In answer to this appeal we expressed our deep concern
that there kid been any anunderstandlog on so important
a matter, but our entire acquiescence in the King's opinion
ttat his Majesty ought not to be bound by a consent an-
wuily given to Important public measures under a misa;-
prebensloa of their real character and import. After a abort

of prourediags hi the House of Commons for the following
day; and addressing himself particularly to me, who had

what MUSS you propose to tate to-morrow." I replied that '
with all deference and respect for his Majesty, I could not

The Chaccellor intimated his entire witisies:eoce la the
warm which the Dake of Wellington and I proposed to
pursue.
His Majeety was pleased to express his deep regret that
we could not remain in his service eonsistiently with our
sense of honour and public duty. His Mejeety said, more-
over, that he could not be surprised at oar decision, or
hiatus us for the ooaelnaion at which we bad arrived.
Oar interview with his Majesty last-d for the long period
of Ave hours. There was nniotermittidconvenation dune'
the whole Use, bat nothing materiel passed excepting Oat
the purport of which I have faithfully reported. At the
close of the interview the King took leave of us with great
ocespesure and great kindness, gave to each of us a salute on
each cheek, and eccepted oar resignation of odic*, fre-
gamely expressing his einem regret at the necessity which
emnpelled us t e retire from his envies.
The following pangs, having referent's to this inter-
view, are extracted from ;he memoranda left by Lord Eldon
of the convenations wh,ch he had with his Illaje4y a few
weeks subeequeatly to oar conference with the King.
Lord Eldon saw the King on the 28th of March cad on
the 9th of April. Is the 'merit of the conversation of the
first day is the followirg passage:
LORD ELDON'S MISIORRNDA.

" The King complained that kid never seen the bills,
ko tie —that he woo in the stets of apart= with a pistol
presented to hie breast—that he had nothing to fell book
upon—that hie wriaistare had threatened (I think he said
Wheat the time any seeing him) to resign if the pressures
were set prosamind ire and that he had said to them Go on,'
when ha know sot bow to relieve himself from the state in
whisk les was pissed, and that in ore of those meeting*,
whoa reaigsatles war threatened, he was urged to the sort
of asseast be gave by what pseud in the interview be***
him and his ministers, till the *terns+ and talk had
brought him into such a state that he hardly knew what he
was about, whey he, after several boars said Go on.' "
See p. 610, vol vii.:Campbell's Chancellors.
Is speaking of his interview with the Kin on the second
day, Lord Eldon observes :
" This led to the Kiog's mentiosiag again what he had
to my as to bismuth. In the firmer interview it had been
represented that, after mash soaversation twice with his
inhistets or soak asked some does, he had said ' Go on
sad spas the lance of thew two occasions, after many hours'
&thus aid *shunted by the furies of ooacreastion, he
had said Go es' He now produced two papers, whir*
he reprosenterd as copies of what he had written to them, in
which he assents to their proceeding, and going on with the
bill, adding certainly in each, as he read them, very strong
ocuists* of the pain and misery the proceedings gave
him."—Campbell's Chancellors, vol. vii., p. 612.
Lord Elden mast have misunderstood the account which
he received from his Majesty of our interview with the
King. In the first place there was only ohs interview snob
as that to which I hive referred—one interview, I mese,
between his Majesty and certain of his minister*, in which
the offer of resignatios was made. In the seciond glace his
Mvjesty did not give us at the close of the intarciew per-
mioson to "go ore." His Majesty accepted from each of PS
the tender of evaluation, and we retaraed to London under
the fall penaaaioa that the government was dissolved—at
hest that we individually were no longer in the service of
the crown. On our return to London we joined oar pol-
luting, who were assembled at a cabinet disuse (I think
at Lard Dathent's), and annoaneed, to their loffnite
astoeishment, that we had soused to be members of the
governspnt.
A sadden change, however, took plus in the Kieg's in.
OHIO se. At • late hour oa the evening of the 4th of March
the King wrote a letter to the Duke of Wellington, inform-
ing him that his Majesty autielyced so much difficulty in
the attempt to form another adminietration, that he ...mid
not divines with oar services; that he meet therefore
desire as to withdraw one resignation, sad that we were at
liberty to proceed with the measures of which notice had
hue gives is parliament.
The Duke of Wellington sent immediately this letter to
me : I kept no copy of it, and am giving from memory the
purport of this and the following communications with the
Kis, on the same subject.
Zither the Duke of W.lliagtoe °burred in sending this
letter to me, or I suggested to the duke in retuning it, that
after what bad passed in the morning, the mere permission
by his Majesty to premed with the measures was sot nal-
chat authority, aid that we might to mike a farther i
reference to the Wag for the purpose of seurtaining die
Hotly whitish we were authorised to Man parliament
that the measures In contemplation were prop° ed by us
with the satire enneent and aunt on of his Majesty.
Accordingly, a reference to this effect was made to his
Majesty is the sum of the night, and an answer was re.
seined from the King giving as full authority to proceed
with the wesearse in question.
For the purpose of silencing all cavil on this subject, is
op* lag those measures on the following day is the House
of Comatose I commenced my musk is this manner:—
" I rise se • minister of the King, and sustained by the
jest authority which belongs to that *erecter, to vindicate

Is Molar the partiaalan of our interview with the
King, I have confined myself to a narrative of lute. I
have no information as to the (decenniums which led to

tkst interview, sad know sot whether it took plate inclu-
sively by the King's own desire, sad for the eausf,ction of
his Majesty's owe feelings, or at the snsgeetlon of others.
It is manifest from the published "Life of Lord Eldon,"
that Lord Hid= was is confidential entsminication with
the Kis; on the ma'am of the goverammt before they
had passed the House of Lords; bat there b, I believe,
so rrtvresite to say each comasaaicatios having takes

PRINCE NAPOLEON ON BRITISH INDUSTRY.

Prince Napoleon passes a verdict upon the indus-
try of Groat Britain in hie fatteoming week entitled,
" Visits to the Universal Exhibition, by the Prim Napt-
loos."

Oe ?What; the prodects of the Eagliar department, we
were 'track, he says, at once by the order and harmony with
which they were arranged. Everything, horn the simples of
opal to the molt complicated machines, from the costly gold-
smith's work of Landon to the steels of Sheffield and the
fabrics of Manchester and Glasgow, was clawed with that
almost mathematical precision which characterises the na-

ties. It Jong to understand, by studying the various de-
partments of this exhibition, the strength and vigour that
prevail in this intelligent country. We wet. struck, above
all, by the superior application of mechanical force, by
the perfection of tools, by the sagacious use of raw
material—by the care, in short, shown in every branch of
industry, from the ►umblest to the most important. This
industrial genius of the two oountriee (Prance and Eng-
land) has revealed itself in a marked manner. From the
Paris Eabibittoa, as from that of L melon, this incontes-
table economic fast has been proved, via..—that if England
shines by the quality and cheapness of her good., Frances
excels by the taste and delicacy of her workmanship. If
we pain frau these general considerations to details, we shall
acknowledp that by the side of the pro facts for the elabo-
ration of which Ea?land hold, the first rank, she has
exhibited articles that pr..ve the progress she has made.
Ater cloths rival those of France and Prussia; her silks
bold their plies by their cheapness; her goldsmiths an
more artistic; her clockwork is without fault; her glass

manaf►etares are remarkable for their clearness and eat-
tie`; her chemise' products, for which she wee, till lately,
indebted to foreign countries, are frau her own soil ; her
ceramic manntactares are spread all over the world, corn-

sanding by their cheapness end solidity; sad her 'p-
ilastery, printed papers, and area mama fancy att'clse,
eabibit a marked feeling for art. Bat the der-Waal
of the iatimational jury speak more strikingly than
all mianseataries. 2,674 British exhibitors commanded

1,847 rewards. The samples of Beet& metallargy were
remarkable for the cars with which they bad bun collected.
Two hudred 'ample, of coal were carefully inemibed with
the me to which each maple night be applied. The oul-
leetion of boa included every variety, from cut and worked
Ina down to the iron ore. Lord Grenville sent a sheet of east
iron end two rail., which gave a fair idea of the productive
power of Bushel% fanndries. The ornamental iron work
from the Coalbrookdale Company attracted the Prince's

attectiou by the parity of their iesign widths perfect work.
Nor ware the agrieultural products less worthy of attention.
The collections, as arranged by Nr. Wilson, received the ap-
proval of the Prince. It included all cultivated plant?.
The collection of English 'auditory was as complete as it
was varioua Such names as the Penns, the Whitwerths,
the Stephentoos, and the Fairbairn•, give an idea of the
importance the English attached to this department of Omar
sahibitioo.

The Prince tarns to the English colonies, end describes
them as the finest jewel in the crown of the United King-
dom. They explain the prodigious development which
the political and industrial fortune of England has ac►ieved
within the lest forty years."

THE PARES TO MORROW.

The Times gives our fellow-townsmen the following
advice :—" There must not be any riot or disturbance is
the parks or elsewhere to-morrow. Every respectable
person who may fad himself at any of these places most
reckon himself es a special constable there present to main-
tain, net to violet*, order. There is nothing the fanatical
party so eagerly and Intensely desire se a violation of the
passe and in this hope they must not be gratified. It will
be highly to the honour of this Loodosen if any thief
or vagabond who eadmvonn to same ssalmioa Y last
parks to-morrow be instantly collared by the bystanders,
and handed over to the custody of the police. Above
all, there must be no steak upon the constables, who are
there for the maintenance of order, and who must
do their duty, at all events. We say again, most em-
phatically, we trust the Londoners will not give to the
bigots that triumph which they seek. The caw* of Butter-
halt must not for a moment be Identified with the cause of
law and order. It is not with stones or bludgeons that this
battle must be fought, but quite in another way. The rea-
son why the Exeter-hell Fakirs have triumphed is that they
have had an orgaalestion, where the people have had none.
This has bees the iriunsph of • theological phalanx over a
mob of 'arose. As to the Parks, the Eater-hall people
signed, but didn't go. The Park ',opts went, but
didn't sign. Which is the greatest proof of convic-
tion ? The Exeter-hell people have • rrfect organi-
sation, always ready for an emergency. They have in their
owe same corned oat Sir Robert Peel's direction—' Re-
gister, register, register!' What wonder that at any give.
moment they clear the paslismentery field before them,
and astonish their fellowisubjects with the spectacle and
results of their union and intolerances ?
" This content must be decided in a peaceful way, or it
will be decided to the disadvaatage of the pee pie. There is
en additional rearms why we earnestly deprecate riot or
confusion tomorrow. Nest week parliament will be
sitting, and there will be en opportunity of patting clues-
times to the minister, which may, as we trust., lead to •
peaceful solution of the defile:shy. This week, unfortunately,
there has been no poeeibility of dealing with the question
in this m . Now, we would have our fellow townsmen
consider how entirely they will streogthen the hands of
their enemies if they put It in their power to my : The
public peace has been violated. Order must be maintained.
The populate out of doors must not be suffered to
trample upon law and authority, or where is the end to
be ?' At the same time we will add, that it will lee the
fault of the people if they do cot carry their point They
must unite and petition, as their opponerts have united and
petitioned, and them, no doubt, the authority of the ma-
jority will prevail. We think we can premise the aid of
well aigh every respectable journal in the kingdom, if
order be preserved—not otherwise. teethe people do their
pert as we will do sure, and we have little fear of the re-
sult."

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Mr. James Carrie, farmer,

LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 17.

WITH regard to the Italian question, the language
held by Lord CLARENDON in the Conferences, and
the well known leanings of Lord PALMERSTON, leave
little room for doubt as to how the Cabinet stands
affected. Still the Cabinet "gives no sign." Nor
will it unless soured beyond all doubt that the
public will support it. Until it is pertain that the
heart of the notion is earnestly set upon the re-
;lteration of law, liberty, and tranquillity to the
Trace-alpine Peninsula, the Cabinet ought not to
intervene seriously in the affairs of Italy.
It is to be hoped, therefore, that no time will be lost
before measures are taken to ascertain—as far at least
as the voice of Parliament can be held to be an index
—what the national sentiment on this subject is. Lord
Jour Rt ssett. has spoken well and wisely on the
condition of Italy in the House of Commons; will
he not follow up the blow by embodying his words
of warning in a substantive motion ? At the request
of Lord CLARENDON, Lord LYNDHURST 'postponed
his motion on the state of Italy ; but since the publi-
cation of the Protocols of the Paris Conferences, there
exists no longer any reason foe abstaining from the
discussion of the subject. Both of these statesmen
are at present untrammelled by the fetters of office,
and therefore more favourably plead than Ministers
for eliciting an independent expression of the views
of the British Parliament respecting Italy.
But the subject is not one which admits of being
made a mere opportunity for displaying skill in dia-
lectic fence. It is an urgent practical question.
In the North of Italy—from Genoa to Bologna—pre-
parations are making for an outbreak against the
Austrians. The object of intervention must be so to
redress the disturbed balsam of power in that
region as to prevent the necessity; of an immerge-
tioo, which would beyond a doubt spread to all parts
of the Peninsula, and perhaps further. U England
throw herself between the oppressors and the
oppressed, order may still be re-established in Italy
without recourse to arms. As yet it is only the
constitutional party that is on the alert; and the
patriotic letter of MANILA shows upon what support
this party may reckon, beyond its own immediate
rank., if earnestly and promptly upheld. As yet the
lees reasooing and more impulsive ultra-Liberal, are
quiescent, but this state of things csonot long endure.
If the moderate section of the national party in Italy
is abandoned to its fate, a revolution will become both
justifiable and inevitable.
In this matter Italy must be regarded as a whole.
It is all very well to say we will support our ally,
Sardinia ; but this can only be dons by acting on the
rest of Italy. Sardinia is one stronghold of the con-
stitutional party in the Peninsula. Sicily, at the
other extremity of Italy, might, by a mere
energetic expression of determination on the
part
_of England, be converted into another

.
constitutional stronghold. The communication be-
tween thaw countries, allied in interests and anti-
meats, can be easily kept up under the guarantee of
France and Eogland. The secularisation of the
Roman Government, a ith the immediate withdrawal
of the Austrian, and the gradual withdrawal of the
French, troops from the States of the Chunk and the
Duchies, would go far to restore legal government
and tranquillity to Central Italy. The King of
NAPLES would be compelled by the force of events
to restore • constitutional Government to his territo-
ries on the main land. All this is easily practicable
if the fair professions of the French and English
Plenipotentiaries in the Conference of the Bth of
April were not mere empty words. But words alone
will not suffice, unless it is made apparent that Might
is prepared to support Right. The demonstration
will be sufficient, but it mint be made in earnest.
