= LONDON, Sept. l5.-lt is generally looked on
in the city that the Lord Chancellor's speech
last night is very pacific, and IN corrobation OF
which, the, private Information from hlgh quar-
ter at Paris, which has seldom failed giving US
the best and prior intelligence, states that the
next deliberations Of the Great Powers VIII De
for the disbanding Of their armies. and each pow
or is 20 disband certain number OF men every
month. In regard to Poland, negociatons are III
an advanced state, land expected to enc iavoraD'y.
We also understand, that the Duke OF orleans,
after having received dispatches from has father'
the King Of the French, has proposed 10 hing
Leopold his sister in marriage.
The following extract from the speech OF the
Lord Chancellor in the House of Peers on the
f4,h Sept. is strongly indicative OF the pacific
intentions of the present British Ministry.
But far worse was the complaint he had to
MAKE of these speeches of the Noble Marquis Tor
Londonderry He and some OF those he acted
with we're constantly using topics OF Irritation
towards France, aud doing all they could to plum
oe ms into war; it seemed their whole object and
Their ruling desire Was member to be select
ed for attack point Of onset to be chosen:-
Friendly disposition to France was the chosen
theme of abuse Was charge to be pointed,
and rendered more fatal than all the rest' The
disposition 70 concilita,e our great and powerful
neighbour was always the burden OF the accusa-
ton Now ia this country 1t might SIGNIFY less,
where the disposition OF the Parliament and peo-
ME. aud the weight Of the Noble Lords authori-
H. ., hat hayl ntr
more honour out OF his own country, his language
WAS in France believed to be of far more serl-
ous Importance. Men saw q noble person OF high
rank and connection, frequently addressing the
U,use. and ALWAYS 10 the same point OF invective,
irritation, and hostility.
The Noble Lord too, was leader ct the OPP
position party III that House, and 1t was thought
he smoke the sentiments of his followers. lie,
,he Lord Chancellor, as much as any man, alb
horred all ideas Of base trucking or SUBMISSION
10 France, or to any Foreign Power. But ne
saw no spirit Of aggression there: he was reloiced
to see spirit Of peace and friendship prevail, ana
he deemed it his most sacred duty to meet II IN
the cordial feeling of mutual good will. France
and Enplsnd friends, can preserve the peace of
the world Hear Let France he irritated IN
to warlike courses. and the whole human race Is
cursed with war. That it would be popular IN
the House and in the country to break the peace,
..amed tbe n,tion of some Noble Lords, but it
was none of his. On the contrary, he believed
tbe Minister who rushed heediessy into war,
would suddenly forfeit his popularity, as he as
suredly deserved to lose his head. Hear, hear.
He could assure their Lordships, that the spec
ches in that House alarmed all our f:ienuS III
France, and they were the best friends OF peace:
He could read private letters, as wei as oi,c'a'
on,s. to prove the effect daily produced by those
n d,sc th0sp IL
our neighbors and their rulers.
He was anxious to lift up his voice inssoiemn
urutestatio6 against such perilous topics. lie
n,terlv denied that thuse who bore their needless
n,rt in them, spoke the sentiments OF any portion
IF the British PEOPLE He should not regret the
trouble he had now taken and gwen to their LORD
,hips if it gave him the occasion he cheerfntly
,c;zeJ. TO utter this declaration nthe face OF Far
lament and the country. He desired it might
90 on his authority and on his responsibility, to
France. wherehe knew it would carry comfort TO
all true friends of France and England, and
neace. for they were the same party aud the same
persons. Hear. hear.l 1t was with unorokeu
Comfort and unspeakable delight that he pro-
nounceJ the proposition, and alike interesting to
the couptry he belonged to, and the crown ne
served and served all the more faithfully tor pro-
claiming this truth-that the Minister who plung-
cd the country into war would be overwhelmed
with the loud, universal, unsparing execrat'on OF
the whole English, Scotch and Irish people;
hut that execration, he AIDED for himself, would
not be more loud, nor more universal, nor more
unsparing, than such madness and such wicked,
ness well deserved from the whole OF that united
peopie.-(Cheers.)
