WIND E.S.E.—fine breeze and sunshiny weather. save a couple of clerks in each large town a few hours' labour, and a single post-master a few minutes'labour in the morning of Sunday, they have compelled the employment of hundreds of persons during the course of last Sunday, for the whole day long. The subject was again brought under the notice of the House of Lords last night, by Lord BROUGHAM, and the following narrative, which we give in the words of the Noble and Learned Lord, exemplifies what must henceforward be the state of affairs if the Sabbatarians are to be indulged in their fanatical extravagances ; Lord BROUGHAM, in the course of his speech, read a letter from a manufacturer in Castleton, " whose waggoner had been killed on the road last Saturday, to show the inconvenience which had been sustained in consequence of the inability of that manufacturer to forward his letters immediately to inquire into the circumstances under which his waggoner had been killed, and to ascertain whether the goods which he had expected to receive from various parts of the kingdom had or had not been stolen from his waggon after his wag goner had :been killed. Under the old system, he might have received information on all these points by the Monday morning ; but under the system enforced for the first time on Saturday and Sunday last, his correspondents could not even re ceive his letters, asking for information, until Wed nesday morning. His correspondent bad been com pelled to send men on the Sunday to the different places where his correspondents lived, to procure in person the information which be required. It was quite clear that those persons could not go tocburch that day, and were therefore damnified, so far as regarded the due observance of the Sabbath." " Let their Lordships consider for a moment," continued Lord BROUGHAM, " what would be the case when similar accidents in every part of the kingdom should simultaneously lead to a similar compulsory violation of the Sabbath. Hundreds of clerks would be flying about the country on Sunday in order that three or four Post-office officials might enjoy a holiday for which they individually were not anxious. He argued that for such an object it was not expedient that our great merchants at Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, and other large towns, should be compelled to risk their credit, and to run the danger of having their bills protested, from their inability to give means and in formation on Sunday to their agents to provide for them. Such danger would be incurred all over Great Britain ; and, as it must be prevented in one way or another, it would lead to the employment of hundreds of clerks on the Sunday, and would thus, instead of improving the observance of the Sabbath, lead to its increased desecration, to the benefit of a few employes in the Post-office, and to the injury of thousands of other persons." We trust that all persons who have been compelled by Lord ASHLEY to desecrate the Sabbath, like this unfortunate manufacturer at Castleton, will, like him, make their respective cases known, in order to show as speedily as possible the absurdity, the iniquity, and the impractibility of carrying out the ASHLEY scheme. The legal part of the question was brought under the consideration of the House of Commons by Mr. HUMF, who asked whether there was any ac curacy in' the statement,,n4acte elsewhere, that her MAJESTY had no power by order in Council to do away with the Post-office regulations which were established by Act of Parliament ? Whereupon the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, with more than his usual pomposity, declared that " the Hon. Gentleman appeared to assume that the de livery on Sundays was imperative, but that was not the case; he (the CHANCELLOR of the ExcuEouEn), therefore, apprehended that the Government had the power to make the alteration referred to." If this is the apprehension of the Right. Hon. Gen tleman, it is a mis-apprehension, and his law is as bad as his finance. Indeed, from what followed, it would appear that Sir Oracle, after hearing the ques tion of Mr. HILDYARD, began to have a faint glint. mering of an idea that he had committed himself to an absurdity, and that the less he said about the mat ter the better. We perceive that meetings are being held all over the country on the subject, and we ad vise all who are aggrieved to lose no time in peti tioning Parliament. AMERICAN NEWS. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

It t ,„ by 1J - trtnintt ezzs , LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 1850. During:an interval of nearly five hours' continuance Lord PALMERSTON was last night vindicating his foreign policy from the charges levelled against it by his political antagonists in both Houses of Parliament. An oratiodmore comprehensive in its character, more lucid in its arrangement, more explicit in its expla nations, more noble and magnanimous in its candour, has never been delivered within the walla of the Im- perial Legislature. It is a perfect masterpiece for its logical acumen, and in some sort also for its subdued yet persuasive eloquence. The Noble Viscount, her MAJesry's Foreign Secretary, appeared throughout to be conscious of the enormous responsibilities de- volving upon himself individually in reference to the tendency of the discussion. He manifested in every syllable of that elaborate and remarkable harangue his profound appreciation of the circumstances ex• pressly alluded to by him in its exordium—the fact that the question at issue was a question conceining not merely the tenure of office by one individual, or the tenure of office by a Government, but a question, moreover, involving principles of national policy, involving the deepest interests as well as the honour and dignity of the em pire. Having avowed so much by way of emphatic preliminary, the illustrious statesman reminded the representatives of the English people that they were about to decide upon a proposition of a national policy, " which," said he, " I consider to be totally in compatible with the rights, with the honour, with the dignity of the country, and with the practice not only of this country, but of all other coun- tries." It is this reflection which imparts such supreme importance to the debate now proceeding in the popular assembly at Westminster ; it is this which concentrates at this moment upon the British House of Commons the deep and breathless attention of the multitude ; it is this which yesterday invested the speech of the Noble Viscount at the head of the Foreign Department of the Administration with that interest which alone belongs to utterances destined to resound through the voice of history through many remote generations. Whether the oration pronounced yesterday by the lips of Lord PALMERSTON be scanned analytically or synthetically, it will be impossible for any uupre- udiced man to withhold from it those eulogiurns which are due to , the exquisitely sequential symmetry of its arguments, and to its surprising and laborious completeness. Supposing any one to have previ ously acquired only a most incoherent knowledge of the imputations cast by a miserable faction of political intriguers upon the foreign policy of the Government, an absolute familiarity with every individual accusation levelled against the Cabinet in regard to the proceed ings of Lord PALMERSTON might be obtained from the very speech in which that great diplomatist has ad ventured upon his ministerial vindication. One by one the incidents of his career as an Administrator are there plainly and severally specified ; one by one his achievements as a statesman are there recounted, together with their respective justifications ; one by one the charges burled against him with such virulent and dastardly vituperations, or, still worse, with so many detestable and mendacious inuendoes, are there exposed in all their insincerity, baseness, and atrocity.. It was with a haughty and withering scorn that the noble orator, at the very outset of his remarks, deprecated the indecent mirth with which matters of such enormous gravity had been brought under discussion by the Protectionists. The flippant absurdities . in which those per. sons have not been ashamed to indulge, in allusion to questions involving the vital and fundamental principles of international jurispru dence, he declared to have been of a character unbe coming alike the individuals by whom, of whom, and before whom those questions were brought under examination,. As if to enforce this consideration yet more emphatically by means of that remarkable con trast, the Noble Viscount reminded these political triflers of another truth of commensurate importance, the truth " that men who aspire to govern mankind ought to bring to that task generous sentiments, compassionate sympathies, and noble and elevated views." Than that no language could have been employed more bitterly sarcastic towards men whose views, sympathies, and sentiments have shown them selves throughout the whole question notoriously devoid of magnanimity. After such premonitory observations, the Foreign Secretary entered upon the successive refutation of all the assertions made anta gonistic to the policy of his administration. He divulged with scrupulous and punctilious particularity every iota of the Greek negotia tions. He disclosed the justice and moderation of our demands upon the Greek Government, and the cordiality and truthfulness with which his diplo matic agents had responded to the offer of French mediation. Alluding to the assertion that our maritime strength was ungenerously employed against a state so weak and diminutive, Lord PALMERSTON indignantly demanded if the magnitude of its ill acts are diminished by the smallness of a country ? He enlarged, moreover, on the fact that France had required, on the 17th of Msy, 1848, from Naples, the reparation, within two hours, cf iojuties similar to those prior to the compensation of which Greece obtained from our leniency a lull of some fourteen years' duration. In ad dition to all which the Noble Lord observed, that not only had the French Plenipotentiary twice written to the English Ambassador saying, " I have withdrawn from the negotiation," but that Sir WILLIAM PARKER, although thereby empowered to recommence hostilities, had delayed from the 22d to the 24th, and from the 24th to the 25th before resuming any coercive measures. All these particulars, however, had already been divulged through the medium of the Parliamentary documents, and it only remained for the distinguished statesman whose genius and integrity were therein implicated to recapitulate truths previously revealed, in a manner the simplicity and explicitness of which would remain for ever afterwards unanswerable. Besides ac complishing thus much by his masterly ora tion a last evening, Lord PALMERSTON explained 'With justifiabl e se lf gratulation the patriotism, the manliness, and the consistency of his policy towards the rest of the nations of Christendom. He reverted with proud satisfaction to the manner in which, under his _ auspices, Belgium had acquired her independence ; Port uga l h a d escape d f rom the y o ke of Dom klnanee, the Absolutist; Spain had Iseaseeee ; Switzerland ac quired, instead of the despotic rule of Dort CARLOS, policy had secured the Republic, the liberal constitution of had expelled the Jesuits and disbanded the Sonderbund : showing, moreover, Frenchhow his recognition of t he th e assuagement of Italian calamities, and the preservation of the unfortunate and expatriated Hungarians. Ad mirably and felicitously were those magnani mous achievements cf Lord PALMERSTON mentioned as the criminal features of his policy by the witty and brilliant representative of Middlesex, one of the most humorous and effective orators, as he is most certainly one of the most liberal and independent Members, in the House of Commons. It was after the careful enumeration of these his great deeds as a patriotic statesman that Viscount PALMERSTON last night closed his oration by boldly challenging the favour able verdict of Parliament. That favourable verdict is already secured to him as the crowning victory of his political life—the reward of a policy more national, a character more elevated, a genius more masculine, a courage more impressive, and a career more illus trious, than have ever before distinguished a Foreign Secretary in the annals of British statesmanship. Lord ASULBT and his squad should be denominated patrons of the desecration of the Sabbath. In order to MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY. The few samples of English Wheat on offer in our market to-day were disposed of at prices fully equal to' those obtained on Monday. The attendance of both town and country buyers was limited, and the accounts from the country respecting the appearance of the growing crops were very favourable. From abroad 8,340 quarters of Wheat have come to hand this week. Selected parcels were held at very full prices. In the middling and inferior kinds next to nothing was doing. Barley, the supply of which was moderate, moved of slowly at late rates. We bad a slow inquiry for Malt, at last week's quotations. Very few Oats were brought forward, and really good qualities produced 6d per quarter more money. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn are without alteration. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. 1 Wheat. Barley.

CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY. — Yesterday the Committee of the House of Lords upon this company's Bill for sale or lease to the London and North-Western Railway, after hearing evi , ence and counsel on both sides, intimated through the Marquis of Salisbury, their chair man, that they approved of the principle of the clauses pro posed by the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway Company for facilitating the interchange of traffic between them and the Chester and Holyhead line, but that they would require amendments to be made. The Committee suggested for the adoption that the words " if so required by the Shrewsbury and Chester," should be struck out, as this might leave it to thu . option of the two companies to make arrangements to the pNudiee of the public. The clauses with respect to rates , and tolls must be varied. There should be a clause intro ' duc!d giving the power of booking through the whole length of line at both stations, and the Committee were also of opinion that the words " if any differences should arise in regard to the construction of the clauses," the same should be referred to the Commissioners of Railways should be left out. The Shrewsbury and Chester Railway must be bound to give the same facilities on their line, and the great object the Committee had in view was to promote the advantage of the public as far as they possibly could. Let the slandered take comfort ; it is only at fruit trees that thieves throw stones.—Eliza Cbok's Journal. WESTMINSTER TEMPORARY BRIDGE.—The Com mittee of the House of Commons have decided that the standing orders may be dispensed with in favour of this measure, which is to enable the Commissioners of West minster-bridge to build a temporary structure from Bridge street to the opposite shore, to maintain it during the repairs of Westminster-bridge, and to authorise the Commissioners to mortgage the bridge estates. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING-, JUNE 26, 1850 IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT written by th© son-in-law of the Due de Broglie with regard to our Swiss intervention, which they ell know cintained not one but many inaccuracies.— (Hear, hear.) He also went into the subject of the fleet at the Darda nelles being obliged to put into one of the bays of the Archipelago from stress of weather, and quoted the dis patch of Prince Metternich. He (Mr. Osborne) was content to leave those two facts to be answered by the Noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs; but he (Mr. Osborne) said that if the Liberal party in England was caught by stray votes thrown out one night on the subject of the Irish HOUSE OF LORDS, June 25. LEASEHOLD TENURE OF LAND (IRELAND) BILL. Lord BEAUMONT, in moving that the House should resolve itself into a Committee on the above Bill, said that the amendments which he proposed might be hi serted in the Bill in Committee, and having been printed could be discussed fully en a future occasion. He would allow a sufficient time after they were printed to be considered, and he hoped the Solicitor-General would have no objection to tbem. The Earl of WICKLOW said it was not his intention to oppose the proposed measure ; indeed, without being aware of the precise nature of the amendments to be in troduced by the Noble Baron he could not undertake to do so. The Noble Earl then went into a history of the original Bill, which had been introduced by the Lord Chancellor, and had been founded on the recommenda tions of the Deven Commission. The Marquis of WESTMEATH said nothing could make a measure like that a just one, which was essen tially unjust, and could never be deemed otherwise. After a few words from Lord MONTEAGLE, The Bill passed through Committee, and was reported with amendments. THE ABOLITION OF THE IRISH VICEROY ALTY. Church, and on another - by the insidious lure of resting the franchise on the broadest possible basis, if they were content to submit to the tyrannical acts of the despot of Russia, in his oppressive demeanour towards the Hun garians, they were not deserving the name of the Libe ral party in that House.—(Hear, hear.) The Right Hon. Baronet was like Colabs in search of a party. — (I iughter.) He (Mr. Osborne) admired the great ta lents of the Right Hon. Baronet, but there was a screw loose about him.—(A laugh.) He (Mr. Osborne) en- tirely dissented from the policy of setting up a Russian puppy in the Levant. At the Congress of Verona, the Right Honourable Gentleman would recollect, the Greek deputies were not received, and Lord Strangford, who was our ambassador at Con stantinople, was deputed to communicate to the Turk. ish Government that the Congress of Verona recognised the Greek question as one belonging to the internal af fairs of the Porte, in which no foreign power ought to intermeddle. What did all the foreign powers do afterwards? Why, they violated that assurance which was given by the Congress of Verona. The Count Balgarry, speaking of Greece and the Greeks on one occasion, said there was no security for liberal in stitutions, because the immorality and ignorance of th e Greeks were so great. That opinion respecting th Greeks had also been corroborated by the French Ade miral. Such was the race for which we fancied we were setting up a constitutional Government ; and what was the natural consequence ? Why, that we were now obliged to correct the spoiled child of our adoption, to whom had thus been given the character of iojurel innocence, realising the character of Juvenal— " Ingenium velox, audacia perdita, sermo Promptus." Altering the quotation, he might say that in this case— " Base was the State that paid." —(Laughter:) The Marquis of LONDONDERRY begged to with draw for the present the important moti o n upon the above subject, of which he had given notice, and to fix it for Thursday next. The reason why he did so was that some Noble Lords who wi s h e d t o b e p rese nt on the consideration of so important a question could not be so that evening; and, moreover, a Noble and Learned Friend of his also requested him to postpone it, as it would be more convenient for him to hear the statement about to be made on Thursday next. Motion accordingly postpon e d. CRIME AND OUTRAGES (IRELAND) ACT CON- He wanted to know what course any Hon. Member would advise to be followed by a country whose subjects were first tortured, then plundered, and all redress de nied or put off to that imaginary period called the Greek kalends. A miserable laugh had been raised in the other House by the mention of the inventory. Hew would the Noble Lord have liked it, if his own house bad been plundered and the inventory of his daughter's effects been brought out in the House of Commons. But what was the real case about Pacifico ; it had not been let out yet, not even in any blue book. He had purchased lands, and had only received part payment of them ; and it was not until a few rather strong letters had been written from other places that he received payment of the whole. Much had been said about the house itself, and an argu- ment raised about its structure—that it was a mud cabin — when, in fact, it was oue of those houses built after the Con stantinople style, at which the head of the Regency had lived, and at which Otho himself had not disained to dance at a ball, for which he was much better qualified than reigning. The Hon. Gentleman opposite had talked of seeking redress at the local tribunals, but did they know that the judges of those courts were remo vable at the King's pleasure, and no later than 1847 the President of the Areopagus had been removed by the King, though a gentleman of high and un blemished character? The Honourable Gentlemen must have forgotten their Greek, or be entirely ignorant of the Greek Constitution. With regard to the case of Mr. Finlay, he was not going to drag the House through the waste*of blue-books, nor was he going into the nisi pries style of argument, which he did not think the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir J. Graham), though he had deprecated it, had altogether avoided. But it was sufficient for them to know that the man had been de frauded and plundered, and that he was an Englishman and entitled to the protection of the British Government. —(Hear.) The Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Ripon and the Hon. and Learned Gentleman Op Mem-, ber for Abingdon had not thought it worth their while to refer to the arguments of the Hon. and Learned Member for Sheffield, who had adduced many instances in which the French Government had carried things with a much higher hand in different parts of the world. No notice had been taken on the other side of the House of the numerous instances which had been mentioned by the Hon. and Learned Member for Bath of similar claims made by the French Government in Portugal in 1831, and at Naples in 1848. But what was the reason of the unconquerable hostility shown to • the Noble Lord? It was because his name was identified with responsible go vernment and with the advance of liberal opinions. If he had allowed himself to be persuaded by Metter nich, or other foreign Ministers, to intercept the letters of foreign subjects, the case would have been . different. but the Noble Lord had not been guilty of opening let ters; his was a greater crime, and the indictment against him contained many counts. He (Lord Palmerston) had defended constitutional government in Spain; he had been guilty of sympathising with Italian liberty; he had dissented from Russian interference in Hungary— (Cheers)—he had recognised the Republic of France. —(Cheers.) These were great crimes in the eyes of tyrants and despots, and of that of Archiatede of politics the Emperor of Russia, who sought to push back the world from its present advanced state of pros perity and civilization. If, however, the Noble Lord was sacrificed to those alleged crimes, they might depend upoa it that they would light a flame in this country.—(Cheers.) He solemnly believed that a con spiracy had been organized against the Noble Lord a conspiracy of kings with crowns and without crowns, of ministers with places and without places—and he would add without character.—(Hear and cheers.) That conspiracy was participated in not only iu the saloons of Paris, but also in the boudoirs of London.—(Hear, hear.) He was going to say that the times of the Fronde bad again arrived. There were certain ladies who culti vated a taste for foreign politics, and who were all things to all men.—(Laughter.) A party headed perhaps by a modern Duchess de Longueville, who hated the Noble Lord as ardently as ever the original lady hated Maze rine.—(Cheers and Jaughter.) What use was it to move for ai,Committee in the other House to obtain accommo dation for foreign diplomatists in the gallery if this was to be the result? Were they to be invited to hear such un-English sentiments as those which have been uttered by persons who "Explain a country's dear-bought rights away, And plead for pirates in the face of day?" Will you then permit the Noble Lord to be run down by the letters "of our own correspondent?"—(Cheers) —a gentleman, who, by the way, in the company of Russian and French agents, had been recently deco rated in that country to which he had rendered such substantial service by his letters—(Hear, hear) it gentleman who received what was called the Order of the Saviour for his exertions. Well might such an event call for the manly indignation of General Church, who said that he would never again wear that order in consequence of its having been so de graded; for he thought that so far-from this order being entitled now to be called the Order of the Saviour, it should rather be viewed as a badge of Judas Iscariot— ( Hear, hear.) The man that would put his hand to letters for the purpose of betraying the interests of his own country was deserving of neither respect nor honour.—(Cheers.) He would have the House seriously to reflect upon the consequences of the vote they gave on this occasion. Why, beside the other consequences of this measure the Greek question sinks into utter insig nificance. It was not the mere fact of giving a vote of confidence in the Noble Lord the Minister of Foreign Affairs that we should consider on the present occasion. In his (Mr. Osborne's) opinion the Noble Lord's cha racter required no such vote to support it. But we have heard nothing'as yet about the commerce of the country. He would have the House reflect whether by the reversal of the foreign policy of the Noble Lord, we, who have ships in every sea, merchants in every port, should not suffer the most serious injury, for what would the situation of these merchants be if we condemn the Noble Lord's foreign policy?—(Hear, hear.) Re verse that foreign policy and our comm?rce will be im mediately crippled. Not only would that consequence follow, but the progress of civilization would be at once retarded. There was not a despot that would not re joice, not over the humiliation of the Noble Lord, but over the humiliation of Great Britain herself—(Hear, hear.) He would speak a few words to two Honourable Gentlemen. To the one who represented the Protec tionist party in this House, he would ask him to consi der what course he was about to take. Of course that party would vote against the Noble Lord. But have they at all contemplated what would follow? Have they forgotten how they have been treated before by that Minister whom they trusted?—(Cheers). Were they about to find themselves still trusting and again betrayed? " For Bsnquo's issue have I 'filed my mind — For them the gracious Duncan have I murdered." Were they again to be made the victims of his treachery? As far as he was concerned, he would much prefer to see that party in power than the Right Honourable Baronet the Member for Tamworth. He knew what their measures were, but he could not explain, the policy of the Right lion. Baronet. —(Hear.) He would place his trust in no party. The Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Ripon boasted that he had generously followed the policy of the Govern ment for a period of four years; and now, in the fifth year, when he thinks the Government are in the agonies of death, he no doubt thinks he can see a way by which he can mount to fame and possibly to office.—(Hear, hear.) But he (Mr. 0.) believed that there were actu ally to be found men upon this (the Ministerial) side of the House who intended to vote against the Noble Lord. Now he was at a loss to understand how men calling themselves liberal, and taking the map of Europe in their hands, could bring their minds to adopt that course.—(Hear, hear.) Did they consider what they were really going to do? Why, by giving their vote to-night against the Noble Lord they were giving the greatest encouragement to the schemes of Austrian ab• solutism and to the genius of Cossack domination.-- ( Hear, hear.) He would support the motion of the Hon. and Learned Member for Sheffield both with pride and pleasure.—(The Hon. and Gallant Member then sat down amidst the most tremendous cheering.) Lord JOHN MANNERS said that, without attempt ing to follow the Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down through all the topics he had discussed, he should explain to the House the grounds upon which he should give his vote against the motion of the Hen. Member for Sheffield. These were chiefly two: first, that the policy of the Noble Lord the Foreign Secretary had not tended to the maintenance of English honour abroad and the peace of the world; and secondly, that it was di rectly calculated to impair the dignity of the Crown. On those grounds he was prepared moat conscientiously to register his vote against the motion. The Noble Lord did not send the English fleet to enforce compensation from France for the injuries sustained by our artisans England would not join in such opposition, because they there, who were turned from their homes at the revolu- dad a strong recolleetisu of the service s of the Noble tion.—(aear, hear.) In the case of Greece, the compli- Lord (Lord Palmerston), end he felt aesurecl that they cations which had arisen were twofold, the first would never be found guilty of ingratitude. He next originating in the delay, and the second the is- alluded to the Pragmatic Diet, which was violated by comprehensible tenacity with which Mr. Wyse re- I Austria in respect to Hungary, which latter csuntry W" fused to accept the proposition made to him on the to eejsy certain privilege, independent t f the Austrian part of France. It was a singular coincidence Government; and it should be borne in mind by the that a delay of ten days in this case, as well House that Austria used every exertion in 1848 to de as in that of Switzerland, should be fatal to the po- prive Hungary of the few privileges that she before that licy of the Government, and be the means of disturbing period enjoyed. When such an innovation and aggres their relations with all the great powers of Europe. Tne sion was made by the militsry oligarchy that reigned at clue to the pertinacious refusal of Mr. Wyse was, that Vienna, he considered that the interposition offered by he thought the negotiations would be transferred to Lon- the Noble Lord (Lord Palmerston) was most just and don.

The Noble Lord said the Foreign that it also reflected much to the glory and honour of Secretary was not the minister of Austria or Russia, England. He hoped that such beneficial acts would be and the Gallant Officer boasted that the conduct of Lord borne in mind by all Hon. Gentlemen who intended to Palmerston was opposed to Cossack policy, but there vote. As for his own part, he had no confidence in the was a passage in a dispatch of 11r.

He next argued vernment contributed to the preservation of the peace of that it was not stipulated that England was bound, in Europe, they should look to the claims put forward conjunction with the powers of Russia and France, to with regard to the islands of Cervi and Sapienzi. In protect the two islands, Cervi and Sapienza, and he September, 1849, Sir William Parker was ordered to therefore agreed that the policy of the Noble Lord on take possession of them, nevertheless the fleet went that occasion was a strong proof of his judgment and for into the Dardanelles, and Sir William Parker forgot bearance, particularly as those islands formerly be to take possession of them, but afterwards returned longed to Venice. In that opinion he concurred with into the Greek waters, and Mr. Wyse suspended the his lion. and Learned Friend (Mr. Roebuck), and order. Then followed the energetic note of Count Nes- totally disagreed with the allegation of the Noble Lord sdrode, when Lord Bloomfield was directed to assure (Lord J. Manners) —(Hear, hear.) He would call the him that Russian rights would be regarded, but orders attention of the House to a circumstance which would had been previously given to take possession of these show that the Greek Government occupied those islands without consulting Russia. Then, with regard two islands for some time, and that when some con to Switzerland in 1847, France offered her mediation, victs from Cerigo, one of, the lonian islands, were which, if accepted, might have prevented the civil war which took place. In that case ten days were lost before the note was transmitted to Mr. Peel. Pending the ex wrecked and obliged to put into the island of Cervi, a communication was made by Sir E. Lyons to Lord Palmerston, that the Greek authorities in these islands demanded them from the police in charge of the con victs. The police then gave them up, and, therefore, OR the above communication, Lord Palmerston ordered that the Greek Government should give up those islands, which, from the shelter afforded by the number of their excellent harbours, were the continual rendezvous of pirates. He would ask was such an act unworthy of Secretary for Foreign Affairs, particularly when the occupation of these islands was long known to Lord Stanley and the Earl of Aberdeen, during their official career, previously to the Noble Lord (Lord Palmerston) coming into power?—(Hear, hear.) With respect to the reprisals which had been made, he confessed that if the parties had done less than they had done, where a British subject had been injured, they would have been subject to the reprehension of Parliament.—(Hear.) He regretted to sue that there was a lamentable amount of ignorance on this subject even among some of those Honourable Members who had taken a leading part in • the debate. Most Honourable Members seemed to know • nothing more of the question than what they bad ga thered from the reports in the morning papers. The Honourable and Learned Member then referred to some of the cases which had been made the subject of com plaint on the part of the British Government, and amongst them to the case of the " Fantome." Even in the case of Signor Pacifico, which had been made the subject of so much indecent mirth, that individual could not, by civil action, obtain redress from the Government for the losses and injury which he might be able to prove he had sustained. It had been said that an overwhelm ing force had been sent to seek redress for those wrongs, and complaint was made against the Government on that subject; but he remembered that in the war with Spain, complaint was made to Parliament against the Government of the day for not having sent such an overwhelming force against the Spaniards on that occasion as would not have tailed to make them submit. He thought, that when reprisals were to be made, a sufficient force to make them should. be employed.—(Hear, hear.) He was not prepared to condemn the whole of the foreign policy of the Govern ment on the present occasion. He could not vote for the motion of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, because it went generally to an approval of the foreign policy of the Government; neither could he vote for the negative of that motion, because, latterly, there were some parts of that policy t f a liberal . charaetei (as' in the ease of Hungary), of which he approved, and he had, therefore, looking at the case in all its details, conscientiously come to the conclusion not to vote at all.—(Hear.) Mr. BAILIE COCHRANE thought that the House had been greatly edified by the speech of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman who had just 'sat down, because of the knowledge he had shown of the affairs of Greece, and must have been somewhat surprised at the speech of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman ending with a declaration that he would not vote at all. He had on a former occasion listened for hours to a speech of the Hon. and Learned Member, and heard hint indulge in all manner of invective against the Noble Lord at the head of the foreign department, because of his foreign policy ; but he (Mr. Cochrane) now rose, not to indulge in any invective, but to express his opinion of the importance of this debate.—(Hear, hear, from the Opposition.) He differed from the Noble Lord (Lord John Russell) who had said the other day that the policy of the Noble Lord at the head of Foreign Affairs was " English policy."—(Hear, hear, from the Ministerial benches.) He (Hr. Cochrane) denied that it was English policy—(Hear, hear, from the Opposition)—because the policy of the Noble Lord was based on bad faith to wards other countries.—(Hear, hear, and cries of " No, no,") He did not quarrel with the Noble Lord for his revolutionary spirit, but good faith, he maintained, ought to be kept with every country.—(Hear, hear, from both sides of the House.) He had given notice, about a fortnight ago, on the subject of dispatches in relation to the affairs of Switzerland, to which the Duke de Broglie and Mon sieur De Somville were parties on the one hand, and the Noble Lord on the other. The charges which were made against the Noble Lord by the French authorities had been denied by the Noble Lord, and he (Mr. Coch rane) was delighted to hear that denial, because it would appear from it that there had been much misrepresenta tion of the Noble Lord on the subject. The Hon. Mem ber then quoted from correspondence between the No ble Lord at the head of the Foreign Department, the Duke de Broglie, and M. De Somville on the subject of ' the affairs of Switzerland. He found from that correspondence that the Noble Lord had declined to interfere in the matter, en the ground that he would not, on principle, meddle in the foreign affairs of any countries. He then went on to explain the interviews which had taken place between Mr. Peel and other diplomatic functionaries on the sub ject of the threat of the French Government to march troops into Switzerland for the purpose of crushing the revolutionary movement in that country, and to th in terviews between the Noble Lord, the Chevalier Bunsen, and other diplomatists, on the subject, and the desire expressed on the occasiou, to prevent General Dufoure from marching against Lucerne. But, notwithstanding the promises thus given by the Noble Lord, and the desire expressed by Mr. Peel, General Dufoure was allowed to march a large force against Lucerne. He (Mr. Cochrane) charged the Noble Lord, then, with bad faith in his foreign policy on that occasion. —(Hear.) In 1847 Lord Ponsonby wrote to the Noble Lord the Foreign Se' cretary that the Pope was in great danger. Lord Minto arrived in Rome in December, 1848, and would it be believed that ho went to the Hotel do l'Europe, and was received by a knot of scoundrels, by whom he was loudly cheered, for what he called the independence of Italy—a republican cry raised throughout the country. In a box in the theatre, too, he received Ciceroacchio , one of those abandoned men who are remarkable for the audacity of their character and the utter recklessness of ther conduct. Equally wanting in good faith had been the conduct of the Noble Lord with regard to the affairs of Sicily and Naples. Throughout Italy there was but one feeling, that all the miseries which that country suf . ' fered had been brought about by British interference. He should not trouble the House further, but it was not for want of matter to prove the reprehensible nature of the Noble Lord's conduct. His policy wes not an Eng' lish policy, it was egotistical and selfish, based upon coercion of the weak and concession to the strong. Lord PALMERSTON, who on rising was loudly cheered by the Ministerial side of the House, then spoke as follows' Mr. Speaker, anxious as many Members undoubtedly are to deliver their sentiment on this most important question , ,yet I am sure that they will feel it is due to me—that they will feel it is due to this House—that they will feel it is due to the country, that I should not permit the second night of this important debate to close without having stated to the House my views and explanations of the matter in ques" tion. Sir, when I say that this is an important question, I say so with the fullest conviction that it is not merey e question of the tenure of office by one individual—of the tenure of office by a Government—but that it is a question which involves principles of national policy—(Hear, bear) —which involves the deepest interest as well as the hotel and dignity of the country.—(Hear, hear.) Sir, I cane° think the course pursued, and by which the question has been brought to its present issue, is becoming those hi whose act ;this question has been brought uuder discussion► or is fitting the gravity and importance of the matter which they have brought this and the other House of Parliament to discuss.—(Hear, hear.)

With respect to Italian affairs, it was said that England wished to oc cupy the position of a spectator, and that the Noble Lord did not mean to deprive Austria of her Lombar dic territories; yet Mr. Abercromby, sitting in Turin when the Assembly was discussing the question of an nexation, stated in his dispatch, " after an animated discussion,the question was decided in favour of annexa tion by a majority, &c." It was in this summary manner that the event was treated. At a later period Mr. Abercromby was found writing—"lt is with much regret that I have to announce to your Lordship the retreat of the Sardinian troops, under his Sardinian Dlaiesty, to the banks of the Oglio." If it was the part of England to remain an impassive spectator, how could the Noble Lord order the British Minister in Sardinia to proceed to Alessandria to comfort the defeated mo narch and offer to Charles Albert the good offices of England ? When Mr. Abercromby performed that task, so grateful to his feelings, he told the King of Sar dinia that, as regarded her Mej sty's Government and the people of Great Britain, he could answer for their sympathy. When Mr. Abercromby to .k upon him to say the sympathy of the honest, just-minded people of England went along with Charles Albert, Mr. Aber cromby calumniated the people of England.—(Hear, hear.) The sympathy proffered to Charles Albert, it might be suspected, was not that which he relied on ree ceiving when he commenced his ill-starred expedition ; what he expected was something far more substantial than unmeaning cheers in Free Trade Hall, or pretty expressions on the part of a high Minister of State. And when Charles Albert was in the state so well described by the great moralist of England : " The bold Sardinian,' in a luckless hour, Tries the dread summits of Czsarean pow'r, With unexpected legions bursts away, And sees defenceless realms receive his sway; Short sway ! fair Austria spreads her mournful charms, The Queen, the beauty, sets the world in arms; From hill to hill the beacon's rousing blaze Spreads wide the hope of plunder and of praise; The fierce Croatian, and the wild Hussar, Wittrall the-sons of ravage, crowd the war._ :The baffled Prince, in honour's flatt'ring bloom : . Of hasty greatness, finds the fatal doom ; His foes' derision, and his subjects' blame, And steals to death from anguish and from shame." When such was the career of the Sardinian Monarch, the value of the Noble Lord's sympathy might well be appreciated. The object of attempting to excite the people in different countries against their Governments was alleged to be, that liberal institutions might be established and freedom diffused. Yet it was remarkable that in Austrian Italy the feeling of the people was in favour of the legitimate Sovereign. The return of the Austrians was regarded by the farmers as a blessing. The Noble Lord had been unsuccessful as a mediator, but he strove to serve Charles Albert by diplomacy. With this view the Noble Lord assured tee Court of Austria that she could never retain her Italian provinces, and when the country was re-occupied by Marshal Radetski it was represented that such re-occu pation was not synonimous with the re-establishment of Austrian authority; but Austria was not to he scared out of her rights. The noble answer of Prince Schwart zenberg was, that it was better for Austrians to die with arms in their hands than to give up Lombardy. What had been the result, in a commercial point of view, of this fomenting of insurrections?—(Hear.) He would ask the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman what had been the result of the partial insurrection in Italy. The effect of the policy of the Noble Lord in the Italian states had been injurious to the commercial interests of the country. Previous to the liberal and gentlemanly in terference by Charles Albert, the fiscal dues in Tuscany were little more than nominal. In several other states the tariffs were very low. But in all these states the re strictions upon commercial intercourse had since been increased. He wished the commerce of England joy of the result. The policy of interference had increased re striction from the farthest cape of Italy to the confines of Saxony.—(Hear, hear.) He felt the question could not be narrowed to Greece. He forbore to touch on the policy of the Noble Lord with regard to Portugal, or ou the policy be pursued with respect to the Spanish mar riages. He had put before the House the reasons why he thought that neither the honour nor the dignity of this country was maintained by this policy. He thought that the peace of the world could not be maintained it it was much longer pursued.—(Hear, hear.) It was not calcu lated to secure for England that position which she ought to hold amongst the nations of the world. It was calculated to excite the hostility of the world, and arouse the indignation of civilized Europe; and therefore he could not conscientiously give his support to a resolution affirming that this policy was calculated to uphold the honour and dignity of the nation. Mr. C. ANSTEY said that they were called upon to give their approbation to the foreign policy of her Ma jesty's Government, because the principles upon which that foreign policy - was conducted were calculated to up hold the honour of the country. No definite period was mentioned to which their consideration was to be con fined; but they were invited at least to go so far back us 1830, for the evidence of its merits; and, upon the other hand, they were told by his Hon. and Learned Friend that the object of the resolution was to neutralise the effect produced by the rash and un-English vote of the House of Lords upon foreign Governments. Now they knew that the ground upon which their policy had been attacked in another place was the whole course of policy in the Levant since the year 1848. He complained of being called upon to give a vote upon the resolution be fore the House, which he knew, if there was any force in language, was meaningless. They were not asked to affirm the vote of the House of Lords. They were not asked to say that the foreign policy pursued was not wise, and just, and honourable. He could not affirm that it was wise, and jest, and English, and he could not affirm the contrary.—(Hear.) He could not affirm that of any Government, and therefore he felt himself in a difficulty. He had had occasion to condemn the policy of the Foreign Minister, and he did then unfeignedly condemn it, but he wished to deal fairly with him and the Ministry in the consideration of their policy. The foreign policy, since February, 1848, he could affirm had been such as declared in the resolution. He was most essentially and determinately opposed to the policy of those parties who advocated the extradition of those ve nerable and patriotic men, after they had sought refuge in a country enjoying the protection of this country. It was in a spirit of fair play, and not that he had confidence in his policy, that he came forward to render his testi mony in his place in Parliament, and to declare that in one and all the recent passages of his policy which had been made the subject of so much obloquy elsewhere, his judgment was that the Noble Lord (Lord Palmer ston) had sinned rather in respect of moderation than of excess. He owed that much to the Noble Lord, and he appealed to the House not to misconstrue his motives and his speech. The Noble Lord who had just sat down had opened new ground that night. He asked them to come to the decision that the measures of the Noble Lord in Italy were inconsistent with the interests of this country, and inconsistent with the peace of the world. Now, he said the Noble Lord had opened that new ground. They were now to have a discussion on Italy. Now, what was it all about? When a slight deficiency in the statement of the Noble Lord and the Right Hon. Baronet had been supplied, the result was this, that they were not forewarned, and could not be supposed to fore see that the war would be so speedily put. down. The Noble Lord did give to all parties that advice which was most calculated to induce peace. The Austrians had endeavoured to establish a state of disorder throughout Italy, and even beyond the limits of their southern boundary; and the limits of the Noble Lord's declaration was, that if they interfered beyond their own dominions to check the progress of liberty, it would not be re garded by England with indifference. He contended that the motives of Charles Albert to elevate his country were those that became an honest and upright patriot, and though lie failed, through the influence of Austria and Russia, yet his failure was to be characterised rather by defeat than disgrace. And wherefore, he tisked, should a British Minister who supported so high and honourable a cause be subject to the ceusnre of a British Parliament or a British people ? Ho then alluded to the sptech of the Right Honourable Baronet (Sir James Graham), in which he animadverted on the conduct of the Noble Lard (Lord Palmerston), and he (Mr. Anstey) contended that there was no similarity of feeling or inte rest between a civilized nation and a horde of brutal Cossacks, headed by their barbarian despots. But he should, in reply to the censure of the Right Honourable Baronet (Sir James Graham) say that the Secretary for Foreign Affairs acted as became an Englishman an a Christian, and he contended, therefore, that Turkey was much indebted to England, and consequently he Lord, for his prompt interference in preventing the Noble of Russia from enterieg the Bosphorous and t h en the Dar danelles. He was happy to say that the ap Ca p b r i: v e d ot 6F En th g ,; land and that of France had hig hl y conduct of the Noble L. , rd on that occasion, and though opposition was raised against the present Government for certain motives, yet he felt assured that the p eop l e of TINUANCE BILL. On the motion of the Marquis of LANSDO VINE, the above Bill Uommittee; and the report wasorder went through edtobereceived on Thursay next. Several Bills on the table were advanced a stage. The Earl of RODEN presented a petition from a place in Gloucestershire against Sunday labour in the Post-office; one from Tullamore to the same effect; and one from the county of Louth against the admission of Jews into Parliament. Their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 25. Mr. CUBITT presented a petition from Andover against certain causes in the Savings Bank Bill. Colonel SIB mom) presented a similar petition from Lincolnshire. FOREIGN POLICY.—ADJOURNED DEBATE. Mr. B. OSBORNE resumed' the debate. He appre hended that no Hon. Gentleman who addressed himself to a subject of this sort could undervalue the importance of the discussion, or underrate the momentous nature of the whole debate., In his opinfon this was not a discussion to be conducted on petty details—it was not a question to be proved from blue books by a discontented lawyer. It was not a question which they were to look at with regard to the exorbitant de mands of Don Pacifico, or the unrequited injuries of Mr. Finlay; these might he subjects for a special pleader in another place, but as he took it the House of Commons had a ditfaeut task to perform. The point for their consideration was how far the international , prin ciples of the foreign policy of the Govern ment of this country were to be regulated by justice, and how far British subjects and British commerce were to be protected by the Government of this country. The real question at issue was not whether they were called upon to approve the foreign policy of her Majesty's Government, or to maintain her Majesty's. Ministers in their present position. It was, whether our foreign policy was or was not to be regulated by the ideas of a foreign state. They had to consider whether the Foreign Secretary was to merge into a placid tool, a mere automaton, whose hands were directed and moves made by the unseen and wily influence of 4 foreign Minister.--(Bear, hear.) It was not tiit they had 'to give -vote' of confidence in her Majesty's Ministers, but they were called upon to maintain the honour, and indepen dence, and glory of Great Britain.—(Great cheering.) He expressed his surprise that the question in its pre sent shape should have been allowed to be brought for ward by an independent Member of the House, for it amounted, in fact, to a vote of want of confidence in the Ministry. He had anticipated, when a decisive vote was passed in the other House, that some Hon. Gentleman connected with the party which had for years been assiduously reviling and calumniating the Noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs with all the ingenuity of cunning, sharpened by the pertinacity of revenge, would have brought the subject before that House.— (Cheers.) He did not think that that party would have been content backbiting a Minister and the members of a Government by a simple vote of censure in another place.—(Cheers.) He did not expect that that party would have paused on the threshold of this Lionse, and like well-bred spaniels, civilly delight In barking at the game they dare not bite." —(Laughter and cheers.) He did expect that some one among that party would have come boldly for ward with a vote of censure, and arraigned the Noble Lord at the head of Foreign Affairs before his col leagues, and heard what he had to say in answer to the charge.—(Cheers.) He certainly did not think that, like the knights in the play, they would have thought discretion the better part of valour—that they would have been willing to wound, but afraid to strike.— (Cheers and laughter.) He had listened with amuse ment to the sentiments uttered by one whose he sup posed one day would be a judge of this land.—(Hear.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman opposite (Sir F. Thesiger) told the House last night that for years he had no confidence in the foreign policy of the Govern ment; that he thought it was not only calculated to em broil us with foreign nations, but to peril the peace of the world; but what was his conduct? For four years be had been content to sit in the House without ever once raising his voice against the policy—(Loud cheers and laughter)—but now, at the eleventh hour, he came forward and kicked up his heels before the Noble Lord for Foreign Affairs.— (Cheers and laughter.) But another Right Hon. Gen tleman (Sir James Graham) , who spoke last night, said he rose to address the House with great reluctance, but neither in the manner nor the matter of his speech could he discover that he possessed any such reluctance. He was justified in characterising his speech as tinged by the mellow sneer of political scandal, and he could not help being reminded, when that Right Honourable Gentleman professed friendship for the Noble Lord, of those mighty animals of the desert—those large serpents which covered their victims with slaver before they made a meal of them. — (Cheers.) He had always been in the habit of supposing the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite as a sort of guardian angel of the Ministry—as "A sweet little cherub that sits up aloft, To keep watch o'er the life of poor Jack." —(Laughter, in which Lord J. Russell heartily joined.) The Right Hon. Baronet was present when the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Stafford moved the impeach ment of the Minister ; indeed the Right Hon. Baronet had taken a great part of his speech from the address of that Hon. Member. The mantle of Mr. Urquhart it would seem had fallen on the shoulders of the Right Hon. Bart. the Member for Ripon.—(A laugh.) Well, upon that occasion the Right Hon. Baronet was sneer ingly silent.—(tlear, hear,) But the Right Hon. Ba ronet dissents from the Spanish policy of the Noble Lord, and his conduct on that question was equally extraordinary, for in June, 1848, the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Dorsetshire—who was an open and candid foe of the Noble Lord, and did not support Ministers four years and kick them in the fifth—(A laugh)—brought for ward a motion in that House deprecating' the whole course of our policy with regard to Spain, and especially the interference which was alluded to last night by the Right Hon. Baronet himself. Now, what was the course the Right Hon. Baronet pursued on that occasion? Why, the Right Hon. Baronet on that oc casion made a speech in which be damned the Minister with faint praise, and allowed the resolution to pass by almost unnoticed.—(Hear, hear.) Last night, however, the Right Hon. Baronet, passing in review the policy cf the whole world, said " What have you done by your policy? Costa Cabral is embarrassed in authority in Lisbon." Well, why did not the Right Honourable Boronet say that in 1648?—(Cheers.) But again, in June, 1848, his Hon. Friend the Member for Montrose brought the affairs of Portugal in a distinct motion, depreciating our interference with the Govern ment of that country. He supported that motion, but because he supported such a motion two years ago, was he to come down now and rip up the past?—(Hear, hear.) Ho had generally supported, though he was no slavish admirer of the Noble Lord—indeed there were several points in his policy which he disapproved of—but on the whole he thought the Noble Lord a great, a noble, a fine minister, and under all circumstances, an honour to England.—(Cheers.) But what course' did, the Right Honourable Baronet pursue on this last occasion ? He well remembered that there were three nights' debate, but on the third night, by some misfortune, when Dr. Bowring got up to speak, the night was very hot, and the papers the Learned Doctor brought with him were voluminous, and as he spoke in the style adopted last night by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman the Member for Abingdon, the House was counted out.—(Roars of laughter.) But a most remarkable debate ensued on tie fourth night, when the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Ripon was accused of having connived at the counting out of the- House. He defended himself, and, l, thoroughly, and entire l y a pp rove of t h e in a most remarkable speech, he said " So far from my wishing .to shirk the discussion on thi s q u estion. I conscientiousy, policy of the Government—(Cheers) — a n d had I be en present in my place I should have given my honest vote in support of Ministere.",—(Cheers.) And yet they found the Right Hon. Bart. two years afterwards, coming down to the House and say "I always had a suspicion of your policy. I think you are an excellent good friend and a kind Christian, but you are a dam. gerous Foreign Minister, and you must be got rid cf."— (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) He said nothing of the candour of the Right Hon. Baronet in pursuing such a course,---he left that to a discriminating public.—(Hear, hear.) It might be probably thought fair Parliamentary tactics, it might be thought a good Parliamentary move. but he said this, that the public out of doors, who loved fair play rather than faction, and who were in different to the intrigue of political parties, would consider this treatment of the Noble Lord on this occasion to be savouring rather of the Jesuitical evasion of Muscovite chicanery—(oh, oh)— rather than an honest, , open, candid conflict between two English parties.— , (Hear.) But what he was really surprised at, was the fact , of the Right Hon. Baronet having quoted a pamphlet a rbitrary and W here courts tinder the coot l 'inaply stated, tl to share that giyei them.
