desired to stop short-they shrank from
the conclusions, to which, nevertheless,
their promises in arguing the reform
question, necessarily tended; and thus,
having done loossnuch to retain the con-
lfdencc Of Tories, they forfeited, by not
doing enough, the confidence of the
lWhigs--for so we designate that great
class, constituting the active and substan-
tial portion of the nation, which. alike
removed from ultra toryism and ultra
radio ,lism, feel that the time has come
for the recovery and full possession of
their equal rights as citizens.
The Inconvenience, not to say the
meanness, OF such position, was strik-
lingly manifested by the proceedings on
the Irish Church reform bill, of which
a most important principle was struck
out, avowedly because if retained the
the Lords would not pass the bill. We
gave yesterday a sketch Of this debate,
and to-day publish an article from the
i London Times, of gath, commenting up
on the fatal weakness OF such temper
Using policy. The King will not assist
that OF ''swamping," as we see it ex-
pressed in a London paper, the majority
|, of the Conservative Peers, by new Gre
alton; for though it seems to be admit
5 ted that he had through the Archbishop
S of Canterbury admonished the Bishops
! of their danger in opposing ministerial
measures, the influence on the Kings
e mind of the Queen, operated upon by a
: Tory clique, of the Duke of Cumberland
: and the Duke of Wellington, backed per-
= haps by the real reluctance of Lord Grey
70 swamp" his own order, effectually
e counteracts the only plan by which the
h House of Lords can be made to harmo-
: nize with the Commons and the nation.
II This sort of quasi authority in Minis
oitry cannot, we should think, last long:
e and even while it does, exposes it to be
t lightly considered by other nations.
c The annunciation by the French Min
" / stry of their purpose to retain and colo
+ nize Algiers had; it will be seen by oul
t further foreign extracts to-day, led to q
y discussion in the House Of Lords, init
mating that such decision as in con
y tradiction with previous assurances from
Louis Philippe himself, as well as his
Ministers. IT so, it only proves that di
. plomatic assurances a enot always to bt
relied on; bnt surely England, holding
3 in the Mediterranean Gibraltar, Malta
v and the Ionian Islands, is precluded from
!, any right to tax France with spirit o.
e ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, in holding Algiers.-
: If too she should determine, as is per
;, haps not impossible, to hold Ancona al
:. SO, and thus have check upon the Aus
= trians in Italy, it would put the Govern
o ment Of Louis Philippe in a position tc
i speak with increased effect upon all Eu
o ropean questions, except that Of Russia's
s. aims upon Turkey, which could hardly
e be very loudly blamed, or consistently
e opposed,by the possessors ofAncona and

IS Treaty aUith the United Staies.
t.. M. Benjamin Delvesert said tina
Ii he was charged by the committee, an,
IN instructed with the examination of til
v bill, relating to the United States, to ex
IS press its regret that the late period OF tn
W session at which the bill had been pre-
To sented, and the numerous importail
ic points in the examination, rendered
&c impossible to make the report this scs
sion; but the committee was most am
re ious that treaty should be terminate
S! which preserved the commercial reatio
80 so highly impotant to the interests {
30 such old allies as France and the Unite
tie States.
Mt Gen. Lafayette agreed with all that a
ic fallen from the Hon. Deputy, and expire
an sed his firm conviction that when tn
VS. chamber had examined the question,
a would see that the interests of Franc
" were involved in the full execution OF ii
nd treaty.
err The Minister of Foreign Affairs sal
e, that the Government was most anxiou
,g for the immediate discussion and ado
re ton of the treaty. The delay in presel
H. ting the bill to the Chamber arose fro
ne the difficulty in collecting all the doc

of treaty in which final adjustment vi
,sc made OF tranactions extending over p
on Rod Of more than twenty years. Eve
he now some Of these documents had n
he come over from America, but he hop,
