The matter was, however, soon divulged, and further investi gation has led to the discovery of some other pre cious articles, which had escaped the rapacity of the culprits, and of a monumental inscription con firming the fact of its being the tomb of Odoacer. The Spanish Ambassador to the Court of Parma hai presented to the Duchess Regent a letter, in which Queen Isabella 11. confers the dignity of Infant of Spain upon the present Duke of Parma, Robert I. Letters have been received from Rome to the 20th. The consistory which was to have been held on the 19th had been postponed to the 23rd in consequence of the funeral of Cardinal Fornari, which took place on the 19th. The ceremony was performed in the church of St. Philip of Neri, adjoining the Gabritlli Palace, where the deceased prelate resided. The Pope was present with all the Sacred College, the prelature, and the municipal authorities, and his Holiness pronounced the absolution. A considerable number of the clergy and of the inhabitants were present in order to testify their veneration for the deceased. A number of French residents also attended on the occasion. The de ceased Cardinal was born at Rome in 1788, of parents of the lowest class of society. He was dis tinguished for his virtues and theological attain ments, and was for some time nuncio at Paris. His nomination to the rank of cardinal in petto took place in December, 1846, but he was not formally proclaimed cardinal. until September, 1850. A month ago there were three cardinals who had been nuncios at Paris ; at present only one remains, the a g ed Cardinal Macchi, senior member of the Sacred College. SPAIN. As a proof of the readiness with which the loan demanded by the Government is being subscribed for, the ileraldo, of the 21st, states that of 85 dis tricts of the province of Albacete, 70 have already offered to pay their part within the ; period fixed, and that a number of the inhabitants of the other districts have also made the same offer. PORTUGAL. The official journal of Lisbon, of the 10th, con tains a decree of the King-Regent, granting an ex traordinary credit for salaries arid allowances to officers and midshipmen of the Portuguese navy Who may serve for three years in the allied_fieets of England and France. SWITZERLAND. • A. letter from Bellenz of the 21st, in the Parla ment° of Turin, states that the Austrian blockade has been raised in consequence of the Canton's pro mise not to tolerate any Italian refugees within its territory. Nevertheless, Austria has consented to allow a few Italian professors, who are refugees, to remain in the Canton. Gus-BoATs.—We understand that Government con tracted last week with Mr. Pitcher, of Northfieet; for four gun-boats. THAMES TUNNEL.—The Sing of Portugal and the Duke of Oporto paid a visit to this wondrous structure on Saturday, June 24, the royal visitors being-accom panied by the secretary, Mr. Mason, who explained to them every point of interest in connexion with the tun nel. His Majesty and the Duke expressed their gratifi cation in the highest terms of eulogy, and seemed to be particularly struck with the dryness of the works. RESIGNATION OF MR. PETO, M.P.—A. report was current in Norwich, on Monday, that its excellent re presentative, Mr. Peto, was about to vacate his seat, and become a candidate for the supposed vacancy in the representation of the city of London. The loss of such a man at Norwich would be felt by all classes there, and most persons were disinclined to believe in the report. A meeting of the liberal electors has been called by their respected leader, Mr. Springfield, fir this (Tuesday) evening, and it is feared the announce ment of Mr. Peto's resignation will then be made. The liberals are an the alert in case there should be a vacancy. Amongst the many names of candidates mentioned, Lord Bury and Mr. Henry Birkbeck are the favourites.

ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE ISIS.— OXFORD, Monday.— The dreadful occurrence of Friday last, by which five young persons suddenly met with a watery grave, has been succeeded by another fatal accident close on the same spot. The melancholy event took place this morning between eleven and twelve o'clock, while seve ral outriggers or sculling boats were engaged in racing for the St. John's College silver sculls, which takes place annually about this time. Mr. William Earle, com moner of St. John's, was one of the competitors on the occs.sion ; and, while in the act of contending for the race, and when about 300 yards from the Isis Tavern, his boat by some means was upset, and although several of his friends were soon on the spot, the body, we regret to say, was not recovered until it was too late to restore animation. The University Coroner will hold an in quest to-morrow. Several rumours are afloat as to the cause of the accident. In consequence of this melan choly affair, the procession of the eight oared racing boats on the Isis did not take place this evening. FIRE AT SHOREDITCH.—Yesterday morning, soon after 3 o'clock, a fire broke out at 22, Church-street, Shore ditch, and was not extinguished until the property set down in the following official report by Mr. Braidwood, had been destroyed :—" No. 22, Church-street, Shore ditch : Mr. R. Franklin, tobacconist ; the premises burned down ; the stock in trade, furniture, and other effects consumed ; the contents were insured in the Lon don Fire-office, but the building was not insured.

BURNING tiF THE KANGAROO STEAM-SHIP IN THE TnamEe..—Yesterday morning about three o'clock, con siderable alarm was caused amongst the numerous per sons employed on the river Thames, in consequence of the sudden outbreak of a fire of a formidable character in the splendid steam-ship belonging to the Waterford Steam-packet Company, named the Kangaroo, which had arrived in the river from Manilla. At the time of the discovery the whole of the crew were in their berths asleep, and the police bad great difficulty in making them aware of their impending danger. When that was eventually accomplished, the smoke was found to be so dense that the men bad much difficulty in getting upon deck. They then battened down the hatchways, which prevented . the fire from extending. The powerful steam floating engine and the other floating engine from Rother bithe were as quickly as possible taken alongside the burning vessel, when it was found that the fire was raging among the cargo of coals, under the foredeck, and had already extended to a neinber of bales of hemp. The engines were set to work under the direction of Mr. Jerrard, engineer, and Legg, one of the firemen in charge of the engines, and some thousand gallons of water were scattered over the conflagration, in spite of which not the least impression could be made upon it, owing to the flames being confined so deep under the coal as not to allow the water to descend. The firemen, therefore, were obliged to dig holes in the cargo, notwithstanding the density of the smoke, and when they had succeeded in accomplishing that object, they applied larger hose pipes which had the effect of sending into the ship as much water as fairly covered the . cargo. This expedient had the effect of confining the fire to that portion of the ship in which it commenced. but nearly three hours elapsed before it was entirely extinguished, and had it not been for the iron bulkhead of the ship there is no doubt enter tained but the flames would have extended further aft. A very searching inquiry has been made by Mr. Robinson, of Mark-lane, the agent to the company, for the purpose of ascertaining how the disaster occurred, the result of which left little doubt that the furnace of the boilers had overheated and set the coal in flame. At present it is unknown whetl.r the vessel was insured or not. At the time of the outbreak the ship was lying off Hoisely down stairs, but fortunately no other-vessel was in the least degree injured, CARLISLE RACES. (TIES DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC. TEIEWIA PH.)

MERCHANT SHIPPING BILL. The 'house then went into committee on this bill. Clauses from 1 to 290 inclusive were agreed to, with some verbal amendments. ' [LEFT SITTING.] ROYAL PPINCASS'S THEATRE. Mr. C: Kean took his annual benefit last evening, and for the first time alone, unassisted by his accomplished lady, who, although materially recovered from her pro- 21 tracted illness, is still unable to resume her professional 1 duties, and to return to the position in which she has so long delighted the public. The house was crowded in S every corner soon after the opening of the doors, and Mr. 5 Kean was greeted with a simultaneous and enthusiastic burst of applause. On this occasion a new melodrama, 2 The Courier of Lyons, was produced, of a very extraor- 2 dinary and original character, adapted from the French, S and founded on a melancholy judicial fact which occurred 8/ in Paris at the early period of the revolution, during the S rule of the Directory. A. robbery and murder of the most atrocious nature was committed by three accomplices ; two 5 were taken, but the third and principal contriver escaped. 2 A person of respectable rank in society, totally innocent, 10 was arrested on strong suspicion, arising from his extra- S ordinary resemblance to the real criminal. The most con vincing evidence was produced against him ; he was tried, 2 condemned, and executed with the -other two. Shortly after the true culprit was discovered, and the fatal mistake 2 became palpably evident. The family of the unfortunate • victim, under the early consulship of Napoleon, instituted a suit for the restoration of his property , which had been confiscated, and succeeded in obtaining a reversal of the sentence with the full acknowledgment of their rights. 1 The subject, with altered names and locality, was drama- l tised nearly 30 years ago, but has never been produced on the London boards. The version from which the present English adaptation is taken was first acted at the Theatre 'de la Unite on the llith March, 1850, and is the joint pro- I duction of Moreau, Siraudin, and De la Cour. By per- I mission of his living representatives, the real name of Lesurgues is restored to the principal character. The entire drama is greatly condensed, the parts heightened, and the interest concentrated, to bring it more in accord- l ance with the peculiar taste of an English audience. ] Mr. .Keau plays two parts—and most admirably doei he play them—that of Dubuse, the leader of a gang of rob hers, and Joseph Lestirge, the son 'of Jerome Lesurge. In personating Dubuse, the actor appears as a ruffian ; in personating Joseph Lesurge, as a benevolent and excellent gentleman, who is on the point of marrying his daughter Julie to M. Didier. All through the play this series-of transformations of character and dress are kept ap with singular dexterity by Mr. Kean. The rapidity of the changes, both of character and costume, could only be ef fected by a most accomplished artist. All the other parts were well played, and the success of the drama was une quivocal. Mr. Kean was twice called before the curtain. Her Majesty and Prince A'bert occupied the Royal box, and appeared to be wrapt in deep attention by the extra ordinary interest of the Courier of Lyons. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert took a drive yesterday afternoon in an open landau and four. Major-General Buckley and Captain the Hon. Dudley de Ros were in attendance on horseback. Prince Albert, attended by Captain the Hon. Dudley de Ros, inspected the Essex Rifles in Hyde Park yester day morning. 'Prince Arthur and the Princesses Helena and Louisa took a drive in an open carriage and four. The Princess of Salerno, and the Duke and Duchess D'Aumale visited the Queen yesterday. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by the Duchess of Athol!, the 'Hon. Mary Seymour, Lord Waterpark, Major-General Buckley, and Captain the Hon. Dudley de Roe, honoured the Princess's Theatre with their presence last evening. The King of Portugal and the Duke of Oporto left Buckingham Palace at twenty minutes past eight o'clock yesterday morning for the Euston-equare terminus of the London and North Western Railway, and proceeded to .Birmingham on a tour through the manufacturing and mercantile districts. His Majesty was attended by Le Marechal Due de Terceira, Viscount de Carreira, Baron de Sarmento, Chevalier de Mello, Colonel Folque, Lord de Tabley, and Major-General Wylde. The Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Anna Maria Davison, Baroness de Speth, and Sir George Couper, went to Frogmo‘e yesterday morning, and returned to her residence, Clarence House, St. James's, in the evening. Colonel Biggs, Dr. Gavin, and Sir G. Bonham, had interviews yesterday with Sir George Grey, at the Colonial-office. RAILWAY TRAFFIC .RETURNS.

(and a free pardon to any accomplice) is offered for such information as may lead to the conviction of the murderer or murderers of a newly-born male infant at Walsall. From the notices issued, it appears that the unfortunate babe had been strangled in a most brutal manlier by passing a cord or piece of twisted rug twice round the neck, with a knot under the left ear. The body was found accidentally , concealed in the chimney of a bedroom in the Turk's Head, Walsall. It was in a very decomposed state, and wrapped up in an old waistcoat and a woman's' apron. DEPARTURE OF 450'VOLUNTEERS FROM THE GUARDS FOR TURKEY.—This morning, at half-past four o'clock, 150 rank and file from the Ist and 2d battalions of the Grenadier Guards, 150 from the 2d battalion of the Cold stream Guards, and 150 from the 2d battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards, making a total of 450 rank and file, exclusive of nine sergeants, twelve corporals, and six drummers, who have volunteered to join the service battalions of their respective regiments at the seat of war, were parade t in the square of St. George's Bar racks. The men are all fine, athletic yOueg felloWs, and appeared to be in the highest spirits and anxious for the fray. They were accoutred in light service marching order, and artned with the Minid rifles. The same rule was observed on this occasion as on pi evious departures, of allowing the men to be absent from barracks, and the result was equally favourable ' there not being a single defaulter thi s morning at roll call. At five o clock the troops were most minutely inspected by. Colonel Reeves, , of the Grenadier Guards, who proceeds with them in command, and -who addressed the men in the most enthusiastic language' on the nature of the service on which they were about to proceed ; after which, the line was formed into column of sections, and preceded by the band of the Ist Battalion of Grenadier Guards, emerged from the Barrack-gate, and were greeted by most voci ferous cheering from a large assemblage of persons, and which was continued along the Strand, females waving handkerchiefs from the windows as the brave fellows passed ; in crossing Waterloo-bridge, the cheering of the crowd was incessant and deafening, nor did it subside until the troops had taken their departure by special train on the South-Western Railway, for Southampton, at which place they will embark this afternoon direct for Varna. DETERMINED SUICIDE.—This darning about half-past eight o'clock, a determined suicide was committed by Mr. Alexander Young, a master tailor residing at No. 2, Drury-court, Strand. He was discovered by , his daughter hanging from a peg in the wall in his bedroom, with his toes just touching a chair on which he had been standing. An alarm was made, and a neighbour went in and cut the unfortunate man'down. surgical assist ance was immediately obtained, but life was extinct. No cause has been assigned for the commission .of the rash act. GEORGE PEABODY, ESQ., the eminent banker in the city, gave his annual white-bait dinner to his American friends yesterday. at the Brurtswick.Hotel, Black wall. Among the guests (nuoibering.upwards of two hundred), were -the American Minister and guile, the' Lord and Lady Mayoress, a number of the aristocra , 7, and several 'distinguished Americans now in London. This evening the Americans have a grand "turn out" at the Haymarket, Theatre, as a compliment to one of their favourite actors.

My statem upon tha` point is Perfectly true ;it is in- Controvertible her it was intended to be qualified in the manner which I have now stated to your lordships. I feel, therefore, that I have nothing further to say, of the treaty of Adrianople. It has also beensaid that I recommended areturn to the status quo, or, at least, that I would not object to it. Now, my-lords, this statement suprises me more than any thing ; because I bad taken special care toexplain that point in• my answer to the observations of my noble and learned friend. I stated that that might be the cause of some apparently ambiguous expressions used by Austria and by Prussia, as compared with the expressions used by our selves, and I said that Austria and Prussia might be desir ous to restore the .etatus . quo ; but, at the same time, I made the apeCific, declaration that that was by no means applicable tows—that-is to England and France. - (Hear.) You are aware, my lords, that. before the declaration of war the status. quo was all that we hoped for—all that we desired—all that we attempted to obtaiis, and that was the agreed e treaty ed to b condition which the Tu r ki s h G overnmen t aignitied its wil ulipnegunetshsetuo ntagrlerseteantdeig to. T ofy all Vie t nn he a f w ou a r s p f o ra w m ers ed , • that the relations between R uss i aan d Turkyhoul I revert to the status quo. We thought th a t was quite es as much as the Emperor of Russia could expe c t us to offt,srua much More than ho had any right to e x p ec t. But. m , a ylords, proposed that in the•hope that we s h ou ld b e able to preserve the state of peace, anti that we should b e a bl e t oav avert our entering upon a course where all the evil passions that war enge nders would be let loose. But the instant that w declared, the state of the question was entir e ly altered. was (Cheers.) From that moment everything depended upon the war itself, and we are left free to exercise our own-judg ment—to do that which we think will best suit our own inte rests and policy in framing the - terms of peace. From that moment the status quo was entirely at an end. (Cheers.) Very well. I also said, as to the terms of peace, that how ever desirable however necessary we might think cert a i n terms to be, still it would be unwise in us now, in the pre sent state of the war, to lay down any conditions of peace as those to which alone we will accede. (Hear.) These must depend upon the events of the war; and in the debate to which I have already referred I recollect I did say that the conditions of peace would be very different if we found the Russians at Constantinople from what they would be if we found ourselves at St. Petersburg. Well, my lords, with in these points lies the whole scope of the variance from the status quo. How far we may deviate from the status quo no man can at this moment say, because that must depend upon events which are not within our power absolutely to control. But, this we can say, that the independence and integrity of Turkey are undoubted conditions--they consti tute the sine qua non—that must be secured, and secured effectually. (Cheers.) But how that is to be done must again depend upon the progress of events, in the course of the negotiations which may take place at the moment. But that security must be taken—security for the independence anti integrity of Turkey, so far as depends upon Russia, is really the object from whioh.-we are determined not to de part. (Cheers.) But again, 1 say, now - this is to us ob tained neither I nor any man in this house is able to say. We know what our object is—our main object at least — and of course by one mode or another we will obtain that without which peace is impossible. (Hear, hear.) I think, also, exceptiou has been taken to some expressions of mine, as I have expressed doubt or disbelief of any danger from Russian aggression. Now, I wish here to say that I have the greatest alarm as to R ussian aggression against Turkey. But against that aggression in any shape—whether in the shape of influence, whether in the shape of conque4, or in any other mode — we are prepared to protect her. But, with respect to Russian aggression upon Europe, indepen dent of her designs upon Turkey, I certainly did express no great alarm, because I feel no great alarm, and I am in clined to feel less and less every day. (Laughter.) If Russia, indeed, could be supposed to be in possession of Constanti nople, if she had made good her aggression upon Turkey; if she were in possession of Constantinople, then indeed I should feel alarmed for Europe, because I think Russia would acquire then the means of becoming formidable and dangerous to Europe. Without that, my 1, eds, I cannot pre- , tend to say that I feel- any'great alarm. I consider France tei be more powerful than Russia and Austria put together —(hear, hear)—and it is therefore impossible for me to look upon Russia with any grest alarm out of her own frontiers, or in such a light as would induce me-to think teat it would be _better to enter at once into a state of- war in. order to repress dangers which Ido not feel. Danger froin Russia against Europe appears to me mainly, if not entirely, to depend upon her power in Turkey and in the EastL If that - power.be checked—and it is to be hoped that_ we shall suc ceed in keeping her entirely free from exciting further alarm in the Turkish territories—then I cannot possibly think that there need be any very great alarm as to what she may do to Austria, or Prussia, or France, or England. (Cheers.) This, however much it has been misunderstood, was really all. that I'meant to express as to my general incredulity of any danger from Russian aggression. I have now shoWn your lordships what sort of•aggression it is that I am afraid of, and what sort of aggressiOn it is that I am not afraid of. I am not aware that there is any other part of the observa tions which I addressed to your lordships the other night which requires further explanation. I believe I have already explained everything - which, from being misunderstood at the time, appeared -to be calculated to excite feelings of dis trust in the Government. My lords, I wish I could confine myself to this-explanation ; to the full expression, of the sentiments Lentertabs, and which appeared to me necessary to be explained. I could have wished cot taiuly that I might have been spared the necessity of saying anything about the' extraordinary and absurd imputations—the personal im putations—to which I have been exposed. (Loud cheers.) I have no fear that your lordships, who are accustomed to weigh the actions and the sentiments of public men, will fail to co mpreheud the motives from which I have acted; and the misrepresentation of them has been' so ludicrously absurd, that I feel—indignant as lam—l feel it would not be worthy of the position which I now occupy—it would not be worthy of the memory of those with whom I have acted—it would not be worthy of my own character, if I were to condescend to enter upon any justification of my personal motives. (Cheers.) My lords, it is true that I have more than any other man struggled to preserve the state of peace for this country.. I have done so because I thought it my duty to the people" of this country—my duty to God and assn--toeshaust every possible means of preserving pesce, and my only regret is—though I trust your lordships will acquit me on that point—my only regret is, that I should not have done all, and lest in any way I should - have lost some possible means of averting the greatest calamity that can be fall a country, for, however glorious any war may be, the calamities which accompany it 'are heavy enough greatly to outweigh that - glory. -I - know it-"has been said if you love peace so much, you are unfit for war. My lords, though peace is so dear to my feelings, still I am convinced of the necessity of this war. But how do I wish to make war ? I wish to make war in order to obtain a peace ; and I know well that the best mode of making war in order speedily to obtain a peace is to make war with the utmost vigmr and determination. (Cheers.) My noble friends near me know well enough that, peaceable as I am, I have never shrunk —that, on the contrary, I have give n my moat ready concurrence to the most active measures of hostility and warlike preparations. Nay more, I believe I may say they will admit that I have personally been more urgent than perhaps any other man in exhorting the speedy concentration andadvance of the allied forces north of the Balkan in support of the gallant army of Omer Pacha, and to extend a helping hand to Austria in order to enable her to carryout her professions. (Cheers.) This, except for the warmth of the feelings under whichl spoke, I ought not perhaps to say—(cheers)—but it is the truLli that, in the course we have taken; I have invariably urged the most decided course of action. (Cheers.) My lords, I have now no more to say. I wish to confine myself to this subject without entering upon other topics more or less connected with the wars—with the events that led to it, or that may follow from it—l wish to remove understandings which I feel to be perfectly erroneous interpretations of what I said, and I now declare that so far from my former endeavours to preserve peace disqualifying me from car rying on thd war, I think, though of course I may bewrong, in the particular means, I think we ought to have-recourse to the most expedient, the most prompt, the most sue cessful means of carrying it on. , I -maintain, and assert, that my very love of peace induces me now to enter upon . this war, which I unquestionably believe to be a. perfectly just war—(cheers)—and therefore-it is that I—so long 'as I have anything to do with the Govejrnment,—shall nnques tionably carry it on in such a manner as will be .most likely to secure benefit to England , a nd 'to - es tablish a safe and honourable peace. (Loud and continued cheers.) The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said the explanation of the noble earl ha d _ been re n dered necessary in conse quence o f the observations he m ade o n a f o rmer .evening to the speech of the noble a nd learn e d lord opposite, to whom this country and all Europe 'were indebted for the lacid explanations he had-given of the state of our.rola lions with Russia. • But, though the explanation s ' of the no ble earl:were confined to that subject, still he.,must say that the question which the noble earl had now raised was on a much wider scale than the immediate effect or the . precise terms of the treaty. of Adrianople. Ho understood that the noble earl wished to state clearly to their lord ships his views, not upon the war only, but upon the fo reign policy of the country in general. He had -gone as far back as 1829, and he had more than once stated that he through life had been consistent, in which ho (the Mar quis of Clanricarde) entirely agreed with him, and he had laid before their lordships grounds on which he thought himself entitled to the confidence of Parliament, and to be allowed - to conduct the war to its termination. That was a groat question, which he (the Marquis of Clanricarde) undoubtedly would not have mooted in the house, but as it had been mooted, he would not shrink from discussing it—while he readily admitted-and, if necessary, would assert and maintain—that the noble lord had nd throu withgh his whole life acted with entire consistency, a also considerable ability, yet,. ever since 1.8 . 29, it was his ntis fortune to differ from the noble earl on alMost every topic' of foreign policy, and he thought that the sentiments and principles which had dictated that policy, and the repute ' tion which the noble earl acquired in support of it, were the principal causes which had led to this war, during the course of which he thought that-.the past conduct of the noble earl rendered him unfit to be her Majesty's chief ad viser. But he must say a word - or two with respect to this despatch. • The noble earl had dwelt -upon the fact that it hadbeen adverted to so long ago as by the late Earl Grey, and that Lord . Melbourne refused to permit it to be pub lished— , The Earl of ABERDEEN was -understood to express his dissent. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE—At all events it was considered that this despatch was of such an important nature that it was not advisable to publish it. So lately as February last, a member of the other house, feeling that the despatch ought not to be quoted by Ministers unless it was laid before Parliament, moved for its production, and the answer of Lord John ,Russell, was, that he could not undet-take to produce it without first consulting with the noble earl. That consultation was held, and the result was, that the despatch was not produced. He must say, then, that the noble earl now proposed for his peraono convenience—perhaps for its being necessary to his own vindication, but in either case f • ;-•-htid froth personal motives consented. to do that which he had formerly declared to be calculated to injure the public service. And do not let him be told that this wonderful document which bad been so long talked of, and 'which was - 'now about, to be sub I. - mitted to profane eyes—do, not .let it be-said that hadunlo not be produced in February last, because war t been declared, for.what WAS the remark of the l nolite ea ) rl . upon the observations of the noble and:'. learned e r before I w n e site? no said, they. might have been veryw indignation went to war, in order to rouse the public, for against Russia, but that now :there was no occasion d o noe and thew.

The Earl of ABERDEEN—My lords; I have taken a somewhat unusual course upon the present occasion, bat perhaps your lordships will not think it altogether unjusti- Treble or unreasonable that I should be desirous Of availing myself of the earliest opportunity to remove the misappre "'mug one which have taken Ow and which have led in consequence to great misrepresentatious of some observa tions which I addressed to your lordships in the course of the last week. My lords, I could wish that those who ex press an opinion upon the observations in question would take the trouble to read the report of that speech. I have done so myself ; and although I declare that I, have no thing to retract or to contradict, nevertheless I readily ad mit that, from the imperfect manner in which I always address your lordships, there may probably—there may undoubtedly—be reason for some explanation, and some further development - of that_Which,l had intended to ad dress to the house with a view to - bring fully and clearly before your lordships the views and opinions which I en! tertain upon the subject to which my observations referred. My lords, I feel that I can do so with great ease, and, for tunately, in a very short time—otherwise, from the indis position of the moment, I should not attempt to address your lordships upon the present occasion. (Hear.) My lords, the despatch for which I intend to move 'was first referred to in this house by the late Lord Grey, very shortly before he became Minister. ,It has been mentioned at other times, both here and in the House of Commans. It has been moved for but withheld for various reasons. It was likewise referred to by myself not very long ago, and I have now resolved to produce it, because I understand there has proceeded from a very high authority in another place the astounding declaration that I have recently, claiMed the honour of framing the treaty of Adrianople. (Hear.) Now, my lords, the prodtiction of the despatch in question will show you how far I was instrumental in framing that treaty, and what was my opinion, and the opinion of the Government • whose organ s l was on that occasion, of that unfortunate and - disastrous treaty. My lords, it has been said —or, at all events, it has been interred from what .I said a few days ago—that I re garded the treaty of Adrianople with approbation, or, at least, with indifference. Now, my lords, the fact is, such was the impression produced by that treaty—such was the alarm excited by its conclusion —such were the supposed dangers which we dreaded to the existence of the Turkish empire, that the whole policy , of the British Government was changed on a most material point in consequence of that treaty. I have, already, I think,- referred in this house to the, fact, which your lordships well know, that at the beginning and during the progress of the Greek re volution, Mr. Canning never contemplated the existence of Greece as an independent kingdom, •neither did the Duke of Wellington ever contemplate the existence of Greece as an independent kingdom, but solely as a vassal state under the suzerainty, of the. Porte, somewhat similar to the provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia. When, hoWever, the treaty of Adrianople was signed, it appeared to me, and my noble friend at - the head of - the Govern ment at the time agreed with me, that the condition of the Turkish empire was so perilous in itself- that it would be extremely unwise to create a state and to place it under the protection and suzerainty of an empire which itself was exposed to extreme peril, and whose "existence was prolonged for a time only. Therefore we agreed to pro pose to our allies to convert that vassal state into an inde pendent kingdom. Our allies agreed with us, and the Porte at last assented to our proposal. Hence the exist ence of Greece as an independent kingdom is duo to the impressions produced upon us by the terms of the treaty of Adrianople. My lords, what I- have now said shows at least what were our impressions; andsalthough they may be thought by some to have been erroneous, can as sure your lordships that at the time they were un questionably honest and sincere. I fully admit that the apprehensions which we. then felt have Wiled out to be greatly exaggerated. However disastrous the treaty of Adrianople, and however mischievous pits conditions, nevertheless we have the experience of the last 25 years to assure us of the continued existence of the Turkish empire; and more than that, wo have had proof of the vigour, of the energy, and of the courage and perseverance with which the troops of that empire have maintained the integrity and independence of their country. (Cheers.) It is obvious, then, that we were under the moat exaggerated alarm for the consequences of the treaty . of ,Adrianople. Now, my lords, Ido not mean to say, al though fortunately we were somewhat mistaken as to the amount of the danger to be apprehended from the treaty of Adrianople, that that treaty was not, in the highest de gree, dangerous and prejudicial to the interests of Europe. (Hear, hear.) I have never said so, either here or else where. My noble and learned friend (Lord Lyndhurst) called it, I think, an "unfortunate" treaty. My lords, that is not a word sufficiently strong to describe the char acter of that treaty. (Hear, hear.) True, my lords, I have said that, disastrous as the treaty of Adrianople. was, Russia has made no great territorial acquisitions in conse quence of that treaty. I said so as the simple truth. I was induced to say so, perhaps, at the moment, in conse quence of a declaration, most exaggerated and unfounded, that my noble and learned friend had made, that the Rus sian empire had doubled its territory in Europe in the course of the last 50 years. That I hold to be completely incorrect, and, with the recollection of the treaty of Adria nople before me, I certainly did refer to it in proof that no such extension of territory had taken place as that asserted by my noble and learned friend. But, my lords, although I knew perfectly well, and indeed I think there can be no doubt of the fact, that no considerable extension of terri tory has taken place in consequence of that treaty, never theless I was not at all the less aware of the importance of the acquisitions that have 'actually been made since 1829. I know perfectly well the importance of the acquisi tions which Russia has made with respect to the navigation of the Danube, and I am equally sensible of the importance of the posts which she has acquired in Asia. Although small in extent, those acquisi tions, from their character, are of the highest political importance. My lords, as the despatch for which I in tend to move is long, and will be immediately upon the table of the house, I will not fatigue your lordships by reading it in extenso ' but I must trouble you with a single e xtract, to show that, although I dwelt strongly the other evening upon the limited extent of the territorial acquisi tions made by Russia, I did not in the slightest degree , mean by that to invalidate the political importance of the acquisitions actually made by Russia. The passage is ex pressed- in these terms :—" It may not be easy to accuse of want of generosity the conqueror who checks the wire sisted progress of success, and who spares the defenceless capital of his enemy. Nevertheless, the treaty in question —certainly not in conformity with the expectations held out by preceding declarations and assurances--appears vitally to affect the interests; the strength, the dignity, the present safety, and future independence of the Otto man empire. The modes of domination may be various, although all equally irresistible. The independence of a State may be overthrown, and its: subjection effectually seoured, without the presence of a hostile force or the per manent possession of its soil. Under thepresent treaty the territorial acquisitions of Russia are small, it must be admitted, in extent, although moat important in their character. They are commanding positions, far more. valuable than the possession of barren provinces and de populated towns, and better 'calculated to rivet the fetters by which the Sultan is bound." [A Peer—L" What is the date?") The despatch is elated the.3lst day of December, ' 1829. My lords ' the extract I have. read shows that the small extent of the acquisitions made by Russia did not blind me to the importanceuf their character ; and, there fore, when the other night I dwelt upon the absence of any very great territorial acquisitions, of course it is with a view to contradict the assertion of my noble and learned friend, and to state what may be termed a geographical truth, but without the slightest reference to the undoubted political importance of those acquisitions which have actually been made. My lords, the conclusion of the treaty of Adrianople was the commencement of a change of policy on the part of Russia. It is highly probable that if that treaty had been made by the Empress Catherine, great ac-, quisition of territory would have taken place. But, as I have said, at that time Russia commenced a change of policy which has been carried on to the present day with ever increasing vigour, and which , accounts, to a certain extent, for the absence of those territorial acquisitions which in other circumstances would no doubt have been 'made. That change of policy consists in this—Russia, instead of pursuing the policy which was followed in the preceding century, has, since the conclusion of the treaty of Adrianople. looked to the exteuSion of her politicalin fluence rather than to the acquisition of territory. (Hear, hear.) A very prudent and politic change it has been. We have all heard that " Satan's grown wiser than of yore ;" and, perhaps, the line is not inapplicable to the Emperor of Russia, in haring determined to pursue the same objects by different means, and means calculated not so greatly to alarm the European powers. (Hear, - and a laugh.) I believe this is the secret of all that has taken place in recent years. Take, for example, the treaty of Unkair Skelessi, concluded when a Russian army was in possession of Constantinople. There can be no doubt that if the former policy of the Empress Catherine had been followed upon that occasion great territorial acquisitions would have been made, and, they could not have been resisted in the relative positions of the two powers at the time ; but in consequencd, as I believe, of the change of policy com menced by the treaty of Adrianople, the demands of Russia olthe conclusion Of the treaty of Unkiar Skelessi, though they were of the highest importance both to Russia and the Porte, did not assUme the character of territorial aggrandisement. So with the' mission of Prince Men schikoff himself. Russia was in a position in which she might have made demands of the most pressing, nature u pon Turkey. She had-some reason for adopting that course; but, instead of exacting anything like terri torial indemnity, she at- once pressed for additional privileges, and if . she had obtained those additional privileges for. her co-religionists in the Turkish empire, I have no doubt that the invasion of the principalities would never have taken place, or would imme diately have ceased on 'the Sultan complying with her de- Mends. But of course we-felt —Europe felt—that the in dependence of Turkey would be as much endangered by the cession of such rights and privileges as were claimed by Russia as it would have been had she made a positived rand -for territorial indemnity ; and therefore it was that: lord, the pretensions of Russia,were resisted. No w , _ I have been supposed to say also that .I desireid,mobreyedaiudsneot object, to a return to the treaty. of Adrovino stated that if we could obtain a peace 1, hie P h should last for 25 years wo sh ould not do atnisq.„. (Hear, bear.) Nor should we ; but when I said that J. -never for a moment which it seems . my words meant to convey the impression Lava produced. (Hear hear.) I never said a word to imply that I desired to'return to . the tre_at to y. of Adrianople. (Hear, hear.) What I saul, or intended say, was, that the treaty of Adrianople has.given us peace for 25 years, and that if by any treaty which the fortune of war, might enable us to make we, should secure peace the instabfor an equal length of time, we should not, considering of all human affairs, do so very far amiss. Therefore, my lords, lam quite at a loss to conceive upon what ground a ny one should dare to say, first, that I have claimed the honour of making the treaty of Adrianople' and, next, that I approved of or was indifferent to its conditions, and was Aberdeen AAubg, Boit and Basin, Junet. - ., Belfast & Ballymena.

Now he differed entirely from that statement, and he believed that forthe last-30 yeari;tontendin g principles had been in agita tion over all thncontinent of Enrope, and that the different Governments and Ministers who administered the affairs of this country had varied the policy according as they favoured one or other of these principles. He must say further, that in 1828, when the noble earl first became Foreign Secretary, and in 1828, to which they were so fre quently told to refer, the nobleearl was the most constant, the most zealous, the most powerfal (in this country) ad vocate and supporter of the arbitrary governments of Europe. (Oh, oh.) He was at all times the ad voca t e more or less of the Emperor of Russia, and he was opposed on every occasion to the introduction of constitutional government. (" No, no," from Lord Aberdeen.) No ! He was ready to cite instances. But let him now go back to the treaty , of Adrianople. The noble earl had told them to-night, as he had told them before, that he looked upon that treaty with extreme horror, and that under the influence of that feeling he wrote the despatch. But he wished the noble earl would tell them, not of the despatch which he wrote in December, after the treaty had been signed in March—what he wanted to know was, the in struction he had given to our Minister at St. Petersburg the year before. (Hear, hear.) He would like to see the steps which the noble earl took to prevent the aggression. The noble earl the other night represented the Russian army as having arrived in the attitude of conquerors within a short distance from the capital, and as being able, if they had persevered, to overturn the Government of Turkey. Now, if the noble earl did not know the real state of-the case et the time that the treaty was signed, which, if proper care had been taken, he might have . known, yet surely he ought to have known in December of that year, when he wrote his despatch, and most assuredly he ought to know now that that army did not arrive at Adrianople as conquerors—that the general ia command had not more than a nominal army of 15,000 men re maining, and that out of these there were from 7,000 to 8,000 men who, from fatigue and wounds, were hors de combat. He had never heard it disputed that that por tion of the army which wasin a condition to march did not exceed 12,000, though some good authorities reckoned them at 8,000 men, while it was known that the Turkish general had, within a short distance of them, an army of 25,000 men. If the respective parties had been left alone, and if the Turks had had the least knowledge of the real state of the case, that disastrous treaty, as the noble earl called it, would never have been signed. More than that, bh if ese t d h n e bsu n igt o nh b e l ed e l.d ea u r mrp l, hh a ai s at t wfi h neat F ore i gn Minister of this country , Russian and the Turki s h ° t r h , gee t n h ce s or a t u Irts i sra pursuedtyT hweo Russianuld b n e t e w v eerenh general athvee gave the Turks—as well he might — a very short time for consideration ; had they known the truth, they never would have signed. But only five days were allowed for stantinople ? The Turkish minister summoned and a t s h k e . consideration. And What wait th e: course taken at C ons ambas sadors of Austria, Prussia, and Engl an d, edthei advice. The English minister, among oth ers , advised the Turks to sign the treaty which the . , noble earl now told them was disastrous. And who was our minister at that time at Constantinople? That lamented diplomatist the late Sir Robert Gordon, who, a short time before, had- its a rather summary manner superseded Sir Stratford Can ning. That minister must have known well what were the feelings of this Government at the time he gave the advice, and yet the noble earl now told them that it was against that treaty he sat down to write the despatch; but it would be more satisfactory if he would show what steps he took to prevent the treaty being signed. It was plain %that the despatch had done the noble earl no harm in the eyes of the Emperor of Russia, for, from the fulsomecompliments which he bestowed upon him in the despatches lately pub lished, it appeared that, far from regarding the noble earl as an enemy, he regarded him as his strictest and most re liable friend. The noble earl told them that that treaty produced a remarkable change in the foreign policy of this country—that all the ministers who went before him wished that Greece might remain in a state of vassalage towards Turkey, but that after the signing of the treaty , of Adrianople he had advocated the erection of Greece into an independent kingdom. But how the removing of Greece from Turkey was likely to strengthen and support Tui key, he confessed it passed his -comprehension to under stand.. The noble earl said that the effect of that treaty had been to give twenty-five years of peace. He could only mean between Russia and Turkey. But he could not un derstand what was the.noble earl's notion of peace, or how he could describe Russia as a peaceable neighbour to Turkey, when so far back as ten years ago the Emperor - _R t ia in d i e st a er, w which he resumed a propositiontothe nobles soon s earl,sht e t tbie earl againeentheForeign took office in 1852, to partition the very country of which the noble earl told them the Emperor was such a peaceable and well conducted neighbour. Was that the morality which the noble earl would teach great States to observe to minor States in teeir neighbourhood ? How could the Emperor of Russia be described as a peaceable neighbour to Turkey when twice within the last ten years he had proposed to partition her territories? But since 1829 there had been other great questions agitating Europe and this country. There was the contest in Portugal, which was a ,war, and which was always described to be a war, essen tially of opinion. Don Miguel 'was then the chief who espoused the cause of despotism and arbitrary power ; and Donna Maria, the legitimate heiress, was supported by all who were attached to constitutional opinions. What was then the conduct of the noble earl ? He was the mainstay of the supporters of despotism, and if he had not been in power he defied any man to say that Don Miguel would ever have attained the throne. The noble earl might say that he had never recognised him. It was true that he did not ; but, at the same time, he prevented the sailing of an expedition which would have dethroned the usurper, and his refusal to recognitie him proceeded from no dislike to his arbi trary principles, but because'he would not comply with some special conditions which the noble earl attached to his recognition. Notwithstanding this, he gave to Don Miguel all the support he could give, and far more than was approved of by Parliament and by the country. But was that all? How did matters stand iu Spain ? Was not the noble earl continually finding fault with what was done there for the support of constitutional institutions? Hewes con tinually in the habit of criticising the quadruple alliance, by means of which a constitutional Government was estab lished in Spain, and be was notoriously attached to the cause of Don Carlos. (Oh, oh.) Tee noble earl shook his head, but he would refer him to still another matter. What did he say to the case of Belgium? After the French Re volution' the Belgians, who were suffering, not only from national feelings, but from 'very grievous results of mis government, at last revolted ; the noble earl, who was then in office, talked of it as a revolt, and openly expressed his wish that the authority of the King of Holland might be re-established. He did not blame the noble earl for holds ing that language when the revolt was in progress ; but what did he say in 1832, after the separation of the two countries had been completed ? He then told the house that nothing was surprising in any country during a state of rebellion and revolt, but that the revolution was the most senseless and unintelligible of any recorded in history. Those were his sentiments in 1832, and that was all the sympathy he manifested towards it gallant people, who had thrown off a yoke which they were unable to bear, and who were then engaged in laying the foundations of a con stitutional Government, which had been the means since of showing the continent of Europe how much loyalty and liberty were compatible with each other, and how the arts and industry flourished best under a constitutional form of government. He must say he was ashamed to hear the noble earl, on a former occasion, taunt the noble lord op posite (the Earl of Malmesbury) with having received the compliments of Prince Schwartzenburg on his accession to office.. There was no one of their lordships who could mis take for a moment what those compliments meant. The noble lord opposite had received them because it was sup posed that he had been thrown by the vicissitudes of party into the position of the noble earl, of whom he was at one Itime a supporter and an abettor, and whose policy it was supposed he would carry out. (Laughter.) The I noble earl took credit to - himself for being the author of the entente cordiale with France. Bat as the noble earl had ca rriedi that ea b ar ck rr t i o nce lB l, 29 o , iig it n Lva h s ad no l t en th tob i e forgotten th a t s nt n y•for Paris to become t he Minister of France. It c w ° as p r erfectly notorious that the noble earl wished him to be the French Minister. He was Minister for a few mouths, and they all knew the catastrophe whieh followed. lie begged to observe ou what the effect of the speech of the noble earl had teen. It was not a question of particu lar phrases, but of what speeches it followed. Undoubt edly, the noble earl rose to answer the speech of the Secre tary of State for Foreigu Affairs, who joined in the argu ments of the noble lord opposite (Lord Lyndhurst), and could not resist the reasonings and conclusions to which that reasoning led. Out of the abundance of the heart the month of the noble earl spoke, and uttered sentiments whip's had created such universal astonishment and repre hension that the noble earl came down to-night to explain them away. The noble earl justified the tardiness, and what the noble earl allowed to be apparent , but which he believed to be real, vacillation of the Government, because .it was wished to carry with them the governments of the Continent. L' indepenclance Beige, a paper published on the borders of Germany, and which he could state, of his own• knowledge, had an immense circulation all over Ger many, contained a statement of the impression that speech made upon the gentlemen who reported for it. It was a telegraphic despatch, and therefore contained only a short summary of the general effect of each speech. " Londros, mardi, " Dens la seance de la Chambre dos Lords de la unit derniere, Lord Lyndhurst a appele l'attention du Gott- vernement et do la Chambre sur le Memorandum, relatif 1 la question d'Orient transmis par les tours de Vienne et de Berlin a lours envoyes• respectifs pros de la Diete Ger manique.

'Lord Aber deen a essays de justifier la conduite de la Russia, et ai li L e ti th a o t ug h h e t d th id at j plaids la cause de la paix;' (Laughter.) He thought, for a short summary, that was extremely accura s t p e e . e the noble earl' s ' acts of the Emperor of Russia, and that:he dld plead very strongly in favour of peace.

He left that question, which was a question preparaarison, to be settled between the noble earl and h ot ; wenolileagues. But it certainly did happen to be within hi s s own knowledge, that there was current throughout this country and a greater part of Ger m an y , a belief that the noble earl had stated , such w as his recollection and his horror of war, that, come what might, to war he would not be a party. That now proved to have been a misap prehension, for the noble earl said he Was urgent for fur thering and hastening preparations for war. Their lordships ,were in poseessiou of a great deal more information than when this subject was discussed in the . beginning of the session. Their information from Russia had been greatly augmented. They now knew what Was going on in the Russian capital, and in several considerable towns of that empire, from persons who were resident there in the -month of December last. It' had been s tated as a fact to him that the plan of campaign which had since been attempted to be executed had been drawn no by the . highest military authority in Russia, was well known to several persons in that country, had been discussed in military circles, and had been communicated even to foreigners in the month of December last.
