Great Britain.
Parliament was in session. On the LIST the
House of Commons, after transacting some
tormalities, adjourned to the 18th.
In the House of Lords, Derby made his in
augural ministerial speech, giving an insight
into his intended policy. After stating the
grounds upon which he had undertaken the
office, and the difficulties which beset him, he
glanced at the state of the army, with refer
ence to the Indian war, and said there was
yet most respectable numerical force re-
naming within the United Kingdom. He
had no doubt the exertions of Sir Colin
Campbell and the troops under his command,
would lead to a successful result, and when
the mutiny was fully suppressed 1t would be
the duty of government to undertake the task
of pacitying and tranquilizing the empire.
He then referred to the Chinese war, and
expressed satisfaction, Notwithstanding he
condemned the cause of the war, at the sue.
cess which had attended British arms and
added that now Canton had fallen, it would
be the duty of government to make, with
the least possible delay, a safe and honorable
peace, so that commerce between England
and China might be re- established.
He then adverted to the relations with
France and urged the necessity oil remaining
on friendly terms He insisted OH the i'm
portance to France and Europe of the preser-
walton of the Emperor's life, and Indignantly
denounced the atrocious attempt at his assas-
snation. He made great allowance for the
indignation betrayed by the French people
nevertheless, he did not believe that address
es from the French colonies gave true rep
resentation of the feeling of the French army.
From what he knew of the Emperor, he felt
satisfied it was his sincere wish to keep on
terms of amity with England.
The Foreign Secretary, Lord Malmesbury,
was preparing reply to Count Walewski's
dispatch, which he believed would satisfy
public feeling, and there was nothing in Mr..
Miner Gibson's resolution which would pre-
vent the government from proceeding with
the conspiracy bill, although further action
would depend on the reply from France to
Lord MaImeSbury's dispatch. With regard
to the policy of the government, it was i'm
possible, having been called to Office sudden
ly, and not at the commencement of the ses-
sion, to bring forward any programme now.
On the subject of the government of India
he thought the time not opportune for any
change, but in Difference to the vote of the
House of Commons he was prepared to yield,
and modified bill, as suggested by Lord Ell
lenborough, would be presented. In regard
to Parliamentary reform, his own opinion was
that no alteration was required, but he new
ertheess thought some modification and
amendment might be made to suit the con-
veniences and wants of the people. All he
could promise however was that during recess
government would earnestly direct their eff
forts to the preparation of bill which would
be introduced in the course Of the next SEES
sion.
In conclusion he expressed the hope that
when he retired from office, whether the pc.
Rod Tor which he held 1t was long or short,
he would not be found to have LETT the coun-
try in worse position than he found it.
Earls Granville and Clarendon defended
the late government, and the House djourn-
ed till the 18th of March.
Sir F. Thesiger assumed the Chancellorship
as Lord Chelmsford
Mr.. Blackburne declined the office of Irish
Chancellor, and the Hon. Joseph Napier was
appointed.
The papers are occupied in criticising Der
by's speech. The Times says it was all anti
cipated, and that so long as he does what
Palmerston would have done had he not for
feited his place by that one omission, he may
be tolerated, but the moment he shows a will
and game of his own, It is easy to see the
result.
The Morning Post urges that Derby takes
not only the position but policy. and not only
policy but the measures and sentiments Of
Palmerston, as an heir takes to an inherit
ance.
The Daily Ne,os describes Derby's policy
on the Conspiracy Bill and the Indian Bill
as " weak and temporizing," and adds that
ba nd cf 10
was that in which he refused to redeem the
outstanding pledge which each and all of his
three predecessors had given, on the subject
OF elective reform.

Stratford de Radcliffe has resigned the Am
bassadorship to Turkey
