Firapulsory, but were in some degree optional with the parties, —(General murmurs.) Most of these cases, however, hap. pened in the provinces which were incorporated with Russia, and which did not belong to the kingdom of Poland. They, therefore, were not subject to the stipulations of the treaty of Vienna, and consequently this country had no right to inter. fere. For instance, many of these cases occurred in Podolia and Volhynia, but England had no right to remonstrate, because they were strictly part of the Russian territory. His Hon. and Learned Friend had stated that England quailed before the power of Russia. He trusted the British Govern ment knew too well the resources of this country to fear any nation in defence of a just cause, and supported by the Eng lish people. Under such circumstances they would not heal. tate to go to war with any European power. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman was mistaken if he thought the British Government had any apprehensions of Russia, or that fear of any country would induce them to shrink from a course of proceeding just and wise in itself, and called for by the honour and interest of this country.—(Hear.) The object of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman was not to go Ito war to prevent the country from recognizing the act of the Russian Govern. went, or giving any formal sanction to their proceedings. He could not conceive that his Hon. and Learned Friend could believe a vote of that House necessary to prevent the Govern ment doing that which by various formal communications to the Russian Government they had precluded themselves from doing, even were there any possibility that an opportunity for so doing should occur. No circumstance could arise to induce the Russian Government to seek the sanction of England to an arrangement which they maintained they were themselves competent to carry into effect. He therefore thought the motion of the Hon. Member unnecessary.—(Hear.) Some expressions had dropped in the course of the debate with re gard to the persecutions of the Poles, and required some little notice. He thought no blame attached to the Emperor of Russia personally. It was well known that the present rnlpe ror of Russia was a man of high and generous feelings, and if it were possible for him to follow the bent of his own inclination, he (Lord Palmerston) was convinced that none of the atro cities which had been spoken of would have been practised against the Poles. It might, perhaps, be observed that the Emperor of Russia was a despotic Monarch; but when per sons spoke of arbitrary and despotic governments, they should remember that even in such governments things were not conducted according to the mere will and pleasure of an indi vidual. A despot depended nearly as much upon the opinions and wishes of. those who surrounded him as a limited Mo narch. The only difference was (and a very important diffe rence certainly) that the despotic Monarch was conelled in his actions by the opinions and wishes of a few, while the limited or constitutional Monarch was guided by the opinions and wishes of the many—of the nation at large. The severities which had been practised upon the Poles, were, in his (Lord Palmerston's) mind, the clearest stbof that the power of the Emperor of Russia was by rid means unlimited, and that on many occasions ht Was compelled to follow the dictates of others. The Hon. Member for Bir mingham (Mr. Attwood) had taken a view of the question Which was certainly more extensive than that which had been taken by any other Hon. Member, but in his (Lord Palmer ston's) opinion, it was a most extraordinary view. His voice was all for war—a general war—(Hear, hear)—and he was generous enough, while he made his declaration, to offer the Government ample means for the prosecution of such a war. He offered the whole of the national debt-40,000,000/. a year, and his four sons. —(A laugh.) These were the ways and means which the Hon. Member proposed for carrying en this general war.—(Continued laughter.) He (Lord Palmerston) doubted much whether the public creditors would agree to wave their claims, in order to follow up the projects of the Hon. Member,—(Hear, hear.) Nor could he say whether the people of England were prepared to pay 40,0 0 0,'1)001. a year, for the purpose of carrying on a war in favour of the Poles; nor did the warlike Member for Birmingham state whether he had Csnisulted his four sons about the sacrifice which he was about to make of them upon the altar of liberty.—(A lames.) The Hon. Member, no doubt, had splendid ideas of the manner in which the affairs of Europe ought to be conducted. His views, however, were not more extensive than his resources ; and they far surpassed the ideas entertained by the statesmen who were engaged in the Congress of Vienna. Could the plan of the Hon. Member for Birmingham be carried into effect, his name would be immortalised for ever I At to the practicability of carrying his views into effect, the House certainly had the Hon. Member's word. it they wished to go to war at the bidding of the Hon. Member, his constituents would supply them with gunivand cannon ad libitum; and so far as the consent of the Hon. Member went, there would be no difficulty in obtaining an abundant issue of paper money.— (Hear, hear, hear.) For his part, he did not think he could so easily consent to involve the country in such a war as that which the Hon. Member proposed. With respect to the con. duct of Russia towards Turkey, he was quite satisfied that there did net exist the slightest necessity for any interference. He (Lord Palmerston) firmly believed that the Russian troops, if they had not already left Constantinople, would do so in a very short period, and he had no doubt of the good faith with which the Russian Government would fulfil the engagements which it had entered into upon that subject, not with Eng. land only, but with all Europe. He did not believe that it entered into the views of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh (as it seemed to be believed by some parties) to make a partition of Turkey. Any one who knew any thing of the matter was aware that such an attempt, if made, would be sure to fail ; but he was perfectly confident that no such attempt would be made, and that the Russian troops would instantly evacuate all that portion of the Ottoman territories of which it had taken possession. After the warlike speech of the Hon. Member for Birmingham, the speech of the Hon. Baronet (Sir R. Inglis) was quite refreshing.—(Hear, hear.) That Hon. Member did not appeal to the passions, but to the reason of the House. That was the true way in which such a subject ought to be discussed ; and he (Lord Palmerston) was happy to say that he concurred in almost every word that had fallen from him. With regard to the motion which was more immediately before the House—having stated that his Majesty's Govern ment had not only refused to acquiesce in the arrangements which had been made, but that it was entirely prevented Nom so acquiescing by having formerly expressed its dissent on several occasions from the acknowledgment of the right as. sumed by Russia, of making those changes in the state of Poland which it had recently made, he would put it to his Hon. and Learned Friend's judgment and discretion, whether it was proper to press the motion at present ?—(Hear, hear.) Would it not be perfectly satisfactory to the Hon. and Learned Member to have extracted the present declaration from him ? He thought that it could not be necessary, after that, to pro. ceed to a division. He put it, therefore, to his Hon. and Learned Friend, whether, even for the sake of those of whom he was the advocate, it would not be better to withdraw his motion ? A contrary course would only increase that exaspe ration which already rankled in the breasts of the Poles, with out effecting anything towards the redress of their wrongs. The House knew, the country knew, all Europe would know, what the opinion of the British Government was upon the subject. Every object which could be attained by the motion had been already attained. He was confident that the appeal which he now made to his Hon. and Learned Friend would not be made in vain.—(Cheers.) Mr. O'CONNELL was extremely glad to find that the Noble Lord who had just sat down did not directly oppose the motion ; but that, as far as feelings went, there was perfect unanimity upon this most important subject.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Many of the observations of the Noble Lord deserved the highest applause. Some of them were, perhaps, to be regretted; but he (Mr. O'Connell) would not say that there was anything to be censured. He was sincerely glad to find that all parties in the British House of Commons joined in con. demning the cruel, barbarous, and abominable conduct of Russia towards the people of Poland. He (Mr. O'Connell) had on a former occasion applied the term miscreant to the Emperor Nicholas, and though an Hon. Baronet then thought proper to censure him for the use of such an epithet, the Hon. Baronet's own description of the conduct of this indivi dual—this miscreant—justifies the applicatiou which he (Mr. O'Connell) had made of the term, unless indeed a stronger epithet, an epithet more expressive of the atrocity of his con. duct, could be found in the English language.—(Hear, hear.) According to the accounts of the Hon. Baronet, and accord ing to the authenticated statements of the facts, the Emperor of Russia had violated every religious feeling, and had sacri ficed every principle of humanity at the shrine of ambition. The motion would not at all commit the Government ; but he thanked God it would commit the British nation, and he was of opinion that the expression of the feelings of the British nation, through that House, would teach the ruthless, the barbarous despot of Russia, that he could not violate the rights of humanity with impunity.—(Hear, hear.) The treaty of Vienna conferred upon this country a right of in terference in the arrusgements made by Russia in the state of Poland; but the rights of the people of that unfortu. nate country rested upon higher grounds than any such treaty. They existed long before, and he trusted they would exist long after, every trace of that infamous treaty should be entirely destroyed. The Noble Lord (Palmerston) might have recol lected that he was Secretary at War to a Ministry which concurred in all the measures of spoliation and robbery perpe trated by that treaty when he commented so severely upon the remarks of the Hon. Member for Birmingham. It was said that the Emperor of Russia was a man of a good natural dis position, and that he was not personally responsible for the severities to which the Poles had been subjected. Was not the Emperor of Russia an Autocrat, and had he not the power of selecting his own instruments ?—(Hear, hear.) He had no House of Commons to restrain him in his conduct if he were inclined to employ bad instruments, and no House of Lords to control him in his conduct if he were inclined to employ in. struments of a better class.—(Laughter.) If the Emperor of Russia was a good man, how came he to drop upon such bad Ministers ? He (Mr. O'Connell) was of opinion that he had chosen such instruments as were likely to carry his purposes into effect, and that he had chosen men who were worse than himself. The Noble Lord had asserted that 40,000 families, who were said to have been transported, had gone of their own accord.—(Hear, hear.) Never had he heard a more fantastic idea. The Poles were not likely to wish to quit their native country ; and who could be supposed to desire a change from a fertile and a cultivated soil to a barren desert ? It was idle to talk of the personal humanity of the Em peror of all the Rusaias.—(Hear, hear.) Had not the severest and the cruelest ukases against the Poles been signed with Nicholas's own hand ? Every circumstance proved to demonstration that those who surrounded him were no worse men than himself; and there was nothing mon. strong of which he was not in his own person perfectly capable. The Hon. and Learned Member then spoke of several of the cases of cruelty which had been previously particularised What could be a stronger case than that of Prince Romanisky —who was degraded from his rank, was made a slave, and, when his wife petitioned for a mitigation of his punishment, I was ordered by the generous, the humane Nicholas, to match on foot and in chains, instead Of being allowed a 'vehicle, as had been originally intended? After alluding to several other cases of individual cruelty and suffering, the Hon. and Learned Meniber observed, that such acts were derogatory to the national character of the whole people of Russia. For his own part, he would as soon keep company witb a thief who had been tried at the Old Bailey, as with any of the Nobles who served under an enthroned brute of that descrip. tion.—(Hear, hear.) shame on the Nobility of Russia! Were they men, and suffered such deeds to pass unnoticed? If such conduct was tolerated in Russia, it was the only country in Europe in Whith It Would be so. A great moral feeling was now abroad. The Autocrat must be taught that these are not the days when that outrageous public prostitute, his grandmother, was allowed to display her profligacy in the face of day—when the prostitute of five thousand lovers had her praises sung by poets—Was celebrated by philosophers —and lauded by orators. That Most in famous of women—placed as she was in a situation in which her example could not fail to be most mischievous--was allowed to continue upon a throne ; while, had she been one of those unfortunate creatures who walk the streets at midnight, she would (and justly) been con signed to the tread-mill, or the ducking -stool.—(Hear, hear.) But she was enthroned. Therefore, such as she was, she lived respected, and died venerated. The days when such things were, had new, however, passed. The days of rash wars had also gdrie by. Every statesman now felt that war was an evil to be avoided by every possible means. Napoleon rose and Shone like a meteor, but, like a mercer, too, he fell in a moment, and was extinguished for ever. With all his faults, he had one redeeming quality—he had generosity. England had Ge. nerals who had ho generosity.—(Hear, hear.) England had Generals Whom neither the malice of enemies, net the syco phtncy of friends, had ever charged with ti , e possession of one generous weakness.--(A laugh.) The world was now beginning to appreciate these great COminanders. It was not by a certain number of horse, foot, and artillery that the world was in these (lays to be governed. The mode of warfare would in future be totally ditrerent from what it had been in fanner times. It would be a war of opinions, not of swords. It would only be necessary to direct the artillery of public indignation against the most powerful Mottarcn, and he would be compelled to submit. That artillery would open upon the Rtissian auto. crat upon the present occasion. The miserable stock. jobbing Government of France had disappointed the expectations of all Europe, for the noble purpose of keeping up the Funds one and a half per Cent. All parties, however, he was happy to say, appeared to be unanimous in this country upon the subject of Poland. The Hon. Baronet (Sir R. Inglis), who belonged to what was called the Opposition, and he (Mr. O'Con. nell) Who was of the Movement, or Radical party—( A laugh)— fully and cordially concurred with all tif, people of Europe, not in the disavowal, but in the reprobation of the atrocious and cruel conduct of Russia towards Poland.—(Hear.) In conclu. sion, he had only to observe, that the manner in which the sub-- ject had beets hit:reduced was extremely creditable, and Met his (Mr. O'COnnelPs) entire approbation. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, that although his Majesty's Ministers might possibly concur in the sentiments which had been expressed by the MM. and Learned Member who had brought forward the ' motion, it was their duty to protest against the language made use of by the Hon. And Learned Member who had just sat down.—(Hest.) Were the motion carried accompanied by such retnarks as had been indulged in, it would go a great way to destroy the good understanding which at present eilited between countries which were now hap' pity at amity. He trusted, therefore, that his Hon. and Learned Friend (Mr. Cutlar Fergusson), after the turn which the discus sion had taken, wouhl see the apediency of withdrawing his motion.—(Hear, heir.) The beneficial consequences which might be antitipated from the knowledge of the unani. mity which pl . evailed in that House upon this subject, would be entirely lost if the House were divided, and Ministers were Compelled to resist the motion.—(No, no.) He was of opinion that no proposition could be clearer than this, that when the unanimous opinion of that House went forth to the world it would have far more weight than it could have if a division took place and a considerable number voted against it.—(Hear.) He believed that the adoption of the motion, taken in connec tion with The remarks which had just been made, would be irninpatible with the continuance of peace, and of the good understanding wl ich ought to be cultivated between this country and its allies. If the object in view were to show that this country gave no sanction to the arrangement respecting Poland, and that the honour of England was kept clear of any participation in the 'violation of the treaty of Vienna, what had taken place in the House that evening was surely sufficient for the attainment of that object ; and he trusted, therefore, that his Hon. and Learned Friend would not press his motion, as the resu't of his doing so might be to weaken rather than strengthen the impression which might otherwise be made on Russia. Mr. BUCKINtiIi APYTeclared that every speech he had heard that &ening increased his conviction of the propriety of the lion. and Learned Gentleman's motion ; and he trusted, therefore, that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman would not be induced to withdraw it. Lord ALTHORP had trusted that his Hon. and Learned Friend would have been content with the statements of his two Noble Friends, and that he would not have pressed his motion.—(Hear, hear.) The House was well aware that one of the principles upon which his Majesty's present Government took office was the preservation of peace.— (Hear, hear.) His Honourable and Learned Friend, however, seemed disappointed in the tone of his Majesty's Government towards Russia respecting Poland. He seemed to think that his Majesty's Government ought to have gone further. How they could have gone further without involving this country in war, he (Lord Althorp) knew not. He could assure his Hon. and Learned Friend, that his Majesty's Go vernment had not been actuated by any pusillanimous fear of war. But when they knew that the Governments of Prussia and Austria differed from them, they felt, that if war were entered into at all, it would extend over Europe; that, in fact, it would be a war between England and France on the one side, and all the northern powers of Europe on the other. He did not mean to say that he should enter. Lain any fear of success in such a contest; for he always _ _ felt, that if France and England were united, they need not fear all the Powers in the world. But although he did not fear the event of such a contest, he well knew that it must be attended with such calamities that he sincerely hoped such an event would never occur.---(Hear, hear.) What was the ad dress? A statement of the opinion of that House, that the Emperor of Russia had been guilty of a violation of the treaty of Vienna. Now what answer could his Majesty be advised to give to such an address; or what conduct could he be advised to pursue ? It was quite impossible that his Majesty's Govern. ment should consent to become parties to such a vote, and not follow it up by some strong measure. It was for that reason that his Noble Friends had urged his Hon. and Learned Friend not to press his motion. It was with the greatest regret that he (Lord Althorp) took the course which he now must take, and which he had been most desirous to avoid; but as he could not possibly agree to such a proposition, under such circumstances, he was under the necessity of moving the pre vious question on his Hon. and Learned Friend's motion. Mr. WARBURTON declared that not one word had been said respecting the conduct of Russia in the transaction in question, in the truth of which he did not completely concur. But it was one thing for the Members of that House to enter tain an opinion as individuals, and another thing for them to express that opinion as a Legislature, unless they were pre. pared, should Government apply to them, in consequence of their recorded vote, to follow it up by an appeal to arms. Mr. HUME protested that there was nobody more anxious to keep the country from getting into war than himself, but he was surprised at the course just taken by his Hon. Friend the Member for Bridport. Did his Honourable and Learned Friend who made the motion propose any recourse to arms ? By no means. There was nothing which required such a proposition ; he really could not understand by what train of reasoning his Hon. Friend, the Member for Bridport, bad arrived at the conclusion, that if they agreed to the mo tion, they would pledge themselves to war. He (Mr. Hume) could see nothing in the motion but the declaration of the determination of that House not to be a part3V,p the violation of the treaty of Vienna. It was the moral effect of the motion to which he looked for benefit. Strong as had been the speech of his Honourable and Learned Friend, the Mem ber for Dublin, yet nothing could be more distinctly insisted upon in that speech than the expediency of avoiding the evils and horrors of war, and of preserving the relations of peace and amity by moral influence alone. The conduct of Russia ought to be reprobated by that House in the face of all Europe. It was a violation of treaties and an outrage on humanity. The anpals of history did not afford any instance of more cruel and persevering persecution of a nation than that which Poland had sustained at the hands of Russia. Why was the Noble Lord so unwilling to allow this? The pro position of his Hon. and Learned Friend was in strict confor mity with the statements of the Noble Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whose speech was one of the most satisfactory that he (Mr. Hume) had ever heard. Mr. STANLEY, far from condemning the warmth of ex. pression which had been used in reference to the treatment of the unfortunate Poles, considered it honourable to the House and to the country. But they were bound to ask what effect the course they were by this motion called upon to pursue was likely to have on our already delicate and complicated relations. The Hon. Member for Middlesex and his Hon. and Learned Friend who had introduced the motion, declared they had no wish whatever to force the country into a war; but the House was bound to look, not at intentions, but at probable conse quences. And he would ask if it were probable that the proposed address, coupled as it was with speeches, in which the Emperor of Russia was so personally attacked by the grossest abuse, could go forth otherwise than as a direct offence and personal insult, and as a provocation to war and enmity? The Hon. Member for Birmingham had, indeed, expressly said, " Go to war;" but in that he really believed the Hon. Gentleman was pursuing the single object to which all his efforts tended. The Hon. Gen tleman said that if we went to war, we must again have a plethora of paper-money. War, no doubt, would be any thing but disadvantageous to certain trades in the great town of Birmingham, thought it might not prove so to ocher towns equally entitled to their sympathy and consideration. But he did not hesitate to express his belief that the Hon. Member for Birmingham supported the present motion only as a simple means to had to that state of things which, as he thought, would necessitate an unlimited paper currency. What was the great principle of Ministers, when they first entered upon their situations ? Peace at all hazards —at ail risks at all sacrifices—save that of national h onour.— (Loud cries of " Hear, hear," from both sides of the House.) N ow h e as. , erted that the treatment of the Poles by the Russians was not only no cause for our entering on a war, but would be no jus_ tification whatever for any such a step. But he should say more than that, and contend that we were bound by every po litical motive to abstain from rushing into any war, the chief recommendation of which would be, that it had been taken up from chivalrous feelings.—(Hear, hear.) And let it be re membered by the House, that though we interpreted the spirit of the treaty of Vienna in a certain way, there were other Powers, whose relations, territorial and otherwise, with Russia, were of a much more delicate character than ours, who took a different view of it. And though he should never counsel that House to resign our own principles, still, in corn.. mon foresight, in common prudence, and in common reason, we should not be justified in adopting measures which the other contracting parties—much more interested than we were—did not approve and would not agree to.—(Hear, hear.) He asked them, then, if they were prepared to take any steps whin might lead to a war—a war of principles, the commencement of which would be fatal—the termination of which no human foresight could tell? Then supposing they consented to pass this declaration, how did they propose to back it ?—(Hear, hear.) You send a remonstrance to Rus sia, and, perhaps, receive in return a contemptuous and an gry refusal. Were they then to go to war ?—(Hear.) Did he hear any man say they must go to war 2—(Hear, hear.) Let that man stand up and avow his opinions.—( A little laughter.) Let the advocate of war, he said, stand up and appear as the disturber of that peace in Europe, the infrac tion of which Ministers had pledged themselves to postpone to the latest moment. Was there none such, then 7—(A laugh ; during which an Hon. Member, whose name we could not learn, stood up, and acknowledged himself an ad vocate for war.) Well, the question, he admitted, had been fairly answered ; and he hoped, before the conclusion of the debate, to hear the grounds on which the Hon. Gentleman justified his opinions. Did the Hon. Member suppose that a general war would be advantageous to our manufactures 7—(oh, oh) Would it be consistent with the honour of that House— would it be consistent with the honour of the country—would it be consistent with the high character she had hitherto main.. tained amongst the nations of the earth, that we should provoke a war, and afterwards flinch from it ? There could not but he a great moral impression produced throughout not only England, but all Europe, by that night's discussion, and by the unani mous expression of the feelings of the people of England on the conduct pursued by Russia towards Poland. This he him self rejoiced in. But with this he should rest satisfied, and he trusted Hon. Members would not in their legislative capacity lead the country to what assuredly might produce danger, if not degradation. He trusted, after all that had passed, the Hon. Member for Kirkcudbright would yet consent to with draw his motion, satisfied with the moral impression the debate could not fail to produce in every quarter of the globe.— (Cries of " No, no," and " Hear, hear.") Lord D. STUART was satisfied that the proposed address breathed nothing but the honestly-entertained opinions of the country at large. An HON. MEMBER said a few words, which were inaudible in the gallery. Mr. SHEIL said, the question arose, what would Europe say if England confessed her inferiority to Russia P—(Hear.) They were told that Russia and Austria chose to take a diffe rent view of the treaty to ourselves, and that therefore France and England, mighty as they were, must give way, in spite of the horrors accumulated on Poland. If, indeed, we were bound to make the selection of ignominy on the one hand, and war on the other, he should not hesitate in the choice. It would have been well, perhaps, if the motion had never been brought forward ; but, having made it, the Hon. Member could never withdraw it. Mr. CUTL A R FERGUSSON complained that Ministers had departed widely from the real question before them, and had replied to arguments never used by him, but by other Hon. Members, with whom he had in this no connection whatever. If the motion was to be lost because two Hon. Memters chose to pursue a certain line of argument, then it would indeed behove every man to be very cautious how he proposed any thing in that House. He had not called for war—there was nothing in the motion calling for war. What he wanted was to record the solemn opinion of that House— (Loud cries of " Hear, hear ")—not for the effect it would have on Russia, for he believed it would have none, but for the effect it would have on the whole people of Europe. Sir R. PEEL said that as the Hon. Gentleman had ex. pressed his determination to press the motion to a division, it devolved upon him (Sir R. Peel) to state the grounds upon which he could not acquiesce in the motion. He did not deny the right of the House to offer and submit advice to the Crown with reference to the diplomatic relations of the country, but he must contend that the House ought to have a clear foresight of all the consequences which might arise from existing circumstances, and care ought to be taken not to trench upon the Royal prerogative. The House ought scrupulously and carefully to weigh those consequences, and there ought to be nothing equivocal or ambiguous in the advice tendered to the Crown. The terms of the mo tion were in his judgment both equivocal and ambiguous, and contained two distinct propositions ; first, that this country was party to the treaty of Vienna; and secondly, that treaty had been violated. If the House was prepared to place this motion upon record, the next step would be to offer an address to the Crown as to the course in this respect to be pursued. The language of the resolution he had already said was ambi guous, and in consideration of the nation's character, in con sideration of the Crown, and lastly in consideration of the people of Poland, there ought to be in it no possibility of misconception. The terms of the resolution were uncertain, and if he (Sir R. Peel) was also left uncertain as to the lan guage of the address, he was still more left in doubt, and he must maintain it was inconsistent with the character of the Commons' House of Parliament to present such an ad dress. If the subject was a matter of personal interest to the country, what was the course to be pursued by the Legisla. tore ? Should they not say that the rights and privileges of the nation had been violated by foreign Powers, and that the House would support the Crown in vindication of the national honour ? The Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Fergusson) had said that he did not anticipate any advantage from his motion. Why, then, should the House enter into a discussion as to whether the Emperor of Russia had acted right or wrong in the exercise of his power over his subjects ? He (Sir R. Peel) could not acquiesce in the motion; but if the national faith required any such interference he was prepared to propose a much stronger measure. While he could not support the re. solution, he begged distinctly to state, that he participated in all the sentiments which had been expressed on the gallantry of Poland; and, at the same time, to state his sympathy and deep regret for the sufferings of that nation, originating in the conduct pursued by Russia, if the statements of the Hon. Gent. were founded on fact. On a former occasion, when the Hon. Gentleman had introduced the subject before the House, he (Sir Robert Peel) did not undertake to refute the statements then made, and particularly that with re. gard to the removal of orphan children ; but if the statement was well founded that children, not orphans, were removed—not, as he had supposed, for the purposes of humanity—if, above all, 5,000 families had been driven into exile without any proof of guilt, while he could not conceive the policy of such a course of conduct, yet if such was pur sued, no man was prepared in stronger terms than himself to express his deep regret at such a violation of the rights of the subject. He would remind Russia of the expressions as to the rights of humanity emanating from herself during the war between Turkey and Greece; for after such opinions then sent forth by Russia, he was willing to hope that there was much of exaggeration. If, however, the statements were true, he begged his non.acquiesence in the motion should not be taken as a criterion of his want of sympathy for the suf fering of the Poles,—that he was indifferent to their happiness, or wanting in the feeling of indignation at their treatment by Russia, which he believed to be unanimously felt in the House. —(Hear, hear.) Lord SANDON said, though he had formerly supported a motion similar to the present one, he could not in this instance follow the same course, as he was afraid, if the address was carried, it would only increase the painful ambiguity which characterised the situation of the unfortunate Poles. The House then divided, and there were— For the motion 95 Against it 177 Lost by a majority of B2 LOCAL COURTS' JURISDICTION BILL - - Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice that on Thursday cie should move a resolution declaratory of the opinion of that House, that it was the duty of the representatives of the people to take immediate means forlhe establishment of Courts of Local Ju risdiction, for the better administration of justice. Mr. ROBERT STEWART obtained leave to bring in a Bill to enable procurators or solicitors before the inferior courts in Scotland, or the partners of any such persons, who shall here after be chosen chief magistrates in any burgh or town in Scot land, to act as justices of the peace in the counties in which such chief magistrates may be ex officio in the commission of the peace. NEW POLICE—THE CALTHORPE-STREET AFFAIR. Lord Althorp's motion for a Select Committee to Inquire into the circumstances connected with the occurrences in Cal thorpe-street was postponed till Thursday next. _ . lhe other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at three oclock.

KING'S BENCH.—I❑ the case " CRAWLEY V. PERKINS and another," which was not concluded yes terday when we went to press, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 2001. Cipr *nn, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 1833. Patience, goon folks, the House of Loris. —no, let us do their Lordships justice--a miserable m ijority of the House of Lords have deckled that you shall not have cheap law, that you shall not have it brought to your doors, that law is a luxury intended only for their own special use; and that, therefore, a tax shall be imposed upon it. The Local Courts sanctioned as the restoration of a principle acted upon by our free Saxon ancestors, partially destroyed by the Normans, and the change in the value of money,—recommended by the Commis.,ioters appointed to examine into the state of the Common Law— stamped with the approbation of the m m whose name will be handed down to posterity as the greatest the present age has produced—called for by the wants and wishes of the people—the Bill, we say, so sanctioned, so recommended, so author'zed, so wished for, has been defeated by a set of men with as little knowledge of as they have interest in the subject. We did once look forward to their pockets not being touched by the measure, as a circum stance which might induce their Lordships to have the discretion to abst ,in from offering opposition to its passing. Led on, however, by that consistent min, Lord LYNDHURST, and that mild and tempe rate Christian, Lord WYNFORD, a certain portion of the House have taken a step which cannot fail to sink them lower in public estimation than they were even sunk before. What infatuation can blind them to the consequences of the course they are pursuing we cannot im igine. To the eye of an observer, who has not for the last three years been asleep, it is as clear as the sun at noon-day, that the opposition Lords are hastening on a crisis which can have no other result than their own destruction or degradation. Every day they appear to do all that in them lies to make their privileges, illy, their very existence as a legislative body, odious to the people. To take up a minor point connected with last night's important decision, it will be observed, by reference to th e debate, that the number of vote's present on each side were exactly equal, eighty-on e to eighty-one, and that the Bill was in fact thrown out by men who had not heard a tittle of the argument advanced last night in i's favour ! Can any thing put in a plainer light the unmitigated absurdity of this privilege of voting by proxy? Does it not show that next to restoring the Bishops to the flock they now neglect, it is of all things necessary to the character of the House of Lords that Mr. TENNYSON'S motion for the abolition of this practice should he carri-d ? With respect to the speech of Lord BROUGHAM in defence of the Bill (unheard by the proxies) it is one of the most masterly replies we ever heard. W e e will not do the CHANCELLOR the injustice of pretending to describe it; hut we will ven'ure to say that no ma❑ will rise from its perusal without the consciousness of having enjoyed one of the greatest intellectual treats it is possible for him to en j Seldom has Lord BROUGHAM appeared to greater ad vintage—never have his opponents seemed to shrink into more contemptible littleness. Lord WYNFORD'S cry out for mercy, as the ro.: was raised to strike him for the tenth or eleventh time, was rich in the extreme, and pro duced a dramatic scene which will not he easily effaced from the memories of those present. The first part of the evening was occupied by the op ponents of the Bill, and as we read their speeches we marked different passages for comment, but when we came to the reply of which we have been speaking we found that there was hardly an argument advanced by the Tories which the CHANCELLOR did not cut up root aid branch. We should have been content, therefore, with the simple expression of our admiration at that speech, and regret at its having been thrown away, as far as the House of Lords is concerned, were it not that the question is to be brought under discussion in the House of Commons to-morrow night, Mr. O'CONNELL having witl,in an hour of the close of the debate in the Upper House, given notice of a motion to the effect, that it is the duty of the Representatives of the people of this realm to take measures fur the more expeditious, conve nient, and cheap administration of justice, by the esta blishment of Local Courts of Judicature. As humble gleaners after his Lordship, we would beg to point out to those who may argue the question in the House of Com mons, that one or two of the arguments urged against the Bill are strongly in its favour. For instance, Lord WHARNCLIFFE says that he objects to speedy justice because delay has a beneficial tendency, as tending to the composition of suits. Of course the same argument would apply to not giving judgment in the most simple case for ten years, because it would indubitably lead to the composition of all suits, that is, to an injured party putting up with a wrong, or giving up some of his rights. Now we apprehend that the object of law is to afford the injured redress for every possible injury; and the more compositions there are the stronger is the proof that the law is defective, that it does not protect the wrong suf ferer, but tile wrong doer. Lord LYNDHURST, who, as having been CHANCELLOR, ought to have known better, observed in somewhat the same spirit, that "it bad been said that it was monstrous that a poor man should be driven into an expensive court for the recovery of a small sum ; but, taking a❑ enlarged and philosophical view of the subject, it was evident that one great object of the law was, to prevent litigation, that the law should he so certain and precise that men knew their rights, or it was needless for thera to resort to a court of justice. A man who conceived himself aggrieved went to his counsel, was satisfied with the opinion given, and did not resort to a court of justice but in rare in stances. Since he (Lord L ) bad Ist spoken, a fact had been mentioned by Mr. PARK, the Professor of the Lon• don University, which was of' great importance on this point; he bad said, in one of his lectures, that Mr. PRESTON had answered more than 40,000 cases during his life, and that not more than one in thirty had been made the subject of future litigation." One or two Lords had minds so peculiarly constructed, as to cheer this. The object of law, Lord LYNDHURST Says, is to prevent litigation, therefore make it expensive. Now, we rather imagine that the object is to encourage litigation in its best sense. There is no litigation, where there is no law, but in such countries men are savages. There are other countries where there are such laws as Lord LYNDHURST would seem to patronise, viz., which are so partial in their operation, and oppressive in their working, that no man thinks of appealing to them. In Naples, f r instance, there is no litigation, because each man carries a dagger. Now, the object of law being, as we say , t o encourage li t i gat i on , that is, to induce men to appeal to fixed rules instead of to a dagger, we conceive that the cheaper the appeal to these fixed rules is made the better. So much fur Lord LYND HURST'S enlarged view of the advantages of dear law. There are other passages in his speech equally distinguished for blundering ignorance and ludicrous absurdity ; but we have not space "thrice to slay the slain." We look im patiently to the result of Mr. O'CoNNELL's motion of to-morrow. The Polish question was brought forward last night in the House of Commune, by Mr. C. FERGUSSON, in a speech whose temper, address, and eloquence, won for it the admiration of all parties. The Hon. Member dwelt at considerable length on the atrocious barbarities of the monster NICHOLAS, towards the Polish children, several hundreds of whom he ordered to be forcibly torn from their parents' arms, andhurried away in waggons to Russia. 0; course the major portion of these unoffending infants pe rished by the way-side ; and a stranger to the country might track his way from Warsaw to the Russian frontiers by the piles of little corpses that thickly bestrewed the road. Did Lord PALMERSTON attempt to deny this, and similar• sta.ements ? Not he ! He knew it was impossible. "He was not prepared," he said, to deny the accuracy of the assertions made by his Hon. Friend, but hoped that the picture drawn of them was rather overcharged." Mr. STANLEY, though he equally deprecated the conduct of Russia—for, indeed, the temper of the Hnlase was such, that we much question whether he would have been li.. tened to, had he ventured to soil on a different tack—Mr. STANLEY, though equally severe on the conduct of the Russian Cabinet towards the Poles, yet expressed himself averse to the question, because it must ne cessarily involve this country in a war with Russia. We do net at all hold with this alternative. It is about the very last we should anticipate, for the Power that was all but trampled under foot the other day by a handful of Poles—that could make no he id against the crippled and disorganized forces of Turkey in less than two campaigns —would scarcely presume for an instant to declare war against united England, backed by equally united France. However, the question is disposed of for the present, so all further discussion is superflu ous : but it must carry consolation to the hearts of the brave Poles—and Gon knows these noble-minded patriots need some little consolation to sweeten their over flowing cup of bitterness !—to know that on the question of the atrocious conduct of Russia there was but one opinion throughout the House. Parties differed only on the question of "expediency"—a convenient phrase, which means something or nothing, just as suits the interests of the statesmen who take shelter behind it. We cannot approve the temper of Mr. STANLEY'S speech. It was petulant, haughty, and contumelious. The sneer, " chivalrous principle of humanity," as applied to the just and natural sympathies of the English people towards the Poles, comes with au ill—a very ill—grace from an un compromising adherent of that party (the Whigs, to wit) who have been bawling and shouting for the last thirty years in favour of this very " chivalrous principle of hu manity." But •the Whigs were out then ; they are in now—which makes a vast difference. The speeches of Sir R. PEEL and Sir R. Nous did credit to their heart and head. It has been stated by one of our contemporaries that the movement of the Portuguese Constitutionalists in the Algarve@ was part of a concerted plan with our Govern. ment, by whis!, would be enabled to recognise the Portuguese Regen, r. We can take upon ourselves to declare that this atateuient is without foundation. It is not improbable, however, that the success of the Consti tutionalists may hasten so desirable a step as the recogni tion of Donna MARIA as Queen de facto of Portugal, as well as Queen de jure, although nothing has yet been resolved upon by our Cabinet.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. It will be seen by the debate in the House of Lords last night, that on the motion made by the Lord Chancellor, for consider. ing the third reading of the Local Courts Bill, Lord Wham. cliffe led the attack, and moved an amendment, that the Bill be read that day six months; in consequence of which two divisions took place : in the first there was a majority against Ministers of 12; and on the second division a majority against them of 5. _ _ _ This has had some effect on the Funds. Consols, which left off yesterday at 90 IA % for the account, opened at 89 % to 90, since which a re.action has taken place, and they may be at present quoted 90%. It is expected t hat in the House of Commons a strong opposition will be made to the decision of the Lords by a large majority. As yet we have no further information from Portugal. In the Foreign Market little doing, and the prices much the the same as yesterday HALF-PAST ONE. The general topic of conversation among the Citizens relates to the minority of Ministers in the Lords last night, as well as the information from Portugal, on which there are various opi. nions. Prince Esterhazy has arrived, as well as the Dutch Ambas sadors. It is now e . eted that the final settlement of the af fairs of Holland will nbe brought to a conclusion. Consols are at p, ,ent 90 IA for the Account, with little doing. It is stated that Government have received further despatches from Portugal this morning. In the Foreign Market most of the Securities maintain yes terday's prices.

Mr. Harrison appeared at the Bar as Counsel for the several witnesses were examined. The evidence has alrer been before the public. After which the Bill was reported out amendment. Sir FRANCIS VINCENT presented a petition from a MO of highly respectable attorneys, complaining of the regulation S which students were entered, and subsequently called to the I ) The petitioner prayed th at a Committee Might be appointed inquire into the practice in operation of calling menthes to„ bar, and that their p e titi on m i ght be referred to that 1,1'4 mittee. The Hon. Member said that he had given notice of. intention to move for a Sel ec t C ommittee on this subject, bu t PI on the day on which his m o ti on was to have been brough t he was prevented by the H ouse b eing counted out; and . now, seeing the impossibility of having justice done to_;:i subject in the present session, it was his intention to po..it i his motion to the ensuing one, when he hoped it would rec.) the attention to which it was cert a i n l y entitled. —(Hear, nen With regard to that part of the petition which affected the tioners more particularly, he must say that greater bards could not press upon any body of men. It was too much t , because attorneys were considered to fill a lower grade in profession, they should be obliged to g i ve up, perhaps, a lucre , ' profession u p on th e mere c h ance of b eing called 'to the Mr. PHILLPOTTS said be had been requested to support prayer of the petition. It was most essential that there sh , be an inqui r y, no t on l y f or t h e character of an individUs , Member of that House, but for that of the House itself. I ) Colonel EVANS, in supporting the petition, observed.,t considering the prominent li ne i n po li t i ca l li fe which the mil Member for Colchester had taken, it was equally as essential,:,: the character of th e b enc h ers as th e H on. Member himself, the documents on both sides should be laid before the House , order to prevent the possibility of any garbled statement. Mr. SHEI L thought it extremely anomalous that a gentlel. who had been a M em b ero f th a t H ouse f or fourteen years, shew, be considered by th e b enc h ers o f any i nns o f court to be incaPs ' of holding a place at the bar. Mr. LLOYD should support the petition. Mr. D. W. HARVEY felt called upon to say, with refer" to the motion of the Hon. Member for Oxford, that It was ti t brought forward at hi s (M r . H arvey ' s ) i nstance, as he k n i nothing of it till he came down to the House on Monday. ;' d the Noble Lord th e Ch ance ll or of the Exchequer was in ", place, he trusted he would allow him to draw his attention the motion of th e H on. M em b er for Oxford, and the artier, ment proposed by the Hon. Baronet. The object of the root! of the Hon. Member for Oxford was the production of OS ments on one side of the question only, that of the amender', of the Hon. Baronet was f or t h e production of the documents; both sides. He trusted that the subject would go before Committee unincumbered with any considerations of a persee", nature, and would be vie w ed i n th e li g h t of a question of gry public importance. An Hox. MEMBER (name unknown) hoped that a Select CO mittee would be appointed to examine into the whole systenl The petition was then ordered to lie on the table. Mr. HA LFORD presented a petition from the frame-v/1 knitters of Leicester, complaining of distress in their trade, ivO: they attr;buted to the extensive manufacture of a spurious art , called " cut hose." Lord A LTHZRP said a Bill had been introduced to pre° the manufacture of cut hose ten or el even y ears ago, but it thrown out in the House of Lords. He thought that if cut p: were so inferior to hose made by fram es , th e pu bli c would sc find it out.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. GROTE presented a petition from certain merchautSi the city of London interested in the Alediterrane In trade, Co:, plaining of the excessive duty on currants imported from lonian Islands. Mr. EWA RT supported the petition. Lord ALTHORP felt great diffi cu lt y as to what he sho al do. When he took off half the duty on soap, he was told tP, he ought to have taken off the amount from th e h ouse tart stead, and if he were to promise to reduce the duty on mirror , : he should probably find a competition in regard to other tan In looking at taxation, reference ought to be had to the artier A that could best bear it, and he thought that currants, wb were in some respects an article of luxury, were a fair subject taxation. After observaqons from Mr. ROBINSON and other Members, the petition was laid upon the table. Mr. FERGUS O'CONNOR presented a petition from cell merchants of Dubli n , i n f avour o f the Ship Canal. He s,, presented a petition from a gentleman of Mackren, complain' of delays and impediments in the way of justice, in conseque o of the absence of Magistrates. He had petitions in favour of the' peal of the U n i on , an d h e wou ld , b e f ore presenting them, c b , i lenge the Right Hon. G en tl eman o p pos it e (M r. S . Ri ce) to him shoulder to shoulder, upon the prosperity of Ireland and!, necessity of a repeal of the Union, which h a d d one no goo d, Y much harm to that country. The Hon. Gentleman then P r sented his petitions, which were from New Ross, Killarney, Dublin. Mr. LITTLETON said, as to the observations of the 1 -1 ,! Gentleman with regard t o th e repea l o f t h e U n i on, h e h a d a very few words to say in reply. That was a proposition utterly devoid of common sense, that it was scarcely nee sary for him to say, that when it was brought tbrwardi would be met with the most strenuous exertions to feat it. He need scarcely use such strong language, the proposition was so extremely absurd—so opposed to the fn ings of both Englishmen and Irishmen, that any strenuous! ertion would be totally unnecessary, in order to ensure it a" naland triumphant defeat. Tr. FINN supported the petition. The Reform House. Commons had given Ireland, on the Disturbances Supprel Bill, a pretty sample of synapati y for Ireland. The Goys, ments of this;country h a d, f or t h e last six hundred years, UP pled on the Irish liberties and rights. Mr. SINCLAIR would put down a cry for the repeal of,t i Union, as an attempt to effect a dismemberment of the env , ' Mr. SHEIL supported the prayer of the petition, and ai l from a variety of considerations the absolute necessity of s peal of the Legislative Union. Sir F. BURbETT denied altogether the want of syroPa l i with the wrongs of Ireland, which had been charged on Scotch and English Members.
