/ BIDS ITS DISCLOSURES.
| The following editorial paragraph, from the Lon
| don Morning Herald, ministerial paper, is consid-
cred 10 give the clue 70 hasty visit, made on
the Sd inst, by the Earl Of Clarendon to the EN-
peror Napoleon, at Boulogne:
1--WE have excellent authority says the Herald,
" for stating that the French Emperor has remon-
strated against the committee for inquiring into
the conduct of the war; and that he has said that,
in the event Of the committee continuing TO sit,
the armies Of the two nations cannot act together
although they may act for the same object. In
order, therefore, TO satisfy Louis Napoleon, with
out affronting the English people, dissolution Of
Parliament win, II is stated on the authority we
alluded TO, take place almost Immediately"
Whether or not the matter referred TO IN the
above paragraph was the subject Of conference, the
Earl Of Clarendon accompanied only by his private
secretary went over, on Saturday, the Sd instant,
by express steamer to Boulogne Lord Convey,
British minister at Paris, having been telegraphed
to meet him, and both had long private inter
view with the Emperor. Next morning Clarendon
returned TO Dover, and took a special train for
| London.
The proceedings In Parliament had been volum-
nous. The chief subjects ofinterest were the Earl
Of Lucan's explanations, In the Lords, and dis
| cussion In the Commons, on the conduct OF Sir
Charles Napier Lord Lucan has been refused a
courtmsrtia and to all appearance, Is an ill-used
man. The affair Of Napier was introduced In the
form Of motion, by Mr.. Mains, for the produc-
ton Of correspondence. This allowed the whole
subject Of Napiers complaints and wrongs TO be
discussed, after which, the motion was Withdrawn.
The newspaper stamp duty was also discussed in
| the House Of Commons.
Mr.. Roebuck's committee Of inquiry into the
management Of the war had held several meetings.
The Duke Of Cambridge, Lord Cardigan, Lucan,
and Hardinge were cited 10 give evidence. Mr..
Layard, General De Lacy Evans, Mr. Dundas, NJ.
/ p, and others had been examined
| Whether the proceedings should be secret or
open was the subject Of an animated debate in the
Commons.
The relative advantages OF an open or secret in
vestigation were briefly discussed by Mr.. Drum
mond, Mr.. Napier, Sir H. wiiloughby, and Mr..
Bowyer. Ultimately Mr.. Roebuck yielded 10 the
evident wish Of the house, and withdrew his mo-
ton for secret investigation, rccspnating at the
same time the reasons which led hlm 10 believe
| that q close committee would have been best
