(Hear, hear.) There might be those who would say that whea the war with Russia bud ended happily, the powers who were State. The noble lord has also referred w an opinion of tae late Emperor Napoleon, that \ustrian domination was so bated in aly ‘because it ruled with the stick, Hot with the sword. He (Lord J.

Count Walewski introduced the subject to the Congress by observing that the pontifical States were in an abnormal state, and that the necessity for not heaving the country to anarchy bad decided France, as weil as Austria, to comply with the demand of the Holy See by ng Rome to be occupied by her tro) the Austrian troops necupied the legations. The first French plenipovertiary also made some refertnce to the state of Naples, and hie was followed by Lord Clarendon, ‘um whose declaration the people of this country were more des interested, inasmach as he was the repre- draw the attention of the House, and through it the atten- tion of the country, to the interesting and important mat- ters which he had just brought under their notice. It ‘was impossible to overrate the importance of these mat ters in the preseut condition ot Europe. They had just ‘Witnessed the termination of one of the greatest, although one of the shortest, wars in which this country had ever been engaged. That war bad been happily terminated; and, altbough the questions which gave rise to it had threatened to result ip consequences most calamitous to Furope, they had now been settled in a manner which, he trusted, would effectually remove any epprehension from that source for along time to come. A Congress had as- sembied at Paris to discuss the conditions uf the peace; and it was only natural ‘hat the representatives of the eat Powers of Europe should not separate without ing directed their attention to other matters of Eu- ropean interest beyond the immediate objects for which they had been called together. It would have been a re- sentative ot her Majesty at the conference. Lord Cla- | proach to the representatives of the great Powers if, Tendon stated that it was most desirable that all | when they had been called together for the great purpose foreign troops should be removed from Roma | of European pacification, they had shut their eyes to cir and the Roman States, and then went on to | cumstances which might bring about future complica abserve that “for the well-being of the pontitical States, as also for the interests of the sovereign authority ®f the Pope, it would be advantageous to recommend . vation of the goverament and the organi. 2 administrative system io harmony with the age, and having for its object the happiacss copie. He admitted that this reform might per- in Rome itself, at the present moment, certain ies: but he thought that it might be easily accom- plished in the legations He also observed that for the dest cigu years Bologna had been wi # state of seige, and Uvat the rural districts were barassed by brigauds. It might o¢ hoped that by establishing in this pa-t of the Roman “tates an administrative and judicial system at once secular and distinct; and by organizing there a na- tonal armed force, security and confidence would rapid- fy be restored, and the Austrian troops might shortly Withdraw, without huving to apprehend the return of freeh troubles. It was at least an experiment which, in bie (Lord Ciarendon’s) opinion, ought to be attempt- ed; and this remedy, proposed for indisputable evils, Ought to be submitted by the Congress to the serious cousideration of the Pope.’ With respect to the Neapo- tan government, Lord Clarendon stated that ‘+ he was desirous of imitating the example given nim by Count ‘Walewski, by passing over iu silence acts which have obtained tuch grievous notoriety. He was of opinion ‘that it must doubtiess be admitted in principle that no P ctoape gore bad the right to interfere in the internal af- of otuer States; but he considered that there were cases in which the exception to this rale became equally a@rightandaduty. The Neapolitan government seemed to bave confessed this right, and to have impoved this duty op Furope: and, as the goverments represeuted in the Congres: wer? all equally desirous to support the mo- rarchical principle, and to repel revolution, it was a duty to hift up the voice against a system which keeps up re- volutionary ferment among the masses, insteat of seek. ing to moderate it.” These representations were followed at the conference by similar representations on the pert of other countries—Connt Buol, on the part of Ausiria, having alone declined to enter into the discus. ion. Count Cavour stated ‘that the occupation of the Roman “tates by the Austrian troops assumed every day more of a permanent character, that it had lasted seven years, aud that, nevertheless, po indications appesred Which would lead to the supposition that it would cease ata more or less early period; that the causes which Gave rise to it were still in existence, that the state of the country which they occupy was assuredly not improved, ‘and that. in order to be satistied of this, it was enough to remark that Austria considered herself obliged to main- tions, as dangerous to the peace of Europe as those which it had been their gratifying duty to put anendto. The aftvirs of Italy, therefore, naturally attracted their atten- tion. His noble frtend bad well remarked, that occu- pations of independent States by foreign troops was such a departure from the ordinary course of affairs that they were only to be justified by an immediate and pressing necessity, and that they ought not to be con- tng after the uecessity which gave occasion for them ad been removed. If they were, the power which con. tinued them beycnd that period became deeply responsi- ble, and was bound to show the reasons upon which it acted. The occupation then of several of the Italian States by foreign troops, naturally attracted the attention of the Congress of Paris; and no one was more ntting than the representative of the Emperor of the Frencb, whose troops participated in these occupations, to bring the subject under the notice of that reas. Jt was ‘most honorable to the Emperor of the French, that he should have instructed his representative to take this courte, and by so doing signify his desire to putan end to this state of things, if he could obtain the concur. rence of Austria. The discussion, however, did not jJead to apy resuit. The representative of Austria held out no hopes that his government would take any steps in this cirection; and he professed to be without instructions on the subject. nobie friend (Lord J. Russel!) therefore wished to know what were the tnten- tions of ber Majesty's government; whether they meant to let the matter altogether, or whether they feit it to be their duty to continue to press the matter on, and what steps it was their duty to take in so doing.’ He (Lord Palmerston) thought that both his noble friend and the House would feel that when her Majesty's govermen:, in conjunction with the government of the Emperor of the French, had made themselves @ party to an official re- presentation, with a view of inducing a cessation of those ebnormal occupations, it was no momentary result that eught tobe expected, and that no failure for the time sgould induce the governments of the two great countries to desist from any endeavors which they might think would produce results greatly to the advantage of all Purope. What steps her Majesty’s gov- erpmpent might think it their duty to take, his noble friend, ¢f all men, must feel that it would be unbecoming for bim to state; but he bad no hesitation in saying that the questian Was one of the greatest importance, and Ubet he emertained the strongest hope that the objects which the Congress at Paris bad in view might be even: tually realiged. (Hear, har.) It was aid, on one side, ‘that if the ocoupations were put a stop to, scenes of revo \ution and disaster would ensue.

He (Mr, Digraeli) understood that Austria was tae Power re- ferred to, and he concluded that the noble lord was in- consistent in stating that there was fear of an Austrian in- varion, at the same time that he was holding out hopes that the peril might be ended by the it inter- ference of Austria.

It might be well, so far as the poetry of polities were concerned, to dixcuss the gatwr; bul were they prepared to go farther than the mere discussion, a xl ‘to commit the country to a line of policy which might b« attepced with the most serious consequences? Ther were two ways of dealing with the question. They migh £0 to war w th Austria, and send a to Naples and th Adriatic. They could also send ships and convey th~ troops of their ally to any part of Italy; and after enga ging in a war, perbaps as long and devastating as the Pu- bic war, they might, in the course of Sena, change the whole constitution of Italy. If such was their plan, he called on the Ministers to state it to Parliament, and appeal to the opinion of the public. There wax an- other mode by which they might attain their object In 1848 it was his (Mr. Disraeli’s) part to lay before Parliament the affairs of Italy. He remembered well what the government of day had done, aad Delieved their conduct had been so dangerous to the in. terest of Italy that he viewed with pain and fear anv at tempt at pursuing a similar course by sending missions 10 give advice to the people of Italy.

But, assuming all thee tales of ruthless imprisonment to be true, he believed that It was caused by the panic fear of the sovereizu of a small State, subject to perpetual insurrections and conspiracies fomented by foreign States. The same ttatements had been made years before with refer- ence to the Avstrian patriots imprisoned in Austrian dungeons ; but had they interfered in favor of them? Had they not ali heard of the banishments to Siberia, but had they declared war with Russia on that accounty had not hegpow gn wo deca. swat: for, pene causes mary tpt erful states; and why, he asked, should they adopt erliiferent policy with pe ato sma)l and comparatively powerless? People believed that the perils of Italy arose from all liberty being crushed and overpowered by its occupation by foreign troops: but he conceived that the great peril of Italy arose from secret societies. It was useless to deny that all Italy, the greater part of France and* Germany, and very much of the rest of Europe, were covered by @ network of secret socielies who wanted, not constitutional governments or retorming Popes, but @ transfer of all the lands from their present possessors, the overthrow of the church, and still moreextreme changes. They would have a re: public im Naples, formed on extreme opinions, which would be followed by the Pope becoming a fugitive; in which case, perbaps, his Hon. friend behind him (Mr. Spencer) would say there was no great harm. (Laugh- ter.) triumvirs would be re-established in Rome, and toe cardinals and priests would be banished. What of thaty it might be said, Jet the cardinals and priests go; for po _ republic can be as great a tyranny as that which had been overthrown. But did they think that that would be the end of tt¥ Italy would be oce spied by the forces of the twe reat Catholic powers, France and Austria. The red repub- cans would be conquered; but the snifering of the people would be dreadtul; nor would the mischief even end there. ‘The secret societies of France would be on the alert. With all respect for the great prince who now so ably ruled France. and bad go powerful an army devotedly attactied to him, be (Mr. Disraeli) could not forget thet another great prince bad a! no distant period sat on the French throne —a prince, whose sagacity waa powerful, who, like the precept Emperor, had also been schooled in adversity, whose name was never mentioned in that house Dut in terms of pamegyric from each side, who also was surrounded by an army flashed! with com quest, yet who Jell suddenly from the machiwations of secret societies. catastrophe was precipitated by the scarcity ot the previous year: and he re minded the bouse that was bow also sulleriog from @ great calamity, I might be that the sagacuy of the present ruler would succeed in mitigating its con- sequences; but he would be very careful ia his policy to avoid strengthening the secret societies, which were a ource of such danger to bis throne.

He (Lord John Rassetl) bad referred only to occupations by forega troops, and be did not propose to interfere in other States Which soquiesced in a dos form of government of their own free will He only soggested that the governments should either abetain from ail interference in Italy, or should proceed in the line marked out by the protocols of the Congress of Paris. He twd de- sired to ascertain the intentions of the goverament; for he wished to know whether Austria's occapasons were to continue im Italy until she had obtained a title to the States she occupied. He expressed hie ratisfaction at hearing that the government cid uot tend to abandon the views ex in the Congress at Paris. He hat not presumed to d the course which they should pursue, and he was gied to thivk that there was some ground for the favorable anticipation of the noble lord st the head of the government, that the Italian Powers might be induced to adovt the necessery reform them velver. The motion was then negative! without a d:viston. ‘The Dantsh Sound Does. Loxoos. Priiay. 11, 1866, ‘The select committee appointed to ingfire imto the Sound dues assembled in Londen at one o'clock, Mr. C. P. Villiers_in_ the chair, The other members present were Mr. T. Milner Gibson, Mr, Liddell, Mr. Duncan, Mr. Mitebell, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Hutt, Me. Pramicy Moore, Mr. Cardwell and Mr. R. Phiilimor: the first witness called. He said he he minister representing this country at Copenha- avd was acquainted with the desire of the Danish nment to meet the views ft other countries with regard to the abolition of the Sound dues, The repre- different countrie ad been invited to meet avh government and discuss the question; and, renee, tables were iuced showing the d by each nation. rally speaking, he wae enabled to confirm the evidence already given as to the inconvenience and dangers arising from the deten: tion of s+arels at Fleinore. ‘Ther eros aents at Elsinore who paid the dues and charged a com roiesion. The agencies were very profitable, several of them realiving_ae much as £2,000 8 year. By the tretty of 1645 a fixed rate was levied upon emamerated artisies in the shape of Sound does, and that fixed rate war continted in the treaty of 1841, In 1701 a treaty wee entered into between Holland and Denmark, and subsequently receded to by othergcountries, by which it wae wgreed that an ad valorem duty of one per cent heula be paid Gpon wnenowerated artictes, There could, therefore, be fo question as to the duties to which different descriptions of goods were liable; and he had never heard that the charg ed bad been principal reason Which induced the Danish government to desire a revision of the dues was the objection of the government of the United states vo pay tbem. The United States objected tothe payment oa iweiple, but were perfectly willity w pay Denmark a fair indemnity for the abolition of the dues, 4o tar as the ships of that countey were concerned He was ut aware thatany other counwy had relused two pay the dues. Prussia, Sweden, Norway aud the Germaa States bad already agreed to the proposition of Denmark to abolish the dues upon the payment of a xed sum. At the present moment there was @ canal in Sweden by which goods could be couveyed to the Baltic; but as Swe den was most anxious to get rid of the Sound dues, he could not conceive that she had any desire to secure the soonest for berself. Transit dues were levied upon goods which went overland. All countries were bound to pay the Sound dues, but there were exemptions irom the payment of transit dues. Th») latter dues were im- posed for the purpose of protecting the Sound dues, though perhaps it was scarcely consi-tent with the spirit of the favored Dations’ clause of the treaty to impose a tax, apd yet open a side door by which particular coun- tries might evade payment of the Sound dues. By Mr. Minor Gnison—Gooas were not exempted be cause they came from a particuliar country; but certain descripuona of goods were exempted. Comiug from where they might, goods of that particular description would enjoy the exemy the Cuamenn—He'was not aware of any arrange- ment \0 carry tue geods of other countries free The re venue cerived from tho transit dues was not very cor siderabie, the amownt pad to Denmark during tbe jast four years having averaged adout £5.40 a;car. The Russian government had offered to come in under the terms propesed by the Danish government. He believed the Prussian governmert, though anxious tor the abolition of the dues were waiting to see whut terms the British government proposec ftr their abontion before stating ler own terms. As yet, the only terms which hat been offered for the abolition of the dues had come from Denmark herself. Ifa separate treaty were entered ints between Denmark and the United States, the American flag woult simply cover American goods. All other goo is passing the Sound iu American vessels would still be Hable to the payment of Sound dues. By Mr. BRaMigy Mooxe—At present the dues were mortgaged by the Danish government to a firm in Lon. don, He wag not aware that any proposal had been made for their redemption, Ry the Cmancktion or te Excurgcer—The United States ‘al made an offer to Denmark, aud if Dewmark reiused 10 accept that offer, she would do so at the risk of incurring a war with America. If, however, she were to accept 4, all Amarican ships would be exempt from pay me? t of the dues, and i at case he did not see what means the Danish government would have ot ascertal sing whether the goods carried were American or viherwise. At the present moment the American ships paid the dues under protest. Prussian vessels paid the dues, but aad a portion of them subsequently returned to them. By the CnarkMax—Toe Sound dues were an important source of revenue to the Danish government. The reve- nue amounted to from £220,000 to £230,000, exclusive of the expense of collection, which would probabiy amount to about £4,000 a year. The ligbt dues amounted to ‘about £4,000 a year, one fourth of which was paid by the shipping of this country, Vessels under forty tons bur- then paid a smaller sum for light dues than larger ves. sels; but as all the vessels which went from this country to the Baltic were above forty tous bigthen, they neces- sarily paid the higher rate. By the Cuaxcvtior ov THE ExcequkR—The sum which it was proposed that England sbould pay, in commutation, was £67,000 per annum, That sum was calculaved upon an average of nine years—from 1842 to 1547, aad from 1851 to 1856. The three years, 1848-50, were omitted on ‘account of the Danish war, because during its continu. ance the proportion of payments by different States was greatly altered. The principle adopted was, not that the flag under whieh the goods were carried should pay the dues, but the country to which the goods belonged. By Mr. Hurt—The Danish government were bound by treaty to maintain the lights in the Sound. Mr. Bexnipam, a merchant, of London, was then called, and spoke of the inconvenience and danger resulting from the detention of vessels in the Sound while the duties were being collected. He thought that the dues ought to be abolished altogether, and that the British government should pay a fixed sum annually to Denmark, and levy it upon the commerce of this country with the Baltic. He believed that the abolition of the dues would give an im petus to trade, and would lead to a great increase in the commerce of this country and the Baltic. At present, there were numerous agents at Elsinore, who obtained a considerable protit from the Sound dues, The otficers of the Sound Custom heuse were chiefly paid by fees l’ro. bably the Danish government obtained about 80 per cent of the dues levied. Wi-ness bad resided in Elsinore, but left it in 1819 At that time, it possessed a population ot from 7,000 to 8,000. In reply to Mr. Bramley Moore, The CuAinman stated that he proposed to adjourn the committee til Tuesday, wben he would be prepared to examine a witness connected with 2 Russian house, and to take the opinion of the commuttee upon their further course of proceeding. — then adjourned till Tuesday at one o'clock. Lord Palmerston and the United States. (From the Loudon Morning Star, July 15.) Nothing can be more erroneous than the potion that Lord Palmerston’s tmperious and swaggering demeanor is directed only against the heads of arbitrary govern- meni. I he makes any distinction at all, it is tuat im. plied in the cutting sarcasm addressed to him by Monta ambert, in his recent letter on Italy, when he speaks of ‘his prudent longanimity’’ toward the powerful. Most certainly the character of the governments with whic! Le bas to deal has no influence on that braggart ant bumptious temper in which he delights to induige. He Las shown the same alacrity to quarrel with the constitu ictal monarchy ot France under Louis Philippe, and with the democratic republic of America, as with Russia snd Austria, M. Guizot and Mr. Webster have com planed as bitterly as Prince Schwarzenburg or Coun Nesselrode of the difficulty of conducting any negotiations with a man of such a porcupine soul. Miss Martinea, nm her ‘History of the leace.”’ after describing the change of administration in 1842, by the accession of str R. Pee) to oflice, remarks that the appointment of Lord Aberdeen as Foreign Secretary was peculiariy dortunate at that crisis, in consequence, among wther things, of the alarming state im which Yord Paimerston had lef: our relations with Ame cica. She then adds, in allusion, it is supposed, to a con- ‘vorsation between herself and Mr. Webster, ‘It seems strange,” obverved ao eminent American statesman to wa Englieh traveller, “that we republicans should be glad when you tories come into power. One would think tuat our sympathics should be with your reiorm govern ments; but the (ruth is, we cannot get on with your whig Ministers. They do not understand business, and ther do pot understand official good manners. Your ¢ ‘tinisters are able and atventive and courteous, and wh we do not agree we are not likely to quarrel. But wite the whigs we bave to forbear, and nothing goes ov smoothly.’ In ike manner, when the debates about the right of search took place in the French Chambers in 184 it was openiy declared by Guizot and Soult that all th: dificulties on that question bad ocourred during Lora Paimerston’s term of office, and that whea Lord Aber toon succeeded bim nope bad arisen, And, we confess, tbat so far from feeling any assurance on the ground of liberal sympathies, we look with spectal anxiety to the prospect of abandoning, at the present eriisal moment, our relations with Ainerica to the un checked caprices of the rime Minister. Symptoms are not wanting to warrant the darkest apprehensions. We believe it ix ne ret in politica! circles that Lord Palmer ston Was bent upon the summary dismissal of Mr. Dalias and would have «ucceede t iu that determination but tor the epposition of bis colleagues, aud probaviy the sign Heant oi Mr. Hayter as to the state of feeling in the House and in the country. Every one must have 1e- marked uppressed bitterness which be betrayed to. wards the American government in the debate on Mr Crampton’s motion; and if he feels, as it is impossible for Lim pot to feel, that he stands humbled and rebuked be fore the Great Western repablie, we believe he is just the man to (ook (or an opportunity to wreak bis grodge For, let it be observed, that no successor pton bas been appointed, that no intelligence bas been communicated to the country as to the state or prospects of the negotiations res ecting Central America, and that sddit | forces continue to be sent out the Weet Jodi Is there no man in the House of Commons that bas the courage to insist upoa some exp! nawion being givea on these points before larliament is prorogued?

Searcity of Breadstuffs tn France. (From the Paris Constitutionnel, July 14.) We cousicer it useful to offer to the public certain por tive {ucts afforde i by history with respect to the natural causes of scarcity, in order to destroy the popula ja dice, which has existed for centuries, that attributes to the avarice of speculators and to the boarding of corn the occurrence of famine. Scarcity | no less nataral an event than abundance, that is, there exists in the reg course of events @ succession af circumstances connected with the climate that are respectively favorable and pre- judicial to the production of corn.

From the list given by our cotemporary we extract the most memorable instances of scarcity that have oocurred in France— From the year 1829 to 1834.8 continual scarcity exist ed, which was due to excessive and permanent heat During there six years it did not freere two days in suc. cession. The earth was covered with weeds and in sects, Ia 1565 an extraordinary scarcity ooourred. |1 2675 Pare was invaded by the population of the rural districts, driven in by famime. In 1/87 the ficlis were not cnitivated in conrequence of the wars of the league All strangers were driven ovt of Parie. In 1626 there was a general scarcity over Europe. In 1684 the wheat perixbed in consequence of inundations, In 162 a farmine ‘ollawed eight years of abandence. In 160% tbe oreps were destroyed by rains. The most terrible instance of searcity in modern tines took piace in 1709, The previous autuon bed been rainy; in the nightof the 6th Janu. ary there arose » north wind of @ severity hitherto un known to mao. The earth was frozen two fect in depth All the wheat perished, and not a single ear of coro was produced, In the spring the whole country was like ao immeree field. In 1764 a general famine is recorded In 1796 took place the Prairial insurrection. Bread was sold im Parie at three hundred francs, in assignats, the pound. In the provinces the pound was dis pered of at 20 to 50 sous in silver. In 1800, 1801, and 1806. partial scsreities occurred, In 1812 bread’ was worth 7 sous the pound in Paris, This dearness delayed for two months the departure of the army which invaded Rureia, these two months changed the face of the globe In 1817, the price of bread in Paris was 9 seus the ponnd d in 1820, 634 sows, in 1847, 6)¢ sous: and in 1666, @ sous the pound, This list proves that in J eighteen years of scarcity occur in the century, fe than one year of Want per 8 years of abundance undeniable iacts, and te doubt their significance They prove that the produce of acen cen insuffick nt of bad harvests.

Beckwountu, MOUNTAINEER, SCOUT AND Prongent, AND Cater or THE Crow NATION OF Inpians; by T. D. Bon- ner. Harper Brothers. . The subject of the present biography was one of the early pioneers of our Pacific settlements, and is well known to the officers of our army who have been stationed out there. Long resident amongst the Crow Indians, he acquired such popularity and ascendancy amongst them that he finally became their chief. A personal witness of most of the events which extended our conquests in those regions, and ofa restless, daring spirit himself, there are few careers which present so many features of interest as that of Beckwourth. Mr. Bonner, who obtained the story of his life from his own lips, has properly deemed the life of such a man a fitting companion for those of the wor:hies whose courage and energy paved the way for the spread of civilization on our continent. He has given the narrative as nearly as possible in Beckwourth’s own words—thereby pre- serving its spirit and originality—which of course form the main value of the story.

On or about the 27th of February fast, witha company of those destined for Nicaragua, I, with many citizens of Louisiana, left on the steamship Prometheus for San Juan del Norte, to join the filt- busters, as they were then called, in Nicaragua. We landed in Granada in time to find the country at war with one of the neighboring States—that of Costa Rica—and my company, with four others, were ordered to Guanacaste, which is claimed by Nica- ragua. After four or five days’ march we were met and defeated at Santa Rosa by three thousand two hundred of the Costa Ricans. We killed 173, and wounded +0 more, although they gave the number as very small. Ican certity to the truth of this, as I was wounded and taken prisoner on the field of Naturalization Laws of the United The bill introduced into the House of Reprisen| tives by Mr. Whitey, to establish a uniform rule naturalization, and to reptal all acts hertofd paseed and now in force on that subject, contang following provisces :— First.
