SCANDALOUS PUBLICATION.
Earl Grey rose to call the attention oil
their Lordships to a publication which had
been put into his hands, the atrocious nature
oi which no words he was master of could
adequately describe. He found it i'm a
French paper published in this country, aud
which he understood had considerable cir
culation on the Continent. The passage he

Anti Galllcan Monitor) which had never

and tendency OF that extract which l.e now
wished To animadvert. The Noble Earl hen
read the passage, in which were enume rated

Marquis Wellesley perfectly concurred in
the svntlments>so justly expressed by the
Noble Earl. and thanked him for directing
the attention of his Majesty's Ministers to
the publication. He hoped it would not be
