GREAT BRrrAIN.-In the House of Lords, on
the esd of March, the Marquis OF Clanrcarde
complained that the papers laid before Parliament
with respect to Portugal and the affair at Iercei-
"a were very imperfect, and moved a string OF
resolutions strongly condemnatory OF the con,
duct of the Government, particularly with regard
10 the attack on the refugees who left Plymouth
for Terceira-A very long debate ensued: the
Earl of Radnor, Lord Holland, Lord Goderlch
and the Earl of CarnarvOn supported the mouon'
and the Earl of Aberdeen, the Duke OF Yelling
ton and the Lord Chancellor opposed it, and con-
tended that the conduct of the government had
been perfectly fair and impartial. The Earl of
Aberdeen, in the course of his speech, said that
we had displeased both parties in the disputes
with regard to the Portuguese succession, and
quoted this as an evidence of impartiality. The
Duke of Wellington towards the close OF his add
dress described the strength and Importance OF
Tercera, and said that now,that the government OF
Brazil and Portugal had been separated-it was
the policy of this country not to allow Don Pc
dro to become possessed of Terceira. 1t was
likewise of Importance that no part of the ancient
dominions of Portugal, should fall into the hands
of the emperor of BraZils On division the
numbers, for the motion S9-agalnstit l27-ma-
jority 90.
The debate on the distress of the country, was
resumed in the House Of Commons on the same
night, when Mr.. O'Connell succeeded in deliver
ing the speech to which he endavored to give ut
terance on the 10th. After a long debate, the
motion for an inquiry was voted down, 255 to 81
Majority for ministers, l6e.
Meetings continue to be held in various parts
of England on the state ofthe country. In Leeds
Mr.. J. Foster of the Leeds Patriot, proposed a
resolution in favor of the triennial parliaments,
universal suffrage and vote by ballot.
The society of friends in Ireland have pet-
toned Parliament for the abolition OF the punish
ment of death in cases of forgery. Mr.. Peel
has announced his intention to bring in bill in
which the punishment Of death In many cases OF
forgery, was done away with.
s.Some Nobemen and Gentlemen of property
and influence had an interview ON Saturday NOR
ming with the Duke of Wellington and the Chan
U
ton of .County bank of England, which has
been projected by them as likely to assist in re-
lievng the distresses of the country. 1t is meant
that the establishment shall be hxedin London as
its head quarters and from thence set on foot new
branch banks in various parts of the country
The result of the interview has not yet TRANSFERRED
The following gentlemen composed the deputa-
ton to the Duke of Wellington, viZ:-the Earl
of Darnley, Lord Althrop, MIR. Spring Rice,
Sir Thomas Lethbridge, Sir Henry Parnell, the
Hon. Mr.. Liddell, Mr.. Tennyson, Sir E.
Knatchbull, and Mr.. Joplin"
The above article. which we copy from a
Morning Paper, gives, we believe, pretty accu-
ratey, the views of the parties who, as it is stat
ed, had an interview with the Duke of yelling
ton on Saturday last. The immediate purpose
of the Deputation was to convey to the First Lord
of the Treasury the opinion, that an improvement
in the Country Banking System was desirable at
the present moment-that the best mode of car
rying it into effect wassby means Of Metropoli-
tan Establishment-and that to facilitate the for
nation of such a Company, some alterations in
the Act passed in 1896 were desirable. The
answer which the party received was, we believe,
in substance, that the Government had the sub
ject already under consideration; but as it in
volved other great interests, all that the Minis
tiers could then say was, that the opinions and
wishes which it was the object of the deputation
TO convey, should receive the best attention of

STATE OF PARTIES IN FRANCE.
The following article, from the London Courier
of March as, will refresh the recollection of the
reader as to the alternate triumphs and defeats
OF the respective parties in France since the ter
mnatlon of the hundred days occupancy of the
throne BY Napoleon. twill also assist in form
ing a just opinion Of the actual state of parties
in that feverish country at the present moment:
The recent conduct of the Chamber of Depu-
ties in France IS so remarkable and indicates tie
existence of so serious difference between the
opposing parties, that to understand it thoroughly
requires reference to events Of remote date
to the causes, the concomitants. and the conse-
quences of the Revolution. So great convul-
sion-so general an overthrow of the property,
the prospects, and in many cases of the lives of
thousands and tens of thousands, could not fail
to lay the foundation of great and general divi-
