ETHEREAL BLUE, a recent discovery having great primitive depth, of a body equal to any of . the earths, and in point of tone it is precisely the hue of the cerulean distances, and perfectly adapted for the grey and silvery tints which are the aim of each distin guished Artist. The Inventor pledges himself that this colour will last as long as any other whatever, and shall be happy to find it put to the severest tests, even on a par With genuine oltremarine—no vitreous, animal or vegetable compositions, which, in conjunction with oil and white, have proved so injurious to grand art as innumerable Pictures attest, are anywise employed in preparing the Ethereal Blue. It is an entirely novel invention, moderate in price, and calculated for every department of choice colouring.

Yesterday morning, as soon as Mr. HA r.r,s had taken 'tis seat on the bench, Mr. Thomas brought the lady be tore him. The barrister was in attendance, as was also he lady's father, a most respectable tradesman, who for merly resided in St. James's -street, and whose shop Was in the habit of being frequented by the late Duke of York, and other distinguished persons, with whom the beauty of the daughter, then a young and blooming 4irl, was the frequent subjeJt of praise. A respectable solicitor, residing in the Temple, accompanied the father, mho, clasping his daughter in his arms, exclaimed in in agony of grief—" Oh ! Maria, could we have ever thought that you, who had been brought up with such iffectionatst care, could have been the inmate of a watch. house." The husband did not appear according to his pro_ rnise, and Mr. Halls having heard front Mr. Thomas a brief statement of the circumstances under which the lady appeared before him, immediately discharged her. The Solicitor then fully corroborated the statement of the lady respecting the base conduct of her husband, against whom, lie said, warrants hail been taken out at another police•of6ce for assaulting and cruelly using her. The lady was then, with her own consent, given up to the protection of her father, and the parties, with the excep tion of the barrister, left the office together. The ap pearance and manner of the lady were prepossessing. In the course of the day Mr. Thomas received a letter from her husband, expressing his determination to be at Bow-street at twelve or one o'clock. Ile, however, did not make his appearance at either hour.—(See the next report.) IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

Its chief merit, however, although rich of hue, consists in its great body, which very far surpasses the sub "mace of the other delicate Blues in use, nay, amounts in MY Opinion to that of any earth how dense soever, one Vod reason why it should be permanent ; and accordingly have found it stand as well as the must costly azure—a 'overeign advantage, as it obviates repetition.

LAILLIE moved the following Reso ,,T,iarls, which, having been seconded by Mr. WARDEN, Parkhill, were unanimously adopted, and the Meeting se eordingly Resolved— '. That the Meeting had observed with deep concern that the official advisers of the Crown have it in content- Plstion to and p( se an alteration of the law appli cable to • Distilleries o i3reweries, in so far as to permit the use of tl h ' ia "es in the production of Whisky and Beer, and Be'er put that colonial commodity in competition with •to'y and other Grain, being fully satisfied that such a sure, if carried into a law, will be attended with the /unlit serious consequences to the Landed and other Agri cultural Interests of the country. r 2 ' That at present a very large proportion of the Grain : 1 1 : 1 , c e'l In this country is consumed in Distillation and 6, ; and the demand thereby created has undoubtedly been means o f mai n t a ining the price of Grain, so as afford not more than an adequate remuneration to the I , l4 l l.°We r. That the footing upon which Distilleries were 1,,,,F,ed by the reduction of the Sirit Duties in Scotland in and in England in 1825 , p was understood to be per " Meta, and upon the faith of this many of the farmers W ho hav e go t t h e i r l e ases renewed, and others who have lately; betaken themselves to the cultivatio n of the soil, lave, i n consequence of the enlarged prices, become 135 und to pay proportionally increased rents. If Molasses, however, is to be allowed to supplant Barley and other Grain, as most • unquestionably it will do, in a great 'measure, if permitted to be used in Distill ttion and Brewing, the present demand for grain must be mate tially diminished—the Agriculturists will be deprived of their heat and steadiest customers—prices must fall— and, in the present state of the Agricultural Interest, the !float ruinous consequences must ensue, not only to the theediate h o ld ers o f t h e l an d , b ut also a large class of community who are entirely dependent upon them. 3 . That thi s M eet i ng, w i t h muc h d eference, cons id er 1 ` ! e • be highly impolitic to b e ever i n t ro d uc i ng , or even t a L ' tati ng, new commercial plans, as t e nding in an emi eret'lt "degree to shake the confidence and paralyse the ex be.'' of the indu s t r i ous an d en t erpr i s i ng —a n d besides eff l e ag ruinous t o many , must b e atten d e d w ith th e h o p e f u l :t of rendering commerce a mere system of gaming. 14,7 That Petitio ns , i n c o n f orm ity with the foregoing 7 41160 n5, be forth w ith pr ese nted to Parliament ; that 'e House of Lords to be presented by the Right lion. 11. _ .

NAVAL AND MILITARY LIFE ASSURANCE. 5, Waterloo-place, and 70, Cornhill. TO render NAVAL anti MILITARY MEN independent of the casualties which may re sult from change of service, non-payment of Premiums, and other circumstances not within their own controul, the Directors of the ASYLUM have collected materials of the most pe , feet character, from which they have a,cer tained the rates which ought to be paid for Policies to cover all the risks to which the officer may be exposed in the performance of his professional duties. To those who do not immediately contemplate service on foreign stations, two guineas per cent. per annum, in addition to the ordinary life premium, which is the lowest in England, will be charged for a policy covering all parts of the world, and all services in which the officer may thereafter be employed in the British army or navy. Officers under orders for foreign stations at the time they effect insurances, will be charged the proper rate for that particular station, and may be covered against all future change, by payment of an extra one guinea per cent. per annum. In either of these cases the officer may at any time dis continue the extra premium, and hold his policy on the footing of an ordinary European insurance. To facilitate, as much as possible, the adoption of so de sirable a system of insurance, the Directors will allow one third of the annual premium to remain unpaid, to be de ducted with interest, at the rate of four per cent. per an num, from the sum assured, the officer having the privi lege of paying at any time such arrears and interest, and thenceforth standing assured for the full sum originally set forth in the policy. DOMESTIC INSURANCE. The rates of the Asylum Company, whether for a term or for the whole of life, are the lowest ever published, and one-third of the Premiums may be kit unpaid, to be de ducted with interest from the sum as Aired, or parties may begin at a very low rate and pay on so ascending scale. The Asylum is a proprietary body, supported by a sub scribed capital of 240,0001. in 2,000 shares of 120/. each, in addition to the premium fund. A Committee of Directors, attended by a Medical Officer, sit at the Company's house in Waterloo-place, every day, (except Wednesday,) at Three o'clock, to grant insurances, in cases in which speed is an object. A full Board of Directors meet at 70, Cornhill, every Wednesday, at the /mile hour, and the Resident Director is in daily attendance, with a Medical Officer, at the latter place, to grant facili ties to persons in the City. GEORGE FARREN, Resident Director. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-. B OW-STREET. On Monday night, as one of the constables of the F di vision was on duty in the Strand, he observed a scuffle take place between two gentlemen, one of whom had an elegantly dressed female in his company. The constable soon perceived that the object of this gentleman was to continue his protection to the lady, while tie other as ear nestly strove to rescue her from him, asserting that he was her husband, and therefore her natural protector. The lady herself, however, did not seem at all inclined to claim him, but on the contrary clung to her companion, declar ing that her husband was a brute, and that she would sooner die than have any thing to do with him. The husband on hearing this rushed forward to seize her, but was repulsed by her protector, by whom he was struck. The constable perceiving that an assault had been com mitted, and fearing that a more serious breach of the peace would ensue, took both gentlemen into custody, the lady still clinging to her companion, and conveyed the parties to the station in Covent-garden, where a violent alterca tion took place between them. Mr. Thomas was At first inclined to detain the lady's companion, who proved to be a barrister, on the ground of his hav ing committed the first assault, but the lady de scribed the conduct of her husband in such colours, and detailed such a series of grievances, that Mr. Thomas did not feel himself justified in detaining the barrister, and he intimated to the parties that there was no charge against them, and that they might proceed where they pleased, provided they kept the peace. The lady, however, ear nestly prayed that she might not be given up to her hus band, and begged as a favour that Mr. Thomas would allow her to remain all night in ever so dark a dungeon sooner than what she so much dreaded should occur. She then openly accused her husband of prostituting her per son, and mentioned the names of several' noblemen and gentlemen to whom he had himself introduced her both by letter and in person. She charged burn with h av i ng received the wage s of her infamy, and accused him or pawning her trinkets and jewels which she had received as presents front her wealthy and titled lovers. The husband denied the charge. " How can you say so, Maria r' wag his answer to the charge. " How can I say so," reiterated the wife, " look at these ear-rings, look at this shawl, and ask yourself from whom I received them, and for what." She then turned to Mr. Thomas, and again ea rnestly begged that h e would afford her protection until morning. Her husband again endeavoured to soothe her anger, and strove to pr e _ ( v ie a t il es u ta p t o io upon her n an a ti d i i g s o , ot:nae:uhi she r. T t h t o ir n n l e a d s fi. f n ro i n li t y li t i o n o r k w i i i t e l r i husband's charge ' against her fu r deserting her home, although he felt that, in doing so , th e o ffence was not one which came within the jurisdic tion of a Magistrate, but he wished that some charge should b e made to sanction his detention of the lady, although that detention was her own seeking. The barrister, having declared that he would appear at Bow-street in the morning, on behalf of the lady, left the station, as did the husband a lso, after another in effectual effort to work upon the love a nd dut y of his wife. The husband declared, on leaving the station, that he would be sure to attend before the Magistrate, and refute the charges which his wife had brought against him. Mr. Thomas provided the lady with an apartment in the sta- TV 0 R SHIP-S TREE T. Yesterday evening Mr. BROUGHTON, the sitting Ma, gistrate, was occupied some hours in investigating a case of a rather extraordinary nature, arising out of an affidavit made by a young-lady, of prepossessing appearance, against her husband, a picture-dealer, on the score of cruelty to wards her. The affidavit upon which the warrant was granted, and which was read publicly by the c l er k, st a ted, tat they had been married ten years ago; that while de ponent was living with her husband in the Harrow-road, she happened to lose her reticule and its contents ; in con sequence of which he ordered her to undress herself, when he afterwards deliberately beat her with a huntsman's whip, in the presence of her two sons, until the blood streamed from her body, which was seen by a lady in the house, named Hall, who, hearing the screams of " Murder," came to her assistance, and pre vented further mischief. On another occasion he beat her with a thick ash stick, and while in the family way kicked Ler down stairs. He, after that, compelled her to prostrate herself on the floor, and say, " she hoped God would strike her blind, if she ever told any person what he had done." He also threatened to shoot her if ever she left him. On one occasion she, in her own defence, scratched him in the face, upon which be said, " I'll teach you how to scratch !" and actually, by force, took her hand and cut her nails to the quick ! Some time ago he was held to bail at Bow street, for his brutal conduct towards her. Deponent added, that, unless her husband was restrained by legal power, her life would be sacrificed. Mr. BROUGHTON—How long is it since you left your husband ? Complainant—Three months, in consequence of his wanting me to prostitute my person to a gentleman. Mr. BROUGHTON—Can you point out that person ? Yes! A gentleman who was standing beside the complainant corroborated the statement made by the latter relative to the threat of shooting. Mr. Holder, jun., solicitor for the defendant—Pray, Sir, who are you ?—The gentleman replied that he was a solicitor in the lemple, and that he appeared on behalf of the complainant. The defendant, who possesses a handsome person, but, from his conduct in the office, proved that he had very little controul over his feelings, in requiring two officers to stand beside him, to prevent his interrupting the proceed• ings, denied, iu most positive terms, the charges alleged against him. Mr. BROUGHTON-What do you say in answer to the charge of cutting her nails to the quick ? Defendant—l never did. The fact is, she slept out one night in a house in Leicester-square, and having afterwards bit her nails, swore that I had done it. She has been living in adultery with a gentleman in the Temple, named Complainant—No, I have not ; I have been living with my mother. Defendant—Your Worship, I found her at his cham bers last night, and on their coming out I demanded my wife, but he held his fist in my face, and swore he wou ld never part with her. I followed him into the Strand, when, in consequence of his having struck me, I gave him in charge, which was heard at Bow-street this morning, and discharged. I'll take her home now and give her all my fortune if she will leave that rascal. I love her as I love myself ! It's that rascal who has made her swear to that affidavit. We have until lately lived happily, and I have witnesses to prove it. Two respectable witnesses deposed to the defendant and his wife, at the time they visited them, being on good terms with each other. Mr. BROUGHTON-Will you take your wife back with you to your home? Defendant, (emphatically)—Yes. Complainant—Never will I go home again to his house, to endure what i have endured. ' Mr. BROUGHTON, who had very patiently listened to this long distressing tale of conjugal misery, decided, that as the complainant had not brought witnesses before him to prove the statements averred in her affidavit, he could not think of holding her husband to bail, after his declara tion and offer to take her a,gairi under his roof; and after having promised never to offend her again. Here a scene took place which baffles description ; the defendant attempting to prevent his wife joining the gen tleman above-named, who, he stated, was outside the office, and, at the same time abusing the gentleman who attended for the wife. Mr. BROUGIITON having interposed, told him he should hold him generally to bail to keep the peace towards all his Majesty's subjects, unless he conducted himself better. Several gentlemen here interfered, and restrained the de fendant. . Alr. Holder having promised to keep his client in good temper, the parties retired, amidst a multitude of persons, chiefly women, who had congregated outside to see them, and to ascertain the result. It was reported last night in the House of Commons, that the report of the Committee of Privileges, in the ca.e- of Mr. LONG WELLESLEY, was, in substance, favourable to the jurisdiction exercised by the LORD CHAN CELLOR. TRIAL FOR LIBEL.—On Thursday week, Mr. PRENTICE, editor and publisher of the Manchester Times, was indicted at the Salford Sessions for publishing a libel on Captain Grumsuaw. Mr. PRENTICE defended himself; and the Jury, after a confinement of fifteen hours and a half, not being able to agree on their verdict, were discharged on Friday morning, which, as in the case of Mr. CORBETT, amounts to an acquittal. Two only of the Jurymen were for conviction.

We trust that a liberal subscription will be raised for the purpose.-- Liverpool Albion. --•-- A . brisk and rather pretty-looking female, who called herself Lady A. M-rr, has suddenly disappeared from her residence on the Marine-parade, anti her cre ditors, who are nutnerous, are suffering great anxiety on her account, as she had gained " golden opinions" from all of them, and they know not where to seek and proffer her a continuance of their notice... -Brighton Jouriud. The Earl of ABERDEEN then rose, to ask his pro mised question relative to Foreign Affairs. The subject of the speech of the French King must have excited not only the surprise of their Lordships, but of every men in the country. He (Lord Aberdeen) had been completely paralyzed by it. That speech referred to two subjects incomparably of greater importance than any that had occurred for many years on the Continent of Europe, and he trusted, therefore, he should be excused in the anxiety he felt to know from Ministers what part they had taken on the subject. Some time since he had called the attention of the House to the existing relations between France and Portugal. For alleged grievances and demands for reparation from the Government of France, reprisals had been ordered and many captures made, which he had called the attention of the Noble Earl at the head of the Government to without entering into the merits. He had also called his attention to the treaties existing betr.•een this country and those Powers, engagements of the most binding nature ; and he urged, in the strongest manner, the duty of employing the influence this country had to avert the calamity, by which this country, as well as its allies, were thre itened. It might probably be a matter of congratulation to the Noble Earl opposite that the power of France was triumphant in the Tagus ; but what he wished to know was, whether that Noble Earl was prepared to lay upon the table of the House all such communications as had passed between the British and Portuguese Governments and the Government of France, with a view to explain the motive and cause of the war, and the measures that had been made use of to effect it. The other subject which he wished to advert to was certainly not more important, but much more astounding. The barriers on the frontiers of the Netherlands were to be demolished—those barriers which had been erected for its protection, at the expense of so much labour and waste of blood—were to be entirely or in part destroyed, and how henceforth the entries for that country were to be secured, God only could tell. He pre sumed there existed some agreement by which the demolition of these barriers was to take place, and he wished there fore to inquire of the Noble Earl if he would lay upon the table of the House the Diplomatic Act, of whatever description it may be, which sanctioned the demolition of barriers which had been erected 15 years for the defence of the Netherlands, but which were now he must suppose in consequence of the:superior wisdom of the Noble Earl, to be removed. Earl GREY—In any explanation which he might think it proper to give of the transactions to which the Noble Earl had adverted, he would not be provoked either by the Noble Earl's reasons or his sneers—(Hear)—to deviate from that course which he had uniformly fol lowed when called upon to make premature disclosures on subjects of great political importance, with reference to which discussions were still pending. He would be fully prepared, however, to defend the conduct of his Majesty's Ministers if the Noble Earl or any of his friends should make a motion so as to force a premature discussion of these topics—they taking upon themselves the responsi bility of the course which they might choose to adopt, and of the consequences which it might produce. With respect to the Noble Earl's question on the subject of Por tugal—was it a question or an attack on his Majesty's. Ministers ?—(Hear, hear.) He had now to state, as he had stated on a former occasion, that be acknowledged the obligations imposed on this country by the treaties with Portugal, but he said now, as he had said then, that the obligation did not extend so far as to support Portugal against the hostility of another Power to which Por tugal had persisted in refusing the satisfaction which was properly and justly due to that Power. This country was not hound to support Portugal in a war which on the side of Portugal should be manifestly unjust. Ile did not now enter into an y . discussi on of the general subject, nor did the Noble Earl himself appear to think that he would be expected to do so, for his question was, whether his Majesty's Ministers would con sent to lay on their Lordships' table some information as to the correspondence and communications which had tak e n place between France, Portugal, and this country with reference to the late proceedings of the French Go vernment with respect to Portugal. To that question his answer was, that when the proper time should arrive, he would not be unwilling to give the required information. At present, however, he did not fee: himself called upon to afford this information, since it roust relate to matters which were subjects of discussion between this country and other Powers ; and, therefore, prematurely to lay on the table the papers to which the Noble Earl adverted, might be attended with serious inconvenience, if not with public mischief. But then the Noble Etrl had said, that the entry of the French fleet into the Tagus, and the taking possession of the Portuguese capital by the French m i g ht, perhaps, be to him (Earl Grey) matter of congra tulation. H e (Earl Grey) repelled the imputation with the disdain which it merited, whether coining from the Noble Earl, or any one else. There was no man in this House or in the British dominions who was more sensibly alive to the honour of the country than he was ; but the state of things between Portugal and France did not appear to the Government of this country such ass to call for its interference upon - any principle of policy or diplomatic obligation. The second question of the Noble Earl related to the subject of the demo- lition of the fortresses on the Belgic and French fron tiers; and the Noble Earl called for an explanation relative to this astounding intelligence. To this he replied, that when it was found impossible to preserve the union of Holland and Belgium as one kingdom, and when a sepa ration became necessary, it was considered by the Powers that a new arrangement in regard to these fortresses might be expedient, if not necessary. As to the documents con nected with this new arrangement, he was not Willing to l a y them on the table, as that arrangement had not been finally settled, but was still under discussion. But while be deprecated the production of papers relating to subjects i n regard to which discussions were still pending, yet he was of opinion that he might produce the particular di plomatic act by which four of the Powers engaged in the conference had agreed to make such a new arrangement in • respect of the fortresses as the altered state of affairs ap- peered to justify and cell for ; and he, therefore, anticip.it iog that the Noble Eat l's questions would involve the sub ject of these fortresses, had come down to the House pre pared to read the diplomatic act in question. A protocol or resolution relative to this subject, of slate the 17th of April, had been agreed upon by four of the Powers en gaged in the conf erences re l at i ve to t h e sett l ement o f Bel gium. The four P owers to w hi c h h e a ll u d e d were , Russia, Austria, P russ i a, an d t hi s country— F rance b e i ng, l ot obvious re asons , excluded. The protocol in question tl i t n je i c o t n of of that the the as Netherlands, s tated, that th e Pl en i potent i ar i es of the f our P owers hav ing met, and th e i r attent i on hav i ng b een called to the subject soon d a fortresses the'yhsieethi t e l l y a l atwere n been between unanimouslyerected o Rollandt i e frontiers f op and Belgium should be effected, a new arrangement should take place in regard to those fortresses, and that the independence of Belgium should be provided for and guaranteed upon a new principle, and under a new system. They were of opinion, that a part of these fortresses might be razed ; and it was agreed, that when the fitting time and opportunity should arrive. t he representatives of the four Powers should meet, and settle which of the fortresses should be demolished. This was the diplomatic act by which it had been agreed that some of the fortresses should be demolished ; but which of them should he demolished be could not tell, since that neater had not been finally arranged. It was supposed that the altered circumstances in which Belgium was placed, rendered it expedient that some of these fortresses should be demolished ; and it was to - be a matter of future consideration and negotiation, what part of them was to be demolished, and which of them. This Protqcul was communicated to the French Government, bi a letter The Duke of WELLINGTON.—He would be the last inan in the world to require of his Majesty's Ministers prematurely to lay before this House or the public any information, the immediate production of which might he of serious injury to the public service. But as he had been connected with the arrangements by which these for tresses were to be erected and garrisoned, he felt himself called upon to set himself and his country right before the world, with respect to the part which they had taken in these transactions. It had been agreed by the Ministry of 1814, and other Powers, that these fortresses should be erected and garrisoned, so as to form a barrier of de• fence against France to the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the North of Europe, and the expense of all ilia, was to be borne by Great Britain and Holland. But at the time of the Treaty of Paris, it was agreed by Russia, Prussia, and Austria, that part of the French contribu• tions due to them should be applied towards the erection and proper maintenance of these fortifications. These Powers who thus bore the expense of erecting these for tresses, were certainly those to whom the fortresses be longed_ France had done nothing whatever in regard to these fortifications, except in applying part of the contri butions due to other Powers, towards defraying the ex pense of their erection and maintenance. When the revo lution had upset the kingdom of the Netherlands, the settle ment of the Belgic territory became a subject of conference between this country and some of the other great Powers of Europe ; and France was called upon to assist at these conferences. It was reasonable, under the circumstances, that a separation should be effected between Holland and Belgium, and that a separate arrangement should be made ' for Belgium. He admitted that these things were reason able, and no Power had reason to complain, as all the Powers had agreed to guarantee the independence of Bel gium; and France, least of all, had any reason to com plain, as she was secured from aggression on the side of Belgium by the guarantee of all the Powers, that Belgium should be considered as a neutral territory. France being thus secured, had the least reason of all Powers to call for the demolition of these fortresses. The King of France had contributed nothing towards the expence of erecting and maintaining of the fortifications, and therefore the Go vernment of that country had nothing to do with them. He a:knitted that the other Powers, who had been at the expence of erecting and upholding the fortresses, had a right to agree that some of them should be demolished, if they thought proper, and he was glad to find, from the in formation given this night by the Noble Earl, that the sub ject was taken up by the four Powers, to the exclusion of France ; but he exceedingly regretted that the King of Holland was not called upon to assist at that conference— ( Hear, hear, from the Opposition benches)—considering how very materially that conference concerned him and the interests of his country. It was true that the Powers bad agreed to guarantee the independence and neutrality of Bel gium ; but it was not sufficient merely to guarantee the in dependence and neutrality of Belgium. They ought to have given that country sufficient strength to protect itself and to preserve its own independence ; and therefore the guarantee did not by any means supersede the use of the fortresses.—(Hear, hear.) This was his own view of the subject. These fortresses had been erected for the pur ! poses of forming a bonier for the Netherlands and the north of Europe, and not with the intention of affording the means of aggression upon France; and he was anxious to relieve himself and hie country from the imputation that they ever intended these fortifications as an instrument of aggression. He repeated, that the object of the erect ing and the maintaining of these fortresses was to afford the means of defence against France, and not of aggression upon France. Then, as to the subject of Portugal, he was very much concerned that the Noble Earl had not afforded some information with respect to the causes of the unfor tunate situation in which that country was placed. He confessed that when be heard of tie invasion of Portugal by the fleets of France, without any appearance of any opposition, or even remonstrance, having been made by the Government of this country against the aggression, he as an Englishman, felt ashamed and humiliated at the cir cumstance. He said that he felt ashamed of it as an Englishman, not as one connected, as he was, with the army, of whose noble acts Portugal had been so often the scene. The exploits of the army in that country were imperishable.—(hear, hear.) They were matter of his tory, and nothing could tarnish them.—(Hear, hear.) But he confessed that, as an Englishman, he deeply re gretted that the Government of this country had not taken some steps to save Portugal from this humiliating aggres sion on the part of France. Ile was aware of the diffl culty which the Government had encountered in en deavouring to procure a satisfactory explanation and settlement with reference to the circumstances which had occasioned this proceeding on the part of France. But these circumstances were of themselves exceed ingly- trifling. Two individuals, natives of France, had been tried somewhere in Portugai, exactly in the usual and legal course of proceedings in that country, and had been condemned, and this condemnation appeared to the French Government to be unjust. This was the whole ground and reason for the commencement of hostilities by France against Portugal. In his opinion, the influence of this country ought to have been exerted with the Portu guese Government to make reparation for this injustice, it injustice there was, and that the same influence ought to have been exerted with the French Goiernment to pre yea any serious aggression by France on Portugal for a cause so very trifling. It might, as appeared to him, have been represented to the French Government with effect, that the cause of offence was really not worth the ex pence of any serious effort to procure redress, while it woe very likely that a hostile aggression on Portugill would be attended with great injury to this country, and even to France, and might endanger the peace of Europe. It was the duty of the Government of this country to take every step in their power to save Portugal from this humiliating disaster. It ought to have been considered that Portugal had been our most ancient and firmest ally—that the alli ance between this country and Portugal had been older and more constant than any alliance between any two countries in the world. Portugal had been of the greatest advantage to this country, and had lately, at three or four different times, Leen the scenes of the highest glory of this country, when its armies fought on Portuguese ground, not merely for the defence of Portugal, but for the preser vation of the liberties and independence of Europe ; and now at last the enemy was allowed to take possession of the capital of Portugal without even a remonstrance having been made by this country against it. The Noble Earl did not pretend that he had refrained from interfering on the ground of a defect in the title of Don Miguel to the throne of Portugal; and indeed he could not shelter himself under any such pretence, for it was only a few months ago that be himself hail demanded and received satisfaction from Dort Miguel for injustice done by the Portuguese Government to certain of the subjects of this country. By that pro ceeding he had recognized the title of Don Miguel to the throne ; and having obtained the satisfaction which he de manded, he ought, upon the common principle of reci procity, to have averted this attack on Portugal. But setting that ground aside, and looking only to the best in terests and truest policy of this country, tiore was no na tion in Europe whose alliance and independence ought to be so dear to this country as the alliance and independence of Portugal.—(hear, hear.) And yet, while a Bill was depending in Parliament for putting an end to the com mercial treaties; between this country and Portugal, we al lowed Lisbon to be taken possession of by an enemy with out even a remonstrance on the part of the Government of this country against it. And would Portugal again look to this country for protection' Would nut the Por tuguese authorities say, We have lost all advantage fronts our commercial connection vi ith England ; we can no lon ger trust to her lor protection : we will, therefore, put an end to our connection with England and declare for Fi once." This would be a consummation devoutly wished for by France ; and there could be WO u hat the French Governmeut w ould be very r eady to un ' lettake the protection of Per'ue:,l in return (*or the ad vantages to he derived from an alliance with this count'). He was sorry to have troubled their Lordships at so much length on this subject, but it was one on which he felt deeply, and he court, not help considering tide invasion of Portugal, without even a remonstrance on the part of this country against it, as one of the greatest misfirtunea that had ever happened to this country. It was to himself one of the moat serious subjects of regret he bad wee-0A in the whole course of his life. Earl GREY—The Noble Duke had a very great ad vantage over him in the present discuasion—if discussion it might be called—as it was impossible for him, on this occasion, to enter into any discussion en the general ques tion, as that would effect negotiations which were still pending. He was very unwilling to anticipate the dis cussion which, at a proper seas in, must take pl tee on the general merits of the subject ; an I he would not anticipate it if he could poasibly avid it. He wtaild in the mean t.inie content himself with saying, that none of the cir• tt nstances connected with the entrance of the French fleet into the Tagus could forum a reasonable around for that feeling of huiniiiation with which the Nagle Duke represented himself as being affected, although the state of things which had produced that feeling might he a proper subject of regret. Whether the policy or the honour of this country had been at all compromised by that transac tion would come to be, considered whet' the Noble Duke or any of his friends on that side of the House should bring the subject regularly under discussion by a motion. The Noble Duke bad slid that the causes of this proceeding .is the part of the French Government were light and trivial. As to that, all that he would say at present was, that points in themselves light and trivial might become mat ters of the highest importance as connected with the ho nour of our country, and of much more importance than points which in themselves were of much more weight and consequence. The Portuguese Government had com mitted acts of injustice in relation to some subjects of France, and for this the French Government thought that it was imperative upon it, in point of honour, to demand explanation and satisfaction. That satis faction had been obstinately refused ; and the French Government had sent a squadron to the mouth of the Tagus to enforce its demand. That squadron had en tered the Tagus, and then the satisfaction had at length been given, as the French Government had been informed by a telegraphic despatch. This was all that the Government of this country knew of the matter. --(The Earl of Aberdeen shook his head.)—The Noble Earl might shake his head at this ; but whatever commu nications the Noble E irl had received on the subject, he (Earl Grey) might be allowed to say, that he knew as much or more of the matter than the Noble Earl did. The Noble Duke called the entrance of the French fleet into the Tagus an inraxion of Portugal. But he (Earl Grey) was not aware that the French squadron had any troops on board, or that the entrance into the Tagus had anything of the character of an invasion. The squadron had entered the river in order to force a demand of satis faction for a particular injury. The demand hail at last been complied with, and there the matter rested. He la boured at present under a great disadvantage in discussing this subject, because he did not feel himself at liberty to bring the whole merits of the case before their Lordships ; hot when the time came that he could lay before them full and ample information on the subject, he felt no apprehene &en but that he would be able most completely to relieve his Majesty's Government from any reproach on account of their conduct with reference to the transaction. In the mean time lie appealed to the candour of their Lordship and the country, and only requested of them to suspend their judgment until the whole case was brought fully and fail! ) , before them. As to the Bill now pending on the subject of our commercial relations with Portugal, to which the Noble Duke had adverted, he was prepared to show that such a Bill was called for lay a regard to the real interests of Portugal as well as of this country. With respect to the Belgic fortresses, he (Earl Grey) be lieved that it was the intention of the Noble Duke, and of those with whom he acted, to make these fortresses a barrier for the defence of the Netherlands and the North of Europe, anti not to set them up as the means of aggression and insult in relation to France; but still the alteration in the state of Belgium justified a new arrange ment in regard to those fortresses, more particularly as the independence and neutrality of Belgium was guaranteed. by the several Powers who had been parties to the Con ferences. Although the design of setting up and main taining these fortresses was not to insult France, or to provide the means of aggression on France, yet there were reasons why France should feel dissatisfied at the con-. tinuance of the whole of them. But the question was, whether, under the new state of things, it was worth while to maintain the whole of these fortresses, and whether it was possible for a country like Belgium to keep them properly garrisoned—whether they really could be of much importance as a means of defence against aggrestion on the part of France, and whether the guaran tee by the five Powers of the independence and neutra lity of Belgium was not a much better security for Bel gium than these fortresses ? Great doubts had been enter tained by very competent judges at the time when these fortresses were erected, whether they would really be of ' any great use for effecting the purpose for which they were intended. In a military point of view, he, of course, could not set his authority against that of the Noble Duke ; but, considering the matter in a political point of view, he was of opinion at the same time that these fortreesza would be of very little use in effecting their intended purpose; and he was satisfied that, under the altered circumstances of Belgium, they could hard,'; be of any use. Politically considered, they condoee4 nothing to the real utrength of Belgium ; far, iu case of a war between that country and France, there could hardly be a doubt hut that they would be in time hinds of France in the course of the first week of the campaign. Let it i& recollected that the agreement between the Four Powers did not extend to the demolitiars of the whole of the for tresses, but only to the dosnolition of some of them ; and it still remained to he considered how many and which of them should be demolished. In the mean time Ile had only to say, that he would be ready to show at the proper time that a new arrangement in regard to these fortresses was expedient, and that the new arrangement would place , the matter on a much better footing than that on which it had been placed in 1815. This much he thought it sufficient to have said for the present ; and in conclusion, he again appealed to the candour and liberality of their Lordships and the country, at least so far as to suspend their judgment until the whole subject should be brought under their view. Here the conversation wa* clo;ed. FRAUDULENT DEBTORS' BILL. Lord WYNFORD rose to move the third reading of the Frauds on Creditors' Bill; but after some conversation with Lord Plunkett, the Noble and Learned Lord post poned the third reading to Tuesday. Their Lordships adjourned at Twenty Minutes past Sir. 110 USE OF COMMONS, Jar. r 26. The _gallery was not opened until 1.1 elf past Four o'clock, the time of the House having been occupied with ballotting -for a Committee upon the Carmarthen Bo rough Election. It will he recollected that at the late general Election the Sheriff did not proceed in the elction for Carmarthen, stating his inability to do so in consequence of the riots. No Members were there fore returned. The following Members were sworn on the Committee:— Sir M. W. Ridley, Lord Stanley, Hon. Charles J. Norton, Hon.

Mr. BURGE presented petitions from the towns of Cardiff and Banff, for an inquiry into the condition of slaves in the West Indies. Mr. TYRELL (we believe) presented a petitiiita from the county of Kerry, in favour of the grant to the Kildare street Society, and praying the House still to afford eu couragement to the education of the poor. Mr. O'CONNELL said, chit although this petition was signed by only a few persons, be was bound to admit they were of very great respectability. Ile could state, however, that the only party spirit shown in Kerry was in consequence of the introduction there of the Society's And LlApti ts' schools.
