LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28, 1833.

The speech of Lord DURHAM—which will
be found in another part of The Sun—at a
public dinner given to him onWednesday last at
Gateshead, was such as became an English
statesman to make and an English assembly to
listen to. A more frank, independent, and
high-spirited one, we never read. It is worthy
of the best days of British history. His Lord-
ship, with modest pride, avowed that he was
the main individual engaged in drawing up the
Reform Bill, for that Earl GREY intrusted it
almost exclusively to his superintendence, know-
ing well, what every man in the country knows
also, that it could not be intrusted to more
vigorous or efficient hands. Yet, though na- 1
turally attached to his own offspring, Lord i
DURHAM is no weak, over-indulgent parent.
He confesses, with manly candour, that it is
not without numerous defects; but then, as he
truly says, the people have the remedy in their
own hands. If they desire to perfect the Reform
Bill, they can do so; the INlinistry is not deaf,
like the Tories ; but ready and willing to turn
an attentive ear to every reasonable suggestion
of the people. How different the frank, straight-
forward boldness of this truly English senator,
from the system of humbug and duplicity pur-
sued from time immemorial by the Tories !
His Lordship speaks out, sternly and deci-
sively. We never knew a Tory, under simi-
lar circumstances, who did not act upon
TA LLEYRAND'S notion, that " speech was
given to man in order to conceal his
thoughts." One of the, most marked character-
istics of Lord DURHAM'S speech, is the utter
absence of that cold, aristocratic hauteur, of
which he has been so often (and we think un-
justly) accused. There is nothing of party
exclusiveness, nothing of caste about it. It is
the broad, enlightened address, not of a Whig
aristocrat, but of an independent English .gen-
tleman, to his fellow-men. In a word, it is the
Appeal of intelligence to intelligence :-
0 I know of nothing," says his Lordship, " that the
intellig,"nce of the country--and when I speak of the
people, 1 speak not of anything but the intelligence and
education, not the property, but the intelligence and edu-
cation of the country—l say I know of nothing which
the intelligence of the country bas set its heart upon, and
which it ought to possess, that it will not eventually
obtain.—(Cheers.) I therefore say it is the duty of
wise Statesman to examine the objects the people have in
view, and what they are determined to obtain ; and when
he is satisfied of their justice, he should not wait to be
forced into the adoption of such measures ; he should not
do it upon expediency or compulsion, but grant it freely
and cordially; for believe me, that the boon granted upon
compulsion, however the object may be obtained, loses half
its grace, and very often all its value.—(Loud cheers.)"
Already quite sufficiently vexed with his Lord-
ship, for the amazing inconvenience he has put
them to, the Tories must be quite frantic when
Oley read this declaration. It is the death-tick
in ear—the knell of all their hopes.
Again, ils:lrd DURHAM strenuously insists on
the adoption of a system of national education.
'Why, this is woe and worse ! It is not
merely the knell, but the absolute extinguisher
of the faction. Were the people still to con-
tinue ignorant, there might be some chance for
them—for like blind moles they work best in the
dark—but when once education becomes gene-
ral, as it will be, and that speedily, it is clear
they will have nothing left for it but to cry out
with CHESTER, "Good Night to Marmion," or
with Wolsey, " Farewell, a long farewell to all
my greatness !"
Lord DURHAM'S speech is, in every respect,
a marked sign of the times. Considering his
connection with the head of the Cabinet, it may,
we think not unreasonably, be looked on as
official ; and viewing it in this light, we boldly
say, it is an honour to the Whig. Administration.
His Lordship throws himself, not on the mere
‘, property," but on the " intelligence" of the
cokt9tly, for support. He implores his coun-
trylnen to keep their attention constantly fixed
on the Government ; not to cajole, not to flatter

-
dun °

it ; but to set it right where it goes wrong ; to
walk side by side with it ; to temper its move-
ments when it hurries too much in advance ; to
quicken them when it proceeds too sluggishly.
Mr. CUTHBERT RIPPON took an equally in-
dependent tone with Lord DURHAM. This
gentleman is one of the sturdiest and most
consistent of our reformers. He belongs not
to the headlong, but to the temperate, move-
ment party. He is an advocate for the repeal
of the Septennial Act ; for the expulsion of
the Bishops from the House of Lords ; for
every measure, in short, which has utility for
its object. The spirit in which he spoke of the
proceedings of the late session, does credit to
his manliness and sagacity. He agreed that it
did much, but regretted that it did not do more•
On this point there cannot be two opinions ;
but then, as Lord DURHAM observed in reply,
every candid—every generous mind will make
some little allowance for the difficulties with
which Ministers were thickly surrounded.
Granted; but such allowance will only be made
on the promise that the past conduct of Govern-
ment shall be no voucher for the future.
Henceforth they must act, not hesitate. They
are floating on the surface of a stormy ocean ;
and it is not enough that they rest on their oars
and wait for fairer weather ; they must be, every
man at his post, and make all sail for port. Up
to the present moment they have kept in credit
on the score of the Reform Bill. That will
avail them no longer.
But we see quite enough in Lord DURHAM'S
speech to justify us in predicting that Ministers
will not be found wanting on the day of trial.
Every suggestion that the intelligence of the
country puts forth, his Lordship says, will be
attended to. Well then : this same intelligence
demands the repeal of the Septennial Act—it
demands the ejectment of the Bishops from the
House of Lords—it demands a revision of the
Corn Laws. Shall these demands be granted?
Aye or No, my Lord ? The reply we hope and
believe will be, " The Ayes have it."

The Paris Papers of Saturday, which arrived
this morning, mention the arrival, at Bayonne, of
M. MIGNET, on his way to Paris from Madrid.
A telegraphic despatch from Bayonne states,
upon the authority of M. MIGNET, that the
road from Vittoria to Bayonne has been cleared
of the rebels, in consequence of a defeat near
Tolosa, where they had been attacked by CAS-
TAGNOS, at the head of a small force. The
rebels had been driven as far as Mondragon.
Another telegraphic despatch from Perpignan
announces that tranquillity remained uninter-
rupted in Barcelona and Gerona up to the 24th.
Nothing appears to have been known of Don
CARLOS at the date of the last accounts
received by the French Government, and we
understand that our own Ministry are up to
this hour equally ignorant of his move-
ments. Whether in the field or not, however,
his cause is very desperate. He is probably,
like a true Bourbon, waiting to see what legi-
timacy will do for him, before he hazards his
own person ; but, even in Spain, the Legiti-
matists will not continue to risk their necks
for a prince who aspires to a crown, without
having courage enough to face the obstacles
which stand in the way of his acquiring it.

A copy of the Speech of the Dutch Minister
for Foreign Affairs to the States General on
Thursday last has arrived in town. In this
document, which differs but little, as far as the
Belgian Question is concerned, from the Speech
of the King, the Minister, after giving a history
of the negotiations since the period of his last
communication to the States General, and stat-
ing that the plenipotentiaries of the Dutch King
had to encounter resistance at every step of the
negotiation, thus wishing to have it inferred
that they had been very desirous of bringing
matters to a close, says—

" I have now reasons to announce to your High Mighti-
nesses that within a few days a prospect has opened, not
only of the settlement of the points in question (the
garrison of Maestricht and the navigation of the Meuse),
but also of the successful result of the endeavours to come
to a general arrangement.
" A mission from their Majesties the Emperors of
Austria and Russia, and the King of Prussia, to the King,
bears decidedly the stamp of their sincere friendship and
real interest, that his Majesty has not hesitated immediately
to reply to it with unlimited confidence on his part; and
if the happy presages do not fail this time, we may expect
to see at length a satisfactory conclusion of the efforts and
deliberations with which the Government has conducted
this difficult negotiation.
" Were I permitted to follow my inclination, I might,
perhaps, conclude my address with some observations cal-
culated to throw a light on the political embarrassments
of our part of the world, and their influence on the foreign
relations of our country. But there are circumstances
which are rendered worse by being made the subject of
remark. Who, then, will be so presumptuous as to attempt
to draw aside a veil which will not bear to be touched, and
which it may be salutary to respect ; and bow can I forget
that this is not one of those epochs of rare good fortune
extolled by the most profound of the Roman historians,
when people are at liberty to feel what they will, and to
say what they feel?"
As, in order to understand the present state of
the question, it is necessary to know what the
mission is which the Emperors of AUSTRIA
and RUSSIA and the King of PRUSSIA have
sent to the King of HOLLAND, we are happy
in being enabled, from an authentic source, to
communicate the facts to our readers with an
assurance that they may rely implicitly on every
part of our statement.
The Mission of Prince SCHWARTZENBERG to
the King of HOLLAND was as follows. He
was charged, in written instructions, copies of
which were immediately given to Lord PAL-
MERSTON and Prince TALLEYRAND, to repre-
sent to the King of HOLLAND, not by note,
but verbally, the desire of the three Powers
to have the 1,/t.igian question brought to a speedy
conclusion—to state to the KING that he,
as well as the three Sovereigns, was aware that
the peculiar state of Enrone, and other circum-
stances of moment, rendered the s.ettrlement of
the Belgian question necessary, and that if
he relied on any support from the three
Powers, he would find himself
,disappointed,

as they had resolved not to countenance any of
those pretensions by which the negotiations
had been procrastinated. The Prince was fur-
ther instructed to add, that even on those points
respecting which the three Powers had expressed
a wish that matters might be arranged between
the Dutch and Belgian Governments by mutual
concessions, they withdrew all countenance
from the King of HOLLAND, leaving it to Bel-
gium and Holland to conclude them as they could,
without being influenced by other Powers. In
these instructions the three Powers make
no promise that they will not suffer any armed
intervention, by France and England, against
Holland ; nor do they give the remotest reason
for believing that they would oppose such inter-
vention.

Such was the mission of Prince SCHWART-
ZENBERG to the KING of HOLLAND, and as
that Sovereign is now made to declare, through
his Minister, that the mission in question has
opened a prospect of the successful result of the
endeavours to come to a general arrangement,
we are justified in supposing that the five
Powers will tie him to his declaration, and
that his professions will be put to the test as
speedily as possible. The important fact that
the three Powers have pledged themselves to
Great Britain and France not to give either
direct or indirect countenance to any of the
pretensions of the King of HOLLAND is fully
established. If the Dutch King, after this,
should attempt, either by open resistance or
secret intrigue, to delay the settlement of the
question, Great Britain and France will be
bound to adopt coercive measures, of the result
of which little doubt can be entertained, as
Austria, Russia, and Prussia cannot in honour,
and would not in prudence, interfere on be-
half of the King of HOLLAND.
We are not, however, quite satisfied as to the
sincerity of the professions of the King of HOL-
LAND. He has been too long a waiter on Provi-
dence for us to believe that he will yield other-
wise than from necessity. At one time he held
off, because he thought the Tories would come
into power in this country ; at another, because
there appeared to him to be a probability of a
convulsion in France, which would prevent
that country from giving assistance to Belgium ;
and now lie is in hopes that Carlism will triumph
in Spain, and that the three Powers will
lay hold of the opportunity of bringing the
question between absolutism and freedom
to a fierce and decisive struggle. In his present
hope he is doomed to be as much disappointed
as he has been in other instances ; but he will
not yield whilst hope, however glimmering,
remains to him. Whilst there is a chance of any
Power coming to the rescue, the King of HOL-
LAND will hold out, but the chance is feeble
indeed, and in a few weeks will, probably, have
disappeared even from the brain of the Dutch
Sovereign.
