" We learn from Constantinople, under date of the
10th," says the Dads, "that Fuad Effendi was
expected there the next day from his mission to
Abbas Pacha. Alif Bey was to set out for Egypt,
and thence to Jerusalem, immediately after the
re :urn of Fund Effendi, in order to carry a firman
from the Porte approving of the arrangements
entered into with Abbas Pacha, and to have the
engagements of the Porte with France rela-
tive to the Holy Sepulchre carried into exe-
cution. The Debats of May 29, containing the
firman accorded to the Greeks by the Porte,
on the subject of the holy sepulchre, had been re-
eeiicd by wry of Vienna on the Bth of June. It
appears certain that that document was ante-dated,
that it returned corrected from St. Petersburgb, and
was not handed over for some time after the departure
of M. Lavalette. However that may be, it was
feared that this firman might lead to some complica-
tion in the regulations between France and the Porte.
It was generally looked on at Constantinople as
the indication of dispositions which nothing on
the part of France justifies. As to the question of
quarantine, it appears that the Porte has at length
decidel to sign the convention agreed to at Paris, but
with certain reservations. The financial question
continued to occupy men's minds. Whilst the bank
was endeavouring to come to some understanding with
Europe to give more stability to its operations, the
Porte was taking measures to improve its credit by
reducing its issue of paper money, and on the 10th
the Sultan was to proceed to the hotel of the
Minister of Commerce, where 12 millions of
piastres of that paper were to be burnt. Sir S.
Canning had not yet left Constantinople. At a dinner
given him on the 7tb of June by the English mer-
chants, he had made a speech, in which (with about
two or three exceptions) he had comprised in the
lame accusation of venality and corruption all the
functionaries of Turkey, and drawn a most melan-
ell,°l9 picture of the Ottoman Empire. This outbreak
o' the Britannic representative had excited a great
sensation at Constantinople."

IMPERIAL PARLIAMEN T.

HOUSE OF LORDS, June 25.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his soot on the Woo
sack at Five o'clock.
LEGAL EDUCATION.

Lord LYNDHURST asked the Chief Justice whether
he was satisfied with the present state of legal education?
Lord CAMPBELL said he thought the state of legal
education had hitherto been very disgraceful, but re-
cently stops had been taken to place this in a much
better condition, and be hoped that these improvements
would be carried much further.
Lord BROUGHAM said that, as a bencher of Lin-
coln's Inn he wished to say that he thought it was the
desire of his brother benchers to carry the improvements
lately adopted much further. For his own part, he
thought the degrees sought to be conferred ought to be
the result of compulsory examination.
Earl GRANVILLE brought up the report of the
Select Committee on the mode of Printing the Papers
and Proceedings of the House, and made several sug-
gestions, the nature of which did not reach the gallery.

THE LATE CONVENTION WITH FRANCE.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE then asked the
question of which he had given notice—via., whether

her Majesty's Government intend to announce to Par-
liamentwith her Majesty's Ambas-
sador French Ambassador in London,
at an yr

er
concerning the law lately enacted in France, which
occasioned the withdrawal of the Surrender of Criminals
(Convention with France) Bill presented to the House.
correspondenceth
The Noble Marquis thee went on to say that the Bill on
this subject which had been before the House had been
withdrawn without any explanation by the Noble Earl
opposite. The grounds of that Bill were assumed to be
the existence of a law in Francs—the law of 1808—
which in reality was not now in force in that country.
To frame the Bill that bad been withdrawn some treaty
must have existed with the French Government, and he
(the Marquis of Clanricarde) thought the House had a
right to know the cause of the withdrawal. He did not
under the circumstances, therefore, think that the Noble
Earl had shown Proper considsration either for their
Lordships' House, for her Majesty, or for the Govern-
ment of that country with which he presumed it was
wished to maintain a cordial alliance and amity.
The Earl of lIALMESBURY—I will answer the
question of the Noble Marquis at once. I have no com-
munication to lay before your Lordships' House in the
shape of correspondence MI the subject of his question.
But I am glad ,to be able to state to your Lordships,
that the French Goverment, which, from the moment
we came into office, have always acted in a frank and
friendly manner to her Majesty' Government, aware
that there Wes an
impression in this House, on the
night the Bill was introduced, not favourab:e to the
measure, no sooner perceived that that impression
was strongly shown in this House against the projet
de loi which was Proposed, than in all frankness and
friendliness they gave us an assurance that that law
should not be persevered in.—(Hear.) So much for
France.--(Hear) But,
my Lords, I cannot sit down
without expressing my fodder* as to what the Noble
Marquis has said in reference to the two nights' debate
with respect to the convention, and the Act of Parlia-
ment which was to give it life. And Ido not hesitate
to say, that her Majesty's Government, knowing the
facts—knowing that they are in a minority in the House
of Commons—we trusted and believed, my Lords, that
on a question in which party spirit should not be intro-
duced, we should have met with the full and entire as-
sistance of her Majesty's late Government in carrying
out an Act of Parliament which was prepared by them-
selves and not by n_33...._
(Cheers)—which was drawn up
by their own of under their own instructions, and
which was in no way altered by me either in sense or in
text. I added two clauses certainly, my Lords; but one
of them was for positively defining the offences named
in the Bill to be those analogous to felony in
this country,
and, therefore, was framed in a
spirit not by any means deserving of the reproof
which the Noble Marquis bestowed on me; while the
other was one which gave additional security to political
offenders by preventing a second trial for the same of.
fence, once they were rendered under the terms of the
convention.—This was done, my Lords, after the Act
had been drawn up by her Majesty's former Govern-
ment, and her Majesty's present Government had, there-
fore, every reason to expect and believe, as I have al-
ready stated, that the great party opposite would have
merged all political differences, and assisted us in pass-
ing an Act so necessary for this country—(Hear)—so
necessary, also, for France, and which it was due to
France should be passed, inasmuch as the existing con-
vention, as at present enforced, is unfair to that country.
—(Hear, hear.) Therefore, my Lords, when the Noble
Marquis, who has shown himself so anxious to maintain
friendly relations with France, lectures me on my want
of knowledge of French laws, I do say that he has no
right, I shall not say to turn round, but he should have
given me that information of which he said I was not
possessed, in order to carry out that convention by means
of that Act of Parliament. The Noble Marquis finds
fault with me, if I understand him, that I did not
know the force of the convention, and that I did not
pay sufficient deference to this House in withdrawing
the Bill. My Lords, it was in deference to this House
alone that I withdrew the Bill.—(gear.) The highest
legal opinions in the House were expressed against it.
It would have been presumptuous in me to contradict
those opinions. I saw the impression that had been
made on your Lordships' minds,
and out of deference to
the House I withdrew the measure.—(Hear.) I do not
deserve therefore to be accused of want of respect to
your Lordships; but least of all do I deserve the obloquy
which the Noble Marquis has sought to cast on me,
not for signing a convention which I did not make—a
convention which was drawn up in fact by the Noble
Earl opposite, and the Noble Viscount his predecessor
in office—a convention which I tried to carry out by an
Act of Parliament, described by the Noble Marquis as
trenching on the liberty of the subject, when I only
added clauses that strengthened that liberty.—(Hear,
hear.) It was not just or fair, therefore, of the
Noble Marquis to say that I paid any y disrespect to
this House in withdrawing the Bill, or that I neglected
to secure the liberty of the subject by consenting
to narrow his constitutional rights in this instance
—(Hear.) But at the same time, my Lords, I am bound
to say, that I have not altered my opinion as to the im-
mense importance of some convention on the subject
before the House. The French Government have de-
termined to renounce the present convention as unfair
and useless to them; and if that comes to pass you will
not be able to claim our criminals in France any more
than France will be able to claim her criminals in Eng-
land. The criminals of both countries who can contrive
to escape will consequently find impunity; and England
as well as Franco will once again become a mutual and
a safe asylum for the malefactors of each nation.—(Hear.)
Earl GRANVILLE
admitted that he was a party to
the convention; but he protested against the conclusion
of the Noble Earl that the opposition to the Bill was a
party movement. It was, however, quite clear that the
Government could not go on with the present convention.
The highest legal authorities had objected to the Bill,
and therefore the opposition to it.
Lord CAMPBELL, who could scarcely be hear for
hoarseness, and whose repeated attempts to clear his
voice by preliminary coughing excited great laughter,
was understood to say, that he never had been more as-
tonished in all his Political experience than he was at
the statement of the Noble Earl the Foreign Secretary.
He (Lord Campbell) deprecated all party feeling in his
opposition to the Bill; but, with the most sincere desire
to assist the Governinent in the matter, he had felt
that, as the Bill stood, it was impossible it could be
carried into effect by Act of Parliament.
The Marquis of NORMANBY merely wished to con-
firm what had been stated by his Noble Friend opposite
as to the just grounds
which France had to complain of
the existing state of the law in this country on the sub-
ject. His intimate acquaintance with France during the
last few years enabled him to testify that great service
had been done by the practical operation of the existing
treaty to the interests of this country. Under it great
service had been done, especially to the commercial in-
terests of this country,
in enabling parties to obtain pos-
session of the persons of those who otherwise, from the
neighbouring country being so contiguous, would have
profited by the opportunity thereby afforded them to
set the law of this Country at defiance, and enjoy impu-
nity.
He was convinced if the French Government took
the course which the Noble Lord opposite had hinted
at, the commercial interests of this country
would suffer.
Re was, therefore, anxious that
his Noble Friend opposite would turn his at-
tention to remedy the practical difficulties which ap-
peared to
,impede the execution of this measure
(Hear, hear.) Re could not sit down without confirming
the testimony which his Noble Friend had borne to the
prompt manner in which the French Government bad
always met appeals
Made to them for any assistance re-
quisite in cases contemplated by the treaty.
Lord BROUGHAM regretted that some arrangement
which might be carried into execution had not been
come to between the two countries; as he could not ex-
pect the French Government to give us the full benefit
of the existing treaty whilst we gave them no advantage
in return, in consequence of the different state of our
laws from those of France. the
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE repudiated
to
party purposes which the Noble Earl had attributedf
the
the Noble Lords on that (the Opposition) sideoEarl
House, in not supporting the Bill. If the Noble
really wished him to make a charge against him (the
Earl of Malmesbury) he would make one, and i
' It
was
this that the Noble Earl had thought himself competent
Bill
within six weeks or two months to produce a_been so
model
d
on a subject which the Noble Viscount who had
long at the head of Foreign Affairs (Lord Palmerston)
as at the
and the Noble Earl (Earl Granville) when he w
Foreign-office, had had so long under consideration.
The conversation then dropped.
etition from
Viscount HEREFORD presented
a P
Brecon, complaining of the operation of the 14th and
15th of Victoria, c. le (the Highways Act), and its
time rates
falling excessively expensive, and at the same s
falling most unequally. The Noble Lord expressed
a
hope that the Government would soon introduce a ge-
neral Bill on the subject, which would remove the ob.
jeetions to the present Act, and remedy the evils com-
plained of.
