worship with our selves, whose ancestors lie buried in the same graves, and with which the progress of civilisation is still more connected than all I have stated to you. I had a remarkable observation made to me by a sagacious observer while travelling with the American minister the other day. We were speaking about the great events of the day, and the accomplished person to whom I allude said that Russia and England (that is, the Anglo-Saxon race) have been the greatest aggressors in the world. The Russians have been aggressors, spreading and extending despotism ; the Anglo-Saxon race have been aggressors, spreading civi lisation and commercial intercourse over the universe. I consider the Americans, who have the same language, the same worship, and who have our songs, our history, traditions, and our romances, in common, I say that these are the people of all others with whom I should like to sympathise ; because, in the first place, they feel much more keenly anything that is said against them by us than by any other people in the world. (Applause.) In the next place, our material interests are so much connected that about one-fourth of our commerce is with the United States. I wish to make these expres sions with regard to that country, with a view to pre vent future quarrels and jealousies, because as Lord J. Russell once wrote to me, having once settled all boun dary questions, England and America may live in peace ever after. (Repeated cheers.) When I was at the Board of Trade, a treaty was suggested by Sir Robert Peel similar to one which has since been concluded—l mean the treaty with regard to fisheries, and the interchange, duty free, between the respective ports of the United States and the British colonies of North America, so that I believe we have entered into a new era of peace with the United States, as well as with France, and that we are now at the commencement of an era with France which will bring us' so close by material interests to gether, that, taking Scotland, England, and Ireland, taking France, taking America, we are now at the head of the civilisation of the world, and may defy all the des potisms and the tyrannies that exist in every other part of the universe. Now, gentlemen, I think I have ventured as far as either your patience ought to bear, or as might have been necessary, with regard to our foreign affairs. I want to say one or two words with respect to the taxation of the last session ; and when I speak of that taxation, we came to the resolution that it was much more wise for us to pay the expenses of the year during the year, and be done with it, than to add to the already too heavy National Debt of this country. I know that the taxation for the present year must be very high, but I believe ours was the wisest course of policy; and in one of the addresses of one of the greatest men I have ever read of, George .Washington, he says—" Never make a war unless you can pay the expense within the year." (Hear, hear.) You have not the power to con sult posterity with regard to the justice of the war, and you ought never to tax people without consulting them. It was on these grounds that we made up our minds in the House of Commons to raise the expenses within the year. I believe that it will come back to your pockets by extending the commerce of the country, and that it will be seen that the Government have done right in acting . as they have done.' (Hear.) I have next to speak of our own internal affairs. With regard to Scotland, we have certain complaints, and many people wish to say a great deal about Scottish grievances. Well, I too have got Scottish grievances to complain of ; but I tell you frankly, I will not join a mere league with regard to Scottish grievances, but whenever I have a grievance put before me I will enter into it with as much ardour as ever a Wallace or any body else did. (Cheers and laughter.) My first Scot tish grievance is this—that we are in Scotland ina dequately represented in the government of the coun try. We want that which I long since said was ab solutely necessary for Scotland, which was provided for by the Act of Union—l mean a Minister of State for Scotland, that will not be a mere representative of the Parliament House of Edinburgh, but a representative of the whole of Scotland, to attend his duties in the °nisi net, and whenever bills are brought forward or a real grievance complained of; and I will never be content to have a mere Lord Advocate—much as I re spect my friend the present Lord Advocate, who is com pelled by prudence and interest to spend two-thirds of his time in pleading cases in the session courts of Edin burgh. (Hear.) But I have been told in London, "Why, you are very comfortable in Glasgow —you have a larger city than Manchester. When Manchester feels a grievance it rises and makes a, great noise ; but you are very easy in Glasgow—you never complain ; and when there is no complaint against grievances, we think they are not worth attending to. We know that the real power of Scotland lies in the industry, commerce, shipping trade, and riches of places like Glasgow, and yet Glasgow does not complain." Now, I say Glasgow ought to complain of real grievances, and not to join in imaginary ones, such as having a hat on the head of a unicorn—an animal that never existed. (Hear.) No, noe complain and represent strongly your real griev ances ; be properly represented in the Government of the country ; when you have bills to bring forward involving the interests of the country, say we want a minister re presenting Scotland. Ireland has her Lord-Lieutenant, Secretary of State, with the same salary as the Prime Minister of England—her Under-Secretary and her At torney-General. Scotland has a Lord Advocate—a very good, a most able and high-minded man, but he is a practising advocate, who has taken his fees at the Par liament-house in Edinburgh, and who cannot attend with the dignity of a minister at the Briti-h Parliament, or as a member in the Cabinet. Another grievanCe is this : since the union of the kingdoms, the expenditure of Scotland has been so small as to be unexampled, be- I cause the expenditure of most countries amounts to the whole incomes of those countries. There is not a country in all Europe where the expenditure has not amounted to the taxation of the country. What has been the taxation of Scotland ? Ido not go on my own authority up to the year 1804—I go upon the authority of Sir John Siuclair, who, in his "History of the Revenue," shows that three-fourths of the revenue collected by Scotland has been remitted to England and paid into the English treasury, that one-fourth, notwithstanding the rebellions of 1715 and 1745, has been sufficient to pay the whole expense of Scotland, military, judicial, and miscel laneous. In another country—l mean Ireland—the ex penditure has always exceeded the revenue from two to twelve millions. I believe that bad government was the cause of it in Ireland, where matters are now far better managed. We get back none of what we pay in Scotland. Our post-office, our custom-house, ever - thing, in fact, connected with th e co ll ect i on of the ).re venue in Glasgow, especially the post-office, is in a most disgraceful condition, and that is one of th e ev il s 1 com plain of, and about w hi c h you ought to e x ert your selves ; and depend upon it that if we labour under anything like evils or grevances, it is ou r own fault ; for when I look at what has been done with regard to Mae chester, a town that did not deserve vernment, at least r ei t so muc h as has been of the cra s got their g rea t s f or t h e i r parks' and . m en done —tley ost everything they wished—they awe d t h e Gov e r a n: d ie :f it through their steady and stern perseveranc e ; thing that is just you utmost bestir vL () r u se . 7 . v a e l ? lutist make publi c manifestation., you must you r mem b ers who represent man i fest atio ns, y - ou in Parliament to have the authority of your power before you call get anything dune by theui. If you act feebly yourselves you render your members also feeble. I should be a much more efficient member representing a rotten borough which was once offered me in Devonshire than representing the people of Glasgow, unless the people appear strung at my back. The only other ques tion, as far as I am aware, that remains to be explained by me is a vote which I gave with regard to the bill re gulating the University of Oxford. I voted then in op-' position to my colleague and to some members repre senting Scotland. I voted on this ground. I bad a representation made to me that a very meritorious grant was made to the University of Glasgow by a most worthy man, a Mr. Snell, who coma vest obligatteria to the University hi mse lf. That wart ler the pup pose of enabling this University to appoint- ceriait 'per sons to go up to the University of Oxford - and ' , acquire honours there, and it is perfectly tru‘dahat: m ac * th a t grant great men did obtain hon ours at Vie , T.lniveraity of Oxford, and none greater than Adam Srialth.,W-G;ad- k stone thought fit t o i n t ro d uce a c l ause into this bi4Pfor the purpose of abolishing the appointments under similar grants in England. The proofs that he adduced to me were strong; and I will only adduce one, the School of Winchester. He found that the appointments . there were actually jobbed by trustees who had never been there ; and said to me that he must interpose a clause against such abuses. I said—lf you.dn not make a re servation in the case of the Snell grant, J must bring my whole force to bear .against you,' Lord John Russell and Mr. Gladstone both generously admitted that the circumstances of the Snell grant; as affecting the Univer sity of Glasgow, were so different ir0n:1,441. the others, that they would admit a provision into the act, so that without the consent it could noticome under the restric tion. I therefore voted with the - Government in regard to the Education-Bill. I believe I never gave a more conscientious vote in my -life/ and I wished' for this op portunity to explain what I have done. (The hon. mem ber then resumed his seat amid loud applause.) Mr. BURNS, writer, rose in the body of the hall, and . said—The hon. member has alluded to alb association of which the Earl of Eglinton is said to 1* the head. As a humble member of that association, I take the liberty He has referred i o n f a t the k i ng ncogutrhsee hoofnh.ismeempebeeerha serioustqouestthieon. under which Scotland labours, and has told us that Scot land never will get redress of this until she makes a strong and united remonstrance against them. I would ask him in what shape should ,Scotland make that re monstrance ? 1 Mr. MACGREGOR said—l rejoice in having questions put to me, because I do not consider myself more than other persons influenced by the infirmities incident to humanity, and for me to say what would be the best and most efficient way to make the remonstrance • would be, perhaps, a presu mpt i on on Thy part. But I stated one of our principal grievances—that is, that we are not properly represented in the ministry of this country—that we cannot be properly reprimPts4l437 an Advocate who prudently takes fees from any Dandle Dinmont, or anybody else, at Edinburgh ; and that Scotland itself should make declarations, and never rest satisfied until it has obtained its unbounded right, a Secretary of State. I say the people of Scotland, and the commercial and county constituents should them selves, every one of them, separately and distinctly, make these representations, and make their members advocate the redress of those grievances in Parliament. (Cheers.) But Ido not wish to go back to those feudal ideas connected with the barbarous history of our coun try. I want to talk of the real grievances which affect our civilisation ; and, above all, to prevent any Govern ment increasing that tendency to centralisation which has been manifested for so long a time. I want that the municipalities of Scotland should retain their own self governments ; and this is a question which affects your civil, religions, and political liberties. Tntse are the ways by which I wish to effect these objects. Let the muni cipal governments of the different cities and towns ex press their opinions, as some towns in England have done. But I do not wish to have any political league, although I will support some things which political leagues may advance. Let Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dun dee, Aberdeen—let the great representatives of the wealth and industry of the country bestir themselves arid exhibit their grievances, and say we not only (1.- mand it of Parliament and the Government, but we will not return any member to the house of Commons who will not advocate the removal of all these grievances which I have mentioned. These are the only practical remedies : let them come through the representations of the people. Mr. BURNS inquired if the hon, member was a mem ber of the Corn Law League ? If so, what objection bad lie to the principle of a league. Was it because the as sociation he referred to was of the character of a league that he objected to join it ? Mr. MACGREGOR—I object to It as a league, and to join it as a league, because it proposes certain things which I consider inconsistent with the times—feudalism being gone for ever. I could not be a member of the Corn Law League in virtue of an office I held at the time ; but that league acknowledged that they owed as much to my free-trade exertions as to any other man in the country. (Loud cheers.) Mr. BURNS inquired again—Did the association to which you have alluded ever make the putting of a hat on the head of a unicorn a point of Scottish grievance ? Mr. MACGREGOR said that really from, his own know ledge he could not say. But a representation of the animal in this condition was a very prominent object in the engravings which had been sent to him on the 'sub ject. (Laughter.) Mr. BURNS—I have noticed that you have used the term "England" throughout your address when speak ing of the Government, as if Scotland did not exist—is that correct ? Mr. MACGREGOR owned that he had often used the word " England" when referring to the British empire, and explained it on the ground of usage or inadver tence. He admitted that it should be called " United Kingdom," as including Scotland, its proper name since the Union. He always upheld the idea that Scotland was entitled to be recognised as great portion of the em ' pire, as the was an important part of it., it•was the liberal majority of Scotland that turned, out the late Derby Government. At the division - the Derby party had 15 of a znaj,rity from all England; of 5 from all England and Ireland ; but froth all England and Ireland with Scotland the scale was turned, and they were in 19 of a minority—(cheers)—so you see t here that the liberal majority of Scotland turned out the Derbyites, and it is to the Scotch members, whatever the present ministers may think of Scotland, that they owe the fact of their being in office. (Loud cheers.) Mr. WINE, accountant, asked if the hon. member could assign any reason why 200,000/. sh ou ld b e p a id to the police in Londo n an d Dublin, and nothing to the police in Scotland, and whether he had voted ,against that appropriation Mr. MAcGREGon did not recollect whether he had been present when that question bad been discussed or not, but had always objected to such a principle of par tiality. His vote, should such a case again occur, would be guided by the circumstances of the case. Mr. WINK asked if he would ♦ote against the 160,0001. given out of the national funds to the chari ties of London and Dublin, seeing that Scotland got nothing ? Mr. MACGREGOR said it would depend on each case, as it came before him, bow be would vote. He bad always protested against all partiality, and would make every effort to get justice done to Scotland. But re garding the English and Irish charities, he must say that be would not embitter the lives of individuals, per haps 70 or 80 years of age, by withdrawing support that had once been allowed them. A gentleman in the body of thosliall asked—How did you vote with regard to Forbes Mackenzie's Bill ? Mr. MACGREGOR-With respect to that bill I did not vote at all, but I spoke against the bill, and I spoke at the same time against the excessive consumption of ardent spirits in Scotland. I hold that ignorance and immorality cannot be alleviated by act of Parliament, but by elevating the tastes of the people and by substi tuting more innocent recreation. He further stated that he would not ♦ote for a repeal of the bill until it got a fair trial. Mr. BROWN, among other matters, demanded an ex. planation why Mr. Macgregor had been present at only 70 out of 270 meetings of the house ? Mr. MACGREGOR said that he had never been absent when any point of importance to the country was being discussed ; but that when the house was occupied with trifling matters, he considered his time better spent in corresponding with his constituents in Glasgow. A CONSTITUENT, or at least a man in the middle of the hall, then asked Mr. Macgregor how he voted re garding Forbes Mackenzie ' s Bill ? (Laughter, great applause, and hissing.) Mr. MACGREGOR—So far as he remembered he did not vote at all. But he spoke against the bill ; and he spoke at the same time and deplored the excessive con• gumption of spirits in Scotland. His views were, that there must be certain regulations ; but, at the same time, no act of Parliament will make a people religious or moral, so long as they remain in ignorance. Igno rance and the want of recreation for their health would snake them seek indulgence of a gross kind. Unless they elevated their tastes and enlightened their minds, legislation for the suppression of drinking would be I • n vain. • Another CONSTITUENT asked if Forbes Mackenzie Bill could be a men d e d or repealed ? (A l aug h. )c Mr. MACGREG OR cou l d not tell. Hewas not the master of the minds, intellects , and inclinations of 654 members of the House of Comm was only one mem b er ; but letGlaosngLow(eAxelratuigtshelf, & .) End. it might get, according to its population, six or eight members. (Cheers.) The same CONSTITUENT —Will you vote for the repeal of the bill ? Mr. MACGREGOR—I will not vote for the repeal of the bill till it gets at least a fair trial. (Tremendous cheering.) Mr. THOMAS BROWN now got upon a bench, and then catechised the member tightly for loving Louis Napo leon so well, after he had destroyed the Roman republic. A nd how they were to believe what Mr. M. had told them regarding non-interference with Hungarians or Italians, when Great Britain and France quietly stood Iby, while Austria compelled Omer Pacha to turn some of his officers to the right-about. Mr. MACGREGOR replied at large ; but the essence of his statement was, that the Roman republic was dished before even Louis Napoleon was made president—that the said Romans were not fit for constitutional liberty, and one proof of it was that they had murdered Roasi, ne a t h e g reatest men of his times:. It was not true that OilierPaclia's officers had been meddled with. As to himself, he had been present at every important divi sion in the House of Commons ; but he did not think it hii duty to attend at every trifling affair, when there were sometimes seven divisions about a contemptible local bill. lie did not lie in wait for these divisions, especially as he had often to Write from 40 to 50 letters every day in ie,piy to those of his constituents in Gists gow--no easy affair to manage. After some further questioning and answering, during which the said Mr. Bro wn did not appear to be either satisfied or convinced, Councillor MACADAM moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Macgregor, to which he considered him fully entitled, though it were f or not hi ng e l se t h an his comin g annually to give an account of his stewardship. The motion was put and carried by acclamation, sad Mr. Macgregor having -suitably acknowledged the oom -14111,ttit, 'a vote: of thanks was given to the ehairmans when the meeting closed.
