HOUSE OF LORDS.

DIONDAT.—The Marquis of Nortinitiby risked a tires-
two, which he had InnallolloGl on A termer uccarioe,—
vis., whether the nol.de earl would object to produce
any ofliciel reports in his potseession relating to the
recent proceedings in Nutthern Italy, in eouneetion
with tile exiieditions or,l.auiseil by Garhaldi, which had
excited awl caused severe ine•aures of reline-Filen en the
pert of the Piednemtese Government. If they were to
believe • Clew-ant Iruin Turd', all the political prisoners
engaged in those expeditions had sines) been libereteil.
The euliject admitted of two visws. Regarded einiely
SS between trulijeets and their ruler we lied nothing ti
do with it. But it was of vast importance iii the second
point ef view, as to whether Victor Eilimanui I lied the
pow, r to act upon thet which he had announced as his
Mei initiation—to preserve the peace of Europe by the
oltrervance of biternatiiinal utiligations.—Eerl Russell,
who was very indistinctly heard, was under.tood to say
there would be no obje•tion to producer the portions of
Sir J. Hudson's deal etches that were of a public cha-
racter. As to whet had occurred in the North of Italy
there wen great obscurity. Bat there could be no
douht that some person, whether authorised hy Gari-
baldi or not, had used his dames and endeavoured to
get up expeditiens intended to attack a foreign and
friendly power, whether they were to be directed
against the Tyrol, Rome, or the Venetian States.
TUILISDAT.—Lord Granville, in iieneuncitig the di ail)
of Lord Canning to the House, paid a brief but tini,ll-
- and eloyeent tribute to the memory of the de-
ceased, who lied sacrificed, but not thrown away, liii
own lile, arid that of one dearer to him, iii the work of
preserving and strengthening the dominion of his
eovereigti end his country over a vast and prosperous
empire. Lords Chelmsford, Brougham, and Lyvedi ii
alai, joined in the regret expressed by Lord Granville.
THORSDAY.—The recapture of the Emily St. Pierei•
by Captain Wilson, end the demand of the Fedriel
Goveroment for her restoration to lier original capture,
came or. Eail Russell said as the correspondence was
closed he bad tie objection to produce it. He mid the
opinion of the law officers of the Crown wits that there
wee no power ii this country to eurrender the vessel to
the Government of the Ileited States. Although at
first the feet was doubted it turned out that there was
a precedent for the demand teat had been made by
America, and aingulsrly enough the precedent was fur-
nished by 0-eat Britain herself during the Presidency
14 Mr. Adams, when an An-wriest' &hip was reenptured
miler similar circumstances. Thu- precedent was net
admitted, !lowest r, by the American Giiverninent, and
ws the Emily St. Pierre is net to be given irp. Led
Russell also entered into an exi ',nation of the cow se
the Geyer! 1111 l mt, hail pursued with respect to Mexico.
Hesaid the British Government lied been accused of
desertng the French Government heti it became
releseery to carry out the convention for the occult •
tent of Mexico. This was an entire nlisapprehensiee.
The Speutards were to send 3000 troop, the Fret eh
2,5e0, and the British Government were to stud a naval
force. They lied sent out 700 mirines, which force they
had withdrawn. There never had bt en 11ny intention
of sending out land troops, and therefore Her Majesty's
Government could not hove been in an engagement.
being the anniversary of Her Mujesty'e
accession, their lordships did not meet.
