Mr. WM. APAU contended, that no man,had ever,
been exposed to a case more sere and cruel than
that in which the .Hon. Gentle Man had so hastily
involved his, Royal Highness the Duke Of York,
'Where was the urgent haste which imp•elled the
lion Gentleman to give notice 'of a motion, con--
taining such grave matter of accusation, against so
exalted a Personage, before he knew whether t he evi-

Only were in the country, but even whether they ,
were in existence or not? Gould any thing be more
cruel than that calumnies should remain upon the
chara&ers of those who perhaps had fallen in their
country's cause, and upon him who had prompted
them, without perhaps any.
.opportunity ever occurs
ing,' when the reasons of such promotions might be
'honourably explained and justified? Was there no
charge respelling which the Honourable Gentleman
might be prepared to proCeed in on Friday ? The
Commander in Chief was as liable anJ as reroly es'
any man to have his- condua inquired into; but was
'it to be endured that the second Personage in the
kingdom Should thus be tendetnned to have such
grave. charges hang Oyer his comma and charaCter,
without the possibility of bringing them to a speedy
examination ? Let the HonourableGentleman now
state distinelly iu what charge he' -is prepared.
to proceed on Friday next. If the •Oilicers he has
named be not yet arrived, it is well known that
many of the other witnesses he had named in open-
ing his motion .were now in London, why not
therefore proceed without, delay_to have their evi-
dence before the Hotise. Major-General French
might possibly have gone to the West Indies; Capt.
Huxley Sanden might be no more. Where then
could there be left any thing to balance the charges
brought against
,his .Royal Highness.? in candour,
in justice, in every principle of fair dealing, such
delays should not be tolerated indeed, the Hon. '
Gentleman must be, ignorant of Parliamentary pro-
ceedings, not to hate known that he should not
'mire stirred hisquestion vVithout being fully prepar7
ed to bring it to an issue. Why then did he not
Consult some Gentleman who was more conversant
with such matters, and not thus at with such
justice towards the Commander in Chief, even to
the interruption and detriment of the public busi-
ness

Gllollel WA.4.-TiLE said, that he was not aware of
,the delay, and:
.that" he never intended any. '1.1e,.-
should'do all in his power to accelerate the business,
and would be ready to bring forward the. case of
Ca Maling on Ericly.
The Chairman then reported progresS, and the
House being resutned, it was ordered that the Hon.
Gentleman do further proceed in his charges oti Fri- 1
day next.
On the 'motion of Mr. Wu:4ll'ov, it was ordered
timi the minutes of evidence taken that night be
printecland laid before the Houle.
The second reacting of the Militia Volimteering
Bill was fixed for. this day after which the House
adjourned pit half-past two.

LONDON,

THURSDAY, FIiBBLIARY 2a 1869.

We stopped tbe Press yesterday to announce the
arrival of a Flag of Truce from Cherburgh, with an
account of the arrival of BUONAPARTR at Paris, It
has bead reported that two Mossengers had cope
over to this Vessel, with fresh propositions from
BUONAPARTK of a pacific tendency.

We have reason to believe that a considerable
French force has at lenth entered Portugal, anti that
the evacuation of Lisbon by our Troops will shortly
take plai.v. A \rem) has arrived from the Ta-
gus„ Which site left 0..) the 7th, At that time the
preparation for. the embaikation of our 'Pimp was
in a‘forward state, and the gtlns t,t For' St. Julien
and Belem had been spikecl.and thrown in the sea.

The Frouie of Commods proceeded yesterday to
tha examination of Wit nesses, rel )tive to the Charges
brought forward by Mr. WAnnt.r.. We have given
the examination at lone), but pending the In.
vestigation, we think it would be improper'to make
any comments upon the subj,.4t.

A report was yesterday circulated that a disturbance
of a verj, serious nature had Niken place in Sweden :
this report was founded upon a letter from Liverpool,
but we do not think it entitled to any credit.

In addition to the, Gazette account respecting
Lord CocuaANe, we have received the following
natficulltrs of the proceedings of the imperielqe
frigate, in a letter; dated Gibraltar,' Sept. ;26 :7—
Lieutenant Al A PLBTO t.t, first Lieutenant of 'the.

and Marines of that ship, have, on

of Montpellier, six I ek'g rAphS, and upwards of
twenty barracks of the hapi.rial. They
