LONDON: SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1840. The Earl of ABERDEEN presented last night in the Lords the petition of the Spanish Bondholders, of which he had given notice the day before. The Noble Earl explained that in 1828, parties having claims on Spain for property seized, agreed to accept 900,000/. in lieu of all demands, 600,000/. of which was paid in money, and 300,0001. in bonds. Since 1836 the inte rest on these bonds had not been paid, and now six dividends were due. The Government was bound to enforce the payment, and by not doing so, bad neglected its duty. Viscount MELBOURNE assured their Lordships that these claims had been strongly urged on the Spanish Government, but the civil war in which Spain had been plunged, had prevented the Government from satisfying them. He had no doubt that the Government would, as soeyt as possible, set about satisfying these just claims. The Earl of WICKLOW wished to have Sir F. HEAD'S despatches laid before Parliament, but on Lord MEL souRNE saying that it would give him pain to produce them, the Noble Lord made no motion, and the subject was dropped. The Law Evidence of Scotland Bill, after some ob jections made by the Earl of ABERDEEN, and the Sale of Beer Bill, after some remarks by the Duke of RICH MOND, were read a second time. The latter was or dered to be referred to a Select Committee. Their Lordships then adjourned. A very considerable povtioa of the evening was occupied in the House of Commons by the Farnham Rectory Bill. The Report was brought up, and on certain amendments being moved, Mr. HumE objected to the property of the Church, which is public pro perty, being regulated by a private Bill. Mr. AGLIONBY moved that the further consideration of the matter be postponed, with a view of referring the evidence to a Select Committee. On this motion, after some discussion, the House di vided, and it was lost by 110 to 73. Subsequently a long discussion ensued on motions of adjournment, and it was at length decided by the SPEAKER'S casting vote that the debate should be ad journed till Monday. Several questions were asked, chiefly as to the busi ness of the House, for which we refer to the Report. A new writ was issued for West Surrey. Another portion, the largest half of the evening, was occupied by a motion of Mr. FIELDEN, for a Com mittee to inquire into the fact that certain Factory Commissioners had been employed as political spies. An interesting debate ensued, in which all parties condemned the employment of spies, and justified the procuring of all sorts of information. On a division, Mr. FIELDEN'S motion was lost by 113 to 11. The Committer of Supply was postponed. The debate on the Poor-law Commission Bill was put off till Tuesday, at twelve o'clock, after the exhibi tion of a resolute opposition to proceeding with it at that late hour. The House adjourned at Ten minutes before Two. At the meeting of the Royal Agricultural So ciety of England on Wednesday, Sir ROBERT PEEL renewed his homage to manufactures and commerce in these words : It was not unnatural that he, the son of manufactures and commerce, who felt the deepest obligation to these for worldly prosperity, and owed to them all the interest be had in the land, should rejoice in the prospect of seeing the commercial interests brought face to face with the agricultural. He was convinced that such a meeting would confirm the natural and almost unanimous opinion which prevailed, that a relation subsisted between them so close that they could not be disunited ; that it was im possible that manufactures shouldflourish without shedding a kindly influence on agriculture; or, on the other hand, that agriculture could decline without involving manu factures in its decay.—( Applause.) There was yet an other reason for which he rejoiced that the standard should planted on the coast of England, at the point which admitted the greatest facilities for intercourse with Ire land and Scotland. From this fact also he looked for great social results. By this choice they invited Scot land to witaess how they had followed her example and called upon Ireland to follow thei rs; and tempted b e no narrow or exclusive spirit, asked Ireland and Scotland to communicate their improvements, that they might parti • pate in those of this country. Fine words !—we wish Sir ROBERT'S acts ac corded with them—but he upholds the Corn-laws, which are at this moment inflicting an immense injury on those manufactures which, he says, can not flourish without shedding a genial influence oil agricultur.. Here is one proof taken from the American papers which arrived by the Great Western : The state of this country generally is at this moment very singular. In all sections of the country there is a perfect stagnation of business, while the producing sec tions are groaning beneath enormous crops. The south has delivered a crop of cotton 20 per cent. greater than ever before. The Western country is filled with grain to over. flowing, so prodigally has the earth yielded, that to Euro peans it must seem incredible. In many parts of Ohio, the eye of the traveller svi!l perceive last year's crop of corn remaining stacked upon the fields where it grew, while wheat has been sown around it, and promises a most abundant yield. It is the intention of many of the farmers so situated to reap the wheat and turn th e ho g s and cattle in upo n t h e corn, there being no prospect for any market for it. Flour has fallen so low, and the markets so dull, united with the impossibility ofprocuring money, that tLe 11 Jur mills h ave ceased to work. At the very moment while there is such an abundance of coin in America that it is to be given to the pigs, or allowed to rot on the ground, the manufacturers of Manchester, Bolton, and Glasgow are actually starving : the Americans would most readily an d freely give their corn for cloth ; nay, they are endeavouring to do this by , smuggling corn into England through Canada, and j the fine-spoken Sir R. PEEL is the man who up holds the Corn-laws which i mp i ously forbid this most useful and beneficial exchange. - The patience of the starvin g people of Bolt ot Manchester, and Glasgow, if it d o no t give wal; under such a tremendous injury, must at least be 1 sorely tried. If, bearing it, they procceed to inquire ! by what right Sir ROBERT PEEL and his friends inflict this tremendous injury ; if they conclude that I he and they have no right, and if for that they durse the lawmaker as the demon of mischief, as the very incarnation of exil ; and if they resolve by all possi ble means to throw off his authority, as they would get rid of a fever or the cholera, will it be surpris ing, or will it be blameable, if in doing so they com mit no wrong, such as he commits, starve no infants, and thrust not the aged and the weak into the grave ? Fine spun reasoning, long trains of reflec tion, are not to be expected from men continually engaged in hand labour ; they will not, they cannot balance against the enormous injury im mediately inflicted on them the possible and re mote advantage of legislation ; and thus the landlords by using it to serve a personal purpose, committing this impious wrong on other men, must weaken, if they do not wholly destroy its authority. They will disdain our words, but they may per haps learn from AI. GUIZOT. In his article in the Revue Francaise, on Catholicism, Protestantism, and Philosophy, is the following passage : What is the evil under which our temporal society labours? The enervation of authority; I do not 'lvy of that executive force which makes itself obeyed ; for of this power there was never more, perhaps, never so much. But I mean the moral authority of principle and pure right, which needs not recur to force; of that authority, to which the heart bends without allowing the mind to become humiliated, and which speaks boldly with an energy not of compulsion, yet of necessity. This is the truest authority. Yet it is not the only principle of the social state ; it does not suffice for the government of men. It is, however, so absolutely essen tial, that without it all powers are ineffectual whether they be reason incessantly repeated, interest well understood, or the physical preponderance of numbers. Where such authority is wanting, whatever may be the am( unt of force, obedience is precarious, or dastardly, always approximat ing to servility or rebellion. - The authority which is already weakened our money-hunting aristocracy will destroy, they have already " made obedience precarious and dastardly," and it always " approximates to servility or rebel lion." Mr. STEPHENSON, the American Minister to our Court, was present at the meeting, and dis coursed eloquently on the " wish of the Americans to cultivate peace and good-will with England," on "there being much to be done by Me Assem bly representing the agriculture of the empire, to strengthen the ties of peace and concord, which happily existed ;" on " the soldier and the sword no longer being the security for humane and peaceful nations ;" and on " the stability of thrones depend ing ore the moral force of a virtuous, enlight ened, and religious people." Most excellent senti ments, but terribly at variance with what is done by the persons whom he was addressing, in their charac ter of legislators. A paragraph, which we will now quote from the New York Sun, of June 15, will show how they cultivate the good-will of the Americans : The Corn-laws are now the greatest, and, in truth, the only obstacle in the way of an immediate revival of a successful and prosperous trade. They almost eff:ct a total exclusion of our flour and grain from the English market. The consequence is, that we cannot pay our debts, or buy more goods with our surplus produce. The orders which vs e send for British manufactured goods are unusually and exceedingly small, because we cannot get our property into her ports to pay for them. This is a two-edged sword, which cuts the throat of both nations. England loses the custom of her most extensive purchaser; her goods are left on hand, her manufacturers suspend operations, and throw their labourers out of employ. We not only are deprived of a market for our flour, but we find also the demand for our great staple cotton diminished, and its price fall ng off. Any man of recollection can can easily trace out in his mind the various and endless fluctuations in commerce which must be produced by such a state of things. And all this load of evil is inflicted upon the world for the exclusive bens fit, with barely an exception, of a few aristocrats in England. The Corn-laws weaken all the ties of peace and concord, and tend to sow discord equally be tween the two nations and the several classes of our own people. To the latter they are a manifold injury, for they not only deprive them of bread, but expose them to the misfortunes, privations, and cala mities of war. Sir ROBERT PEEL alluded to Ireland as he al luded to our manufactures, and both bear equally pointed and strong testimony against the Corn-laws. The manufactures by which agriculture is to flourish are stagnant or going to decay, and the Irish, whom the Corn-laws are to benefit, are absolutely starving. The Royal Agricultural Society is to meet next year in Lancashire, to be near Ireland and in the vicinity of the manufacturers, that it may insult the misery which the landowners cause. What can or will they do for Ireland but extort more rent—what for the manufacturers but inflict on them greater misery ? If, while they ruin the manufacturer they injure agriculture and drive the people into rebel lion, they should not escape unharmed, they will have only themselves to blame. We have already told them that the Corn-laws, if persevered in, will bring about a great, if not a bloody revolution. They are overthrowing the power of the Parliament. With that away goes our artificial right of property, away goes the law made Church and the law-made religion, away go the throne, the priesthood, and the aristo cracy. Surely the men must be mad who, relying on the law to secure their possessions and preserve their power, take such effectual means as the Corn laws to overturn its authority. To make two ears of corn grow where only one grew before is most laudable. We shall highly ap prove of the exertions of the Royal Agricultural Society if they effect that, but we should like to have some testimony to their utility besides their own assertions. If a great body of weavers or spinners had congregated round their place of as sembly, and had rent the air with shouts of grati tude for cheap bread, there would have been a noble and a lovely testimony to the utility of the Society. But for Noblemen and Gentlemen to praise them. selves, and to applaud with great vehemence every phrase and sentiment that had any relation to pre serving the present system of starving the people—to dilate on the prosperity of agriculture over their melons, pines, and ice'd champagne, while employ ment is very scanty and bread very dear, however agreeable to the feelings of the members of the Agricultural Society, is not creditable to the Noble Lords and Gentlemen present, and will not con tribute to make the people love and respect them. If the Society is not quite as ridiculous as the British Association, it is saved from contempt by the very mischievous conduct of the landowners. The Morning Advertiser is a very unfair op ponent. We charged our Contemporary with mis representing us in stating that he had been " greatly taken to task" by The Sun for the course which he had pursued on the Non-Intrusion question, and we thought ourselves justified in callin g upon him to point out, if he could, any, even the moat remote, a llusion to his course. or to a line that he had writ ten on the subject up to the moment when he made the statement. if he could not do this he was bound to retract. Instead, however, of doing what honour dictated, he attempts to wriggle out of his di lemma by a clumsy and ridiculous subterfuge. He, tells us that the word " g T eatly" was print e d mistake instead of " gently. Nothing is more likely. In the burly of a newspaper office much greater mistakes than this are continually occurring. But what has it to do with the matter in hand whe ther he wrote " greatly" or " gently," when he knows the fact to be that we never took him to task, or alluded to him at all ? Why, then did he had erred in making the notcharge say a t once that he against us Not that it is a matter ofany importance t o us what he says or unsays. V ery f ar f ro m it. We should have tak en no f arther notice o f t h e c i rc umstances had it not been to s h ow the d i s i ngenuo us and evasive spirit which our Contemporary can summon to his aid when he finds himself involved in a difficulty. The whole of his last article, as indeed were those that went befor e it, is marked by the same slipperyon tvhi which p h i e ri t t ; Tnohte‘r• ee venture e t certain o c come e toc theimportanttie points ter, thinking it a safer course encoun ter, and to confine himself ' almost pas enotsireeloyvteor vague and unmeaning generalities, unsupported by the proof derived from individual facts. Slippery,o I cannot,he sh a ll n make hi m I however, as our Contemporary ‘ \e is escape out of our hands. speak against his will, neither can We make him speak truth ; but we shall t a k e espec i a l care that neither his silence nor his misrepresentations shall be lost upon the public. We stated on Wednesday last our belief of the insincerity of the Non-Intrusion leaders, and that their real object was to increase the power of the Church, while their professed one was to extend the rights of the people. thin," r-' A4rertiser, " are th‘' , proofs on which The Sun rests its allegations of cunning and con summate hypocrisy against the evangelical clergy of Scot- land? Will it be believed that our Contemporary adduces ; no circumstance or fact whatever in substantiation of the I I Charge? He contents hirMelf tkitti .following tip thb a le gation.by the rethark that 'the whole tenour of their con duct, froth the moment when the Non-Intrusion deception was first launched on the stage in 1834. in the shape of the Veto Act, to the publication of Dr. Chalmers's last letter in the Witness, amply bears out this charge.' This is nothing but assertion, and it has not even the merit of as serting a definite fact. Surely The Sun, before preferring an accusation of so serious a nature against the character lof any body of men, ought to have been able to point to ' something specific in support of it. " But our Contemporary is too wise in his generation to descend to particulars in justification of the allegation he prefers against the Non-Intrusion clergy. Do our readers know the reason? Just this, and no other—that he could not be specific—he had no particulars to descend to—hc had no definite facts—no overt acts to which he could refer in justification of his charge." This is as fine a specimen of the way in which our Contemporary carries on a controversy as we could wish to select. Whenever it suits his pur pose to pervert or suppress the truth, or to state a downright falsehood, he never hesitates a moment. Let us now bring him to book. In the article from which he has taken the above quotation, these words immediately follow : "And how does the Advertiser meet it?—What are the counterproofs which he brings forward to rebut it ? Docs be venture to explain how it happened that the As sembly's Aet of 1834. while it gave to the so-called people' the right of vetoing the patron's presentee, positively prohibited them from vetoing the presentee of the Presbytery ? By that Act, when the 'people' had thrice exercised their veto, the patronage devolved upon the Presbytery ; but then there was to be no more veto ing. The Presbytery's presentation was to be absolute and final ? Had.,not this a touch of intrusion in it ? Does it not look something like a hankering after power on the part of the Church? It must be admitted, on all hands, that it has that appearance, and must be understood in that sense until it is satisfactorily explained." We ask our Contemporary, is this a specific charge or not ? is it a definite fact or not ? Could he wish for a more overt act than an Act of the General Assembly ? How then he dare to as sert that which is directly the reverse of the truth, and with the evidence of the truth before his eyes ? If he cannot defend such damning facts as these, let him hold his tongue, but let him not add un truth to imbecility, by affirming that we have not brought them forward. Another fact was stated by us at the same time, as an index of the intentions of the Non-Intrusion leaders, in the following terms : . " The delicate subject of the restriction the veto qua lification, a point of vi al importance in estimating the real designs of the Non- Intrusion men, is one on which our Contemporary might have bestowed a word or two, were it only to remove a preju lice naturally arising against a system which enables the minister of a parish to limit the number of his people' to ten or twelve persons out of a population of ten or twelve hundred. Our Contemporary will perhaps scold us for our want of courtesy' if we say th , 4 it is a gross imposture to give the name of the people' to so minute a fraction of a congregation; yet either it is so, or one good large kirk would contain all the people of Scotland." Not a syllable can we extract from our Contem porary on this subject, although we have repeatedly pressed it upon him. We also instanced the limitation of the " prin ciple" of the Non-Inttusionists to the mere nega tive right of objection granted to the " people," instead of giving the unmutilated privilege—to which they are entitled, if they are entitled to any thing—of freely electing and dismissing their reli gious instructors. This is a " particular" which appears to tell against that exclusive devotion to the rights of the " people," which the Non-Intrusion agitators profess, and therefore it was easter to say that it was not stated, than to explain it. Dr. CHALmEtts's shuffling and double dealing on the Veto, we also adduced as a proof of the in sincerity of the pretensions put forth by the Non- Intrusion leaders. We quoted the following state ment—it cannot be too often repeatedof the Reverend Doctor, from a letter of his own, printed in the Witness, and severely commented on in the Banner, a Non-Intrusion publication :—" I felt little or no disappointment at the relinquishment either of the Veto or of the Call, compared with the disappointment I felt at the limitation set by Lord Aberdeen's Bill on the competency of the Presby , tery to judge, from all the circumsta nces of the case, on what they deemed best for the edification of the people." Here we find the great leader of the Non-Intru sionists deliberately throwing overboard the Veto, the Call, and every principle which the public and those of his followers who were honest enough to be deluded, had been taught to believe he and his coadjutors had been conter.ding for at the hazard of their stipends, and every thing else that was dear to them. We cannot allow our Contemporary to throw the Rev. Doctor after the Veto and the Call, as he seems inclined to do. His sole argument in favour of the sincerity and honesty of the Non-In trusion leaders is their rejection of Lord ABER DEEN'S Bill; that Bill, as he maintains, actually pouring the whole patronage of the Church into the laps of the clergy. We have a high opinion of ec clesiastical disinterestedness, but nevertheless we think his argument not worth a straw when op posed, as we have shown it to be, to the declaration of Dr. CHALMERS. Nor can we allow him to depreciate the Doctor's testimony as to the effects of the Bill. When the Worthy Doctor says—" I care not a pinch of snuff for the Veto or the Call in comparison with the fet ters which Lord ABERDEEN has bound upon the hands of the Presbytery," we must believe that he speaks the sense of the Non-Intrusion leaders. He was their representative in their commu nications with Lord ABERDEEN ; and although he has committed himself more unguardedly than they have done, our Contemporary will find that his brother trumpeters of Non-Intrusion, Messrs. CUNNINGHAM arid CANDLISH, indig nantly denounced the Bill the first moment it reached them, as putting a restraint upon the Pres bytery, which was not for a moment to be tolerated. If he has any doubt of the fact, we will furnish him with their words ; and if he will refer to the speeches delivered on the subject, by the same party in the last Assembly, he will find the same effect attributed to the Bill. We may add, though perhaps others may not think it very high authority, that his two-culuinn, large-type Correspondent in the Advertiser of yester day, begins his lengthy lucubration with a doleful lament that Lord ABERDEEN'S Bill converts " the Church of Scotland into a mere tool in the hands of patrons, very many of whom are not members of that Church." If then our Contemporary has nothing else to advance to prove the disinter estedness and single-heartedness of the Non-Intru sion agitators than their rejection of such a mea sure, both his case and their character are in a most unenviable position. There is only one other point remaining to be noticed in this last and silliest of all our Contem. porary's articles on the Non-Intrusion question. He had, in a former article, adduced as a proof of the popularity of the Non-Intrusion principle in Scotland, the great number of signatures at tached to the petitions got up by that party, compared to the numbers affixed to the petitions of the opposite party. IVe ob jected to this criterion because undue means, such as procuring the signatures of children in nurseries, had been used to swell the numbers, and likewise because the great mass of the people wished for no change in the law, and had, therefore, no such inducement to petition as their oppo nents the Non-Intrusion agitators. We proposed a better criterion —not the only one, as our Con temporary, with his natural turn for misrepresenta tion, states—in the part taken by the newspaper press, which is almost wholly opposed to Non-In trusion. What can be a fairer reflection of the public mind of Scotland titan the newspper press on a question which our Contemporary, in the very article on Which we are comment ing, asserts, is " now convulsing the whole of the country ?" " What ! " exclaims the Ad vertiser, " Consult the political press on a re ligious question ! Who would ever dream of such a thing ? Certainly not we." Considering that our Contemporary seems to be continually dreaming,. there was a hare chance that somethi ng like common sense might have visited his brain. But i n t hi s we were mistaken. He acco r di ng l y dreams that this is a religious question, and will not fancy any public ations entidtd to he consulted upon p it ap b e u r t s r o el i r gliimmiltd c s e "e ic sri en umerates two or thr ee news illation, as many obscure ma gazines, and then glorifies himself on the happy result of his dream ! Now we must let him know, that a question on which the priests preach rebellion, and the Church arrays itself against the State--the very essence of which il is a s t rugg l e for supremacy between the Civil and th e E cc l es i as ti c al powers—has, in the app.tel.e..,ion ui a ii ra tio.-.al u ctswis, iuliy as much a civil, o r po li t i cal, as a religious bearing. If the popular mi n d i s deeply interested in it, as he d eserts it is; we must;, notwithstanding his - dreaming cieniurrer, insist that the tic4spaper press is a better measure of that interest than any number of petitions manufactured as those of his party have been. He has taken a lesson from the Non-Intrusionists. When they wish to evade the operation of the laws, they always plead that theirs ' is a case of religious, not of civil, jurisdiction. But this is a privilege which has not yet been con ceded to them by the tribunals, and we will not concede it to him. Our Contemporary can discourse with a "most learned spirit," on the merits of a Beer Bill. No man can give a more " full and particular account" of a Licensed Victuallers' meeting, but he is no for him, but he must not travel out of his sphere, hand at an argument. We have a great respect and meddle with what he does not understand. At all events he must not meddle with us. As long as he sticks to his pint-pots and his tap-tub he will do. There he is at home, and there he had better remain, unless lie wishes to make him self an object of derision. The last Number of the Edinburgh Review con• tains an article on the foreign policy of the Go• vernment, which vvg have perus e d w i t h muc h sat i s . faction, and which we are confident will gratify every Englishman more solicitous to witness the glory of his country in the acts of her statesmen than to find materials for replenishing the exhausted armoury of faction. The article, though neither eloquent nor profound, is sensible an d j u di c i ous , and abounds in those evidences whi c h t h e presen t matter-of-fact generation requires from all reasoners that seek to produce conviction. lo simplify the comprehension of the details of a question which the Reviewer sets out with lamenting is so little at tended to by the people of this country, the bearing of our foreign policy is examined, first, in an inter • national, and next in a commercial poir l t of view. We shall confine the few remarks which we propose making, to the first of these views, as the only one upon which there can now be two opittionsamong men in the least degree conversant with public affairs ; and further, because, when regarded in an enlarged sense, it includes every other that can suggest it self to the politician and the merchant. We claim for ourselves the merit—if merit be indeed due to public Journalists for stating truth, and bestowing unqualified approbatton upon the patriotic conduct of an able and vigilant Mutister— of having anticipated all the praise bestowed by the Heviewer upon the policy of Lord PALM ERSTO N towards France, Belgium, Portugal, and Spain. He does riot touch a point with regard to these king doms, upon which we have not been before-hand with him in doing justice to the zeal, the prompitude, the patience, the firmness, and the sagacity of the Noble Foreign Secretary. We have constantly applauded, and to the extent of humble ability endeavoured still further promote the good understanding happily existing between England and France; and if, five years ago, we felt disgust at the attempts made byLoois- PHILIPPE, acting under the influence of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, to limit the auvantages which a gallant and patriotic people had a right to expect from a glorious Revolution effected by themselves, we never for an instant, in giving expression to that feeling, failed to do justice to the virtues of the French people, or to conceal the deep sympathy which we took in all that related to the extension of their liberties, and the promotion of their physical happiness. Of the Dutch war of pro tocols we were steady supporters—caring little for the waste of ink, so long as blood was spared. In Spain only was Lord PALMERSTON too slow for us ; but ev en th ere his Lordship's system has obtained a signal triumph. In Persia and Affghanistan the policy of the Noble Foreign Secretary has had our unqualified approba tion ; and if we have suggested more expedition in the settlement of the North American boundary line, it was not from a want of acquaintance with the immense difficulties in the way of a speedy ad justment, but to impress upon the Government the grave fact that such difficulties would acquire in calculable augmentation every day the question continued unsettled. Thus far the Reviewer and ourselves are agreed. We now come to an important question upon which we wholly disagree with him ; and we have two others to notice relative to which he says not a syllable, albeit the public had a right to expect some explanation from a writer on our foreign policy, occupying the place which the Re viewer is supposed to hold in the councils of her MAJESTY. The question upon which we differ from him is the seizure and confiscation by Russia of the Vixen in the Black Sea, and to this we shall first address ourselves. He manifestly regards this affair as of a very secondary considera tion. That the public may have a fair opportunity of doing justice to his reasonin g , we quote all that he condescends to say about it : We have seetLexperimental voyages undertaken with the intent of forcing nations into war, and the Ministry have been censured, when acting wisely upon the advice of the soundest lawyers, they declined to defend cases which were indefensible, or to claim reparation where, in point of justice, there had been no violation of any right. Of this character was the memorable case of the Vixen, in which, because Lord Palmerston would not advise his Sovereign to declare war in order to obtain rep ,ration for a loss sus tained in an illegal adventure, it was said that the Foreign t Secretary degraded Great B r i ta i n in the eyes o f eastern nations, by procuring the pirati ca l capture an d con fi scat i on of a British vessel in the Bla c k S ea. A s we ll mght th, officers of the coast guard be c h arge d w i t h i nsu l ting th e K Dutch smtLgler was seized in i condemned by the Court of Exchequer." King of w the s e Netherlands, n Now, without accusing the R ev i ewer o f a w i s h to misrepresent this question, we mus t b e a ll owe d waters aera r i d f s a to affirm that he has done so in a way, and to an extent, quite unjustifiable. The right of Russia to blockade any part of the Circassian coast south of the Kuban was denied by several eminent German Jurists, and never, till after the seizure of the Vixen, assented to by our Government. Besides, when Mr. BELL addressed a letter to Lord PAL MERSTON, to ascertain the existence of the block ade previous to the sailing of the vessel, his Lord ship at once referred him to the London Gazelle— well aware that no notification of such a blockade had appeared there, and thereby giving an implied official sanction to the Voyage. The allusion to the case of a Dutch smuggler in our waters would be ridiculous, if its want of genero sity towards the brave Circassians, gloriously fight ing for the freedom of their country, did not call for a severer censure. Were there the sli;2htest analogy between the guilt of the supposed Dutch smuggler in our waters and the Vixen's breach of the blockade of Sudjouk Kale, does the Reviewer suppose that Lord PALMERSTON would have felt it to be his duty to consult the Law Officers of the Crown upon the subject, still less to address a letter to Lord DURHAM, then Ambassador at the Court of Russia, for information on the very ques tion of the right of Russia to establish such a blockade ? If the fact of the right of Russia to blockade the whole coast of Circassia was noto rious, on the alleged ground of possessin g the country, how did it happen that Lord PALMER_ sroN appeared to know quite as little about it as Mr. BELL ? The motive imputed to the Vixen is likewise as unfounded as it is wicked. Mr. BELL'S great and or ly object was w demonstrate the fu tility of the right or blockade claimed by Russia, generously imagining that the denial of such a right on the part of a maritime power like England, would impart an irresistible moral influence to the cause of Circassian independence. We do not attach more blame to Lord PALMERSTON for the part he acted on this occasion, than we do to the Law Officers of the Crown, and to the Earl of Dunn Am. But upon a question so important we choose to speak plainly. The seizure and confiscation of the Vixen is the only real blot upon the Foreign Administration of Lord PALMERSTON ; and it is as ili-judged as it must be painful to his Lordship to claim for him credit for the only part of his conduct as a Minister which his country would wis ► univer sally forgotten. The questions upon which no information is given, are, the fall of Poland, and the subsequent occupation of Cracow by the Protecting, or, more properly, destroying Powers. It is time that the veil was raised which shrouds the conduct of the Government of England towards lun iappy Poland, during her last sad struggle for independence. The honour of Great Britain requires that there should he much to disclose of wl • nothing which is known be yond the threshold of the Cabinets of London, Paris, Vienna, and St. Petersburoh As there is now a fair prospect of a speedy ad ju,tuient of [the Easttru question, we are nut surprised to find the part which France ought to take in the removal of the remaining difficulties, the subject of general discussion in the political clubs of PariS, We niitibed a few ildys dg9 the dqdr-, tute of a special messenger for A.lcialidria; Charged with important secret despatches from M. TRIER to MEHEMET Am, in answer to a communication from the VICEROY proposing a conditional surren der of the Turkish fleet. In the Paris Journals of Thursday, the whole of which we have received, we find a letter from Toulon, giving the following as the basis of the proposal which M. EUGENE PERRIER on the part of the French Government, is authorized to make to MEHEMET ALI:— " France guarantees security for their persons and pro perty to the officers and crews of the Turkish fleet and the preservation of their rank ; it engages. if the fleet is sent back without delay, to obtain a treaty by which the family of Mehemet Alt shall be invested in perpetuity with the government of Egypt and Syria with their present territory, the limits of which shall be determined by agents of the Five great Powers. It must be presumed that M. Thiers does not act in this manner without depending on the concurrence of the other powers. It seems that in structions to the same effect have been sent to Constanti nopic by the Coclite steamer." The latest accounts from Constantinople, which are of the 28th ult., confirm the statement which appeared in The Sun of Wednesday, as to the cold reception which the Viceroy's Private Secre tary SAMI BEY experienced when the SULTAN was informed of the insurrection in Syria. On the 26th the Cyclops steamer arrived at Constantinople with despatches for Lord PONSONBY, and the news that the British squadron was at the mouth of the Dardanelles. It was rumoured that the British Admiral meditated seizing the Turkish ships sent by MEHEMET ALI wish troops to the coast of Syria, and compelling them to return to Constanti nople. Letters from Erzeroum, of the 14th of June, an nounce the iapid decline of Russian influence in Persia consequent upon the news of t'ae failure of the expedition to Khiva, and the losses sustained by Russia in Circassia. The SHAH had returned from Ispahan to Shiraz greatly dispirited by the consequences of his unjust conduct towards Great Btitain. We shall have another opportunity of saying something more upon this subjct.

We apprehend that the intention and effect of this alteration will be to cause the coffee of Brazils and other foreign countries to be im ported directly into this country without being sent first to the Cape of Good Hope, and at the same time to ensure to coffee grown in British possessions its present protecting duties. • THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—On inquiry at Apsley House this afternoon, we were glad to learn that his Grace had passed a good night, and that his health con tinues to improve. THE DUKE CF WELLINGTON.—On Thursday even ing we stated that it was a subject of general remark that the Duke of Wellington was abseet when the Lord Chancellor introduced the Regency Bill. We had no doubt at the time that his Grace had been pre vented from attending the House of Lords by an attack of illness, similar to those which have already occa sioned so much anxiety in the public mind, but we re frained from giving any p irticulars of his illness till we could hold out some hope that no serious danger was apprehended. We now rejoice to state that the attack was much slighter than on former occasions, and that it yielded almost immediatly to medical skill. It is said that the renewed illness was brought on by over-exertion. Are attach -no credit to the state ment. The Duke of Wedington is, perhaw, the most systematic man in existence the most abstemious, and the most correct in all his per sonal and domestic arrangements, and this attack, like all the others, was the result only of a long life of the most arduous and strenuous exertion in the cause of his country. All our readers will be delighted to know that the " man of the age" is out of danger, and will indulge the hope that he may yet live for years, as the honour and the ornament of the country which he has rendered so illustrious by his deeds On inquiring at Apsley House last evening, we were glad to learn that the Duke was much better, and that he would, in all probability, be able to attend to his duty in the House of Lords on Monday. IMPORT DUTIES.—We have heard that the Com mittee appointed on the motion of Mr. Hume to inquire into the effect of our import duties, has acquired some information which is likely to astonish the public, and essentially promote the cause of free trade. The loss of wealth they occasion, inflicting want,poverty and distress, is said to be beyond calculation. They disturb the whole course of trade, and drive capital into compara tively unproductive employment. One or two facts seem to us quite curiosities. While such an outcry is- made against slave-grown sugar, most of the coffee imported into England is the produce of slave labour, and it generally makes two voya.es— FlßES IN NEW YORK.—(From an American one from the Brazils or Cuba, or wherever else it may Paper.

POSTAGE DUTIES. ie The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUEgt t „ moving for leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the Fogel , ' r duties, said that, at present, in consequence of the Act last year, the regulation of the Postage duties dep ee t entirely upon a Treasury warrant. This, although at tui t o time necessary, in consequence of the great change A ; in progress, was excessively inconvenient , as it Wag "": sirable that taxation should depend upon Act of Parliatn e , e '' instead of upon a Treasury warrant. It was therefor e 1 , 11 : tended by this Bill to make the regulations respecting tu: weight and postage of letters low by Act of Parlianfeet", instead of leaving it dependent upon a Treasury warren, The only cases in which power would be reserved to $ll., Treasury would be in cases of foreign and colonial Peesit ages. This was necessary, because negotiations were present going on with Foreign Powef.it, which be hoe s would have the effect of reducing the rates of fora postages.—Leave was given to bring in the Bill.

The Court Houses (Ireland) Bill thee went throvgb Committee. Sir JAMES GRAHAM wished to call the attention or the House to a Bill which had passed a third reading, although it was known that both he and the Hon. Member for Cambridge had an objection to urge against it. 116 alluded to the Caledonian Canal Bill. He entered the House at half-past teelve, and was astonished to find it dispsed of. Although it was somewhat irregular, be would call the attention of the Government to the nature of the objection he had intended to urge: All the outlay that had hitherto taken place upon the canal had been by estimate and votes of that House; but by the 3d elauss ay outlay might he made by the Corumissioneet of Woods and Forests out of the revenues at their disposal , su:;je xten: ect only to the control of the Treasury. An outlay t° the of 200,0001. might, under that 3d clatise , be made without t.::(z knowledge, sanction, or control of tb Parliament. He therefore objected to that 3d clause, and it had been his intention, if he had been in the Houl at the time, to have moved a proviso at the e p ,.. of it to the effect that it should not be competent for t° Woods and Forests to expend any money on the Caleda" nian Canal, without first submitting an estimate to th° House of the proposed outlay, and obtaining a vote for lt• He regretted the Bill had passed in such an objectionab le shape. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ob served that that proviso which the Right Hon. Barone,' had been so anxious to introduce, was actually prop ose° with the sanction of the Government, and introduced it ° the 811 in Committee.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) rt e hoped ;he Right Hon. Baronet would, upon future occiv sions, before he made a complaint, have the goo dness OP make inquiries of gentlemen who had the conduct of Bill, or, at any rate, come down to the House in time, ill; stead of getting up and ma k ing a speech after the Bill PI passed, and arguing upon a omission that long ago bs " teen fil'ei up.—(Laughter, and cheera.) Sir JAMES GRAHAM—When was the provis° added ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER' Why, when the Bill was in Committee on Thurs da y . (Laughter.) Sir JAMES GRAHAM explained. He really w h s : not aware that the clause had been introduced; LOS was glad that his object had been gained. Mr. WAKLEY did not think there had been smuggling that morning, but there certainly bad h er. ; great expedition: for when he entered the House at * " minutes past Twelve, at least a dozen orders of tise Olt had been disposed of.—(A laugh.) He was not awa r i that he should have been there at Twelve o'clock, a l ! would be more punctual the next time.—(Renewed l an e " ter.) He was anxious to have offered some remarks ne n : a very important measure, the Custody of Insane Perso Bill, ai,d hoped the opportunity would be afforded him ° a future occasion. Mr. FOX MAULE said the Bill had still two stagq to pass through, and he might avail himself of eit her , hese occasions.—( Hear, hear.) SLAVE BOUNTIES.
