.LoRn PALmERsroN's LAST MEmoRANDuM.--
An attempt is made by the Courier francaiS
to depreclate the merit of Lord Palmerston's let
ter by deserving that he tojls forty days to pre-
pare it; but herein fact is It's great merit Lord
Palmerston did not like NJ. Filters, immediate
ly after the signing Of the treaty, illuminate me-
naces against France because she hesitated to
adopt it. He did not insultrngly proclaim the
power of the allies to enforce ii but he calAly
ondeayored, eTen in the midst of menace and
personal provocation, to bring the French gov
eminent to reason, and after forty days renec-
ton sent forth an erp0Se of his views, and de-
fence of his conduct, which is the more conclu-
siVe because it was written in the absence OF
passion, and with the confirmed intention of
avoiding, il possible, all ground OF irritation
Well would it have been for the reputation of
Nj. Theirs, and the honor and finances of France
if he also had taken forty days to reflect on his
official declarations; if instead of arming he had
negotiated, and i'll lieu of menace had resorted
to persuasion. The Courier Francois may jeer
Lord Palmerston for his calmness; but shall be
most surprised if the Chambers, when they meet,
do not give him credit for his forbearancs At
any rata they must admit that he is not the ee,-
0edit 6r,de which the ministerial and official pa
pers declared him to be, and which they had
even the falsehood to say he was considered to
be by the French Monarch. ..s.i.s
will not 60 SO far as to say that the docu-
ment in question will have here all the success
that it dcserv to have; but will assert that it
will open the eyes OF many, well-meaning but
deluded persons What the final result NAV be,
God only knows. Even the French admit that
concession now can hardly be expected from the
four Powers, for statesmen are but men, and few
men who respect themselves are incliaedto yield
to menace. The French government have be-
gun where they should have ended; they have
appealed to physical force when they should have
resorted to reason-they have excited the pas
sions when they should have addressed them
selves to the understanding.-P C01TeSpoHs-

Lord Palmerston expressly states that it was
adnsitted last year by the French Government that
such an arrangement as the Powers nave now
adopted tsrould undoubtedly be the best, II there
were the means to carry it into effect; bat that
Mehemet Ali would resist 1t, and that any mea-
sures of force which the allies might employ to
compel him to yield would produce consequences
which would be more dangerous to the peace oil
Europe and to the independence OF the Porte,
than the present state of things between the Sui
tanand Mehemet Ali could be. Bat though the
French Government thus declined to agree 70
the British plan, yet for considerable time az.
forwards it had no plan OF its own to propose
