I G i n U e l Z o O f t t o h n e a t e b , u l t d d s r o e m s them at length : readers already may wishn an to o s u e t e - M. Thiers, after describing the bad policy of the Minister, both as regards the right of search and the treaty with Morocco, tells M. Guizot, the Minister of peace, that he was on the brink of war for a miserable settlement in the Pacific. It makes one shudder, he said, to think on what a slender thread hung the peace of the world ; if, instead of there being ut Otaheite three French frigates to two English ones, the forces had been equal, blood would perhaps have been shed in the Bay of Pa poiti, and in Europe ; the pacificators at any price would have been unable to stop its torrents. The Ministry of peace has brought France nearer to a war than any pre vious one.—(Oh.) Well, then, if no serious danger threat ened, what excuse have you for the sacrifices you have made ? And fur •vhat has all this been done ? For a miserable islet, at which we had only two fishing-vessels, whilst other nations had hundreds. It has been said that the possession of this island would be beneficial to our trade with China ; but this is not the case, for no vessels would take that route. It is a chimera to which the best interests of the country have been sacrificed. You have committed a fault against our commerce, and also against our moral power. In this opinion I have many parasites, but it is sought to take them from me by insinuating that I am an enemy to our maritime interests.—(Oh ! oh !) Such, however, is not the case ; for my wish is, that France should have a powerful navy—in a word, I am a friend to a real navy, but I am a decided enemy to what I will call an illusory navy.—(Noise.) I repeat that, in occupying the Mar quesas islands, you have committed a fault injurious to our naval forces, and that will be a sufficient answer to those who accuse me of not being favourable to it. I believe that the country ought to have a real navy, and I remember well a remark made by Admiral Lalande with regard to the French fleet in the East, " I had," he said, " some excellent vessels, capable of beating anything they might meet, but I had others which had just left port, and might have been taken in an hour." The superiority of France should be in number. But, it will be said, England has had as many as 100 ships of-the-line and 200 frigates, and France was never able to have more than 60 of the former. That may be the case ; but England has possessions to defend, which are scattered over every sea, whilst France might concentrate her forces, and enter into line with a superior num ber ; but, in order to do this, her ships must not be scat tered as far as Oceania, in consequence of the stupid occupation of the Marquesas Islands. The millions de voted to that expedition should have been employed in finishing the port of Algiers, and the magnificent har bour of Martinique. I shall now speak of the English alliance ; my position with regard to that question is very similar ; some wiih to make me pass for a par tisan of alliance with England an any price ; whilst others, and particularly the Hon. M. de Peyramont, pretends that, in 1842, at least, I was a sort of enemy to it ; per mit me therefore, gentlemen, to offer a few explanations on this point. The lion. M. de Tocqueville stated yesterday, that although the English alliance might have been desirable in 1830, it has since ceased to be so. At that epoch an alliance with England must have been generally approved of. But now, because in certain given cases I appear disposed to withdraw myself from England, I am accused of copying the policy of the empire. No, gentlemen, I do not copy the empire ; those who do so are the enemies of our good relations with England. In my opinion, alliances are governed by circumstances, and I also think that there is no alliance that does not entail serious sacrifices. The history of the past proves my assertion. France was once allied to Germany, and she sacrificed her continental interests to the necessities of the war which was then carried on against England. Much at present is said of continental alliances —you know my opinion on the subject. Per mit me to tell you that there is something chimerical in alliances on the continent. Frankly, is there any one possible for us at the present moment ? It is for this reason that I am a partisan of peace—but not of peace at any price. Time will undoubtedly change the con dition and the feeling of certain Powers ; but at present there is not a single one of these alliances which is pos sible. The longer war shall be kept distant from us the greater chance there is to find alliances on the conti nent of Europe. In all alliances some sacrifices must be made. Thus, the first condition of an alliance with Russia would be the sacrifice of our interests in the East. An alliance with Austria would sanction for ever tier rule over Italy ; and that with Prussia, the most probable of all hereafter, would be to confine us for ever in the limits fixed by the treaties of 1815. So that it is my conviction that the solution of the great European questions—that of the East, for instance, and the interest of our revolution—requires an alliance with England ; and I may add, that the analogy of the two Governments will prevent England from again forming a coalition against us, as she did forty years back. The interest of our African possessions also re quires the English alliance ; for a war with England, without producing the loss of that country—far from it —would considerably impede our intercourse with it. From all this, I come to the conclusion that we ought not to fling ourselves without conditions into the Eng lish alliance ; but that still it merits being maturely and seriously meditated on and weighed. How then, since I am in favour of this alliance, have I differed from the present Cabinet ? In tho manner of conducting it— which is a most grave and important consideration. The situation has beceme singularly modified of late years, and in the following manner:—When you find in a country a party disposed to act efficiently with you, as was the case with the Whig party, then you may form an alliance with that country; but when in place of the Whigs, a Tory party is found in England, that is, a party holding itself on a certain reserve, and not wishing to act freely with France, then I say that you ought not to pledge yourself to that party, as you are now doing. Such is my idea—to engage your self with those who consent to act freely with you, and keep on the reserve with those who show a different countenance towards you. But, in any case, do you sup pose that an affair like the right of search can be a means of alliance with England to act as you did in 1840 ? What did you find in 1840 ? I will suppose that at that period I was alone, and I take on myself all responsibility ; there was no ambassador in London, I suppose ; and it is I alone who am the culprit. — (Loud laughter on the Left.) Well, at that period France was irritated against England, on account of the treaty of the 15th of July, and it was to it that concessions ought to have been made ; and yet it is France that you cause to make the concession. It is impossible to more completely mistake the state of the patient and the nature of the malady. This treaty on the right of search was then consented to, from which you have been told that it was impossible to extri cate yourselves unless by a weakness or a folly. How then was it got out of ? It has not been got out of at all. The first year, they said to Lord Aberdeen, " Receive at least our dispatches, that we may be able to say that negotiations are commenced."—(A - laugh.) The second, not knowing what they had next to do, they deter. mined on naming a commission—that is, to prepare for the question an indefinite adjournment.--(Marks of denial.) And supposing that this affair had been decided in the line of policy prescribed by the French Chambers, would Chambers, what would have been gained ? The difficulty have been transferred from the French Legislature to the other side of the Channel, and all that would have been dune was to excite the dreadful storms in the Eng lish Houses of Parliament.—(Marks of dissent ) And do not think,gentlemen,thatit is a smallmatter to bequeath such difficulties to an allied Government—it is to pre pare absolute impossibilities for one's self. If, after the treaty of 1840, in place of conceding the treaty on the right of search, you had given England to under stand that it was not an opportune moment to bring forward that question—if, in place of crying up so loudly the English alliance, you had cultivated it discreetly and noiselessly, you would have effected in finitely more—you would have been able to make the double influence of the two nations felt in Greece — you could have stopped the effusion of Christian blood at Constantinople—and have given the French residents on the banks of La Plata an efficient protection. I de fine the present policy as at the same time feeble and vain. That is, the former is proved by the fact that yon have gone to the furthest ends of the world to seek for com pensations for your weaknesses, and this has in its turn become the cause of fresh acts of weakness on your part. It is vain, for when you wanted to establish fresh and sincere relations with England, you flung the right of seareh between the two countries—words in place of things. But what do I say ? You hare given us things—the Pritchard indemnity, the treaty of Mo rocco, and the commission on the right of search.— (Great agitation, and the sitting was suspended for some minutes.) 'The Minister of Foreign Affairs —The Hon. Deputy who has just spoken has imputed to me an intention which I had not previously felt, and which I do not entertain since I have heard his remarks. He has supposed that I should speak to him of 1840, and to the legacy which he then left us. I regard the question of 1840 as one already judged both in France and Europe. I maintain that the opinions of all sensible men who observe the course of politics are decided on that point. I do not require, either for my cause or for myself, to speak now of the Cabinet of the Ist of March, and of the state in which affairs were left when it retired from power.—(Approbation.) Neither shall I follow the Hen. Member through all the questions on which he has entered, ques tions military, political, and historical, questions on all our possible alliances, and on all the phases of the policy of our country; I do not think it necessary so infi nitely to ex tend the field of a discussion such as that which now engages our attention. I shall not therefore speak but on subjects which are actually pending—(Approba tion.) Ileppily all these questions have been settled since your session, and I can therefore, last without fnrther preamble, enter on en examination of affairs, all the de tails of which are fresh in your recollection. You will remember how things stood at the close of 11;,st sesOon. You left the Government in serious difficulties. When things of paramount importance are on the mind, secon dary interests and embarrassments are forgotten. When, therefore, at the close of the session, we found ourselves thrown on these important affairs on our own responsibility, every idea of persons instantly disappeared ; we no longer thought but of the great interest involved, and of the great duties imposed on us, and we endeavoured to settle those questions according to those inte rests and those duti e s. T a k en i n thmselves, isolated even from all foreign complication, they were diffi cult and serious. A first war with a neighbouring State in Africa, the first steps of a new establishment at four thousand leagues from the mother country, were serious affairs. There was also to be taken into consi deration the connexion existing between Morocco and the count-..y with which our relations were as impor tant as frequent. The whole of our foreign policy was based on the questions which you had left pending. We proposed to ourselves to settle these questions in main taining the right the interests, and the dignity of France.—(Hear, hear.) I shall take up, one after the other, the several questions under discussion—Morocco, Otaheite, and the right of search ; and I shall examine how we have resolved them, in paying att .ration to the interests, rights, and dignity of each. In the Morocco affair, our course of conduct was this—we declared pub licly what our intentions were. Much has been said of communications made to the English Government; but I can declare that I communicated nothing but what I have already stated. That being done, we reserved to ourselves the office of transacting our own affairs. We willingly accepted the good offices of the agents of Eng land, but we did not ask for their interfere nce . Great dent for the French granting an indemnity to Mr. Prit chard. At the same time, however, that we agreed to this indemnity, it was expressly stipulated that it was not given on account of his expulsion, but merely in consequence of the harsh treatment to which he had been subjected. It would be weakness in them to deny that they were glad that this indemnity had been the means of removing the clouds which had hung over their relations with England, but they should at the same time have granted the indemnity had no political con siderations been connected with the affair. This, gen tlemen, is what I have t) say on the ensemble of the question. At a future time I shall inter more into de tails. I will now say a word as to the conduct of the English Government with regard to the affair of Mo rocco. It was made known to us how far its interests might be involved in it; it strengthened its force on that station, but at the same time kept it below our own, to make it apparent that it only sought to protect the legitimate interests of the country. This done, it entered into our complaints, and both at Tangier and elsewhere represented those complaints to be just, and our demands moderate; it did more, it tendered to us its good offices. In fine, the English Government accepted a situation which was difficult and delicate for it—that of being present and watching our success; and it had the good feeling to wait to see what we considered it just and proper to do. We well knew what were the feelings of England on the subject, but she demanded nothing of us. Do you imagine that, if affairs had been taken in another spirit, they would have taken the turn they have done? One word will serve to enlighten the Chamber on this point. I will quote a few words from a letter from Lord Aberdeen to the English Ambassador at Paris:—" My conviction is," writes the British Minister on this occasion, " that the sincere desire of the two Governments to culti vate the best and most cordial understanding renders it almost impossible that incidents of this nature, if they are viewed dispassionately, and treated in a spirit of justice and moderation, can ever lead to anything but an amicable and happy issue." This, gentlemen, is the feeling which characterises both the incident itself.and the reciprocal situation of the two Governments. In order that such incident should not carry in its train grave consequences, it was necessary that both Govern ments should act with a spirit of justice and moderation. M. Billault here demanded permission to speak. The Minister for Foreign Affairs —But there is some thing grander and more novel than this good intelli gence. France has often been at peace with England, but behind their outward show of friendship there always subsisted a jealous and hostile spirit of rivalry. The prosperity, progress, and activity of one of the Govern ments were a source of annoyance to the other. But this is no longer the case ; for both, acting in the plenti tude of their liberty, in place of being opposed as for merly, are able to aid each other. Such was the present opinion of the two Governments. There are then, I say, two Governments in Europe who consider it their duty to act towards each other in a particular way, and act so; they continually testify a mutual confidence in each other's intentions and acts, and the care of their gravest interests end neither in a rupture nor a coolness.— (Hear, hear.) The result, then, of all that I have just alluded to has been this—the King of the French went to England.—(Murmurs on the Left.) This result is not a conjectured one, but palpable and undoubted. It has been said that we have hurried on matters to admit of this visit. We precipitated nothing ; all were resolved maturely and independently; and when nothing more ex isted to embarrass the two Governments the King went to London. The propriety of this journey has certainly not been contested by any person, and its political utility cannot be impugned either. Although the personal inter course between Sovereigns is not at present so important as at other periods and under other forms of government, yet certainly they have a certain influence on the good accord of States and on the easy arrangement of affairs. You know the result of this visit, you have beheld the manifestations of the sentiments of the Queen of Eng. land, of her husband, of those of the whole country, towards the King and dynasty of July, towards France herself, towards our policy of peace and liberal conser vatism. Every one beheld this—Europe witnessed it— and do you suppose that the spectacle is without fruit? —that France was weakened or humiliated by these in cidents ? Ask where you please in Europe, and I will, beforehand, agree to accept the answer.—(Loud approba tion.) But what Europe witnessed and comprehended, France herself' also understood. I saw the King's re turn to France—l saw how he was everywhere welcomed —I saw a just pride displayed at the consideration with which he was greeted in England, and a just satisfaction at the removal of all difficulties between the two States. —(A. fresh burst of approbation.) I shall only add one word more on the question which has been alluded to so repeatedly in the course of our discussion —I mean the right of search. Ido not wish to give my words an extension beyond what facts will bear out. I do not say that this question is already settled, for the conviction of England was that it was the only means of putting down the slave trade, and you all know with what honourable perseverance that question was prose cuted in England. It was then necessary to prove to England that other means might be devised to effect the desired object. This was an immense step, and that step had been made by the nomination of the mixed commission. Believe me, this commission is not ap pointed to elude the question—the names of the persons appointed to compose it—taken as they are from the most considerable of the two countries—will be a proof of the contrary. Gentlemen, such is the position of affairs at present, and there is a vast distance from this lofty region to mere party struggles. In which of the two will the Chamber place itself ? Will it side with mere party squabbles, or will it take into account great public interests ? Such is the question which the dis cussion will resolve. I have placed it before you in all its truth. The Chamber must decide.—(Loud appro bation.) and efficient instruments were not wanting to effect what was wanted. Our land forces were commanded by an illustrious general, and we can say that Algeria was twice conquered by Marshal Bugeaud—onco in 1830, and again from 1841 to 1844. All the means of success were placed in the hands of the Marshal, and at the same time we advised the Crown to give the command of the fleet to the Prince de Joinville. This was as suming a grave responsibility, for it is always a grave matter to intrust a command and the termination of a political affair to a young Prince. It was greatly so at that particular juncture, for there is not one of you but is aware of the use—and allow me to say, of the abuse —made of the Prince de Joinville's pamphlet on the state of our navy. That publication was represented as a mark of against the Cabinet. The noble Prince had, in fact, been placed in a delicate situation, and we considered it our duty to afford him the first opportunity of proving his devotedness to the honour and dignity of the country, and at the same time his full knowledge of the policy which suited that country.—(Loud marks of approbation.) The Prince de Joinville, in publishing his note, had not intended anything else than to show himself a good citizen and a sound seaman. M. Dupin—Every one approved his conduct. The Minister for Foreign Affairs—l think M. Dupin cannot havo comprehended my words. When I said that the Prulce intended nothing but to act like a good citizen and a sound seaman, I evidently had the appear ance of speaking in terms of approbation ; but what I meant was, that his note was misrepresented, and a sense attributed to his words which they were not intended to bear. That was what I intended to say, and the appro bation of M. Dupin is not, therefore, necessary. The conduct of the Prince responded to the confidence of the Government ; but every one must see that the re sponsibility was grave for us, and that there was some merit in incurring it. This being done, our policy re specting Morocco clearly defined—all our measures taken to carry on our affairs ourselves—the commanders by sea and land placed in complete possession of all the means which they required—we conceived that the war ought to be carried on rapidly, and peace arrived at promptly. It has been said that we did this on account of Otaheite—the assertion is false. Were there not such a place as England in the world—had her interests not been in any way connected with those of Morocco—the simple fact of Algeria being deeply concerned in the mat ter would have rendered it our duty to arrive promptly at peace.—(Hear, hear.) I trust that M. Thiers, after what I have just said, will not reproach us for having paid undue attention to the legitimate interests of Eng land in this circumstance. I shall not at present enter into the consideration of the clauses of the treaty; they will be examined hereafter, when the paragraphs are brought forward. I only wanted to give the Chamber a general view of the manner in which the affair has been conceived and conducted. I now come to Otaheite, and oni that matter I have to say that there are several ques tions which the Hon. Deputy (M. Thiers), I will not say confounded, but mingled up together. There is first the occupation of the Marquesas ; I can say that this ques tion was discussed two years back at great length in this Chamber, and yet M. Thiers preserved silence. Why, if the taking possession of these islands appeared to him then an enormous blunder, did he not demand permission to speak, and declare it? I cannot but think that his ideas have become considerably modified since then, otherwise his silence would be inconceivable.— (Hear, hear.) But, however the Hon. Gentleman may have thought on the matter, the Opposition spoke, the Chamber heard them, and decided the question. The other Chi mber also did so, and it was in conse quence of the vote of the two Chambers that the expedition was proceeded with. The Hon. M. Thiers has confounded dates and facts. The Government never had an idea of possessing itself of Otaheite, and putting France and England in contact on that point. All it sought for was a desirable port in those seas. The admiral sent on that expedition had considered it his duty to assume the protectorate of Otaheite, of which no mention had been made in his in structions. Two reasons determined us not to refuse what the admiral had done, and the first reason was, that the protectorate of the island of Otaheite was of some importance to our establishment in the Marquesas, and the other, that we did not wish to see the French flag withdrawn immediately after its appearance. — (Marks of adhesion) This provisional protectorate, a protectorate not yet sanctioned by the Government, con tinued for fourteen months. It had, it is true, met with difficulties and embarrassments ; but there had not been anything like tumult or sedition ; everything went on regularly and peaceably. When, on the contrary, Ad miral Dupetit Thonars thought it his duty to convert the protectorate into a sovereignty, disturbances commenced. Thus, during the fourteen months of the protectorate, Mr. Pritchard, who was then at Otaheite, was unable to excite any insurrection; it was after the assumption of the sovereignty that he was able to do so. The Government, therefore, were not so much to blame when, after having accepted the protectorate, it refused the sovereignty ; the former appeared to it necessary to protect the interests of France, for which the latter was useless. I now come to the last incident, that of Mr. Pritchard. You will remember the strong sensation created in Eng land on the receipt of the news of his arrest ; this emo tion appeared to me to proceed from two causes—first, the quality of agent of the English Government, with which he was invested ; and, next, his religious charac ter. The conduct adopted by us in this matter was this —we first sought to establish the truth of the facts of the case ; to prove that Mr. Pritchard was not an official agent, but a simple foreigner, living under the protection of a law common to all. Had he been a consul, there would have been certain forms to be observed with re gard to him, when desiring his expulsion ; but he was not consul, and the truth of these facts we have been able to prove to the English Government. As to his re ligious character, we have also established that be has nothing to complain of at our hands ; we have proved that the most perfect religious liberty prevailed in Oceania. This was done, we remained quiet, in order to allow the angry feelings which had been raised in Eng land to subside. When the proper moment arrived to examine the affair to its foundation, what was the con duct of the Government ? We fully maintained the right of the French authorities at Otaheite to expel any foreigner who shall disturb public order. After having supported this right, we maintained that our agents at Otaheite had just reasons for using it ; and that they had acted properly in so doing. After this, we made the ad mission that some of the conduct used towards Mr. Pritchard was open to blame, and to be regretted, for it could not be admitted that French agents should, in any quarter of the globe, forget those maxims of equity and consistency which were the rule of all regular Govern ments.—(Exclamations on the Left.) Our conviction was, that in the arrest of Mr. Pritchard some of those maxims had been departed from, and I will explain in what those acts consisted. Without entering into any irritating details, we considered that although there was enough in the circumstances of the case to warrant the authorities in taking every measure for their safety, yet that it was unnecessary to keep Mr. Pritchard in soli tary confinement for eight days, and prevent his seeing even his wife and children. We thought that it was neither just nor proper to use more severity than was really necessary. We considered that the step which had been ordered by the admiral on his arrival at Ota heite six days after should have been done at the time, viz., to compel Mr. Pritchard to leave the island. In saying this I do not mean to shelter the Government be hind the Governor of Otaheite, for that would be neither honourable nor just. They had no such intention. M. de Bruat was one of its most intelligent and bravest officers. He every day gave proofs of thrt. We have admitted that there were certain points connected with this affair for which it was honourable in us to express our regret and our disapproval, and we, at the same time, thought that there might exist reasons why a pecuniary indemnity should be granted.—(alnrniurs on the Left.) The Chamber sees that I do not avoid any point con nected with the question.—(Approbation.) Indepen dently of the rules of which I have spoken, there is a fact of which I will remind the Chamber. Some years before this affair two French Catholic missionaries had been ex pelled from Otaheite. Those missionaries bad gone to that island under a Government which forbad any preach ing contrary to the established religion of the State.— (Movement.) The will of Queen Pomare is t he charter of that country. The missionaries who went to preach at Otaheite acted at variance wish that_ law, and it was in virtue of it that they were expelled from the island. Violence had, it is true, been used towards them, but two years after Admiral pt4petit , Thouarsh4d de ritandsid and received an indemnity of 2,500 piastres for the treatment they bad experienced. The admiral was perfectly right in what he did, but it served as a prate. SITTING OP JAN. 22, The discussion on the Address was resumed to-day. M. Bechard, in opposing the Address, said that he was equally an enemy to the line of policy pursued by the present Ministry and to that professed by the party of M. Thiers, neither of which deserved the name of a na tional policy, as understood by the party of which he was a member. The commercial interests of the coun try were, he considered, sacrificed to the English alliance. M. Dupin, sen., in alluding to the questions of Morocco and Otaheite,_ stated his opi n i on th a t on ne ith er o f t h ose points had the dignity of the country been properly pro tected. He condemned the Ministry for not obtaining an indemnity from the Emperor of Morocco for the ex penses of the war, and accused them of sullying the honour of France by the haste in which the treaty had been ratified. The conduct of the Government at Otaheite, he maintained, was also dishonourable to France, as their flag should never have been withdrawn. If the agents of the Govern ment had acted right in expelling Pritchard from the island, what cause was there for blaming them, and granting an indemnity? This could only have been done by way of a peace-offering to England, and he trusted the Chamber would never give its sanction. With regard to the measure which the Government had declared it had adopted of a mixed commission to seek means to obviate the necessity for the right of search, he thought the idea perfectly illusory. The measure of a mixed commission had been designated by the Minister as a grand pas ; in his (M. Dnpin's) opinion it was a faux pas. He was an advocate of peace, but he would not that everything should be conceded to one ally, and refused to another. His motto was, each for himself, and each at home. He preferred it to an alliance with England, if it was to be paid for at the high price placed on it. After brief speeches from M. Iferbert and others, the Chamber divided on the first and main paragraph, when Ministers had a majority of 28. IGE.—(YESTERDAY.) Gibraltar.. Leghorn Genoa Milan ..... ...... Venice .......

OF SPAIN. 3,Bolton•row, March 15, 1844. My Lord,—May liequest the favour of an interview at your earliest convenience, being the bearer of a letter from his Royal Highness the Infante Don Carlos, which I am instructed to place in your Lordship's own hands, and which is of the highest importance to the futon tranquillity of Spain ?—I have the honour to be, m 7 Lord, your Lordship's most obedient servant, RANELAGH. In consequence of this note I had two interviews with Lord Aberdeen, the result of which will be found in the letters following : LORD RANELAGH TO LORD ABERDEEN. May 26, 1844. My Lord,—On the 17th of March last J had the honour of submitting to your Lordship, on the part of Don Carlos, certain propositions with which I hut been intrusted by that Prince. Your Lordship admitted the importance of the ivo posals, and I had the satisfaction of being assured th.. 14 they should be referred to Madrid, whence an answer might be expected in ten or twelve days. On the 17th of April following I had received no communication from your Lordship, and I again solicited an interview. .1 had the honour of attending your appointment accord , ingly on the 19th, when you postponed your decision until the arrival of a messenger from Madrid, expected on the Wednesday or Thursday following. On the Ist of May, being still without your Lord ship's commands, I informed you by my note of that date that I was under engagements to leave London for Bourges in too days, and begged a few minutes' inter view before starting. To that note I received no reply. On the evening of the 2d I called at the Foreign-office, where I learned from your message that your Lordship was engaged, but that you might possibly see me on your return from the House of Lords. I replied that, being myself engaged, I could not return on that possi bility ; and, having deferred my departure as long as possible, I started the next evening (the 3d inst.) fur Bourges, without any communication whatever from your Lordship. I have ventured to recal these circumstances. I now take the liberty of asking you for a positive answer. I have the honour, &c. RANELAG H. LORD ABERDEEN TO LORD RANZLAGH. Foreign-office, May 27, 1844. My Lord,—Your Lordship delivered to me in the month of March a letter from Don Carlos. . . . I informed your Lordship at the time, and without hesitation, that I would give no encouragement to these propositions, and that in my opinion, as far as I under stood them, they were entirely impracticable. Never theless, as we had no desire to pronounce any authorita tive judgment upon this question, and as the decision re specting the Queen's marriage belonged to Spain alone, I promised to bring under the consideration of the Spa nish Government the overture of Don Carlos, and to inform you of the result. I wrote accordingly to Mr. Bulwer without delay ; and I also communicated what had taken place to the French Government. The next time I had the pleasure of seeing you, al though I was enabled to state to you that the opinion of the French Government was entirely in conformity with my own, I was not in possession of any intelligence from Madrid upon the subject; indeed, up to this moment I have received no communication from the Spanish Go vernment. I hare not thought it necessary to instruct her Ma jesty's Minister to press for any precise or definite answer from the Spanish Government. In truth, none such could, perhaps, have been expected. The proposi tions of Don Carlos were so vague as not to be very in telligible; and, indeed, I do not now fully comprehend whether his Royal Highness intended to abandon his own pretensions, and those of the Prince his son, to the erown of Spain, or whether this concession was limited to his own person. At all events, the propositions, ex plained verbally by your Lordship, could only be con sidered as informal and unofficial Under these circumstances, your Lordship will per ceive that I am not in a condition to give you the positive answer you require in the letter which I have had the honour of receiving from you this day. ABERDEEN. LORD RANELAGH TO LORD ABERDEEN. May 28, 1844. My Lord,—l deeply regret that your Lordship did not, by granting the interview which I solicited previ ously to my departure for Bourges, render it unnecessary for me to seek, by my last letter, the answer which I might then clearly have obtained, and to offer the re joinder which it now becomes my duty to make. The object of Don Carlos was to obtain, by the friendly mediation of your Lordship, the adoption of measures calculated to insure the pacification of Spain. Such measures could not, in the opinion of his Royal High ness, be effectual, nor command the assent of all parties-, unless they involved a compromise between the male and female lines in the blood royal. The propositions which I had the honour of submit ting to )our Lordship rested upon this principle. But your Lordship remarks that the " propositions of Don Carlos are so vague as not to be very intelligible," and you assign this as a reason why you deem it unneces sary to press for " any express or definite answer from Madrid." The suggestions of Don Carlos were, it is true, capable of modifications, according to the circumstances of the case, but these modifications lay, all of them within limits, which, however ample, were very clearly defined, and the entire plan was based upon a foundation no less simple and intelligible than the marriage of the present Queen of Spain to the Prince of the Asturias. If details were left open, it was that the path to a. settlement so important should be unembarrassed and free; and Don Carlos was willing, on the principles which I have here set forth, and within the limits which I had the honour clearly and fully to describe to your Lordship, to abide by the decision of the English Government. RANELAGIL LORD ABERDEEN TO LORD RANELAGII. Foreign-office, June 3, 1844. Your Lordship appears to be surprised that I should have described the propositions of Don Carlos as being " vague and not very intelligible;" but I cantruly say that. I thought I had formerly made this opinion sufficiently obvious to your Lordship, and had expressed it accord ingly. Indeed, I feel this to be so much the case, that I am, even now, entirely at a loss to understand them with any degree of precision. I am aware that the propositions involve some personal concessions on the part of Don Carlos and the marriage of his son with the Queen of Spain. But what may be the extent of the concessions which he is disposed to make, and whether the renunciation of his pretensions to the Crown of Spain be absolute, or only conditional upon the marriage of his son, I have no knowledge whatever • neither do I know on w h at f oot i ng the mar. riage itself was proposed, and in what character the young Prince was to be regarded. If the pretensions of Don Carlos were merely to be transferred to his son, so far from such a marriage tending to the " pacification of Spain," in my opinion it would be much more likely to bring civil war into the palace, as well as to spread it throughout the country. The propositions, as verbally explained by your Lord ship, and so far as I understand them, were not mate rially different from those which at various times have been made to her Majesty's Government from other quarters, although not with the same direct authority of Don Carlos himself. To all these suggestions, but without interfering in any degree with the free decision of the Spanish Government, I have always expressed myself as decidedly adverse ; because, it appears to me that, instead of leading to the union of different parties in the State, they would practically recognise and esta blish the existence of hostile principles in Spain, and would bring into direct collision the two systems of de spotic and constitutional government in that country. Notwithstanding these opinions, I feel it to be my duty to make known to the Spanish Government the overture of Don Carlos, so far as I could collect its im port from your Lordship's statements, but without offer ing any advice or recommendation, and leaving that Go vernment to deal with it as they might think proper. ABERDEEN. LORD RANELAGIX TO LORD ABERDEEN. Nov. 22, 1844. My Lord,—On the 17th of March last, and again on the 20th of April following, I had the honour of refer ring your Lordship to special instructions which Lord misconstruction, Palmerston had conveyed to some of her Majesty's Mi nisters abroad, respecting myself ; and I explained the% those instructions prohibited my presentation at tha r , •._,- of the Sovereigns, at some of the most important of those ssrencetihveadCtohuerthsewnehnerreefthbeeyinrgepardeead.entedlnas, by y u t e h h e f e L r i n l nm t aanyde Courts, Ido not know that any practical inconvenience can occur to me from Lord Palmerston's inhibition ; but, g a o n t d te e n d ) . so liable to as I observed to your Lordship, I was, and am, most de sirous that orders, in themselves so unjust, and (should I trust, therefore, I am not now premature ' in hoping that I no longer remain under an ap parent • stigma, east upon me only on account of my firm attachm ent b u e nte f r o m r prin ciples so long and so ably maintain e d by to sthheoiurldcabueseco and the leading Members a he your Lor hip ministration. r Majesty s present Ad- RANELAGEL c?'

On referring to the records of this office I find that the instructions in question were not called for by any principles or opinions entertained by your Lordship, but were issued because, after having joined the army of Don Carlos, you " had actually taken part in operations in the course of which the Carlists were engaged with a portion of the British co-operating force, in the neigh— bourhood of Bilboa." For this cause, also, your Lordship was forbidden t 1.3 appear at the Court of his late Majesty. I know not what are the principles to which 7 / our Lordship alludes, as having been maintained by nye and by other members of her Majesty's Administration ; but if they have any relation to the supposed right of Dots Carlos to the Crown of Spain, I think it prVer to tn. form you that I have never , on any occasl_,Val, expressed PUBLICATIONS DECISIONS OF OFFICIAL REFEREES.

"We regard the work before us, the silent Friend,' as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by a utajority of the me dical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must however confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."—Age and Argus. The authors of the ' Silent Friend' seem to be thoroughly con versant with the treatment of a class of complaints, which are, we fear, toe prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fall to recommend to it a careful perusal."—Era.

DECLARATION OF THE GUARDIANS OF BRENT, DEVON. ITALSE'S SCORBUTIC DROPS. A SURE CURE FOR RAD LEGS. The following ease has excited so much interest, that the Guardians of the parish of Brent, Devon, have comidere 1 it their duty to sign their names to the accompanying important declaration : We, the undersigned, solemnly declare that before Thomas Ro nne, one of our parishioners, commenced taking Halse's Scorbutic Drops," he was literally covered with large running wounds (some of them so large that a person might have laid his fist in them) ; that before he had finished the first bottle he noticed an improvement, and that by continuing them for some time, he got completely restored to health, after everything else had failed. He h a d t r i e d various sorts of medicines before taking 6 , Halse's Scorbutic Drops,' and had prescriptions from the most celebrated physicians in this country, without deriving the least benefit. Ha se's Scorbutic Drops," have co opletely cured him, and he is now enabled to attend to his labour as well as any man in our parish. From other cures also made in this part, we strongly recommend " Halse's Scorbutic Drops" to the notice of the public. Signed by John Elliott, sen., Lord of the Manor, John Manning, William Pearce, Henry Goodman, Arthur Langworthy. June 21, 1943. The above.mentioned Thomas Rolins was quite incapable of doing any kind of work whatever before he commenced taking those Drops. Some of his wounds were so large, that it was most awful to look at them, and the itching and pain of the wounds generally were mo't dreadful; indeed, the poor fellow could be heard screeching by passers by, both day and night, for sleep was entirely out of the ques tion. He was reduces to mere skin and bone, and daily continued to get weaker, so that there was every probability of his speedy death. Read the following extract from the " Nottingham Review" " IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD LEGS TH &e.E CAUSE OF SCURVY, B AD , It is really astonishing that so many persons should be content to be afflicted with scurvy, wounds in the legs, &c., when it is a well ascertained fact that Halse's Scorbutis - , Drops' make the disease vanish like snow before the sun No one is better enabled to judge of the value of a medicine as to its effects on the bulk of the people than a vendor of the article ; and as vendors of this medicine we can conscientiously recommend it to our friends, for there is scarcely a day passes but we hear some extraordinary accounts of it ; indeed, we have known ponies who have tried other advertised medicines without the least success, and yet on resorting to this preparation the now justly celebrated' Halsp's Scorbutic Drops,' the disease has yielded as if by magic.

The COMMITTEE of this RA ILWAI are happy to announce that the Board of Trade have declared their intention to report to Parlia ment in favour of the undertaking, as well as of the Staines and Richmond Junction, and the Metropolitan Extension of the South Western Railway. Thus the Richmond Company will have access to an excellent terminus in the metropolis, and also derive a large additional amount of traffic from the line to Staines. Active negotiations are in progress with the landowners and hold ers of property en the Lee for the purchase of the ground necessary for the purposes of the railway; and in far the majority of cases a highly satisfactory prospect exists of the respective treaties being con cluded upon fair and amicable terms. 113- an agreement entered into with the Directors of the Fouth- Western Company, the executton of the most expensive portion of th• line originally adopted by the Richmond will be transferred to the aforesaid Company ; who have also agreed to furnish the locomotives, carriages, and working plant of the railway. The terminus of the line will be that selected by the South-Western Company for their metropolitan extension, namely, a point situate in immediate proximity to the entrance of the Ilungerford Suspension Bridge, on the Surrey side. The easy nature of the works to be accomplished on their part of the line, which presents no features whatever that can occasion diffi culty or delay in their construction, has enabled the Committee to enter into arrangements, by which the completion of the whole line will be effected within the period of ten months after the Act shall have been obtained.
