Qucc n Isabella IL, is lineally descended from the same King of France. Did it ever occur to Lord Palmerston to question the right of Ferdinand VU. or Isabella 11. to reign over Spain? Lord Palmerston, in the 19th century, has done pre cisely what had been done by his predecessors (and, in deed, by all Europe) during the course of the 18th. He has not pretended, or so much as imagined, that the right of Isabella 11. (or of Ferdinand VII.) was dis putable or doubtful; that, by her descent from a branch of the Royal House of France, which had renounced its rights to the Spanish throne; she lost those rights to the same thrOne which had devolved upon her as a descendant of Philip V. The natural and, true construction of the Treaty of Utrecht carries with it such resistless conviction, that, till it was questioned upon the present occasion, it has been admitted universally and without hesitation. Not content with the misconstruction to which I have jti4t adverted, Lord Palmerston puts upon the treaty a false interpretation which is more serious still, which strikes at its fundamental purpose, or rather, I might say, at its existence. Lord Palmerston says, :that the main and real object of the treaty, besides the restoration of peace between the contracting parties, was that for which the preceding war had been undertaken; that the main and real ob ject was to avert a too close and intimate union between the kingdoms of France and Spain; and that the history of the last century affords many examples to show, how, notwithstanding the Treaty of Utrecht, this intimate union continued to subsist. Therefore, in Lord Palmerston's opinion, the Treaty of Utrecht did not suffice during the last century (and, consequently, does not suffice at the present hour) to accomplish its main and real object; and that this object must be sought, not in the fundamental condi tions of the peace which the treaty established, but in the purposes of the war by which it had been preceded. Strange forgetfulness of the lessons of experience, and of the warnings which it has imparted, in all ages, to the most powerful human designs! Governments en gaging in a war do not attain by it all the objects with which they had flattered themselves; and when they are forced by necessity, or persuaded by prudence, to put an end to the war, peace is re-established (in almost all cases) on a compromise of their conflicting pretensions. It was the purpose of England and her allies to prevent the grandson of Louis XIV., and the descendants of that grandson, from establishing themselves on the throne of Spain ; and it was intended by Louis XIV., when he accepted the Spanish Crown for a branch of his family, _that this branch should retain its rights to the Crown of France. Such, during the first periods of the war, were the objects and aspirations of the parties to it; but, after twelve years of sanguinary conflict, the spirit of peace resumed its ascendancy, and the two nations came to a compromise. England and her allies consented on the one part, that a branch of the House of Bourbon should,sit on the throne of Spain ; and Louis XIV. consented, on the other, that the respective rights of the Royal Houses of France and Spain should be completely separated. Such was the T rea ty o f Ut rec ht, an d suc h was its main and real purpose. Accordingly, it did not give to any of the belligerents all the objects which had moved them to the war ; but it gave to all parties, through a compromise of their adverse pretensions, the peace which all of them needed. Those who would close their eyes to a fact so evident, and would seek, not in the definitive conditions of the peace which terminated the war of the Spanish succes sion, but in the original purposes of that war, the prin ciples of their pretensions and their policy—those would in truth be. the violaters of the Treaty of Utrecht, of its spirit and of its letter, and would incur, before Europe, now peaceful and happy, the responsibility of the con sequences of such a violation. The ging's Government adheres faithfully to the Treaty of Utrecht, since it merely wishes to maintain the bases of the European balance of power, as that treaty determined them. On th e contr ar y, Lofd Pal merston, at the very moment when he is appealing upon a special point to the Treaty of rtrecht, rejects the fundamental principles of that treaty, and discloses a po!icy which assuredly is not one of peace and of for bearance. I have now accomplished what I had undertaken. I have corrected the more serious of the errors contained in Lord Pahnerston's dispatch of the 31st of October, and I have stated in their real and true light the more important of the facts to which it relates. In a true spirit of moderation and of peace, I abstain from every remark which could merely tend to prolong a controversy hence fc without object. lam earnestly desirous of saying nothing but what necessity constrains me to state—no thing which might impede, in either country, the return of a friendly and cordial policy—a policy (I have some right to assert) to which no one has been, or remains, more faithfully attached than myself. I think that the facts have now been sufficiently brought to light to justify me in here closing this discussion. In concluding it, I will endeavour to replace it within its true and con stitutional bounds. Lord Palmerston has introduced a name which should never have been mentioned ; my duty commands me to express my surprise, and to recal to his recollection, that the responsibility of the policy pursued by the King's Government, in respect to this question, rests with myself alone, as my honour and my right. I beg you to read this dispatch to Lord Palmerston, and to give him a copy of it. Accept, Monsieur le Comte, the assurance of my most distinguished consideration. (TO BE CONTINUED.) COURT CIRCULAR.

It is a supplication now ; it may, if con • teamed, merge into a command. Shall it be said that this want of knowledge has been grievously exagge rated ? Shall it be said that there is no such necessity fur a national system of education ? Go with that chaplain mentioned by Lord LINCOLN to the benighted I culprits in Preston gaol alone ; see fifty fire per cent. of them unable to real, thirty fi e per cent. ignorant cs to the personality of CHRIST, only nine in a hundred acquainted with the elementary principles of religion, not one amongst them familiar with " The Book," upwards of half qf the number not aware of the name of the reigning Sovereign: let them loOk into that abyss of ignorance which the chaplain of Preston gaol has looked into, and then say that there is no particular want of a national system of education ! Is not that sufficient ? Let them meditate upon the thousands who are living perpetually in the filth of domestic sin, who are an actual curse to the land in which their breath is drawn, who are requiring the incessant and stringent correction of the law, who perish in hospitals, and pri sons, and workhouses, and penal colonies. If any additional evidence be wanting, let them visit, even in this vast and flourishing metropolis, those "Ragged Schools" which philanthropy has erected in its by lanes and its rookeries, and which only a sublime charity could sustain and organize. They must then acknowledge that there is ample cause to weep over this awful deficiency of moral and intellectual know ledge.

THIRD EDITION OF "THE SUN," PARLIAMENT MEETS on TUESDAY NEXT, THE 19TH, AND, AS USUAL, THE VERY LATEST NEWS WILL BE FOUND IN TIIE THIRD EDITION OF " THE SUN,' WHICH WILL CONTAIN THE DEBATES IN BOTH HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT UP TO THE HOUR OF POST, THEREBY ANTICIPATING OTHER PAPERS BY TWELVE HOURS. The cry cf Irish agony swells daily louder and louder, and pierces the most callous heart. .At such a season of sorrow and misery it becomes the duty of every citizen of the empire to do his diligence gladly to remove, as far as in him lies, the heavy load of woe that crushes our Irish fellow-citizens to the earth. To discover the origin of the miseries of Ireland— to lay hare the sources of those wasting and incessant torments of agitation that have driven the merchant and the manufacturer in dismay from Ireland, torn up by the roots the tree of commerce, and left the country without a single stay or defence against the present dreadful invasion of famine, is the first and most necessary duty of the legislative physicians, who must immediately undertake the case of Ireland. If, in searching for the origin, of these agitations, they adopt the inductive method, and investigate separately the causes of each successive agitation, they will find them, without exception, to be efforts to remove differences existing between the laws of Ire land and those of England, or to redress evils arising from such differences. The conclusion from such an investigation is unavoidable.

If it be true that the poor of Ireland experience all the misery concomitant to a state of want and wretchedness, then it follows that their participation qf the privileges of Britons will rouse and animate to laudable exertions that useful description of our fellow-subjects in the sister kingdom. That liberty which awakened the commercial enterprise of Scotland—that liberty which expanded its genius in the most honourable pursuits —that liberty which confirmed every sentiment which can dignify human nature, will, Sir, I am sure have the same happy influence on the people of Ireland, connected with us by the dearest reci procal obligations." Notwithstanding, however, the simple significance of the words themselves, and the analogy of Scotland, and the expressed intention of the Legislature, Messrs. HOVENDEN and CHITTY have, in their respective editions of "Blackstone's Commentaries," represented the Sixth Article of the Irish Union as referring only to trade, and establishing an equality of privileges in that respect alone between the countries, though the fourth paragraph of that section, which establishes an equality in all privileges derived from foreign treaties, does not mention nor allude to trade, and though the marginal note, collecting the general purport of the sections, stares them in the face, and declares its meaning to be, "that the subjects of Great Britain and Ireland should be on the same footing from the Ist of January, 1801." To narrow the privileges extended by this section to those connected with trade alone, it is necessary, as a first and indispensable step, to deny a separate and independent meaning to the sentence, "that his Majesty's subjects of Great Britain and Ireland shall enjoy the same privileges"—a sentence which contains the great price of Ireland's independence, so strictly stipulated for by Ireland, and, as we have seen, so solemnly undeetaken to be paid by England. Accord ing to such exposition this sentence forms for us merely one of two antecedents, governing in common the words "as to bounties on the like articles, &c.," the other antecedent being the phrase, "be upint the same fcoting." And the entire passage, so read, would merely extend to Ireland an equality of rights as to trade and commerce. -Now, to adopt such a construction would be to make the important sentence, "shall enjoy the same privileges," vain and superfluous, and to give no effect whatever to these words ; for the words, " shall be upon the same footing as to bounties, &c.," give all privileges respecting bounties, &c., and something more. The strong and significant words, " shall enjoy the same privileges," would therefore be, ac cording to such reading, empty unmeaning phrases, and without the least effect. But such an exposition would be in violation of the clearest rules of law ; " for the good expositor (says Lord Coicn in POWLTER'S case) makes every sentence have its operation to suppress all the mischiefs; he gives effect to every word in the statute; he does not construe it so that anything should be vain and superfluous, nor yet makes exposition against express words, for viperina est expositio qua. , corrodit viscera textus.'" It appears clear, therefore, that if this section be brought to the strictest tests of law, every rule of construction, whether derived from the common law or the law of nations, will declare that these sentences stand independent of each other, and will presume that the different words in each were em ployed to express different ideas, and were used in the largest sense. But, supposing for a moment that the meaning was ambiguous, and that a doubt could be fairly entertained, whether the word privileges was to be taken in the larger or the more restricted sense, then we should be obliged to have recourse to another kind of test, and to decide whether the covenant. " that her MAJESTY'S subjects of Great Britain and Ireland shall enjoy the same privileges," by a favour able or all odious covenant, for different rules of con struction, according to the law of nations, govern these two classes of covenants. " Everything that tends to a common advantage in treaties, or that has a tendency to place the contract ing parties on a footing of equality, is favourable," says VATTELL, Book 2, c. 2. This definition of VAT TELL'S exactly describes the nature of the covenant granting equal privileges to the subjects of both coun tries. This covenant .is, therefore, governed by the rules applicable to things favourable, and all writers on the law of nations agree as to these rules. GRO TIUS, Book 11,c. 15, thus lays down the rule :—" In cases not odious, we must understand the words in their full propriety as they are generally taken, and if they are ambiguous then they must be taken in the largest seme." To discover an ambiguity respecting these Irish privileges, as therefore to prove that they must be granted in their very largest extent. Uncertainty ranges itself upon the side of justice, and to raise a doubt upon the subject is to establish the claim of Ireland for perfect equality with Great Britain in laws, rights, privileges, and advantages—a claim which ought; - never to have been refused, and upon the speedy and certain admission of which depends the honour and happiness of the United Empire. " The e: plosive cotton has been tried at Constar', tinople," says a letter from that city, " with complete success. Several experiments have been made at the palace in the urctsence of the SULTAN, and gave full s..ttisfaction. 'Other proofs of its power have likewise been exhibited to several of the Turkish Ministers." Letters from. 'Constantinople state that the SULTAN was exceedingly annoyed at the reception given at Paris to the Bey of Tuxes as an independent sove reign. The• conferences at Trebisonde for reconciling the differences between Turkey and Persia have been broken up ' without any result.

It was rumoured that he had already arrived on the frontiers of France. MADRID BOLSA, JAN. 7.—The Three per Cents. were dons! at 32 3 , 16 for cash; the Five per Cents. at 21 ; the Debt without Interest at 64; the Coupons at 1,91; and the Vales, at S. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday The Budget, which has been laid on the table of the Chamber of Deputies by the Finance Minister, ex hibits an alarming and increasing deficiency. This deficiency amounted in 1845 to 79 millions and 1846, to GO millions. The following abstract of the Budget is given by the Journal des Debats " The Budget for 1848 is already laid before the Cham ber of Deputies. The following are the principal results. The uncovered balance of 1844, estimated at the time of the preceding Budget at 5,807,773 f., had been reduced before the final settlement of the account to 181,5301. That of the year 1845 was at the same period carried up to 18,949,118 f. Savings made out of some of the credits thgranted, added to certain accidental resources, changed e uncovered deficit into a balance in hand of 1,932,0651. This will not be the case with the account of 1846. The calamities of all kinds with which France has been afflicted during the present year, have imposed upon her sacrifices which have aggravated the financial state of the country, notwithstanding the increase of the revenue. A year ago the un covered balance, after taking into account an increase in the receipts to the amount of 22,000,0001., was found to be 25,102,0291. Now, although the Minister can bring into account a bonus of 33,000,0001. in the receipts, he cannot set down the uncovered deficit at less than 81,237,9631., but which is reduced to 79,305,899 E, if there be deducted the excess in the receipts of 1845. Among the causes producing this sad result there ought to be reckoned a sum of 6,500,000 E distributed in relief among the suffering people; 14,600,000 f. for the increase in the price of provisions for the army and navy; 33,000,000 E extraordinary credits, granted to these two departments for the service of Algeria; and 14,600,000 f. added to the extraordinary credits of the navy for the difkrent stations, particularly those on the coast of Africa. A similar result is to be feared for 1847, though as yet upon this subject there can be only conjecture. Approximate data lead to a conclusion that the uncovered deficits of the budgets from 1840 -down to the present time will amount to 433,515,691 f., which must be paid out of the reserves of the Sinking Fund before any part of these reserves can be applied to the public works to which th7y are appropriated. A year ago the total of the uncovered deficit was estimated at 354,996,7651., and it was in the course of 1846 that the accumulated re serves %Pre to be applied in paying it. This cannot now be expected, but it is a misfortune which can be attri buted only to the inclemency of the seasons. The Budget for 1848 presents the following results :—Receipts, 1,371,592,4571.; dirbursements, 1,368,276,127 f.; excess of receipte, 3,316,330 f." The publication of this Budget was followed by a further decline in the price of securities and of rail road shares. On Thursday there was to be another meeting of the Governors of the Bank of France, at which it was supposed a resolution would be come to either to raise the rate of interest, or to adopt some equally efficacious measure to stop the drain of bullion from the coffers of the Bank. The Bill introduced by the Minister of Commerce for the regulation of the corn trade allows the free importation of corn into France in foreign bottoms. The Billault and Dufaure section of the Oppo sition have declared themselves in favour of the con duct of M. GUIZOT in the Montpensier marriage affair. It is calculated that on this question from 340 to 380 Members will vote with the Ministry. The IWoniteur contains a long list of nominations to the Legion of Honour. Among them are several Russians; for example, Admiral LUTKE, Aide-de- Camp to the Emperor of Russia; M. DE KISSELEFF, Russian Charge d'Affaires in Paris; Capt. MOFFETT, Russian navy; and Captain GLASSENAPP, Aide-de- Camp of the EMPEROR, also Qf the Russian navy, We find the following in the Constitionnel: "The Government has just received, within twenty four hours of each other, a reply from the English Cabinet to the dispatch of M. Guizot, of the 22d of No vember last, relative to the marriage of the Duke de Montpensier, and a reply from the three Northern Powers to the protest of the French Government against the incorporation of Cracow. This latter document, the work of the Prince de Metternich, is, it is said, only a sort of acknowledgment that the document had been received. Lord Palmerston's dispatch is, on the contrary, a long one. The Minister of Great Britain does not abandon, we understand, any of his grievances —any of the arguments of his first protest—he persists in his first conclusions. The diplomatic discussion, how ever, appears closed, each of the Governments of Europe preserving its attitude. Complete isolation is at present the last word of our situation." Senor MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA, the Spanish Am bassador at the Court of the RING of the Famscx, passed through Bay onne on th e 10th en route for Madrid. He seemed anxious to get on as fast as Possible. It is said 6,000,000 f. in specie has been recently sent from Bayonne to different parts of Spain. Serious bread riots have taken place at Rennes, and at Mans and Nantes a rise of sf. per hectolitre has taken place in the price of flour.

KATHERINE'S DOCKS. -- Yesterday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, a fire broke out on board the ship Bonafide, from St. Petersburgh, lying along side the tobacco-warehouse, in the St. Katherine's Dock. It was first discovered by Mr. Holdway, the chief constable, who was passing near the spot, and saw flames issuing from the cabin windows. An alarm was instantly raised, and the Queen's baggage warehouse engines were quickly brought into requisition. At this time the decks, bulwarks, and the sails were burning with iikreased fury, and fears were enter tained that the ship would be inevitably lost. A copious stream of water was poured upon the burning masa, and the fire was subdued and extinguished by ten o'clock. Fortu nately the labourers, who had just commenced their work, succeeded in saving the greater part of the cargo. The deck and the principal cabin have suffered most severely. Consi derable damage was done to the sails and masts. The fire originated by some of the crew heating a quantity of varnish in the cabin.
