mere intimate with NESSEL RODE and PAULEN than
comported with the dignity and interests of the Freiicli
people. The Noble Duke, driven to the last extre-
m;ty, was fain to throw aside. the diplomatic mask,
alia,openly avow himself the friend of the AUTOCRAT.
Pfotests, he'assured the Chamber, were of no use, and
Fratee had no other means of evincing hostility !
France had already formally protested against the de-
struction of Polish nationality ; the CZAR had laughed
at that protest ; and were the Chamber to repeat its
protest, the CZAR would repeat his disregard of it.
Why, argued the Noble Duke, expose yourselves
to unnecessary insult and ignombiy ? If you protest
agdint the aggressions of Russia, as you are pleased
to call them, the ENIPEROR will tell you that you had
better mind your own affairs ; and perhaps to proVe.
how contemptible you appear in his eyes, be ulay,
commit still greater enormities. Well, what follows?
You must protest again, and again your protest is
treated with contempt and yourselves with ignominy:
And pray what next ? Nothing. You shall have
then done all that France has the power to do ! Be
submissive therefore. Do not provoke a vengeance
against which you cannot make head. You complain
that the CZAR has violated treaties ; be thankful to
the Government, and to that Providence that watches
over the welfare of France, that he has not committed
'still greater enormities. You arc intemperate in your
Llangttage ; if you hive your country correct this evil ; and
when henceforth you have occasion to speak of the CZAR.
remember that he is the Lord's anointed, and whisper
his name with fear and trembling—as becomes loyal
Frenchmen I Such, in point of fact, was the lan-
guage addressed on . Wednesday by the Duke de
BROGLIE to the Chamber of Deputies. There was,
in truth, no mincing of matters, when the Minister for
Foreign Affairs was forced to speak out, and defend
the policy he had recommended to the SOVEREIGN;
But thanks to the enlightened patriotism of the Cham-
ber, France is saved the infliction of the stain with
which DE BROGLIE assailed her honour. His speech,
than which one more insolent, cowardly, and con-
temptible, was never uttered in the legislative assem-
bly of a free people, was ably answered by M. ODILLON
BARROT, who, on this occasion, spoke the sentiments
of at least thirty millions of the inhabitants of France
and Great Britain. The result was, that the Chamber
by a very large majority adopted the amendment of the
Marquis de la MORNAY, recognizing the independent
nationality of the Kingdom of Poland.
We congratulate the brave expatriated Poles—we
congratulate France and England—we congratulate
the Free States of Western Europe, on the amend-
ment thus carried by the. Chamber of Deputies. Its
effect will penetrate to the wildest regions of Siberia—
its consequences will extend as far as nations and
tribes are subject to the influence of Russian ambition.
The Duke de BROGLIE may affect to sneer at such a
mode of resisting the encroachments of Russia ; but the
DUKE knows well enough, that such a preliminary
Was necessary to the adoption of more decisive Mea-
sures. We cannot, for an instant suppose, that the
Deputies of France will halt in their determination to
resuscitate Poland. By this amendment they will
have proved to the British Parliament, on its first as-
sembling, that they are tenacious of the honour, dig-
nity, and good faith of France ; and they will have
afforded an example to that body which no English
Minister will dare to repudiate. One great question at
least is settled by it. We are no longer in doubt as to
the prevalent opinion in the Chamber of Deputies, and
we know what is to be expected from the diplomatic
labours of DE BROGLIE. If there be such a thing as
p.utio.l_oo7tency in the characters of public men in
France, the Duke DE BROGLIE cannot retain his seat
in the Cabinet after this rev- c..L...t1 v.. tit 1.1.. -
Eq. The vote of the Chamber virtually disqualifies
him from retaining office an hour longer ; for it is not
possible that he would descend to the degradation of
being instrumental in carrying on measures which be
believes, or pretends to believe, dangerous to the wel-
fare of France.

Should the Duke DE BROGLIE retire, we know of
no Member of the present Cabinet better qualified to
take charge of his Ministerial Poriffeuille than M.
THIERS, now Minister of the Interior. M. Tit ERs
is not much of a diplomatist : but he is better—he is
a man of enlarged views, tolerably straight-forward,
and well acquainted with the Russian aystem of
political aggrandizement. Now such a man would
be worth twenty of the ablest diplomatic quib-*
blers in Europe in the present juncture of affairs..
There is no need of protocols, and notes, and ex-
traordinary missions. All that a Foreign Minister
of France or England has to do, is to speak the opi-
nions of the country to which he belongs, and to speak
such opinions openly, decidedly, and without admitting
quibbling explanations, and temporizing suggestions.
There is nothing more worthy of free States in their
intercourse with other nations than an adherence to strict
truth, and a constant endeavour to simplify the, language
of negociation. Now :NI. THIERS, with all his faults, of
which vanity is not the least conspicuous, is withal a
man capable of repressing the ambition of Russia.
The Count de NESSELRODE might enclose him in a
Gordian knot of diplomacy ; but THIERS, if in such a
predicament, would not hesitate an instant to call upon
France to release him by a free use of the sword. This
would render subterfuge of no avail ; and would oppose
to the Russian thirst for conquest the dread of a certain
retributary vengeance.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, who, if not the
sagest, is at' any rate the drollest, of existing Aristo-
crats, has again come forth, after a silence of unusual
length, to challenge public attention by one of those
whimsical out-breaks of oratory,- for which he has so
long been notorious. He has, in fact, discovered an-
other mare's nest ; having actually found out—of
course, with the assistance of the Tory Times—that
the reason, why Sir HOBERT PEEL changed the air
• of the Treasury, for that of the Opposition Benches,
last Session, was, not bccau3e lke was out-voted by
the Reformers, but because he was jilted by the Con-
servatives, who, though they promised to take him for
better for worse, yet, like arrant coquettes as they
were, reserved their affections for a more aristocratic
sweet-heart. On this, the Noble Marquis, at the Dur-
ham • Conservative Association dinner, at which he
held the post of Chairman, observes, in a strain of
uncommon sensibility : " Good GOD, is the time not
arrived, when it is necessary for the Conservative 'Vern-
hers of the House of Commons to do their duty un-
flinchingly by their constituents ? Often, when Sir Ro-
BERT PEEL went down to the House of Commons, many
of those who ought to be his supporters, were enjoying
the pleasures of social society, I declare that the leaders
of the good cause were often left in the lurch ; and if
the General has no troops, in God's name, how is he
to wage a successful war with the enemy ? I do not
now recal these circumstances with a view to recrimi-
nation, but for the purpose of guarding against the evil
in future ; and in the hope that, in time to come, the,
Conservative Members will stand boldly by their'
colors." We hope so too, for, as we observed a few
days ago, our victory will not be complete, unless it be
over the entire numerical force of the Conservatiies,
To beat a small detachment of them is nothinm=-:we
must subdue the whole legion. No Tory can possibly
be more solicitous for the Parliamentary attendance of
other Tories throughout the approaching Session, tban
we are. We wish them to muster in their fullest force)

so that th;.! country tiiay be enabled fairly to estimate
rather their non-resources: Not &111-
tent with following in the wake.of the Timi's, in his de-

nunciation of Conservative negligence, the bright Mar-
quis went on to Say:that " in the coming Session, he
will call upon Lord.MEo3ourtNE to says, aye or no,
whether the connexion with O'CONNELL does, or does
not, exist." We can imagine theneniOus anxiety—
the shrinking affright, with which the Noble head of
his Majesty's Administration will read this awful de-
claration. How will he shudder when it comes to be
put into practice, and he sees his gifted opponent rising
for that purpose in the House of Lords ! We should
not omit to mention that the Noble and Gallant Marquis,

in giving out the different loyal and constitutional
toast,:, in his capacity of Chairman at the Dinner to
which we have alluded, actually gave the "British

Navy," before the " Princess VICTORIA"--a blunder
for which he apologized on the score of the "en-
thusiasm of his loyalty !" Surtiv, it was rather early
in the evening to make such a blunder, and such
an apology !

The new 'from Spain is cheering tb the cause of
Constitutional freedom,. The troops,of Pon CA4LoS
in Navarre are' deserting in numbers;: chiefly in conse-
quence of fifty-six-days pay being due to them; and;
;though exploring partics of c.qo,,A4s make their appear,
ance almost daily, in the villagesiin the neighbonrbood
of Vittoria, yet they never IfAitto make a precipitate
retreat, at the very first sight of ite" English troops.
From Arragon and Catalonla..,;4le4mostrecent aclviCes
are favourable to the 4tTEgX§,_cause. intelligence
from Barcelona brings dreadfUl accounts of some po-
pular disturbances which took place in that city on the
3d and 4th instant, provoked by some inhuman mas-
sacres of the Carlists.

We observe in City article of the Times of yester-
day, which will be found in another part of our paper,
allusion again made to the Danish Claims. We wish
not to-be misunderstood in recurring so often to this
subject ; for although our object is to advocate the
cause of the poor suffererS, yet our remarks are equally
prompted by our anxiety for the reputation of Minis-
ters, which would be compromised if any attempt were
made to avoid claims so just, and so universally ac-
knowledged by public opinion. We are confident that
if our gracious and kind-hearted MONARCH were fully
aware of all the circumstances, he would recommend
to Parliament an immediate_ grant. of these just claims,
by which Many an unfortunate sufferer would be re-
lieved, instead of being tantalized from year to year,
in the hope of an uncertain surplus, for which the
CHANCELLOR has always other calls.

In the event of Colonel Evans vacating his seat for
Westminster, in consequence of his Military duties in
Spain, Admiral Napier intends offering himself as an
opponent to Captain Sir Thomas Cochrane. The
Gallant Admiral is cousin to Colonel Napier, rho re-
cently made a strong and spirited speech at Bath,
and at the last two elections at Portsmouth presented
himself as a candidate on Radical Reform principles.
The electors of Westminster will of course strictly in-
vestigate the gallant conaueror q, Miguel's fleet, as to
the staunchness of his Radicafpretensions.

KINGIA'ii_ENc:O.—(THIS DAY.)

The Court took the Crown paper this morning. The cases
argued were appeals from
.the orders of Justices at Sessions,
relative to the settlement and removal of paupers, and con-
tained no points of public interest.

EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

Mr. Baron 13otaLA.ND was so far recovered from his late ill-
ness as to be enabled to attend and take his seat in. Court to-
day along with.the other Barons.
The Court was engaged up till one o'clock in hearing Mr.
Sergeant TAl.Forip and Mr. CRESWELL against a rule for a
new trial in the case of " Chattock v. Shave." The latter
Learned Gentleman was stopped at that hour, as their lord-
ships had to meet tire other .Judges in the Exchequer Cham-
ber, to decide upon:the Crown cases reserved for their opinion
from the Sessons.f., ;We refrain from giving the case until it
has baen.concluded, as it involves much of the private life of a
late respected Officer.
