with great vigour, and will, in a short period„
command every road leading to the capital.
The short speeches made by Sir R. PEEL and
Lord JOHN RUSSELL at Guildhall, seem to have
excited some interest in Paris. The Govern-
ment paper, the Journal des Debats, gives an
account of the proceedings without any com-
ment. The Courrier Francais comments on
them with some severity, and takes especial care
to attack Lord PA LME RSTON and theta hips, and the
Minister of the " Foreigner." "Sir R. PEEL,"
says that journal, " spoke first, and with infinite
address. His discourse is a political programme
in a few words. In the first rank he places peace,
and dwells upon the necessity for cultivating the,
benefits of it, not at any price,' not 'everywhere
and always,' like M. G U IZOT, but so long as it
shall be compatible with the interests and the
honour of the country. Sir R. PEEL declares
himself equally disposed to preserve unstained
the glory of the British arms, but with this re-
serve, that an appeal- to arms must become
indispensable before the Government resort to
that extremity. The Minister proposes to
encourage the demand for labour by ex-
tending the commercial relations of Great
Britain. In this respect, we fear the task
is above his strength. How, in fact, can
England increase the number of consumers
of heeproduce, if she will not consent to con-
sume the corn, wine, fruit, and cattle which
foreign producers, will send her, whenever. the
English aristocracy shall permit them? No
trade—that is to say„no safety—for England,
w;thout a free trade in corn. In fine, Sir ROBERT
PEEL declares that his object is to maintain
public credit, as well as that reputation for good
faith which a nation can never lose without see-
ing her moral forte and her greatness diminish.
The Minister, apparently through politeness to
the guests, or through respect for the national
vanity, did not call things by their proper names.
The question is no longer to maintain the re'pu-
tation of the British Government for good faith.
The Minister must now labour to re-establish it, for
the perfidious conduct of Lo-d PA LMERSTON, with
regard to an ally such as France, has certainly di-
minished it. Sir R. PEEL, in his speech, put for-
ward the chances ofpeace in the first line by throw-
ing back the eventualities of war. Lord J. RUS-
SELL did the contrary, and as if he had the pre-
sentiment of some approaching conflict in Eu-
rope, it was upon warlike subjects he particu-
larly dwelt. Thus the Whigs still declare them-
selves the colleagues of Lord PALMERSTON.
The fatal' ascendancrof this man governs them
even after his Kill, as he governed them in
the Council Chamber. A sad example of the
extremity to which politicians can suffer them-
selves to be carried, when their character
wants firmness and their understanding ele-
vation. We do not fear to affirm that the speech
of Lord JOHN RUSSELL is that of a leader of a
party ivho does not expect to resume office for a
long time. If the Whigs had the least chance
of floating to the surface, they would flatter
more public opinion, which in England has
loudly declared itself for the maintenance of
peace. It is because they perceive the impsssi-
bility of arriving at power that they affect bad
humour, and indulge in sinister prognostications.
The effect of this language will be to consolidate
the Tory Ministry, but the Whig Ministers even
after their retreat will thus contribute to disturb
the peace of Europe, and compromise public
liberty."
The commercial 'treaty concluded between
Belgium and Spain, is another blow to the French
monopolists, and has been made evidently with a
view to- open their eyes, and, at the same time,
leave room for repentance, for it contains a pro-
viso by which it may cease before the term of
five years expire, if any great commercial ar-
rangement should be made with another Power.
The first article places the port dues and other
shipping charges in the respective countries on
the same footing, and the second modifies the
Spanish tariff on Belgian linen thread. In re-
turn for this favour, Belgium agrees to reduce
the duty on Spanish wines to the same scale as
that granted to French wines last. July, heinc,
half-a-franc for a hundred quarts, in wood. It
also reduces, by two-thirds, the duty on olive oil
and fruits of Spain ; and levies no duty on transit
of Spanish produce to Germany.

Admiral Sir Edward Codrington; G.C.M.G.,
will strike his flag as Commander-in-Chief at Ports-
mouth on the Bth or 10th of next month, and will be
succeeded by Admiral Sir Charles Rowley, G.C.B.
and G.C.H., who will hoist his flag on the following
morning.

MARRIAGE.—On Tuesday, the 15th, at Braunston,
Northamptonshire, by the Rev. J. Jenkins, Lieutenant
Henry Arnold, son of George Henry Arnold,
Esq., of Ashby Lodge, to Catherine, second daughter
of It. Lambe, Esq., of Bragborough, in the same
county.

WOOLWICH, Nov. 14.—The Dee, steam troop-
ship, Master Commander Thomas Driver (and not
Master Commander Thomas Laen, as was inadvert-
ently substituted in the last notice' of this vessel),
which left Woolwich on the Ist instant, with two com-
panies of the Royal Artillery for Barbadoes, reached
Falmouth, and sailed from that port on the
10th. for her destination. The Naval and
Military Gazette, of Saturday last contains the fol-
lowing under the head of Woolwich, Nov. 4:—
" This morning a Court,ma.l tial was held on board
the William and Mary Royal yacht, on a sailor of
the Dee steamer, for threatening to take the life of
one of the Lieutenants of that vessel. The prisoner was
found guilty, and sentenced to transportation for life."
The preceding paragraph is incorrect in every parti-
cular, the Dee having sailed from Woolwich three
days previous to the date given ; and it has been as•
certained from the most undoubted authority that no
Court-martial has been recently held on hoard of the
William and Mary royal 3-acht, or on board any other
vessel in the harbour of Woolwich. The Rhada-
manthus, steam troop-ship, Master Commander
Thomas Laen, is expected to sail from Woolwich
about the 27th inst., for the Mediterranean, and will
take out two companies of the Royal Artillery to
Corfu. Orders were received in the garrison last
night for the companies to hold themselves in readi-
ness for embarkation.
TIIE ARCHDUKE Or AUSTRIA.—His Imperial
Highness the Archduke of Austria, attended by his
suite, visited Beard's photographic portrait rooms, at
the Royal Polytechnic Institution on Monday, and
honoured Mr. Beard by sitting for his portrait. Se-
veral gentlemen of the suite also sat, and his Highness
expressed himself much pleased with the process, and
the accuracy of the likenesses.
The Marquis of Sligo, who has been alarmingly
indisposed at Westport House, is, we are happy to
hear, out of danger. His Lordship underwent a
painful operation on Thursday last, and his Lordship,
when his medical attendants left him, was doing as
well as possible.
ARNGASK CASTLE, N. B.—The Earl of Mansfield
has been entertaining a party of sporting noblemen
and gentlemen, who have had abundant sport. The
Earl, with Sir Thomas Moncrieffe, bagged 183
pheasants on the first day, the greatest number killed
in one day on any estate north of the Tweed, besides
274 head of hares and rabbits. On the estate of
Arngask the tenantry never complain of the injury
done to their crops, for the landlord always remune-
rates them for any loss sustained by the game, by
giving them a drawback on their rents.
