On the 18th ultimo, in the House of Lords, Lord
Brougham made long speech in support Of the fol-
lowing resolutions, viz:
"That by an act passed in the Parliament of
Canada, entitled An act TO provide for the indem-
MITIGATION of parties in Lower Canada, whose pro-
perty was destroyed during the rebellion in the
years 1887 and 1885,, no security is afforded against
compensation for losses sustained in the rebellion in
Canada in 1887 and 1888 being given persons en-
gagged in the said rebellion
THAT it is just and necessary, either by recon-
mending further and amending bill 10 the Legisa-
ture of Canada, or by such other means as may be
eectual, to provide security against any compensa-
ton for losses sustained in the said rebellion being
given to persons engaged in or having aided or
abetted the same.'
Earl Grey replied at considerable length and
| wound up by saying that, $50 far from its being
true, that if their lordships adopted this resolution
| they would throw oil on the troubled waves, and
produce calm on the excited ocean of Canadian
politics. it was his firm conviction that by passing
such resolution they would shake that confidence
which all parties cherished in the system of go
vernment now happily established there, and lead
them suppose that they moi to be allowed to
| deal in manner which should be satisfactory to
themselves, with matters of domestic and internal
concern. His conviction was, that to come to such
a decision would be dangerous blow to the Sc
curity of the Canadian government II was on
those grounds that he trusted their lordships would
concur with him in refusing assent to the reso-
luton Of the noble and learned lord"

Izod O'Doherty. Soon after body of mounted
police arrived accompanied by the black cart, or

his cell to bid farewell to his fellow prisoners, per-

turning away from the door, which closed again on

IMsuRREcrIoN AT LYoNs.-On the same day with
the instruction in Paris to wit, June l3h agita
ton began to prevail at Lyons, and issued on tho
18th in a formidable instruction. The movement
seems intended TO have been general Throughout
France. IL has, however, been signally defeated
letter from Paris, Of June 18th, which we find in
the London Times, gives the following particulars
of the Lyons outbreak:
The instruction began by the detection of pos
Of from $50 to 300 men Of the 18th Light Infantry
who had been on guard at the Veterinary School
The conspirators distributed wine and brandy
amongst them, made them drunk, and then tried "a
convince them that the government had been over
thrown in Paris, &c. In the morning of the 18th
500 or GOO of the insurgents presented themselves
at the military post surrounded and easily disarmed
them. A portion Of them afterwards joined the in
surgents with the pupils Of the Veterinary School
The other portion Of the post who had been dis
armed by superior force, but who refused to ioir
the insurgents, actually wept with rage at the lnfa
nous deception practised on them. The 17tl
regiment insisted on being led first To the attack "a
wash away in the blood of the traitor and the rebel
the stain thus flung on the honor OF gallant corps
by the voluntary or involuntary desertion OF some
OF It's members, and they were the first 10 present
themselves to the enemy. The dsarmed soldiers

with enthusiasm against the rebels. Three Of thos,

The stain was efaced.
, The 18th suffered considerably; but il has &C
quired right to the lasting gratitude Of the peopi
of Lyons.
The whole Of the regiments engaged conducts

"They have taken us for Socialists eh bien W
