THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY WENING, MAY 22, 11358.

Lord Jose ROASKI.L, with reference especially to a
motion of which Sir DC LACY Evw.vii had given notice,
explicitly condemning the confiscation policy of Lord
Cams two, expressed hie Orneet desire that Perlis-
remit should not, in the present crisis of our Indian
'airs, and in the necessary absence of adequate
materials sad competent knowledge, be asked again
to prosoance a judgment on the public conduct
of Lord CANNING ea Governor-General. In this

recommendation all reasonable men will be strongly
disposed to concur : it ia impossible, however, not to
remark on the singularity of its being urged by a
statesman who is generally regarded u an uncom-
promising assertor of the competency and right of
Parliament to take into its own hands the govern-
ment of India. Mr. Jonx Batonr closed the dis-
cussion by declaring that he entertained no feeling
of animosity against the old party leaden, and only
trusted that what had jest taken place might prove
to them the necessity of a more free and genial com-
munication with those gentlemen who had hitherto
been expected to support their measnres without
being admitted into their counsels.
Thus, like so many other political affairs in this
free and constitutional country, the great " faction

fight' has ended in a compromise. No one who
really has at heart the dignity of the House, the
welfare of the country, and the safety of India, can
regret the result. The question had long tran-
scended the narrow limits within which the literal
terms of Mr. CARDWELL'S motion would have con-
fined it. It had become a question, as Sr Janes
GRAHAM put it in his admirable speech, between a
policy of confiscation for India ands policy of amnesty.
After the receipt of Sir JAMES OIITRAM'S remonstrance,
it had become utterly impossible for any honest sup-
porter d Lord PALWRISTON to vote the substantial
approval of the policy which that remonstrance con-
demned. Hence the protest before which the noble
lord, however reluctantly, was compelled to give
way. No doubt there may have been other and
lower feelings at work : their influence, indeed, wu
more than sufficiently betrayed by one or two of the

Pahnerstonian revolters. But, on the whole, it is
only fair to admit that the House was mainly
aetaated by higher and more dignified impulses.
The country, whose instinctive good sense and just
feeling revolted from the notion of making the des-
tinies of India turn on the conflicts of party, will
rejoice at the result. The Liberal party must feel
well satisfied at having escaped the necessity of
going to the hustings on a false issue. The
leaders of the Liberal party ought to learn wisdom
from the event. The great need of the party is har-
mony and re-consolidation. These ends are better to
be secured by extending the basis of confidence and
the scope of legislative effort, than by devising dex-
terous motions which involve either no principle at
all, or none which honest and intelligent Liberals I
can consistently support.

DAY.)

Thin morning the mortal remains of the late
Duchess of Orleans were removed from Richmond, Sur-
rey, fa Interment in the mausoleum at Miss Taylor's
chapel, Weybridge, in accordance with the last de-
sire of the illustrious demand. A large number of per-
ems collected on the line along which the remains of her
royal highness were to peas, desirous of paying this
led mark of respect to a lady whose exem-
plary private life has drawn to a dose. From
ea early hour In the morning the minute bells of the
neighbourhood were tolled, sad the trading establialunents
were partially closed at Richmond. The pleb, on the coin
bore the following inscription:

clergy, medical attendants, and household of the illustrious
family, with the private carriage of the deceased, and many
others of the royal family and nobility.
Upon the mournful cortege reaching the chapel at Wey-
bridge, the service was performed in a most impresiive man-
ner. The Duke d'Auneds, the Count de Paris, and the
Duke de Chartres, were nue allseted.

A writer in the .Ithencrum observes of the late
Duchies of Orleans —" All her views and seatimenta were
high and great. Never, in the moat Intimate oonvereatka,
was a particle of resentment spinet these who had at
corny ill-treated her discernible. fihe always spoke with
the deepest attachment of the French people, and the most
eeneest wlaheefor their prosperity ; nor would she suffer any
severe otemainde upon them. On one occasion, shortly after
the marriage of Louis Napoleon, somebody repeated one of
the many stories told to the disadvantage of the present
Empress of the French. The duchess immediately put an
end to the oceivereatioa, end requested that nothing to the
disparagement of that isdy might ever be said in her
presence."

A Washington telegram says the great falling off

be preferred, as it is supposed it can be obtained at
3 per cent. The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald says, although the house by 11
majority ordered the resolution proposing the abro-
gation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty to be engrossed
for • third reading, the vote on setting it aside
by 10 majority, to take up the Minnesota Bill, is
regarded as a decided expression against the former
measure. This motion was made by a member of
the Committee on Foreign Affairs, who is against
the resolution which is now on the Speaker's
table. The resolution was, it is said, reported
without consultation with the President, and
has no precedent since 1798, when the United
States abrogated the treaty with France. The ad-
ministration is opposed to the resolution at this time
because it would embarrass the negotiations now
pending for the settlement of the differences be-
tween the United States and Great Britain, and force
upon the Presiient an aggressive policy unfavour-
able to the peace of the two countries, and disastrous
to the settlement of the Central American question.

The Salut Public of Lyons contain' the follow-

A telegraphic despatch oonutinnioates tow the commute-
don, by the Emperor, of the sentence of death pronounce:ion
Lieutenant de Marty. The despatch is silent respecting the
punishment which will be inflicted on him ; but in all pro-
bability It will be perpetual imprisonment, u in the one of
Captain Column. . . .

If it were possible in this country to criticise the
acts of the executive power, it is certain that public
opinion would not approve of this exercise of the
prerogative of mercy. Lieutenant de Mercy was
found guilty by two successive courts martial of a
foul and treacherous murder, which he sought to re-
present as a duel, by falsehoods which were laid
bare by evidence. He hung up in its place the
sabre with which he committed the murder, and
snapped asunder the foil, to countenance the tale
that he and his victim had been fencing. Captain
Doineau, to whom the Salul Public not in-
aptly compares De Mercy, was found
guilty, as you will remember, of conspir-
ing to murder a Sheik, he being at the time in
• position of trust—the chief of a bureau Arabs
in Algeria. The righteous sentence of death on the
man who thus disgraced the French army, was in-
deed commuted to imprisonment for life, but the
Salut Public omits to state that a few months after-
wards he received a free pardon. Bad as was the
conduct of Lieutenant Hyena in the affair of Vesinet,
it would be indeed unfair to compare him with
either of the atrocious criminals above mentioned.
It is scarcely therefore to be expected that he will
meet with any serious punishment.

The Presse, speaking of a rumour that the Arch-
duke Maximilian has urged his brother, the Emperor
of Austria, to initiate extensive reforms in Lom-
bardy, says:

We do not doubt that the intentions of the young Arch-
duke are excellent, but can they be realised? Is it to be
hoped that the government will lend itself to a measure which
would give new force to the "Italian spirit"—the dearest
wish of which is to shake off the Austrian yoke? This is
just the most melancholy feature of the position of Austria
in Italy. She can ameliorate nothing, and it seems as if all
the good she attempts to do necessarily turns against her.
Such are the bard conditions of a false situation !

(nom ova °wig

ROME, MAT lb.
Pio Nono, in the laudable desire to effect a recon-
ciliation between the long-estranged brother and
rioter, King Ferdinand of Maples and Queen Chris-
tina of Spain, concocted • plan for bringing the
royal parties together at Porto D'Anzio in the be-
ginning of this week. His Holiness set out for that
little seaport village on Sunday afternoon, and ar-
rived at a quarter before seven at the gate of the
Franoiscan Convent, where he was received by Car-
dinals Patrizi and Roberti, the Minister of Finance,
the local magistracy, and the monks. The palace
bought for the Pope's residence, and formerly known
as the Albani-villa, not being yet ready for his
accommodation, he took up his residence in the
convent, where he received the customary deputa-
tions from Nettuno and Porto D'Anzio, and the
complimentary visits of Prince Borghese, the Duke
of Sort, and other proprietors of the neighbourhood.
On Monday morning the King of Naples was ex-
pected to arrive, but his steam frigate was looked
out for in vain, as the sea was either too rough to be
enjoyable, or his Majesty purposely delayed his
arrival, with • view to shirking the proposed inter-
view with his sister. His Holiness, therefore,
amused himself with inspecting the progress of im-
provements and embellishments in his palace, and
dined at the primitive hour of two, with the cardi-
nals and ministers present, besides the Neapolitan
grand master of the ceremonies, Marchese del Vast°,
Prince Borghese, the Duke of Sore, and General de
Oregorlo. At four o'clock in the afternoon Queen
Christina arrived from Rome, in the fall
expectation of an immediate interview with
her redoubtable brother, through the peace-making
mediation of the benevolent Pio Nono. Her
Majesty had left the Palazzo di Spegna about noon,
with her damn di cert.!, the Doke of Rianzares re-
maining in Rome upon so delicate an occasion.
No King of Naples having made his appearance,
however, the Pope and Queen Christina went down
to the port, and consoled themselves by witnessing
the aquatic sports of boat-racing, duck-bunting, and
running along soapy bowsprits, which were vigo-
rously carried on by the sailors, his Holiness and her
Majesty occupying a stand erected for that purpose
on the mole commanding the harbour. The exploits
of the fishermen and sailors were followed by the
explosion of petards and fireworks, and the general
gaiety was only damped by the non-arrival of King
Ferdinand. Accommodation for travellers, eye-
chilly for kings and queens, being at the lowed pee-
sible ebb at Porto D'Anzio, and the Pope being, of
coarse. unable to offer a lady hospitable reception in
the Franciscan convent, Queen Christina was
obliged to give up the idea of an interview with her
brother, and set out again at ten o'clock at night
for Rome, where she only arrived at two o'clock the
next morning. Had her Majesty been able to wait
at PorW D'Anzio until Tuesday morning, she would
have had an opportunity of testing the forgiving
disposition of King Ferdinand, who arrived at six
o'clock with the Queen, the royal family, and his
Royal Highness Don Sebastian, and proceeded at
once from the harbour to the church, where at that
early hoar the Pope was already preparing to cele-
brate wows

After his ecclesiastical duties Pio Nono proceeded j
to the hospitable reception of his royal guests, whom
he entertained subsequently at dinner, together with
Cardinals Patriziantr Roberti, the whole party paying
a visit to Nettuno in the afternoon, and receiving the
sacramental benediction together in the principal
church. Meanwhile the sea was becoming more and
more irritated by the impetuous attacks of the
seiroceo, and towards evening the wind and the
waves were so high that King Ferdinand felt un-
comfortable at the idea of re-embarking. The Pope
entreated him not to risk exposing himself and his
family to the nocturnal freaks of the tree.
cheroas element, and the result was that his
Majesty consented to pass the night in the
Casa Communale of Porto D'Anzio, his beds and
cabin indispensablea being brought ashore from the
vessel for himself and his family, with the aides-de-
camp, &c., fourteen persons in aIL Fifty beds were
provided in the village by hook or by crook, thanks
to the exertions of the Pope's maestro di easel, Signor
Smna, whose activity an the occasion was highly
laudable.
On the morning of the 12th the royal family heard
mass celebrated by the Pope, of whom they after-
wards took a tender leave and embarked for Gaeta,
where they arrived after a somewhat stormy passage
at half-past five in the afternoon. The Pope left
Porto D'Anzio on the same day, and reached Castel
Gandolfo towards gonad. His Holum' is not ex-
pected back in Rome before the festival of San
Filippo Neri.
