Um a paw which has lasted for a fall month—

egummoris is this evening to resume the dismission
lbs Government Resolutions respecting the future
_ _ _ _

ONO 06.071.11151 t of India. How many of the Mow
boos d theaissas of Commons have once bestowed a II
Ilissiblepss the subject during this interral ofl
:tbirty days ? How many of them bring back to the
rftsessiderstion of the subject more information and
less prepossession and blind prejudice than when it
was last before them ?

And yet there is same change in the posi-
tion al the question in so far me the House of Com-
mons is concerned. A Member of the Hones is
new President of the Board of Control, and
•npon him, both in virtue of his ostensible office, and
the greater pains which he is believed to have
- likes to make himself acquainted with Indian poli-
ties and policy than my other member of the
;,04hinet, the charge of spokesman for Government
*WM seem naturally to devolve. The proses-
element. of Lord ltirsuutv on the all-important
question of the mode of appointing the Council for
India, and of the amount of authority with which it
"le to be invested, is waited for with anxious curiosity.
eigemon rumour has given the noble lord credit for
..• Internal relation to the proposal to vest the noun-
" mate of Eve members of the Council in lee urban
. illestitsmaiss. Of the utterly impracticable charac-
ter of each a mode of election our opinion has been

unceremoniously expreeeed. But we would gladly
believe that the father, or foster-father, of such a
proposal is too firmly convinced of the necessity of
giving an elective character to at least a portion
of the Council, to abandon his conviction, merely be-
muse one of the details of a plea far carrying
it into effect has been rather uncivilly received
.by the general paters. It is to be hoped, moreover,
that Lord STARLIT will not, like his able and ac-
complished predecemor in office, rest satisfied with
endeavouring to obtain a good mode of appointing
the Councillors • it is to be hoped that he will seek to
snare for them some real power and influence after
they have been appointed. Mach of the responsi-
bility for the shape which Government may, under
the influence of external pressure, be disposed to
give their MIMEO for the Home Government of
India, will necessarily attach to Lord STARLIT. He
is the Indian Minister. He is understood to have
taken mach pains to obtain a knowledge of Indian
affairs. He is the son—the alter ego—the epee
alters—of the PREMIER. He is the only one of our
younger nobility—with perhaps the exception of
Lord GODLRICII—who is looked upon as giving
premise of statesmanship. A warm interest has
been awakened in him in many quarters by his per '1
social abilities and by his peculiar position. He ham
on more than one oocsaion evinced great power of
patient and laborious inquiry, and an eminently judi-
cial impartiality of judgment. Although at present
sonneeted with the stand-still, or even retrograde
party, he has given symptoms of a spirit of free inquiry
and of liberal Malaga. Then the hereditary politics
if his Home me those of constitutional liberty,
although his father—the CORIOLLNI*3 of aristo-
cratical Whiggery—is at this moment in a fit of
lasting spleen leading on the Tory Volition' in their
assault on the citadel of Whig Rome. Natural
temperament and the traditions of his House
an one side, deference to paternal authority
en the other, am at war within Lord Stmt.
L ET. Is he to follow the natural bent of his
inclinations, and to avail himself of the advantages
offered him by his social position, for assuming a pro-
minent place among the statesmen who in the imme-
diate futon are to be found in the van of pro-
rate or is he to salmi& into a reluctant con-
formist to the policy ef a party with which he has
as sympathies, and thus to doom his promising
tehmts to premature blight? So long se Load
Deasy remains an active member of the political
world great allowance will he made for his eels ;
and yet every word and deed of that eon will be
watched with the keen-eyed though not unfriendly
jealousy of hope. The queetion of Indian adminis-
indica is one on which the principles of the Eng-
lish parties of Progress and Retrogression do est
necessarily come into ahem and dellasd em
het. It is a sort of neutral grazed an
which a statesman of either potty may gain
Morels. An opportunity is afforded Lord &MUT
is the impending disimions of establishing a high
character with the numerous class which, belonging
strictly to neither party, holds ocautioaelly the
balsams between beck, without offending his present
Masse* we throwing obstacles in the way of a recon-
ciliation with his natural and hereditary 'Sim. In
se far as India is cescerned, the question at issue is
purely administrative. In so far es England is con-
strued, it is a question not of new liberties to be
mabed, but of liberties which are recognised by all
pude§ me entitled to be protected against insidious
enmeshment.

Another eirournstanos which has contributed
in some degree to alter the position of the contro-
versy in the Home of Commons is the intimation eif
the wary Mr. GLAD STONE that he Is at length ;boat
to freak oover. We could hare wished that on reek
ea important oceasion the trumpet had given a lee
uncertain mond. Ia the immediate practical milt

ment the Directors as a Council would retain their

The Minister of the Crown would be enabled
to communicate with them orally, a much
more effective and instructive method than
by formal minutes in writing. Discussion
of important question, of policy would become pos-
sible, and the part taken in all measures
by the Minister and by the Directors be
made more unmistakeably apparent. What ere
desiderate in Mr. Gientrronit's Notice of Amend.
went is a distinct explicit reeognition of the pria4
ciple of election in the constitution of the funs,
Council far India. It is true that a majority of the
present Directors have been elected ; but ander Mgt
ClLADMillell Resolution their appointment weal
become a Parliamentary one; and their eaten:met
tenure of office, if prolonged—or the tenant of their
snessinare, if they were distal's& at the end of the
year—might be transformed into one by Crown ap-
pointment. We are relectant to leave such a question
open. We have contended for something analogous
to the actual Home Government of India ; but it is the
system, not the men, we support. The system
has been the necemary growth of circumstances, and.
its insin featarm ought to be preserved; but wick'
.
all our respect for several of the present membered
the Court of Directors, we should scarcely regard
their mainteaance is odioe as a body a eashet
equivalent for the absence of a system ankles to
that wider which they were originally appointed.

Term have been fresh misunderstandings with
the Arabs in the neighbourhood of Aden, resulting
is a sortie of the garrison, a conflict, and a return to
camp. The facts of the case are briefly these. The
Sultan of Lahedge stopped the 'applies flowing
into as from the interior, and patrolled his followers
np to the outwork' of our camp. Upon this the
Resident and Brigadier Commanding ordered a form
into readiness, marched into the plain, fell in with
the Arabs, repulsed them, drove them into a for-
tified village, and there brought them to terms.
Against the management of the expedition,
considered u a demonstration of mere force,
there Is nothing to object. But we have to
expose oar regret and our surprise that after
twenty years' occupancy of Aden, physical form
should still remain our sole resource for dealing with
these predatory and nomadic tribes. In 1840 the
Arab actually entered our cantonments. In 1841
we retaliated by an expedition into the interior for
the &striation al their strongholds. Some years
afterwards the Arabs avenged themselves by an
attack upon a hunting party of oar officers, one of
whom they murdered. From that date, however, our
gelation' were supposed to be advancing towards a
more satiafastory condition, until the recent conduct
of the Lahedge Sultan revealed the real state of native
feeling, and resulted in the present sortie and blood-
shed.

We cannot but apprehend that the principles
up= which we have proceeded in our relations with
these half•civiliaed or barbaric tribes have from the
first been faulty. We more than doubt whether it was
in the first instance a wise policy to bestow so much
attention upon our defensive works. We are well
assured that it neither was, is, nor can be, good
policy to ignore those higher powers always at the
command of a civilised and :free race, and to mart
those lower means of retaliation and brute force.
Moral sot physical power is the key to our supre-
macy throughout the East. The latter, of course,
must be ready at hand if required, but should
be appealed to only in the last resort,
for a particular object, and in • manner
calculated to impress the minds of those attacked,
not with feelings of our revengeful passion, but
of our just, deliberate, aid temperate resolve to
secure peace for ourselves and for our neighbours.
Walls, forts, and all defensive precautions are
liable to be iuterpreted by ignorant tribes into signs
of fear. They embolden hate ; they imply distrust;
they create separation ; and they permit our own
soldiers to trust to artificial defences in lieu of to their
own arms, their own energies, and their own com-
mon sense. If, foregoing all defensive works, we
had scouted the possibility of attack by these ma-
rauders; if we had maintained patrols of Irregular
Horse constantly moving in front of our position ;
if we had taught these troops to treat
plunderers and highwaymen as vulgar, cri-
minal, and disreputable, as creatures to be
pitied and punished where requisite but never to
be feared ; it we had persistently appeared among
the tribesmen as protectors of peaceable men, as
encouragers of trade, as above blood fetid and
retaliation, and as desirous only of dealing justly
and securing justice—if we had continuously pro-
ceeded thus, we might, indeed, have had at Bret to
put down violence with a strong hand, but oar
strength once known, felt, and respected, we should
have been enabled to act upon the Asa& better
nature, and we should long ere this have been
aided by themselves in securing mutual benefits and
in preventing violence.
It is impossible not to contrast our relations to.
wards these Aden tribes, with those established, in
• few years, with borderers as savage, and at ens
tine not leas hostile, upon the frontiers of Upper
Scinds. We cannot forget that, awakened appe-
rently to a perception of this contrast, the govern-
ment at Bombay directed the commandant on the
&dude frontier to detach a squadron of his horse for
service at Aden. We saint forget that, owing to a
rejection of General JACOBS'. choice of an CANT
habituated to similar duties, the detachment mis-
carried, and has not, after a lapse of some years, yet
remised Ados.

It is time that a dosage in principle should be
adopted in oar oonduct towards the Arab tribes. By pro-
ceedieg as at present, we can only perpetuate hatred
and renew bloodshed. Such expeditions, undertaken
under a fierce sun, and cheerfully carried to victory,
relent honour on our soldiers, but they as eertainly
do not increase our reputation as rulers. The
present Is not a time when we can afford to
mate influence in the Fast—least of all al we
afford to do so in the neighbourhood of Central Mkt
and we do trust that for the future, moral and not
physical force may be principally regarded in all
our relations with Asiatics.

shanty trustees of his department, the prefect de-
sires them forthwith to hold special meetings to take
into consideration the reasons urged by government
in brow of the measure. He continues :

After this it does not seem probable that there
can be any truth in the report that the obnoxious
measure was about to be withdrawn. It is an old
and favourite project of the Emperor, who once
when Odißoa Barret was minister asked him to
bring it forward, but that statesman refused.

The Nord positively contradicts a statement
circulated in England that General &plume was
about to resign.
On the 9th of funs a Frenchman, named Le-
gendre, will be tried by the Correctional Tribunal
of Boulogne, on a charge of conspiracy. He was
arrested in March last, and in the folds of his
cravat there were found two copies of a " letter to
parliament and the press," signed by the revolution-
ary committee, Felix Pyat, Bowan, and Tallandier.
Legendre had been travelling about in France for
two or three years, his ostensible badness being to
obtained orders for " patent hygienic horse-bits."
It is rumoured that he has made important revela-
tions touching a new attempt on the Emperor's life,
which wee to have been made in June. He, himself;
it is said, was asked to take charge of a fulminating
bomb.

Yesterday at noon Lient. de Mercy was publicly
degraded on the Place Bellecour, at Lyons. De-
tachments from the different regiments composing
the garrison formed square. The prisoner being
brought into the centre in full uniform, a sergeant
stepped forward and tore off his epaulette and the
scale on the other shoulder, throwing them at the
lieutenant's feet. His sword was then broken, and
the pieces were also thrown at his feet. The next
step was to tear off the buttons of his uniform, and
the military degradation was then complete. Lient.
de Mercy appeared very calm, except at the mo-
ment when the nergeaut seised his epaulette, when
he raised his arm smartly in an attitude of resist-
ance. He was marched off the parade-ground to
the prison of St. Joseph, followed by a great crowd.
The Daily News and Globe were seized to-day.
PARIS, SATITIDLY &VINING.
The conference assembled to-day pursuant to an-
nouncement. It is reported that Count Walewaki
will come to Paris from Fontainebleau again on
Thursday next, from which it is inferred that the
conference will agaia meet on that day. The Bourse
has been more depressed than ever to-day. The au-
thorities have the incredible fatuity to attribute the
continued fall to the propagation of false news ; and a
placard signed by the Prefect of Police wu posted in-
side the Baum to-day, etatirg that the Commissary
of Police, attending the Bourse, had received orders
to use especial diligence to arrest all persons retailing
false reports. The effect of this, as might reasonably
have been expected, was to make matters much worse.
The Rents fell 10 o. for cash and 15 o. for account,
closing at 69.35 in each cue. Mobilier was very
heavyindeed, and fell 12.50. The Orleans railway
fell 12.50,and the other lines from sf. to 10L There were
some purchases to realise profits within the last few
minutes.

The Official Gazette of Teheran, in announcing
that the Shah of Persia has subscribed to the fund
for the widows and orphans of English soldiers
massacred in India, mays that the English have been
leo thoroughly threshed and are in such great want
of money that they are obliged to ask for help in all
quarters. For this reason, adds the journal of the
court of Teheran, " the Sublime Muter of Persia
ham condescended to bestow his charity upon the
English government."
The Merseing Post was seized to-day.
A M. de Onset has been elected a member of the
Corps Legialatif for a section of the Orne by 14,328
votes out of 27,178, the remainder of which were
distributed amoog various candidates, most of whom,
it is alleged, were eqnally devoted to government.
It is also said that the government, for the first time,
abstained from nominating a candidate. No reliable
particulars of the election are however yet known.
A letter from %Kier, in the Messagsr du Midi
says M. Bonaire°, brother to the director of
the Oraissessac to Beziers Railway, and If. Son-

The Tribunal of Correctional Police yesterday
tried 14 men, one in flight by default, for having
formed a secret political society for the assassination
of the Emperor and the overthrow of the govern-
ment. It was proved, and not denied by some of the
messed, that the society existed, and that its inten-
tion was to make an attempt to kill the Emperor,
and create insurrection in the early part of March ;
also that it was in communication with refugees in
London, and received a delegate from them, and that
it was likewise in sommonication with the conspiracy
at Chalons-our-Saone. It was further proved that
the conspirators met in wine shops in the Rae da
Petit-Carreen, the Rue de Charenton, and the
Boulevard Cont escarps, and in the gardens of the
Palais Royal and Luxembourg. Ludy, it wee shown
that some of the men had attempted to make ful-
minating powder, and had been appointed chiefs of
particular districts in Paris to take part in the pro-
jeoted insurrection. One of the prisoners admitted
that he bad discussed with some of hie fellow-con-
spirators the beet plan of killing the Emperor, and
that they had come to the conclusion that it would
he to stop his Majesty's carriage when out driving,
and then to attack him. The tribunal condemned
three of the men, named Moulin, Aubrey, and
Limes, to 18 months' imprisonment, and the first-
named to 500 f. fine, and the lead two to 3001. each;
one, named Champin, to 15 months' imprisonment,
and 200 f. fine; another, Bomnichon. to 13 mouths,
and 200 f. flue ; another, Marly, to six mouths, and
100 f. fine ; three others to three months leek cos

BERLIN, Inn 4.
The possibility of the King's restoration to health
is more than ever doubted. At the last consults,
don, Dr. Schoeuleie, who has the reputation of
being the first physician is Germany, could not con-
ceal his opinion that a ours was not to be hoped for.

three months more in July next. This will be the
last prolongation. The necessity of taking some de-
finitive step hu become so generally recognised that
even the persons who form part of the King's house-
hold advise the solution.

"It is said that while at Coburg Prince Albert
signed the document by which he makes over his
hereditary rights to.the Duchy of Coburg to his
second son. The reigning Doke of Saxe-Coburg
has no children, and Prince Albert, who is the
nearest Agnate, is detained by his position in Eng-
land. As there would b• some inconvenience in
the Prince of Wales, who will be King of England,
being reigning Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the
second son has been selected. The young Prince is
shortly expected at Berlin, and will remain some
time in Germany to prepare himself for his position
as a Gel= Prince.

Ring of Prussia."

THE AFRICAN MAILS,

(Di imscrazo TILZOILAPIL)

PLIIIIOIITII, XOWDAY.

The mail steamer Ethiope, Captain Croft, arrived
at Plymouth, from the wept ooast of Africa, last
night (Sunday); her dates are from Fernando Po,
April 29; Bonny, May 6; Lagos, 7; Accra, 9;
Caps Coast, 11 ; Liberia, 16; Sierra Leone, 19 ;
Bathurst, 23; Gores, 24 ; Teneriffe, 29 ; Madeira,
31. Her cargo consists chiefly of palm oil and
ivory, and 300 ounces of gold dust. She brings 27
passengers, amongst whom are his Excellency Sir
Benjamin Pine, Governor of Cape Coast Castle, from
Lagos; and Captains Campbell and Hickley, R.N.,
Sierra Leone.

The Myrmidon was at Fernando Po, disabled,
awaiting orders from England. The Plato left
Bonny on May 4, for Old Calabar, with her Bri-
tannic Majesty's Consul on board. The Hale was at
Lagos. At Sierra Leone the Ardent was expected
to leave foe the leeward coast, and the Childen and
the Spitfire were about to leave on a cruise. The
Armenian, African mail packet, outward bound, was
at Madeira.

When off Caps Palmas on the Bth of April,
on board the Regina Coeli, a French emigrant
ship, the passengers (natives, who were to be taken
to the French colonies), mutinied, and massacred
all the crew, with the exoeption of the captain
and six men, who were on shore ; and the doctor,
wham the mutineers spared, and two men
to steer the ship. The vessel wu fitted-up as a
slave ship, and the other passengers, about 680 in
number, were made close prisoners immediately on
their arrival on board. A part of them, however,
while on deck airing, seized an opportunity to make
themselves masters of the ship. Two hundred and
fifty et the mutineers swam on shore on the 13th of
April, and were killed as they landed by the cap-
tain of the vessel and his allies on shore. The ves-
sel was ultimately captured off the Callenu by the
Ethiope, and carried into Monrovia, where the re-
mainder of the emigrants on board made their
escape. The Regina is detained there awaiting ad-
judication for salvage. She wee taken to be char-
tered to convey thou emigrants to the Mauritius,
but a rumour was ant that the destination was
nearer Henault. Trade was brisk, and the coast
averagely healthy.

UNITED BT4TIS:

ARRIVAL OF THE PERSIA.
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY Eviumio.

The Persia arrived this afternoon from New York,
when she had been detained till five in the after-
noon of the 27th tilt. by fog, and likewise, it is
rumoured, to carry despatches.
The Washington arrived at New York on the
evening of the 23rd, and the Africa on the morning
of the 27th, both from Liverpool. The Glasgow,
from Glasgow, arrived on the 28th.
The New York Nereid reports mote alleged out-
rages on American ships by the British squadron in
the Gulf of Mexico, and says great excitement con-
tinues to prevail at Washington in reference to these

In Congeals, the Senate had unanimously adopted
the resolution offered, directing inquiry as to whether
additional legislation is necessary to enable the Pre-
sident to protect American vessels against British
aggressions in the Gulf of Mexico or elsewhere. The
committee on foreign relations, to whom the resolu-
tion was referred, were directed to report by bill or
otherwise. "The subject of recent British outrages
in the gulf," says the Herald," is receiving from the
administration the attention that its importance
demands."

In the Senate, the bill providing for the admission
of Oregon into the Union was paned by a vote of 343
to 17. It will no doubt pass the House at an early
day—thus making three new States, Hanes, Min-
nesota, and Oregon, added to the Union during the
present session of Congress.
The bill providing for daihilai,g the boaadary
between the United States Masker, and Texas wsi
also passed.

The house committee on ailed affairs had re-
ported a bill authorising tbe. eonstruction of ten
steam gunboats ; and it is stainLtisat the commit-
tee an foreign relations will peeper* to largess the
