:•--'''' ' t ch the . racter, EVEN IN G EDITION. WILSON, MAYOR. ACOMMON COUNCIL, holden in the Chamber of the Guildhall of the City of London, on Tnuasnav the 7th day of March, 1839, Resolved unanimously, i That this Court, a s the Representatives of the Citizcns at Tg e, having the Guardianship of their ancient, invaluable, and ch arteredright s and privileges, and which they have severally sworn to maintain, feel it is their laz.unden duty to resist, by every legal means in their power, the Bill for extending the r o wers of th e M e t ropo li tan P o li ce i n t o thi s City, s uch Bill Bing a usurpation of and an encroachment upon their ancient rights and privileges, without any reasonable cause or any ad vantage to the public. That many of the provisions of the proposed Bill are in direct violation of the chartered rights and privileges of this City, and calculated to destroy the independence of its Magistracy, who are elected by the Citizens at large. That, from the peculiar localities, and the value and extent of the merchandise, of the City of London, no instance can pre sent itself in which the systelp of Local Government andsuper intendence, so strongly and unremittingly urged by her Ma jesty's pr esent advisers, in the formation of the Police o f t h e Corporations of the Country, can, with such force or propriety apply, as to the City of London, the efficiency of whose Police arrangements are manifest from the protection hitherto afforded to the property and persons within its jurisdiction. That, in d ependently of the obligations of this Court to main tain inviolate the great and important privileges of the citizens of London, it cannot view b u t with feelings of alarm and ap prehencion the introduction of a measure infinitely more dan gerous to the liberties of the country than the unconstitutional influence which the Act for the Reform of the Representation of the People in P ar li amen t was i n t en d e d t o destroy, and cal culated to become, in the hands of an arbitrary Government, the means and instrument of the most grievous and oppressive tyra nny. Court it i s a matter of deep regret an d di sappo i ntment to t hi s that her Majesty's Ministers (professing to respect the principles of popular representation as opposed to arbitrary and ''re , pon s ibl e power), who have earned the respect and received the invariable support of this Court in their successful endea- Yours to restore to the people their rightful share in the repre sentation of the ceuntry, should be parties to an attempt to wrest from the hen& of the citizens of London, and place under the control of the Crown, their ancient, unabused, and ;?rig -respected right of protecting their own property, their liberties, and their lives. That the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, the Aldermen present this day—viz., Sir Matthew Wood, Bart., Wm. Vena- F es t Esq., M. T. Lucas, Esq., Sir Peter Laurie, Knt., Charles h arebrothe r Esq., W.

That the Representatives for this City in Parliament, and such M embers of this Court as have seats in Parliament, be quested to attend such conference. yhat Mr. Remenabrancer do immediately apply to his Lord ship, for such conference. chat thi s C ourt most earnestly request the Representatives for this City in Parliament, and such Members of this Court as 1_ in every h ave Ye seat s i n P arliament, most strenuously to oppose the said stage in the House of Commons. That it be referred to the Committee to prepare the draft of a Petition to the Honourable House of Commons against the said Hill, and to report the same to this Court.

SIGHT AND HEARING. THE INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR, effected by the Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS,Opticians and Aurists to the Royal Family 39, Albe marle-street, Piccadilly, by which thousands of deaf persons have been greatly benefited, is the size of a seven-shilling piece, and when fixed into the cavity of the ear is soft arid easy, and not more percep Lille than having a piece of wool in its place, by w hi c h the faintest w whisper at a public assembly is heard with distinctness. And defec tive VISION is brought to nature by the use of newly-in ven t e d SPECTACLE LENSES : immediately they are placed before oak and imperfect eyesight, either by day or candle light, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most minute particle is seen with great distinctness, by the use of which both the sight and hearing become much improved. The Messrs. SOLOMONS DISCLAIM all connection with persons of the SA ME NAME,and the sale of Amber Spectacles: in d o i ng so they state the HISTORY of AMBER, from the Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure, M.D., F.R.S., &c. &c. Amber is an indurated vegetable ju ce, and not produced by the laws of crystallization, but by the same causes which influence the mechanical condition of gum. Insects are often found embedded in it. Amber is most powerfully electrical by friction—very hot, to such an extent as to explode into fragments : the workmen, too, are subject to nervous tremours in their wrists, arms, &c. ; they en counter great danger by handling such dreadful excited electrics; Amber grows, with lime, and is apt to take tire, and is of such a soft nature when exposed to warmth that it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with flame." The above Dr. Ure's statements are further confirmed by Sir 1). BREWSTER and Pliny, as also by I'arkes and Herns, Chemists. i he destructive effals of such a material for Spectacles, to imperfect vision, are fully and most satisfactorily explained in Messrs.

We have here an o'er true picture of the doings and say ings of thedenizens of the West end of the Town—indeed, we recognize the portraits of many of our fashionables, as being extremely well drawn. There is no mistaking Viscount Vaux hall, Lord Vanelay, the Honourable Colonel L. Hopetoun, or Lord Walgrave; the originals may be seen any day ' in the West.' We also could point out the true Mrs. Maxwell. But to pass by these sketches of living characters, the others are most ably drawn. Robinson, the rascally lawyer; Jeffries, his knowing clerk; and Hopwood, the tuft-hunting retired goldsmith, are admirable. Horace Vernon himself is delineated with considerable skill, and the various fearful scenes to which his headstrong passions lead him, are most powerfully written. The story altogether is good, and the lessons inculcated are evolved with an ability which has known how to clothe them with great interest."—Age.

The Lora) CHANcEmAut took his scat on the Woolsa at Five o'Clock. On the motion of the Bishop of LONDON, the (as sve understood) Ecclesiastical Pluralities Restriction Bill was road a third time and passed. The Bishop of LONDON presented petitions from Colchester, and other places against cny further grant to tie College of Maynooth. Lord KENYON presented a petition from Bridport, for the Repeal of the Corn-laws. The Marquis of BUTE presented petitions from Kil bride, Callander, Thorne, in the county of Ayr, Auchin leek, Eaglesham, Rosslyn, and several other places, in favour of Church Extension in Scotland. Mr. BERNAL and others brought up from the House of Commons the Transfer of Aids Bill. STATE OF IRELAND. Lord RODEN gave notice that on the 21st of this month he should submit emotion to the House on the state of Ireland. It would have suited his convenience to hare named an earlier day, but he was desirous of consulting the convenience cf some Noble Friends now discharging their duties in Ireland, and who he had been informed could not well be here before the 21st. CANADA. Lord E LLENBO !MUG H said the Noble Marquis opposite had atated, the other night, he had no other p ipers to present. from Canada. He wished to call the intention of the Noble Marquis to certain other paper, that it would be convenient to have on the table. Upon looking at the papers now before the House, he ob served that the Governor-General had informed the inhabitants of Toronto, about the 29th of October, that he had issued orders and obtained reports, upon the Crown lands, upon emigration, upon muni cipal institutions, and upon education---:and the returns relating to the two latter had not been produced. —( Hear, hear.) In the proclamation, also, of the Noble Earl he had adverted to proceedings respect ing the administration of justice, and for the- endow ment of certain property respecting which no papers had been returned ; and he wished to ask the Noble Marquis whether he had received any materials which had been prepared for future legislation on those most important sub jects, and which would no doubt constitute matter of consi derable importance for consideration, when the Bill relat ing to Canada should come before the House. One of those was by far the most important or the others—viz the one relating to legi s lation for giving to Lower Canada a pure and competent administration of justice. The Marquis of NORM ANBY said that what he stated the other night was that he had presented to the House all • i the papers then in his possession ; and that it was not the intention of her Majesty's Government to delay legisla tion for the production of further papers. He now un derstood that he was asked whether he was in possession at this moment of any Reports on the subject of education or municipal institutions, and in reply to which he could only say that he was not. He understood his Noble Friend (Lord Durham) wished to give further explanation on this subject. lie also understood that there were two Reports on the administration of justice in England, one a preliminary report prepared in Canada, and the other a more extended report. There were also two other reports, which would be laid on the table—one connected with the state of the Clergy and one upon the subject of education. Whenever those were transmitted to him he should be ready to answer any ques tions. He had not any official knowledge of those reports, but he believed they were either prepared, or partly pre pared. As, however, they had not been submitted to any special council, they were at present private property?' Lord EL LENBOROUG H said that it appeared there had been correspondence on the subject of the establish ment of some permanent Court for trying criminal offenees in Canada, but it appeared by a letter of Sir J. Colborne, of Oct. 19, they had not been able to institute such a tribunal, and had therefore resorted to Courts-mar tial. He wished to know whether, upon the receipt of that letter of • Sir John Colborne's, any instructions had been given for the immediate establishment of such a Court. The Marquis of NORM ANBY said it was true thet a great deal of correspondence had passed on thet sub ject last year, but previous to any thing being able to be done the insurrection had broken out in Canada, upon which emergency Sir John Colborne had established courts-martial, and his Noble Friend ( Lord Glenclg) then in the Colonial-office, had confirmed the Ordinance by which those Courts were established, and it had not been thought right to alter them since. The Earl of DURHAM said that with regard to the addi tional Reports, some of them had not arrived in this country. He had during the time that he had held the office of Go vernor-General of Canada, requested the 'Bishop of Montreal to draw u 42 _l)._r_tputt.-.... - oirs.c4oretr--esumitaitent ; tnat report had been re cently received.—(llear. ) With respect to the Report on Education, that had not arrived from Canada ; but he expected it shortly. With reference to the Legislative measures which he had intended to propose, he had in his possession the draft of a Bill on a most important sub ject, he meant the General Registry; it had been his intention, had he remained at the bead of the Go vernment, to have submitted that measure to the Ge- Loral Council ; of course, in consequence of his retire ment, he had not been able to do so, hut the Bill which was in a perfect state, was in his pos s ession. Witt, regard to another important measure which he had intended bringing forward had he remained in Canada, he meant the commutation of feudal tenures in the Island of Montreal he could state that it had been met in a most amicable spirit by the Superior; of the Convent who possessed a considerable part of those tenures; and he had reason to believe that that matter would shortly ba adjusted. With regard to the Jury Laws they had also been in process of revision. All the materials and rep )rts in his possession should be at the service of her Majesty's Government. In the event of his receiving information from Canada be should think it his duty to lay it before her Ma jesty's Government. He thought that the reports alluded to might be produced in three or four days. His Lordship then presented t .. t itions from the western district of Stir lingskire agai;' , i/py additional endowment to the Church of Scotland. PUBLICATIONS. Now ready, price Is.

CORN• LAWS. Lord RADNOR said he had received a letter from a Noble Friend of his a few days since relative to the motion of which he had given notice on the subject of the Corn laws, desiring him to fix Tuesday in the Passion Week for the discussion of the subject, but understanding that that day would be inconvenient, his Noble Friend bad written to him this day to state that he would bring forward the question on the 14th ; they originally fixed the 21st or the 26th, as the 21st was pre-occupied, and the 26th would be inconvenient, it had better stand at present for the 14th, and in case anything should occur to make it incon venient on that day, it could be postponed for aday or tno. With respect to the terms of the motion, he thought he should be in possession of them on Monday. Lord BROUGHAM presented petitions against the Beer Bill from Slough, and from some other places. Also a petition from the Provost, Magistrates, and Town Council of the city of Edinburgh, praying for a R e p ea l o f t h e Corn laws. He believed this petition ,represented very strongly the feelings of the whole city on the subject. Also a petition from Welchpool, praying f or a repea l o f t h e Corn laws; also from Hamilton, praying f or a repeal of the Corn-laws ; also a petition from so me p l ace i n S cot l an d, against any additional Church Extension. BANKRUPTCY COURT. . Lord B ROUGH A M moved for a return from the Court of Bankruptcy of an account of all sums received on account of Commissions of Bankruptcy which had been issued pre viously to the Ist January,lB3B, di st i ngu i s hi ng the diff-rent Commissions; the Commissioners had not only works d the Commissions which had been issued since their appointment, but had applied themselves to the collection of assets under old Commissions, some of which had been issued 30 years back, and had paid a dividend of ss. or 6s. in the pound. The assets of those had now been collected by the Commission ers, and by that useful officer the official assignee, and 14s. and 155., and in some instances 20s. in the pound had been paid. They bad taken large sums belonging to creditors out of the hands of respectable members of the law and of equally respectable and worthy bankers, where he sup posed it must have been I)ing idle, from the proverbial carelessness of creditors and the equally proverbial care lessness of assigoees. He wished for an account of those sums, and did not think that it would be less than seven figures. The LORD CHANCELLOR bore testimony to the efficiency of the measure of the Noble and Learned Lord, and should be always glad to co-operate with him in carry ing it into effect. Lord BROUGHAM would be happy to co-operate with the Noble and Learned Lord at six o'clock to-morrow morning if he liked.—( Laughter.) Lord H ADDINGTON presented a petition from Annan ( Scotland), praying for Church Extension. INSULT TO THE BRITISH FLAG. ' Lord LYNDHURST rose to solicit the attention of the Noble Lord at the head of the Admiralty to what had passed yesterday. He trusted their Lordships would not consider him too persevering if he again called the attention of the Noble Earl to the insult which had been offered to the British flag in the Gulph of Mexico. lie was induced to pursue this course at the present moment because he understood that the commander of the Creole had been for some days past in Paris, and therefore an opportunity had been afforded him of offering a satisfac tory explanation on the subject. Another reason for his pursuing this course was the extraordinary statements and observations which had been made by the French papers on this subject, and further because in consequence of the arrival of Lieutenant Croke in this country, the Noble Lord at the head of the Admiralty had had ample op portunity afforded him of obtaining information on th►s subject, and it was of the ut most importance to the honour of this country that every particular should be investigated. could assure the Noble Earl that this transaction had ereatei A degree of indignation throughout the Navy and throughout the country—this was the first instance of an insult of this description offered to a vessel forming part of the Navy of Great Britain.—( Hear, hear. ) It was a vessel commanded by an officer bearing her Ma jesty's Commission, weariing the n ►vat uniform of their country, and the vessel bore the English peenant. She was brought-to by a shot from a foreign ship of war. She was boarded, and her pilot was forcibly taken out of her. The vessel was in danger _there were many passengers on board who were placed in a state of peril by that atrocious act. The pilot was forced from on board a British vessel and compelled to officiate in leading aggressive vessels against lilt own country. lie had gone on board the Ex press, trusting that as in olden times under the British flag he would find protection. A more grave and serious out rage never was committed to this country. An ex. planation, it was said, had been given. What was that explanation ?—( Hear, hear.) The outrage was attributed, or attempted to be attributed to a mistake on the part of the young officer commanding the Creole. The French Press, however, ascribed it to the impetuosity —to the daring of that young officer. He hoped that we had not, in consequence of the miserable misrule under which we bad lived for some time, yet come to suffer the British flag to be insulted by the impetuosity of any one with impunity. But from his information this was not the true state of the case. From his information he believed that it was not the daring act of the young officer, but of the Admiral of the French fleet.—( Hear, hear.) When the English ship passed the corvette friendly salutes were interchanged between them, soon after signals were ob served passing between the French Admiral's ship and the corvette, and then it was for the first time that this act of impetuosity was conceived--( Hear, hear) not until after those signals had been exchanged. If these facts were true, then it was under the authority of the Admiral that this outrage had been committed. But even if they were not true, the Admiral was present—he must have heard the shot which was fired. Did he return the pilot ? He had adopted the transaction by taking the forced services of the pilot, and therefore be was respon sible for it. It was said that an apology had been made. To whom was that apology made ? To the captain of the Express? He remained on the station for some time —was any apology offered to him, or was the pilot re turned to him ? Nothing of the kind. It was not until after the interval of more than a mouth—net until the arrival of Commodore Douglas at the head of a squadron was it thought necessary to offer any apology for the in sult. The French Admiral commit'ed the insult—be had derived all the advantage from its commission—he had made use of the pilot who was forcibly taken from under the protection of the British flag. Were we then to be satisfied with a few words verbally delivered by Admiral Beudin ? The Noble Earl ( Minto) had stated the other night that be did not know whether the apology was in writing or not No one who had read the letter of Com modore Douglas could for a moment doubt that the apology was verbal. Upon such an occasion had it been in writing he would have stated so—he would have trans mitted the letter.—( Cries of " Hear, hear.") It was quite clear that the apology was not in writing. But was a verbal apology from the French Admiral to Commodore Douglas sufficient to satisfy the honour of this country.—( Hear, hear.) The French Government was responsible for the outrage. It was stated that Lord Palmeston bad made representations upon the subject to the French Government. He (Lord L.) entertained too high an opinion of the Nobleman at the head of the French Government, Count Mole—ho had too high an opinion, if he might venture to allude to a higher authority— he had too high an opinion of the justice of the " Loyaute" (he believed that was a proper French term for the occa sion) of that high individual, to suppose that if any proper representation hid been made a satisfactory explanation would not have been immediately offered. The whole of this unhappy affair was to be ascribed to the neglect of the advice given by the Noble Duke last Session of Par liament. The Noble Duke then complained that we had not even a cock-boat in the Gulf of Mexico. He (Lord L.) would undertake to say that if there had been a squadron even of the smallest force, the French Admiral would never have ventured to have committed such a serious outrage upon our flag. He begged their Lordships' pardon for 'troubling them on the occasion ; but he would have been 'ashamed to have met an Englishman face to face in the streets of Paris. had he not brought the question tinder the notice of the House. He begged leave to ask the Noble Earl whether he would have any objection to produce the log of Lieutenant Croke, and whether any satisfactory apology had been made by the Government of France to this country? Earl M INTO could not help wishing that the Noble and Learned Lord had postponed his question, and more especially the statements and arguments accompanying it for a short time, because he thought it most probable that be would then have been in possession of information, which would have enabled him to give a much more satis factory answer to the question. He believed that he stated I before, that it eas perfectly true that a pilot had been taken by force from one of her Majesty's ships. He had stated that that was, upon the face of it, an offence for which it was necessary that explanation should be given. He was not in possession of the particulars of the case, except the mere fact of the pilot having been taken out of the vessel. That had been reported by the com mander of the Express. It was not reported in the first instance directly to the Admiralty, but to the Consul at Vera Cruz. He (Lord Minto) had not received any re port from the officer on the spot. No account had reached the Government from that officer, but a confused account bad reached them *he eaeaeaneee sho '( Lord` Minto) hart — artra — lT 'Lieutenant Croke, desiring to be furnished with a distinct account of what h d taken place, and also an account of the course pursued by the French officer. That informa tion bad not reached the Government, but it must be re ceived in the course of a few days. Lord LYND H URsT—Have you not got the log ? Lord NIINTO—Had not seen -the log, but he had seen the journal which stated the circumstance briefly. He bad, therefore, information from which he could state that it was true the pilot had }Kea taken out of the vessel in the manner described by the Noble Lord, but he was not in possession of all the circumstances which led to that pro ceeding. He had a letter from Commodore Douglas, not describing the circumstances at all, but stating that he bad received a satisfactory explanation, that the whole had taken place in consequence of a mistake of his Royal Highness the Prince de Joinville and Admiral Baudin. Now, from what be knew of Commodore Douglas, lie was quite satisfied that unless he had been convinced 1 that what had taken place was unintentional, he would not have been satisfied with any explanation. The insult was more in the intention than in the real act committed : and if, when the proper information reached the Government, it should turn out that that insult had been offered unin tentionally, the case would be looked at in a very different light to that in which the Noble Lord wished it to be re presented. A communication bad been made to the Go vernment of France, stating exactly the circumstances that had been supposed to have taken place ; and Count Mole, in answer to that communication, had stated his regret that he had no knowledge of the circumstances except through the Newspapers. Since that communication how ever, Prince dc Joinville might have arrived in France and Count Mole might be in possession of the letters and ex planations of Admiral Baudin. It would in his (Lord Minto's) opinion be extremely desirable that nothing should have been said on the subject, until they had heard what the explanation of Admiral Baudin was, as probably that explanation would be satisfactory to all parties. lie knew nothing whatever of the subject officially, beyond what he had stated, but in common with many, various - versions of the story had reached him, and he believed it to be true, though perhaps he ought not to state it, as he did not know it fur a fact, that the explanation to be given by the officers on board the cor vette was likely to be, that there were five or six vessels coming out of Vera Cruz, breaking the blockade, when a signal was made by the Admiral to take the pilots out of those vessels, and, among others, the Express was applied to for her pilot. But suppose that signal was made, and those orders given in entire ignorance that this was an English packet, and that the Admiral had expressed to Commodore Douglas his regret, and satisfied him that no offence was intended, he should have thought that, under these circumstances, it was unnecessary to proceed further. But a representation had been made to the Government of France, and surely it was but decent to wait till that Government was in possession of the neces sary information, on the subject, before motives or designs wore imputed to Admiral Baudin or to the French Govern ment which might have no foundatiou. At this moment we were wit in possession of any authentic information of what passed between the Admiral and Commodore Douglas, and he (Lord M.) did not think we were in a situation to press the French Government for an explanation, not hav ing received the Commodore's despatches. At the same time he did not think that the French Government were likely to put us to that necessity, because if it turned out from the statement of the officers of the corvette, or from others, that any insult had been off-red to the British flag, it was more than probable that the French Government would—as he (Lord M ) should advise this Government to do it if we were so situated—take the earliest opportu nity of expressing regret at the circumstance. Indepen dently of that he thought it extremely improbable that Admiral Baudin should have meditated any offence, from the whole of his conduct while he lay opposite Vera Cruz, Upon this he thought it right to read to the House an extract from a letter received from Captain Henderson, of the Edinburgh, dated the 29th of I), cernber, 1838 The Edinburgh, on going to take up her position, was unhappy enough to catch the ground, but she was got off without much difficulty, though placed in a situation of some little danger, upon which a French steamer that happened to be there took her in tow and assisted her to her berth : —"The Ft cnch steamer, which had her steam up before, took us in tow to our berth. Nothing could exceed the attention of the French Admiral, who placed boats as buoye, and hail a man-of-war lying in mid channel to direct the ships. I have riCt failed to ex press my gratitude for the assistance lie rendered us. Now that was not like the ccuduct of an officer who was likely to offer an insult. He would assure the Noble Lord opposite that tie man was snore jealous of an insult to the British flag than himself. nor would nay one go further than himself to exact a full and ample apology, but still he shou:d not go out of his way to pick a quarrel.

He (Lord Brougham) was also one of the last men who would wish to cause or to see our pacific relations with the Govern ment of France nterrupted. However, the subject hid been broached, and it would not tend to avoid that, or to get over the difficulty, to attempt to bush it up, or to pass the affair over without some explanation. He did not think that a very brilliant exposition had been given by the Noble Earl who had just sat down, but this he should wish to know, bow long it was since Lieutenant Croke had arrived in this country? If he had been here only a few dvys, and was in a distant part of the country, that might have occasioned some delay. Lord MINTO—He has been here for more than a month. Lord BROUGHAM then said that was very odd, and was very much calculated to make him Ohl that a suf£i c•ient explanation was not likely to be given.—( H..r, hear.) He did not think that peace was likely to be prc d by the doctrine of his Noble Friend.—( Hear, hear.) When an outrage was committed the uffenee arising Jr:An !hat !Ass not to depend upon the intention.—( Hear, hear. ) He understood this was a very small vessel—a mere cutter, or packet, or 10-gun brig. Lord HARDWICKE—Four guns. Lord BROUGHAM—Four guns; and therefore there was no dishonour in her yielding to the superior fo,ce CI t was opposed to her. But he must say, that if one man in. stilted another, and then said it was not his intention to in- suit, that would he a very unsatisfactorjgapology, unless indeed it happened to be an act of an equivocal na. ture—(Hear, hear)—and when everything depended oi the intention. lie was sorry also to say that he did not, observe anything satisfactory in the statement of the Noble Earl, that upon another occasion, and in ptrfectly different circumstances, when one of our ships was in dis tress, a French steam-boat assisted her. No doubt, tH• boat would have helped any ship in such circumstai.c , , , ::. even if that ship had insulted it the day b,fore.—( Cheer, ) The mere - act of assisting a ship which was in ddliculty, d not appear to him to be of great importance.—( hear.) He had no manner of doubt, and he agreed xi, his Noole Friend here, that if a proper representation had been made to the Court of the Tuileries, from all he knew of Count Mole, and above all from the high character rrf Louis Philippe, he had - no doubt whatever, that as that Royal Prince would be the last to suffer any insult to be offcred to his own flag, he would be the last to allow an insult to be offered to another. lie was quite sure that that Royal Prince from his strict and high' sense of honour awl justice, would be the first to give ample reparation for any injury that might be sustained. 'Lord MELVILLE could not help regretting, fJr the honour of the flag, that this humiliating transaction had been allowed to remain in the state in which it had, for so long a period, but he rejoiced to think, from the Noble Earl's statement, th,t in the course of a few days now, we might expect some satisfaction. Concurring with the two Noble and Learned Lords who had already spoken ns to the certainty that the French Government would not be disposed to uphold any improper interference on the part of an officer of theirs, but, on the contrary, be ready to make every reasonable apology, he still thought, that ia ord e r to obtain that, it would have been better if we had proceeded earlier.—( Hear, hear.) The packet had ar rived in thi‘ country about a month ago. The Lieutenant must have kept a journal, and in the course of forty-eight, hours that journal must have been received at the',kd: niiralty. The moment it was seen that such a transaction had taken place, if it had been obscurely detailed in that journal it was the duty of the Admiralty, without delay, to have called upon the commander of the vessel for a fuller account, and which account would have been given. So far from that having been the case, he untler..tood that that explanation from the Lieutenant was not required until within the last few days. _ Lord NIIN TO sa'd, that on referring to the journal, L 2 he had sail, it was very concise; but he had stated also that the journal referred to a letter addressed from Vera Cruz, which letter was about the same day - transmitted to the Admiralty, at.d which was the foundation of the application to her Maj,sty's Government desiring that some steps should be taken on the sulject. But what he was anxious to have under.nood was, that he had been in possession, rfOril the first mometlt, of the fact that a pilot was taken out of the packet, and of the manner in which he was taken, but that he had learnt, at the same time, from Commodore Dou glas that an apology had been rna.de by the Admiral. lie had desired Lieut. Croke to give a more full and detailed account of all his own conduct. Lord MELVILLE said that all the information that could be obtained from .Licut. Croke, might and c.aight to have been obtained from him within a day . or two after his arrival in this country. But they were told an appiicati:n to the French Government had been made, because Ad. mural Bacdiu was supposed to have made some apology t o Commodore Douglas, who arrived on the station s - -ire Hocks after the packet had left it.—( Hear, hear.) Th e packet was an independent vessel, pursuing its own course. under the 'alders of the Admiralty ; and it was the duty of the Foreign office to have made an immediate representa tion to the Government of the transaction, indtr,en dent of any apology, or supposed apology, On the part of the Admiral.—( Cheers.) It was impossible foreign man of-war should make at: attack . • man- ef.war, and take from on beard - - n N•L atttreueti an :lair was tuiparralleled. As to beit!, 4 a ' small vessel, he wanted to know what light the FreUeli man of-war had to take from on board of her a pilot ( Hear, bear.) If she was a MClTbßlitzurai, eac i 4. au seized the ship, that would have been intelligibl. at that they should attack the ship, take from on board ; L-cr a pilot, and allow her to go away, was conduct perfectly unheard of.—( Hear, hear.) He could not but think tha:, if the whole case bad been sifted to the bottom, as it should immediately have been, and that, too, totally inde pendent of any communication between the Admiral and the Commodore, with w hom we had nothing to do--(Hear) —and if a proper representation, made to the Government of France, a proper apology would. been of ered,and the British Parliament and the BritittiV e tbilliy would have been saved a great deal of crne u ts t , i e p n l at e as is i a ou n n. : e f .wn e 0 7,: v abs a e n p i ur ta bc a lci d esi v i: e : r dd - ; sion, and humiliation, which they Ought riot to h4,'ve been subjected to.—(Cheers.) He did hope that; in the course from m a f t 'o h t e v Fl e days, rch su G cl o l Government, would satisfy the country. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, that as the Noble Earl opposite had stated that there were crui,ers all the summer in the Gulf of Mexico, he wished to ask, whether there was in reality any assistance ready to be afforded by her Majesty's fleet to carry cff her Majesty's subjects, or their property, from Vera Cruz, at the period at which the attack was made upon San Juan de Ulloa by the Pretieb Squadron ? or at the subsequent period, when the attack was made by the same squadron on Vera Crtiz? Lord M INTO said there were letters at the AdMiralty from the officer in command before Vera Cruz at the period of the attack, which stated that he had given what assistance was tequired in removing British, French, and other subjects from Vera Cruz ; in short, all those who wished to be removed, and of whom a great number, in particular of French, were removed. He did not under stand there were a great many English who thought it necessary to call for assistance, but all who did received. it ; and at that time there was a sloop of war before the town, under the command of one of the most distinguished, - officers in the service. - The Duke of WELLINGTON said, that be had nt it asked the question which had been answered by the Noble Earl. The question he asked was, whether previous to I or during the attack by the French squadron upon an i Juan de Cilioa, or subsequently, and whether previous., or i during, or subsequent to the attack by the same squadron I upon Vera Cruz, her Majesty's fleet gave any assistatnee to i t her Majesty's subjects residing in Ve ra C ruz, to enable them to save themselves and their property front the 1 :i attack ? Lord MINTO certainly meant, by what he sa id, to-co vey to the Noble Duke the informatio n th at there Wasna very distinguished officer in command there, he meant Captain Rock, of the Satellite, both during the attack, subsequent to the attack, and previous to it. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE could add nothing to the most satisfactory answer which his Noble Friend had been enabled to give to the Noble Duke, by informing. 'aim of the assistance which the Noble Duke conceived (ought to have been rendered during the attack which bad ben alluded to, and which was rendered at time it was wanted, and in the manner thought satisfactory to all the English parties concerned • and from which, therefore, n o detriment could be alleged have taken place from any omission on the part of the Admiralty, or on the part of her Majesty's Government He could add nothing to that, because he thought the Noble Duke must feel the inquiry had been most distinctly met. But -he could not allow this conversation to pass, especially after the speech of the Noble Earl who immediately preceded the Noble Duke, and who bad presided for some time at the head of the Admiralty, without adverting to the general topic df tceeidiraracter and I t L h e is ,r c e o e n d ve F rs r a ie t n io d n iLe l r l d e B en re ti u r g el h y am agreedt, that rw iceith h o i u s g N h t o _lil Noble not and be satisfied with a mere belief of good intentionstiieut obtainingßritishthe Noble insult Learnedtheb Majesty's t could diffi culty was that from the time at i which l for her n.ch Majesty'; j o e v s e t r y n ' a . s titi s f a ti committedon, and .t.o iii e lLei v lo e arfir r y y doe , possible Lord opposite Lyndhurst) bad chosen to bring for inoebnttainwe'denthtahteexp explanation, because apprised, of the facts iGvaor‘d.ertitswqnurersotien, it was . not possible that eGeot %, ee:n. explanation cmn enit havebebeing 1 been g e e o ea u ep l d parei n su o ca t dhot h f a ft v ei e ire, b pw e a c irt n thii; o uu b lt t a a r i ' ts of the explanation required o_ e _ r what had taken pow. by their own °facers, to enable them to answer any app li_ i p a l: ri c et beingin South p r ti e n d e , ri a c s a l haenyd mustWithoutth F cation on the: part of her Majesty's Government.
