LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY -JO, 18:29.

Lord GODEMCH'S speech of last night in the
House of Lords contained such a distinct denial of
Mr- HERRIES'S itatetnent, respecting the disso-
lution of the late Government, that we are for the
present unwilling to offer many observations on
the subject. If our readers, however, are
anxious to peruse views, as distinct as the
statements in question, we would refer them to
the speculations of onr Cotemporaries, which
will be found, as usual, under the head of
" Spirit of the Public Journals."
*At first sight, no doubt,
it appears impossible,
that two individuals should give a different nar-
rative
of the same occurrences, without wil-
fully oils-stating facts. But the fable of the
cameleou should be borne in mind, and
the contradictory accounts of the three
travellers, who were still all in the right.
Be-
side preconceived opinions have really such an
extraordinary n • ,
uence upoti tne mental optics—
that; flity can perfectly distort objects on which
iten fix their steadiest gaze. Thus, his possi
ble 'that ‘ Mr- '.l.4ll.ltrEs, feeling hurt (with
some I:iisriri)* the circumstances attending
6is adinission to the late Cabinet—may
hrie• :received most erroneous impressions
fanciedfe~tnsYript9ins, which inipi"essions
not nem: contradicted by his .Colleagues (be-
cause never suspected to exist) gradually

,trengthened into a positive conviction of the
Ministry being all along in a protracted "'dying
agony, _ •
For whatever may be the case with others, it
is always with pain that we are forced" to doubt
the veracity of any individual who has previously
borne a character for upright and honourable
dealing. • •

The French Papers of Sunday, with the
Gazette dc France dated Monday,.contain little

. ,
thetat
Ho% s• The inott. important
thing in tnes the
Speech of the Foreign Minister on-the relations
of France with other Nations.., The followinw
are a few extracts from that Speech, which do
honour to the Count de FERRONAYS :
The very origin of the misfortunes of the Greeks, which
had not begun in Greece itself,—the want of agreement in
the first resistance,—the abuse that was made elsewhere of
the example of an insurrection which despair seemed to
justify,—all these circumstances demanded serious medita.
tions on the past of the Powers. The desire to tranquil-
lize Greece, indicated the necessity of obtaining that result
by force, if persuasion should fail. War, therefore, became
a possible condition of the pacification desired, and this war
included in it the most serious question of modern times,—
a question which had arrested the genius of Catherine, the
wisdom of Alexander, the policy of a whole century, and
European civilization.
To tranquillize Greece, without overthrowing an edifice,
the fall of which might convulse Europe, was the problem
to be'solved. The difficulty was increased by delay, tor-
rents of blood daily flowed, and alienated more and snore
the contending parties. Philanthropy and
.piety by turns
proposed impracticable plans. The mediation of the Go-
vernments became necessary.

After tracing the course of events, from the
signing of the Protocol at St. Petersburgh to the
Treaty of the 6th of July, and the subsequent
cbmmunication of it to the PORTE and to IBRA-
HIM PACHA, who it was hoped would suspend
hostilities till he received further instructions,
the Speaker continued :

The combined squadrons had driven into the port of
Navarii: the numerous fleet of the Pacha, part of which,
notwithstanding his promise, had left it to commit fresh
hostilities.. It was necessary to secure the means of re-
ducing Ibrahim to inaction. The squadrons entered the
harbour itself, hut preceded by words of peace and by
several flags of truce. The Turks either did not or pre-
tended not to understand the intentions of the Adniirals

they dared to attack.. The chastisement of this audacity
was prompt_and terrible : the three squadrons emulated
each other in courage and honour. And you know; Noble
Peers, that in the opinion, and by the confession, of his
worthy rivals, the French Admiral obtained one of the
most brilliant palms of that day. •
This was glory, but it was not war : for the very day
after the battle the Admirals had assumed their pacific at-
titude. They declared that they did not consider them-
selvc3 in a state of hostility with the Porte for *wing
avenged the honour of their flags. In fact, no subsequent
fact has contradicted these assurances ; and the Porte itself
must have been sensible that the commanders of their fleet
had draWn .down their misfortune on themselves, since it
has not shown any irritation towards the Ambassadors, or
any resentment towards the Christians. It, however, per
sisted in its .refusal, but endeavouring, by all means, to re-
tain the Atnbas.sadors, who have at length found it necessary

,
to quit Constantinople. Since their departure the Porte
has applieff_directly to the three Cabinets, in order still to
keep up some intercourse with them.. It has also taken
under its special protection the subjects of the three Powers.
The interests of those of the King are besides intrusted fur
the moment to the Ambassador of the Netherlands, who is
entitled on-this oeca,ion to the gratitude of his Majesty's
Government.:
This statement prove, to you that our relations with the
Porte are suspended, but not broken off. The Ambassa-
dors who have left Constantinople are going to meet at
Corfu, near the theatre of events, conveniently situated both
to renew the negotiations which they had commenced, and
to concert measures with the Admirals to put dOwn the
piracy which afflicts the Archipelago, and the infamy of
which was one of causes of the proposed inediatien.
His Excellency concluded this part of his
speech with the following passage :.--
The thre.eCourts are acting in the most perfect harmony
with regard to the affairs otpreece. Their anion, founded
on an entire conformity of views and principles, is ffirther
strengthened by every thing which a noble disinterested,
ness and a sincere love of peace can inspire them with, on
behalf oftheir generous enterprise.
It may, perhaps, be permitted me to bear testimony
here to the noble assurances which I have bad the happi-
nes., to receive personally from the mouth of the young so-
vereign of a great empire, the worthy inheritor of the wis-
dom of Alexander; and who has also a right to reckon on
the fidelity of his allies in the engagements which bind
them all, and guarantee the maintenance of the balance in
Europe. .

You have just heard the loyal protestations of the
stets of Great Britain ; and the firm intention manifested
to you on the part of the. King, to execute scrupulously
the treaty which he has subscribed, completes the guaran-
tee of a success which we still hope to be able to obtain
withoutluving recourse to arms.

We 'received this morning the Austrian Ob-
server of the Bth inst., but it contains no news.
The delay of the mail from Constantinople was
the theme of wonder in all places having any
communications. with that capital:—

BUCHAREST, JAN. 25.

In order to obtain some information on the ether side
of ,the Danube, respecting the extraordinary delay of the
mail of the 10th from Constantinople, one of the Tartars
belonging to the Austrian Embassy was despatched the
day before yesterday to Giurgewo, with orders to obtain,
by the assistance of the Governor of that fortress, Kuttchuk
Ahmed Aga, authentic information on this subject from
Rudschuk. Yesterday evening the Tartar returned with
a letter from the Director of the Customs at Rudschuk,
which states that the mail, accompanied by two Tartars,
with a courier and two merchants, mired at liudschuk on
the 23d, in the morning, but could not pass the Danube,
which at present is imperfectly frozen in many parts
in the middle, so that the messengers of Kuttehuk Ahmed
Aga had not been able to pass without great danger ; two
days before the river was entirely frozen over.
On the 17th of this month an extraordinary phenome-
non was observed here ; the mercury in all the barometers
rose to an unusual height, passed all the degrees marked
upon the scale, and remained at this surprising elevation
to the 20th, when it suddenly fell very considerably. The
weather during those three days was cold and dry, the wind
south-east, and Reaumur's thermometer at 16 degrees be-
low zero. On the same days the barometer here and at
Vienna was also at the extraordinary height of 29
inches, 3 or 4 lines, the temperature being 12 or 13
degrees, Reaumur, below zero.

The Allgenzeine Zeitung of the 13th inst.
says that the Courier, with letters from Con-
stantinople, had arrived at Vienna on the .Bth
inst. as had also the 'French Papers, containing
our KING'S Speech to Parliament. The tenor
of the Speech was deemed satisfactory, as pro-
mising the continuance of peace, notwithstanding
that the stipulaiions of the Treaty of Interven-
tion are to be carried into effect. The accounts
from Constantinople say, that' all the subjects of
the Three Mediating Powers must *leave the
cal►ital, without any exception. This' may be
true, but under existing circumstances we
question the-fact
vitNNA, FEN. 8.

This morning at seven o'clock the courier witk letiers
hem Constantinople has at length arrived. This morning
also the French paPers brought' the King's Speech on open-
in; the English Parliament; we found in it every thing
that we wished, and though it speaks of the maintenance of
the treaty of the 6th July, this is done in a manner which
greatly diminishes the apprehension for the peace of Eut
rope. Yesterday a courier was despatched from this city
to St. Petersburgh.

A division of the ariny•of General Rosen has just arrival
Item. The field equipage of his Imperial Highness the
Grand Duke Constantine is gene to Lublin, to which
place his Highness's head-quarters were ordered a few days
ago. The Grand Duke himself is still here, and will not
go to Lublin till he has arranged the affairs of his.Govern-
!tient. An order of the day' to the Polish army, exhorts it
to observe the best discipline, and to fulfil the hopes which
ids Majesty the Emperor of Russia entertains of it in case
political events should call it into the field. The exchange
of couriers between this city, St. Petersburgh, and. Bessa..
rabia, is now very active.

The New Times of this morning publishes
he followinc, -falsehoods—we call them false-
.
hoods, because the English language has no
gentler word for expressing such a departure from
truth :-*—

‘' There were but two original reports of Mr. Hus-
KISSON'S Liverpool speech published in the London
Daily Papers. One was published in the Liverpool
Albion, of which we gave a copy on Monday and
one in the Leeds Mercury, from which most of our
contemporaries of the following day extracted so much
as touched upon the matter in dispute. These, with
the exception of an abridged report, which appeared in
the Liverpool Advertiser, of the day of the election,
were, we believe, all the original reports published."
There is.an dage that certain worthies should
have long memories. In THE SUN of Wed-
nesday the 6th instant, we gave an original
report of Mr. HusiassoN's, speech, which we
.received exclusively by express. That report. the
New Times copied, on Thursday the 7th, from
the SUN, giving it a preference over that of their
own Peporter ! The Times on Thursday
morning had also an original report of Mr.
FILISkISSOIeS Teed', which agrees with our
report in every particular : so that here are two
original reports of the speech in the London Daily
Papers. The New Times does not, however, speak
quite positively—it expresses a belief—perhaps a
reference to its own file, may induce it to do us
and the Times justice—that is all we ask
We know that our exertions to give early
news are occasionally wormwood to those of our
contemporaries, -who do not, or who cannot, fol-,
low our example ;- but they should have the ge-
nerosity, at least, to 'appreciate that enterprise,
which they cannot hope to surpass—if they
have'the spirit to imitate.

`this bein,' Ash-Wednesday, is kept as a Holiday at
the Bank and both Stout Exchanges, the members of
which, and the jobber:,, have met as usual on the Royal
i
Exchange, but n diminished numbers. Such is the want
of interest at present attending the Funds, that the only
price which has been quoted for Consols-all the moruiug is
SSg but without a single transaction having been
effected.

The movement in the Foreign Funds has been attended
with still leis activity, and the few prices which have been
given are precisely those of yesterday. • Some inquiries
have been made relative to the 'news from Itio de Janeiro,
a vessel having arrived at Portsmouth, from Valparaiso,
which touched at that port, and sailed from thence en the
I3th Dec., a week later than the last accounts. Hitherto
we •have been unsuccessful in gaining any information of
the slightest importance ; and the letters by her, are, we un-
derstand, very limited in number, which may arise 'from
the circumstance of the packets from thence being about
sailing, two of which will become due to-morrow.

This was au action brought by the plaintiff as executrix
of her late husband, against the defendant, for the recovery
of thirteen pounds, due for the board and lodging of his
wife for twenty-six weeks in 1822. •
The plaintiff was the sister of Mrs. Emery, and had
Maintained her after she had been turned out of doors by
the detendant.

The LORD CIIIEI BARON, in summing up to the Jury,
said that the defendant would not be liable if he had turned
his wife off because she bad committed adultery, or because
he entertained a grave suspicion of her guilt, which subse.
quent circumstances had proved to be well founded.—.. Verdict
far ,the plaintiff.
