FOREIGN REFUGEES IN ENGLAND•

No. 1.

EARL COMM TO Tal EARL or CLABINION.—(Received

Feb. 24.)

Paris, Feb. 23, Ha
My Lord,—Count Walewskl is very desirous that I
should express to your Lordship his astonishment and
regret at the interpretation put, during the late discus.
sion in the House of Commons, upon eertain phrases in
his despatch to Count Persigay of the 20th ultimo—
astonishment that his meaning could have been misun-
derstood, and regret that he should be believed, with his
knowledge of England, capable of applying as a gene-
rality en imputation which the context of his despatch
ought, he thinks, to have proved could only have been
intended for a definite class of strangez e.
I must, in justice to Count Walewski, add, that in
the numerous conversations which I have bad with him
during the last month, his language has been in entire
conformity with the assurances which I have thus the
honour to convey to your lordship on his part. More-
over, his Excellency has evinced so much concern that
the deplorable events which have occurred should not
interrupt the friendly relations which exist between the
two countries, that it is not to be supposed he would
intentionally have said aught that could be construed
into an attack upon the liberties of the British nation.

TM BAIL or itaLMESBITEY TO EARL COWLEY.
Foreign-office, March 4, 1858.

My Lords—You will take the earliest opportunity of
assuring Ceunt Walewski that her Majesty's advisers, on
their accession to office, are earnestly desirous of main-
taining in their integrity those close and friendly rela-
tions which, since the restoration of the empire, have
rearked the alliance between France and Great Britain,
to the-great benefit of both countries.
Convinced that these sentiments are shared by the
Government of his Imperial Majesty, and that both
Governments will concur in the opinion that such
friendly relations are beat maintained by frank and
unreserved intercourse, her Majesty's Government
appeal with confidence to that of his Imperial Majesty
to aid them in their endeavours to remove some causes
of apprehension which, it cannot be denied, have pro-
duoed, and if suffered to remain must continue to pro-
duce, painful effects upon the public mind of England.
Your lordship will assure Count Walewski that her
Majesty's Government entertain the fullest conviction
that his Excellency, in his despatch of the 20th
January, written at a moment when the just in- '
dignation of France and of the world had been ex-
cited by the late atrocious and cowardly attempt
upon the life of his Imperial Majesty, and under the
impression that the laws of England were insuffi-
cient to protect his Imperial Majesty against a repetition
of such attempts upon the part of foreign refugees resi-
deat in Great Britain, had no other intention than that
of pointing out to her Majesty's Government what ap-
peared to be a source of danger to France, and inviting
their attention to the supposed defect.
If such has been from the first the hope of her Ma-
jesty's Government, that hope has been completely
realised by the full and frank assurances which Count
Walewski has spontaneously given, as reported in your
derpatch of the !3d of February, of his astonishment and
regret at the interpretation put upon certain phrases in
his despatch to Count Persigny of the 20th of January,
"astomishmeet that his meaning could have been mis.
understood, and regret that he should be believed, with
his knowledge of England, capable of applying as a ge-
nerality, an imputation which the context of his despatch
ought, he thinks, to have proved could only have been
intended for a definite class of strangers,"
Though her Majesty's Government have, from the
first, entertained the belief that the erroneous construe-
ties had been put on Count Walewaki's despatch, they
?sceive with the highest satisfaction the voluntary repu-
diation, so honourable to his Excellency, of the meaning
which he believes to Lave been attributed to him ; and
in the name spirit of candour, they desire to call his
attention to those expressions which really have pro-
duced an unfavourable impression on the public opinion
sf this country.

Tour lordship will therefore remark to Count Welow-
ski, that i.eh Excellency, in stating that the attempt
which has just providentially failed, "like others which
have preceded it, was devised in England,"---in speak-
ing with reference to the "adeptes de la d6magogie"
established in England—of "assassination elevated to
doctrine, preached openly, practised in repeated at-
tempte,"—and in asking " whether the right of asylum
should protect such a state of things, or contribute to
favour their designs and their plans," has not unnatu-
rally been understood to imply imputations, not only
that the offences enumerated are not recognised as such
by the English law, and may be committed with impu-
nity, but that the spirit of English legislation is such as
designedly to shelter and screen the offender from
punishment.

Her Majesty's Government are persuaded that bad
Count iValewski known, when his Excellency held with
your lordship the conversation to which I have adverted
above, that sue construction was put upon certain por-
tions of his despatch of Jan. 20, he would have had no
difficulty in adding to the assurance then given the fur-
ther assurance that nothing could have been further
born his intention than to convey an imputation injurious
&like tO the morality and the honour of the British na-
tion. All the offences which his Excellency enumerates,
on being proved to the satisfaction of a jury, subject the
person convicted to the infliction of penalties more or
less severe; and if cases have been brought to the notice
at the Government of his Imperial Majesty, may appear
to have been overlooked by her Majesty's Government,
it is not to be doubted but that the advisers
ef her Majesty, in abstaining to prosecute,
have been influenced by motives of discretion quite
cousistent with an earnest desire to repress such
offences.

Subsequently, however, to the late atrocious attempt,
proceedings have been instituted in two cases—one for
complicity in the late murderous attempt ; another for
a publication " elevating assassination to doctrine ;"
sad another similar case is now under the consideration
of the law officers of the Crown.

It is hoped that these considerations will satisfy
Count Waleweki that either his expressions have been
greatly misunderstood, or that they hare been made
ander an erroneous apprehension of the state of the law
in this rmuntry, and that, in either case, his Excellency
will not hesitate, with that frankness which has charac-
terised his conduct, to offer an explanation which can-
o.ot fail to remove any existing misconception.
Yo ar lordship will read this despatch to Count
wt
""ki, and leave a copy with his Excellency.—l am,

(Translation.)

Paris, March 11, 1858.

M. le Comte,—Lord Cowley has delivered to me a
despatch which has been addressed to him by her Bri-
tannic Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Fo-
reign Affairs, dated the 4th of March, and of which you
will find a copy annexed hereto.
The Government of the Emperor congratulates itself
on the friendly dispositions of the new Cabinet, and
sees, with sincere satisfaction, that the present Ministers
of the Queen, like their predecessors, are under no mis-
apprehension either as to our intentions, or as to the
grave nature of the facts which we have signalised to
the Government of her Britannic Majesty.
The Government of the Emperor, M. le Comte, flatters
itself, that for six years, its whole conduct has precluded
the suspicion of its wishing, in any way, to wound the
dignity of the English nation ; and his Majesty thinks
that he has seized every opportunity during peace, as
well as during war, of drawing closer the bonds between
the two people. The Emperor, as you are aware, bas
always entertained this profound conviction, that the
reconciliation of two great nations, after ages of anta
goni-m, could be sincere and lasting only on one condi-
tion, namely, that the honour of one should never be
sacrificed to the honour of the other.

Bach sentiments, attested by the constant acts of the
Government of his Majesty, are a sufficient answer to
the erroneous interpretations of which our communica-
tion of the 20th of January has been the object. Be-
sides, what has happened ? I begged yon to signalize
to the Government of her Britannic Majesty, the
existence in London of a sect of foreigners which, in its
publications and its meetings, elevates assassination to
doctrine, and which, in the space cf six years, has sent
into France not less than eight assassins to strike a
blow at the Emperor, as is proved by the declarations
of the jury.

All these attempts, like that of the 14th January,
have found the Emperor impassive ; putting his trust
in the protection of Heaven, his Majesty ♦iews with
profound disdain the attacks which are directed only at
his person ; but the country has shown itself to be
deeply moved by them, and as, at the time when I
addressed my despatch to you, no repressive measure
had been taken in London, public opinion in Francs,
without taking into account the nature of the institu-
tions of England, nor the motives of discretion of which
Lord Malmesbury's communication speaks, was asto-
nished that so much audacity should have remained
unpunished.

object than to signalise acts and proceedings dangerous
to the tranquility of France, which the Imperial Govern,

British territories. Ilia Excellency admitted that he

Moreover, the character of our proceedings was laid
down to you in the clearest manner by the Emperor
himself, who wrote to you towards the end of January :
" I do deceive myself as to the little efficacy of the
measures which could be taken, but it will still be a
friendly act, which will calm much irritation here. Ex-
plain our position clearly to the Ministers of the Queen;
it is not now a question of saving my life, it is a ques•
tion of saving the alliance."
The Emperor, M. le Comte, has never intended to
demand the support of foreign Governments to increase
his personal security. A more elevated sentiment, an
interest greater in his eyes, have guided him, namely,
the maintenance of the good relations existing with the
neighbouring States.

BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.
Sir W. JOLLIFFE moved that the orders of the day
for to-morrow should have precedence of notices of
motion.

L->rd PALMERSTON asked if it was intended to be
applied to the other Tuesdays during the session.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it
was not but only for to-morrow to go into ways and
means.

The motion was then agreed to.
EAST INDIA LOAN BILL;
On the motion for the third reading of this bill,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
would state the source her Majesty's Government pro-
posed to take with reference to a subject under discus-
sion on Friday night, and had caused considerable mis-
apprehension in the public . ,
the case of the
Cagliari. When her Majesty ! Government accepted
office their most anxious attention was given, and most
naturally so, to the case of the Cagliari,
The SPEAKER intimated that the right hon. gentle-
man was out of order in speaking on a subject foreign
to the East India Loan Bill.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
was in hopes the house would have allowed him to have
gone a little out of the way and made his statement.
(Hear, hear, and "go on.)
The SPEA.KERsugge tad the bill should first be read
a third time, which was acceded to.
THE CA GLIA.RI.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then
said, when her Majesty's Government entered on office
the case of the Cagliari was the first to which they
directed their attention, and they found, after delibera-
tion, it was the unanimous opinion of the Cabinet, that
the jurisdiction of the Neapolitan Government had
been acknowledged by their predecessors in offiee,
and the present Government were precluded
from taking steps in contravention of that decision, the
jurisdiction of the Neapolitan Government having been
absolutely admitted by their predecessors. Her Majesty's
Government also found that circumstances alluded to in
that debate had been considered by their predecessors,
and the opinion of the law officers of the Crown taken
more than once on them. Finding that their predecessors
had acknowledged the jurisdiction of the King of Naples,
her Majesty's Government had thought it desirable to
and to consider what they had better do
under circumstances, and they came to the resolu-
tion,recognasitshtee it,
best means of assisting their countrymen in
Naples in the unhappy circumstances in which they
were placed, to send instantly a person of character and
influence to Naples, instructing him to insist on an im-
mediate trial of our countrymen, and to give them every
aid he possibly could. When the discussion alluded to
took place the noble lord the member for Tiverton (Lord
Palmerston) in a manner unexpected, stated that Go-
vernment bad been reconsidering the question previous
to their retirement from office, but he (the Chancellor of
the Exchequer) was bound to say after a careful exami-
nation of the papers there was no clue whatever to the
information then given to the house by the noble lord.
(Hear, hear.) He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer)
accepted without hesitation the declaration made in Par-
liament by the first minister of the Crown, but it
was impossible for himself and colleagues not to
feel what must be the inevitable consequences
of such a declaration. (Hear, hear.) It entailed on
the present Government a great responsibility, which
they did not intend to shrink frem—(hear, hear)—and
they had felt it their duty under these new circumstances,
for which they were perfectly unprepared, to submit a
case to the present law advisers of the Crown. They
felt themselves perfectly free from the engagement he
apprehended had bound the Gr' overnment and State of
England, and when the present Government had ob-
tained that opinion, and duly deliberated on it, it would
be our duty to do what we think best for the interests of
the law and of right and justice. (Hear.) They would then
act without fear or favour whatever, and do that which
they considered it behoved them to vindicate the rights
of the Sovereign and the rights of our fellow subjects.
Directions had been given for the production of all the
papers and correspondence relative to this question, and
departing from usual practice the Government would, as
soon as they received the opinion of the law officers of
the Crown, submit them to the house. (Hear. hear.)
He moved the adjournment of the house, to enable the
noble lord to make a statement to the house.

Lord PALMERSTOii said that practically the late
Government had acknowledged the jurisdiction of the
Neapolitan Government. He defended the course pur-
sued by bee Majesty's late Government, and expressed
his satisfaction that the papers were to be laid on the
table of the house, and he asked the house to suspend
their judgment till after that time.

The motion was then withdrawn.
SUPPLY.

Mr. FITZROY brought up the report on supply.
On the motion that it be agreed to,
Mr. B. OSBORNE called the attention of the house
to the course which her Majesty's Government intended
to pursue with respect to the business of the session, in
the coarse of which he taunted the Government with
having uo policy, and criticised the different speeches
delivered by the members of the Government on the
hustings.

CRINIINAL COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice Coleridge.)

REGINA V. J. KEY.

Mr. Mundell appeared for the prosecution, and
Mr. O'Brien, with whom was Mr. Bell, for the
defence.

This was an indictment for horse stealing, with
a count also for receiving. The prisoner, it ap-
peared, had, by acting alternately the part of a
policeman in disguise and of servant to a gentleman
farmer, as well as several others who personated
horse dealers, got possession of a horse which the
prosecutor's father bad sent for sale to the Notting-
ham market. The case disclosed a most elaborate
piece of knavery.

- Verdict of guilty. Sentence, four years' penal
servitude.

bracing 1 charge of infanticide, 1 of shooting with

Robert Palmer was indicted for a burglary in the
dwellinghouse of Henry Boslin, at Exmouth, on
the let of February last, and with stealing there-
from a large quantity of wearing apparel.
The prosecutor in this case was the landlord of
the Globe Hotel at Exmouth, and the prisoner had
formerly been the c' boots" there, but had been
discharged some months since. It appeared that
it had been the custom to allow a door leading from
the dwelling-house into a yard, in which the stables
were situated and which was enclosed by high walls
and gates, to be left unfastened. The " boots"
used to sleep in the stables, and the door of the
dwelling-house was left open to enable him to call
his master and get the keys of the malthouse. This,
of course, was well known to the prisoner, and it
further appeared th t a person getting into the yard
might easily conceal himself until after the gates
were locked at night, and so would have access to
the house through the unfastened door.
It appeared by the evidence that on the night of
the Ist of February the house was left all safe
somewhere about half-past 12, and at that time
there were various overcoats and shawls left in the
commercial-room, and also a variety of articles of
wearing apparel in the bedroom of Mr. Boslin.
The next morning at half-past 5 the outer gates of
the yard were found to be open, as also the door
leading from the yard into the dwelling-house. A
number of coats were
missine from the commercial
room, and coats, waistcoats, and other articles from
Mr. Boslin's room ; and it appeared that an attempt
had been made to force a drawer in Mr. Boslin's
room, in which
he kept his money and valu-
ables. Mr. Boslin was not at home that night,
and suspicion fell on the prisoner, who was
traced to Bath, and apprehended, when two of the
coats were found on him, and in his pocket a
pistol loaded with ball and capped, and gunpowder,
caps, and 20 bullets in another pocket. On
being charged with the robbery he at first said
the "boots" at the Globe owed him We./
he knew nothing about it, and then he said that
and could
not pay him, that he had bean concealed in his
room for two days and three nights, and then
they went up into the house and committed the
robbery, and tried to force open the drawer of Mr.
Boslin's table to get his money, but being frightened
ran down stairs with the articles of clothing.
When before the magistrates he told the same story
of being kept in the "boots's" room, but said that
the " boots" had given him the clothes for his debt.
The whole of this story was proved to be untrue,
and in his box was found a turnscrew, with which
it appeared the drawer had been attempted to be
forced. The prisoner had pledged a large quantity
of the articles stolen at Exeter the morning after
the burglary.
The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was
entonced to four years' penal servitude.
