BRITISH INTERVENTION IN
LA PLATA

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
ROUSE OF LORDS, March 3.
The LORD CISANCELLOR took his seat on the Woo-
sack at Five o'clock.
LAW IMPROVEMENT.
Lord CAMPBELL moved the second reading of three
Bills for the improvement of the common law process in
the Courts of England, Scotland, and Ireland. It was
not necessary that he should now occupy the
House by going into the details of these three
Bills. For two of them, the Courts of Common Law
Process Bills for England and Ireland, passed their
Lordships unanimously last session. But they were
objected to in the House of Commons, on the ground
that there was a want of reciprocity, as the Bills did
not apply to Scotland.—(A laugh.) That objection
was now removed, as his Right Honourable Friend
the Lord Advocate had prepared a Bid, called
the Court of Sessions Process Bill cScotland)
on precisely the same principles. The object of the Bill
was to enable actions to be carried on without the per-
soral service of process upon the person sued, that per-
son being in a foreign country at the time. A cor-
respondent of the Noble Lord the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs had expressed apprehension that these
Bilis would he regarded by foreign Courts as a usurpa-
tion of their jurisdiction. But that could not be the
case, as the Bill related only to process in actions between
British subjects, and for debts contracted in the United
Kingdom.
Lord BROUGHAM said, that his Noble and Learned
Friend, having made a reference to what fell from
him last session, he would beg to observe that his
objection had not been to the principle, but to the details
of the Bill. Of the principle he highly approved, for
he thought that it was calculated to remedy a great
evil. There were, it was true, some objections to the
Bill which be entertained, and if they were not removed
he should feel it his duty to press those objections. But,
with regard to the principle of the present measure,
ho appealed both to his Noble and Learned Friend who
moved the second reach g of this Bill, and also to his
Noble and Learned Friend on the NVoolsack, whether it
was not a right and equitable principle which the Bill
affirmed? There was une thing especially to be observed
in the Bill—that the object of the plaintiff was to con-
ceal his proceedings from the defendant, and he
consequently might, and probably would, get some
fbreigner of indifferent character to swear that process
was duly served. Now such a foreigner might be out of
the jurisdiction of any court, and beyond reach of all
punishment fur perjury. What he wished was, that the
service, or that the affidavit of service, at any rate, should
be a British service.
Lord CAMPBELL said that the opinion of his Noble
and Learned Friend was worthy of attention, but the
objection might he considered in Committee.
The Bill was then read a second time.
FORCES IN IRELAND.
The Duke of WELLINGTON, seeing the Noble
Marquis (the Marquis of Normanby) in his place,
begged to suggest that the motion, of which he had
given notice, should be brought on on the same day with
his previous motion ; for he had not had time t) look
over the returns of the forces sent to Ireland,
and if the Noble Marquis would postpone his motion,
it would give him time to look over these returns.
The Marquis of NORMANBY said that his motion
was not for the amount of the force sent to Ireland, but
the number of troops in that country on the Ist of
January in each year for the last ten years. He should
be happy to comply with the Noble Duke's request, to
bring on both the motions on the same day. Ile had
been anxious to bring the matter before the House,
because his Noble Friend (Earl Fortescue), who had
stayed in town on purpose, was unable to remain longer
than to-morrow. Understanding that his Noble Friend
the Secretary for the Colonies would remain in town
the whole of to-morrow, so as to be present at the
discussion, he could not say that he would postpone his
motion without he had the consent of his Noble Friend.
The Duke of WELLINGTON—My Noble Friend
the Secretary for the Colonies will certainly not be able
to be in the House to-morrow.
THE AMERICAN TARIFF. a
The Earl of CLARENDON wished to ask a ques-
tion of the Noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign
Affairs, as to whether measures had been taken to proem re
the abolition of a certain portion of the American tariff.
The portion to which he alluded pressed exceedingly on
the merchants of this country, and he thought the duties
imposed on them were in direct violation of an existing
treaty between this country and the United States of
America. The American tariff imposed a heavier duty on
goods imported into the United States from the East than
from the West ; and goods coming from China were
admitted at a lower rate of duty than goods coming
from England. Indeed, he believed in some instances
the amount of duty varied from 90 to 120 per cent.,
whilst the goods from the West, were subject to a much
lower rate of duty. Now, there could be no doubt that
this pressed heavily on the English merchant, and was
in direct violation of a treaty existing between the two
countries, China shawls at a much lower rate of duty
than those sent from this country. The merchants, there-
fore, had a right to thick that that was not only an inju-
dicious, but an unjust distinction on the part of America. It
must be remembered, too, that while they were praising
this tariff they were claiming a return of the duties
which had been paid on their rice imported into this coun-
try, in consequence of us having lowered the duties on the
same article imported from the East and West Indies.
The whole value of the rice received during the time of
the low duty was not 3001.—(Hear, hear.) He
thought that the United States suffered no hard-
ship ; and the whole case was very different
from their conduct towards us ; as they hid on
heavy duties on English goods, and reduced them upon
other goods. All he wished now. to ask his Noble Friend
was, whether he recognised the claims of British sub-
jects, and what effect his representations had had upon
the American Government?—(Hear.)
The Earl of ABERDEEN said that his Noble
Friend had rightly stated the case which he
had brought under the notice of their Lord-
ships. The subject had engaged the attention
of the Government for some time ; but he thought the
experience of his Noble Friend might convince him that
it was possible to have a very good case without being
able at once to succeed. The gentleman who now re-
presented her Majesty's Government (Mr. Pakenham)
had represented the matter to the American Govern-
ment, but it had not yet received the attention which it
deserved.—(llear, hear.) Mr. Pakenham's last dis-
patch upon the subject was Gated the 3rd of Oc-
tober, and at that time he proposed to put
himself in communication with persons in New
York, who were principally interested in the case,
and he hoped to receive from them informati,m
which would strengthen his means of applying
to the United States' Government. But he (Lord Aber-
deen) would deceive his Noble ,Friend if he did not say
that the subject of our claims had been brought forward
very prominently in Congress.
CONSTABLES BILL (SCOTLAND).
On the motion of Lord DALHOUSIE, the Constables
and other officers in Public Works Bill (Scotland) was
read a second time.
THE BISHOPRICS OF ST. ASAPH AND
BANGOR.
The Earl of POWIS presented a number of petitions
from places in Wales, against the anion of the Welsh
bishoprics.
THE NORTH WALES RAILWAY.
The same NOBLE LORD presented also a number of
petitions in favour of the North Wales Railway Bill.
Their Lordships then adjourned.

power, as do most Spanish South American chiefs,
by violence ; rules with a strong and unscru-
pulous arm ; and will only abandon his position
when driven from it by' the means he attained
it. This, we are inclined to believe, is the ut-
most that can fairly be charged against him, The
accusations of having driven through the streets of
Buenos Ayres in a chariot drawn by naked women,
of having pickled the ears of one of his opponents as
an ornament for his daughter the Senorita Manue-
lita, of manufacturing in his own house whips out
of human skins, of having poisoned four, cut the
throats of 3,765, shot 1,397, poinarded 722, and killed
otherwise in cold blood 1,600 of his opponents, besides
sacrificing the lives of 14 920 in battle, assuredly re-
quire some better testimony to induce belief than In-
darte, the news-writer of Monte Video, and his very
penny-a-line-looking 7'abas de Sangre ; more esfe-
chilly when Mr. Mallalieu produces evidence that
many of the victims recorded in these bloody tablets
are still "alive and kicking;" and when this dealer
in horrors, " wholesale and for exportation," was, it
turns out, a burglar, a larcener, and a forger in his
youth. Mr. Mallalieu does not whitewash Roses,
but he certainly rubs a good deal of the black from
the picture the enemies of that chief have so coarsely
and unscrupulously daubed in; and as "the spirit of
man" is not "divine" in South America, that is no
small service to General Rosas.
We can further agree with Mr. Mallalieu in think-
ing that, on the whole, Rosas' dictatorship has not
been prejudicial ',to Buenos Ayres. He upheld the
dignity of the Argentine Republic in the quarrel with
France, has preserved internal tranquillity, has kept
out of debt, and has consolidated the Confederation
over which he presides; and under his administra-
tion both its population and its trade have increased.
He has, doubtless, tyrannised over it ; but the alterna.
tive in South America seems to be—tyranny or
revolution ; and of the two, a Government a little too
strong is assuredly preferable. In these respects (and
to all who desire authentic information on them, we
recommend Mr. Mallalieu's pamphlets), the state of
the Argentine Republic is the best refutation to the
charges against Rosas, as was the state of Paraguay
to the calumnies by which only—and not his many
compensating merits—Dr. Francia was known in
Europe.
Here, however, our concurrence in Mr. Mallalieu's
views terminates. The personal character of Rosas
and the results of his dictatorship in the Argentine
Republic have, in our opinion, little or nothing to do
with the larger question of interference in the affairs
of La Plata. Neither has, we must also think, that
to which Mr. Mallalieu is desirous of tracing
the solicitation for our interference—viz., the Monte
Video loan jobbing of certain resident English mer-
chants. We know nothing, except what Mr. Malla-
lieu tells us of such jobbing, and yet we are the ad-
vocates of intervention ; and if we can, ignorant
thereof, advocate, Lord Aberdeen may surely autho-
riser it without being chargeable of subserviency to
the jobbers.
We advocate intervention, because the independence
of Monte Video is involved in the success of General
Oribe and his ally Rosas; 1. Because we look on the
fall of that city as the subjection of the Banda
Oriental, really, though not, perhaps, at first nomi-
nally, to Rosas ; 2. Because such subjection, real or
nominal, would move him sovereign of the La
Plata, the Uruguay, and the Parana; 3. Be-
cause such sovereignty would enable, or, at
least, greatly assist him to overrun all the
ancient viceroyalty of Buenos Ayres; 4. Be-
cause the extension of his influence or his Go-
vernment over the Banda Oriental would give him
the means, which wo fear he would not be slow to
use, of convulsing the internal tranquillity of
the empire of Brazil ; 5. Because British media-
tion and intervention in 1828 established the inde•
pendence of the Banda Oriental, and guaranteed its
continuance; and, 6. Because the faith of the Bri-
tish Crown is by implication pledged to Brail for
the free navigation of La Plata by the subjects of
that empire. With Mr. Mallalieu, we hold interven-
tion generally to be repugnant to the law of nations;
but so good a jurisconsult as he is will see in the sth
and 6th of the foregoing reasors irresistible interna-
tional grounds for intervention in the present case.
But Oribe is, Mr. Mallalieu assures us, the law-
fully elected President of Monte Video, and Ri-
vera was—for his presidency has now expired—
merely a nominee of the foreign residents of
that city. We decline sifting the grounds
of this assurance; we are content with knowing
that Rivera was the de facto President, and that
Oribe can only be successful against the people who are
said to have elected him, by the arms of Rosas.
Oribe is but the tool of Rosas; his triumph will be
Rosas's gain. The struggle is not one of disputed
presidency ; the real issue is the independence or de-
pendence of Monte Video. But were it otherwise,
England recognised the presidency of Rivera when
she concluded with him a treaty of commerce.
Sir Robert Peel, it may be recollected, in announ-
cing on the 6th of February the intervention of Eng-
land and France, " trusted they would have the con-
currence of Brazil" To this Mr. Mallalieu objects
that Brazil was the prime mover of the intervention.
We agree with Mr. Mallalieu that the Premier's
wish was unnecessary ; for it is notorious that in-
tervention was the immediate object of Viscount
D'Abrantes' mission to Europe. But who, may we ask
Mr. Mallalieu, so deeply interested in the indepen-
dence of Monte Video as Brazil ? Its downftal would
bring Rosas in contact with the Brazilian province of
Rio Grande, and place the internal tranquillity of
the empire at the mercy of its old enemy, embittered
by a knowledge that Brazil has assisted Monte Video
in resisting his arms, and has stirred Corrientes up to
rebellion against him. Mr. Mallalieu surely could not
expect Brazil to be quiescent under such prospects ?
Though differing thus materially from Mr. Malla-
lieu, his pamphlet has, we reiterate, taught us much
we were before uninformed of; and if of other English

THE RUSSIA COMPANY.

On Saturday evening the Governors of this wealthy
and influential Company gave their annual banquet at
the London Tavern. Invitations had been sent as usual
to all the Cabinet Ministers and other distinguished
personages who have hitherto honoured the Company
with their presence ; but many of them having pre-
viously accepted invitations to Parliamentary dinners at
Sir B. Peel's and the Speaker's, sent apologies for their
unavoidable absence. Nevertheless, the room was well
filled with a highly respectable company, consisting of
one or two members of the Government, the Russian
Embassy, and upwards of a hundred of the most opulent
of the merchants of London.

The banquet took place in the great dining-room,
which was furnished with all the splendour customary
on such occasions.

The chair was taken by William Astell, Esq., Go-
vernor of the Company, who was supported on either
side by his Excellency Baron Brunnow, the Russian
Ambassador ; and the Eight Hon. Sir G. Clerk, M.P.,
Master of the Mint and Vice-President of the Board of
Control. _

Among the rest of the company we observed Viscount
Canning, Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs;
Right Hon. W. B. Baring, John G. S. Lefevre, Esq.;
Thomas Macgregor, Esq.; Thomas Masterman, Esq.,
M.P; A. Pringle, Esq., M.P.; Thomas Baring, Esq.,
M.P.; G. W. Hope, Esq., M.P.; H. Stuart, Esq., M.P. ;
George Lennox Conyngham, Esq.; Thomas Bidersoll,
Esq; W. Cotton, Esq., Governor of the Bank of Eng-
land ; the Chairman of the East India Company, the
Deputy Chairman of the East India Company, It. J.
Marchison, Esq.; James Holford, Esq.; Edward Har-
man, Esq.; D. C. Guthrie, Esq. ; J. Morgan, Esq. ; B.
Hawes, Esq.; J. A. Barnes, Esq.; Richard Paris, Esq.;
W. Carr, Esq.; J. W. Coa.tswill, Esq.; S. W. Cattley,
Esq.; J. Carr, Esq.; G. 'Draper, Esq.; A. Field, Esq.
The gentlemen present connected with the Russian
Embassy were:—M. de Berg, George Krehmer, Consul;
M. de Longuinoff, M. de Kalergi, Capt. 0. Kowoff, Lieut.
Abrosoff, Lieut. Pankateiff, Lieut. Lvdokimoff, Lieut.
Sokoloff, Lieut. Alexandroff, Rev. E. Popoff, M. La Be-
linage, M. de Stamel, Rev. E. Smith, late chaplain at
Archangel; M. Wegnider, M. J. Paris, &c.
After the usual toasts had been given,
The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of " his Imperial
Majesty the Emperor of Russia," which, having been
drank with all the honours, was followed by the health
of his representative, "His Excellency Baron Brunnow."
The Baron BRUNNOW, in reply, said—Mr. Chairman
and Gentlemen, I can assure you that I rise with the
deepest feelings of gratitude to thank you for the honour
you have conferred upon me, and for this renewal of the
kindness I have ever received from the Russia Com-
pany. On no former occasion have I felt it so strongly
as at present, connected as it is with the recent visit of
his Majesty the Emperor to this country.—(Cheers.) I
need not remind you that last year within these walls,
and at the hospitable board of the Russia Company, my
respected friend the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of
the Government, expressed to you his warmest wish and
hope that his Majesty would be pleased again to visit
this country. Neither need I remind you of the enthu-
siasm with which you received that suggestion. I re-
joice that the expectation then entertained has been ac-
complished —(Cheers.) I rejoice also that it was under
my Right Honourable Friend's administration that his
Imperial Majesty offered that proof of his friendship
to her Majesty the Queen, the proof of his regard to
her Majesty's Government, and his proof of confi-
dence in the British nation.—(Loud cheers.) I say this
advisedly, for I remember that his Majesty the Em-
peror, on landing on the shores of this country, was
pleased to express to me his entire reliance on the good
feeling with which he expected to be received in this
country, where, in his early life, he had received so
kind and so hospitable a reception.—(Cheers.) Now,
gentlemen, I am happy to say these expectations were
fulfilled in a manner most gratifying to his Majesty's
feelings.—(Renewed cheers) I remember the day
during his visit to Windsor, when his Majesty visited
Ascot races, and was there pleased to walk down upon
the race-course among the crowd, unattended, and
without any display, thus evincing entire confidence in
the people, and saying he was " glad to be again among
the people of England."—(Cheers.) I remember, also;
the day when the military review took place at Windsor.
On that occasion, when the Noble Duke of Wellington
passed before the Emperor at the head of his regiment,
his Majesty, prompted by an ebullieion of good feeling,
pUt spurs to his horse, and rode up and shook hands
with him, thus publicly giving proof of his respect for
the Illustrious Duke, and an argument for the con-
tinuance of the general peace of Europe.—(Cheers.)
The Emperor was pleased, also, while in this
country, to accept the hospitality of the Noble
Duke of Devonshire, where he was surrounded
by the chief members -of the British aristocracy,
and where he was pleased in personal intercourse to
show his regard for all those who, by their eminence in
public life and public services, had added so much to the
splendour of the throne of this country.—(Cheers.)
Again, I shall never forget the day of his Majesty's- de-
parture. The road from Buckingham Palace to Wool-
wich was crowded with an immense multitude of people.
The river was crowded with ships, steamers, and boats.
I can assure you it was a magnificent display of national
wealth, activity, and commercial prosperity. The Em-
peror was delighted. Before taking leave of his Royal
Highness Prince Albert, his Majesty looked down the
river and said, " This is the most magnificent view I
ever saw." His Majesty also expressed his gratitude for
the kindness lie met with, and his sincerest desire for the
domestic happiness of her Majesty the Queen, and for
the continued prosperity of this country.—(Cheers.) I
am unable to add more, but this I can say, that the visit
of his Majesty to this country will ever be recollected
with delight by his Majesty and his people. The Noble
Baron conclnded by proposing " The Health of the Go-
vernor, and Prosperity to the Russia Company."
The GOVERNOR (W. Astell, Esq.) returned thanks,
and gave the health of " Sir R. Peel, anti the rest of her
Majesty's Ministers."
Sir GEORGE CLERK eail if it were matter of regret to
the company, as no doubt it was, that owing to those un-
avoidable causes to which their worthy chairman had
alluded, they were deprived of the pleasure of seeing at
their table that day all litr Majesty's Ministers, it was
doubly a source of regret to him, since he was thus un-
expectedly called on, and felt himself so inadequately
prepared, to respond properly to the toast just proposed.
He knew that his Right Hon. Friend Sir R. Peel would
have rejoiced to be present, because he felt, as every man
must who considered what was conducive to the welfare
of the country, that whatever promoted the trade be-
tween this country and that mighty empire, whose
representative they had the honour to see amongst
them, must cement the bonds of union between the
two nations, and contribute materially to the welfare
of all classes of the community.—(Cheers.) But
above all, he knew that his Right Hon. Friend would
regret his absence on that occasion, since it had de •
privet] him of the pleasure which they had enjoyed
of hearing that most powerful and effective appeal to their
feelings which had just been made by the Russian Am-
bassador.—(Cheers.) If the manner in which her Ma-
jesty's subjects did indeed receive that great Sovereign
was agreeable t, his feelings, he thought he might ven-
ture to state, in the name of all present, and of every
class of her blajrs-y's subjects, that nothing could be
more grateful to them than the confidence which his
Itnperial Majesty was pleased to show in them.—
(Cheers.) It anything could have added to the pleasure
of the Imperial visit last year, it was the utter absence
of state on the part of his Majesty, and the exhibition of
that confidence in the people of England he was pleased
to repose in them.—(Cheers.) He thought he might
safely say that nothing would tend more than this visit
to cement and render perpetual the bonds of unity and
friendship between these mighty empires.—(Cheers.)
The following toasts were then given :—" The Go
vernor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England,"
."Ile Governor and the Esst India Company," and
" Mr. Masterman and the Members of the City of
-London." After giving the toast of " Perpetual amity
b: tween Great Britain and Russia" the chair was ya-
mud and the proceedings terminated.

that a large amount of relief has been granted, and a strong
