The Royal Assent was given to•day by commission to :he following public and private Bills: Judges of Assize. Pirates Head Money Repeal. Greenwich Hospital Improvement. Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway. Firth and Clyde Navigation. Guardian Fire and Lite Assurance. South• Eastern Railway (Amendments of Acts, Power to raise Additional Capital). Railway Companies' Clearing. Childwall Associative Waterworks. London and Blackwall Railway. Waterford and Limerick Railway. New North Road (Amendment of the Act of last Session) Dumfries and Maxwell Town Waterworks. Cobbe's Divorce. The Lords Commissioners were Lord Langdale, the Earl of Minto, and Earl Granville. Their Lordships then resumed. Lord STANLEY presented petitions against any com promise on the Ten Hours Bill as at present advised; he saw no reason for the compromise, and ho should support the amendment of his Noble Friend for restoring the Ten Hours Bill; also a petition against beer shops; and a petition from Preston, praying for an Act of in corporation. Lord WHARNCLIFFE denied that the new Factory Bill was intended to obviate a mere technical objection. Its object was to make the Bill of 1847 workable. Lord STAN LEY contended that it was intended merely to remove a technical difficulty. POST-OFFICE SUNDAY REGULATIONS. The Earl of CHICHESTER presented a petition against Post-office labour on Sunday. Lord BROUGHAM had received several letters this day from persons, complaining of the incon venience that had arisen from the abolition of Post office delivery on Sunday. In one of these cases a great additional labour on the Sunday bad been the consequence. At Castleton, in Derbyshire. in consequence of the non-dispatch of letters between three o'clock on Saturday and three o'clock on Monday. a manufacturer, whose waggoner had been killed on -Saturday, the owner of the waggon had been obliged to dispatch a special messenger to Leeds, to Manchester, and to various other places, so that instead of a letter going to each of these places various men were obliged to be dispatched to various places, and in every part of the kingdom the last Sunday had been compulsorily desecrated, because the rost-office would not deliver letters on Sunday. All merchants having bills owing at Liverpool were com pelled to dispatch 50 or 60 clerks on Sunday to Lon don to meet their bills on Monday, instead of three or four Post-office clerks being employed on that day, and thus the desecration of the Sabbath was forced on the merchants and their clerks. SHERIFF OF WESTMORLAND BILL. _ _ _ The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved the third reading of this Bill, which authorised her Majesty to appoint the sheriff of Westmorland. The shreivalty of Westmorland had been hereditary in the family of the Earl of Thanet ; tbat earldom was now in abeyance, and it was not probable that the hereditary shreivalty would revive ; and, therefore, this Bill authorized her Majesty to appoint the sheriffs. Lord REDESDALE moved the insertion of certai❑ words, which would cave any contingent rights of par ties to the hereditary shreivalty. Lord BROUGHAM. wished the Bill to pass, as it went to remedy a great inconvenience. Lord CAMPBELL supported the Bill. He con sidered it most inexpedient that the office of hereditary sheriff should continue, and be denied that any injury was done by this Act to any individual. After a few words from Lord REDESDALE, the Bill was read a third time and passed. DRAINAGE (IRELAND) BILL. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE gave notice that ho should move the suspension of the Standing Orders, in order to expedite the progress of this Bill. LEASEHOLD TENURE OF LAND (IRELAND) BILL. Lord BEAUMONT moved the committal of this BiE (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock. PETITIONS. Mr. CUBITT presented a petition from Andover against certain clauses in the Savings Bank Bill. Colonel SIBTLIORP presented a similar petition from Lincolnshire. _ Lord HOTHAM, Mr. GoULBURN, and several other Hon. Members presented petitions to a similar effect. Sir J. TYRELL presented Several petitions from Essex praying for the repeal of the malt-tux. Mr. W. MILES presented a petition from a place in Saint rsetshire in favour of the County Courts Bill. Mr. COWAN presented a petition from the memLers of the Edinburgh Stock Exchange against the Stamp Duties Bill. THIRD READINGS The following Bills were then read a third time:— Cork Docks and Harbour Improvement. East of Fife Railway. Hartlepool West Harbour and Docks. West Cornwall Railway. The Manchester Bonding Bill was road a second time, Lord D. STUART presented a petition from the inha bitants of Paddington in • favour of the Copyhold En franchisement Bill. some trees had been cut down, and others planted in Hyde-park by the directions of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. As respected the other quesuou, he was not aware that the House was at all concerned i❑ the cutting down of those trees. Colonel SIBTHORY was sorry to say that the answer he had got was a very unsatisfactory one. COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS. Lord DUNCAN said he had felt it his duty to call at the office of the Commissioners of Sewers in Greek-street, Soho, where he found that no entry had been made in the minute book of the Commissioners since the Bth February last. He wished to ask the Noble Lord at the head of the Commission why that was? Lord EBRINGTON si4id he had ascertained that though the formal minute book was entered up from time to time, and only from time to time as best suited the convenience of the office—(Laughter)—yet the mi nutes of the Board were nevertheless kept, and be had recently seen one in print, which was passed so recently as the 4'h June instant.—(Laughter.) Lord DUNCAN asked it the minutes were printed lefore they were entered in the minute book? Lord EBRINGTON said that was so with respect to the minute book, which the Noble Lord had inspecied at the office. THE ORION STEAM-PACKET. In answer to Mr. OS ALD, The LORD ADVOCATE said that with respect to the late accident to the Orion steam-packet, he had Lund it necessary to institute a prosecution against the master and second mate of that vessel. THE POST-OFFICE. Mr. HUME wished to know whether there was any accuracy in the report, that it was not possible for her Majesty's Government to do away with Posh office re gulations without an Act of Parliament? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he thought the question was founded on the suppo sition that the delivery of letters on Sunday was impe- rative, which was not the case. Mr. HILDYARD wished to know if Government de cided on delivering letters on only three days in the week, whether such a course would be legal ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER declined to answer the question at present. i 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 opinion 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 be subjects fur a special pleader in another place, but as he took it the House of Commons Lad a different 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 pulley 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, u mere automaton, whose hands were directed and moves made by the unseen and wily influence of a foreign Minister.—(hear, hear.) It was not that they had to give a 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.) Ho 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 Hun. 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, weold 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 House, and like well-bred spaniels, barked at a Govern ment which they feared to bite.—(Laughter and cheers.) He did expect that some one among that party would have come boldly forward with a vote of censure, and arraigned the Noble Lord at the head of Foreign Affairs before his colleagues, 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 whom 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 natione, but to peril the peace of the world; but what was his conduct? For four years he had been content to sit in the House without ever once raising his voice against the policy—(Loud cheers end 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 Hoe. lien tlemau (Sir James Graham), who spoke last night, said he rose to address the House with great reluctance, but neither iu 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 Eight Honourable Gentleman professed friendship for the Noble Lord, of those mighty animals of the desert—those large serpents which covered their victims with saliva 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 "The sweet little cherub which sits up aloft, To keep watch for the life of poor duet." —(Laughter, in which Lord J. Russell heartily joined.) Thu Right Lion. 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.—(Bear, hear.) But the Right Hon. Ba ronet dissents from the Spanish policy of the Noble Lord, andhis conduct on that question was equslly 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 he damned the Minister with faint praise, and allowed the resolution to pass by Oiliest unnoticed.—(Hear, hear.) Last night, however, the Right Hon. Baronet, passing in review the policy of 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 1848?—(Chests.)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.) Ile 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 Hon. Baronet pursue on this last occasion ? He well remembered that there were three night's debate, but on the third night, 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 the fourth night, when the Right lion. Raronet the Member for Ripton was accused of having connived at the counting out of the House. He defended himself, and, in a most remarkable speech, he said " So far trom my wishing to shark the discussion on this question, I conscientiously, thoroughly, and entirely approve of the policy of the Government—(Cheers) — and had I been present in my place I should have given my honest vote in support of Ministers.—(Cheers.) And yet they found the Right Hon. Bart. two years afterwards coming down to the House and saying, "I always had a suspicion of your policy. I think you are an excellent good friend and a kind Christian, but you are a dan gerous Foreign Minister, and you must be got rid of."— (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) He said nothing of the candour of the Right Hun. Baronet in pursuing such a course,—be 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 eonsidsr this treatment of the Noble Lord on thi occasion to be savouring rather of the Jesuitical et'usio of Muscovitechicanery—(oll,ol3) rather than un honest, open, candid conflict, between two English parties. — (Hear.) But what he was really surprised a', was the fact of the Right Hon. Baronet having quoted a pemphlet written by the son-in-law of the Duc de Broglie with regard to our Swiss intervention, a hich they all knew contained not one but many inaccuracies.— (Hear, hear.) He also west into the subject of the fleet at the Darde 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 ratty in England was caught by stray votes thrown out one night on the subject of the Irish 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 deservinr, the name of the Libe ral party in that House.—(Hear, hear.) The Right Hon. Baronet was like Colobs in search (,f a party. — (Laughter.) 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 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 at fairs of the Porte, on 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 Greeka were so great. That opinion respecting the Greeks had also been corroborated by the French Ad miral. Such was the race for which we fancied w e were setting up a constitutional Government ; and what was the natural consequence ? Why, that we wer e now obliged to correct the spoiled child of our adoption, to whom bad thus been given the character of injured innocence , realising the character of Juvenal— " logeniam velox, audacia perdita, ernao promptus." Altering the quotation, he might say that in this case— " Base was the Stute that paid."—(Laughter.) 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 niad or put off to that imaginary period called the Greek kalendi. A miserable Hugh bad been raised :in the other House by the mention of the inventors nor would the Noble Lord have liked, if his own house ha I been plundered and the inventory of his daughter's effects brought out in the House of Commons. But what' was the real case about Pacifico ; it had not been let out yet, not oven in any blue book. He had purchased lands, audhadonlyrecei strong partpayment of them; and it was not until a few rather 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, la fair, it was one of those houses built after the Con stantinoplo style, at which the head of the Regency had lived, and at which Oth o him s elf had not disdained to dance at a ball, for whi c h h e was much bettor qualified than reigning. Tho Hon. Gentleman opposite had talked of seeking redress at the local tribunals, but did they know that lu,ng', they j u d ges o f those courts were rento ruble at the pleasure, and no later than 1847 the President of the Areiopagus had been removed by the King, though a gentleman of high un blemished character. The Honourable Gentleman must have forgotten their Greek or be entirely ign orant of the tireelc Constitution. With tegard to the case of M r . Finlay, ho was not going to drag the House through blue books. It wa s sufficient to know that a personhad been defrauded and plundered, and to know that he was a British subject, to afford him protection and to seek redress. No notice had been taken on the other side of the House of the numerous instances which had been mentioned by the lion. and Learned Member for Bath of similar claims made by •the French Government in Portugal in 1831, at Naples in 1848. But what was the reason of the unconquerable hostility shown to L the Noble Lord? It was because his name was identified with the responsible Government and with the advance of liberal opinions It he had allowed himself to be persuaded by Metter nich, or other foreign Ministers, to intercept the letters of foreign subjeets, the case would have been different. but the Noble Lord had not been guilty of opening let t rs; his was a greater crime, and the indictment against him contained many coun's. He (Lord Palmerston) had deferred Constitutional Government in Spain; he bad 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 Archimede 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 upon 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 in the saloons of Paris but in the bureaux of London, not excluding those ladies who cultivated a taste for politics and were all things to all men .—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) lie neither trusted or confided in the party of the Right Hon.

He looked upon the vote on this motion as ono on which the interests of England wore at stake, and he supported the motion of the Hon. and Learned Member for Sheffield with the greatest pride and pleasure.—(The Hon. and Gallant Member then sat down amidst the most tremen dous cheering.)

Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY gave notice that, on Tuesday, the 16th of July, he should move that the House do resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House to take into consideration the Act of 11 and 12 c. 97, with a view to prevent the expiration of the differential duties on foreign and slave-grown sugar in 1854. THE ROYAL ASSENT. Mr. PurLAor, the Deputy-Usher of the Black Rod, entered the House and, advancing to the table, sum moned the House to attend the House of Peers to hear the royal assent given by Commissio❑ to several Bills (for which see Lords' report). The SPEAKER then left the House, accompanied by several Members. On bis return he read over the list of Bills which had received the assent of her Majesty. THE POST-OFFICE. Mr. LOCKE gave notice that it was his intention to bring forward his motion, relative to the delivery of letters on Sunday or:on Tuesday, the 9th of July. THE COURT' OF CHANCERY.

TREES IN HYDE-PARK. Colonel SIB fIIORP rose to ask the Attorney- General whether he could inform the house and the country by whose authority and directions the nine trees out of the t,,n previously marked to be cut down in Hyde park had been cut down, and whether this act had been constitutionally exercised in the grounds which have been for so many years maintained out of the public purse, and by successive ♦otes of the house of Commons for that purpose? Also, whether this power is limited, or to what extent it may be carried, and for what special purposes, and if for what is termed a Commission to afford accommodation for foreign markets, and the im portation or warehousing of foreign goods? Lord JOHN RUSSELL (in the absence of the Attorney-General) said with respect to the first question, ~., - ADVANCES BILL. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved the order of the day for the second reading of this Bill. He said, the amount which had already bet n spent in drainage had produced a most beneficial effect, not only in the improvement of the land, but in the industrial babita of the people; and he had every reason for believing that the Le nefits which would result from this Bill would be great~ as regarded both these points. The Earl of LONSDALE expressed a qualified approval cf the Bill. He thought the advances ought to he confined to works of drainage only. The Earl of LUCAN thought that much benefit would arise from making advances for other works connected with the land than mere drainage. Lord BEAUMONT admitted that advances for drain age stood on somewhat a different footing from ads asces for farm buildings, inasmuch as buildings did not in crease the productiveness of the land, while drainage did. Formerly, he had expressed an opinion that the ad vances ought to be confined to drainage purposes, but he thought Ireland in that respect ought to be an excep tion. In that country large districts, deserted by a miserable tenantry, had fallen into the possession of the landlords, and unless they were assisted and encouraged to erect buildings, the land would remain unimproved, and, it might be, uncultivated. Under these circumstances, he thought it would be desirable to make advances for other than drainage works in Ire land. At the same time, he thought some control would have to be exercised to prevent jobbing or mis appropriation. After a few words from the Earl of GLENGALL, The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that he knew great improvements had been checked from the inability of proprietors to provide the necessary farm buildings. In Ireland, more especially, such buildings were parti cularly requisite at the present moment, in consequence of the great change that was going on in the consolida tion of small farms. Every application, whether for drainage or for building advances, would be brought under the consideration of the Board of Works, who would entertain no application for building advances un less satisfied such buildings were necessary. The Marquis of WESTMEATH thought it was idle to hope for much improvement so long as the present weight of poor-rates existed. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Thursday. Their Lordships than adjourned. 170 USE OF COMMONS, June 24. FOREIGN POLICY.—MR. ROEBUCK'S MOTION, On the motion for reading the orders of the day. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that as the Hon. and Learned Member for Sheffield had given notice of a mo tion for to-night, he was quite ready to move that the orders of the day should be postponed. At the same time, as the Government wished that a full and fair discussion should take place on the subject, he should leave it to the Hon. Gentlemen who had amend ments upon the motion to say what course they would pursue. Mr. ANSTEY intimated that he should not press his amendment. Mr. HUME said he should exercise his own discre tion upon the subject. Mr. ROEBUCK then moved: "That the principles on which the foreign policy of her Majesty's Government have been regulated have been such as were calculated to maintain the honour and dignity of this country, and in times of unexampled difficulty to preserve peace be tween England and the various nations of the world." He said it was his duty towards the House to offer an explanation of the reason why he made this motion. In his opinion, a Government constituted like ours, a large portion of whose policy had been condemned by one great branch of the Legislature, was unable to main tain the interests of this country intact, and to consult the great interests of the people of England, or to hold the reins of power, without affording any explanation to the other House. When any one portion of our Legislature bad expressed an opinion so direct and so plain, it became the duty of this House to ascertain what was the conduct to be pursued by the Go vernment of the country, and to express their opi nion upon the same point. He was quite prepared to admit that no Government was called upon to resign upon a vote of the House of Lords. lie quite agreed with the Noble Lord in that.—(Hear, hear.) But iu a constitution like ours, in which it was thought necessary to have a House of Lords, when they had explained their own feelings, it was right that this House should step forward and say what the people of England thought upon the matter. If the Noble Lord had determined after that re solution to go on with the Administration, and had permitted the matter to drop without any fur ther inquiry, the present Government would be like Governments he bad seen supported by opinion which was scarcely an opinion, and impotent as regarded the country and Europe in general. It was for this reason that he had come forward upon the recent occasion, and he was sure no one was more desirous fur an ex planation than the Noble Lord himself.—(Hear, hear.) He would now address himself to the question be fore the House. The House of Lords, in that mode which suited their peculiar habits, had, in as strong a phrase as was generally used in that House, made a p l a i n , simple, and clear declaration, condemning the foreign policy of the Government.—(Hear, hear.) Notwithstanding the nisi prius fashion in which the whole matter was considered by the House of Lorda—(Hear)— iu spite of all the small technicalities which would have made the fortune of a young man at a quarter sessions, or in the Queen's Bench, while investigating an affidavit— in spite, be would say, of the mode in which the proposi tion was dealt with in the Houseof Lords, it amounted to a condemnation, in general terms, of the spirit and foreign policy which had been adopted by the Government. in coming to the consideration of this subject he confessed he was inclined to come to a favourable conclusion re.: specting the Noble Lord who was at the head of the foreign policy in this country, bat it was not to be understood that tie expected a blind feeling of approbation with re spect to the Noble Lord, for he had as • frequently as any other Member quarrelled with particular acts of his policy. He agreed entirely with the prin ciple of the Noble Lord's policy, though in many instances he had seen much to lament and deprecate. The foreign policy of every Government, he appre hended, affected two classes of people—those who re garded individual rights and wrongs, and those who re garded the general interest, dignity, and honour of their country. Ile believed, as regarded individual rights and wrongs in_referenee to foreign nations, the object of the Noble Lord had been to extend the protection and shield of England to her wandering sons, who were carried by commerce, or pleasure, or necessity, to various regions of the world—to extend over them as much as the rules of civilized nations would permit the broad shield of English pro teetion.—(Cheers.) Whether they went to the despotic country of Russia, the free country of America, or to the confines of any power, insignificant or helpless, with regard to the interests of this country as a people, he believed the policy of the Noble Lord had been in the first place to maintain the peace of the world —(Cheers)—not by truckling to despotism—(Cheers)— but by teaching all foreign countries with whom we had any relations, that England, as far as could be permitted by the rules which regulated international communica tion, would bring the great moral power of her name to the maintaining of, constitutional liberty, as against treachery on the one hand or despotism on the other.—(Cheers.) lie could not suppose that there could be a Minister in this country who was the advocate of legitimacy, which, after all was another, though a softened expression of a much harder thing, the object of which was to make tyranny safer in Europe. (Hear, hear.) He believed these antagonistic principles were now on their trial.—(Hear, hear.) He believed the House of Commons was now called upon to decide not the Ministerial existence, for that, as far as he was concerned, mattered mighty ittle—(A laugh)—but upon those two principles, that was, whether England should oppose or support despotism—should oppose or sup port abroad the principle of the Government that prevailed at home?—(Cheers.) England did not seek by polemical force to thrust its pro poations upon any people, but it did seek by its moral influence—which was every day growing in Europe, which had already shattered down many thrones, and would shatter down some that still existed, to extend peace and civilization—to say to the world, " We are favourable to those splendid truths which in the hands of enlightened and confident men have made nations great and people happy."—(Cheers.) He looked at the large results which had followed that policy since the Noble Lord had held office, and taking those large results, what did he find? Let him com pare, in a fcw words, the results of the policy that had been pursued by England from the year 1830 to the pre sent time with the results of the policy which was pur sued by England from 1790 to 1815 —(Hear.) In 1789 first broke out that grand result, which he said was the increased enlightenment if Europe against despotism. In 1789 commenced the French Revolution, and the whole result of that event depended upon the view which Eng land took of what was even then called legitimacy. The Governments of Europe took the side of the Legi timatists, and unfortunately England supported them. The consequences might be seen, might be read in the most terrible conflicts that ever disgraced the history of man.—(Hear, hear.) Blood was shed like water, and wealth scattered about with an extravagance the lik e of which no record exists—(Hear, hear) — in the annals of any nation on the face of the earth.— (Hear.) From 1789 to 1815 all the great bonds that cemented nations together were broken up—nations were separated into enemy and enemy, and relations of users kind depended upon force—he who was the migh , tiest in .the field was alone to be respected.—(Rear.)

At last, the buck) believed that to have been the type of the Noble man tired of making importunity, does what he is Per Lord's government. On a sudden that House had been fectly entitled to do, and as he read the policy of Eng: surprised by a revolution in Greece. There were three land so I read it—as he read the duty of the Noble Lord parties to that revolution. There was Greece, which rce so I read it—he applied to Lord Aberdeen to intercede presented the despotism of Europe on the one hand, and with the Greek Government to obtain for him paymen t France and England on the other. In Greece he found of his land. The first thing Lord Abeideen does is to a monarch coming from Bavaria and educated in a sma German Court. He (Mr. Roebuck) felt degraded when he saw the name of England prostituted in such a discussion. He wanted no representative in the shape of an ambassador to protect our interests at fo reign courts, hut the great name of England instead. The French wishing to get rid of that which did not represent the French people, which did not represent French feelings, which was simply a band of men who were gathered together for a special end and purpose, one set working under-hand and over-hand, for the purposes of legitimate monarchy, and another set, under the form and semblance and prostituted mime of order, endeavouring to maintain their own individual mi nisterial existence—these were the men who had been aided by the worst of men, the wild band of men, who, under the shield of Liberty, endeavour to introduce their wild anarchichal ideas into society—the Socialists and Communists of France. These were the men who had lent their aid to the monarchical party, who had dared to try to reduce France again to her former state. Such was the position of affairs when on a sudden the people of England were told that Admiral Parker had received orders to proceed to the Pirwast. And then that celebrated power in an other place, which was always ready to oppose anything liberal in government, at any time, stepped forward with the majority which, indeed, they always had, though they did nut always think fit to use it, though they o'ten threatened. He did not know how many times he had heard this session, " Ministers will be in a minority in the Lords ;" and the ordinary answer, he must say, was—" Who cares?" Well, there was a curious cir cumstance with regard to these orders of Admiral Parker's, and he would ask the House to bear it in mind. The people of Hungary had risen against the despotism of Austria. In a glorious but unfor tunate conflict they had succumbed to the united forces of Austria and Russia. The patriots—he would presume to call them so—(Hear, hear, and loud cheers)—fled, and where did they go for succour? To Turkey. With that bloodhound pertinacity which always distinguishes despotic Governments, they were tracked slowly and surely to their hiding place. And then was sent to an independent Government the most insulting demand that ever was sent by an insulting Government. But the Noble Lord, nobly representing two nations, stepped in an said " This shall not be."—(Great cheering.) All glory to France, who had assisted us at this time, and the sight of a British fiett in the famous hay of Salamis, stopped these wretches, and vindicated the law of nations. Now, was there and thing in the claim itself unusual or contrary to the law of nations? lie would first take the cese of France. The law of nations he took to be, correctly speaking, no law; it was a sys tem of general morality, in which the rules were necessarily vague, and depended rather on the expression of a country than anything which had been settled by a tribunal. The Hou. and Learned Gentleman then referred to the assertion which had been made, that the proceedings of the English Government with regard to Greece were without prece dent, and mentioned several instances in which France had demanded compensation for injured French subjects 'eliding in foreign states, but had refused to accept the mediation of this or any other country. He alluded to those instances as striking lessons, not only to members in that House, but to members in the French Chamber of Deputies, who spoke without knowing what had been done by their own countrymen, used language which, were it not for the undaunted majesty and power and great serenity of the people of England, would be deemed insulting.—(Cheers, and ironical cheers from the Opposition Benches.) But we, being above such petty feelings, soaring above them in our unapproachable greatness, disregard them.—(Laughter.) The demands made by France on that occasaion were contested by Portugal; they went into the Tagus, took her fleet, and threatened to bombard her towns; they complained also that a Frenchman had been subjected to a severe imprisonment for a slight offence, and they demanded that he should be liberated, that the sentence should be annulled and cancelled, that such sentences should only be carried out in future by a special act, and that the judge should be dismissed.—(Bear, hear, and a laugh.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then con tinued—l am not here to treat this matter lightly. We had a right to say to France in 1831, in the time of him who was our dear ally, Louis Philippe—(Hear, hear) — just fresh with his new laurels, when he stepped in between legitimacy and liberty, and having the greatest opportunity of governing the world upon really liberal principles, but who, through a base personal feeling, broke down and destroyed all his greatness. In 1831, then, the French Government demanded of Portugal an indemnity that their subjects should not be liable to arrest, that the chief of police be dismissed, and that all the sentences passed upon French subjects for political crimes be abrogated. That is one of the examples set us by France. Oh, but you say. that is only a solitary instance; but I can go over a dczen. They may say that is a petty affair; but I can find twenty other affairs. In 1842 it appeared that the French Government fancied that the governor of San Salvador had been insulted, and de manded compensation to the amount' of 1,000 dollars.— (A laugh.) They were told that if the money was not paid the French ships would bombard the town. They refused to do so, the French consul retired and went on board, and then the amount was raised to 2,000 dollars, and the port blockaded. What followed? The poor people paid the money.—(Hear, and a laugh.) That's another instance. The French complained of Mexico, because a mob had pulled down a manufactory. The French said," We must have immediate payment." They refused all attempts at mediation—they demanded pay ment—instant, unequivocal payment; and because they refused that the French bombarded them. I could give many similar instances, but I will take another because it is said that we have attacked a weak nation. On the western coast of Africa, the governor of the French colony of Senegal found himself offended. What did he do? He went up the river, took possession of the territory, chastised the cffending party, and his demands were regularly paid. Now let us consider this. With a great nation a blockade is a declaration of war; but it is merely a mer ciful and useful mode of acting with a weak nation, and, comparatively with England, a powerless nation—not to declare war. That blockade took place, and the English fleet took possession of certain ships. Now let us go to ff.*. United States of America. There is our own blood and bone—our own institutions, a people as commercial as ourselves, and loving peace as we do.—(Cries of " Hear," and laughter.) I shall take some curious in stances, 'and they are instructive. It appears that in 1814-15, as is will known, America was at war with England. An American vessel was chased by an Eng lish ship under the very walls of the fort of Fayal and was taken. Our brother over the water presented his bill.—(A. laugh.) To whom? Was it to England? No. England was at war with him, and we had a right to capture his ships. They presented the bill to the Portuguese Government, and the answer they received was--"It was done in spite of us." " That is precisely what we mean," said the Americans, " that is why you must pay us."—(llear, hear.) Up to this hour, and let has people of England know it, that money h not been paid ; but at this moment, laser ag e , vessels are coming from the other side f Atlantic to blockade the f Tag w u b s et on ee tba e t eli That is an example o account. Atlantic Then there was the case of the ship General nation can do in the way of demanding startio: wh ichitone bill to custom-house appeared eared officersthat certain remeve p d e r ifr o e n te s calling themselves another—the vessel was wrecked, and the I was sent iu to the Portuguese Government.—(Hear, hear). These are two cases, but th ere is another. Mur a t was acknowledge the justice of his claim:— "It appears from Mr. Finlay's statement that you are already aware of the merits of his case, and that you have h ad some communication with the Greek Government thersupou . It is only necessary, therefore, that I should instruct you to follow up your representations in favour of Mr. Finlays claim in such manner as you may deem best calculated to obtain that compensation to which Mr. Finlay may appear t° be entitled." What is the answer to that?. The people of Athe ns appear to have retained, at least, one quality of their a n '' cestors—they are capital at a law suit, and they try hr quirks to get out of the difficulty. They say Gre ek not try the tribunal?" The idea of trying a Gre ek tribunal!—(A laugh.) What was the poor man to dot One thing was quite clear—that there was no chance of obtaining any satisfaction but by appealing to his cou p ' try. He said, "I came here to aid in advancing t he liberties of Greece and to resist Turkey—l gave you ell I could in the shape of assistance, and you are now suc cessful. I bought this land under an English protoc ol, and I Dow demand that protection to which, as an BPg: lishman, lam entitled." But the Grecian Govermne ll ' found protectors here, and I find that great authorial"' have been quoted to sanction the refusal of the Greek Government. The great name of Lord Mansfield hit s been brought forward to show that Mie Finlay had does wrong in appealing to this country. I ask those vib l i made use of that authority if they know the case ? cannot believe that the Noble Lord who quoted it 0 0 Lord Mansfield's could have known the circumstan ces , under which that opinion was given. It was given, no by Lord Mansfield, but by Mr. Murray—not that I 6nl going to do what others have done, to attribute to th e law-officers of the Crown that they would give a° opinion to suit the views of the Government with &I °u , they were connected. The Noble Lord who made t hew assertion judged by himself rather than from any high er standard.—(Hear, hear, and cries of " Oh.") Another instance may be cited. A loan was entered into bf d the Emperor of Germany; Maria Theresa succeeded him, and the King of Prussia took Silesia, which lan been mortgaged, as it were, fur the debt; and when " w ,7 welt possession of Silesia he engaged to pay the de i. b ."; being Afterwards certain injuries were done to some of „" 1 " subjects, by vessels taken and brought to be o r tided upon in our Admiralty Courts as prizes. Whe t ; did the King of Prussia do ? He said—" I care not 0 0 ' your Admiralty Courts. I assume that they are Wag. and will confiscate that debt because certain injuries be rg bees inflicted upon my subjects." What was the answ e if f made by Mr. Murray and Sir George Leigh ? said, as a matt( r of tact, "First, the injury you comp o' o of has not been done, for the vessels taken have 0 3 through the Admiralty Court, and have almost all beeo . released. They have gone fairly through these cu rt • • With respect to some there is a doubt, and by and by decision will be come to." But he went further, I ' l l 4 said, " Here is a case in which the personal honour o, the King is concerned, and he, having entered 'treaty with certain individuals to pay this debt, took "., 10 idea of confiscating the debt because other individ% of the same nation had done an injury to some of r o i subjects."—(Hear, hear.) But is even that apa G°, case? Here is the case of an injury done by the '0; vernment itself. The sufferer has no chance of redr,e!, and in that case he has a right to call in the aid of 10 . ternational law, and appeal to his country. I must 3 ", i pose that the Noble Lord who referred to it never re • this case, otherwise he never would have said su ch to thing. I beg pardon of the House. but I must refer one or two of the letters from our Ambassador. Ile s t / e j in one dated " Athens, Aug. 7, 18411—I have not ren e ;', o any answer from the Greek Government to my note 0 ;fp 2d July, respecting the claims of M. Pacifico and e y Finley."
