The mails from brought by the steamship Asia reached this city half-past twelve o'clock last night. Owing to the lateness of the hour at which cur despatches came to hand we are com: pelled to limit our extracts to a brief synopais of the speeches of the Earlof Aberdeen and the Duke of Newoastle on the Ministerial change in England, ‘The remarks of Lord Derby, to whom was entrusted the task of forming a cabinet, are, however, given in full. We also give the latest intelligence from Prussia and Austria, relating to the political com- plications of those countries. Ministertal Explanations, In the House of Lords on the Ist inst., ‘The Farl the government had felt it to be their duty at once to Place their nations in Her Majesty’s ‘hands. He ‘would take this oT. to state that, while the Jate admidistration did not shrink trom any inquiry into their conduct, he believed that such an injury would show that no indifference had been shown by them to the wanta of the army in the Crimes, and he as fi believed that the sufferings of thatarmy had been rated, of the ‘The ote ee both from the Ent f ares) and from allies by which these forces were supported, were cheering, and the ficancial posi- country was satisfactory. The country, bow: tien of t ever, demanded a strong administration, How that was to be mai he was at, but rumor asmgned the tank to the Earl of Derby. All he would say at present wos, that any administration which might be formed by her Majesty would receive that support from himself and E35 friends which the exigencies of the country de- manded, ‘The Dube of Newcastie rose to give some personal ex- ogo as to his conduct ‘wuiie' at the head of the far rtmeat, explanations which were im, tively called for by the observations which had fallen from Lord Jobn Russel in another place When the question of dividing the ofiices of Secretary of State for Colo- nies and retary of State for War was discussed in the Cabinet, he ‘had cistinctly said that, so far as he was concerned, he was Lape Lange f to retain “either or neither’? of them ; and yet, in the fe of this Gexpression, Lord J.’ Russal ‘had asa: that he bad yielded to his (the Duke’s) “ stron; wish’? to ocoupy the War Department. Nor, thoug! Lord J. Russell asserted it, had he ever heard at that time that Lord J. Russell had expressed any wish that Lord Palmerston should fill the of Secretary for War. The noble Duke then went at length into the cor- reapondence between the.Earl of Aberdeen and Lord J. Russell with respect to the resignation of the litter, and showed that, so far as he was concerned, that ste had been quite gratuitous on the part of Lord J. Russell, for he (the Duke of Newcastle) had expressly said to Lord ABERDEEN, when Lord Joun Rvsseut. was complaining of hia conduct, ‘Don’t give my Lord Jonny Russet. an: pretext for quitting the government, Do with me what- ever is best for the public service.’’ Fyally, before t! meeting of Parliament, he had informed Lord Aver- DREN that, in consequence of the strong feeling mani- I hould feel it bis duty to resign ‘ar Minister, and that he shou d do this government were in a majority or not. He had now esid all that he had to say, except that he would endeavor to make the Ce easy of any one who beg be called on to succeed him. Faal of Danuy—My lorda, whatever may be the of the course which has been parita: itary fi aril edb the ne rake site, in bis reference and oped by duke op is answer to the speech of the noble jord, late hiis col- league in the other House, fam ready to amit, and your lordships will probably feel with me, that that course, if not tn Sohal may well be regarded with some indulgence, and that sufficient apology is afforded for the explanations we have beard this evening. (Hoar.) Ican easily understand the feelit under which the noble duke thought ft mécessary to offer before your lordships, aa Minister of the Crown, a vindication of him- velf against the charges which certainly affected most materially his character, not as a man, but as a Minister.” And I should not for a single moment have complained of any Fag a of the noble dul reference to the proceedings in the other House of Parliament if I did not fee) it incumbent, at the outset of the few obser- vations I sball have to submit to your lordships, to no- tice with regret one statement which fell from the noble duke, and which to me, and I believe to most of your Jordshipa, was utter! intelligible. Thi man who, he said, in the oth the floor of that house, and, speaking to my right honorable friend the leader of t position there, asked his concurrence to, & mation, not directly impugn. ing the government, but impugning the conduct of the noble di himeelf. Of thes, person, of that unknown individual, andof that fact, or cf anything like that fact, Ican assure the noble duke that up to this moment I’ have been in complete igno- rance. Further than this, 1 assure that if he be- Iteves the decision come to by the House of Commons to express their opinion of the conduct, not of the noble duke, but of her Majesty's government in the manage- ment of the war—if he conceives that that vote was the result of concert or of previous communication, directly ..or indirectly, between any parties whatever, to the best af my belief and knowledge the noble duke is absolutely |. and entirely mistaken. (Hear.) The Duke of Nawcasti#—The. noble earl has seteely pan a) gor a what fell from me on this point. m™ precisely the reverse of that which he infers I meant. What I said was entirely founded on the speech of the i, honorable gentleman, the leader of the Op- eryinery in the House of Commons. That right honora- le gentleman, in his place in the House, made a state- ment to the effect that there bad been euch « communi- tion made by a gentleman to him. This is my aathority for the ‘act, but the right honorable pons expreas- ¥ said that he had repudiated the as made to him. ir, hear. ‘The Earl A Dyruvy,—It will be unnecessary, then, for me to proceed further w.th the observations I was bout to make oa that point, But, notwithstandin; statement which the noble duke has just made, I he will forgive me if I do tay here in the most empha’ manper that the vote cf the House of Commons proceed- ed the other day not from any one peri, more — cially not from the party in direct opposition to Her Ma- nay, more, that it was the earnest I know, of those who are intrusted with the confi of that party to abstain from bring- ing forward any motion w Hy = Senene cogres w tee government, or tend in L degree td embarites them, (Hear, hear ) Now, the noble duke’s statement this evening, so far ax I could infer from what fell from him, consisted in part of a vindication of his own cbaracter, and partly of w reply to the statements made by his late colleague. I and others, I am afraid, have been compelled to differ from the noble duke and from his colleagues with regard to many points affect- ing the conduct of the war; and I have oa more than one occasion expressed my opinion on the subject to the noble duke and to your lordships—mot uncour teowsly, I hope, but with that frankness which I think ought to be exercised in this House. (Hear, hear.) But I never heard any one deny to the noble duke the merit of having been laborious in the discharge of his duties, and of having cevoted bimself assiduously to his office ; nor bave | heard amy one—I know vot, ‘of course, what may have ap in some papers, or what conversation may have taken place at the clubs— house crossed over Jeaty’s govern’ recommend r heard the noble duke charged in Par lament, or by any responsible authority, with intiffer- ence to the sufferings o! the army.
