read his despatches ? This had been declined, and the mis-
chief had arisen from his never having been met is the same
spirit by Mr. Wyse. I ebeerved that the offer to come and
look at his despatches was dales according as, in alluding
to their antents, he had accurately stated what they were ;
but how could aaiiie suppose, be reading this letter, that
he had ay know of • premed convention negotiated

I bona Is Melt that ate beet mode of cleating up this
meat win Warfel a Uinta was to go over with his all
the despotism alga bed been earned out by the Valais,
which amid bear wpm this part of the subject. Thu the
general readily agreed to do, and having finished their
perusal, I told the general candidly, that I could see
&athlete in them to justify the expression used in kis des-
patch to M. Drouyn de Limy,. that the riessatill bases of a
seaveation negotiated in London were at that time known
at Athens. I 'Unshod his seriou attention to the bearing
this point mut have upoa all future discussions. It
was evident now, that the blame imputed to Mr. Wyse for
having acted in the face of such knowledge could not be
sustained ; either that knowledge bad been concealed from
Lim at Athens, or it had not Wen is the power of Baron
Gros to comorimicate it• and it so, I was sure he would,
with the candour which I had always experitnced on his
part, be ready to admit that he had put some very incau
Wes expreases Into • very grave document.
The general said that it was way to explain what he had
meant, that the alterations in the original project of Mr.
Wes, and M. Ores had formed the babas of the convention
of L Aida, and this had been in the progress of
negotiation. I begged the general to remark that
if he would reed urchin, this letter of Baron
Gros', be would find that he bad not succeeded is
conveying any such idea to the mind of Biros Gros, or if
(as it now appeared certain) there had been so wiitel coa-
cealment on the baron's part, had he dirtied vie same im-
pression from the despatches by the Vatua, which had been
conveyed to M. Drays de Lbays in the despatch of the 14th
of May, which I now remembered with increased regret had
been read from the trihune (of the Amenthlb an usagesl
proceeding, which demanded peculiu cue in the accuracy
of the expressions used. In tat despatch it was stated that
:In (=negative " of which the sesentlal bases were already
known," was then on the point of arriving at Athens. But
what says Baron Oros on this heed? What does he pr-pose
to Mr. Wyse ? that he should submit M. Ores' propositions
to the British cabinet, and await his last:ructions, and be adds,
that he will send off the Vauban with one and the
other project. How is this reconcileable with the assertion
that the conventicle of London was known to be en the
point of are:vies/ ? If Baron Gros was sincere, the general
then mast admit that that suertion was kb:curate. I wss
sure I might trust to the general's known good faith to
allow that he had been in error hers.
The general said that he would examine carefully Into
the gate:ion ; that even if he had not expatiated himself
very correctly! in this respect, the complaint which the
French government had against that of Bog end re-
mained sill in lull force, and was pointed out in
this very letter of M. Oros, where he alludes, as I had
quoted, to the reference home, and the suspersion in
the interval of coercive measures ; that four times at different
intervals your lordship had promised K. Drouyn de Lhuys
that such instructions should be sent out to Mr. Wyse ; that
from the Ist of March they had been acting on the Nile that
these promises had been executed, and it was to the omission
in that respect that these results were to be ausibuted.
I told the general that I thought what had puled upon
the priocipal "abject of our conversation this moraine would
show him that it was better on neither side to impute sup-
posed omissions or mistake' in the conduct of complicated
affairs of this nature to want of toed faith ; that if the quo.
tion was still approactied in • different spirit, es I had always
wished to treat it, I hoped in consideration of ,the great in
tenets at stake, this matter might be brought to a satisfais.

TIM MAII4VLS Or NO/LX/O.CIST TO TI6OOtICT PALMERSTON.
Paris, Jae 14, le6o.
My Lord,—l have again seen Gement de Lahitte, as he
wished to have some conversation with me after he hal had
an opportunity of mulch ring the contents of Mr. Wye's
despatch of the 31st of May. He began by stating that the
phrase quoted by Mr. Wyse, and to which 1 had so specially
called his attention yesterday, was not the part of that des-
patch of the 14th of May, on which the French government
Lad founded their complaint of the conduct in this affair of
her Majesty's government. It was to be found in the
earlier portion of that despatch, and consisted in the tact
that no instructions to carry out the promise" given, and to
prevent the received of coercive measures in the event of a
difference of opinion between the negotiators, had ever ban
sent to Athens in time to avert the mischief which had oc-
curred. As to the next paragraph, I might observe that
it stated what had been the consanences of such an omission.
With respect to the statement made by him, and by which
Mr. Wyse had supposed himself aggrieved, that the essential
bases of the proposed convention of Lades were then known
at Athens, he had meant that all the essential chenges which
had been made in the projects seat home, on which changes
was founded the subsequent convention, were detailed in M.
Drays de Lhuys' despatch of the 9th of April, which had
been sent out by the Vauban, and therefore if Mr. Wyse
was left in auy error as to what was really brought Oct by
the Vauban, it was his own fault, as he had 'skied the
candid and friendly offer made by M. Gros, to
show him all his despatches. Had he accepted
that offer, he would have been in full possusioa
of the actual state of the ass. I told the general
that I was still obliged to repeat what I had said yesterday,
that I thought the phrase be had himself used was calcu-
lated to lead Mr. Wyse hats the error into which he had
faille; that the genial impression derived from the phew
must have been, and indeed I knew had been, that the bow
of the Convolutes of London being then and there heave,
and its proximate arrival being at the some time spokes of,
it was with dm ageism's* of these facts that the ceenive
=warm were teemed. New, this was direelly the reTele•
of the truth; not only Mr. Wyse did not, bat V. Gree el i
not, know of the proximate arrival of any farther la.m.
genes of a convention agreed to is Ludas, as I had eliewa
yesterday ; because. on the contrary, he proposed to send
their projects to Ludes. Yet I had hard Mr. Wyse attacked
in many quieten for not having waited the two or three days
aseessazy for receiving the actual °seventies, the wen-
WI previa'', of which were then known. This accusation
woe lauded ea the general's words. I wee convinced he
did not mesa them to bear any such siguificatioo, but this
was an additional proof of the disadvantage of giving pre-
mature perkiesity to documents of that grave character,
when all lie espesseioas might not have been very well
weighed.
The general said I was certainly eight in supposing he had
no each inteatioa. Hs could sot have meant to say any-
thing so obviously incosisisteat with dates known to every-
body. He was perfectly ready to state, whomever he had
ausion, that be had near thenglie, as an agernstica of
their complaint, to impute to Mr. Wyse that he had refused
to wait two or three days, having at the time any knowledge
of the seismal, of the oesesatioa of London. The general
then entered into some criticisms of the reasoning which be
stated Mr. Was to have loaded tam the sereaeuse sap-
poaitioas, bet as this has now so practical baring, I do not
think it necessary to trouble your lordship with it.—l have,
ic. (Signed) Mamma.

Glatiow. Jane 18.

Moore. T. Martin sad Borne.—Gentlessen,—]fir. Lange-
land, mate of the Orion, brought to se, between two and
three o'clock today, a letter from Captain Henderson, a
copy of white we enclose. We sent a telegraph message to
you intimating shortly the seelaneoly loss of the Orion this
musing, between one and two, at Portpatriek. • • •
Mr. Laagaland, the :mate, states that there are a great
number of the paneagers saved, probably about 100; many
of them are nearly naked, so we have sent out the Tartar
with a quantity of clothing. The crew was mastered, and
MI found wife, except Graham., the steward, Walker, the
carpenter, and an appointees named Dann. Several pom-
p= have arrived is Glasgow, aria Ardronam—Your oho-
. Ilion servants, G. and G. BUMP.
From the above communication it will be perceived that
'the actual loss of life, so far as the particulars have yet
reached this plus, is still a matter d esopeture, bet the
iaulligence already received leaves no doubt that it will
be very considerable, as from bekermation we obtained this
morning at Masers. Martin and Bosse once, the total
number of passengers on board I aitimated at 170. from
60 to 60 of them being deck and upwards of 100 cabin
era. It is therefore to be feared, judging from the
reet.te.r7/ Messrs. Burns, of Glasgow, that the lots of lice
will not be loss than 60 at least, as stated is our early
edition.
Amongst the passengers are Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence
Gladstone and family, of Clifton-park, Dukenhead, cousin
to Mr. Robertson Gladstone, and Mr. Mose, merchant, of
Water-street. The Orion, when abs left Liverpool, bad en
unusually large samba of pemmican on loud, all her
cabin berths being engaged, sad 11/11074 parties, including
some gentlemen who had arrived from America by the
Buropa. were unable to obtain berths, and fortunately for
themselves were detained in Liverpool, or went by another
mite.
This learning the office of Messrs. Martin sad Burns is
besieged by parties having friends and relations on bond.
severally making inquiries respecting the fete of those con-
nected with them, and the suspenseand anxiety manifested
by many of them Is truly distressing.
About 2 o'clock, Mr. i'leming, of Stirling-gardens, one of
the survivors' came into the Radiance,-Liverpool, and
gave the first public tidings of this most melancholy event.
It appears from hie statement, and what we could other-
wise learn, that between one and two o'clock this morning,
the Orion struck on • snakes rock off l'urtpatrick, and
almost immediately sunk. The passengan and crew rushed
inn the boats, twoof wi.ieh, it is anted, at clam capsized.
owing to the number that crowded into them, and almost all
perished. The number lost is unknown at pr sent, as the
accounts vary tram fi:ty to one hundred, but it is believed
the smaller number is nearer the actual loss. The wrath, r
was Sao ; but the sane said that a slight tog prevailed &Wi-
dens, whilst some ache surviving passengers state that it
was clear weather. As one-half of the fennel Is above water,
the depth at the place where she has sunk will be from fin
to six fathoms. The only name 'mentioned as amongst the
drowned is Dr. BUMS, brother of the Messrs. Bunn, the
owners of the vessel. His body hai been washed ashore before
the survivors left tke seam of the catastrophe. it is feared
that a nuu.bsr of those who have met a watery grave belong
to this place, and in cousequenes, the excitement has ben
ever since most intense.
The number of passengers on board is supposed to have
been 112 ; but no authentic list can be procured this rem
leg, until the receipt of a telegraphic despatch with the
names of those who had booked their bertha at the ease.
0: these who had taken their places on board no sesente
mend sea be had at present, as the ally complete lim Is lost
in the versa. To attempt to account fur the lord this
mile easel on a fine nylht en oar own shores, within a
stmt Metros of the land, where every stone should be fami-
lied
known to these is charge, is at present impossible ; but
we law no doubt that the most searching investigation will
be meet by the owners into a casualty which has eventuated
in such ea awful sacrifice of human life. The rock on which
the orlon 'track is some distance from the shore, acd
passed through the vessel principally in her midship com-
portment, breaking the engines to pieces, and within lee
than tan minutes from the time she struck the Orion was
at the bottom.
From a gentleman who was a paaainger by the Female
steamer, from Fleetwood to Troop, we have received the fol.
additional particulass : It was • quarter to six this
morning, the weather clear and beautifully calm, when, as
the Fenella paned Portpatriek, a boat came out with the
captain of the Orion, to request that the commander of the
resells would take some of the ravivon on board. The
Fermin accordiugly brought to for nearly an hour, and
took on board ten of the survivors. From the accounts
that could be gleaned from their statements, it would
appear that It was exactly a quarter to two when the
vessel struck, not at stem on, but rather towards the
bilge ; and almost immediately after she sunk gradually by
the rad ; and before any of the cabin passengers had time
to dress, the water was up to their knees in the cabin.
The fort boat that was launched was so crowded with the
pahlosersek passengers that she instantly sunk, and almost
sY ell board perished. In the second boat a number of ladies
wore pat, and they reached the shore in safety. In the
meantime the vessel gradually filled with water, and the
mow and passengers were left floating on the surface of the
min waters.
' As aeon u the accident was discovered from the shore a
member of boats put off, and picked up all that could be seen
on the loose portions of the wreck, or swimming
the shore. The wreck lies with the meats and funnel
vertical, and half out of the water; sad to the rigging several
of the survivor clung until they were relieved. The place
whore the wreck lies is not 150 yards from the shore, and
quite close to the lighthouse of l'ortpatrick. At the time
the Fauna left, only nine of the bodies had been recovered.
Such was the awful consternation and excitement smart
the survivors, altar the caturrophe, that very few particulars
beyond those already stated could be learned.
The Tartar, steam-packet, belonging to Moms. Burns,
leaves the Broomielaw the moment she floats, with Mr.
Janus Burns, and Captain Douglas, the marine superintend-
ent of the company, the engineer, and other often, for the
purpose of making ever, effort to ere the easel aad re-
cover the bodies, 44 She likewise Maim with her a quan-
tity of clothing, blankets, provisions, Mrs., for those of the
survivors who may stand in teed of these resseities ; and
likewise a number of oodles for the bodies the drowned.
The number of at board the ill-fated vessel
aow 'desisted to bays Men from 140 to 150, of whom only
16 were steerege. The latter would have the beet chance of
=. e. aved, as they were on deck at the time dthe adm-
it is ascertained that every cabin berth had been
taken, as well se every sots; sad the vessel was rase-
queatly crowded with cabin pmenagen. The greater num-
ber of passenger" were saved by dinging to those portions
of the wreck which remained above water.
The Orion was originally fitted up with weber-den bulk-
heads, and thereby divided into four or five compartments ;
and it has therefore been a matter of surprise that
there should not have bees the means of keeping the vessel
Wort. The probability, however, 4, that she truck 811
