But it was considered not only b> the ata>fsm?n of Cngland and 1 ranee, but by the f mperer of the French, in L?e inter Tie* whtch he had llie btaor of having with hlm%nd by some of the lend ing itatcrnen of the continent ef Kurope, whose great ?*pe?ienes and ability gave to the r opinions the ainslest authority. Whatever might h*ve been the position of Rgssin. that would not have justified them in making w?r upon Russia, but being at war with Rui r'a that porit on became one of the moat serious for their consideration. (Hear.) Russia had Increased her pewer moiethsn any other country in Europe since the ermmencr ment cf toe eentury. ("No, no," and hoar. ) She bail <50,000,000 of inhabitants, an* an army of fiOi'.OOO men in t'me of peace After a considerable strag gle anc much resistance on the part of Lord Oaatlerea^h and Prince Talleyrand, Russia was allowed to acquire and retcin herpowerover Polaud, witn the limitation, however, that Poland waa to have c separate eon-titu lion and a separate army, wh-ch would give her a iial or c?t tonal existence. But that condition wae broksn tbroogli. and new fetters of iron bound her to RuesU efter tte insurrection of 1831 Since then Russia had erected In Poland six or seven fortresses o' at least equal strergtb to that of Sebastopol. bue conciliated the veattntry by a policy well adapted for that purpose whilst at the samo time t^e young m*n of Poland, who full ot patriotic ardor and recollections, mtgut one <J?y rise to a?sert the freedom of their country , wore carefully lelected and sent into the interior and distant provinces of Russia, where they met with no sy apathy, where their fate wan unfcnora, and where they re mained forgotten bv all except the relatives from whom they were taken. (Hear, hear.) In the Baltic, Russi* was preparing a great pfcin of fort motions, which were tnknown till Sir C. Napier sent home a plan of them. These fortiaeations, when completed, would have given Russia entiie predominance ovtr the Baltic, ao tnat neither Denmark nor Sweden, nor any ?fn'* power, could have held up a finger against her in that saa. (Hear, bear.) In (Jermany she was oonneetej with many of the rmal' princes of that country by marri*ge?. Many of the German States, he was sorry to say, lived in /ear of revolutionary principles, and depended on tbtir armies alone for protection. (Hear.) Many of tho officers cf these armies were ted a cert by the Russian court, which spread rewards and orders among *t them, and even paid their debts in some casea. (Hear, near.) That Germany, which should be the se*t ef ln epsn dtnee. and whi."h suonld stand forward the flrst to pro tect Europe against the encroachments of Russia, was undermined in its rital strengih and its nationU m de P?tn5??c?, hi the arts ana contrlvanoes of Russia. (Hear.) He "had not yet spoken of the immediate dan ger with which they had to deal. It wa* this, that, af t*r a long course of violence and aggression, Turkey signed the treaty of Aflrianople, which gave new powers to Rusfcia, and confirmed old ones. The danger of that treaty was ably pointed out by Lord Aberdeen- But neither l ord Aberdeen nor the Duke of Wellington judged it rght? and he thought wisely ? :o go to war on ac count of the increase or power thus obtained by Russia. But now that war waa begun, it waa not for them to for tt the ltsscn which Lcrd Aberdeen had given and the ung er ? he had pointed out. Russia had great means of influence in Turkey? such means of Influence thai, if she used thean wisely and prudently, she might exercise a prt dominant coutiolin tlie councils of Constantinople. But, in an hour of imprudcnco? he will not say more cf the conduct of a sovereign who had since passed away ? the Sropcrtiv insisted upon what Turkey thought i> he a dt gradation, and occupied the provinces of Turkey to enforce his demand. Turkey resisted that degradation; and thinking, from he ofltors or support that she received from France and Great Britain, that she wculd bs suppor'ed in such a struggle, had resourse to tms in her defence. Lord Mtrat/ord de Redc;itTe, whom the House would allow to be well acquainted with this subject, had said, some time before, ,l I think tho tin.e has ccme when Turkey 's position must bfl entirely altered; either she w.H fall into a *tate of total depend ence upen Rofsia, or cls? she mnet get rid cf all those macacles and shackle 3 by which, for many roars p*V, she bas been fettered arid encumbered. " Well, that was the question, whether the allied goveruinentsshoul Heave her to be got completely under the sway of Russia, as a tubject, or whether thev should endeavor to raise her to sob ethic g higher than her present condition, as an inde p*udeiit State. The allied government choee the Utter p?t ot this alternative. It became them, therefore, flritly, to consider the immediate danger. That iTncaediate danger was warded off. The gallant defence of Kilistri* by tbe Turks would always be rememberad with praise and honor. That siege of Hilistria, however, would hive been renewed; snd had it been, the result might h?v< bten as when the campa'gn of 1828 failed, and w.n re newed in 1W9. Tho siege of Silixtria failed; bat in the conrfe of the i.im? summir, or at some other titn*, the flege of Siliitria would have been renewed, and a greater force would have been brought against it. Well, the approach of the allies prevented that danger, and the Russians r* tired across the Danube Austria then i*id that oho could not permit Ro?sla to oscuov those Prin cipalities; all her leading men -aid it was impossible to aDow that occupation to onut'nuc; and she, therefore, for a partial interest? though he wished sh* had done it for a more gvreral interest ? said, that unless those two Principalities were evacuated she would try the fate ofarui?, and deciare war against Rus?ia. Upon her forces being assembled, Russia evaluated those Princi palities. Now, let it be observed, that it was because those l"rincipal'ties were thus p'aoed under the safe guard of Acstia, it was because any attempt to lnvail* Turkey, tD cross tha Balkan, and reach Constantinople, was thus prevented, that the allies feit themselves ena bled to send that expedition to the Crimea. Like his rght lion, friend, lie (Lord John Russell) persist*! in thinking that they were nght ia sending'that expedition, and like him he would rewerve the question for some fuinre period, when it might be matter for discussion. But this effect followed it? that, from the pressure at Sebastoool, the Russian fleet h*d been, a great part cf it, funk by the Russian authorities themselves. Th* Russians themselves had diminished that fleet: and it was no longer a fleet of eighteen or twenty sail of the line which menaced Constantinople, and showed oon itantly a perpetual threat to Turkey. The question lay thus upon that third point, how the allien coull dimin ish ber power, and put an end to her preponderance in the Black Hea. He (Lord John Russell) confessed that be was not at all aehamed of the manner in which he agreed with Co int Buol to Invite the Ruesian plenipo tentiaries to 'ak?j the initiative on that question. Count Buol represented to him, and, he be levod, reprfcsente-1 alto to the Russian plenipotentiary, before it was brought forwsrd in the conference, that it would be huitful to the dignity of Russia to have esrtain terms inr posed upon her for the limitation of her power, but that. In consideration of the security of Kuropc, she might make a prot oeition herself to that effect--} hat the might make that proposition to Turkey; and lie Coaut Buol) asked the plenipotentiaries of Prance and Egland uot to bring forward a proposition until h? 1 thould have made that propoeal. Count Buol mide that proposal, and he (Lord John Russell) oertainly followed it up with those words, "That In the eyes of Fngland and her alliee (.since he was an?wer.ng foe England, and not for Russia, as the right hoaorablt gentleman supposed) tt* b-vt and only adtnlssl ile oon cttions of p*a>'? would be those whieh ahoild, c in sistently wl b the honor of Kassia, and in harmoay with the interests of Europo, prevent the return of complications such as that which ha J lei to the present contest." And he wished now to ask. provided the security of Europe were obtained ? provided th?t the return of what were called "complications," the re turn of dreadful wn:s in fact, should be prevented? ?as it not desirable that the terms should be compitlbto with the honor of Russia, and that Rnssla should bs satisfied with the t?rms agr?ed to? Therefore, he wai quite willing, and he believed bis eolleagaes were, to abids by the dkclaratioo that he then made. The an swer of Rnssla was a long time in arrivlag, and it was unfortunate that the Russian plenipotentiaries were de sired not to make any proposal. The care taken of his navy bv tbc Kmpsror Nicholas was thought, by Rus sians cf great sagaotty and experienoe, to be An error, b?caus< Kiusla never could be made to cope with the maritin.e powers. What had been the uae of the fleet of eighteen or nineteen sail which Russia possossed in the Black Sea? No sooner did the fleets of the allies appear then it scuUed into Se bastopol. and a great part of it had been de stroyed by the Russians themselves. It was there fore no naurity to Ruseia, but ooe of the persons to whom ho (l<ord J. Russell) had alludC'l. said to him ihst, if Russia objected to diminish that fleet, it would be a proof that Russia Intended aggression lis ( 1-onl J. RusselO thought tint observation wai perfeotly just; and ho believed now. stlU more thin when he went to Vienna, and more thsn he believed last year, tint sggren sicn was in Ue contemplation of Russia. The Russians believed that tbe Turkish power must soon decay, and that either 1 ran re or EngUnd would hasten to seizo com Constantinople, and that the Russian empire would bo in danger, and therefore that they should be before band and make themselves masters of that oommand log position. It came to the same thing? that it was the object and Intention of Russia at some future time, and it night be in no vary remote future, to pos sess lierrelf of Constantinople. (Hear, hear.) Then, os 1'evltg tLat, were the gsseroments of Krantcanl Great ISrlta in to close with propositions that gave no security? Be admitted the imperfections of the guarantee they propos ed; but, as they were precluded from asking for any ces sion of territory by the protocols he oould see no b?t Ur security which they eould obtain than the limita tion of the Russian fleet; except that other plan, to wbich Russia was far more opposed, of mating the Black Sea a commercial sea altogether, and not admit I ting any ships of war. The r'gbt honorable member for Buckinghamshire would have bad them make a simply defensive war, but how" Was It by keeping any army perpotuallv tn defend Turkey ? It was not enongn to de fend her agalMt the Immediate peril, nor wonld it suf flce that Rutin declared, for the hundredth time, that ?be wonld respect tho integrity and independence of Turkey.

She bad no fortreases sufficient to prevent a K a Mian army, if it gained ore vi torj, from marching at one* to Vien na. fclie bad no secure alliance with l'ruaala; and that was one of ibe main motives whiah had deterred her f on taking an active part in thia war. Pnuiia, her great riral, not only opposed her on Uu> question, but tool constantly canrassing the mailer State* of Germany against her views, and endeavoring to gain than over. (Hear, bear ) to less they could ihew that there waa irnt predominant and necetaary motive to induoe tbrm to no to wer, the Austrian government felt that tbey would not be justified, in the face of the pope lation of Germany, in entering into the war. He told thia freely to the house, not only to do justice to Austria, but because hedld not wi?h to bold out bopes that might sot be verified, that Austria would Immediately take part in that war. He thought, b owner, that her position was sneb, and her treaty en gag<ments wltb ua were tuch, that li the war continued ?he would find it necMBiry, in or>r to meet and van quish tbat preponderance of Kussia, to taie part in the war. 01 this be fe.t sure, that the part wh'cu Aastria bad played, sot taking shares in the spoils of Turkey, as was expected, but joining with us in all the maaaures anr proposals wheh we had tboug't ne canary, would never be forgotten by Kuaaia, and that her only saety lsy in build'sr up such alliances a* nlihtsscare Turkey and secure Europe (Hear, hear ) He thereforo saouid be ready to vote spainst tbe motion, which degraded tbls f reat national cause, uot m-relj into a party nues tion (r partj question might be a vsry grtat question), but into a very limited and narnw party question? fb?sr, bear)? a qu?ation with respect to particular eon duct at ? particular mfiaoent, and particularly linguae* beld 19 rebates.

Tbe adjourned debate was resumed in the Hoiwe 0* Commons on tbe 26th ult., when after some apeeshea bad been mule ^ ^ Lord rslmerston said * * * . . . Sir, 1 beard the speech of my right hon. friend last nip lit (Mr Gladstone) with acmtratlon, no doubt but with considerable pain, becaureTie HMiut oniy to condemn the conduct of the war, but in the coneliid g portion of bis epeech it appeared to me that ma f pinions were adverse to tie war, expedition to the Cfimea, an* adverse to the term lof pcace, on which we are compelled to conclude the war- and vet my right hon. friend was a party to all ol t^eee things. (Cheers.) I regret that any ctrcuin stinces should, since he quitted the government, tave so entirely altered his c pinions on tbo'e Bubjecta. \'ow, it appears that there are two considerations in the cixcuciion. There are those, upon the one hand, who think we have not been sufficiently vi/erotu in the pro recnlion of the war; and others who wi^h to drive the country into peace upon terms which I think not con sietcnt with tbe honor and Interests of the country. Tbe lustice ond necessity of the war has been admitted bj all except a very saaali portion of this house. It arose rot simply from the nnbapyy events which caused the rupture; bnt dur ng a long period it has been the stanctng policy of Kussia to we?ten and crumble down, Md ultimately to appropriate Turkey. It hy heen oponly tvowed o! late that su?tt was the policy of Peter, of Catharine, of Alrxander and of Nicholas; It was the settled policy of Russia, which broke out in such a man ner as to render fuither post lveness on our ptrt IwPj" eiWe. I am not required, the?, to defend this war. The nation is unanimous abont it. I must agree w it h the honorable member who haa Just spoken, that being e teased la it we at* bound to carry it onwlth yi?or and energy, aed to close it wjth a inUrior of Rursia, tbey would lave been fl'htJM tux t?av licm their own cr?? ? ..c*uoue, and from any l i?r (torn their supplies and rein ferment* Ind there waa no polat to arhiev* which would have produced any decisive result. We went to Crimea, an ! to the siege of Sebsstopoi; beoause It was in the Black Pea that the danger to rurtey lav and became, it we had eusceeded in taking that fortress and the fleet, we should have giv-n fecur.tr to Tutkey. That being the object, that be n* the blow wMcb, when s'ruok, would depnvo Russia of the means of local aggression, I say the Crimea waa the place to which our troops could be m?et advantageously sent. Now, it is said we have put ourselves too much in tue hands of Austria I think it was sound polity to a: cert the good offices of Austria, to get her upon our s.de, In tbe flfWs. it we could. or, at all events, to hate her friendly concurrence in policy, fhat we have accomplished. It has no* suited tne poli?y_ of pesce net only honorable, but that shall accomplish tbe purpose for whieh the was undertaken. Why. nt, that purpo e is the protection of Turkey ; not simply for any evmrathy we may feel for Turkey, hut because the ba lance of power in Europe? an expression which involves the treat interests of tbe civilized world? is ooncrned in preventing the ooloasal power of Rusain, fromextone ing over this wide and important territory. Well, we bate Hen told that the war has done nothing. We are ready to admit that, beginning on a sudden, wlthapoeoe establishment, a war with a great antagonistic power, alter forty years poace, ft was to be expected that there should Ic m the at ministration of the different depart ments, some mieshanc's and mistakes whl^h would oc. cssiun great evils. But it haa tea ?aid we made a great mistake in going to the Crime*. Sir, I contend that was rrecisely the expedition we ought to have unlertaken to bring the war to a spe< dy and suoceisf til conclusion, why if we had gone to Bemerabla, if onr army h*d entered the Austria to declare herself an active ally ; bat we have her good offices and tbe benefit of her neutrality, la an aimed poei'.ioa, which has been e. powerful mUitary ei versioa in our favor. If, ln.teed of engeCtngto defend tbe Principalities, she had s;ood by, tne Turks would have been ojliged to Veep a large army on tbeir frontier, and we might have been obliged to afford ?liem mUiUry suppcrtTi'he oonventioa between Auatria and Turkey fhut the door to invasion from Russia, snd his ^ Oirer Pacha, witfc that gallaat army wbich repeVad the Russians oa the Danube, to cooperate with in hi the (Tnea.

It la, therefore, un true to say that Austria has been of r?o advantage to the slles Then, wouW it have been politic to refuse the b?oJ office* of Austria, to obtain, if possible, the con lent of Russia to the tsrms lett ed between the three governments? If we bud refused them, we should have deserved oensure and disapprobation^ But a 1th cugh negotiating at Vienna, we h?:1 emitted nothing which could possibly have been <?oi?e tj prose cute the war aa If no negotiations had taken place. And what haa been the result? We have a fleet which will blockade evtry Russian port la the 13*1 sic. Wo have in the black Sea a flee: equal to any servlje required And lis for our army, it is true that, during the winter, It ras expesod to great and lamentable suiTsrings; but I so hsppy to say they are now over; that ?rmy la in perfect efficiency, aad provided with everything; its health ti aoed, its e4uipmrntH are complete, furnished with aa the materials of war. the oommiisanat arrangements are good, the hoapltal establishment* excellent; there la nothing omitted. (Cheers.) Our allies are strength ened; the French army lias be?-n reinfo-ced; we hava the SArdinlan coating* nt, and a large Turkisa army in the Crimea; we haw ?>ow, I lake it, not less than something like 200,000 men; aad therefore, so 'ar from having relaxed in our preparati<*s lor war, ena acoount of tbe negotlatlona, wa have fone everything it was poesible to do. (Ohears.) Now, with regajd to these negotlatlona, I den y that oar language haa been ambiguous or uncertain. When ques tioned, we hava stated that which was exactly true. (Cheers.) There lias been mueh criticism on the condi tions of the negotiations. My right honorable friend raid, that wa had got three points aad a half out ef four points Thatla a convenient mo?e of treating arltnme tically a groat political quests n; but .?upp?se that third point had been the possession of St. Petersburg, o* the separation af Poland, would U be said that we should nut haggis about that tingle pelat? (Clieers,) What is that poiat he treats so lightly f It wa) the revision of the treaty ef 1841, for two puraoaes. One waa to at tach more closely the existence of Turkey to the bailee of power in Europe. There la more of apparent than real value in that, for tie Turkish empire haa, even in form, ever since 1841, been racognteed as belonging to the European baUnee. But the second purpoee w?s really of value : it was to ?ut an end to the preponderance of Russia la the B\yck h?a. Way, so long as Russia has, in her greet harbor of Sebas topol, a powerful fleet ready to sallv forth with a large army within forty-eight hours' sail of ConsUi nUaopl?, Turkey is evidently exposed to a continual dunjter- But my right honorable friend seyslt weulil be a humiliation toliaihlato Impose on her a diminution of her navy. That might be said or any condition by which a power b'n.'s Itself not to do that which It would otherwise ha?e a light to do. But if ahe be sincere In he* declare- | tloaa, it ia no hurt illation to Russia. (Hear, Hear.) It i Is said that there will be danger to Russia; that Turkey nsv hring a large fleet up through the Bo iphoroa It Is the first time I aver heard of the wolf requiring security egainst the aggressions of the lamb. ( A laugh.) Tte idea of Russia needing security against an attack from Turkey is merely fanciful. We are told tbe beet security would be to open the straits to the fleets of all nations. Then you would expose the Sultan to have an choring before bis pslace windows a hostile force at any time. Again, Russia h?s said that the Bultan might call In the Heels of bis aBles to aaaist him when threatened with danger. Thank yon for nothing. I say te Russia, that is a right Inherent In the Sultan as an independent sovsreign. (Cheers.) It Is a mockery to say that, what ever be stipulated by the treaty of 1841, he haa not the power ef doing so, without any eenceseion by Bussie. But we are contemplating, not a period when Knglsnd fcnd France without wee eatabMshments, and 0?ete,-q.al to cope with the Ro*tene 1* Jhe BHrak Sea aad Baltic, but in )mn, whan ear AmU ud armies a ten hot* been ndtoM, while Rasafe, fanning bar wn system, at; keep u> a*?n*ii atandtng amy lit lest, and be itriag at U>a )M?t where fe|)ud ax!

Why, I remem ber some year* ago, wben the arm lee ef the Conti nent vera awell?d to an enormous and dangerous amount, a prop? al was made that France, Austria.

Bat it wauld be wor'by of a great couatry, when en gaged *n a war of sucb importance as this, and in a clause which ia so clear an.l definite, to hold out expecta tions by which any paiiiea n>aj be misled, so as to com mit themselves in a tnaoier fital to their own interests, Oir duty ia to confine ouiselvea to that in which we see oar way. And 1 do say that we do see our way to success in the ap*rat ons in which we are now engaged; ana in spite of all diittculties we have had to surmount, and of r'l tbe nile*haacee wbieh bare happened, I think we liave turned tbe point; 1 think we are now in a con dition in which? tbe government with whom we are con tending having refuseed these fair conditions, which, in conjunction with France and with Uie approbation of Austria, we have proposed ? we may reel oonfl.lent that we ean carry on cur one rations of war with a fair pros pect ot tbat success which EngUnd and France are bound to obtain. I aay we are bound to obtain, because it is impossible for England md France, when engaged in a gr< at contest to fail in accomplishing their object. It would not be simply tbe disappointment of a particular object in view, itwoulk be tbe abnegation of the proud position they hold, because we should sink into the con dition of a leccnd rate power. The right honorable gen - , tlvman can eloquently descant on the calamities of war ; no man will be insensible to them. But I aay thire are things worse than war; diehonor to a country it worae than war ? (cheers) I do not mean worae merely in opinion, but it brings on even physical afflictions greater than thoae of tbe temporary exertions made in war. (Cheera.) I say, therefore, the prrty who would induce this country to abandon the contest upon unsatis factory and insufficient grounds. if there opinion prevailed, would be fatal to the best interests qf their country. (Cheers) The house is called upon to pronoanee its opinion to night upon two great and important ques tions. First, upon the existence of a ministry, which soine men may think of alight Importance. If it depend ed upon a sugar bill a timber bill, or any matter o. mere party conflict. I should aay parliament might deal with it cn simply personal grounds, and without regarding the consequences. Bat there is a far greater ques tion, which is ? the policy of the country, ita position among the nations of the world, our alliances with foreign governments? almost th* future reputation, the honor, and the de?r?st interests of England. (One; re.) Ob viously the object of the light honoraole gentleman ia, that this House should pronounce the government in ccmpeteit, and remove us from office.

Ha aaid ? * ? ? Now tbe choice ties between the two sides of the house, and I con epd that wo, to whom the government has lor some time past been committed, have doue nothing to foreit the good opinion with which we were honorei; fcr we bave taken every measure to prosecute with vigor a war which we and tbe country believed to be necessary and just. I think the resale will show that we have not Ixen ui deriving of the confidence which was repoaed in ns on our advent to power, and that we shall b< able to realize the expectations of those who are looking with amictv to tte results of the war.

(Cheers.) Whatever may be the deci skn of this night? whatever may be the relative strength of parties in thia FIoL.se, I am convinced t\ at the c/mntry is in eat net atout the tear, and I am aatiafied that the people ot England will give their support to any govern n.?nt tbat v 111 in thia reepect endeavor to execute the will of the British nation. As far aa tbe oountry gener ally is concerned, I look with comparative indifference to the result of this motion.

The coble earl commenced by observing th?t he un d eric ok the present tasc with unmingled pain, because it was impossible for him not to fee' tbat he should receive very little support friu. their lordships generally, and because it was most dls tasteful to him in any way to eonaem the condact of a government whish contained so many of his penoniil and political friends. He calculated tbat upon tbe low tat estimate not less tQan fcSO.iCO bam in beings had l>een sacrificed within tbe last two years to tbe grim idol of wsr. Iu addition to this we had to mourn provinoe* devastated, populations demoralized, and the progress of industry and com mere arrested. He then shudowed ont r?mo of the msny things whieh might have been ac cojr-p.iahed from money which had been expended in the war. and proceeded to argue that tnese disturbances justified him in raising his voice to protest against the pei severe rite in a course which had led to such results. Ho contended that by tbe refusal of the government to consider the last propotals made by Russia, at the Vienna Conference, a fair opening for faither nepot'attons, by which tbe great cilamltv of war migbt have been srreslod, and therefor* the House was justified in representing to her Majestv that she tad been ill advised by her confidential advisers.

Referring to tho Vienna Oenferenee he observed that the proposal for the reduction of the Rus?i?n fleet in tho Black Sea was insulting to an inde pendent power, and in reply to the statement that tbe faith of Hussla in keeping an engagement eould be relied on. He irmarked that toe objection would apply with equal force whatever might be the terms on which a Bace was to be concluded Be considered that if the itlsh embassy at Constantinople had exercised as much judgment and wisdom aa Russia herself, tbe war would never have broken eut. The r.irl of Cubxxdos, who spoke of Ixjrd Grey as the advocate cf Roieia, observed that the noble eaurl emitted to take into aoconnt the unifotm spirit of aggTeesion which tbeCsar had al way s manifested against Turkey. Ibe late Empercr Nicholas had asserted that tbo fcujtsn was past hope, and the mission of Prince Nensehlkcff was destined to give him the roup de /trace. Bine e tbe outbreak of the war we had become better ac quainted with the designs of Ruasta, and with her me ma fcr executing thtm, and had discovered that Europs was standing over a mine without knowing tt. Russ.a had for jeniu been permitted to Interfere and to encroach, through tbe cnlpable negligence of the Europnan Powers, and. but lor the timely revelation of ber ulti mate objects, might la a few years more hAvn suc ceeded in realising her plana. Finding every reason to conclude thai these designs were still entertained and tbe power of RussU still unbroken, lord Clarendon pro reeded to enforce the necessity of finding soma effectual means to repress the advsuoee and eurb tbe ambition of power which continually threatened the Independent of its ne'ghbors. He examined, point by point, the pro positions which had been suggested for this purpose, snd white declaring tbat nothing hut the intractable spirit of agaresaion on the part of Rnssla had stood in the way of peace contented that England was bound for tbe sake alike of honor and security to piwecut* the war until terms wire offered calculated to evrry out the principle which he had indicated, and guarantee the sa fety of Europe.

In expectation of the result of the labors of this committee and tbe decision of tbe Cortes, I send yon a few itema, which I have from an authentic source. In June, 1863. Mr. Feijoo 8otomayar solicited from the superior authorities of the island, tbe privilege of trans porting emigrants or colonists to Cuba for a period of fiitsen years. Mr. Feijoo Sotomayor protended to be actuted rather by a patiiotic motive than by a desire for gain. He pledgee himself t> give to each colonist a monthly payment of one thouiand reals, or about $60, and to transport them back again to Spain at he expiration of the fifteen years. The comm'ssio ners appointed by tbe autharitles of tbe island, declared that Mr. Feijoo claimed an odious monopoly. That misery alone, (it was the year that famine made such ravages in GaUcia.) eonld in a moment of ten pair atduce a great manv unfortunate men to go in a killing climate, work for tbe benefit of Mr Feijoo, while working for their own account tbey could earn much more money. Notwith ?landing this opinion of the Oommlssionars, Mr. Feijoo obtained through tbe influence of muoh money, a royal decree under data of March 22 and May 2, 1863, autho rizing htm to preiesute his scheme. A great number of Gallicisms, tempted t>y the promises made to them, have departed, but nave socn alter their departure bitterly regietteo it Instead of 960 Mr. Feijoo gave them but $5. The black slsves earn from $2u to $26 monthly. The bard labor to which tbey have been subjected have already killed a great number, and Mr. Feijoo complains of having against him tbe Commissioners of tbe island and the principal authorities. Gen. Concha, who former ly bad condemned this enterprise, will make known at the proper time when tbe Cortea is ready to examine into this matter, some detaila of which will reflect to the dis credit of Mr. Feijco i-'otomayer.

On motion of Alderman Veerhia, a committee of eoniereno? was appointed aa follows ? Aldermen Tucker. H'mck and C. H. Tucker. THX LOCATION 01 THE SEW CITY UALL. Alderman Fox called irom the table the report in rt? l&tion to tbe location of the pr posed New liitr Hall. The Beard then went into Committee of the Whole, AlCfcraoan Ely in the :h?lr. on tbe subject. The ma jority report in favor or having the hall in the Park, waa first read, and then followed the minority report, in fa vor of adopting Madiacn square. Alderman Vkbuas movtd that the latter report he adopted. Alderman Fox moved that the Majority report he adopted. Al< erman Vbrriak spoke in favor of having the New Citv Hall located in Mao iaon square. Be eouaidered it to be the interest ef the whoie inland to have the hall built op town Alderman Voorhis said he had given his view* pretty fully in the minority report ia favor of Madieoit square. He referred to the firs', movement of ehnr:aee up town, and their graoual mot ement to that Motion of the eity since. He believed that Mere were 700,000 people in New York, snd if the city would continue to increase as it had, no town was tbe right location for the Han. In a few years be toougbt Yorkvilie weuli be a more central loaalioo than tbe Park. If we went to work to build a baVLt^i ch wouM take nearly ten years, at th* expiration jMfcst period people would he quit* convinc ed that the " should be uptown. He Aid noi want to remoW^^k' "? courts from the Pask, hat enly the city goveraae^^d deportments. In building a Hall up town, Alleraa?\ would have a gallery fo7 ladies, as these fair creatuan w >n id , no doubt, of ten pay the Coal men Council a vlsH wb>l? m sesi'on, and suah would have a refining acd exalting influence. Alderman Fox said the object of a new City Hall, waa for the buaineea portion of the city The city railroads, and all the ave nues, converged at tbe one point, the Park, and it would be easier and more convenient for up town people to reach the Park at any time than to get to Madison square. Alderman Loud said be could not really believe that Aldeman Voorhis was eerious in his reasonings. He thought that, the AMe'man would stop after submitting bis curious minority report; but he was surprised to see him get up in this Boaro in tbe assumed character of "Young America," denouncing the down town advo cates as old fogies, and giving suoh unreasonable calcu lations. Alderman L. thought Alderman V.'a idea to bare the City Hall up town tor the purpoee ef getting a larger audience was rldicu ous. The Board had too much of a crowd hanging around it nightly already. Aid. L. did not even think it neceaeary to have some ef the eharm era of the fair sex coming In liatening to the "Of fal ctn tract," or any other awful debates. He thought there was no probability of business being crowded much above the present City Hall, notwith standing the increase of reaidencea up town. If the whole island was built unon, the Pate would, from the position of the city and ita avenues, with the chipping at the lower end, n>. be the most central past, in a anal neas point of view, and consequently It waa the enly and best location for tbe building in oontemplatien. The idea of a City Hall on lladison square, ao far frena the business section of tbe city, be proMoaneod absurd, ridiculous, and only proposed to grant/ a few intonated individuals. Itmigbt convenienoe a few, aad enhance the estates aad interests of a few, while it wotid incon venience the majority. The Park would suit the conve nience of all. Alderman Wx. Trcmm spoke in favor of having the Ball erected in the Park. The banks, insurance eompa niea, and all the business institutions of importance in the city, arc below Oanal street; eves tbe lawyers and all men of butineaa had to come heloir that point, and auch, bo thought, would continue for a century to come. Alderman Howard waa in favor of keeping the OUy Hall where It is, becauae it waa in the centre of the buaineea of New York. He oontended that there waa more business dose down town than in the upper part of the eity. It waa here the shops were and tne Mer chants' stores, t tough tbore were some palaces built up town, which were not paid for; and it would be ao accommodation to those people to have the basin can of the Commcn Council move up towards theaa. Why ahould they consult the accommodation of posterity? If they wanted to em.t toe up town progress and poeton ty of one nundred years hence, they might aa well erect it at Spuyten Dujvil. AlAermen Bkrkick waa of opinion that the City Hall should be up town. He eoa'ended that the lawyers and the merobants, or even the newspaper community, did not constitute tbe principal portion of the businces peo ple of Mew York. We want the business population up own. Alderman Williamson had no interests to subserve in the lower part of the eity. but he believed that this waa the centre of the business community of New York, and he therefore was opposed to the removal of the City Hall up town. He considered tnat the wants and wishes ef tbd people would b? best consulted by allowing the location of the City Bali to remain down town. Alderman Brjgqh spate in favor of a building in the Park, if tbe expense didunot exceed $600,000; but if such a project as tbat now before the Board waa to be adopted, he would vote lor its being erected ia Madison square. Alderman Brown aald be could not see that ono good reacon had baen advanced to support the removal of the City Hall up town. He eons derad the minority report a mere joke, and he ? as confident no one would support it, and that the good ?>enee o' the Board and the commu nity would prevail againa; 'he removal up town. Alderman Voorhm said that if Alderman Brown was sucocsafnl In obtaining the office of Sheriff, for which ho waa a candidate, le wuuV see the necessity ef having tbe City HaH up to ra, towards which the population was moving dally. Alderman Wakkma.v sp:ke at great length in favor of the up town movemert. Alderman Voorhis again spoke in favor of the City Hall in lladison rqoaie Alderman Christy waa of opinion that the present dis cussion would be of no avail, as it was quiie apparent tbat tbe next Board of Aldermen would have the MgWa. tion in the matter. By tbat time there would be a great change In this Bear A ; there would be a different act of men tn it AWermaa Drown, of the First ward, would tben be Sheriff. Aldermsn Ho ware Commissioner of Bo pairs and Supplies, and Alderman Herrisk Comptroller. Ak'timan Brow* again spoke in favor of the down town location. Alderman C. H. Tvckkk moved a resolution tha the subject be submitted to t?? people at the next election. Tbe Chairhan decided 1 hat tae resolution could not be entertained inComm ttee of the Whole, and that it should come in aa new matter. Alderman Stifrs waa in favor Of the new building being erected in tbe Paik, tbe centre of the business ana ttiacufactuHng population of hew York. After some further d*b?te tbe committee rose, and the Chalrmtn reported tbat the msjorlty report of the Com mittee of tbe Whole waa in favor of locating the City Hall in tbe Park. The President (Alriermta barker,) then pat the ques tion on the resolution locating the City Hall in the Park, when there appear* d, In the affirmative?
