of the general peace- of Europe and the world. (Hear;
hear.) If, then, we have an ally so true, so f ithful, so
powerful to aid us, and so capable of rendering the alliance
between the two countries beneficial to both and to the
world at large, let us not lightly do that which might
he considered offensive to that so cereign and to the nation
171iieh he rules ; and if we aro able by any legislation of ours,
without departing from the spirit of our constitution, and
without introducing any new principle into our laws, to add
the slightest security to the valuable life of that great and
illustrious sovereign, we should, indeed, incur a heavy reapon.
sibility if, having those means in our power, we were lightly
o reject them. Wo should indeed, be open to censure if,
having it in our power to diminish the dangers to which that
great and illustrious man has lately been exposed, we were,
upon any paltry fooling of offended dignity, or of irritation
at the expressions of three or four colonels of French regi-
ments, to act the childish nart of refusing an important mea-
sure on ,grounds so insignificant and so trumpry. (Cheers.)
I shout! here explain, perhaps, what appears to have been
very much lost sight of, that it is almost invariably tbo
habit of the French ,tr.-.y and even of stall detach-
ments of the army, to send iu addresses 'upon occs.-
•4ons of this kind ; and, as a matter of c urso, those ad-
dne-ses go into the .Moniteur Hon. me bore seem to
imagine that those ad tresses are selected by the head of the
Government, and that they a, e inser ed in the Moniteur by
special order; but anybody who is acquainted with the course
of business knows that it won d be gaits inconsistent with the
numerous avocati .ns of the Emperor that he should read
throug't 200 or 300 of those addresses in order to select those
whien he might wish to publish, and to repress the others
There is, theret,re, no reason for saying that because those
addresses were inserted in the Mcnateur they were adopted
by the Government of France. (Hear.) I hope the house will
not, either by refusing us leave to bring in the bill, or by a
tootle for delay— which would be tantamount to the same
thing—create the impression that there is in the country or in
this house any indifference to the abominable crime to which
this bill relates, or to that imortant alliance which exists
between the Governments arm nations of En. and and France.
I trust, on the contrary. that the house, by* giving us leave
to bring in the bill and by carrying it through its various
stages, will afford a manifest proof that we do feel the utmost
detestation for that base system of conspiracies to which the
Bill refers, and that we are willing to do all that it is possible
to do, consistently with the principles of our constitution, to
prevent the concoction of these crimes in England, and to
add at least some security to the Emperor of the French by
rendering it more difficult ior such atrocities in future to be
planned in England, and executed by persons assembling on
these s ,ores, which ought only to be the shelter of the
virtuous, the honourable, the patriotic, and the brave.
(Cheers.) .
Mr. COX, amid loud cries of" Divide," moved the adjourn-
ment of the debate.

Lord PALMERSTON—I should really hope that after two
nights' debate the house• is at least prepared to come to a
decision upon the preliminary question as to the introduction
of the bill. (General cheering ) If my hon. friend wishes to
discuss the principle of the bill he will have ample oppor-
tunity when it is introduced. (Laughter.) At all ev, nte, I
think it ray uty to di ide against a further adjournment.
Mr. WYLD hoped that his h..m. friend would not press his
Motion for an adjournment, and to k that opportunity of
stating that although he intended to vote against the intro.
ducti nof the Bill he wa not indifferent to the value of one
alliance with France or the atrocity of the a tempt to destroy
the life of the Emperor. He prot.:sted against the interpre-
tation which the noble lord a tempted to put on the conduot
of those who were opposed to the Bill. (Cries of " Divide.")
L Ord . RUSSELL hoped the, the division would take
pl.-ce that night, and suggested to t s hon. a. d leartell geut,o-
iaau (Mr. Kiuglake) who had oved the amendment, the
desirableuesi of his withdrawal of it in order that the ques.
tiou might be simplified, and the division taken on the ques-
tion that leave be given to introda. e the bill. (Cheers.)
Mr. COX would withdraw his motion for adjournment.
(Laughter.)
Mr. K iNGLAKE —I understand it is the general desire
of th hons,., that the division should he tak en on a direct ne.
4utive rather than upon the ~monument which I had the
honour to propose. (Hear.) In Order that the house m4y
leterioino whether it wile be lizlit-to tzecoda to my reirmst
that I shall he allowed to withdraw my amendment, I have
only to remind them that the object w the amendment was to
induce the house to refrain from legislating upon this subject
mitil documents relatiug to the point in discussion between
the two Government should be p educed. Now, it has fallen
out that the material document to which my mind was di-
rected has been read in this house in the course of the ire-
via debate. (Hear.) I think, t:•erefore, that, consistently
with the view which induced me to propo e the amendment,
I may respectfully :isk the house to permit me t, w thd aw it.
The motion of Mr. C for adjournment, as well as the
amendment of Mr Kinglake, having be,,u withdr wn the
original motion was put.

Cambridgeshire champion, albeit Church Langton with
17lbs, the best of the weights, ought to be difficult to
shake off, Nothing is known of the merits or demerit* •
of the two year olds engaged in the Brooklesby Stakes.

and the Queen of Scots.
Vandermulin has been talked about in connection
with the Lincoln Handicap, but, recollecting his break'
down at Warwick, I am disinclined to trust him over a
course which will be somewhat hard. Could I calculate
upon a start, I should have no hesitation in giving my
vote of confidence iu Taller Gal, Plumatone, and T. r.
Cooke. The jumping events I shall not attempt to
foretell.
