British House of Commons OF the bin pro-
posed BY the Ministry against conspirators
of murder, seem TO have given renewed
strength to that strangeA Anglo French alliance.
which. already shaken by the differences OF
au; MON of the English and French Cabinets
rst,t;ye to the organization Of the Danublan
Personalities and the construction of canal
throagh the Isthmus of Suez, had seemed to
have received still more sensible shock
from the publication of the addresses OF some i
French regiments to the Emperor against
the countries that give refuge to assassins.
The notification Of these threatening address /
ses in the Mcnstenr, the French official jour.
nal, caused great excitement in England
and the success Of the bill proposed BY Lord
palmerston would have been seriously en-
dangered, had not the Emperor. in eonse-
uuence of information as to the feeling IN
England furnished him in an oticial COM
manication BY Lord Cowley, expressed to
Lord Clarendon his regrets at the insertion
in the Moniteur of anything Offensive to the
English, with the assurance that such inser-
ton had proceeded from the lnadyertence OF
the editor of that journal.
Such are the explanations on this subject
given by Lord Granville TO the House of
Commons. Still, though bnth parties seemed
satisfied. Lord Palmerston's bill was strongly
opposed by the Radicals and even by some
Conservatives. Lord John Russell attacked
its principle Mr.. Roebuck represented it
"as an act Of shameful servility toward
France;o and MIR. kinglake asked an adj
joarnment, in order that the measure might
not have an air Of humble Welding to the dis
~ nd
seemed to him humiliating.
The majority in favor Of the reception and
consideration of the bill was probably in
duced by the fact that il limits itself TO an
increase Of the penalties imposed for con-
spiracies TO assassinate, which being hitherto
considered only misdemeanors in England,
we're only punishable with fine and imprIson-
ment for short period, while hereafter they
will be regarded a. crimes, and will be pun
ished with minimum Imprisonment for hive
years, or maximum Imprisonment for life,
or Imprisonment with hard labor for three
wears. This law will apply both to British
subjects and foreigners taking part in any
such criminal undertaking, either in England
or any foreign country. But Lord Palmer
ston has declared that they are mistaken who
think that Parliament will take such mea-
sures as to compel the Government to drive
foreigners out of the kingdom on mere sus-
picion. There are cases, he said in Parlia-
ment, in which men who conceive criminal
designs, might, with advantage, be removed
from the country; but, at the same time,
law giving Government this power to remove
would be so liable to abuse, and would so
conflict with the general principle by virtue
of which the kingdom IS open TO men OF all
nations, who, from political or other causes,
are obliged to seek refuge in it, and who,
while they conduct themselves peaceably IN
it, ought to enjoy its protection, that every
Eagiish Administration would hesitate long
before proposing such measure ; and be ex-
pressed the opinion that Parliament would be
as little disposed 10 adopt If. This declara-
ton was greeted with loud cheers from all
parties.
II seems doubtful whether this law will be
a. satisfactory to the French Government
The Pairie has expressed the opinion, in adj
vance, that this VIII prove an insufficient
guarantee, and has cited cases in which the
English Cabinet, in past years, did not hesi-
tate toexpel even ihoheHslye strangers, des-
p,te the pretended respect OF the country for
tae risst Of asylum. Ii says that General
Gourgaud aud the Count de Las Cases, after
their return from 81. Helena, were thus ex-
PEELED by Lord Castiereagh, as the Count de
Narbenne had been By Pitt. The Pays, on
It's part, has expressed the hope that the
English Government will adopt more efica-
cious measures, because one OF the eOnspira-
tors was British subject.
The penalties imposed BY Lord Palmer
f;on's bill are purely repressiye, while the
French Government demands preventive
measures. The onls measures vet taken are
restrictions on the delivery Of passports,
which the English Government will grant
hereafter only to is subjects. Each embas-
sador i to BE responsible for the subjects Of
