THE CASE OF MR. ANSTEY.

Col. DUNNE called at ention to the case of Mr. Anstey,
late attorney-general at Hongkong, and asked what repara-
tion had been made to him for the injustice acknowledged
to have been done to him by the authorities in that colony.
He explained the circumstances connected with the dismis-
sal of Mr. Anstey, and the extraordinary accusations made
by him, which the Duke of Newcastle, he said, had declared
to have been substantially proved.
Mr. C. F ORTESCUE, observing that the dismissal of
Mr. Anstey was the act of the late Administration, said the
reasons for that act extended for bey aid the transactions re-
ferred to by
Col. Dunne, who had put the case upon too nar-
row an issue. Mr. Anstey had shown a violence of temper
and a want of discretion and juugment which unfitted him
for being the confidential legal adviser of the Governor, and
the Duke of Newcastle had declined to reopen the question
and to reverse the decision of his predecessor. Mr. Anstey,
he said, had no claim whatever to compensation or repara•
tion from the Government.
THE SPANISH PROTESTANTS.

Mr. G. DUFF moved for papers relating to the case of
he Spaniards lately sentenced to banishment on account of
heir religious opinions. The subject was brought before
the house in the years 1861 and 1862, and it now appeared
that a slight change had taken place in their condition, the
severe sentence having been commuted to one of banish-
ment. He said they were not convicted and sentenced as
Protest ant converts, but as Protestant propagandists, which
he consiaered was more surprising, because he could not
underetand how Spain could fear such a movement.
Sir G. BOWYER concurred in many of the sentiments
expressed by the hon. gentleman, but could not agree with
him that the reading of the Bible could be any injury to
Catholicity. He believed, on the contrary, that the more
people read the Bible the more they would see the truth of
the Catholic religion. It was a great mistake to suppose
that the Catholic Church objected to the reading of the Bible.
The only question was, what was the rule of faith to be ap-
plied to the Bible. But, without dwelling further on that
point, he would proceed to state the facts of this case If
he believed that Matamoras and his friends represented some
party in Spain who were teaching in an unobtrusive man-
ner, and without violating the laws of their country, what
they believed to be true, he should say there was something
in the arguments which had so frequently been addressed
to the hf use ; but the real truth was far otherwise. Mate-
-184 mores inengaged in some political conspiracy,
was obliged to fl
his country. Afterwards an amnesty
was published, and he was enabled to return. He than be-
came a soldier, and subsequently was appointed a lay agent
5 having
from
of an English committee at Gibraltar, consisting of Presby-
terians, Methodists, and one not very distinguished member
of the Church of England, whose object was the
propagation of what they considered to be true reli-
gion in Spain. He received 45 dols. a month for his ser-
vices, but so little sincere was he that he declared to
one of his associates that ho did not believe in any
religion at all, and had engaged in the undertaking simply
as a speculation The English committee did not snake
much progress, because they did not represent one Spanish
idea. Spain repudiated Protestantism. A Spaniard might
be made almost anything; he could be made an infidel,
but it was quite impossible to convert him into a Protestant.
Matamoras became the agent of this Propagandist Society
in Spain, and he and others were also supposed to be agents
for the propagation of revolutionary and socialistic opinions.
If these persons had been sincere religionists, the Go
vernment might have acted Ifferently, but, knowing that
they were only the paid agents of an English society, and
that they did not represent any Spanish idea, the Govern-
ment put the laws of Spain in force, which declared the
Catholic faith to be the religion of the Slate, and die not
permit any person to propagate a different religion among
the people. The Spaniards were perfectly satisfied with
those laws. He believed that the Spaniards repudiated any
attempt on the part of any foreign society to introduce re-
ligious discord into the country- He was informed that
one of the associates of Matamoras had since returned to
the Catholic Church, had expiated his apostacy by penance,
and was now a faithful son of the Church. He denied that
this was a proper matter for discussion in the House of
Commons. (Hear.) There was but one religion in Spain.
A Spanish Protestant was a contradiction in terms, and
Protestant propagandism in Spain was sure to fail. Such
a society might stir up religious strife, but it would never
'rote tantize Spain. He trusted that her Majesty's Go-
vernment would not do so unwise a thing as to interfere
in this matter (Hear.) They had much better leave the
Spaniards to manage their own affairs. (Hear.) Having
brought these remarks to a close, he had new to ask the
indulgence of the house in a matter affecting the public
and private character of persons who had no opportu-
nity of appearing and defending themselves ie that
house. The noble lord at the head of the Government
was aware that some time ago a statement was made
by him to which his attention had been since directed bythe
notice that appeared in his (Sir G. Bowyer's) name. His
statement was that in a public church at Rome a celebrated
Frenchman, named Father Curci, addressed reproaches of
the stronest nature to the King of Naples, Francis II , in
the presence of the congregation there assembled, and of a
large body of nobility forming the Neapolitan emigration in
Rome. The preacher was represented as having accused
that unfortunate and illu-arious Prince of a very great
offence—viz., of having sent bands of robbers and murderers
—persons of the most atrocious character—to commit the
most atrocious crimes in his dominions, which were usurped
by his neighbour and relation, the King of Sardinia. It was
sought to be deduced from this statement that the king had
been guilty of these offences. This statement on the part of
the noble lord attracted attention, and created great pain and
dismay, not only on the part of the Sovereign, but of the
nobility and others attached to his cause. He bad received
a letter from Father Curci, in which he denied the use of
the words-attributed to him, and stated that he never in the
course of his sermon made the slightest allusinn to any po-
litical matter whatever. He had also received a letter signed
by persons of the highest rank in the south of Italy—viz.,
the Prince of Bisegnorno, the Duke of Regina, Cavaliere
Naladi di Altavella, Joseph Ricciardi Count of Comaldoli,
Baron Camillo Nolli, the Duke John Riario Sforza, the
Prince of Chearamonte, the. Prince of Aguaviva, the Duke
of Maddaloni, Count Enruco Statella, Count Anthony Bien-
culli, the Duke of Terra Conviano, and the Duke of St. Va-
lentino. These gentlemen thanked him for the course which
he had felt it his duty to take, protested against the cruel-
ties practised towards their countrymen by the Piedmon-
tese, and emphatically denied the statement which was in-
tended to criminate the King. They asserted that no such
charge had been brought against him. He had also a solemn
legal instrument ext toted before a notary public, who, as
hon. gentlemen were aware, was in Rome a public magis-
trate of great weight, and which ran as follow
" Before me, Domenico Monti, notary public, &c., ap-
peared the witnesses hereinafter named,—that is to say, his
Most Rev. Excellency Monsignor Accorde, Bishop of
Anglona and Tursi, his Most liev. Excellency Don Michael
Alicia, Bishop of Patti, &c. (here follows the names of 22
persons of the highest distinction—prelates, princes, dukes,
and other noblemen), who spontaneously make and have
made the following deposition, declaring that having heard
on the 3d of the present month the sermon of the Rev,
Father Curci, in the venerable church of the Spirito San.

todei NanoMani, the did Father Curd said not a word nor
did he make any allusion, direct o indirect, even in the most
remote manner, to or regarding the King of the reaction, or
the ireproper/y called brigandage. We also declare that the
' said Rev. Father berei Trenched about the vice of idleness,
and not about the so-called brigandarete; and we further de-
clare that the said Father Curci never preached any other
sermon before His Sacred Majesty the King our Lord, nor
before the ISTeaellefin emigration residing at Rome. This
we declare to be the simple triithi which we are ready to
affirm on oath before any corcpetent tribunal,"
It appeared, therefore, that the statement which had been
quoted against the King was utterly groundless, and he had
no doubt that the noble lord would have the generosity to
state at once that he had been entirely misinformed, and
would express his regret that he had made a statement so
derogatory to the character of an illustrious prince, and one
who was in misfortutte. (Hear, hear.) He would, there-
fore. say no more, but would leave the matter in the hands
ot the noble lot .
Mr. MONSELL, who rose with Lord Palmerston, and to
whom the noble lord gave way, reverting to the ques ion of
the Protestants in Spain, said that his opinions were well
expressed by Father Lacordaire, who said :
" The public conscience will always repel the man who
asks for exclusive liberty, or forgets the rights of others, for
exclusive liberty is but privilege, and liberty forgetful of
the rights of otters is nothing but treason. And there is
in the heart of the honest man who speaks for all, and who
in speaking for all sometimes seems to be speaking against
himself,—there is in that man a power, a logical and moral
superirity which almost invariably begets reciprocity. So
Catholics know this well, if you want litierty tor yourselves
ask it for all men under Heaven. (Hear.) if you ask it
for yourselves only it will never be granted. Give it when
you are masters, in order that it may be given to you when
you are slaves."
(Hear, hear.) This was a question of extreme delicacy, be-
cause we were dealing, not with the Spanish Government,
out with the involved prejudiced of the Spanish people—
prejudices which we could easily understand when we re-
membered teat Catholic emancipation, though advocated
by the most eminent men of the day, was long prevented by
the public voice, and saw that from all Engtana or Scot-
land but one Roman Catholic, the noble lord the member
for Arundel, was sent to that house. He could only desire
that those persons in Spain who wished to continue these
laws would come over to Ireland and see the working of a
totally opposite principle. He desired that they should see
the strength and life visibte iti the Catholic Church in Ire-
land in spite of the difficulties she had to contend with, be-
cause although she ha., no privileges she had complete
liberty. The best means for the spread of the Catholic
Church was for that Church to trust as Hale as possible to
privileges and to maintain everywhere the cause of religious
liberty, (Hear.) He hoped that Spain would cease to be
the one exception to all the other countries of Europe, arid
he believes of the world, in having laws which were di-
rectly opposed to the first principles of religious liberty.
(Hear, hear.)
Lord PALMERSTON, after expressing the satisfaction
which the house must have felt at the enlightened end libe-
ral opinions which had fallen from his right hon. friend
(Mr. Monsell), continued to say that they should make
great allowances for the Spanish people, because of their
gcograpbical position, which cut them off more than any
other country from intercourse with the rest of Europe,
but he could not help hoping and believing, he said, that
the progress of civilisation and enlightenment were
making its way into Spain, and that me Catholics ot
Spain had the sensible and enlightened views which has
right hon. friend hal expressed. At the same time, their
laws remained— (hear, hear)—and, though the SpanishGo •
vernment were, he was persuaded, most anxious upon all
occasions that those laws should be leniently administered,
yet in Spain, like all other countries, public, opinion had its
force, and the Government could not go exactly Cont' ary to
that opinion. In the present case, however, the Queen ot
Spain, in consequence of the representations made to her,
had exercised her prerogative of pardon, and had remitted
the sentences ot the persons in question, on condition that
they removed to some other country, which he had no doubt
they were very glad to do. (He ir, hear and laughter.) But
the Spanish laws did not simply apply to the profession of
opinions different from toe religion of the State, but they
were at variance with th- treaties of the :vanish Crown.
By those treaties British subjects were entitled to the free
exercise of their religion in private houses, but the law said
that they should not do it, and there were instances lately
in which the law had been enforced by parties of more zeal
than discretion, and the practice of worship in private houses
interfered with, in spite of the representations of the British
Government. Her Majesty's Government contended, and
he thought rightly, that treaties could not be overset and
controlled by the laws of the country which made them—
(hear, hear)—and that the Crown was bound by them
(Hear, hear.) The question was still pending, and he could
assure his hon. friend (Mr. Grant Duff) that the Govern-
ment of this country would continue to suggest to' the Go-
vernment of Spain a lenient and liberal policy in those cases.
r,Hear, hear.) With regard to Father Curci, he had told
the hon. baronet at the time that he had read the statement
which he had made in the newspaper, but that he could not
answer for its accuracy. S ince then, however, he had re-
ceived a let ter from Italy giving an account of the transaction.
He was not at liberty to give the name of the writer, and he
should give it for what it was worth. (The noble lord here
read the letter, and continued)—He was free to confess that
the letter did not state exactly that Father Curci had re-
proached the King with sending brigands into the Neapoli-
tan territory; but as to the feet, no one could doubt who
had any knowledge on the subject. (Hear, hear.) They
knew very well that there was a rendezvous at Rome,
where persons were enlisted—
Sir G. BOWYER—Not brigands.
Lord PALMERSTON—Persons might differ as to names
—(hear, hear, and laughter)—but those persons went into
the Neapolitan territory and performed their operations on
their fellow-subjects, who were very little pleased with their
presence. (Hear, hear.) He believed that the French gar-
rison at Rome were now taking steps to put-a stop to those
proceedings—(hear)—and he trusted that in a short time
the Neapolitan territory would be restored to the order and
tranquillity which everybody desired to see. (Hear, hear.)
Sir G. BOWYER—Can the noble lord tell us who is the
writer of the letter which he read ?
Lord PALMERSTON—The hon. and learned gentle-
man may take it for what it is worth. I stated that it was
a genuine letter ?
Sir G. B WYER—Yes, we may take it for what an
anonymous letter is worth. (Hear, hear, and laughter.)
THE PANAMA MAIL ROUTE.
Sir S. NORTHCOTE called attention to the proposal
which had been made for the establishment of a route to
Australia by way of Panama, and asked the Government to
state their intentiens on the subject, urging that if a second
fcrtnightly communication was established it was for the
advantage of Sydney and New Zealand that it should be via
Panama.

Mr. F. PEEL said the question of establishing a second
monthly communication with Australia had received the
consideration of the Government more than once during
the last two years, and they had recently had communica-
tions with gentlemen representing the interests of both
New South Wales and New Zealand ; and, although it was
most gratifying to observe the certainty and the regularity
with which the present service was performed by the
Peninsular and Oriental Company, it was not surprising
that the receipts from the postage of letters by no means
covered the expense of maintaining the communication.
Within the last few days they had received an offer from the
Peninsular and Oriental Company to double the communi-
cation between Ceylon and Australia for an additional sum
of £50,000 ; at present they were paid £134,000, and for con-
siderably less than half that amount they are willing to
duplicate the service. He thought that was a very reason-
able offer, and that the Government were fully justified in
communicating with Australia to ascertain the views of the
colonial authorities, before deciding in the matter.
Mr. CHILDERS deprecated the proposal to double the
rate of postage between this country and Australia.
SUPPLY.
The House then went into committee of supply, at 20
minutes to 12 o'clock, and took the last vote.
On the vote of £700,000, balance of the sum required for
he packet s-rvica,
Sir S. NOttTHCOTE asked for an explanation of the
state of the contracts for the conveyance of the mails from
Dover to Calais, and Dover to Ostend. He also asked to be
informed if anything had been paid under the old contract
to Mr. t hurchward.
Mr. PEEL said that Mr. Harrington had made a tender
for the Dover and Calais service for £5,000, and it had been
accepted conditionally on the house not voting any !limey for
Mr. Churchward. The contract was to take effect in
January next, but Mr. Harringtcn was willing to take it
for the remainder of the year, but the Government thought
his charge too much, and an application was made to the
railway companies, who agreed to perform tht service from
June from Dover to Calais for a subsidy of £6,000 a year,
and he understood that they were using four of Mr. Church-
ward's boats. He hoped the contracts would be signed be •
fore the end of. the session, and the house would empower
the Government to accept the contract. The service be-
tween Dover and Ostend it was proposed should be carried
out by a postal convention with the Belgian Government,
determinable at a year's notice.
Mr, LAIRD moved the reduction of the vote by £3,110
for the conveyance of mails between Diver and Ostend,
from June, 1863, to March, 1864. He did so because he
objected to subsidising foreign Governments.
Mr. F. PEEL defended the convention with Belgium
and stated that the Belgian Government were prepared to
enter into undertakings for the performance of the contract.
The committee divided. The numbers were:—
For the reduction
Against it
Majority
The vote was then agreed to ; and it being the last vote
in supply, it was ordered to be reported amidst the cheers
of the committee.
The house resumed, and immediately after went into com-
mittee of ways and means, and agreed to certain resolutions.
