save the brie ausions made the 10th and 18th the
departure Of the French ambassador.
In the Lordson the 10th, Lord Brougham called the at
enton Of the Marquis Of Lansdowns to the sudden de-
parture OF the French ambassador the anniversary of
her Maestys birthday, and hoped that no dminaion Of
the friendly feeling existing between England and France
was to be inferred from that occurrences.
The Marquis OF Lansdowne said that the departure OF
the French ambassador her Majesy's birthday was
ACCIDENTAL ana was 70 De referred entirely to the
desire Of the French government to have the benefit Of
hi spresence in Paris.
The Marquis Of Londonderry wished to know whether
made in this country between NJ Dioayn ds rHuys and
Viscount Pamerston He also wanted to know whether,
on the departure of Baron Gros from Athens, there
any communication 10 his departure made TO the Rus
minister at Athens before the OF hos
es against Greece, of which Russia be it recollected
was one OF the protectors.
The Marquis Of Lansdowne observed that il was not
at present desirable TO enter into further discussion
the subject Full information would be afforded when
the correspondence was laid before the House.
In the Commons, the same evening, Mr. Gibson wished
to ask the noble lord, the Secretary Of Foreign Affairs, ii
the Greek question could be settled ALSO as to whether
there existed good understanding between the govern
ments OF Great Britain and France to the mode in
which the settlement had been effected.
Lord Palmersion stated that the discussions between
the British and Greek governments had been 90 far set
tied that apprehension need be entertained that
merce would be molested: the only matter remaining
was the Investigation Of NJ. Paci6cos claims relating to
Portugal With respect 70 the question whether the good
mens had been interrupted by the mode in which the
Element had been effected his lordshp said Of the
bst the Ssvs
effected through their intervention Circumstances, how
ever had nteposed to prevent this mode of adjustment
taking place. but he trusted that nothing would arise
from this likely 10 disturb the friendly relations be.
tween the two governments.
In the Lords, the nth inst again Lord Brougham,
speech OF considerable length referred to the inter-
peations in the French Assembly He said that General
ahittes statement did not correspond with that made by
Lord Lansdowne on Thursday. II Appeared from it that
plantations in the French Assembly but because his Ion.
ger sojourn in London was incompatible with the dignity
OF the republic, after the conduct Of the British govern
ment Il might be an accident that the French ambas
sador left this country the Queens birthday, but
curious that the French charge daaes should also, by
accident be absent from the Foreign Secretarys banquet
over but he dreaded the effect OF such differences upon
the peace OF Europe.
The Marquis Of Lansdowne said that he had nothing
to retract from his previous statement When the French
ambassador left he had not presented to the Foreign Sec
rotary, or TO any member of the government his letter OF
recall. What explanation NJ. de rHuys might make to
his government he could not say, but he hoped they
would prevent any interruption to those friendly relations
which her Majestys government sincerely desired TO
no ss a. hone
OF the Queens birthday that he had not been in
vited
In the Commons, the same evening, Mr.. DIsael said :
II having been officially announced that the ambassador
OF the French republic had been recalled from the court
OF ST. James, and that that recall had been occasoned
by conduct upon the part OF her Maesiys government
supposed to be derogatoy TO the honor Of the French
diency Of frankly communicating the cause OF an incident
OF such grave importance. Hear, hear.
Lord John Russell said All that at present state
TO the honorable gentleman that General Lahitte, the
Minister for Foreign Affairs Of the French republic in
formed Lord Normandy that, in consequence of what he
considered the i'll treatment OF France by the government
OF this country, they had thought necessary to recall
seur de fhuys having been sent here in order settle
the affairs OF Greece, and to come TO arrangement
with her Maesiys government upon that subject and
his mission having terminated, and his endeavors having
failed, was natural the ambassador sent-for that special
purpose should be recalled That is the only statement,
at present make; and will only add, that regret
this feeling should exist the part OF the French gov
ernment because feel confident that the part OF her
Majesys government there has been every wish to lis
ten to their representations with regard to the affairs oil
Greece and we hoped that the mission OF Mons. Drouyn
de lHuys would have been successful We were ready
give every facility 10 bringing the affair OF Greece to
conclusion, by OF the good Offices OF France and
my belief is that il Baron Gros had not or what reason
cannot imagne,) upon the 23d OF April, given up his
MISSION this Misunderstanding would not have occurred
