Raie Lord paImelston stated preference to the ar

charge Of employing agents for the enlistment Of
troo,s that there had been great deal Of correspond
ence with the Prnssian government on the subject
The King Of Prussia, as matter of courtesy towards
I her Majestys government, had pardoned the Consul
and as the transaction had ended satisfactorily to both
governments, he did not think twonld be expedient
to publish the correspondence, No communication
had been made blythe authorities the Hanse Town
with reference to the subject Of enlistment The gov

Last night Lord Lyndhurst tested the strength of
Ministers in the House Of Lords, on the questonofa
peerage for life. The learned lord proposed TO refer
the matter to q committee but Ministers, knowing
what the result would be in that case, opposed me
motion, and took the sense of the House. Inc dlFi

military education, and with nothing extraordinary to
recommend them beyond gentle breeding and the
spirit and courage innate in most Englshmen. An ad
mixture Of experienced and practical soldiers raised
