Lord PALMERSTON concluded by observing, that in his
opinion it was the best and cheapest way for providing
against the future, and he was surprised that the
Irish and Scot.;h were not to be provided for in the
measure.—Lord J. RUSSELL said, the omission of Scot-
land and Ireland was occasioned merely by the confusion
which would necessarily arise by introducing them in the
measure, and not by any distrust of the loyalty of the
inhabitants. Separate measures would be proposed in
their eases.—Mr. B. OSBORNE, Sir G. GREY,. Captain
SCOBELL, Mr. ANSTEY, and many other hon. members,
afterwards spoke on the question, the general feeling of
the house appearing to be strongly in favour of the
ministerial proposal.—The motion was then agreed to.

RUMOURED PLOT.
The Pays affirms that the Spanish authorities in tilt

The Queen of Spain has addressed the following- sae
graph letter to the President of the Council of Ministersrt
" Prostrated. before Divine Providence to thank it for ivd.
signal protection and infinite favours, my heart is movr'
at the demonstrations of affection and devotedness which.
I receive every instant from my subjects. Those demon',
strations, however, might be centred in an object interim"
to serve as a permanent symbol of the religious and dia.
ritable character of Spaniards. To that effect, it is mf
desire that the Government should take the initiative an,
open a voluntary subscription, the proceeds of which shaP
be applied to the construction of one or more hospital
in commemoration of the birth of my most beloved
daughter, and of my reappearance before my people, afterthe blessings recently conferred upon nee by the Almlosl'

sons given over as a lawful spoil to the Romish priesthood.
In February, 1848, she saw all her household gods shi-
vered on her hearth, and was the only member of the
house of Orleans whose conduct can be mentioned with
eulogy, for, armed with a mother's love, and the sacred
lEgis of maternal tenderness. she braved the fury of the
frantic mob, and dared to claim her son's inheritance,
whilst the gallant Princes of the house of Orleans, like
Sir John Cope, at Dunbar, were endeavouring to retain
their ' hail skin,' and when they were asked where they
had left their wives and children,
'Faith, said he, I dinna ken,
For I lett them a' in the mornin'.'
The exiled Princes have done much by their decent de-
meanour in adversity to retrieve their characters, nor is
this a proper moment to reproach them for their pusillani-
mity ; but when reference is made to the high-minded,
gallant, chivalrous Duchess of Orleans, it behoves the
journalist to mark the contrast of her conduct with that of
the male members of her house."

ARRIVAL OF THE ARCTIC.
The American mail steamer Arctic, Luce commtindett
after the most rapid passage on record—namely, 9 dal°
174. hours—entered the Mersey at ten o'clock on Tile;
day morning, bringing sixty-two passengers, the usun,

The steam-ship Niagara. after a tempestuous run
nearly 21 days, reached New York on the 7th. The
Humboldt also entered the same port from Southampton,

The Europa, from Liverpool, with the mails of the
24th ult., arrived at Halifax on the 6th inst., having a-
perienced boisterous weather, and a succession of strong
bead winds.

The general intelligence by this arrival is not of mile,ll
importance. From Washington we learn that no define'
tive action has yet been had in either branch of Conerese;
with regard'to allowing extta compensation to the Collins
line of steamers. It is probable. however. that Conerese
will eventually throw out the propositions for the estab'
lishment of the Galway and Ebony lines, and afford the
means of keeping up the Collins' line, which is alreadi
established.

seducing the army from its allegiance, and sowing the
seeds of discord and disaffection among the people. If I
am well informed, reports are daily submitted to Louis
Napoleon himself of the proceedings of these I:ggents. It
will be remembered that it was the Catholic party that in
1831 was the principal means of separating Belgium from
Holland. It is that same party which is now the most
active in getting up a feeling in favour of the French alli-
ance, and the clergy are almost all indefatigable agents of
the Elysee."
Belgium is adding 4,000 men to the army, and strength-
